8 weeks

Chapter 1

"Hey, Ker move over a little so I can see you better?"

Kerry huffed, "Why do you need to see me, we just spent 5 days together."

"Just do it", Kim responded slightly annoyed.

Kerry exited the closet and moved her lap top over so it was facing the closet where Kerry was currently unpacking her suitcase.

"Better?" she asked

"Much" Kim seemed in a better mood now that she could watch her Girlfriend do something as mundane as separating her whites from her colored clothing

"It's just hard not being able to see, you or touch you whenever I want." Kim went on.

Kim had found herself surprised on how much she had missed her new old girlfriend in the two weeks that had passed since their recoupling in April. She had gone 10 years without even a word from Kerry and in just 7 days she had fallen completely head over heels in love with her ex again.

"4 days wasn't enough time to get my fill of you" she husked

Kerry seemed to soften at Kim's words. Realizing she too would have rather been in the same room as Kim just enjoying each other.

"Well, what we lacked in quantity we made up for in quality of the use of our time together" Kim could hear her say somewhat muffled from the confines of her closet.

"So true!" Kim drawled remembering their hours spent in bed when she first got to Kerry's hotel room in LA. "Probably wasn't a great first impression missing two meetings with the film's producers on the first day."

"Nope, probably not" Kerry agreed "But who cares, they already think PT Carmichael is a nut job, why wouldn't her representatives be any more reliable right!" Kerry said, describing the fake personality she had created so as to remain the anonymous writer of a series of sappy romance slash mystery novels. "Just give the ruse more credibility, am I right?" she chuckled as she exited her closet upon finishing the job of sorting her laundry. She made her way back to her bed where her laptop was resting, repositioning it she settled in for what was shaping up to be a long video chat.

Kim was shaking her head, "I don't know why you insist on caring on with the ruse, would it really matter if they knew you were the real PT Carmichael? She asked

"Kerry shrugged, "Probably not, but It's not really that easy for me to just come out and say it after all this time and effort to keep it a secret."

This comment made Kim laugh out loud, "Well, no I guess it wouldn't be easy for you specifically to just come out with your little secret, historically, coming out in not one of you strong points" Kim offered

"Ha ha, Kim. Very funny" but her tone didn't really have much humor in it. Kerry decided to let the comment lie and instead tried to change the subject.

"So, normally I would asked what you're wearing at this point but I can see you are still in your work attire, late night?" Kerry asked

"Not too bad, I got home around 6:30. I had a lot of catching up after playing hooky for two days to spend time with my jet setting, mysterious lover, as my co-workers have come to refer to you." Kim giggled.

"Oh great, they would be very disappointed to find out you are hooking up with an aging, single mom who also happens to be your ex!" Kerry laughed at her own self-deprecating description of herself.

"Yes, well I don't think that description does you justice even if some of it is true." Kim retorted.

"It's all true Kim, face it, you are shacking up with an old broad with baggage, no getting around it." Kerry went on, tugging at the skin of her neck as if to prove her point.

Kim rolled her eyes. She felt that Kerry was one of the most beautiful women she had ever know, with a wicked sense of humor and an intellect unsurpassed by anyone she has ever known, but also knew, she wasn't going to be able to convince Kerry that's how she viewed her.

"Moving on, how was your flight back?" She asked

"It was fine, no obnoxious seatmates to deal with. I could definitely get use to flying first class." Kerry mused. "It went fast as I was consumed by all the re-writes the producers wanted me to make to, what did they call it? Make the script more film friendly? Anyway. It kept me pretty busy. I just want to stay as close to the original story as possible without compromising on the plot too much?" Kerry finished.

"I understand how frustrating it can be, but at least they are including you in the process rather than just doing rewrites on their own. Right? This project is still your baby, Ker, you can control its outcome by being involved." Kim encouraged.

"I know Kim, you're right. And I am grateful. Plus, it allows me the opportunity to spend two months on the same side of the country with my very hot, very beautiful, and very blonde girlfriend." Kerry punctuated each point by unbuttoning the blouse she was wearing revealing a lacy black bra barely containing the red heads ample breasts.

This was enough to incite a low guttural moan from the other end of the video chat. Kim's eyes flutter shut for a moment as her hand found her own buttons to undo, "Go on, I'm listening" she practically growled.

"Mommy?" Kim's eyes flew open momentarily surprised by what she heard next but quickly realizing that was not her lover's voice.

"Um, just a second Henry" Kim heard Kerry scrambling around and quickly trying close her shirt back up, just in time before Henry barged in to her room and make his way to the computer turning it towards him.

"Hi Kim! What are you and mom talking about?" asked the curious 8 year old.

"Oh, hey Hen! We were um, just, uh, talking about how we can't wait for our visit this summer, when you and your Mom come out to see me in California." Kim recovered quickly.

"I can't wait either. Do you think we could go to a Giants game? I think they are gonna go to the World Series this year, Mom thinks so too!"

"You do huh? Well, they are looking pretty good, you just might be right Kid!" I will make sure to get us some tickets for all of us!"

"Awesome!" she heard the young boy shout out, "I just wanted to say good night" The young boy animatedly waved to the screen.

"I'm glad you did Hen, good night to you too bud." Kim returned warmly."

Kerry moved the computed back towards her, "I guess I should say good night too, it's late. Good night my Love", she whispered sweetly.

"Good night Ker, I love you. And, miss you. Even though it's only been 12 hours" she smiled shyly.

"I miss you too, it will only be a few more weeks before we will all be together again. Love you"...Kerry kissed two fingers and pressed them on the screen, Kim kissed two of her fingers and pressed them against Kerry's.

"I know, I know." Kim whispered before signing off for the night.
