the darkest hour
part #12
i finally controlled myself, and started my car. i pulled out of the hospital parking lot, and started driving. i was going just home. i needed time to think. there was a basketball game tonight, and i was thinking about going. i'd have to wear my wig though. ugh i hated that thing. it itched and didn't stay on when i wanted to move, but it was good so people didn't stare. i pulled up to my house. 6 darkshadow drive. i pulled up the driveway that wrapped around the front, and pulled over to the garage. i guess my house was big, i mean i typically had parties there, but i never thought of it like that. i just thought of it as my house. i parked my golden BMW back in its usual spot, the furthest corner at the end of the driveway, because i was the last one to learn how to drive. i grabbed my iMac, iPod, blackberry, and black coach tote. i typed in the password for our keypad, and our garage door opened. i dashed inside, and shut the door, setting the alarm. i was the only one home, because no one's cars were there. i strolled out of the mudroom, through the hallway and my vast kitchen spread out before me. i placed everything on the island in the middle, in front of a barstool, and washed my hands. i hung up my red american eagle peacoat, and greeted my two dogs, louie and lucky. they were twin cockapoos, and they just turned 5. louie was a dark tan color, and lucky was lighter. the color was buff, but she amlost looked white a lot. louie was my buddy. he always followed me everywhere. lucky tended to follow my mom around. i sat in the barstool, and put my hands on the dark granite. i was hungry. i got up, and grabbed lettuce, tomato, and a fresh cucumber to make a salad. i clicked on the tv in the corner, hanging, and started chopping. in the middle, my phone vibrated and i grabbed it. it was cole. he texted me saying, "home yet?" i texted him back, "yea, come over. (:" and sat at my the counter and ate my salad. i opened my iMac, and checked my emails. my college scholarship applications were sent, and i was waiting for the result. i'm only a junior, but i wanted to put myself out there. i did pretty well on all my SAT's, but i had a pretty solid 4.0 GPA, so i wanted to get as many offers as possible. i'd applied to florida state, ole miss, and a few other state schools. not much to do here in north carolina. and i'm not even near the beaches, so it gets cold in the winter. i wanted to go south, someplace tropical. i munched away at my salad, checking facebook. you know, the usual rounds. said my happy birthdays to friend's i'd missed. josh put something stupid on my wall, i giggled a little, then my doorbell rang! i ran over to the front door to see cole standing there in sweats and a hoodie.
"cole!" i said, and jumped into his arms.
"hey baby." he said, and hugged me. he led me inside before he proceded to kiss me. he then pulled away, but i protested.
"wait." he laughed breathlessly, as did i. "is anyone home?"
"not at all." i said, and he continued to kiss me. i pulled away, and noticed something under his eye.
"cole, what happened?" i asked, as i traced the scratch marks that began under his left eye and continued to the tip of his nose.
"football, facemask."
"you're not kidding." i said, and kissed it.
"but what happened to your head, now that's the issue." he said, pulling at the knot in my bandana.
"no, cole, don't." i argued, and tried to replace his hands with mine.
"how many times have i told you, you look beautiful with or without hair." he argued.
"no, but i don't want you too."
"now why's that?"
"i don't look pretty without it. i don't like you seeing me without hair."
"i could care less if you had hair, what matters to me is you. that's all that i'll ever need." and he pecked my lips.
i pulled away. "but the hair is a plus." i added in, and kept kissing him.
"yes." he pulled away. "the hair is a plus." and he continued to kiss me while he pulled my bandana off, and threw it to the floor.
