Chapter Seven:

When we were done with our sundaes, Ben reached into his pocket and left the tip. "Tips on me," he said and winked at me. "Oh no you don’t. I’m paying for my own." Then Marissa left her share of the tip on the table. "Well, I’m paying for Katherine’s because she is basically my date." Then Ben walked out the door, with me right behind him. Marissa followed and we all got into the car. We buckled up and headed towards my house. When we got there, Ben seemed amazed. "Wow, awesome house." "Thanks," I said and we got out of the car and headed towards the door. I opened the door with my spare key, "Mom! We’re here!" "In the kitchen, sweetie!" then we all headed towards the kitchen. When we got in there, my mom had her apron on and was washing her hands. She dried her hands off on the towel on the kitchen sink. "You must be Ben," and she put her hand out in front of her for Ben to shake. "Ben Wilson. Nice to meet you Mrs. Stokes," he said and shook her hand. "You guys have a seat and I’ll fix your plates." We sat down and Mom handed us our plates. On our plates we had spaghetti with parmesan on top and french bread to the side. Everything looked delicious. We ate and talked about random stuff, like what foods we liked, our favorite colors, and our favorite school subjects. When we were finished, Marissa, Ben and I went up to my room, but of COURSE my mom wanted to talk to me before going in there. She pulled me aside while Marissa went upstairs and showed Ben the way. "Keep the door open, young lady.""Mom. Ben is Marissa’s cousin. I don’t think she would want to see us kissing, let alone anything that bad." "Door. Open.""OK. OK. Door open, I get it." She smiled,"Thank you," and she walked into the living room.

I walked upstairs to my room where Ben and Marissa were sitting there on my bed, arguing. "No your not!""Oh yes I am and there is nothing you can do to stop me!""You wanna bet? Let’s take...Oh, hi Kat." I stared at them in confusion. "What was that all about?" I said as I sat in my desk chair. "Oh, nothing. Ben being stupid again." "Yeah, sure." "OK, you guys. I really think you’re brother and sister, not cousins." They laughed. "That’ll be the day," Marissa said and she got my remote and turned on the TV. She flipped through the channels for something to watch. "There’s nothing on. As usual." Ben snatched the remote," Oh yes there is! Racing, hello?" "Ugh. Kat, where is your bathroom?" "Um, take a left and it’s the last door on the right." "Thanks," then she left the room. "God, I thought she’d never leave." I walked over to my bed and sat beside him. "Why do you guys argue?" Ben put down the remote and looked at me, "Um, well, we just do." I looked at him in confusion. ‘He wouldn’t lie to me, would he?’ I thought, ‘Nah’. Ben saw my confused face, "We use to live together so we kinda act that way for a reason." "Oh," I said and started watching the TV.

Just as Marissa went through my door, Ben leaned in and kissed me. "OK you guys. Get a room." We stopped kissing and looked up both embarrassed and amused at the same time. "Hey, that was only our second kiss," Ben said as he scooted closer to me so Marissa could have a seat on the bed. "No, I’m sitting behind your guys. I don’t’ trust you," and then she laughed. We laughed as well. "Well, fine." Then Ben kissed me again, this time longer then the rest. "OK, I cant take this. It’s kinda sick." "We have a room, your just in it," Ben said and I blushed. "Well I’m not leaving you two by yourself. Two teens plus one bed equals nothing but trouble." She laughed, another one of her evil laughs. I blushed, "Shut up, Marissa. That is definitely not cool." We both laughed then my mom came into my room. "Um, Marissa. Phone call, I think it’s your mom. She sounds pretty upset." Marissa ran to the phone that was in my mom’s hand. "Hello?" She said and it was about two minutes later when she said, "Oh My God, Mom. Are you two okay?...Yeah I’m coming right away!...Love you." Then she hung up the phone. "Mrs. Stokes, can Kat come with me to the hospital with me. My mom and dad have been in a wreck." Then Marissa broke down crying.
