Kevin's Confession, Part 2


 
Full Story
 
 
 Previously on 227N
 
"Give my boy a chance, alright?"
"What was that about?"
"Tasha. I'm in love with you."
"Say what?"
 
"Kevin," Tasha shakes her head. "I don't think that's funny."
Gazing at her intently he responds, "You know I'm not joking. Don't you?"
"You must be."
"Why?" he questions softly.
Quickly moving from the lounger she gives what she assumes is the most obvious answer, "Be-because you're my brother!"
"No. Actually, I not."
Feeling a catch in her throat she implores, "Don't say that. Don't do this."
Kevin turns away and stares resolutely at the floor. "I have to."
 
Tasha could see that he was hurting, but could only sigh to herself in bewilderment. Moving even further away from him, she sat on the sofa with arms folded.
 
"Kevin, I don't understand. Did I do something? I mean, I know I'm kinda affectionate, and I'm always trying to wrestle you. Is that why...?"
"Tasha, no! It's nothing you did wrong, and frankly, I didn't do anything wrong either. My feelings just... they just changed. I began to see you as - more than a wrestle crazy step-sister. I saw you as a woman."
"I don't...," she started unsure of herself, but continued in frustration. "What do you expect me to say here, Kevin? Because I never saw you as a 'step' anything," she said with hurt evident in her voice. "I just considered you my brother."
"I know," he replied reaching out his hand. "But I'm hoping you'll start to think of me as just a man. A man who's deeply in love with you," he said in an unwavering tone.
 
Overwhelmed, Tasha immediately breaks down. "Oh, man." Kevin mutters. He approaches her hesitatingly and begs, "Please don't cry." Any other time he would have pulled her into his arms and comforted her. But now he didn't think she would welcome his embrace.
 
 
Seated side by side, but emotionally apart, they stare in different directions. Now composed, Tasha achingly speaks. "How can I suddenly see you in some romantic light? You've been my brother for most of my life and now you want to change that?"
Kevin looked at her sharply, "You think this isn't hard on me? That I wanted to feel this way?"
"Then stop!" she said harshly. Not wanting to be unkind, she persisted in a softly pleading voice. "Let's just pretend that you didn't say these things." She placed a hand on his shoulder beseechingly. "Okay? We can..."
"5 years," he interrupted. "That's how long I've been pretending and it's tearing me up inside," he declared gesturing to his throbbing heart.
"Oh, Kevin!" She gasped brokenly and touched his hand. "I'm so sorry. But I can't..."
"Don't!" He demanded, grabbing her arms. "Don't say it. I've had 5 years to feel this way." She looked down feeling raw at his words but he lifted her chin gently and carried on, "While you've only had 5 minutes to process it. So please," he urged, "don't throw away the possibility of 'Us' so quickly."
"Kevin..."
"Please," he whispered.
 
She gazed at him for one agonizing second before throwing herself into his familiar arms and letting her tears fall. Never once imaging she would be in this situation, she didn't know how to resolve it without causing him more pain.
Unaware of her thoughts, he only sought to comfort her. "It'll be okay. You'll see. No matter what, we'll be okay."
 
To be continued... maybe... in the far, far future, if ever, lol.

  1. Poor Tasha. Poor Kevin. Kevin's been holding his feelings in for so long, and this hit Tasha from the left field. Great video!

    1. Sunny, I solemnly vow that in the end they will be happy because I always like a Happily Ever After in my romance. However, it would have been weird and an extremely short story if her response was, "I love you too, Kevin. Let's make out." LOL. Thanks for visiting!

    2. I agree ... much as I would like to see them together, it would have been odd for her to immediately re-position their relationship.

      I feel a little wistful that they aren't a new twosome like snap, but NOT disappointed. If something outside of the sibling relationship does develop, it would take an adjustment for her. Not fair of me or anyone to expect her to jump on Kevin as other than a brother.

      So looking forward to the continuing of this storyline ;-D

    3. Hi, Dana and thanks! You are right about her having to take an adjustment because for one she was really hurt that he didn't view her as a sister, but put "step" in front of it and then didn't even view her as that anymore.

  4. You are too good at this. Do you need an assistant? I'd close down Graces Grove and work with you in a heart beat.

    1. Mustiwait - If I had an assistant, that would be freakin' awesome! It would go faster and probably be more enjoyable if I had someone to help out. Unfortunately, I also know how particular I am, so I would be all, "OMG, you're doing it wrong! No, no, just step aside, I'll do it myself, ugh."

    1. Thanks, Limbe Dolls! Even though I'm not going full blown stop motion I do try to keep the blocking and gestures somewhat fluid.

  6. Awww what a tear jerker. Kevin's such a cutie, you just want it all to be okay for him. I know how Tasha feels though. I went through something similar with a non-related nephew, and the thought of us ending up on Jerry Springer was enough for me to tell him to snap out of it. Great video. Loved the lighting changes.

    1. LOL, Vanessa. I hope these two don't end up on Springer.

  7. I really hope they can work it out because it's had to have been hard on him for all that time, but I get how confusing and hard it must be for Tasha to understand. Poor loves.

    1. Well, thank you and welcome, Grandmommy! I'm following you back. LOL at you and your cherries.

  15. Aww...poor Kevin. I guess I should say poor Tasha as well. This is such a complicated situation for both. It would never work Kevin's way, at least not long term. Now that he has exposed his true feelings for Tasha, has their brother-sister relationship been compromised?

    There are so many unanswered questions.

    Will we have to create our own conclusions to the story?

  18. AHH, this made me all teary eyed!!! I really love your way of telling a story.
    I feel so sorry for both of them! Although I think both of them are handling it particularly well, considering.
    A testament to their good upbringing? XD

    Again, thank you for typing it all out too... for those of us who can't watch the video easily :)

  20. I'm wondering, what type of doll and series is Kevin? I tried to find one of him on eBay, but wasn't sure what to search...
    Also, where have you been?! I've missed your crazy (but helpful) posts and amazing barbie story!

    1. Hiya, Violet! Kevin is a Power Team Elite World Peacekeeper Action Figure. He can be purchased at Big Lots if you have one of those.

      Thank you for the compliment of my crazy posts, lol! Unfortunately, my real job has had the nerve to interfere with my doll exploits the past 6 weeks. This is a free weekend for me though, so hopefully I'll be able to catch up on the dollverse and some of my own dollie projects as well.
