College Passion

Kimberly went to bed angry. Tommy laid there beside her as she rubbed the head of the terrier on her stomach. Bulldog running around at the foot.
"Look, Jason, sometimes, can put his dick in his mouth, you shouldn't let it.."
"But was he right! Is that all we are to him, sex! To everyone!"
"NO!" Kim pulled away as he tried to hold her. "We know what we are, why should it matter what..."
"They are friends, best friends and all they see is...I need to take a walk." Kim pulled her Gizmo PJ pants on from the floor and slipped on her hi-tops.
"Wait a minute, it's like 11:30 at night."
"I don't care!" She fixed her pink tank down and pulled her hair into a ponytail. She picked up the puppies. "I can tire out the puppies!" She opened the door and let them run out.
"I'll go with you! Wait!"
"No, I need to be alone." She closed the door. Kim put the chains on the puppies and they left.


1am

Tommy looked over at his clock. Kim still hadn't returned. Tommy sighed and got up. He slipped on a shirt, pants and shoes. Just as he opened the door, Kim had her keys up to unlock the door.
"Hey."
"Hey."
"I was just coming to.." Kim cut his sentence off with a kiss. "Get you."
"I'm sorry. Instead of letting all the anger stay in me, we should have talked. I should know that you are the one person, I can trust and tell anything to, no matter how silly, stupid it sounds." Tommy pulled her inside and kissed her again. Kim pulled away to put the puppies in their bed.
"I'm sorry too."
"Come here, tiger." She pulled him by the shirt into the bedroom. Tommy closed the door behind him as Kim held his face as they kissed. Kimberly pulled his shirt off, still kissing him. Tommy was pushed to the bed, as Kim straddled his lap. She kissed him again, as he pulled her tank off. She cupped his face and kissed again. As his hands molded and caressed her breasts, Tommy slipped his hand between them, into Kim's pants and slid a few fingers inside her. It wasn't long before the couple laid under the sheets, naked, making love. Tommy lifted her legs around his waist, as he thrust faster and harder inside her. It was intense, it was slow, they made love to relight their souls. They came together, only 'Love you' could be uttered after one of the most intense sex between the couple.
"Wow."
"Double wow." Tommy got up on his arms, only to have Kim's legs tighten around his waist, refusing to let him go. "What?"
"I like it when you stay inside me."
"Me too." Tommy reached down and kissed her deeply. When her hands roamed down his back and squeeze his butt, pushing him deeper inside her, Tommy moaned to her squeezing around him. The bed creaked once again beneath them. Tommy came again, as they kissed. Kim loved when he jerks and trembles. She rubbed the sides of his head.
"I love you."
"I love you too," he said. Kim held his face as they kissed, tongues battling. They smiled at each other. Tommy kissed her shoulder and rolled them over to their sides. She hugged him with content.


5:15 am

Kimberly slipped from the bed. She placed a pillow in Tommy's arms. He hugged it, thinking it was her and continued sleeping. Kim put on her pink sport bra, black shorts, black hoodie and black sneakers. Kim got her gymnastic gear and sneaked out the room. She grabbed some juice and made a quick egg sandwich. She gave the puppies a kiss goodbye as she left. At the gymnasium, only the coaches and a few girls were there warming up.
"There you are! I knew you would come." Coach Henderson motioned for Kim to come over.
"You know my husband, these are my assistance, Eric, Cindy and Michelle."
"Hi, nice to meet you." Kim shook their hands.
"So, are you going to show us something or just watch?"
"Uh, I haven't really..."
"Just warm up. Cindy, help her with her bags" Coach Blair Henderson and her husband, Coach Thorne Henderson have lead the UCLA girl's team to 4 national titles in the last 10 years. The husband and wife combo seems to work for them.
Kimberly went to the beam. She stretched a little after slipping off her hoodie and sneakers. She looked at the beam and ran her hand along it.
"Still got that punch front?"
"Yea," Kim said smiling. Cindy helped her set up the punch. Kim stood at the line. Flashes of '96 Olympics flooded her mind. She took a deep breath and ran down to the beam. Kim did a punch pike onto the beam. She had a slight pause. She went into some jumps and a spin. Her sequence, 2 back walkovers. Kim nearly came off the beam, her feet gripping it. Kim did her dance steps and low beam work. She ended with a simple full twist dismount. Cindy nodded.
"When was the last time you were on a beam?"
"Like April."
"Wow."
"Bad, huh?"
"No, only a bobble on your mount and sequence. Dismount was good."
"It was simple."
"Kim, this is college. What you did at the level of Olympics is way beyond what we do here. You'll see. Good job."
"I see you haven't lost that touch," Coach Henderson said. She handed Kim some bar grips. "Let's check out your swing." Kim smiled and took the grips.
8am
"How could she just disappear and not take her phone!"
"Tommy, calm down, this is Kim here. She can take care of herself!"
"She didn't even leave a note..I don't understand this."


