CHAPTER 9

"It's too quiet in there," Jason said.

"It's happening."

"What?"

"They are getting back together."

"Or they have killed each other," Katherine said. She went over to the door.

"What are you doing!"

"Someone has to check to make sure she hasn't killed him! Besides, she shouldn't be in there with him!" Katherine opened the door and gasped. Everyone ran over to the opened door. Aisha smiled. Tommy and Kimberly were kissing. Tommy pulled his shirt off and tossed it backwards, hitting Katherine in the face. Adam being the only shy and descent one, closed the door finally as Tommy tore Kim's tank off and they fell to his bed.

"I knew it," Aisha said. "Those 2 belong together." Katherine grabbed her purse and left the loft quickly. "Poor Kat." Aisha smiled.

"Don't even," Tanya said. "She doesn't deserve that."

"Oh, and they do!"

"Whatever." Tanya grabbed her purse and left.

"Should I go or..." Rocky grabbed his keys. "Tanya, wait up!" He quickly ran out.

Kimberly moaned as Tommy's lips found her neck again. Tommy quickly tugged her pants and thong off. He kissed down her chest, down her ribs, stomach, waist. He stood up quickly and ripped his jeans off and boxers. Kimberly got up on her knees and helped him. Tommy quicky pushed Kimberly down to her back and slid inside her. Kimberly went to kiss him, but Tommy moved away. Kim reached up again, but Tommy, open-mouth, pulled away. Kim smiled and they kissed finally. Tommy made sure to pull away and take her bottom lip into his mouth. He kissed down her cheek and chin. Kim moaned loudly, gripping the sheets. Tommy turned her head up. They kissed.

Many positions, many orgasms, many many orgasms, later, Tommy finally collapsed on Kimberly. They hugged and kissed. And finally fell asleep hugging each other, as it should be.

"Hey, where are you going?" Kimberly woke up to find Tommy sitting on the bed, his hands covering his eyes. He stood up, sliding his boxers and pantson him. He sat back down on the bed. Kimberly sat up and hugged him from behind. "That was soo amazing. Making love to you again." She started kissing his neck. "God, how I have missed you." Tommy pulled her arms off him. Kimberly pulled the sheet to cover her chest. "What's wrong?"

"This was a mistake." Tommy stood up rubbing the back of his head and neck.

"Wha..wait...a mistake?"

"Yes. I shouldn't have..we shouldn't ha..."

"No. Wait, please, Tommy. Let's just talk.." She started crying. "Can we just talk?" She stood up and tried to pull to toward her.

"NO! This was a mistake!"

"How can you say that!"

"Because it's true." Tommy took her hands. "This can't happen. We can't be together, Kimberly. Not like this."

"Okay, you're not ready. I understand, we don't have to have sex every, we can.." Tommy shook his head. "I know you love me. I felt it. I feel it right now."

"Kimberly..." She grabbed his face and kissed him. Tommy pulled her hands down and held them. "No, you have to go."

"Why...why are you doing this!"

"Kim, don't, okay. Just go!"

"NO!" She hit his chest. "NO! I love you and you love me!" Tommy grabbed her wrists.

"Don't make this harder."

"If you tell me you don't love. Tell me you don't love me! I'll go! I'll go and never look back." A long pause. Tommy let go of her hands finally and held her face.

"From the moment I looked up and saw you holding his hand, so filled with concern, I realized I didn't know you."

"I want just..."

"Shh...when you got in that ambulance and left me, it broke my heart, worst than any letter could ever. You chose him over me in that moment."

"I would never choose another guy over you! I love you!"

"Shh...listen, that night, you did. And because of that, we can't be together."

"Why not!"

"Because I don't love you the same way anymore." It was as if everything went black. Kim's heart, mind, vision dimmed. She closed her eyes and stepped back away from him. Tommy remembered that look. She gave it to him that night they fought back in October. He swore never to allow her to feel that way again. She covered her mouth with her left hand. Kim sat on the bed crying. Tommy sat down beside her. "I'm soo sorry. I just can't be with you, I can't love you with so much anger. All I see is you leaving me to be with him."

"But I don't love..."

"Shhh...I need time apart for you, from us. Please, understand that I can't be with you." Kimberly reached down and grabbed her tank and pants. "Are you okay?" Kimberly quickly stood up and got dressed.

"I'm sorry. I wasted your..I won't...I won't ever do..do it again." She slid off the ring and dropped it to the bed. Tommy went to grabbed her, but Kimberly pulled away. She picked up her boots. "Goodbye, Tommy." She opened the door. Jason was doing laundry when he saw her.

