Never Judge a Book By Its Cover
Chapter 14
A half an hour later Brian was back at my house as promised. I wore a short black skirt and a tight, button-up blue Tommy shirt. My hair was pulled up loosly with curls coming down and I wore my black strappy, chunky, platforms. He wore a pair of black baggy jeans, and a white t-shirt with black trim on the neck-line and at the arms. He looked so good (as usual!) and smelled wonderful, too. That night, Nick, Erika, AJ, Jenn, Kevin, Howie, Brian, and I all went out together. It was the first time I had really had a chance to hang out with any of the other guys. The whole night I couldn't take my eyes off of Brian. He looked so freaking hot! You always hear that sex won't bring you closer in a relationship, but I think it really helped with us. There was no more of that annoying sexual tension crap anymore and Brian knew it was okay to touch me more now. We ended up at this really cute little cafe/bar/restaurant type place. It was really quaint. One of those family-owned-and-operated kind of places. The cafe part was outside on the sidewalk. The restaurant part was inside. It was very neatly decorated with candles and flowers. The bar part was in another section that extended outside with a few tables. We sat on the borderline of the restaurant and the bar. Mostly in the restaurant, though.
"Hey, I'm going to get something to drink. Do you want anything?" asked Brian standing up after we placed our food orders. It was kind of weird how it was set up because even though it was all one place, and owned by the same people, if you wanted anything alcohalic, you had to get up and get it yourself from the bar. You couldn't order it from the waiter.
"Sure. How about a...rum and coke?" I said smiling. Everyone looked at me with confused expressions on their faces. "What?"
"We just didn't think that you were a very heavy drinker...that's all," said Nick playing with the straw that was bobbing up and down in his glass of Mountain Dew.
"I'm not. Don't fret anyone. No need to lose sleep if I want to have a drink once in a while!" I said laughing. Everyone's faces turned back to normal and they all started talking again.
"I'll be back," said Brian as he kissed my hand and walked to the bar. Jenn, who was sitting on the other side of me, leaned over and started talking to me.
"So I heard something about you and Brian."
"Oh really? What about?"
"You, Brian, a bottle of whipped cream, some ice cubes, and a cucumber," she said laughing lightly.
"Really? Who said that?"
"Nick."
"Nick's such a little lying bastard! Take away the whipped cream, the ice cubes, and the cucumber, and you'll have what happened."
"So you and Brian did do something, though?"
"Maybe........"
"Yes?"
"Maybe........"
"Ugh...yes or no?"
"Guess."
"You did, didn't you?" I just nodded smiling. "How was he?"
"Jenn! Don't ask me that!"
"Was he bad or something? Just tell me!"
"He was..........incredible!" I said sighing.
"Damn girl! You are so in love, aren't you?"
"Yes! So what about you and AJ? I heard something about you guys, too."
"It was most likely true! We can't seem to keep our hands off each other. And girl! He is soooo good!"
"Okay, that is stuff I just don't care to know about!"
"Hey, whatcha talkin bout?" asked AJ leaning into our conversation.
"Just about how you and Brian compare in bed," said Jenn kissing him.
"So the whipped cream, ice cubes, and cucumber thing was true? Wow! I didn't think B-Rok had it in him!" said AJ smiling.
"No you moron! We didn't do anything like that! We just..." AJ nodded sarcastically not believing a word I was saying. "Ugh...just forget it. Just think whatever you want to, I guess."
"Oooohhh. Alright!" he said licking his lips.
"AJ shut up!" I said hitting him on the top of the head.
"Oh alright! I believe you!"
"Thank you!" I said as he and Jenn sat back in their seats and started flirting as always!
"Here you go!" said Brian setting the drink in front of me.
"Thanks baby," I said lifting it off the table and taking a sip. "Wanna hear something funny?"
"Sure."
"They all think that this afternoon when you were at my uncle's house, that we used whipped cream, ice cubes, and a cucumber! Can you believe that?" I asked as he snaked his arm around my waist.