All of the sudden, the door opened. Kim looked up at faces of Rocky, Tommy and Adam.
"Hey guys."
"Where have you been!"
"At the gym?"
"Why didn't you leave a note or take your cell phone!"
"I didn't know I needed to! I thought I would be back before you woke up!"
"Sorry." Tommy held her shoulders and hugged her. "I was just soo worried." Tommy noticed powder on her neck. "You were at the gym?"
"Gymnastic center."
"Why?"
"I...I did a trail run through of some things."
"You joined the team." His tone indicated it was more a statement than a question.
"Well, they liked me and with a little more training, they think I could be ready for next week's meet. Isn't that great!" Rocky and Adam knew a fight was boiling.
"Yea, it's great. I better head to class," Adam said. "Congratulation, Kim." Adam kissed her cheek and grabbed his bag. He left.
"Yea, wonderful!" Rocky rushed out with him after hugging Kimberly.
"Why didn't you tell me you were doing this?"
"I didn't know I need your permission."
"That's not the point, here. You said, you didn't want to do this, one phone call from your mother and now you are on the team!"
"Gee, thanks for the support." Kim put her bag down and walked away. "I thought you would be happy for me!"
"I will be, if you tell me this is what you want to do!"
"Of course it is! I wouldn't be doing this if..."
"No, Kim, honestly, tell me. You're not doing this to please your mother."
"I am not doing this to please my mother, gosh! Thanks for not believing I can't make decisions on my own!" She slammed the bathroom door in his face. Tommy hit the door.


2pm

Kimberly stood outside her Dance instructors office. Today's class was meetings to talk about the final dance for the exam.
"Sorry, I'm late."
"It's okay."
"So, you are doing the piece with Aisha?"
"Yea."
"And you did "I'm A Slave For You" for your midterm." She wrote in Kim's folder. Kim nodded. "My only A, I gave out."
"Thanks."
"You deserved it. So, what's will the music selection this time?"
"Umm...'Honey'."
"Sounds good."
"More hip-hop orientated. Is that okay?"
"It's a free final, you can do whatever you want. No slacking off though."
"Oh, I promise. Aisha and I have something nice planned."
"Good."
"Nothing too flashy, it's not about the outfit, it's about the dance."
"I know."
"Can't wait." Kim smiled and left.

2:30pm

Tommy opened his bedroom door to find Kimberly asleep on top of the bed. Tommy quietly slid her sneakers off her feet and put the blanket around her. Something on her side caused him to stop. He eased Kim's black tee up and saw a bruise forming on her side. He moved her gray corduroys down a bit and saw the bruise spread. Kim woke up. She sat up pulling away.
"What are you doing?"
"You should ice that."
"It's fine."
"Doesn't look fine."
"I said it was!" She fixed her tee.
"Sorry." Tommy stood up. He went to the door.
"I fell from bars." Tommy stopped. "And it hurts like hell." Tommy turned around. Kim's head was down. "You were right. I shouldn't be doing this."
"I never said you shouldn't do this," Tommy said coming back to sit beside her. "I just want you to be doing this because it's what you want to do." Kim got up and hugged him.
"I need you."
"I need you too."
"I need your help."
"I'm here."
"I can't do this alone."
"You are never alone, Beautiful, trust me."

Next morning
8:06 am

Tommy woke up to find Kimberly stroking his shoulder and chest. It was pretty early in the morning. The alarm wasn't gonna go off for another hour. Kimberly laid awake staring at her 4.2 carat pink diamond ring. It was huge, too much for a couple so young. Kimberly and Tommy are far too young to be thinking about marriage one would assume.

