Age Is Only A Number!, chapter 7
It was the evening already and Katie was changing for hanging out with Tre, she had her clothes on and was doing her make-up. She had trouble covering up her bruise and black eye, sure it wasn't a date but she didn't want people staring at her, she covered up most of it but it was still kinda visible. She looked out her window for a minute, she could see Mike's house from where she lived, and she sat down on the window ledge and opened the window she decided to see what he was doing. He was playing bass without a top on; she had to admit he was pretty darn hot. She got her new camera for one of her art projects and took a picture, she wasn't being a paedophile, she decided to have Mike as her art project, her new camera was a professional one so she could zoom enough to get him fully in it, she took a couple and put her camera back down. Katie got off the window ledge and noticed there was a note in the tree by her room. Anyone who was friends with her knew that whenever she got grounded she climbed out the window and down the tree; they also knew that any private message they wanted to give to her without going through her parents had to go between the two tree branches nearest her room.
She picked the note up and recognised the handwriting but didn't exactly know who it was from. She opened it up and noticed by the name at the bottom it was Tre. The note read:
'Dear Katie,
Meet me by the beach as usual but wear good shoes, don't ask why though. Don't worry you'll enjoy it!
From
Tre Cool'
She was mystified by the note, she had no clue what was ahead of her, she had on at the moment some ballet pumps but she decided to change into her old black chucks. She tied the shoelaces and got a jacket on and went to the beach. She walked along the shoreline and let the wind go through her hair, she used to love the beach when she was younger and went on the small mountains all the time but didn't go anymore since she nearly broke her leg running after Mike when he decided to play a prank on her at the tender age of 8. She saw Tre in the distance and went up to him. She tapped him on the shoulder from behind. Tre turned around and smiled at Katie, he was so handsome to Katie, he was wearing a leather jacket over a white t-shirt, his hair was up in spikes and he had some corduroy trousers on. Tre was thinking the same about Katie; she was wearing her black trench-coat with badges on the lapel, she had a pale-blue t-shirt that only came up to her belly button under and some low-rise jeans. Tre started the conversation by saying "You came, I thought you wouldn't"
"I came, now tell me what are we doing that I had to wear my tattered shoes for" Katie asked
"Glad you asked come with me" Tre answered, he grabbed Katie's hand and ran across the beach, Katie wanted to know what was going on but the adrenaline rush had her so hard that she didn't care all she could do was run along and laugh while saying "Tre you're a crazy man"
Tre just replied laughing as well "As crazy as they can get"
Tre stopped a couple of minutes later in front of a couple small cliffs, Katie knew where they were, and they were at the place where she nearly broke her leg. She didn't care much just forgot how many times she had been there. Tre let go of her hand and started climbing the cliff. Katie just stopped and stared blankly at the rock in front of her. Tre saw her face and asked "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, just I used to come here as a child a lot" Katie answered, Tre held out his hand, the other one holding the rock and asked her "Do you trust me?" Katie didn't think and grabbed his hand, his eyes were mesmerizing to her, it was like she was under a spell and she didn't care much. She started climbing the cliff with Tre eventually letting go of his hand, she followed him up as he went onto a flat bit of the cliff, they were on the top but it wasn't a very big cliff though. Tre helped her up onto the flat plane of land, she sat down next to Tre.
They sat there for a minute or so just looking at the view, it was the perfect view, it was sunset and it made the town look beautiful, while Katie sat there looking at the view, Tre was looking at another beautiful sight and she was sitting right next to him. Katie noticed that Tre was staring at her and asked "Tre why are you looking at me?"
"Because you're beautiful" Tre answered simply. Katie turned her head towards Tre and noticed he was quite close to her; she replied by saying "Do you say that with every girl."
"Why did it work?" Tre whispered gently in her ear, in the rush of the moment Tre's lips connected with Katie's, she felt his tongue against hers and his hands running through her hair. They stopped his hands in her hair and her hands on his hips and she then answered "As a matter of fact it did."
They didn't let go, Tre moved his hands onto her curvy hips and they sat there for a moment, Katie smiled and Tre asked "Was that your first kiss?"
"No way, of course I've kissed before, but not in a while, see I haven't had a date in a while" Katie replied, Tre got what she was getting at and he went closer whispered into her ear "Well maybe there's something you haven't done on a date that we should do."
"Sure, go back to your place, mine has parents in it" Katie suggested
"Maybe your place, I feel a bit kinky" Tre huskily said
"No way, your place it is now lets go" Katie replied, standing up and helping Tre up, they climbed down the mountain and started walking to Tre's apartment, Tre had his arm around Katie and Katie had her hand in Tre's back pocket. People stared at them weirdly but they couldn't care less, they were having a great time and that's all that mattered.
They got to Tre's apartment, Tre was holding Katie's hand and was gently pulling her into the apartment, in there was Billie Joe and Mike. Tre noticed but didn't care much whatever was going on with Mike had to wait. Katie noticed the duo were there and felt she didn't belong, she looked around the place, it was old and dingy and in need of a cleaner but that wasn't it, it was the fact that Mike and Billie Joe were there and the act she was going to do with Tre that was bothering her. Mike looked up and saw Katie, he was so shocked, he knew what Tre would do to her and he just didn't want that happening to Katie. He looked back down into his drink and thought how such and idiot he was, he never realised his true feelings for Katie. He loved her, but she didn't love him anymore, he felt like kicking himself over and over again till he fell over. Tre waved at Billie Joe and Mike and said "Hey guys I'm back"
"Hey Tre... Why are you here Katie?" Billie Joe asked oblivious to everything going on, Katie answered by saying "I'm with Tre, we've been hanging out" she blushed; even Billie Joe knew they were on a date. He thought the same thing as Mike, he knew what they were about to do and he felt as angry at Tre as Mike did, but he decided it was Katie's life and it was her choices unlike Mike. Mike pretended to be reading a magazine and looked up and pretended just to notice Katie and Tre and said "Hey guys", he was Mike's face that did it for Katie, she felt guilty but it was her life. Tre replied to Mike by saying "Well me and Katie are just gonna be in my room okay." Mike nodded and Katie and Tre went into his bedroom.
As soon as the doors closed Katie took her jacket off and so did Tre, they flung it anywhere not caring where they went. Katie took her top off to reveal her bra, and Tre took his off. Tre started unbuttoning his trousers and they eventually came off while Katie and Tre were kissing, they fell on the bed. Katie opened her eyes for a second and realised what she was doing, and how stupid it was and how she was selling life short, she was only 17. She broke off from Tre but he was still in motion and so she tapped his cheek and he stopped. He was bewildered why she stopped, he was still going, in more places than one, he sat next to her whike she just stared at the floor, and he couldn't help but ask "What's wrong, I thought you wanted this?" She looked up at him, she felt guilty but she knew he'd understand and answered "I thought so to, can we still be friends"
"Sure, I understand don't worry" Tre replied, she picked up her shirt and he put his trousers back on. She picked her jacket up and left the room, she walked through the living room, and Mike and Billie Joe were still there. She stopped and looked into Mike's eye's she felt so stupid, they stood there for a moment and afterwards she kept walking like nothing happened. She put her jacket on outside and started walking home. It was then Tre came out putting his top on and Mike couldn't handle his rage, he stood up and punched Tre right in the eye.
