When we finally make it home, he walks me to my room and presses me up against the wall for a heated goodnight kiss that leads to him coming in my room and feeling me up until I pass out.
The next morning Khloe is bouncing on my bed at eight a.m., telling me to get ready for church.
Reluctantly I roll out of bed and drag my hung over butt to the shower. I really don’t have the energy to wash my hair, but there is no way I am going to church with my hair smelling like pot.
After getting presentable, I join the Cooper family for breakfast. It is only day two but I feel more comfortable than I did yesterday. It feels nice to spend time with a family that actually acts like a family.
Khloe begs to ride in the car with Kai and me to church and she gets her way. We look like a young family as we walk into church with Khloe holding both our hands. I see Becks sitting with his grandpa watching us with a shocked face as we take our seats next to Kai’s parents. Penny is sitting a few pews in front of us with her parents and Aaron.
The rest of this week goes by quickly as we prepare for our trip to the beach. We are supposed to leave Saturday morning. Kai and I are taking his car while his mom will be driving her Escalade. She was hesitant to let us drive down on our own but she eventually gave in to Kai. The rest of the band isn’t driving down until Tuesday because Vance and Hunter have to work. Raven is bummed that we will all be at the beach without her, but I promise to keep an eye on Jake for her as much as I can. Most of my time will be spent with Khloe though. Not that I mind.
Raven comes over to help me pack. It’s Friday night so the only people home are Khloe and I. That is until Kirk comes home. Raven and I are in the kitchen while she waits for Jake to pick her up. Kirk’s face turns white as a ghost when he sees Raven. She grows quiet and chews her bottom lip harshly. Yeah, something definitely went on between them, but what?
I don’t get the chance to ask Raven because Jake is out front beeping his horn for her. After I walk her to the door, Kirk is nowhere to be found. I walk upstairs and peek in on Khloe one more time before going to my room. I hope I can stay awake until Kai gets home. I want to get in bed early for our drive tomorrow.
Kelli knocks on my door when she gets home and reminds me to set my alarm so I can help her load her vehicle in the morning. She and Khloe are leaving about two hours before Kai and me, since he needs to sleep a bit more due to his working late tonight.
I crawl into bed, tossing, and turning as I listen for Kai to get in but I pass out before he does.
My alarm sounds at seven a.m. and I throw on a t-shirt and jeans and help Kelli with Khloe. I fix her a bowl of cereal and help get her snacks packed in the car.
Khloe throws a fit of epic proportion when she realizes I am not getting in the car with her. She rolls around on the kitchen floor holding her breath. She is definitely used to getting her way. She gets into her car seat for me reluctantly with her red face streaked with tears. I promise her that we will be having fun together at the beach soon. It seems to relax her some but not much.
Once they leave, I go inside and start putting Kai’s and my bags in the trunk of his car. He has his guitar in the backseat. Jake and the boys are bringing the rest of their equipment when they come. I go up to Kai’s room to wake him but he isn’t in his room. I go to my room and find him in my shower. Locking the door to my room, I strip down to my panties and surprise him in the shower. We have fooled around but we have yet to see one another fully naked, until now. Well I have my panties on but Kai is in the buff.
“What are you doing Katie?” He asks swallowing hard.
I bite my bottom lip and smirk. “Saving the planet by conserving water.”
He shakes his head and laughs.
“Why are you in my shower?”
“Maybe I was feeling lu
cky,” he says pulling me flush against him under the steady stream of warm water. He is hard and rubbing himself against my stomach. “I want you so bad Kat.”
He pushes my back against the tile wall of the shower and tells me to wrap my legs around his waist. I do with his help. His tip is pressed against my wet panties. If my panties were to move ever so slightly he would be rubbing against me skin to skin.
I could die right here. He grinds his hips into me and I moan in his ear biting the lobe. I can only imagine how good sex with him will feel.
“God Kat, you just made me cum.”
I am glowing that he has such a strong reaction to me.
I leave Kai to finish his shower in private and get dressed so I will be ready to leave when he is. I am waiting in the car for Kai when an unknown number calls my phone. “Hello?”
“Um hello, I am trying to reach a Katie Francis on behalf of Nancy Francis.”
“Speaking,” I say wondering what kind of crap my mom is trying to pull.
“I am sorry to inform you that your mother was brought in to the emergency room early this morning severely beaten. She has you listed as her emergency contact.”
“Is she okay?”
“She has a lot of bruising and swelling, there is some internal bleeding around her kidney, but the doctor on call thinks she will be fine. We are keeping her tonight for observation but I expect her to be released tomorrow as long as she has no complications.”
“Thanks,” I say hanging up having mixed emotions.
