Saving Katie by HollyS (books for 9th graders txt) 📖

missed being away from Katie and the ease of being with her, watching the world through her eyes at times made it seem more simple peaceful and calm.
Opening the door to their room he looked in the bed was empty and he noted that the note he had left was indeed read. "Thought I asked her to stay where she was". No note back and no sign or hint where she's gone to. Leaving the door open he walked in to the room and double checked definitely no note. Frustrated he rubbed his forehead, "well that makes things more complicated" he said to himself. "What does", a female voice from behind him at the door replied, sending shivers down his spine he swung round to face the voice. "Dammit", Karl muttered under his breath, "Hello Stacey, I don't suppose you have seen my other half?".
"Oh you mean the girl, wells he was here earlier I passed her as I came in earlier", Stacey shifted her position in the door frame so she looked more seductive. At one point Karl might have fallen for it like he used to, not this time though, this time it irritated him.
"When you say pass Stacey, I'm guessing you had a few words with her?" accusing her knowing her manipulative personality well enough now.
"I only told her some home truths darling" She moved over to where Karl was stood and snaked an arm around his waist. "Just that you and me are meant to be together, we know that she needed to know, you shouldn't string the young thing along like that".
Moving swiftly away from her Karl glared at her, "I'm not stringing her along, I love her and I walk to the ends of the earth for her, I would do anything for her", he pointed a finger at Stacey "Unlike you, you want me for show, to take to all your glitzy do's and fancy hotels, to show off to your work colleagues like I'm some sot of trophy. Katie wants me for me, she asks nothing more of me!".
"Karl, darling I know you inside out, your past, everything, you spent enough time telling me about it all, we were meant to be". Stacey attempted again to pull Karl closer, only to face more rejection.
"I don't want you", firmly and with all the calmness he could muster, he walked out the room resisting an urge to push her from his way. "I want Katie, I will always want Katie".

He ran down the hall and stairs out of the guest house. he had to find her, the panic was rising in him, she wouldn't know where to go, or what to do. She was vulnerable - bloody Stacey he should of known that it was going to be hassle. Sprinting to where they left the car the night before he figured it would be quicker to drive around looking for her rather then walk. Driving along the sea front slowly, checking every female he passed to see if it was Katie, the sea front turned up nothing, he drove round the town checking in the cafes and restaurants, still he couldn't see her. Trying his luck he drove a little out of town and checked more restaurants and garages.
Running out of options he turned back towards the town and guest house, passing a garage he already checked he pulled in for fuel. Filling up the car he thought of other places he could try, the guest house was his first choice in case she had come back, he put the fuel pump back and went into the shop to pay, on his way back out he sported a girl in a pink vest, hair tied back stood on the main road, at the edge of the garage. IT was Katie he knew, could sense it.
Running from the shop, he sprinted to where she was stood.
"Katie" he called as he approached.
She jumped and hesitated, before turning to face him, her face was blotchy and her eyes were red, she had been crying. He ran to her and folded her into his arms. "What on earth are you doing?", he tried not to sound like a bossy father but he was so worried.
"She said... she said she had your child", Katie tried hard to not cry again, "I cant compete with that".
"My child? Oh Katie you fool, she's jealous, she's jealous of you, of us." Karl pushed her away and looked at her, "She wanted you to feel the way you do that's why she said those things to you, she knew they would upset you, I promise you Katie there's no child, none anywhere".
Looking up at him, Katie seemed in two minds, he looked in to her eyes, "I love you Katie no one else, just you, your what I want, I wouldn't be going through all this if I didn't".
Katie's eyes filled up again and she started to sob, yet she smiled, Karl relieved to find he had not upset her further pulled her back in, and tucked her head under his chin, kissing her hair. God do I love her he thought to himself.
From some where in his chest he heard it, it was ever so quiet and if he hadn't been so close he would of missed it, "I love you too Karl". The heart jumped up into his throat and for a moment he thought he might cry.
"Lets go, we'll grab a take out and eat it in our room tonight. we'll slob out in front of the TV."
"What about Stacey?"
Karl put a finger to her lips, "You don't worry about Stacey, let me worry about that you've had enough Stacey for one day", he kissed her then, properly no awkward kiss on the check, ever so gently he kissed her lips and she returned it.

