Summery: One Shot. What if Kris would have went to the ball with Junior instead of Matt? Would things have turned out differently for them? Would she still have gone into that room with Kerry? Would Kris and Junior's relationship turned out differently?
CHAPTER 1:Dateless
"Have you decided who you are asking to the ball yet?" Dani Davis asked her older brother Junior.
"I have some people in mind, why?" he asked getting annoyed at any mention of the stupid ball that was left up to the two Davis siblings to take care of sense there dead beat dad was in jail, finally getting caught.
"Well you need to hurry up and pick. The ball is in exactly a week. Chop chop, Junior," she said before turning briskly in her black heels and exiting the room. Junior rolled his eyes and plopped down on the couch.
"Girls," she mumbled before picking up the remote and turning on the television waiting on his best friend Matt to get there.
.:MWF:.
"I don't know, I think I'll just go solo to the ball," Matt Ritter said to his best friend Junior while they were watching the Yankee's play.
"Good idea. I wish I had that option. Dani is making me take someone!" Junior groaned. Matt laughed at him. "Kris is going alone, too," Matt commented. Junior looked at him.
"Really?" he said trying not to make it look like he was happy about it.
"Yep. She has to go find some lady and Kerry doesn't want them to look 'bad' going together," Matt said doing bunny eats around 'bad'.
Junior sat in silence, an idea forming slowly in his head.
After Matt left that night he laid in bed and though of a way to make his plan work.
.:MWF:.
"Morning Kris," Junior said the next morning walking into the Raintree barn, trying to look as casual as can be.
"Hey," she said looking at him shyly. Ever since that night they slept together, she seemed really weird around him. "What brings you by?"
"The fact I found out it was your day off," he said sweetly walking up beside her.
"What does that have to do with anything?" she asked grabbing hold of Wildfire's lead and leading him out of the stall, he walked beside her.
"Well, I was wondering if you would like to do something today. I'm bored and Matt is working, and Dani is doing stuff, so that leaves you," he said, hoping she would believe his lie.
"It's six thirty a.m. You woke up awfully early just to come by and ask if I wanted to hang out today," she laughed.
"I'm an early riser," he said sounding innocent.
"Yeah, since when?" she joked pushing his side. He laughed and pushed her back.
"So?" he said once they reached the paddock and she let Wildfire loose.
"I'll think about it," she said smiling.
"Well, I was planning on going and getting some breakfast," he said.
"Well, I was planning on going back to the trailer and getting more shut eye," she replied.
"Well, I would say I would join you, but that would be crossing the line," Junior said let down.
Kris walked beside him in silence, looking as if in deep thought. She looked up and met his eyes, "I have a couch."
Junior smiled, "I was hoping you would say that." He followed her into the trailer and laid on the red couch across from her bed. She walked into the bathroom and quickly emerged wearing sweat pants and a t-shirt. She plopped down on the bed and closed her eyes. Junior watched her and she smiled.
"Why are you staring?" she giggled.
"Oh, sorry," Junior responded, his normally tan cheeks turning bright red.
"It's okay," she commented sitting up. "I'm not really that tired anyways. What did you wanna do?"
"Well, I see you already ate breakfast," he said pointing to the mess on the counter, watching her blush. "So I guess we could talk, or something," he stuttered. She smiled at him.
"Well, we do need to talk," she said with a sigh. "I'm really sorry for the way I've been acting."
"It's perfectly okay. I haven't been the nicest either. But really, thanks for letting me crash the other night in the barn," he said remembering the night a few weeks ago.
"Yeah, no problem." She said without meeting his eyes.
.:MWF:.
"I can't believe I actually sat through that!" Junior said walking out of the movie theatre with Kris. They finally decided to go see a movie at 11:45. Kris got to pick, and she chose 27 Dresses.
"I knew you would watch a chick flick!" she joked tossing the popcorn bag into the trash bin.
"Yeah yeah," he said sarcastically. "What do you want for lunch," his watch read 2:15 and he hadn't eaten yet today.
"Ray's?" her answer was more of a question.
Junior and she climbed into the Mustang and drove toward the diner.
