The Girl Next Door Chapter 66

Kate woke up to find herself still wrapped up in Sidney’s arms at four. She moved a little bit and kissed him on the cheek. He moaned, as if he did not want to be woken up, so Kate kissed him on the mouth, and that got him to wake up.
“What?” he moaned after their kiss.
“Well, its four AM,” Kate whispered, “don’t you think we should get to bed?”
“Probably not a bad idea.”
They got up and Kate turned off the TV. They walked back to their rooms and got ready for bed, and after they had brushed their teeth kissed each other goodnight.

Kate woke up around eight-thirty, put her hair up into a ponytail, and went to see if Sidney was in his room. He wasn’t, so she headed out to the kitchen and found him there with Taylor.
“Good morning,” Kate said as she walked into the kitchen.
“Morning,” Sidney and Taylor replied in unison. They were both seated at the table watching TV, and Sidney pulled out a chair for Kate.
“Aw, thanks,” Kate said as she sat down and gave Sidney’s hand a squeeze.
“Blah,” Taylor said, sticking her tongue out.
“Shut up Tay,” Sidney said.
“Excited for our run?” Kate asked him a minute later.
“Oh yeah, you know how much I love running,” Sidney sarcastically said. He didn’t like running, and Kate knew it, so she was going out with him to try to motivate him (Kate ran a few times a week, and actually liked it).
“Well, let’s get a little something to eat and get moving. The sooner we go, the earlier we’ll be done with it.”
They ate a little something, and then got ready for their run. Their run was three miles long, and after it, they were sweaty and tired (it was nine-thirty and already eighty degrees, a rarity for Cole Harbour). They grabbed some water when they got inside, and sat down on the couch.
“Well, that was fun, wasn’t it?” Kate asked with a big smile on her face as she patted his hand.
“Oh yeah, a ton of fun,” he sarcastically said. “And now it’s time for me to head in for training.”
“Well, have fun.”
“I always do. I actually like it.”
“I know you do, and that’s why everyone thinks you’re a freak,” Kate laughed.
Sidney leaned in and gave Kate a quick kiss on the lips.
“I’ll see you in a couple hours,” he said.
“Okay, see ya,” she replied.
After Sidney left, Kate took a shower, and then headed outside to play some hockey with Taylor. After playing for a long time, they went inside and watched some TV as they waited for Sidney to come back, because he was going to take them out when he got back.