Hiding out in their room eating Chinese from the metal containers they watched TV together, there wasn't anything to interesting on, the usual soap operas and game shows. Was enough for them, they had each other and knew it. Declaring it was bed time, after yet another uninteresting game show had finished Karl stripped to his boxers and climbed into the bed, Katie watched him and looked him up and down, his arms had a slight muscle to them the same as his chest, only a very light tan, there was no sign of unsightly hair on his chest or back. Katie found herself pleased by that, her daddy had a hairy back, and she hated it.
Unsure what to do with herself, she looked up at Karl for help, he guessed what was wrong.
"If you feel you want to undress Katie then you can, if you don't want to its your choice, IT doesn't change a thing if you do or don't, I won't make you do and I won't do anything you don't want". He was male after all and would love nothing more then take more love to her but he knew it was in her time, not his.
She nodded and slowly undressed to her bra and knickers, not looking at him once she climbed into the bed with him under the sheets he wrapped an arm around her and pulled her close. Karl noticed that her body was perfect, her stomache was flat and her breasts were just right, her skin was as pale as her face further proof she rarely saw the sun, yet it made her beautiful.

Karl used his free hand to push the hair away from her ear,"I love you, your beautiful", he whispered into it, Katie turned her head and she kissed him, it was gentle and very unsure but it was nice, he could feel himself harden but reminded himself only what she wanted. Katie rolled onto her side to face him and in turn he did the same, they stared at each other for a while, "I love you to Karl, I feel tingly down there", she pointed her finger a the lower part of her body.
Looking down Karl chuckled, "Well that happens Katie".
"Oh I know what it means Karl, I'm just trying to tell you that I want to".
There was no more that needed to be said then that. Karl stripped her down removing the last items of clothing, kissing her neck down along her shoulders, touching her gently and listening to her moans of pleasure. Making sure not to miss an inch of her body he touched everywhere, kissed every smooth beautiful inch. Katie was unsure what she was meant to do but Karl didn't mind he took the lead, it didn't take a genius to work out she had never done this, even if they didn't know her back ground. He made love to her when he couldn't contain himself any more, the first time was rushed and he kicked himself for being so fast, but Katie asked to do it again, and they did, a few more times.
When the early hours of the morning came the pair drifted off together, wrapped in each others arms both exhausted but fulfilled and content. Dreams of the future for both involved the other, a home of their own, marriage and of course children, sleeping peacefully they stayed that way until the glaring sun woke them in the morning. There was no awkwardness no regrets, just smiles, Karl made love to her again and they showered together. After asking her how it was, she simply smiled and said "amazing", Karl felt that was enough, she enjoyed it and he had pleased her. Both showered and dressed they lay on the bed, Karl with his coffee and Katie with her tea, making plans for today... for the future, they were excited.

"Shall we go into town and put these plans into action Mrs Jensen?" Karl teased her.
"YES YES YES!" Katie jumped on the bed, Karl clutched his sides laughing at her enthusiasm til she launched herself at him. He caught but toppled at the same time and they feel to the floor with a huge crash.
"If anyone's below us their going to think we killed each other, or throwing the furniture around". between gasps of laughter Karl shouted.
"I don't care"

Chapter Eight

Full of excitement and enthusiam the pair headed into town. Whilst laying in bed that morning Karl asked Katie where she wanted to live, her reply "As long as you are with me I don't mind" had him thinking that they were already staying in a perfect town by the sea why change. Mentioning that to Katie proved to be a great idea and the pair decided to go to estate agents and see if they could find themselves some where to live. Barging into the first place they came across they were greeted by a well dressed young mad who's shoes looked as though they were polished to with in an inch of their lives no less then five minutes ago.
