Chapter Thirty-One (31)

"You talk way too much. I'm planning on going to Starbucks to heat off, you coming?" he asked.

I nodded and Keith sat up to look if the coast was clear, I joined him, everyone was throwing snowballs and running around still. Very quietly, Keith held my hand and crawled out to the entrance of the park. "Where's your car?" I said, standing up to look for a gray car. 

"It's parked about two blocks away."

"Why?"

"There are no parkings when it snows."

"I'll stand here, you can go get it."

Keith sighed in exasperation and walked away from me and up the street. I sat on the bench positioned in front of the park gates and picked up my feet so my knees were tucked under my chin. "So, you and Keith?" I heard a voice say behind me bitterly, "You were gone and Johnathan said you went back here. You guys should really work on 'sneaking away.'" 

I turned around to face Daniel, he didn't look happy. Saying he was pissed would probably be the understatement of the year. "Hi," I smiled waving. Of course he didn't return it.

"You know this just proves my point that you were cheating on me?" he said matter-of-factly.

"No it doesn't. I never cheated on you Daniel."

"That explains why Olivia caught you on a date with Keith. Now, a month or so later you're sneaking out with him."

"Ok, now you're pissing me off. If anybody was cheating in this relationship it was you and Olivia. I tried telling you time and time again that I was forced to go with Keith--"

"Yeah, right."

"Daniel. SHUT THE HELL UP AND LISTEN TO ME FOR ONCE." His mouth closed and he looked at me with questionable eyes.

"The day Olivia left to visit her family Catherine came over to persuade me to go to this party with her. I did, and she gave me a drink; it was beer and I got piss drunk. I don't remember anything after that but I woke up to Keith next to me--I'm pretty sure we did nothing we both had clothes on. I was kicking him out when he told me that last night in my drunken state I kissed him.

"At first, I didn't believe him and told him he had no proof so then he kissed me and took a picture and threatened to show you. I was freaking out since you were the first guy I actually liked and seeing this Keith said if I didn't want you to find out I'd go on a date. That's when Olivia popped up." I said telling him the entire story. A look of regret flashed through his face.

"Why didn't you tell me?" he asked.

"AS IF I DIDN'T TRY!" I said irritated.

"No, I mean when he snapped the picture." 

"Call me crazy, but you taking a month to understand this, I don't think that would've made a difference."

After that word Keith's car rolled up and he honked his wheel, looking at both Daniel and I curiously. I waited a few seconds for Daniel's reply, when he said nothing I sighed and walked toward the heated car. Outside the window, Daniel was still staring inside the car at us. "What just happened?" Keith asked pulling out and trying to keep his eyes at the road and also at me.

"Nothing, I'm turning on the radio." I grumbled turning the knob on the volume to drown out words

"Keith! Stop that!" I screeched attempting to run in the thick pile of snow with the coffee. I had just stole Keith's phone since he was spending too much time on it and put it down my shirt thinking Keith wouldn't try to get it back. He was still trying.

"Then give me the phone or I'll get it myself," he said hot on my trail. I was about to make a turn when my boot got trapped in the snow bank and I fell flat on my butt. To my dismay Keith caught up with me.

"So, are you going to hand it over? I have no problem reaching down your shirt and getting it." he said standing over me. Grumbling, I took out his phone and handed it over to Keith. In return, he extended his hand so I could get up. 

Said I don't want to walk this Earth,

If I gotta do it Solo,

See now we used to be a team,

Running the streets,

Yeah,

We was living amongst our dreams,

Whoa,

So we was like the dynamic duo

My phone sang signalling a text message. I took off out my phone and tapped the "Read New Message" option.

Game ended just now. ur still nt here, where r u? -Emma

just left starbucks :D -Alex

R u w/ keith? he isnt here either... -Emma

BYE EM! <3 u -Alex

"Says the girl who said I'm the phone too much." Keith commented.

"Emma said the game ended and they're wondering where we are now," I said ignoring his previous comment and brushing off the snow that was starting to freeze my ass.

"Instead of going back to the boring park I have a better idea we can do," he said, tapping on his chin and taking one step in my personal space. Now I felt like a midget, you see Keith was 6'2 and I was 5'5 so you clearly see why I felt like a midget. Without another word Keith tilted my chin up and I was floating to Cloud 9. You see, if this was a movie you'd have this narrator (me) tell you how my life was magically resolved after that.

But this isn't a movie was it?