**Flashback a few hours ago**
Tommy rubbed Kim's back as she slept on her side. He would often kiss her head. Kimberly started to stir. She moaned and pouted. Tommy smiled and kissed her head again. Kim groaned and rubbed her eye and felt something cold to her forehead. She slowly brought her left hand down into vision and there was on her ring finger the pink diamond ring. She gasped.
"Wha..what is.."
"I love you. I have and I will always love you. Now, I'm not saying we have to get married tomorrow morning, a week from now, a month even a year. But, we will be married, eventually. I need you, I want you. I want us, I want to marry you, Beautiful. Will you marry me?" Kim looked at her ring then Tommy. Tears rolled down her face. She quickly grabbed his face and kissed him.
"Of course! Of course I'll marry you! God! YES!" They kissed again. Tommy and Kimberly rolled around the bed simply kissing, before making love and falling back asleep.
**Flashback end**


"What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
"Liar," Tommy said taking her hand. "Come on, Kim. I know you. Whatcha thinking about?"
"I think...I feel like, I don't know." Tommy reached over and clicked the lamp on.
"Beautiful, talk to me. You're not rethinking about us and getting married, are you?"
"NOOO! I love you! I love this ring! You're not getting this back, mister." They kissed. "Tommy, this ring must have cost you a fortune."
"Not really. I paid nothing. Not one cent."
"What?"
"It was my mother's. My real mother's. David, my brother, he believe my father gave it to her, you know one of the last gifts he gave her, besides me."
"I'm sorry." Tommy shook her head with a smile. He kissed her forehead. "Could you tell me the whole story? You never told me the whole story about your mother."
"I know."
"Will you now?"
"Of course." Tommy laid back holding Kimberly to his chest. "My mother's name was Rose Trueheat and she was engaged to a Mr. Andrew Martin. He was a cop from New York City. He met my mother on the Indian reservation when he was passing through Nevada.....they met, they fell in love....so, there was my mother, 8 weeks pregnant with the father killed. David was too young to truly understand, but he says he remembers how sad our mother was. She was never the same....she died after giving birth to me. Mom worked in the hospital and was the first one to hold me up to her before my real mother died. Mom says she never saw something so beautiful until she laid eyes on me. The way Mom looked at me, I guess my real mother knew, her last wish was for Mom to take me and raise me. She never mentioned about David. Somehow David got sent to live with our grandfather, Sam Trueheart, I guess when he found out my mother had died he assumed the baby was lost too. So, I got a brother and a grandpa after all these years." It wasn't until last spring when Tommy found his brother and grandfather. David always believed Tommy was alive, and started his own search as he got older. David gave Tommy many of their mother's things, the pink 4.2 carat diamond ring being one of them.
"I'm soo sorry, Tommy. Your poor mother and your father...to lose them like that."
"Hey, it's a sad story, but it had mostly happy stories. I love my Mom and Dad, all 4 of them, they gave so much for me. I would have loved to have time with my real mother, but I wouldn't give up Mom or Dad. They were the best things to happy to me." He looked down at her. "Besides, you." They kissed. "I am blessed." Kim kissed him again. "I love you."
"I love you too," Kim whispered before kissing him again.
"So, tell me, what were you thinking about earlier?"
"It seems all too unimportant now."
"No, tell me."
"I just...I miss it, I miss gymnastic, but....do I really miss it?" Kimberly asked, not just Tommy, but herself.
"You miss the drive, competition, right?"
"I think so. I sure don't miss the constant aches and pains." Kim laughed.
"I know what you need."
"What?"
"This meet."
"Wha?"
"We need to push and make this meet next Thursday."
"I don't have any programs or..."
"So!"
"I need 4 exercises done by Monday!"
"We can do this."
"Tommy, I couldn't possibly..."
"Yea, you can and you will. I'm gonna make sure."

