"Well, I've been desperately trying to get the paint off of my clothes from our little slave day..." I recalled, finding nothing of big interest other than that. "That was some heavy duty shit you had there Kate... It still aint comin' out..." I smirked, knowing she'd take pleasure in my suffering.
"Oh, and I'm a Pillar by the way." I said, knowing that if she had no previous knowledge of it from Mathew or Linda, that it would be quite the bombshell to drop. "Fun, huh?" I smiled, hoping for a good reaction from her.
Nice delivery...
Thanks, I thought so too.
That was sarcasm...
Oh...

"Damien the pillar..."
Yeah she was shocked, but Kate was good at covering it up. She took another sip of coffee and her face betrayed nothing. Not a hint that she was shocked and surprised... and a little bit jealous. That's right, jealous. Kate kind of wanted to have the shiny title of pillar.
"Always having to upstage almost everyone else."
A chuckle, those emerald eyes dancing once more. She was glad that the paint was still on his clothing. Her nose wrinkled from her amusement and humor. She really was enjoying moments like these.
"So you, Linda... Mathew... who's the fourth?"
It was a good question. Kate wanted to know who the fourth was. That sort of information would be a good thing to know.

"My dear, what kind of leading man would I be if I didn't steal the spotlight? It's what I do." I said, knowing that was exactly how she was thinking. "as far as the fourth Pillar goes, his name is Matrim. Matrim Gallagher. He's Varsity Captain. Linda is the School's Captain as you know and Mathew is the Student Body President. I got the very fitting title of Media Director. I will be in control of everything you think... Everything you hear and read will be approved by me..." I smiled. "So, keep your eyes open for secret messages."
Creeper...
I am not a creeper!!

Ha. Wasn't he a loony. Controlling what she thought? Hardly. Kate rose from her chair and walked around to where he was sitting, smirking as she did so.
"Damien, if there is one thing I'm certain about it is that you," she leaned over and poked him in his nose at this point," do not control my thoughts, and never will. Because then instead of being filled with important things, you'd have it filled with dirty things."
The blonde kept on smirking, and walked off. Straight back to the barista, back to a refill. She quickly ordered another white chocolate mocha, with extra pumps of white chocolate. She leaned on the counter, smiling at the barista and waiting. Soon enough the coffee was in her hand and she was walking back to Damien.
"But I will admit that out of all the pillarships, that is probably the best fit for you Damien."

"Dirty thoughts? Me? Why, how could you ever occuse me of that my dearest?" I played along. "I think of nothing but virginal thoughts of you- seeing a movie or having dinner while talking about rousing topics like politics..." I smiled.
I let her go refill her coffee, waiting patiently while she did so. I just nursed my coffee, watching her from my seat- thinking the very thoughts she accused me of. So I was guilty... Pfft...
Upon her return to the table, I would offer her a warm smile and allow her to pick the topic.

Kate strode back with her hot, fresh coffee in hand. The blonde fought down the urge to pour it all over him. Why? Well, that whole love hate thing. She had urges to kiss him, and hurt him in equal turns. Something he was going to have to live with through the years.
"Politics? Tch. Damien, you should know better. You'd bore me to death."
Really he would. Kate hated getting involved in conversations about such things. She'd rather have fun, to be honest. A little silly? Maybe, but she was still young. She still wanted to live her life after all.
"I rather like dirty things Damien. At least when it comes to some situations."
Just what was she hinting at exactly? Kate sat down and smiled at Damien, trying to figure out what was going in on his odd mind.

"I rather like dirty things Damien. At least when it comes to some situations."
"Hmph, so I've heard." I remarked, meaning quite a few things with that simple sentence, all of which Kate would be sure to pick up on. "So then, here's my question Kate... What kind of thoughts do you think when you think about us?" I asked with a small laugh, showing that I didn't take this question seriously at all. Sure, I was interested in the answer, but it was a question asked for shits and giggles.

