Chapter 51: I Wanna Know

“Hello…hello…HELLO!” Stephanie’s voice screamed into the phone. “Listen, I don’t know who you are, but would you quit calling here and hanging up. Jeez, you could at least talk to me.” She growled then hung up.

Kevin just sighed and hung up the phone to. Why couldn’t he just talk to her? “God Kevin get a grip.” He stated strongly as he stood from his bed and heading for the front door of his house, grabbing his keys on the way out. “If I can’t talk to her, I’ll just visit her.”

Driving down the highway to the ol’ familiar apartment building. Parking his truck, Kevin just stared up at the lit window that accompanied her bedroom. Just as he was about to turn off the car, Kevin heard a familiar voice fill the radio.

“Hi! This is Stephanie of eNVY and you are listening to KIIS 105!”

Holding his breath Kevin sighed. She sounded so happy, maybe because he was siting next to her on the couch when she called into the radio to premiere their new song ‘Don’t Say Things That You Don’t Mean’.

Boy I know your lies, And they ain’t tight, When you’re out all night, You don’t think I see it in your eyes, I know the truth, What can I say to you, To make you see, That I don’t believe

Kevin heard Stephanie’s sassy voice sing to the up beat tempo. “I miss you…” He whispered his eyes still transfixed on her window as the song floated through one ear and out the other.

-At the same time-

“A.J, isn’t that Kevin’s truck?” Theresa wondered noticing the blue vehicle sitting in the parking lot in front of her apartment.

“Hey it is.” A.J cocked a brow. “Wonder why he’s here.”

“Hopefully to make up with Stephy.” Theresa smiled at the thought. It would be nice to see her friend happy again. Pulling over to the side, A.J turned off the engine of his Expedition and climbed out along with his girlfriend. “I’m gonna go see what he’s up to.” Before A.J could say anything, Theresa was already up to the tail end of the truck. “Hi Kev!” She smiled sweetly.

“Ahh! Theresa! Don’t do that!” Kevin hollered clutching his chest.

“Sorry. Are you here to talk to Steph?” Theresa grinned happily her hands together in hope. “I’m sure she’d be happy to see you.”

“I don’t know…”

“Come on Kevin.” Theresa urged noticing A.J coming up behind her.

“Is this all your working?” Kevin smirked shaking his head at his friend.

“Nope. She’s just trying to help out her friends.” A.J winked as he watched Theresa open the truck door and pull Kevin from his seat.

-In Stephanie’s room-

Brushing her black locks, Stephanie sighed into the mirror as ‘Again’ by Janet Jackson came on her radio.

“How can I be strong I've asked myself, time and time I've said, that I'll never fall in love with you. Again.” Stephanie sang quietly walking towards her dresser and pulling out her silk black PJ pants and slipping them on after she removed her jeans. “A wounded heart you gave, my soul you took away, good intentions you had many, I know you did, I come from a place that hurts, God knows how I’ve cried, and I never want to return, never fall again, making love to you felt so good and oh so right.”

“I always thought you had a beautiful voice.” A baritone voice muttered from her bedroom door. Dropping the tank top she had pulled from her dresser, Stephanie gasped in shock as she turned around to see Kevin, the man she loved, standing in the doorway of her room. “Hi Stephanie.”

“What are you doing here?” She whispered lightly the tears that she had cried all out stung her eyes to be released.

“I came here to talk to you. As you’ve noticed I hadn’t had enough guts to talk to you on the phone.” Kevin stated noticing Stephanie cock her head to the side.

“That was you that…”

“Yep.” Kevin nodded walking towards her. “I love you Stephanie.”

“Kevin what do you want?” Stephanie hissed realizing after her shock what he had done to her weeks ago. “We broke up. It’s over remember?” “I don’t want to remember. What I did was wrong and I shouldn’t have did that.” Kevin frowned shaking his head.

“If it was so bad Kev, then why did you do it?” Stephanie whispered as his body proceeded closer to hers.

“I did it for you…so you can make it big like us…” Kevin trailed off his arms slowly making their way about her waist.

“What are you talking about?” She whispered inhaling sharply feeling his body touch hers.

“I did it for your group. It’s a long story, I don’t want to talk about it. I just want…to…kiss you.” Kevin said slowly as he gently closed his eyes and kissed her lips lightly making her sigh in content. Grasping on to what was going on, Stephanie quickly pushed him away just as ‘I Wanna Know’ by Joe came onto her stereo.

Yeah, oh yeah
Alright, oh, oh, oh

It's amazing how you knock me off my feet, hmm
Every time you come around me I get weak, oh yeah
Nobody ever made me feel this way, oh
You kiss my lips and then you take my breath away
So I wanna know

I wanna know what turns you on
So I can be all that and more
I'd like to know what makes you cry
So I can be the one who always makes you smile

“Please Stephy, I love you.” Kevin whispered. “I just want to be able to hold you again, I want to be with you again.” He pleaded.

Girl he never understood what you were worth, hmm no
And he never took the time to make it work
(You deserve more loving, girl)
Baby I'm the type of man to show concern, yes I do, oh
Anyway that I can please you let me learn
So I wanna know

I wanna know what turns you on
So I can be all that and more
I'd like to know what makes you cry
So I can be the one who always makes you smile

“Talk to me.” He commanded moving her head so she’d look at him. “Please.”

“What am I suppose to do Kevin? You broke my heart, how do I know that your not just gonna fuck me tonight, then leave me the next morning?” She hissed under her breath, Kevin’s jaded eyes putting her under a light spell.

Tell me what I gotta do to please you
Baby anything you say I'll do
Cause I only wanna make you happy
From the bottom of my heart, it's true
Tell me what I gotta do to please you
Baby anything you say I'll do
Cause I only wanna make you happy
From the bottom of my heart, it's true

“I wont, I promise…”

“Well Kevin, you made a lot of promises and never kept them.” She cut in slightly pushing him with her hand, but Kevin grabbed her hand and held it against his chest.

“Can you feel that? That’s my heart Stephanie Christine Lindsey…and its breaking as we speak.” Kevin cried the tears he had been trying to hold back finally released themselves free.

I wish that I could take a journey through your mind, alright
And find emotions that you always try to hide babe, oh
I do believe that there's a love you wanna share, oh, oh
I'll take good care of you lady, have no fear, oh
So I wanna know

I wanna know what turns you on
So I can be all that and more
I'd like to know what makes you cry
So I can be the one who always makes you smile

Stephanie cried at the sight of the man she loved in front of her crying out in sympathy trying to get her back. Then she heard his voice sing along with the mans on the radio.

“Tell me what I gotta do to please you Baby anything you say I'll do Cause I only wanna make you happy From the bottom of my heart, it's true…”

“Kevin…” Stephanie cut herself off as she grabbed him around the neck and pulled his head towards his kissing his lips passionately finally letting all of the love she felt inside go. Pulling away, Kevin started at the raven-haired beauty and smirked.

“I love you so much.”

“I love you too Kevin Scott.” Stephanie smiled then turned serious. “And DON’T YOU EVER…do that to me again.”

“I wont, I promise.” Kevin nodded kissing her again as the two headed for the bed gently tearing off each other’s clothes and discarding them upon the floor.
