A Night of Destiny??? (Re-Made and edited!), chapter 6
The next day I woke up by myself. Where was Tre? I then heard the shower going. He must have been in there. I got up and went down to the kitchen to get myself some breakfast. Meanwhile Tre got out of the shower while I waited downstairs.
***
Tre was pondering his bedroom. He paced up and down with his towel still around him. He hadn't bothered to change yet. He was thinking of something. He thought to himself, Do I ask her out? Nah I cant do that. Billie just cheated on her last night. I can't force her into another relationship like Billie did. I might wait...what do I do now? Tre thought in confusion. Grabbing the phone he rang Mike. A click was heard as a voice loomed down the receiving end. "Hey Mike!"
"Hey Tre! What happening dude?" Mike responded in a happy person voice like he had just had a coffee. Tre replied,
"Have you talked to Billie at all?"
"Nope why?" Mike asked in a confused tone.
"Well I got Kristie here with me..." Tre trailed off.
"Uhh why...did something happen? Is Billie hurt? Give me details."
"Yeah she was a mess when I came and got her. She ran to a park and called me so I picked her up. I think she is alright now."
"What? What happened?" Tre sighed running a hand through his wet hair.
"Plain and simple...Billie cheated on her."
"What? No way! Why would he? How could he? I swear, When I see him I am gonna..."
"Mike! Chill. I'm not even sure I was allowed to tell you that bit but I did."
"Okay...sorry about that little outburst," Mike apoligised.
"Yeah that's okay. She was heaps messed up last night. You'd think he learnt from last time with what he did to Adi?" Tre sighed.
"Mike I got problem." Mike spoke.
"Spill dude."
"I think I am falling in love with her!"
"You are? How?"
"Yeah. I don't know. Well to tell you the truth. When Billie met her that night I was kinda jealous." Mike chuckled.
"I know, you kept on staring at her all night. You were lucky you got that one dance with her. That was crazy that night."
"Did I?"
"Yep!"
"No I didn't!"
"Yes you did! So anyway sounds like you might be getting lucky!"
"Mike! Shut it!"
"Just kidding man."
"I know," Tre said changing the subject, "Hey can you come over here in a little while? And...bring Jason with you."
"Okay I will. See you soon. Wait...why do I bring Jason?"
"Coz I want you to come with me to go over to Billie's and get Kristie's stuff and I want someone to stay here with her while we go and get the stuff."
"Alright see ya man."
"Bye." Tre made his way down to the kitchen.
***
I was sitting there in the kitchen reading some newspaper left on the table from yesterday when I heard footsteps coming form the stairs. I drew my attention to them as they made their way to the kitchen revealing Tre in a bathrope. I wonder if he has anything on underneath it? "Hey there. How did you sleep?" he asked me as I was snapped out of my little daydream.
"Great! Errr did you know that you snore?" Great, I think I might now be known as little miss random. I am stupid! Tre just laughed.
"Well that was nice of you to say that." I laughed.
"Umm yep!" Tre continued.
"I just called Mike and he is coming here soon with Jason and then me and Mike are going to get your stuff while Jason stays here. Is that all right with you?"
"Oh that's really nice of you. I really don't want to see Billie anytime soon. So did you tell Mike what happened? I don't care if you did. I want him to know anyway."
"Actually yeah I did tell him what happened. I wasn't sure if you wanted him to know."
"Its all good." He nodded bobbing his head sitting down next to me in a near by available chair. He drew the chair closer to mine so we were less than a chair width apart.
"Whatcha reading?" I sighed.
"Nothing much, just yesterday's news I guess. I'm reading the sport coz well there is nothing else interesting in here..." Tre nodded and then changed the subject yet again.
"Hungry?!" he asked excitedly. I giggled.
"Yep, sure am!" He giggled back.
"Okay what would you like? Toast? Eggs? Coco pops? Bac..."
"COCO POPS!"
"Wow really? That's what I want to have. Nothing more better than chocolate to wake you up in the morning I say!" Tre grinned at me then proceeded to the cupboards pulling out 2 bowls and poured the coco pops into them. He poured milk into his bowl followed by a simple question. "You want to pour or shall I?" he asked me. So sweet!