What did she think about when she thought about them? Kate took a sip of coffee, honestly thinking about it now. Damien Kross and Kate McHallin... what did she think?
"When I think about us, I think about what was... the smiles, the laughs... the first time I cooked dinner for you, and you were starving yourself... But... sometimes... I just can't get it out of my head really Damien. Sometimes I want to jump your bones, and other times I want to crush your skull in... and my mind can't seem to make it's self up."
Honesty, nothing but true honesty. The blonde looked at him, and smiled. There were times she wanted to fuck him, and times she wanted to kill him. The question was, which one would win first? And what sort of chance would Damien get from this?

"Did it ever occur to you that those times you keep remembering are the exact times we're having now? The smiles, the laughs, the cooking- the past weeks of our lives have been exactly what you say you miss." I gave her a warm smile. "Here we are, smiling and laughing in a coffee shop, just like the ol' days. Last week, we ate a homecooked meal at my place, just like the ol' days. We find ourselves teammates again, just like the ol' days... I kept wanting the old days to come back, and as far as I see it, they are..."
At least to me, it was true... This was the life I used to have. This was the life where Kate and I were happy- poking insults at each other over coffee, knowing that deep down, we didn't mean any of it. It was exactly how I wanted things.

She softened, just a tad. Just a bit. But it showed in her eyes, in her face. The blonde had to admit that things were just like the use to be, almost. So close, and yet not. The pale girl reached across and grabbed Damien's hands, pain and sadness in those emerald eyes.
"Damien, things are so close to what they were. But I'm a different person. And you are as well. I don't know if things can be the same."
She pulled his hand toward her, brushing her lips across his knuckles. Softly, gently before letting his hand go. Her eyes went back to normal and she took another drink of coffee.
"And things are going to be interesting Damien, one way or another."

"You're choosing to only look at the differences Kate... You're dwelling on what you say has changed in you and changed in me... From what I see, all that's different in you is a little less bubbly of a girl and a little more edgy..." I smiled, meaning it as a compliment. "As far as I go, all that's changed in me is- well... let's hear what you think has changed."
Reversal of fortune.
"You who dwells on differences... What's different about me?" I asked, quite interested in what she would have to say.

What had changed? He had to ask that? Kate took another sip of her coffee, which suddenly tasted bitter. Those emerald eyes were icy, and sad all in the same glance. How was she suppose to put this? How?
"You say there's a crazy side of you that does things you don't like or want. Something like that... So, I can't trust you Damien. Not fully. I... I've been raped once. Against my will. And you've done that to girls, whether it was you or this crazy side. I know what they felt, what they went through. But I can't trust you Damien, not fully... not ever again."
There it was, out and spoken. The thing she was dreading to say was now said. Would it close a door? Or would he still try? The blonde wasn't sure which one she really wanted. A part of her loved him. A part of her hated him. She was at a loss from there.
"So really, it's me who's changed. My view on you."

No bullshit- no fluff- I needed to ask the question I needed the answer to.
"Is there any hope?"
The question was simple, but filled with so much more meaning that it would appear. The question would be the perfect summary of the last month of my life...
It would decide my courses of action from here on... She knew I loved her- deeply, completely... And I knew a part of her still held those same emotions for me...
Her answer though... Would make or break me.

Did he have a chance? That was another thing that Kate had to really think about. Did Damien Kross have a chance with Kate McHallin... again? She licked her lips and looked at him calmly.
"Yes... and no."
That really wasn't an answer, now was it? Kate sighed and lowered her head into a hand. Those eyebrows rose and she smirked at him.
"I really don't have an answer for you Damien. I care about you in a weird way... and I loved you once... I hate to say it this way Damien... but it's up to you. I'm at a loss Damien."
Nothing but the truth so help her god.

Exactly what I expected...
Ditto.
I knew it was beyond her to give a straight answer... Such was the way Kate operated now. I forced a smile, finished my coffee, and stood, talking a moment to straighten out my suit and pocket my hands.
"I need to run some arrends." I said simply, lying through my teeth. The only thing I really had to do was stop at 7-11 on the way home.
Frankly, there was too much going on in my head to deal with Kate's indirect answers.
"I only have one question before I go..." I paused. "Tell me honestly... Is there another guy? And I mean of any standards... Flirt, fuckbuddy, anything... I at least deserve to know that."