10:15 am

Tommy had returned from a quick walk with the puppies. Kimberly was awaiting on the printer, as she blow dried her hair. Already dressed, in white shirt, butterfly embroidered jeans and natural braided platforms. Her paper for Writing class was taking longer than normal to print.
"Gosh, come on!" Kim yelled. Tommy came into the room, nearly ready to go.
"How's the paper?"
"Still printing, we need to upgrade baby."
"Hey, I got that printer free with my computer."
"Figures." The last page came out. "Finally!" Kim stapled her paper and put it inside her bag. "Dash and Napoleon, stay. Did they go?"
"Yep, 2 number 1s and Dash did a little number 2." Kim smiled. The door bell buzzed.
"I'll get it," Kimberly said carrying out her bookbag. She opened it and gasped. "Tyler?"
"Hi, someone was coming in, so I just came up. Hey."
"Hi. What's are you doing here?" He pulled out some keys and dangled them.
"Brought your car."
"My car? My Car! Oh, come in!" Tyler laughed as she hugged him. "Come in! Tommy! Tommy!" Tommy came out stapling his paper. "Tyler is here and he has Betsy!"
"Great." Dash and Napoleon came running out and around.
"Dash down!" Kim reached down and pulled him off Tyler's leg. "Sorry, he's still a pup."
"It's okay. He's is cute." Tyler took the puppy and gave her the keys.
"Oh, this is great! I wasn't expecting this for weeks!"
"I made sure they worked faster than the norm for you."
"Thanks. Did you bring the bill?"
"No, sorry."
"That's okay. I guess they will send me one."
"Not exactly."
"Why not?"
"I sort of paid it already?"
"What? Why?"
"Because, it was my fault about the car, everything."
"Hey, man. I was the one driving. If anything, I should be the one paying the bill,"Tommy said.
"Nah, I know you wouldn't have left if it was wasn't for me." Kimberly picked up Napoleon.
"Can I see her?"
"Parked her out front."
"Great!" Kim hopped out with Tyler and Tommy following. Tommy grabbed Tyler's keys on the way out. Kim walked around her car. It looked brand new. She hit the alarm and got inside the car. She started it, all windows rolling down. "Oh wow! It's like new! The stereo! Tinted windows. Thank you." Kim got out and hugged Tyler. "Thank you soo much."
"No problem. I'm glad it's too your liking." Tommy dislike the way Tyler held on to Kimberly.
"So, I'm guessing you will be heading out now?" Kimberly pulled away and checked over her car again. Tyler caught the keys Tommy tossed to him.
"In a little while. I haven't seen LA in years, since I dropped out of UCLA."
"You went to UCLA?" Kimberly asked taking Dash from him.
"Yea, 2 years, but I didn't like it so I left. College, not my thing. I love the mountains, snow. City life, hot weather, you can have it. I'll just vacation here."
"And we go to mountains to vacation," Kim said smiling. "This is just...so wow."
"How long are you staying?" Kim looked at Tommy.
"For a while."
"Great," Kim added. "We all need to hang, show you how much it has changed."
"OH, I would love that."
"Kim, we have class."
"Right. Once again, thank you, Tyler." Tyler pulled his few bags from his car after they hugged again. Tommy and Tyler shook hands, though Tommy held his hand a little tight. Tyler got into his car and watched the couple walk back toward their door. Tommy had his arm over Kim's shoulders as she turned to wave goodbye to him.
"Soon, very soon..Kimberly."

Next day

Kimberly got out of classes pretty early Friday, around 11am. Dressed in multi-striped halter, aqua miniskirt and white/blue Skechers trial runner. She came in and found the loft empty after dropping Aisha off to the apartment. She decided to take the puppies on a walk. . As she opened the door downstairs, the puppies on their chains trying to run out, Tyler stood at the intercom. Kim smiled and invited him on a walk. Tommy was in his room, when he heard laughing and talking. He came out to find Kimberly had returned, eating ice cream with Tyler.
"Hey!"
"Hey. Did you not get any of my calls?"
"Sorry, my cell is in the car." She kissed his cheek. "We were walking around soo much. I was showing Tyler the campus and our favorite restaurants. He claims so much as changed since he was here just 2 years ago."
"Aisha wanted to know if you were still thinking about joining her tonight."
"Oh, right. I was suppose to call her." Kimberly took the chains off the puppies and hung them up. "Tyler make yourself at home.
"Right." He went, calling for the puppies. Tommy rolled his eyes. Aisha wanted to have a girlie night and go partying after dinner to celebrate the engagement of the couple.