"Hey, hey, what's wrong?"

"Oh god!" She cried on his shoulder as he came over. "I really lost him! I lost him!"

"Oh Kim." Jason called Aisha. Aisha rushed over. She let Kimberly lean on her as they went back to the flat. Kimberly collapsed to her bed.

"Do you want anything?"

"Alone. I just want to be alone, okay."

"Okay, for a little while. I'll be back."

Next day

Aisha came into Kim's room.

"Hey, it's 10. You gonna get up for class?"

"Huh, oh, right, class."

"I could turn in your paper and do your Biology lab if you want to just stay."

"No, I can get up. I should get up. I'll get up." Kimberly went and showered. She got dressed.

3pm

Kimberly went to get the puppies. Just as she had Dash in her dog carrier bag, when Tommy came out his room.

"What are you doing?" Kimberly jumped and gasped.

"I didn't know anyone was here."

"What are you doing?"

"I was gonna take Dash and Napoleon for a walk and.."

"No. Don't. They are fine here."

"What?"

"I just walked them already."

"Okay. I can still take them out."

"NO."

"So I can't take my puppies?"

"My puppies."

"Excuse me?"

"I paid for them, they stay here."

"You paid...for...you paid..." Kimberly pulled Dash from the bag. "That is absolutely fine. Fine." She started picking up the other dog things.

"What are you doing?"

"I paid for the beds, the toys, bowls, all the food, so I should be able to take it right!" Aisha came into the loft.

"What is taking you soo long? Uh.." She found Kimberly picking up dogs things and placing them into the kitchen dog bed

"Get the dog bed in the bedroom!" Kim yelled.

"Okay." Aisha went toward Tommy's room.

"Okay, okay. Fine, take them! I don't care!" Aisha came out carrying the bed. Kimberly crying now, she dropped the bowls and toys and picked up the puppies as she ran out. Aisha put the bed down.

"You know, one day, you are going to say or do something and I'm really gonna not hold my tongue or fists back. You arethe biggestdick. You are a trueasshole. She is too good for this. She is too good for you." Aisha slammed the door as she left. Tommy looked down. He picked up a dog toy. She was right and it was just as much as a torture to him as what he was putting Kimberly threw. But at least, he didn't have to be doing this, he just couldn't see why he couldn't simply take her in his arms. Tears formed in his eyes as he dropped the toy and walked to his room.

2 days later

6:59 am

Kimberly laid on her back in bed looking up at the ceiling. She noticed her clock change to 7 am. Another sleepless hour has passed. Puppies asleep in her bed. Kimberly rubbed their heads. Dash woke first.

"Hey baby." He sniffed around, moving up to her face. He licked her face. Global exam was delayed until 9 am. Professor figured the exam should take hours at the most to complete. Kimberly took the puppies on a walk first before she went to shower. Dressed in peach floral shirt, white long wrap-around skirt and black velvet Kung Fu shoes. Kimberly sat at the counter review notes when Aisha came out her room, looking very sleepily.

"Morning."

"Morning," Kim replied. Aisha made some tea.

"Think you are ready?"

"Pretty much." Kim poured more OJ into her cup. "Country locations are fine, but damn all these dates." Aisha laughed.

"I hear ya. Want breakfast?"

"Can we get McDonalds?"

"Of course." Kim smiled. "Why don't we go to the beach for a little R&R."

"After global?"

"Yea."

"I can't, I have to go see Tyler."

"Okay, we can after that."

"Okay. Can we bring Dash and Napoleon?"

"Sure, besides, we can't leave them with the big-bad evil Tommy." Aisha lifted Dash and made a face at him.

"Tommy is not evil."

"Yea, you keep thinking back." Aisha put Dash down. Kimberly locked the dogs in her room in an area made for them to keep them from peeing all over her room. Aisha wanted to go to class early for a quick cram session. Kimberly yawned again as the exam was placed on her desk.

"Wow, didn't think my exam required that much lack of sleep to study?" Kim smiled.

"Sorry! Long night."

"Good luck, Kim."

"Thanks." Kimberly picked up her pencil and opened her blue notebook. She smiled, her first college exam.

1pm

Aisha finally found a spot in the hot sand to set up for them. She laid out the 2 towels near an empty huge umbrella. Kimberly tied the puppies the pole and put down 2 bowls of fresh cold water for them. Dressed in a black double strap dress and black flip flops, she sat down.

