Chapter 4
Krys and I didn't talk for the rest of the week, she wouldn't talk
to me.
I felt bad even though I didn't know why I should be.
"Hello?"
I asked answering the phone.
"Hey," Nick said.
"Where
have you been? I've been paging and calling your butt for days!"
"Sorry,
I was out of town, you ready to go out?"
"Yeah, when?" I asked
looking at the clock.
"8."
"Nick eight is in like 2
minutes," I said as I heard a knock at the door. "Typical of you Carter."
I
opened the door and hung up the phone to see
Nick with his cell in hand and a
goofy grin.
"Ready to go?" He asked as I sighed.
~*~*~*~
"We're
going on your roof for my final?" I asked a little confused.
"Yes
shut up, I'll show you why in a second," he said as he
put a ladder up to
the side of the house. "Ladies first."
"Thanks I think,"
I said as I started to climb. I reached the top
and sat down, letting my feet
dangle. "Remember when we used
to come up here?" I asked with a grin.
"Yep,
then you almost fell off and no one's been
aloud up here since," Nick said
with a laugh.
"It's not funny I almost died!" I said with the pouted
lip.
"I know, take a joke Caisse," Nick said sitting aside me.
"Wow
I forgot about the view," I said looking at the stars.
The moon reflected
light onto the lake making it so beautiful.
"Me too!" Nick said
with a laugh. "Now this, this is what I miss when I go on tour."
"I
bet, I don't know how you could leave something like this," I said in awe.
"You
get used to it," he said with a sigh.
"Nick, what happened between
you and Krys? She hasn't talked
to me since it happened, and you didn't either,"
I said looking at him.
"Krys…I can't tell you," Nick said with a
sigh.
"Why?"
"Fine you got it out of me," he said
with a small grin. "Krys is jealous of
me and you."
"WHAT?"
I asked.
"She thinks we got something…or something like that,"
Nick said
as I cheered in my head.
"Why would she think that?"
I asked as I looked at him. The light was
perfect on his face, it was so beautiful.
I wanted to kiss him so bad then,
I could almost feel his lips upon mine.
"I
don't know! We gotta get to your studying, come on," he said as I sighed.
"Okay
but I'm warning you now, I know absolutely no
constellations," I said as
Nick shrugged.
"You will by your class, promise," he said with a
comforting
voice. "Believe me I don't want you leaving me."
"Thanks
Carter," I said with a grin.
"Don't mention it…okay let's start
with this one, what's that?"
He said pointing straight above us.
"It's
in a straight line…I forgot dammit! I know this…ugh!
Nick help me!" I
whined.
"It's Orion's what?" He asked as I groaned.
"I
forgot!"
"Oh boy this is going to be a long night," he said
as we laughed.
~*~*~*~
"Okay, review time and then you can go
home and get
your beauty sleep," Nick said as I nodded confidently.
"That?"
He pointed.
"Big Dipper."
"That?"
"Little
Dipper."
"That?"
"Orion's Belt."
"That?"
"Camelop…pa…"
"Camelopardis,"
he corrected as I nodded. "That?"
"Draco."
"That?"
"Corvus."
"That?"
"Come
on Nick I know them all now, give it up," I whined.
"Nope, tell
me that one," he said as I shrugged.
"What one?"
"That,
right there!"
"I don't see any constellation right there Carter,"
I groaned.
"Come here," he said pulling me to him. "Right
there."
"There?"
"Yeah."
"I don't
know that one," I said looking at him with a laugh.
We were so close together
I could feel his heartbeat pounding.
"I actually don't either,"
he said softly. We grinned before we
both pulled in, slowly and kissed. It
felt so nice, so great…
I wanted to feel more.
"Come on let's um…get
you home," he said walking down the ladder.
~*~*~*~
"Thank
you for helping me," I said as he parked.
"It took forever, but
I finally got you to probably a C on your exam,"
he said with a small grin.
"Are
you kidding? Today was definitely B material Carter,"
I said with a laugh.
"B
material then, but I did it for you," he said looking at me.
His eyes almost
blew me away at how bright they were in the dark.
"I'll always love you
for that," I said with a grin. I kissed his
cheek softly and opened the
passenger door. "Are you coming in?"
"Not today, it's around
4 anyways I don't want to wake her up," he said as I nodded.
"Bye,
I'll call you and tell you how I do," I said as he nodded. "Bye Nick,"
I waved.
"See ya tomorrow," he said pulling out of the apartment
complex and out onto the road. I sighed and brushed my fingers
against my
lips and smiled bright.
I jumped up and down with a smile and ran up the stairs
into my bedroom.
"Boomer I love you!" I whispered picking him
up and dancing
with him. I put him down and jumped onto my bed, grabbing
my
pillow and hugging it tight. I pulled out my poem book and began writing:
The
moonlight does wonders to the mind;
This today I did find.
Your face shined
deep in my heart;
Where I soon melted apart,
Our embrace made us smile;
As
our lips touched for a while,
Soft and pure;
I endured,
How I long for them
once more.
I smiled wide and put the book back under my pillow.
I
was so happy, yet I didn't know what was going to lye ahead.