8:30 pm

Dinner at the restaurant was very interesting. Tommy spending most his time, watching Tyler and his fiancé, flirt, 90% Tyler toward Kimberly.
"So, how does this engagement really feel?"
"Good," Kimberly said curling Aisha's hair. Just in her white string bikini. Party was going to be the last pool bash since it was December 1st. Aisha sat in her white and yellow striped bikini. Neither having spoken to Jason since the fight. Tommy came into the room sighing. Party started at 8, neither girls close to being ready.
"Don't start," Kim said holding the curler out to him. "We are coming, just 5 more minutes."
"Yea, 5 more minutes, heard that about 20 minutes ago."
"OUT!" Tommy held up his hands and closed the door.
"It'll be about another 30 minutes."
"I heard that!" Kim yelled through the door. Kimberly put on her pink velour hoodie and drawstring shorts with purple suede sneakers. Aisha in a yellow suit, just the same as Kimberly's, just with pink suede sneakers. (THINK: J.LO in "I'm real" video :)
"Ta da!" Kimberly and Aisha said coming out the room. Tommy clapped.
"Only 10 minutes, close." Kim made a face at him. They went to the pool bash. Tyler joined th party with a call from Katherine. Somehow, someway, Tommy ended up getting into a fight with Kimberly. That was the quietest ride home ever. Tommy got his door slammed in his face. He opened it and found Kimberly pulling off her wet hoodie and shorts. Tommy quickly touched and grabbed her waist from behind. His face went into her neck, where he kissed several times before turning her around to face him. He held her face.
"I'm sorry."
"You should be." Her hands went to his wrists and pulled his hands away. "Dickhead." She went to walk away when Tommy grabbed her arm. He stopped her and took both her hands into his hands. He raised her hands and kissed each of them. Kim looked at him with those brown eyes and smiled. "But I love you. Always will."
"I know. I love you too." He kissed her forehead. They fell to the bed, kissing, made love and fall asleep in each other's arms.


Next day
11 am
Tommy had to go drop off some paperwork for his uncle and would be gone all of Saturday, until late night. Kimberly sat on the counter, her guitar out, as she played. There was a buzz at the door. She sighed, stuck on a note. Kimberly put her guitar down and scratched out a line on a piece of paper. Kimberly pulled down her rainbow muscle tee and hopped down. She fixed her white skirt with rainbow waistband. She went to the door. Kimberly found it was Tyler.
"So, where did you disappear last night?"
"Uh, Tommy wasn't digging the party. We left early."
"Oh, what a shame. I missed my dance, there was some great music. Party didn't end until 4."
"Wow." Tyler saw her guitar out, sheet music around with a notebook.
"Nice guitar." Kimberly slipped into her navy flip flops.
"Thanks."
"You play?"
"Uh, yea. A little." He looked through the music.
"I’d say, more than a little." Tyler picked up her guitar and started playing.
"Wow. What was that?"
"You mean this." Tyler played again. "Just something I know." Tyler looked over her paper and started playing, adding a little bit more.
"Oh, I've working on a new line for nearly 20 minutes, thanks for the idea."
"No problem. Guitar has a great sound."
"Hey, I've got another one, want to play?"
"Sure, I would love to. I've been working on some music as well recently. Let's do it."
"Yea."

2 pm

Tyler watched Kimberly as they played together. They had been playing this sessions for nearly 3 hours. Kimberly was working on a new song.
"A moment like this. Some people wait a lifetime, for a moment like this. Some people search forever, for that one special kiss....Some people wait a lifetime, for a moment, like this." Tyler reached forward quickly and kissed Kimberly. She was sitting on the coffee table across from him on the couch. Kimberly pulled back.
"Wha..why did you....did you..."
"I thought..."
"You were wrong." Kimberly quickly put the guitar on the table and stood up. She rubbed her forehead. "You need to go."
"NOW?!"
"Yes." Kimberly quickly went to the door. She pushed Dash and Napoleon back with her foot. "Now."
"Kimberly, wait..I..." Tyler got up and went to her.
"You kissed me!! Tommy and I are....I'm engaged! I love Tommy!" She held up her left hand to his face after opening the door. "I love..." Tyler grabbed her face and kissed her, much more deeper.........


Kimberly's hands moved to Tyler's face. Then it snapped in her head, not Tommy, not Tommy! Kimberly pulled away after a good minute of kissing.
"No, No, no this...this can't be happening."
"Why not?"
"Please, go."
"Kim, I felt it. I know you feel it. Just try and let go of..." Flashes of Tommy came to Kim's mind.
"I-I love Tommy." That slight hesitation in her voice, Tyler felt it.
"Prove it." Tyler grabbed her face and kissed her again. Kimberly pulled away and shoved Tyler out the door. She slammed the door as she watched him try and get up quickly.
"Go away, Tyler." Kimberly yelled as he started pounding on the door. Her back to the door.
"Kim, don't do this! Let go of any fear, I like you, I know you like me, I can tell from just that kiss. You are surprised, yea, but you can't deny me. That kiss gave you something."
"I already have everything, Tyler. I love Tommy, I will always love Tommy, nothing you can say or do will ever change that. So, Please, just go."
"This is not over with, Kimberly."
"It was nothing to start with." Kimberly walked from the door.