"You can!" I told him. He nodded then poured milk into my bowl, handing me a spoon as he did. Soon sitting down there was silence other than our crunching on our coco pops.
"Yoeu knooo it is weally cold down 'ere!" Tre said with a mouthful of coco pops. I laughed. I too had a mouthful. I continued to laugh uncontrollably. Tre looked at me in amusement. I finally swallowed what I had and took a deep breath. He made me choke on my food!
"Tre you really know how to make someone laugh, don't you?" I gave him a little grin and nudged him.
"Sorry about that. But I am cold."
"Well change into something warmer. You have got undergarments on right?" Oops...me and my big mouth!
"Well actually...no I don't. Do you wanna see?" I continued to laugh softy so he couldn't hear me. Yes please!
"No thanks..."
"So you don't want to see my fine ass?"
"How fine is it?"
"Oh, fine as! You sure you don't want to see?" I nodded.
"As much as I would love to, I don't want to see your ass!" He looked confused.
"So you do want to see my ass?" He smiled with an evil grin. I nodded.
"That's right!"
"Right. When do you want to make it a date?"
"Whenever you want to..."
"How about now?"
"How about when I say?" I grinned this time.
"Your loss miss," he said with a mouthful of coco pops.
I sighed and snickered to myself before rolling my eyes. This was going to be fun living with him I thought for the time been. I had nowhere really to go. I'm not going back to Billie's. Every time I think about him now he makes me want to hurl. I should spit coco pops at him. I was laughing at the image I thought of in my mind spitting coco pops in his face. Then I thought about if Tre will keep me here with him. Will he let me stay for a long time or should I just catch a plane back to Australia and forget them all together pretending they were ever a part of my life? But I cant do that coz I like Tre...and mike. They are my mates now. I cant abandon that friendship. Shit I'm rambling in my mind again. Damn!
I have now finished my coco pops without knowing it. I dug for another spoonful realizing there is nothing left. Tre however is still eating. I'm freezing. I have nothing warm to wear! I start shivering.
"Are you okay? Want something warmer on? Come upstairs and get some clothes."
We leave our bowls on the table and head on upstairs. Once upstairs we head to Tre's bedroom. I sit on his bed while he looks through his rather large closest of clothes. He pulls out a large nice jumper and some warm pants, which look like tracksuit pants and throws them at me. "Put them on over your clothes. They will keep you extra warm. And in the meantime I will get dressed in the bathroom." Tre skipped out of the bedroom into the bathroom to get changed. I put the rather large clothes on that he threw at me and put them on. They were a bit daggy but I didn't care. I wanted to be warm. Moments later Tre appears from the bathroom looking all nice in some sweater and jeans.
"Aren't you cold in that?" I ask pointing to what he is wearing. It didn't look at all that warm. What I had on was much more warmer.
"Its cool. I'm tough. I can stand the cold." I laughed.
"Are you sure about that?"
"Yes I am! Why wouldn't I be?"
"Oh don't worry, its nothing," I snickered. Tre sits down to me on the bed.
"I'm sure its nothing," he whispers, then winks at me leaning on me almost making me fall to my side on the bed but I hold the two of us up.
"You're so annoying," I groaned and then nudged him in the side. His deep blue eyes looked into mine as he whined.
"Awww why?"
I didn't answer him. I didn't have a comeback. He was cracking me up. How could anyone resist this dude? The silence deepened as we sat there staring into space. I looked away from Tre and lay back down on my back. Tre still sat there. Turning to look at me he began to hover over me. His face studying mine, licking his lips in anticipation to say or do something. I looked up at him in amusement trying to figure him out. I reached out for his hands lingering my fingers with his, linking hands. Taking his eyes off of me he gasps very quietly hoping I will not hear him whilst looking at our intertwining hands. Leaning over me, his face comes into clear view looking down at me as he gets closer to my face. His nose managing to touch mine and just as his lips are about to claim mine...
'DING DONG!'. Someone rang the door bell. Tre grunted a little as our hands unclasped from one another and he got up off the bed.