"Gonna tan in that?" Aisha pulled her shorts off.

"Oh, right." Kim laughed and pulled her dress off, revealing the pink halter apron top with black boyshorts bathing suit. The girls relaxed for a while. Aisha took a long nap, leaving Kimberly playing and running around with puppies. She borrowed a board and put them on it taking them out to the water. Napoleon didn't like the water as much. Kimberly had to keep an eye on Dash. He would often jump into the water with no fear. Aisha woke from her nap and went to play with them.

7pm

Kimberly was sitting on the floor, her Chemistry notes scattered on the coffee table, as she tossed the ball and toy around with the puppies that were running around. Aisha came over and sat on the table.

"You know Brian?"

"The TA, yea."

"He has a study session tonight, let's go." Kimberly, still in her bathing suit, shook her head.

"We are going to the one tomorrow at 4."

"Why not tonight and tomorrow?"

"Aisha, we are going to do fine. Besides it will be fresher tomorrow."

"But it will also be crowded tomorrow."

"Fine." Kimberly knew not to fight with Aisha and studying. She slipped her dress back on and put on her flip flops. She pushed the puppies into her room and picked up her stack of Chemistry notes and the book. They left for the library.

11 pm

Kimberly sat at her window, staring out into the night. Aisha knocked on her door.

"Yea."

"Oh, you are awake?" Aisha said coming inside. "Jason brought some movies and popcorn."

"Nah, it's my turn in the library." Kimberly stood and stretched. Dressed in PJ's, blue/yellow plaid sleepshirt and pink shorts. "I should go take over for Rocky." She started packing up her things. "Goodnight."

"Goodnight."

Next day

The library has been packed since last Friday. Exam time, it was open 24 hours now. The guys have saved 2 rooms that were joined together, one person would rotate in to keep the rooms to them instead of losing it and having to fight for library space. Kimberly allowed Rocky to go home for the night as she took over. Kimberly sneaked the puppies inside. Instead of sleeping like them, she turned the lights on low and studied. The puppies slept throughthe night. Kimberly got up and used the woman's bathroom to change at around 6am. She put on her grey hoodie, multi striped pants and blue flip flops, after brushing her teeth and washing her face. She applied little make-up and put her hair up into a messy ponytail. Another girl beside her do the same, brushing her teeth. Kimberly smiled and picked up her bag.

"Good luck."

"You too."

1pm

"Break," Rocky said. "I need food and tons of it!"

"You just got to Chapter 6! Come on, at least until 10."

"Kimberly, we've been doing at this for 3 hours. I am a machine that needs fuel."

"Yea, a break would be nice."

"I agree," Jason said. Though they were all taking the same courses just at different times, exams were easy to study together, with all of them knowing the same test will be given to them. Kimberly shared Chemistry class with Rocky only at 9, the rest having the 11 o' clock Chem class. Aisha shared lab with them in the afternoon, the rest at the night Chem lab. Kimberly and Tommy were the only ones to get into the 10 am Writing class, the rest had the 8 am one on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Aisha, Jason and Kimberly got into the 11 Global, the rest at the 2 pm class. Kimberly and Aisha had Dance at that time on Mondays and Wednesdays. Only the Writing class had separate professors, but basically did the same work, just with different angles and stories.

"All agreed then, let's break."

"Who will stay in the rooms?"

"NOT ME!" Rocky said getting up quickly.

"Let's just sneak like 2 pies upstairs," Kimberly said.

"And Chinese!"

"And Chinese?"

"Okay. I'll stay," Aisha said. "Make sure the bread sticks are burnt like last time."

Next day

Kimberly was the only one in the library the next morning. Everyone had gone home to bed. Kimberly claimed she was the only one small enough to sleep in the chair, so she was willing to stay again. Rocky came by around 6:30 am

"You're up?" Kim yawned.

"Yep."

"Go home, shower, I got the room." Their chemistry test was at 11.

"Okay." Kimberly packed the dogs and grabbed her bag to change. Kimberly came downstairs to see the Chemistry teacher.

"Hello, Kimberly." He was making copies.

"Hi, Professor Karty."

"You ready?"

"Pretty much. Little nervous."

"Don't be. You have had great test grades all semester. A's, don't wor..." Kim yawned again, tears rolling down her face.

"Sorry."

"Wow, have you been up all night?"

"A little."

"You have an exam before Chemistry?"

"Yea, College Writing at 8. But Professor swears won't take any longer than 2 hours."

