“Can we still talk sex and just leave my parents out of it.” He cracks a smile with those dimples that own me.
“You are horrible!” I smack his stomach. He clutches my hand in his and holds it against the top of his thigh.
“You like it.”
“Maybe a little,” I joke.
We make it to Jake’s and Penny is sitting in her car waiting for us.
“You been waiting long?”
“Only about ten minutes. I felt weird going in alone. I don’t know anyone besides you.”
Kai barely acknowledges Penny with a chin lift. Guess I will have to settle for him tolerating her for now. She will grow on him, eventually.
When Penny walks in with Kai and me, Hunter and Vance jump up, nearly tripping one another, rushing over to say hello…
A distasteful look washes over Raven’s face. Oops, I forgot to tell her we are friends again. Maybe I will take a play from her books and say it’s complicated. Vance and Hunter are practically drooling over Penny and she is loving the attention.
Kai pulls me off to the side. “I think we should have just stayed home in my bed tonight.”
“Don’t be a party pooper. The guys are excited Kai, and you should want to celebrate with them.”
“I am more concerned about missing you,” he says pouting with sad eyes.
Grabbing his mouth, I squish it between my fingers, giving him a quick peck. I turn his head towards his bandmates. “Look at them Kai. They are so damn happy. Now get your butt out there and have a good time with your friends.”
“I like it when you get all bossy Kat.” He runs his tongue over my top lip distracting me.
Next thing I know, he has me pushed against the wall in the corner, with his hand down my pants and his tongue down my throat.
A pillow comes sailing across the room knocking Kai in the back of the head.
“Get a room!” Jake shouts.
“Want a brownie?” Vance asks Penny, holding up some gooey square.
“Do NOT take that brownie!” Kai calls out. “You see what happens Kat. You bring a friend and Vance tries to get her high.”
“What’s wrong with his brownie?” Penny asks us, totally clueless.
“Wow, she really is a dumb blonde isn’t she,” Raven insults Penny and rolls her eyes.
“Like you are so smart,” Kai fires at her.
“Shut up Kai!” She shouts at him.
“Well this is going nowhere fast. Kai, why don’t you guys play a song for Penny?” I suggest hoping to lighten the mood.
Jake speaks up, “might not be such a bad idea. We need to warm up for Monday.”
That decides it. It is really funny watching Hunter and Vance trying to one up each other in front of Penny.
“Wow they are amazing!” Penny exclaims listening in awe.
“I know right?” I nudge her shoulder. Raven is sitting on the other side of me still being rude.
“I can’t believe the guys are going to LA, and we just have to sit back. I have been their manager since they first formed Cooper’s Religion. Aren’t you pissed that they didn’t want you Katie?”
