Double Trouble

Chapter 20: I'm Sorry...

Natalia had just gotten home after taking the school bus. Juliet had offered her a ride back with her brothers but Natalia was still mad at them. They had tried talking to her and even apologize but she just ignored them. She knew they would continue to act like immature little boys.

Walking up her driveway, she hadn't noticed the car parked in front of her house or the person sitting in the porch swing waiting for her.

Going up the steps she stopped on the last one to just glance at them without a word. Shaking her head she walks to the front door with key in hand and put it in the key hole. Turning it she then pushed it open and turned around feeling that presence behind her.

"Why are you here?" looking him straight in the eye.

"Can we talk?" he asked staring at her. His beautiful eyes pleaded towards her.

"Now you want to talk? It's been two days. Your actions showed plenty after dessert and on the drive home. I don't know what you could possibly say now that will..."

"I'm so sorry Preciosa." jumping in the middle of her sentence.

"Ken-" she began to say but he again cut her off.

"Look, I know you don't believe me and trust me, I completely understand. But please, give me a chance to explain myself. If you don't want to believe me, then I will go and we can at least be friends...only if I am worthy of your friendship." his words came in a hurry causing Natalia to hesitate.

"I don't know Kennedy." shaking her head.

"Please Natalia...we could stay outside if you want. I promise I won't do anything to make you feel uncomfortable." pleading again with his hypnotizing eyes.

Thinking about it for a few seconds she sighed. "Fine, we can talk outside."

Dropping her bag inside, she takes the keys out shutting the door behind her. Passing him she then walks over to the swing and sits down.

"Alright, talk." sitting back on the swing to listen to his "explanation".

Kennedy nodded his head and began to speak. "Look, I need to first tell you that I really really like you. That's the reason I asked you out. Second, I am very very sorry for going overboard when I kissed you. I was completely out of line and I shouldn't had tried to push our kiss to anything more. Third, I need you to know that I was disappointed...but not at you, only at myself. Disappointed and mad that I let my want for you cloud my senses causing you to feel uncomfortable. I wanted our first date to be memorable but not like it ended. And fourth..." taking a step closer to her, he kneels down taking her hand in his.

"...the reason why I left you on the deck and then took you home was because I was ashamed for the way I acted. I felt horrible and didn't mean to disrespect you Natalia. I don't want you thinking that the only thing I want from you is sex. Last week when we hung out and got to know you meant a lot. I still want to get to know you better and I'm hoping I still can. Can you please give me another chance?" he asked looking into her uncertained eyes.

"So, you are telling me that the reason you didn't say anything and didn't call me after our date was because you were upset at yourself?" asking confused.

"Yes and because I had to go out of town with my parents. My grandfather had a heart attack so we went to see him in San Francisco. I wanted to text or call you when I got home and even come by Sunday to apologize but I didn't get a chance. When I dropped you off my mom called to tell me what happened so I rushed home so we can make it to the hospital...we just got back two hours ago. I came over here so I can tell you in person. I also didn't think a text would be right after what happened. I needed to apologize in person and see your beautiful face." he tells her cupping the side of her face.

"I'm sorry to hear about your grandfather. Is he alright?"

Kennedy nodded his head as he stood up sitting next to her on the swing. "He should be. It was mild but they are keeping him for observation. My mom stayed back with my grandmother since it's her parents. My dad and sister came back because we have school tomorrow, the reason why I wasn't there today. Unless you didn't notice."

"I did notice."

"Did you...miss me?"

Natalia stood up, her back away from him. "I was mad Kennedy and confused about the way you acted. I thought you were mad because I stopped you. Then you didn't call or text me yesterday...what was I supposed to think?"

Standing up he stood behind her. "...that I was acting like a complete douche."

"Exactly a complete douche." she tells him turning around. "You made me feel bad. But I wasn't going to beat myself over it. I stopped you because I am not the type of girl who just gives herself to any guy who takes her on a yacht on the first date. If you want a girl like that, then go find yourself one." side stepping him to head towards the door.

"Natalia wait...please." grabbing her hand to stop her.

"What Kennedy?" snatching her hand back.

"I don't think you are that kind of girl Natalia. I'm not going to deny my attraction for you or that I like you...or the fact that I want you to be my girlfriend."

Natalia was taken back from his words. "You want me to be your what?"

Taking both of her hands he kissed them. "Natalia Cruz, would you be my girlfriend?"

Hello guys, hope you are all doing well. I have been busy so I haven't had a chance to update. This is a filler chapter and I hope you like it.

What do you think about Kennedy's explanation to Natalia? Did he mean it and/or will Natalia believe and forgive him. Will she say yes to being his girlfriend?

I will try to update again when I get a chance. Have a great week and Summer.