"Good, go, get some rest. A quick 20, 30 minute nap will do wonders, trust me."

"I'll try. See ya at 11."

"Bye."

>

8 am

Kimberly took a seat in her Writing class. Unlike global, the Professors hadn't combined all the classes into the hall to take the exam as a whole. Professor Watts laid on the exams at every desk. Kimberly sat across from Tommy. After the exam, Kimberly was walking out, when Tommy bumped into her, her book and notes fell to the ground.

"Sorry," they both said. Tommy bent down with her, picking up papers for her. Their hands touched. Tommy found himself looking into tired eyes, Kimberly the same.

"Thanks. I gotta go. Bye."

"Bye," he said standing up first. Tommy went to talk to Dr. Jones.

>
>

11am

Kimberly sat in her desk besides Aisha, Rocky in front of them. Professor Karty was late, as usual. He walked in finally.

"Well, you all have it here, great." Kimberly tapped her foot. Rocky reached back and grabbed her leg.

"You'll do fine."

"Thanks. Good luck."

"You too," he whispered.

After the exam, Kimberly followed Rocky to the lab exam room. Exam wasn't until 3, it was just 1:30 pm. Aisha went to get some lunch while they saved her a spot.

"Man, you think the lab exam is going to be as touch as that exam was?"

"Hope not."

"Man, that was brutal. I think I missed that ICE question."

"How about converges?"

"All of those." Kim laughed, then tears formed in her eyes.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just think I failed." She tried to laughed and wipe the tears away.

"Kimberly." Rocky put his arms around her. Professor Karty came by to find Kim crying.

"Rocky? Kimberly?" They pulled apart. Kim continued to wipe her, but more tears fell. "You okay?"

"Yea, just being silly I guess. Lack of sleep must be catching up."

"When did you last get some sleep?"

"Saturday, I guess." Kim lied.

"Go home. Take the exam tomorrow."

"What? No, Professor I'm fine. I can take the exam."

"You are exhausted. You have taken 2 already, school policy allows you only 2 a day, I can give it to you anytime tomorrow. Go."

"If I go home, now, I won't better tomorrow. At least my next exam isn't until Wednesday. I'll rest tonight and tomorrow."

"Okay."

4:45 pm

Kimberly was playing with the puppies, crying once again. Lab barely took an hour, everyone was very glad, especially Rocky. Tommy came by the loft, thinking everyone was gone out, his Chemistry lab was at 6, he wanted to take the puppies out, or that's what he told himself, he really wanted to see Kimberly. Dr. Jones had told him, he was fooling himself, if he thought he and Kimberly were threw. It was up to him to suck it up, stop whining, and open his heart back to her again. Let go of the mistakes, his mistakes, hers, all of the ones they made. Tommy went into Kim's room.

"Sorry!"

"Sok, Uh, come in!" Kimberly yelled trying to wipe her eyes again.

"I was just coming to take pups on a walk, I'll get them later."

"No, you can take them now." She wiped her eyes.

"No, you keep them. I'll come back tomorrow."

"Okay."

"Are you okay?"

"Yea!"

"I'll be by tomorrow. Bye."

"Okay, bye." Tommy closed the door. He sighed. Aisha couldn't get Kimberly to come out for dinner. Tommy overhead her telling Jason she found Kimberly crying. Tommy decided to go back to the apartment while everyone was out.

7:30 pm

Kimberly stood looking at herself in the mirror. A bottle of raspberry wine opened. She opened the mirror and found a bottle of medicine. She opened Aisha's vicodens that she used for cramps and headaches. Kimberly poured a handful into her hands just as she went to take them, she had a vision.

Tommy came into the bathroom and found Kimberly on the ground. "Oh, god! Kim! Kimberly!" He shook her. "KIM!" He raised her head as he checked her pulse. Kim, groggily, she opened her eyes. "How many did you take! How many did you take!" Aisha came into the bathroom. She screamed. "CALL 911!" Kimberly started seizing and went into unconsciousness. Tommy started CPR. "KIM! KIM!" ...

Teaser: "I want to be married in a garden surrounded by millions of flowers on like a cliff. With the sun setting.."
"Okay."
"In a Vera Wang gown, layers on layers. A train, bouquet of white roses with a red rose in the center. My maid of honor in a lavender and pink gown, brides maids the same."
"Looks like I have my work cut out for me."
"Of course. But I don't want all of that."
"Yea, you do."
"I only need you, oh and a priest," she said smiling. he kissed her to silent her for a moment.
