NaNoWriMo day 11 Part One – 35103 Words (70%) – Abomination Teaser

I totally lost track of the time and missed submitting for Day 10 >.<

I scooted up the bed and rested my back against the headboard before I pulled her closer to me, letting her lay her head in my lap. My right arm lightly ran up and down her back, while the left ran through her silky tresses.

“It will be alright Kitten. We’ll get through this. I promise.” And we would. No matter what I had to do to make that happen.

“You called me ‘Kitten’.” She said almost surprised.

I arched a brow in her direction. “I always call you ‘Kitten’.”

I felt her shake her head on my lap. “You didn’t call me that when you left before. You called me Katalina. I thought you were mad at me.”

I stopped stroking her hair and lifted her chin to make her look at me. I was propped up too much and she had to shift herself to reach my eye level with a hand placed delicately on my shoulder. “Never think I’m mad at you. You haven’t done anything, willingly, to make me mad at you.”

She looked at me curiously and asked. “You mean it?”

I gave her my crooked smirk. “Of course I mean it.”

She smiled at me then and I really couldn’t resist. My left hand remained under her chin for the time being and I leaned forward and let my lips find hers.

She took a sharp intake of breath before her eyes slid shut and she returned the kiss the almost shyly.

Katalina was such a paradigm to me. I knew I would never figure her out, just like I knew, I could never be without her. She was who my heart and soul belonged to.