^"Hello?" Aisha was in the laundry mat when her cell phone went off.^
"He kissed me."
^Hello? Kim? WHO?" ^
"Tyler, Sha."
^"What?" ^
"We were playing music, and I don't know, he just kissed me!"
^"Where are you?" ^
"The loft."
^"Is he gone?" ^
"I shoved him out. Aisha, what am I going to do?"
^"What do you think? You cannot tell Tommy! He'll kill Tyler!!" ^
"I know, I know! But if I don't and he finds out..."
^"He won't from me! And Tyler would be crazy to tell him." ^
"Aisha, I think I kissed him back."
^"Wha....?"^
"I said I think.."
^"I heard you! I'm coming over!" ^

5pm

Kimberly was on bars, dressed in white sports bra, pink tights and navy sleeveless hoodie. After a long conversation with Aisha. She had to get out the loft, get away for a while to think. She went to the gym to work on her 4 new programs that she and Tommy designed together one late night a few days ago. She had arrived about 4 pm. Coach Thorne talking her through the routine, pointing out any errors. After about 40 minutes walking Coach Blair and Thorne through every aspect of her beam routine and doing 5 clean vaults, she moved to floor nearly another hour showing that new program. And finally on bars to end the evening.


8pm

Tommy sneaked into the shower stall with Kimberly. She had returned from the gym and went straight for the shower. She hadn't heard Tommy come in. Kim screamed and shoved Tommy off her.
"Wow, babe, sorry!"
"Don't do that!" Tommy grabbed her hips and pulled her back.
"Sorry. Are you okay?" Kim's head was down. "What's wrong, Beautiful."
"I'm fine." He lifted her head. "Just a little headache, long practice." She turned off the water. They both toweled off. Kimberly slipped into her pink tank, and Gizmo PJ pants.
"Did you get to show your programs to the Coaches?"
"Yea, all 3, even got 2 different vaults down for Thursday."
"That's great!"
"Beam was good, so was floor. Timing is a little off for bars, so I had to work, real, real hard. I hope Sunday and Monday will get any problems corrected, so Tuesday and Wednesday won't be so rough."
"You'll get it, trust me. So did you miss me."
"What?"
"Did you miss me?"
"Oh, right...yea."
"Wow, nice."
"Sorry, just hungry and tired, I guess."
"I'll go get you a Lean Cuisine and diet Dr. Pepper. Go lay down." Kim grabbed his arm and stopped him.
"What?" She hugged him. "Baby, what's wrong?"
"Nothing. I love you, only you."
"I love you too." He kissed her head and hugged her tightly.

Next Morning
7:45 am

Tommy rubbed down Kim's wet hair. They were running late as usual. It was Sunday, for the first time in a while, Aisha convinced them to go to a church with her. With finals coming up, a little prayer here and there would do wonders for the soul.
"Tommy! Stop that!" Kim pushed his head away as his lips found her neck again. "We don't have time!"
"We can make time!"
"We are sooo late!" Tommy picked her up and they fell to the bed kissing. "You are so gonna get it from Aisha."
"Oh, this is well worth it." Kimberly and Tommy hurried and slipped into her outfit, lavender cami, pink cardigan, black skirt and black slingbacks. They arrived, running from the car to the doors. They sneaked down and found Aisha.
"SO LATE!" She whispered.
"All him," Kim whispered back taking the book.
"Right." Aisha handed over a book to Tommy and pointed where they were.

12pm

After a brunch, Tommy followed Kimberly to the gym. He stood beside the beam as Kimberly, dressed in navy sports bra, white tank, and pink shorts, was going through her difficult in the eyes of collegiate sports, but simple beam. After mounting the beam, she did her difficult jumps, dance steps, beautiful double spin, combination, 2 back walkovers, only thing left, the dismount. Kimberly ended with a front double flip. Taking a tiny step forward. Tommy clapped.
"That was amazing."
"I messed up my switch jump into back flip. And wobbled on my push into dismount."
"Yea, but for someone who has had only a few hours of training, not bad." Tommy handed her some water.
"Thanks." They moved to floor. Kim wanted an upbeat techno song, and got it. Coach Blair Henderson thought 4 passes where gonna be a little much, but Kimberly assured her she was ready. Her first 2 passes, back to back, double layout ending on the other side in a 2 ½ twist. Kimberly ended her 90 second routine with a simple pike. Tommy looked at his watch. Kimberly continued on training and perfecting her programs for the upcoming Thursday meet.
"So, I was thinking about taking you out to tonight."
"Like a date?"
"Duh, Like a date. To celebrate our engagement."
"We did that Friday." Kimberly reached down and picked her armbands she dropped.
"With friends. Not just us."
"Sounds great." They kissed. Tommy took the tape she tore off her wrists. "But I need a serious nap first."
"We can do that." Kimberly looked at her watch, it read just 4:20pm. "I'll even massage your back and foot."
"Oh, you are just too good. I love you." They kissed.
"I love you too."