"No way! Man, these people don't know how to mind their own business! I guess I should have warned you about that earlier!"
"Nah, it's alright. I just think it's funny!"
***1 hour later***
We were all done with dinner and heading back home. Nick, Erika, Howie, and Kevin all went back to Brian's apartment in Nick's Durango while AJ, Jenn, Brian, and I headed over to my uncle's house for a little while in the silver eclipse.
"Hey baby," whispered Brian leaning over to me while I was driving.
"Yeah?" I asked not taking my eyes off the road.
"I want you to meet my parents," he said kissing my neck playfully. I almost slammed on the brakes. His parents? This guy is really serious about this! I never really expected this to become any more then a fling. I mean, I live in Chicago and he's always traveling! I can't find a possible way for this to work out. Hold on a second, though......
"Don't your parents live in Kentucky?"
"Yeah."
"Um...we're in Florida."
"I was planning on going up there and visiting them anyway."
"I don't know."
"Come on! Please?"
"Alright," I said glancing from the road, to him and smiling.
"YES!!!"
"Hey, what's all the noise about?" asked AJ from the backseat. He was obviously about to fall asleep.
"Kaitlyn and I are going to Kentucky so she can meet my parents!" Brian said happily.
"That's great," said AJ, not to interested. We pulled into the driveway of my uncle's house and all piled out. I unlocked the door and when we walked in, my uncle was standing at the foot of the stairs.
"Hey Katie!" he said. Why does he always have to call me that? I hate that stupid name!!!!!!
"Hey U.K.! What's up?"
"Nothin! You gonna introduce me to your friends?" he said referring to AJ, Jenn, and Brian.
"Oh sure! Duh! U.K., this is AJ, Jenn, and Brian," I said pointing to each of them. "AJ, Jenn, and Brian, this is my Uncle Kaleb."
"Nice to meet you, sir," said Brian shaking his hand. Sir? Awww...how cute! I don't think I have ever heard anyone call my uncle sir before! Must be that southern thing.
"Call me Kaleb! Sir makes me sound about 50 years old!"
"What's up K-dog?" said AJ laughing. I started cracking up along with Jenn, Brian, and my uncle.
"AJ! You're such a freak!" said Jenn hitting his arm.
"Let's go upstairs!" I said still laughing. We all started doing upstairs leaving my uncle downstairs.
"Hey Kaitlyn," he called up to me.
"Yeah?"
"Will you come here a second?"
"Uh, sure. I'll be back. Just go ahead in my room," I said to AJ, Jenn, and Brian. Brian nodded and lead the way. "What's up U.K.?" I asked coming back down the stairs.
"Sit down," he said in a demanding voice. Uh oh...what's going on? He has never been demanding with me ever in my life!
"Okay..." I said quietly sitting down on the couch.
"Would you mind explaining this?" he asked holding up an empty condom wrapper. 'Shit!!!!!!!!' I thought. "I found it next to your bed on the ground. Mind telling me where it came from?"
"Uh..." Think Kaitlyn, THINK!!!!! "Uh..."
"You had sex in MY house, didn't you?" he stood up towering over me.
"U.K., I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I didn't really mean for it to happen. It just sort of did!" I said putting my head in my hands. "But I'm 20 years old! It's not like it's illegal."
"It may not be illegal by law, but is illegal to do something like that in my house, under my roof. I let you and your friend stay here, just because I thought it would be nice and you go and screw some guy in my house? That's just sick."
"I'm so sorry."
"Yeah, well, your going to me sorry, alright! You and that little Erika girl are going back to Illinois tomorrow." My head shot up.
"No, Kaleb! You can't do that! Please!" I said said crying.
"You should have thought about that before," he said and walked out of the room and into his office. I could hear him on the phone with my mother. I sat on the couch and cried until I found enough strength to make it upstairs. 'Perfect timing,' I thought. 'I knew this was all to good to be true.'