"Thanks for taking me out," Kris said after eating a bite of her burger and taking a sip of her lemon-water.
"No prob," he said smiling. "So, like, what is this. A date?" he asked.
She looked up at him and smiled, "I guess you could call it that," she said laughing. A phone ringing broke the moment. She looked down and saw that it was Kerry. "Hello."
Junior watched as Kris rolled her eyes in frustration as Kerry talked.
"But Kerry, it's my day off. I think I deserve the right to," she paused. "Yeah, I know," another pause. "Okay, bye."
Junior watched her slam the phone shut and throw it on the table.
"Everything okay?" he asked.
"Yes, and no. Kerry is bugging me about that stupid ball," she said. Junior laughed.
"You're dreading it, too?" he asked reaching across the table and touching her arm in a comforting way.
"Yeah, I don't have a date, and he doesn't want to take me because it will look weird or something," she sighed. Junior smiled. This was the perfect chance.
"Well, I know a handsome guy who is looking far a date," he smiled. She looked up at him.
"Well, I'm hoping it's the handsome guy sitting across from me. But I'm usua;y not that lucky," she joked back.
"Well, you could win a million dollars today," he said. "because it is him. I'm jealous."
Kris laughed. "So is that your way of asking me to the ball?"
"Yeah, and what's your answer?"
"Hmm, that's a tough one," she said doing her thinking face, "but I think I'll give him a break and say yes."
Junior smiled and took her hand in his.
.:MWF:.
The whole next week Kris and Junior were pretty much inseparable. He would come by and watch Kris train, of course under the watchful eye of Kerry.
"So, you and Kris are together a lot," Kerry said to him the day before the ball.
"Yeah, so?" Junior said rolling his eyes. God he couldn't stand that guy!
"Well, just be careful. She's not available," Kerry stated trying to make it sound like a threat,
"Last time I checked, she was, Kerry. You and Kris aren't together. If you were, you wouldn't be trying to hide from her the fact that you can't take her to the ball because of Gillian," Junior said angry.
"You don't know what you are talking about, Junior," he said turning to face Junior.
"Actually, I do. I talked to Gillian. I'm not an idiot. And you should just be glad I didn't tell Kris." Junior turned and walked off.
"Hey, where did you go off too?" Kris asked walking into the trailer thirty minutes later.
"Sorry," Junior said as Kris sat down next to him. "What are we Kris?"
"Well, I don't know Junior. I mean, we go out every night. You always come and see me practice. You're taking me to the ball tomorrow. You sound like a boyfriend to me," she said smiling.
"Kris, I need to ask you a question," Junior said. "I know things didn't work out well in the past, but I promise things are going to be different. Will you be my girl?" he asked shyly.
"That was really corny!" Kris said as Junior blushed, "Bu I would be happy too."
Junior met her eyes and smilied. He leaned down and gave her a long-awaited kiss.
.:MWF:.
The party was going full swing by the time Kris and Junior got there. Kirs was dressed in a long red gown, piced out by Kerry. And Junior was in a tux.
"You look beautiful," he whispered in her ear as they met for a dance on the floor.
"You don't look to bad yourself," Kris said kissing him.
"Excuse me, may I cut in?" a familiar voice said behind them.
"Kris?" Junior asked.
"Yeah, it's fine. I'll meet you in a minute," she smiled at him.
"I wish he would leave you alone," Kerry said taking Kris into his arms.
"Why?" Kris asked getting annoyed already.
"He is acting like you two are together or something," he said.
"We are Kerry!" Kris said pushing herself away from him. "And I know about Gillian. Junior told me. Bye Kerry," she said walking off, "and by the way. You're fired!"
Kris turned and walked briskly from the dance floor in tears. Junior caught her.
"Hey, come here," he said holding her up against him letting her cry.
After a few minutes she pulled away. "Sorry," she said. Junior nodded and kissed her.
"It's okay. I promise," he said and took her hand.
"Hw is it okay?" she asked looking up at him.
"Because I love you," he sweetly said.
"I love you, too," she said smiling. He took her in his arms and they danced staring into each eyes. So what if they were messing with fate, they loved each other. And nothing was going to get in the way this time.