7pm
Kimberly walked into the Asian restaurant, holding Tommy's arm, as he opened the door and led her inside. Dressed in a magenta halter dress and gold thongs. Tommy pulled out her chair for her.
"Oh wow. This place is amazing." Asian restaurant had a unique decoration of Japanese custom with swords, costumes, Japanese symbols throughout.
"Thanks. I figured we have had enough pizza, Subway, Burger King, White Castle and whatever else we usually eat."
"So true." After a nice dinner, Tommy and Kimberly returned to the loft and straight to Tommy's room after taking the puppies on their night stroll around.
Kimberly gasped and sat up from a nightmare that night. She woke to kissing Tyler. Kimberly laid back down to her back, only to wake Tommy.
"Hey."
"Hey," she whispered back.
"Something wrong?"
"Nothing." She turned to him. She smiled, but it faded when a flash of Tyler's face replaced Tommy's face.
"Liar. What scared you?" Tommy saw her slightly gasp.
"Silly dream."
"About what?"
"Silly thing." She touched his face, and smiled. "Stupid thing." Tyler's face reappeared. Kim closed her eyes.
"Kim? Kimberly?" She opened her eyes and smiled. She moved into Tommy's body.
"I love you." Her face in his neck. "I love you soo much." Tommy's arm went around her. "Only you."
"I know. I love you too, Beautiful." He kissed her forehead and they fell back asleep.

Next day
10 am

Kimberly sat in Chemistry class. Rocky beside her taking notes. All students were in their last full week of classes for the fall semester. Next Saturday, December 16th, first exam would be given out until Wednesday. Rocky looked over to find Kimberly drawing. Dressed in white tank, blue denim jeans, and white/pink flip flops.
"Gonna doodle all class?"
"Huh?" Kimberly looked down to see the top of her page fulled with notes, but then empty other than the drawings. "Oh right." Kimberly looked up at the board and started taking more notes.

1pm

Dance class was excused, so students could have all the time to practice for next weeks final. Aisha and Kimberly went back to the girl's suite to dance. Kimberly slipped from her jeans into black board shorts. Aisha loaded the CD.
"We got this, right.?"
"Yea, of course." They had just gone through their sweet dance choreography to Mariah's 'Honey' the remix.
"Then what's on your mind?"
"What?"
"Or should I even ask?" Aisha could tell Kimberly wasn't really into the dance.
"I love Tommy."
"I didn't ask that. I know you do, but there is something about Tyler, right?"
"He's a...the way he played guitar, Sha. Such passion and spirit, and he even...what am I saying?"
"You Like him."
"NO!!"
"Kim, look at me, you may not want to admit it, but you do."
"Aisha, please. I love Tommy, only him!"
"I'm not talking about love here. But there is a connection."
"Tyler is just...he's this...Like a great memory." Kimberly slipped on her jeans and back into her flip flops. "A memory that I just have to let go and forget about. A memory, that's all he will ever be." Aisha looked at her. She could tell Kimberly was lying to herself, but she always knew Kim was the type to be stern and stubborn with her decisions, no matter how good or bad they might appear. "I'll see you later."
"Okay." Katherine stood by her slightly open door smiling. She listen to Kim and Aisha's whole conversation.
"It's working," she said with great satisfaction.

