Always Been You

Weeks ago he wanted nothing to do with her. Didn’t even want to talk about her. Didn’t want to feel anything for her.

But right now the only thing he wanted to feel right now were the tantalizing curves of Katherine’s body. He wanted to grab her and kiss her all over again. Finish what they started that morning. Take off her clothes and thrust deep and hard inside her, leaving his mark on her forever.

He shook his head.

That was a bad idea. And he needed something to occupy his thoughts other than musing about what kind of underwear she was wearing under her clothes.Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

Her voice interrupted his thoughts.

“Mmm?” he questioned. He looked up and stared at her, thinking how soft and kissable her lips looked.

“I asked if you would like to stay for dinner?” she asked him.

“No.. No” he replied hastily. “Actually I think I should better get going”

“Oh really” she asked.

“Yeah. I have to go see Elaine anyways.” Jensen said.

Katherine nodded. “Well, I really appreciate your help today, Jensen. Thank you so much… If there’s anything I can do for you.. Just let me know… I owe you”

“You are welcome, Kitty,” he said.

A part of her wished maybe he would want to talk about the amazing kiss they had shared that morning. She didn’t know why she even wanted to. She was definitely crazy.

But it was clear from the way he turned around and left that she was the only one who was affected by the kiss. It was Jensen… The man always had a way with women… Of course he wouldn’t be affected.

Maybe it was all for the best. She thought as she returned her attention to the box.

“Damn,” Jensen said as he relaxed on one of Jonathan’s couches to enjoy his beer.

He had come over to Jonathan’s house to hang out and they had spent the day playing video games.

Tim was also there when he came, they had played catch together and some video games too. But Tim was asleep now after wearing himself out.

Jensen was tired too.

“Damn” he said to Jonathan who sat opposite him. “That kid has a lot of energy”

Jonathan laughed. “Yeah he does. Talks a lot too. But he’s a good kid. Makes Kathy very happy. She loves him so much, seriously she’s ready to have the head of any one who would try to hurt him”

“Yeah I can see that. I would be very protective too if I had a kid”. Jensen said, then he added. “You never told me about him”.

“Hey, I wanted to, man. But you didn’t want to hear anything… It was kinda the same for her too. I didn’t want to bother you. I figured it was better you guys figured things out on your own.. In your own way”

Jensen sighed and Jonathan continued. “And speaking of Kathy, what is happening between you two?” he asked.

Jensen stared at him. “I don’t understand why you would ask that,” he said.

“Hey” Jonathan said. “I’m talking about when we helped Kathy move. You guys were alone and when she came to the door to let us in, her face was all red and weird. You were nowhere to be found and then minutes later you appeared. Look, I’m not trying to be intrusive. Kathy is a grown woman. She can take care of herself. But I am just looking out for my sister… And for you too. Believe it or not. Whatever happens, I don’t want to see either of you hurt”

“Relax man”. Jensen said. “I’m not going to hurt her. It’s the last thing I intend to do.. And nothing is happening… I mean… I don’t know if there is”

“Well figure it out quickly” Jonathan said. “You are my best friend, and I trust you. If there is any one I want with my sister, it’s you. That is all I’m going to say. I don’t need to hear any more details of what you both are up to”

Jensen laughed. “Fine. I won’t bore you with the details… not that there are any. How are the wedding plans going?” he asked.

“Oh.. It’s fine”. Jonathan replied. “Kate is handling most of it though. Planning a wedding is not really my thing you know”.

“Yeah,” Jensen said, smiling. “Actually, planning has never been your thing”.

Jonathan laughed. “My family would strongly disagree with you man”

“Mom… Mom…” Tim’s excitement penetrated the violet sprigged sheet covering Katherine’s head.

“Wake up” He said. “I know it’s Saturday, but you have slept enough… Jeez”. He pulled the sheet away from her face, and Katherine forced open one heavy lid.

Her son’s face lowered to hers, his eyes bright and eager. Milk mustached his upper lip, and dark curls tumbled down over the freckles on his forehead.

When she moaned a protest, he said, “I have been to grandma’s already this morning, you know. I rode my bike”

“Tim,” Katherine said. “You know I need my rest, right?. I had to work all week”

“And I go to school all week too. That’s work too if you ask me” Tim replied.

“Yeah…. yeah” Kathrine said. “Not really… At least not like mine”

She touched the vermilion superman logo across the boy’s chest. “What are you going to do today, Tim?” she asked.

“Mow grandma’s yard with grandpa” he replied. “Grandma even said she would pay me. Then me and Jerry and some other guys are going to ride our bikes to the ball field and practice”

Katherine tugged her son’s dark curls. “You might run the lawn mower around our yard too… With my help of course” she said. “Our grass is kinda long.”

Tim frowned. “I need to rest, mom.. I will be too tired to play” he said. Then his face lit up. “Will I be getting paid?” he asked.

“Hey” Katherine said. “You don’t have to request a payment whenever you are asked to do something. I didn’t raise you that way”

“I know. I’m sorry mom”. Tim said. Then he added, “Fine… I will take care of it”

“And I will pay this time”. Katherine said smiling. “But don’t get used to this”.

“Yaay,” Tim said, hugging her. “Thanks mom, you are the best”

“I know,” Katherine said smiling.

Tim bounded out of the room, and minutes later, Katherine heard the TV come on.
