"If you like to do the things you know that we shouldn't do. Then baby, I'm perfect
Baby, I'm perfect for you
And if you like midnight driving with the windows down
And if you like going places we can't even pronounce
If you like to do whatever you've been dreaming about"

Chapter Seventeen
The day before homecoming
Katherine Carter
____•____

Today was the day I would come over to Peters house for dinner. And after yesterday I don't think it's a good idea but here I am sitting in front of my vanity applying the last bit of makeup.

"Katherine where are you going?" Harry asks leaning in the door frame.
"Erm I'm going to dinner with Peter and his aunt." I mumble.

"Oh is this a meeting girlfriend type of meeting?" He asks and I shake my head.

"Just dinner." I respond and he nods chuckling.

Through my mirror I look at him and make eye contact.

"Don't give me that look." I say and he raises an eyebrow.

"What look ?" He asks innocently.

I stand up and rub my lips together to help spread the lipstick and pop them right after. I then put the lipstick down and walk over to him ignoring the slight pain in my ankle.

"The one where you look jealous." I say and he scoffs.

"I'm never jealous." He lies and I roll my eyes.

"You're the most jealous guy I know! But anyway don't give me that look you were the one who told me even if you liked me you couldn't be with me for unknown reasons might I remind you." I say.

"You don't need to remind me but I don't think I can stand by what I said when you look like that." He says smirking and I sigh.

"Shouldn't you be confirming your date with that one girl. May I remind you homecoming is tomorrow." I say grabbing my phone.

He laughs and shakes his head walking out waiting for me at the staircase.

"I'll be back later Harry don't burn the freaking house down." I say grabbing my bag.

"Yes babe." He says blowing me a kiss.

"Harry!" I say and he laugh.

"Fine." He said winking and I walk down the stairs grabbing my keys from the bowl.

"Bye!" I yell and close the door.

I drive to Peters house and park on the street making sure to lock my car and if anyone touches it they will get a small lightning bolt.

I walk through the lobby and into the elevator straightening my outfit. "Shit." I curse when I put too much weight on my ankle and grab onto the railing.

I walk to their door and knock three times before the door opens reveling Peter's attractive Aunt. This lady makes me question my sexuality.

"Hey May." I greet and she says, "Hi Katherine."

She motions for me to come in and I do trying to make the limping discreet. "Peter will be here in a minute for now sit kiddo" she says smiling and I nod sitting down at their table.

"I hope you like Chinese." She says and my stomach growls.

"I like everything." I say smiling and she nods going back into the kitchen.

I pull my phone out and scroll through social media.

"Is she here yet- Katherine." Peters breaths and I smile.

"Hey." I say standing up and he hugs me.

"You always smell so good." He whines and I laugh.

"You do too." I say and he blushed.

He grabbed the chair and pulled it out for me and while I was sitting down I mumbled a thank you.

He sits next to me and I take in what he's wearing.

Black jeans and a white button up with a couple buttons undone at the top. He looked hot.

"You look beautiful." He whispers into my ear when May comes out with a large plate with what I assume is the food.

I blush and rub my nose without knowing.

"Thank you." I whisper and play with my hands.

May sits down and inhale the smell of homemade Chinese food, my mouth watering at the sight of such beauty. We each grab some and then we start eating.

"So Katherine when did you guys get together?" May asks while pouring some wine into her glass.

"W-what?" I ask as I set my glass down.

"May we aren't t-together we are just friends." Peter says stuttering and blushing. I try to hide the fact that I'm blushing by putting my long hair on my shoulders.

"Oh I just assumed by the amount of times you gush about her you would be together. Not to mention that you have her as your wallpaper on your computer but my bad for as-" Peter groans and slumps back on his chair while I try to surprise a giggle.

"Just stop telling May." He mumbles his face completely red.

"No no please continue." I say sitting at the edge of my seat intrigued.

"He talks about you all the time. He would come home from school like, Oh my gosh she looked so beautiful in that outfit." She says mocking him

"Really?" I asked intertwining my hand and placing them under my chin. At this point my cheeks were aching from the smiling and I giggled.

"May!" He says and facepalms.

"After dinner I'll have to see his camera." I say and Peter groans.

"Are you guys going together to homecoming tomorrow?" May asks and I tense up a little putting my fork down. "No Peter asked someone else." I say and she gives me a sad smile. "His loss. Who's the lucky guy?" She asks and I chuckle.

"I'm actually going with my best friend Michelle and Harry but he has a date." I say and she nods.