9pm

Tommy was at his computer typing up some homework for Writing class. Kimberly came out the bathroom. She had decided before going into the bathroom, she wanted to make tonight all about her and Tommy, and their love. She came out in a red cheetah mesh babydoll. Tommy looked back from his computer screen and whistled.
"Wow, Kimberly, that...you..you are soo beautiful." She smiled.
"This thing. I just wanted to try it out tonight. Want to break it in?"
"Gladly." Tommy saved his work as the light went off.
"So, I was thinking about apologizing to Tyler?"
"Why?" Kimberly said stroking Tommy's bare chest and shoulder.
"Well, I was wrong to yell at him. We...I should have trusted us, you, and him. I know you love me and I shouldn't doubt that."
"Don't talk to Tyler."
"Why not?"
"He knows and understands."
"He does? Did you talk to him?"
"He came by Saturday for a while and we talked."
"Oh, that's good."
"Yea." Kimberly raised her head. "Are you happy?"
"Every second with you."
"Good answer, I'd give you an A." They laughed. "I love you."
"I love you, Beautiful." They kissed. They went to bed.

Next day

Kimberly loved Tuesdays and Thursdays, only Writing and labs. Tommy was out walking the dogs as she got breakfast, dressed in lt purple tee, black jeans and black combat boots. Before lab at 1:30, Kimberly waiting on Tommy to get lunch. She noticed Tyler and tried to act as if she didn't. He came over.
"Hi."
"Hi."
"Uh, I feel Like you've been advoiding me."
"I have."
"Why?"
"You kissed me, Tyler."
"And."
"I have a fiancé. And he's coming. You should go."
"Kimberly, come on, don't do this. I know what you feel."
"You know nothing! Leave." Tommy walked over carrying a tray.
"Hey. Hey, Tyler." He put the tray to the table as he kissed Kim's cheek.
"Hi, Tommy." Tommy sat down.
"Look, I know Kimberly already apologized."
"For what?"
"You know, man. Look, I just wanted to say I'm sorry."
"It's nothing, man. Trust me."
"Why don't you join us For lunch. Sit."
"I would.."
"I'm sure Tyler has other plans."
"Actually..." Kim glared at him. "I do." Tyler smiled. "Sorry, another time. I'll see you guys later. Bye."
"Bye."
"Bye," Kim said quickly. Tyler walked away. He looked back to see Tommy handing out some food. Tyler and Kim locked eyes.
"I got that cherry jello."
"Wha..oh, thanks." She took the glass.

8pm

Kimberly sat in the bar/restaurant near campus. It was a hot spot For college students called 5 Hill, local bar. She left the library earlier, she lied saying she wanted to train, but went home just to be alone. Dressed in white smocked off-the-shoulder top, spearmint pants, with embroidery and legs gathering at front, and black leather combat boots. Tyler got a message to check out 5 Hill tonight. Kimberly got up to get another diet soda. She turned around after getting the glass to find Tyler.
"What are you doing here?"
"It's a free place."
"This is borderline stalking!" Tyler simply smiled. Tommy arrived outside the bar. Katherine stood outside waiting on him. Tanya and Rocky had just gone inside.
"Hey, Tommy."
"Oh, hey, Katherine." Katherine smiled. Tommy opened the door For her. They stood in the doorway only to see arguing between Kimberly and Tyler. "What in the world?"
"Kim didn't tell you?"
"Tell me what?" Tommy looked at Katherine.
"Tyler and Kim kissed, Saturday." Tommy turned back to Kimberly and Tyler. "Twice, or was it three times." Katherine looked at Tommy. "Oh, she didn't tell you." Tyler grabbed Kim's face to hush her and kissed her. Tommy rushed inside and to them. He pulled Tyler off Kimberly and punched him. As the fight started, cops were called.
Kimberly was on her knees holding Tyler's head in her lap. Blood all on her hands and front of her top and pants.
"What the fuck is your problem?!! How could you do that?!!" She rubbed Tyler's head. "He means nothing!"
"He kissed you!"
"It was a kiss, nothing more! It meant nothing! I was handling it!" 2 cops cuffed Tommy after pulling him off Tyler. An ambulance was called. Tyler took Kim's hand. "Tyler, stay with me. Tyler, just breath." 2 paramedics came in.
"Miss, we have to handle this now."
"Just help him!" Tommy was having his rights read to him as he looked over to see Kimberly holding Tyler's hand as the stretcher was being rolled out the bar into the ambulance. Kimberly stopped and saw Tommy.
"Miss, are you coming?" Tommy's head was pushed down as he got into the cop car.
"Yes." She hopped inside. Tommy's eyes never left Kimberly as she jumped up into the car. The doors on the ambulance was closed and it pulled off.
"Oh god," Aisha said holding her head. "What the fuck?" Jason put his arm around her. "What are we going to do?"
