"Why to us, Mike?" "I don't know Bill, I just hope they're not gonna find out", chapter 3
-KATY'S POV-
I didn't realize immediately that I was coming closer to him but when our noses nearly touched I thought: 'Oh my god! I'm 15, he's 33, he's got a daughter and he doesn't even know me! Fuck, I shouldn't kiss him! '.
I suddenly remembered we weren't alone in the room because of Tre.
"Sorry guys" he said " could you please get a room?".
Shit! I turned around, walked through the room, sat down on a chair, looked at Tre and told him:
"Tre! How could we? Come on! He doesn't even know me and..." someone cut me in.
"Yes, it's true, but you're pretty!".
I looked in the direction the voice came from. There was Mike. When I looked at him he shut his mouth with a hand and blushed.
"Hey Mike, what's up? You never blush". A huge smile could be seen on Tre's face.
"Oh Tre! Shut up, and stop laughing," Mike said, obviously nervous, "what's funny?".
I was looking from Tre to Mike and viceversa.
"Well, I was saying, Tre," I continued, trying to remember what I was saying "that he doesn't even know me and I'm 15 and he's 33 and could you please stop laughing?". Tre was laughing his ass off.
"Sorry Katy but... Look at Jason!"
-MIKE'S POV-
Damn. Why Tre always have to ruin every good moment? Wait... WHAT? Kissing a teenager is a good moment?
I was feeling so weird. I couldn't fell in love with a teenie, I just couldn't! But yet... She was really pretty, I mean what I say!
Why Tre and Katy were laughing? They were looking at someone behind me so I turned around and I bursted out laughing my ass off, I couldn't even breath.
Jason was wearing one of the hats we use when we perform 'King for a day', Billie's red and black socks instead of gloves, the blue jacket I used in the 'Walking contradiction' video upside down and he was dancing like a monkey on the couch, singing like a chicken, desperately trying not to fall off of the couch.
I walked out of the room, I was gonna die of laughter. Once I was out I decided to have some coffee, so I went to the kitchen and I found Adrienne.
"Hey Adie! Whatcha doin still here?"
"Uhm... Well..." she tried to say "I... Nothing..." she was looking weird, but I didn't really care.
"Ok, if you say so..." Since that I my thoughts were mostly on Katy, I didn't ask. "Can you pass me some coffee please?"
"Sure, here you are." She passed me the coffee, and she looked at me with a kinda weird expression on her face. "So..." oh God, I knew what she was going to ask me "do you like Katy?" right, that was the weird expression.
I didn't say anything.
"So?"
"Well... I don't know (Mike's heart: come on! Yes Mike, you like her a lot! )."
Inside me there was a war, between heart and brain. "I really don't know how to feel. It's like... (it's like love? ) I want to stay with her but, I mean... She's 15... (who cares about the age! Mike, come on, you know you like her! ) and, damn, I just know her name and age and nothing else..."
She looked at me in a way that said 'Nah, you like her, I can tell by the look on your face', it seems like it was written straight on my face.
"I suppose that was a 'yes, I think she's nice'?" I knew she knew.
"Well... (come on Mike! Don't deny it! )".
I blushed. But she saw it.
"Mike do you what I think?"
"What do you think Adie?"
"I think this kinda things are called 'love at first sight'."
I blushed...
-KATY'S POV-
I was still laughing at the sight of Jason. I decided to have some coffee so at least I would've stop laughing. I walked out the room and I headed to the kitchen, following the smell of the coffee. I heard someone talking inside. It was Adie.
"Mike, do you what I think?"
I stopped behind the door. I didn't want to listen but I couldn't move, something forced me to stay there, still, and listening.
"What do you think Adie?"
It was Mike.
"I think this kinda things are called 'love at first sight'".
My heart gave a huge jump. Did I hear exactly 'love at first sight'? I saw Mike blushed. He spoke:
"Bloody hell, Adie! She's just 15, I really don't know. If she was just a few years older..." but she cut in.
"I didn't know age mattered that much to you." She raised an eyebrow. "Come on, look at her, she clearly likes you, you can't deny it." Hey, was that really so clear?
"What should I do?" I heard Mike asking Adrienne, and the immediate reply.
"How do you feel about her?" There was a pause.
"Why do you answer with another question?". He asked.
"What's this question for?" She asked too.
"Never mind..."
"So... How do you feel about her?" no, no, no, I can't hear this, I just can't. "Tell me, I promise I won't tell anyone".
"Well..."
I couldn't stand to hear more. I entered the room quietly, pretending I didn't hear a thing, but unfortunately, while I was walking in, Mike was still speaking.
"... I think I like her..."
I blushed. Adie saw me. Shit. She mouthed to me 'go on'. How did she know?
I asked Mike (still pretending to know nothing):
"Who do you like Mike?"
"Come on, Mike, tell her." Adie said, smiling at me, while I blushed even more.
"... I.. Don't think it's a good idea" he replied, sightly red in the cheeks.
"Why not?" I asked, grinning secretly to myself.
Adie stood up. "Excuse me guys, I've got to have a word with Tre, see ya." and she left us alone.
I put some coffee in a cup, sat down on the couch and, looking at Mike, I asked:
"Why don't you want to tell me?"
"Ok, I'll tell you..." My heart started beating really fast.
"Ok, ya know, I'm a very curious girl." What the hell, what a stupid thing to say, right that moment. "Come here, sit down"
"Ok... This girl... Is... She's... She's" he stuttered "beautiful... She can play the guitar in an awesome way... And she's a great singer."
My heart was beating faster than ever. God! Mike Dirnt liked me out of all the girls on the planet! Wait... Did he really like me?
"But there's a huge problem... She's a teenie..."
He looked so sad... I knew he would've done anything, he wanted to just hide his feelings. I didn't know how I knew that, I just did.
"But do you really like her? If you like her, age doesn't matter" I said, hopefully.
But then somethin forced me to stand up, and head to the door. My brain was telling me to go away. He stood up too.
"Yes... Yes I like yo- I mean, her..."
I stopped right were I was. I turned around, just to see Mike grabbing my hand, to stop me going away.
"Wh-what did you say?"
"I - you heard me, didn't you?" We both blushed.
"Well... Maybe I didn't hear well, you know..."
He was looking at me in the eyes. I stared into those gorgeous blue eyes. I couldn't think, my heart was beating to fast, my legs were trembling.
I thought 'God... I love him so much... '
Then suddenly, without me expecting it, he came closer and what he did after that was unforgivable.
He leaned in and slowly, softly kissed me on the lips.
It was a light kiss, really, but full of wonderful feelings. It lasted less than a second, although it seemed to last forever.
When we broke apart we looked at each other, not knowing what to do or say.
Then he broke the silence. "Sorry...", he walked past me, and ran outside.
I stood there, not knowing what to think. I started crying, for no reason at all.
Was he feeling the same way I was feeling?
I didn't realize immediately that I was coming closer to him but when our noses nearly touched I thought: 'Oh my god! I'm 15, he's 33, he's got a daughter and he doesn't even know me! Fuck, I shouldn't kiss him! '.
