Haunted By Your Shadow: Chapter 5
“So the movie was fun,” Katherine admitted. They’d had a little disagreement at the movie ticket booth as to which movie to watch; Katherine was interested in an epic love story taking place during the civil war, while Adam wanted to watch a psychological thriller with more visual effects than argument. In the end Katherine let him have it his way, since after all, he would certainly not get any tonight.
“Do I know how to pick them or what?” Adam was proud of his movie choice.
“You certainly do,” Katherine agreed, encircling Adam’s neck with her long arms and leaning in to kiss him.
“So-” Adam started but Katherine didn’t let him break off the kiss just yet.
“Do you want to come in?” Katherine smiled seductively.
“Are you sure?” Adam was confused; early on she had stated that he wouldn’t get any.
“No,” Katherine admitted, “but I’m pretty sure you can convince me to.”
With that said, the Mayfairs made their way to Katherine’s living room. Adam was planting some kisses on Katherine’s neck as she took his jacket off. “You don’t want it to get all wrinkled, do you?” Katherine teased him as she placed the black jacket on her couch next to them.
“I certainly don’t.” Adam moved his lips from her neck towards the back of her ear.
“And I bet you don’t want your shirt to get wrinkled either.” Katherine continued, unbuttoning his shirt as they headed upstairs to her room.
Katherine landed on her bed as Adam kept kissing her, ready to start unbuttoning her blouse but stopped with his task when he noticed that Katherine was now distracted with a brown teddy bear dressed in a red and white jacket. Katherine had landed on the cute teddy bear, which she was now holding in her hands.
“Is everything alright?” Adam asked, standing up next to the bed, still wearing his pants and socks.
“I can’t do this,” Katherine said apologetically, sitting on the bed with the teddy bear resting in her lap. “I’m sorry.”
“No need,” Adam said, sounding disappointed. “I’ll call you tomorrow,” he said with an empathetic tone, giving Katherine a kiss on her cheek and leaving to give her some privacy.
Katherine was in Dylan’s old room, studying the area carefully to make sure she hadn’t missed anything. She had finished packing Robin’s things about 5 minutes earlier, and in any minute the doorbell would announce that the blonde’s things would be leaving her house emptier than it already was.
She liked having Robin’s things there with her in her house but she knew deep inside that it wasn’t a healthy to do. The redhead was heartbroken when she received an email saying Robin would arrange to have them picked up the following weekend if she didn’t mind.
Of course the blonde would want her belongings back, it was just that the idea of it gave a definite end to the chapter of their lives they had shared and that’s what made Katherine sad. It was over, and Katherine had ended it.
The doorbell interrupted Katherine’s thoughts, and with a sigh she left the room and headed downstairs to answer the door.
“Hey, what’s up?” A blonde greeted Katherine as she popped her bubblegum. “You must be Katherine.”
“Indeed I am.” Katherine couldn’t believe Robin had sent such a character to pick her things. The redhead knew there wouldn’t be a chance Robin would come over personally, not even if she wished she would as hard as she actually did. But why would she send this picturesque lady?
“I’m Jennifer,” the blonde introduced herself, but you can call me Destiny.” She smiled. “My boyfriend’s in the truck waiting, is it okay if he helps me bring Robin’s stuff out?” Destiny rolled her eyes as if saying the line by memory, making Katherine wonder if Robin had demanded of her to make sure it was okay to bring that fat, greasy man into her house.
“No problem,” Katherine answered after examining the man with her eyes.
Half an hour later, Katherine was waiting by her door as Destiny walked out, carrying the last box with the only evidence that Katherine once had the pleasure to meet and be cared for by a wonderful woman named Robin.
“See ya around.” Destiny smiled, walking away as Katherine closed the door behind her, trying to stop her tears from falling down her face.
Two minutes later, Katherine was still standing next to her door, trying to get over the moment, when someone knocked at the door. When Katherine opened it she found Destiny standing there.
“I almost forgot,” Destiny smiled apologetically. “Robin wanted you to have this,” she informed her as she handed her a teddy bear wearing a red and white jacket.
“Thanks.” Katherine frowned upon receiving the teddy bear.
“Robin wanted to thank you for opening up to her the way you did.” Destiny smiled as Katherine’s eyes got heavier with tears.
“Would you tell her I’m sorry?” Katherine requested, holding the teddy bear close to her chest.
“Take care.” Destiny smiled as she turned around, not looking back.
Katherine burst into tears as she hugged the teddy bear, still sitting on the bed in the exact same position she’d been in when Adam had left her fifteen minutes ago.
