You Can Tell Me Anything, chapter 17
*Still Tre's POV*
Mike and I sat in silence for the next few minutes so Kat could get some much needed rest. She didn't sleep long though, only about 10 minutes. She sat up and rubbed her eyes.
"Mike?"
"Yeah Kat?"
"Are we still going out to dinner?"
"Haha sure. Whatever you want."
"Ok then, turn here."
Mike turned and pulled into an old mom and pop looking place. It was really cool in side though. We got out of the car and I wrapped my arms around Kats waist was we walked in and sat down in a small booth. Mike sat on one side and Kat and I sat on the other. We ordered some food and talked about everything. While we where waiting for our food Kat laid her head down on my shoulder and listened to Mike and I talk about the new house. It sounds so awesome. Mike told me that Kat and I got the biggest room. Billie is across the hall and Mike is next to the left. I asked what the rooms looked like.
"Well our room is painted red with a black stripe across the middle." Kat said with her head still on my shoulder.
"That hot." I said with a smile.
"Yeah it looks sick." Mike added.
"Billie'sroom is painted dark blue and Mike'sis green."
"Cool."
"Yeah and it took forever!" Mike said sounding like a five year old.
We all started laughing but at the same moment thought of Billie.
"Does anyone else feel bad?" Kat asked.
"About what?" Mike asked.
"You know what!"
"No I really don't Kat."
"Billie! Do you feel bad that we're out here having fun while Billie Joe is locked up in rehab!"
She stomped her foot under the table and sat up pulling herself from my arms.
"Kat... You have to understand he put himself there. He wouldn't have gone if he didn't want to."
"That doesn't mean it's fair!"
After that the two of them didn't talk to for the rest of the meal. Kat never did let me wrap my arms around he again. Every time I tried she'd just pull away for act like she didn't notice. I can understand what she's thinking. I mean it really doesn't seem fair that we're all so happy and Billie is still in rehab. Mike has a point too, Billie won't have gone if he didn't want to. I'm not going to say anything about it though. I'm just so happy to be here with my best friend and my girlfriend. I couldn't stop smiling and I knew it wouldn't be long until that fight was in the past. It turned out I was right. After about 15 minutes for not talking they both calmed down and we all started talking again. Kat leaned in to me and I took her hand. I really didn't notice how much I truly love her until I had to be away for so long. We finished eating and Mike drove home. I have to say I was totally surprised by how beautiful the house really is. You can see all the hard work Mike and Kat but into it. They walked me through everything room by room. We got to the second floor and they showed me the bathroom and Mike and Billie'srooms. When we got to mine and Kats room Mike said he was going to the store and he'd be back in a while. I smiled and he left.
"Are you ready for this Tre?"
"Yesssssssss!"
"Are you sure?"
"Open the door!"
"Ok."
She pushed open the door and stood aside so I could see. I couldn't move. First of all it was huge. Second of all it was really beautiful. And last of all there where pictures of us with Mike and Billie all over the walls. I walked inside and just stared at everything. Kat shut the door and was standing beside me. I looked over and wrapped my arms around her.
"Do you like it?"
"Yes, I love it."
"Good."
"You wanna know what the only thing that got me through rehab was?"
"Sure."
"You."
Tears started swelling in her eyes again. I pulled her close and let her cry into my shirt.
"Really?" Her voice was really muffled because her head was still buried in my chest.
"Yes. I missed you. I missed being able to hold you."
"I missed you too."
"You want to know what else I missed?"
"What?"
"Being able to do this."
With that I picked her up by the waist and slammed her again the wall. She smiled and put her legs around my waist just as she had eailer. I wasn't going to kiss her. Not yet anyhow. I was enjoying holding her. I pressed her a little harder agaist the wall so I could get a better hold on her. She let out a small moan. I smile. I just sat there looking at her for a few minutes before I decided to let her down. I moved back a little and she slide down the wall so she could stand. My arms stayed around her waist and she never moved her hands from my neck.
"You are amazing Kat."
"No I'm not."
"Yes you are."
She just smile and laid her head down on my chest.
"I love you."
I broke into a grin. If there was ever a moment to do what I was about to do it was now.
