I'm so sorry that I didn't update yesterday but I got my first paycheck today (I started writing this at like 11pm last night) and I bought myself an early Christmas gift, the iTunes version of Ghostbusters and I ended up watching the Holiday features and whoops it was 4am...lol.
Anyways here is chapter 15. It's very fluffy and cute so I hope you enjoy.
Kristen's POV
A week had passed since Kate had come for a surprise visit and I was missing her so incredibly much. Thinking about her all day every day had made work a lot more complicated than I had hoped.
As I got off work yesterday I couldn't wait until I got home. I poured myself a glass of wine and then turned on the tub and soaked in the warm water for like three hours. It was exactly what I needed.
It was now Saturday, a little over 11am and I'm sitting on the couch with Moose in my lap. I'm holding my phone in the right hand debating whether or not to text Kate. I really want to since I miss her so much but she's probably busy and I don't want to bother her.
Last night before bed I did a lot of thinking about my relationship with Kate and I know it's going really good which is positive and I honestly so don't want it to end, I honestly want to take it further but I don't know if that's something Kate want to and and that's why I actually want to text her because we're really need talk about this.
Kate's POV
Leslie had texted yesterday and asked if I wanted to come over and honestly it was something I really needed.
A week had passed since my surprise visit for Kristen and even though we have talked everyday I was still missing her so extremely much. Long distance relationships rarely work out but I don't wanna give up on this relationship I want to take it to the next level but the question is if Kristen wants that as well. So meeting up with Leslie and being able to talk to her about this feels amazing.
It was a little over 2pm as I knocked on Leslie's door.
"Yoo McKinnon!" Leslie greets me as I walk in.
"Finally getting my name right huh?" I tease.
We sit down on Leslie's couch and I look out the window.
"Something is bothering you."
"Yeah I know."
"What is it? Does it have to do with Kristen?"
"Yeah."
Leslie put her hand on my thigh.
"I'll go make coffee and then we'll talk about this okay?"
"Yeah."
Leslie got up and I kept staring out the window. I slid my phone out from my pocket and checked to see if I had any new messages. Nothing much just some messages from the SNL girls group chat but nothing from the person I wanted to have a message from most of all, Kristen.
Leslie came back five minutes later with two cups of coffee.
"So what's going on?"
I grabbed the cup and looked down at the brown liquid. I sighed.
"My feelings from Kristen has evolved. I wanna move forward but I'm afraid..." I stopped because I couldn't continue but Leslie continued for me.
"You're afraid she doesn't feel the same? Or wanna move forward because she's not ready?"
"Yeah." I nod my head.
"I'm honestly so conflicted. I've been up several nights thinking about this and it's been messing with my work."
"Damn girl you gotta tell her!"
"I know. The worst thing is that her birthday is coming up in a few days and what if we break up? I wanna spend it with her so badly."
Leslie moved closer to me and gave me a hug.
"But what if she's on the same page? You can't have this eating you up. You really do have to tell her."
"Yeah." My phone buzzed in my pocket and I picked it up to see a new message from Kristen and a smile crept up on my face.
"What?" Leslie asked.
"She just texted me."
"Oh my gosh! What does it say?!" Leslie exclaims.
I open the message up and the smile I just got fades.
Kristen: We need to talk.
"What does it say?"
"It says we need to talk." I let out with sadness in my voice.
"That doesn't mean it's gonna be bad."
"You're right."
I send a text back to Kristen.
Me: I know.
Just a few seconds later I get a reply from Kristen.
Kristen: I'm on my way.
"What's happening?" Leslie asks. I had totally forgot I was in her apartment.
"She's on her way here."
"But that's good."
"I guess so."
"Hey girl this is be alright okay?"
"I just so nervous. I don't want this to end."
"I know baby girl."
Kristen had texted that her flight would be here at 8pm so I had some hours to prepare.
I spent some more hours at Leslie's and she tried basically everything to make me think about other things. Some had worked some had not.
I went home around 5:30pm. I decided to walk because I needed to clear my head. I was so scared of what the outcome of this talk was gonna have. When I reached my apartment I fed Nino and then went to tidy up a little before Kristen arrives.
Kristen's POV
I got everything ready for me and Moose and then we left for the airport.
I checked in and went through security and then I sat down and took a cup of coffee.
I would be lying if I didn't say I was hella nervous. I was honestly so nervous that it felt like I was gonna throw up. I was so scared that our talk wouldn't go the way I hoped and that Kate wasn't ready to move forward and that we would break up just days before my birthday. Thinking about it honestly sucks so much.
I got on the plane and closed my eyes hoping to catch some sleep before I land in New York and like that 6 hours later I'm in New York. I get all of my things plus Moose of course and head out from the busy JFK airport. Since this was last minute I didn't have time to book a car so I just took a cab to Kate's place.
The cab stopped outside of Kate's building and I payed and got out. I took a deep breath.
It's now or never Kristen.
Kate's POV
It was a little over 9pm and I heard a knock on my door and I knew it had to be Kristen. I got up and unlocked the door and on the other side stood a very nervous Kristen, it was so obvious she was nervous and it made me feel better because apparently I wasn't the only one nervous.
"Hi." Kristen lets out quietly.
"Hi." I say back.
I moved away from the door so Kristen could walk in.
She dropped all of her things and walked directly into my arms and started sobbing.
"Hey what's wrong?"
I close the door and lead Kristen to the couch. I help her sit down and then I got and let Moose out of her bag so she can go play with Nino if he isn't asleep. Honestly wouldn't surprise me. Then I move towards Kristen and sit down next to her.
Her breathing starts to normalize and the sobbing is subsiding.
"I've been so nervous about this all day." She cried and looked down at her lap.
"Honey look at me." Kristen didn't move so I tilted her head up with my hand.
"I'm as nervous as you trust me."
"You are?"
"Yeah. Just ask Leslie." I chuckled.
That made Kristen chuckle as well.
"So who should start?" She asks.
I took a deep breath because I knew that this could either turn bad or really freaking good.
"How about we say it at the same time?"
Kristen nods.
"Seems like a good idea."
"Okay then on three?" I asks and she nods again.
"1...2...3..."
"I want to move forward." The both blurt out at the same time.
When they both realized what they both had just said they both let out air that they had been holding and smiles crept up on both their faces.
"Oh my gosh. I'm so relived." Kristen exclaims.
"Me too." I declared.
I pulled Kristen in for a hug and whispered into her ear.
"I've got you, and you've got me." And then I kissed her passionately.
Yo guys I'm so tired. I've been so busy today. First I went Christmas present shopping, got home wrapped them, put up the Christmas tree and decorated it, ate dinner, took a nap (I was already exhausted at 7pm lol), woke up to play bingo (a Christmas tradition in my family the night before Christmas) and then I wrote this. It's now over 12am and I'm exhausted so I'm gonna head to bed. I'll see if I'll be able to update tomorrow as it is Christmas and I wanna spend it with my parents and aunt. If not a new chapter will be up Sunday most definitely!
Until next time :*
