I can't help loving you

“Hey Kevin,” Kate said coming up from behind me.

She slowed down once she saw Chris. “Sorry, I’ll let you guys talk,” she said. her cheeks were a light pink. I loved that about her. You could always tell what she was thinking, or how she felt.

“Oh, it’s okay. What’s your name cutie?” Chris asked. Kate looked so shy and helpless.

“K-”

“Chris, let’s not bother her. Did you want to talk to me about something Chris?” I changed the subject. His eyes didn’t leave Kate for a single moment though, and he stepped closer to her.

“Let’s talk later about that-what’s your name sweetie?” he asked again.

“Kate,” she told him. He make an evil smile and put his arm around her shoulder.

“My, my, Kate is it? Would you like to join little Kevin and I to a party we’re going to?” he asked looking at me instead of Kate. I glared at him as Kate answered, “Um, okay.”

Chris’s smile grew and he finally looked back down at Kate. “I’m so glad you said yes.”

Kate just stood there, too shy to talk. Chris finally took his hand off her and walked up to me. “Make sure to get her a pretty dress.” He smirked and walked away. I clutched my fists. I really did hate Chris.
