Happiness

~Kat's P.O.V.~

I finally make it home from school and collapse on my couch from exhaustion. These past 2 months all I've thought about is Joe. Feeling a surge of confidence again I take out my phone, scroll to his contact and text him before I can change my mind. I take a deep breath because it's too late to take it back now so I'm going to let what happens happen.

I blush at his reply because he does remember me.

        ~End of Conversation~

After we said goodnight I take off my bra and change into my purple night shorts, black tank top, and my socks then I lay down in my bed. *I can't wait until tomorrow* is my last conscious thought before I get comfortable under my blanket and fall into a peaceful Oblivion with a smile on my face and peaceful dreams of Joe.

               ~Joe's P.O.V.~

As I am walking home from my night walk, I can't help but smile as I think about Kat. In fact, she's all I've been thinking about for two months now. I haven't been rendered speechless by a woman in years. *She's so sassy as well as shy at the same time* I think to myself as I approach the security gate. As I make it to the security gate my phone vibrates in my pocket, so I fish it out to see a text from an unknown number. My smile widens as I realize it's Kat because I don't give my personal number out to many people and in fact only three people have my personal number now and two of them are already saved.

After me and Kat are done texting, I get excited for tomorrow. I walk through the compound gate, up the driveway, and through the front door with a big smile plastered on my face and as I walk in the house I'm met by Kyle, my second-in-command and best friend. He looks at me like I've grown a second head and asks, "How was your walk big guy?" with eyebrows raised. "It was good. How are you man?" I reply with a laugh and a wide ass smile. "OK I have to ask who are you and what have you done with Joe?" he asks as he raises his eyebrow even higher. "I am Joe you drama queen. What am I not allowed to smile now?" I ask as my smile grows wider. "It's just weird man because I haven't seen you smile like that in 5 years. What caused that huge ass smile my dude?" Kyle asks as he raises his hands in mock surrender with a smile. My smile widens as I remember Kat and after a minute I reply, "Well that's a long story but the short version is I met the most gorgeous woman 2 months ago and she helped me" as I scratch the back of my neck nervously. "Congratulations man. I can see by that huge ass smile on your face that she makes you happy, so I wish you good luck with that and I hope she'll accept the lifestyle. Also, how did she help you?" Kyle asks with curiosity in his voice. "Me too man and she uh dug a bullet out of my arm and sewed me up" I reply as I scratch the back of my neck again awkwardly as Kyle raises his eyebrow higher and crosses his arms like he's waiting for further explanation. I shuffle my feet awkwardly and ask, "Where's my sister and nephew?" to change the subject. "Upstairs sleeping. I promised Sara I'd make sure you got home safely" he says with a soft smile as he takes the bait. "She always worries doesn't she" I say with a light laugh as I sigh in relief. "Always man. It's just in her nature. She's a mother hen type of person" he replies with a smile as he talks about my sister. "I'm safe Kyle go be with your family. I'm going to lay down myself man" I say as I nod and smile at him. "Alright man sleep well and I want the story of you being shot tomorrow" he replies with a smirk. I nod and say, "I figured your nosy ass would" with a smirk of my own as I make my way upstairs to my room. As I enter and close my door, I take off my pants and shirt and fall face first into my bed. As soon as my head hits the pillow, I fall asleep and to my delight I have peaceful dreams of Kat.