"That should be Mike and Jason. Come on." He took me by the hand and we walked down the stairs together. 'DING DONG'. Rang the doorbell again.
"I want to answer it Tre!"
"No wait I'd better. It could be anyone."
"Alright we open it together. Will that make you happy?" I poked my tongue at him and then smiled. Tre looked in shock.
"Fine miss cheeky." And he laughed. We opened the door and both mike and Jason were there at the door.
"Hey guys!" I hugged both Mike and Jason.
"Well Mike I think we should go and get Kristie's things now. Jason can you please stay here and protect her with your life."
"Tre!" I nudged him in the arm.
"Okay, I am over exaggerating there a little bit. A tiny bit!" Mike headed to the car and I walked with Tre to the car. I hugged him.
"I'll be back!" he said in an Arnold voice. I laughed.
"You idiot!"
"Yes I am your idiot," he laughed out the window and he blew me a kiss. I caught it and blew him one back.
"Yeah you're my idiot," I yelled back at him. I laughed and then went back inside.
"What was all that about?" Jason asked me as I walked back into the house.
"Nothing," I blushed as I sat on the couch next to him.
"Didn't seem like nothing to me. Looks like a little bit of romance forming if you ask me." I laughed and shrugged him off.
"No way. What you mean?" I asked dumbly.
"I can see the chemistry between you two. It's cute. I have never seen Tre like this around a girl before. Not even his ex wifes or ex girlfriends and that is saying a lot."
"Oh okay. So how are you today?" I said changing the subject.
"I love it! You changed the subject. I am fine of course, but tell me do you like Tre? I wont tell him. I can keep secrets."
"Okay, but don't tell him." There was silence for about 20 minutes. Then...
"Well?" I laughed.
"Well what?"
"Do you like him?" Jason asked me once again.
"Yes, yes okay I do like him. And I don't care if you do tell him. I have liked him since I first met him but didn't have the guts to tell Billie. There, I spilled everything. Happy?" He is so irritating! He laughed.
"Yes...now I am ringing him and telling him!"
"Fine but I think he already knows!" And I wrestled him for the phone. But he was too strong. He ran out of the room and up the stairs. I was about to chase him up the stairs when the door opened. Tre and Mike walked in the door with my stuff.
"Jason you can come back down here now. They are back," I yelled. I ran to Tre and Mike. Tre gave me a kiss on the cheek and I hugged him.
"Love is in the air!" cooed Jason from the top of the stairs.
"Shut up Jason!" I yelled back to him.
"Looks like someone is a bit feisty," said Mike smiling.
"So you got my stuff without trouble I take it?" I asked the both of them. Mike answered,
"Well Billie put up a bit of a fight. He thinks you are with me or Jason."
"What a loser," I remarked. Tre interjected.
"Yeah he is still a good guy but I cant believe he did this twice."
"Twice?" I questioned them with disbelief. He did this twice? How? When? Why didn't anybody tell me?
"Oh he cheated on Adrienne as well. That's why they divorced," replied Mike.
"This is crazy," I said as I threw my arms in the air frustrated. "He has done it before? For fuck sakes. Why didn't I know he was a cheater from the start? I knew something was up. I had my doubts."
Mike, Tre and Jason all stared at me with great concern. Jason was still up the top of the stairs and came back down very slowly. Tre came toward me taking small steps, finally reaching me extending his arms out to hug me. I accepted and cried silently onto his shoulder sinking into his safe embrace.
"Shhhh," he hushed me gently kissing me on the forehead. Mike came over and tapped Tre on the shoulder and quietly told him,
"I think its best we leave you two for some alone time." He winked at Tre, then signalled for Jason to come at his command and out of the house they went closing the door quietly behind them.
So there we were, standing at the doorway at the bottom of the stairs. Tre and I embraced in a hug together, me crying into him. Tres thumb gently wiped my tears away as his other hand cupped my chin so I could look into his eyes. I was caught in the moment. This was a perfect moment. Leaning a little forward I think he got the hint as he looked into my eyes once biting his bottom lip and running a hand through my hair. I wanted this perfect moment to last forever. I looked at him leaning in even closer than before. He knew what I wanted as his lips finally meet mine...
