“Yup, you stunk.” I scrunch my nose remembering that horrible smell. I can hear my mother in my head… ‘Ungrateful abomination.’
“Sorry Kat, I wasn’t much fun to be around last night. I would rather have been here with you.”
Hearing him say that makes me smile but I have to remember he wants to make a career out of this and he can’t afford for me to be selfish with him.
“Kai, I love you and I know how much you love your music. So, if you need to go out and be seen, and flirt with girls to get there then I want you to do that, and have fun. As long as it’s me you are thinking about, and you don’t do anything to hurt me, we will be fine.”
“Kat, flirting with other girls does hurt me, because they aren’t you.” Swoon. If that doesn’t make my heart skip a beat.
I get up from bed and plant my lips on his, and he cups my butt squeezing it tight.
I step back from him and grin mischievously. “Remember Kai, if you kill it at your performance tonight, I’ll show you this…” I pull the waist of my bottoms down and flash him the top of my bare skin.
He scrubs his hands over his face. “Killing me Kat.”
I shove him out the door before I change my mind and show him right now.
Chapter 20
Getting ready for Kai’s performance tonight has me on edge. I have a feeling that tonight something great is about to happen, for him. I don’t know why but I just do. I am freaking out about what to wear. What does the girlfriend of a future rock star wear to his show? I want to look sexy but classy. I look through the clothes I brought with me and everything I have sucks.
Kai is with the band doing a sound check, and his mom took Khloe out for the evening because she was pitching a fit about wanting to see Kai sing tonight.
Grabbing my room key, I decide this calls for a shopping trip. I walk the strip aimlessly window-shopping waiting for something to catch my eye. Finally when I am about to give up, I see it. There is a white dress with quarter length sleeves on it. The underneath is white and sheer with a cream lace overlay. I rush inside to try it on. The hemline falls pretty short above my knees, but I can totally pull it off. I find the perfect necklace to compliment it. It has a long chain and guitar pendant that falls between my breasts.
Excited I make my purchase and get back to the room so I can hopefully knock Kai off his feet when he sees me tonight.
I wash my hair and blow-dry it. The hotel has this great shampoo that tames my hair. I use my straightener to give it a finished smooth appearance. I take my time applying my makeup, giving my eyes a smoky look. I paint my lips a soft red to match my nails from my manicure yesterday. Spritzing a little perfume on my neck, I’m ready. Now I just have to wait for Kai.
Around thirty minutes pass with me tapping my foot anxiously trying not to sweat. Finally, the door opens but it is Kelli and Khloe.
“Katie pwincess!” Khloe shrieks touching my dress.
“You look beautiful Katie. My son is a lucky guy.” Kelli gives me a hug and I try not to cry at something as simple as a compliment and a hug.
I snap a picture of Khloe-bug and me. I start to send it to Raven but then I remember I am mad at her for ignoring my question.
Hunter and Vance come through the door, their jaws drop.
“Dayummmmmn,” they both say.
I laugh and shake my head when Khloe walks over to them holding her hand out expectantly wanting to be paid for their swear word. Jake comes in with Kai trailing behind him. Jake looks at me and his hand smacks Kai in the chest to look at me.
Kai swallows hard, then he smiles with those soul-piercing dimples at me, and I could die.
His mom tells Khloe she has to get ready for bed and she pouts. “Kai, Katie pwincess you no frog Kai, but Kai can kiss pwincess Katie,” she says batting her little lashes at him.
“I’ll do that,” he says squatting down to hug her. “What I really need is a Khloe-bug hug for good luck tonight.” She claps and wraps her arms around his neck. He picks her up and gives her to his mom.
The guys have gone to get ready so it’s just Kai and me in the living room of the suite. He comes to me in one easy stride. His hands are up the back of my dress and pinching my rear. When he feels that I am wearing a thong, he growls in my ear. “You aren’t going out like this. Put some leggings or something on,” he demands darkly.
“No,” I reply denying his request.
“Baby, it’s spring break. The club is going to be crawling with horny college guys and Marines from Camp Lejeune. They will be trying to hit on you all night and I won’t be able to concentrate because I will be too busy trying not to kill them all for looking at you.”
; “Kai, I’m not changing. No one could tear me away from you. Not even wild horses,” I sing the line from the popular song and he laughs at me.
