Her Dangerous Behavior

Chapter 8- Painted Lady

Kat's P.o.v

I sit at the edge of the bed,I feel like a hollow shell. My wet skin begins to shiver and I want to feel get dry but my body remains motionless.I replay what happened in the tub,him callinng my name, the splashing of the water on my back.His hot breath on my neck.My stomach wretches at the thought.I inch slowly towards the bathroom with my head down.I get the urge to hold my breath once I enter the room.I quickly grab David's shirt and run back to my bedroom.I pull his longsleeve over my head and dig in my drawer for a pair of underwear and throw on some pants and just grab a pair of shoes.

With my hair still dripping I head towards the door I stop to put on my jacket."Hey babe where you going, I thought we we're going spend the day toge.."But before he could finish his thought I slam the door behind and make my way across the driveway.I bang on his door,please be home, please be home.The door opens and the ocean washes over me instantly.I immediately run into his arms and he wraps his around me.

I can't help myself and I begin to sob openly into his chest "Katrina?Katrina what's wrong?" He gently squeezes me and pulls me in even closer.He kisses my the crown of my head and walks me towards the sofa never breaking our embrace.We sit and he let's me lean into him and just let's me cry as long as I need to without saying a word.Once I calm down I begin to fall asleep on his chest as he strokes my hair.

I wake up to the sound of his steady heartbeat "Katrina are you alright?"I'm unable to speak as if Ursula herself has stolen my voice."You don't have to tell me if you want to but just know you're safe here with me, and if I could help you let me please".I look up at him but I know if I tell him everything it would shatter everything, and right now I need his warmth."I just need you please canI stay here with you. Plea.. Please."I begin to cry again, he soothes me and wipes my tears away."You can stay here as long as you need Katrina".I begin to drift off to sleep again.

When I wake up I'm alone on the couch,I feel the warmth of a blanket on me and I smell something amazing. I sit up and notice a glass of water and some advil on the table.It makes me smile.I make my way towards the kitchen and watch him from behind as he places something in a pan.He turns to reach for something on the counter when he notices me.

"Good you're awake" He smiles at me and as I wall towards him I feel a sense of calm wash over me."How long was I out for?"He brushes my hair off my face and kisses my forehead "Only a few hours you looked like you needed to sleep, I didn't mind."I look over his shoulder to take a peak at what he was working on exactly.He rubs the back of his head "I thought you might be hungry so please take a seat dinner is almost ready"

I take a seat on the stool near the island and I continue to watch him.He begins to unconsciously hum as he cuts up some vegetables and ai can't help but laugh.He looks up from his cutting board "What's so funny Ms.Katrina?"I shake my head and try to hide my smile he comes over and kisses me on my cheek"Well whatever I did I'm glad, because I get to see you smile".Once he's done he sets a plate in front of me and I look up at him with complete amusement."Well you're in for a treat, not many get to try my specialty"

On my plate is a very fancy grilled cheese stuffed to the brim and grilled chicked and mushrooms.When I bite into it I sink into my chair.With my mouth completely full"Oh my god this is..."He laughs as he bites into his grilled cheese "You like?I'm glad you approve.If you're still hungry I have dessert later"I nearly lick my plate clean, I'm about to get up to wash my dishes when he instructs me to please relax and I do as he ask.He asks me if I'm still hungry and I embarrassingly nod my head yes.He smiles and tells me to close my eyes, I'm reluctant at first but again I do as I'm asked.

A few moments later he tells me to open my mouth and I'm met with the instant cold sensation on my lips.Then I'm overtaken by the taste of honey,vanilla and strawberry icecream.I begin to smile and he whispers "Can I kiss you,nothing more unless you want to"With the icecream still in my mouth I nod I try to swallow but it's too late.He takes my face in both hands and slowly kisses me.It's deep,gentle, and welcomed. His warmth begins to melt the icecream in my mouth and I let out a soft moan.I begin to feel dizzy.

I slowly break the kiss "I wa..I want to bu..but do you.Do you think we could just kiss for now?"He smiles at me the waves wash over me and I begin to relax in his arms "Of course.We don't have to do anything you don't wanna do.We can kiss for as long as you want or I could just hold you.You never have to do something you don't wanna do.You can always say no".His words give me comfort and I kiss him briefly and ask if we could lay down upstairs.He smiles and leads me upstairs to his room.I notice the curtains are drawn and it puts me at ease.I lay down and we get under the covers.I ask if I could stay here til morning and he tells me I can stay as long as I need to. I wrap myself in his arms and I can breathe, just breathe.
