What We Wanted And What We Needed

Chapter 2

~Michael’s POV~

I walked up stairs almost right behind Katie, and we only went our separate ways when we went to get clothes to shower, for the queen commanded it. I rolled my eyes thinking about how no one ever defies that girl. I walked into my room and grabbed a shirt, boxers and some sweats. I would have worn shorts but I saw sweats first. I made it to the bathroom and with no one in there I assumed Katie had chosen the other bathroom to shower in. I turned on the water and started to undress. As I was about to pull off my boxers the door opened and in came Katie. “Did you want to shower in here? I can go to the other one.” Kat’s face turned red immediately and so I walked up to her concerned with her silence. I called out her name a few times but it was like someone pushed the freeze button on her body and she just didn’t move. Suddenly I felt something touch my upper abdomen and I flinched a little. I looked down to see Katie’s hand making it’s way down my body, tracing my body like she was painting it. Her hand reached my shorts and I felt my face get red. What was she doing? I noticed we were suddenly closer and I looked at Kat’s puckered, slightly open, soft looking, plump pink lips. How many times have I fantasized about this, this moment. The thought of kissing her had an effect on me, imagine actually kissing her. Before she got too close I decided to wake her from her trance and called out her name. “Kat...Kate...Katie? Hello?” I backed up so she wouldn’t lose her composure from our close proximity. She blinked a few times and I knew she was here again.  I decided I would mess with her a little and said “If you want I can pose for you to take pictures?” I thought I saw steam rising off her head but her face grew a bright red as she noticed I had caught her staring. She tried answering and had I been anyone else I wouldn’t have understood her panicked stutter.  “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to stare...I’ll leave now.” That was just it though I didn’t want her to go. I wanted to tell her how I felt and what I saw in her, what I loved about her. I wanted her to want to climb into the shower with me as we shared our first of many showers. I wanted her in my future. What was I thinking. No other girl made me feel this way. It was frustrating. I didn’t want her to leave, but what good could come from her staying.You don’t have too, I thought to myself. I want you to stay. She suddenly turned quickly around and with her turn her underwear went flying to the floor. “What did you say?” I suddenly realized I must have said a thought out loud and I felt embarrassed by what she accidentally heard me say. I bent down to grab her cute pink lace panties that had fallen unnoticed.“Trying to go commando now ahh?” Her eyebrows flew up in shock at what I had in my hand.  “EWW no...just..uh give me those!” She flew out of the bathroom and I couldn’t help but laugh, why was she so adorable? Being embarrassed about such things with me was pointless, I mean we grew up together. I climbed into the shower, and her flustered face played in my mind, and the way her hand left tingles where she touched me, her lips a few inches from mine…..and I didn’t take them in my own and devour her the way I wanted to. Unfortunately my shower ended cold. Like I had said, just thoughts of her were almost too much for me to handle. 

*10 Minutes Later*

We were waiting for Kat to come down to start the movie and the lovely couple took up the entire couch laying across one another. My poor best friend, he was whipped, losing this one was going to take a piece of him. I heard steps coming towards the living room and sure enough there stood Katie in a big over sized t-shirt and shorts, it didn’t matter what she wore, she always looked good. “Finally! Do you understand we could have all showered in the time it took for you to shower and get your butt down here? What took so long, girl?” Mo felt the need to speak what we were all thinking. Her face got a little red and I saw her glance at her a few times. Was I the reason she took so long? But why me? She just shrugged and sat on the other end of the chair from me. This chair being a love chair honestly didn’t have quite enough room for us to actually be apart, but nevertheless she scooted till she was satisfied. Alex played the movie and within 20 minutes Mo was asleep and Alex was carrying her to bed. He said he might come back down but we knew the truth was he wouldn't leave his precious angel alone. I could see Kat dozing off and decided I’d offer a shoulder. “ Do you want to lay on me instead of your hand?” Her eyes flew open but she kept looking ahead saying, “I’m fine. I’m not that tired anyway.” Something was off with her, normally she wouldn't have even answered me but instead just scoot closer and fall asleep after getting comfortable. “ what’s wrong Kat?” She said nothing but I knew her too well to believe something as little as nothing. “Why are you being distant all of a sudden?” She finally looked at me and said “I’m not being distant, I don’t know what you are referring to.” I reached out to her and grabbed her hand. She visibly stiffened and I could feel her pulse quickening. “ I don’t know what is wrong with you or what you’re thinking but I’m sorry about what happened in the bathroom earlier. You do know I was just playing around, right?” She just nodded her head slowly at me. “ Sooo….can I turn off this movie and have my cuddle buddy for a while before she goes to bed?” She smiled a little bit and crawled over to me, laying down next to me and grabbing the remote to turn off the tv. She turned around and I opened my arms, silently asking her to snuggle into my chest. As she got closer her body got stiff. “Just calm down Kat, I got you. With that she breathed out her stiffness and finally relaxed onto my arms. A smile spread across my face and I was glad it was so dark she couldn’t see me so happy with her being close. I squeezed her little body and in return she rapped her leg around my torso. Soon after I could feel her even breathing and lifted her off the chair we laid across. She wrapped her legs and arms around me like a child and I carried her to her room. Laying her down in bed was difficult but I managed. I was about to walk away when I felt something grab my forearm. I turned around to see Katie sitting up and looking anywhere but at me. She whispered “ Can you stay for awhile… maybe just sleep here tonight?” She said it so quietly I barely heard her. I nodded and sat down on the bed. She pulled the covers I had just put her under up, and I took it she wanted me to sleep under them with her. I pulled my shirt off, keeping the joggers and crawled in with her. She moved back a little and we shared a moment, laying in the almost completely dark room, staring at each other in a comfortable silence. Katie broke away first and her eyes looked down at my lips then back to my eyes. She smiled a sweet innocent smile at me and rolled over to her other side leaving me looking at her back. I didn’t like this and took a chance. I moved forward till my chest was against her back. I wrapped my arm around her finding her hand and grabbed hold of it. She squeezed my hand back and this made my smile grow. I rested my head in her neck and fell asleep with the one thing in the world that I  wanted so much but could not ever have. “My beautiful Katie...goodnight princess.” I fell asleep and I don't think I've ever slept happier.
