Chapter 3 Three

Edited

"Oh. Hey." Kara said like she was forced to talk.

What's going on?

"Hey," Connor replied. "Uh, I have to go now. I'll see you later, May." He waved goodbye before entering his car.

Kara pulled me inside the house and released a breath. "I have everything ready but you have to shower and change into one of my tops and joggers, okay?" She continued as if nothing just happened.

"Yeah, sure." I nodded and went upstairs.

Her parents are in France on a vacation for now. They don't have her time for her just like how my parents don't have time for me.

Kara

I saw Connor with May. Why did he bring her?

"Oh. Hey." I greeted half-heartedly. My smile faded. He looked at me with a sad expression. I feel so guilty now. I won't deny that I miss him.

I don't know why I did what I did. I wish I hadn't because I really miss him even though I won't admit it. At least not for now.

"Hey," he replied.

The images started coming back. Us...together. I shook my head. He entered his car while I pulled May in and told her what to do. Suddenly, I heard the doorbell ring.

"Oh, pizza's here!" I said to no one.

I opened the door, ready to greet the delivery guy. But...no. No, no, no. Not now. Not now, please. Conner. I thought he left?

"Yeah, I wanted to but my car broke down." He scratched his neck sheepishly. Oops, I said it out loud.

"Oh." I swallowed, heat creeping up my neck.

"Are you going to let me in? It's already starting to rain. My clothes are wet and it's cold, so..."

"Y-yeah, sure. Sorry." I moved out of the way to let him in.

"I'll get you a towel and a shirt. The guest room is empty. You can stay if you want."

"Okay." He left.

I went to bring one of his shirts from my wardrobe and his joggers. Oh, and a towel. Don't ask me why I had his shirt.

I knocked on the door.

"I'm coming!" I heard his voice from the other side of the door. That dreamy voice always sweeps me off my feet. The door opened to reveal a shirtless Connor. Totally not what I was expecting. I froze and stared at him.

"The towel." He smirked. He had caught me staring at him. This is harder than I thought. I blush, embarrassed.

"Sorry." I coughed awkwardly and smiled in humiliation. I handed him the towel, joggers, and the shirt.

"You still have this?" He looked surprised and glad.

"Act-"

I was cut off when May called me. "Sorry, I have to go."

"Okay." He was about to close the door but continued, "Oh, and Kara. Thanks for allowing me to stay." He grinned.

"No problem," I said and left. I went to find May in the living room.

"Connor's here," I announced as I entered the room. She gave me a questioning look.

"Yeah, his car broke down so..." I answered her unasked question.

"Oh."

I went to get the popcorn while May was inserting the movie disk. We both sat down on the floor as the movie started.

Connor came out of the room. "Twilight?" he asked.

May and I turned to look at him. "Yes. It was Kara's idea." She shrugged. He looked at me and smirked. We continued watching the movie.

A few minutes later, the doorbell sounded again.

"I'll get it." I stood up. I opened the door.

"Hey," I said to the pizza guy. He was actually cute in a way. He had blue eyes and black hair. He was kinda small which made him look cute.

"Evening." He smirked and handed me the pizza.

I was about to pay before he said, "You're beautiful."

"Thanks," I replied politely.

"Can I have your number?" he asked.

That wouldn't do any harm. I was about to give it to him when Conner leaned on the wall behind me.

"The only thing you'll get from here is your ass being kicked out," Conner gave an evil grin. The pizza guy looked pretty scared.

"Who are you? Her big brother?" He said, trying to play it cool. Connor stepped in front of me, so he was facing him directly.

"Hell, no! I'm her boyfriend so get your ass out of here before I do it myself." He said angrily, in a dangerous tone. To be honest, Connor could definitely beat him up because he was more physically built.

"I would like to watch you do that," the pizza guy challenged. Oh, no. This won't end well. I decided to resolve the situation. I moved closer to Connor and placed my hand on his chest.

"Connor, it's fine. He just wants my number. There is no harm in it," I said as calmly as I could. I was really angry but I don't want this to escalate any further.

"Wow. You need your boyfriend's permission to go out with someone else. Pathetic," he mocked. Connor moved me aside.

"That's it. I will not have you talking to my girl like that."

Conner pulled him by his collar and punched him in the nose. I'm sure he broke it. The pizza guy punched him in his stomach. That did more damage to him than it did to Connor. Connor angrily pushed him on the floor and continuously punched him.

"Stay. Away. From. My. Girlfriend." He said each word between punches.

"Stop!" I shouted. Connor stood up immediately giving the pizza guy the chance to run away. When the pizza guy left I turned to Connor angrily. I should be happy he stood up for me but I don't want him thinking things would change between us.

"Why did you do that?" I asked angrily.

"Because I needed to." He shrugged like he didn't just almost kill someone.

"You don't need to. You're no longer my boyfriend." I fumed.

"Kara..."

"Don't say my name and don't interfere with my business. I don't need your help."

"I still love you. Nothing will ever change that," he admitted.

I really wanted to turn around and kiss him, to tell him how much I loved him too. "Just leave me be," I left him standing at the entrance. I took the pizza to my room.

"What took you so long?" May

asked.

"Nothing. Let's keep watching the movie," I said, faking a smile. I think May needs to know but I can't tell her now.

I kinda felt bad for snapping at him. I remembered when Connor and I just started dating and caught a boy trying to hit on me, he beat the living shit out of that boy.