"I know who Michelle is but who's Harry?" She asks while taking another sip of her wine.

"Oh Harry, Harry Osborn I have known him since 7th grade." I say smiling. Her eyes widen in surprise at the mention of the son of Norman Osborn the CEO of a multi billion dollar company.

"Peter I didn't know you had such, friends..." she says laughing. I try not to take that as an offense because after all we are privileged, Harry and I, but even if we do have all of the money we are alone.

We continued talking about everything and nothing. Time sped by and when the dinner was over I helped her clean up.

I washed the dishes despite her protesting until she finally gave in. After drying my hands and telling her I was done I made my way to Peters room knocking before going in.

"Hey." He says into the pillow. He was laying down face forward and I laugh at the sight. I walk over to his computer and open it surly enough my picture was there.

"You couldn't have gotten a better picture." I whine and sit on his chair.

"You look good in all of your pictures shut up." He says into the pillow again not bothering to look up. He suddenly gets up fast and I look at him.

"Why were you limping." He asks and I push the chair to the door.

"Oh would you look at the time." I say and grab the door knob. "Nope." He says and webs my wrist and waist making me sit on my chair. He then wheels me back to him and groan.

"Fine the car smashed my ankle during the Ferry fight are you happy?" I ask with a sarcastic tone.

"Jesus- why didn't you tell me?" He asks annoying evident in his voice.

"Im sorry but with everything that happened I didn't want to make things worse..." I say in a quiet voice and he sighs.

"Let me see." He says and I put my leg on his thigh. He unlaced my boot and took it off. My foot being covered by black socks. "You have tiny feet." He says and I laugh.

He examines it and sees the purple bruise. "Why are you wearing heels ?" He asks looking up from it.

"Because I'm a bad bitch." I say with a straight face before bursting out laughing and he laughs too.

"What's going on in here?" May walks in and we both freeze.

"Nothing Katherine just fell during volleyball and hurt her ankle." Peter lies and I am taken back by surprises he's s really good liar.

"Y-yeah." I said and coughed a little.

"Oh alright listen I'm going to go to Susan's apartment she is having some husband problems and needs a shoulder. Don't wait up on me."

"The dinner was amazing thank you for having me May." I say and she smiles.

"Come over anytime." She says and waves bye to both of us.

I turn to Peter again and lays down. I lay down next to him and let him play with my hair.

"I don't like Liz anymore." He blurts out and my heart races. "R-really?" I ask trying not to sound happy.

I could finally have my Peter.

"Yeah I guess it was just a crush you know?" He asks and I nod. "Yeah."

"Do you want to watch a move in the living room?" He asks and I nod. He gets up and I stay laying down.

"Why aren't you getting up?" He asks chuckling.

"Carry me I'm injured." I playfully whine and he shrugs.

"Come here." He says and I listen.

He bends down a little and wraps his arm around my waist bringing me up.

We go into the living room and he stops.

"What?" I ask looking at him.

"I'm going to throw you on the couch." He replies and before I could say no I scream as he tosses me on the couch.

"Dick." I mumble and he laughs.

The entire night Peter and I cuddled watching something called Star Wars and drinking cherry soda. The next morning it was Saturday meaning today was homecoming.

Freaking homecoming. And guess who I was going with? No one. Well I'm going with my best friend Michelle so that's cool.

"Peter I need to get home." I say and he groans.

"No stay here with me." He says and puts his face in my neck. My breathing quickens at his hot breathe hits my neck.

"Peter." I say pushing him a little. It was silent for a moment until he mumbled something in his sleep. Then my eyes widened when his lips met with my neck.

"P-Peter." I say and try breaking out of his grip.
"Shh." He mumbles and leaves trails of kisses down my neck and onto my shoulder.

He gets up completely and looks me in the eye.

"Can I please kiss you?" He asks and I respond without thinking.

"Yes." I mumble and he does connecting our lips.
"You are so beautiful." He says while I try to hold back a giggle.

"This is what it's like waking up with you?" I whisper and he nods. "Yes." He says and kisses me one more time before getting up.

"It's homecoming day and I need to get ready for the day so shoo." He says and I raise an eyebrow propping myself up with my elbows.

"You didn't let me get up and now your kicking me out?" I ask with an amused smile.

"Yes now off you go Carter I'll see you later." He says and I smile. I get up grabbing my boots not putting them on.

I peck his cheek and wave before heading out.

As soon as I get in the car I sigh hitting my head on the steering wheel.

I'm in deep.
