Summer Heat

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Well Xavier, it's your first day as a free man. What do you plan to do?" Kory asked, walking hand in hand with him out of the hospital.

"Take you to the beach or clubbing. Something fun. We already wasted a week of our summer going to the movies and doing nothing," Xavier said, walking over to his car.

"Well, I vote for clubbing. I've been feeling the need for dancing and fun," Kory said as they got into the car.

"Clubbing it is," Xavier said before driving off.

-----------------------------

"Rachel I'm going clubbing with Xavier, you want to come?" Kory asked over the phone.

"Are you shitting me?! Pregnant lady going clubbing? Why did you really call?" Rachel asked, rolling her eyes.

"I thought it'd be good for laugh to ask and I wanted to see how you and Gar were doing. Xavier got his cast off today so we're going clubbing to celebrate," Kory explained.

"Well, right now we're over at Gar's parents' place and they're talking about houses. One story with a pool is what Mr. Logan agreed to since he's paying for it," Rachel said, lying back on the couch.

"What a nice guy! You really are lucky to have him as a second dad," Kory said, smiling through the phone.

"Yeah, but what about Xavier's parents. What are they like?" Rachel asked.

"Well, for one, I have no reason to meet his parents and two, he doesn't really talk about them much. I don't think he had a very close relationship with them," Kory said, looking outside the window to find Xavier washing his car.

"Oh, that's too bad. Have you heard from Richard at all?" Rachel asked and Kory looked at the phone funny.

"I haven't talked to him. Why?" she asked.

"I was just wondering. You guys ended the school year on a bad note, didn't you?" Rachel asked.

"Well I don't mind being away from him. Everything is going a lot smother with him gone," Kory said, looking over at the picture of her and Richard back in high school. She then looked at the picture of her and Xavier right next to it and couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"How did I end up putting a picture of me with my current boyfriend and ex-boyfriend right next to each other?" she thought to herself but just shrugged it off.

"Kory? Are you still there?" Rachel asked, breaking her from her thoughts.

"Yeah. Well I'm glad to hear you're feeling fine. I have to go now and get ready. So I'll talk to you later," Kory said, looking at the clock.

"Alright, bye," Rachel said.

"Bye," Kory said before hanging up just in time for Xavier to walk in.

"I'm gonna go get in the shower to get ready and I'll be locking the door," Kory said, standing up from the couch.

"I know how to pick locks," Xavier said, returning with a glass of water.

"Alright," Kory said before walking off to the bathroom.

----------------------------

"Come on Xavier, you take longer than a girl!" Kory yelled through the bathroom door, waiting impatiently for him to get ready.

"You'd think that after you got that cast token off you'd get ready faster, but no! You get ready slower!" she then complained and the door opened and Xavier came out, grabbed Kory, and flung her over his shoulder.

"Put me down!" Kory cried, laughing as Xavier began to walk towards the door.

"Like I said, we wasted last week, time for some fun," he said, and Kory laughed again.

"Alright, but you can't drive the car like this… or the motorcycle," Kory said, her bare legs meeting the cold air as they stepped outside.

"Fine," Xavier said before nearly dropping Kory, but catching her at the last minute.

"Don't ever do that again!" she yelled, holding her chest and trying to calm her beating heart.

"Alright, I won't," Xavier said, crossing his fingers.

"Come on, we should go," Kory said, standing up and fixing her short dress. Xavier went over to his motorcycle and started it up.

"Xavier, I can't ride on the motorcycle, I'm wearing a dress," Kory said, fixing the top of her dress.

"Then just stay closer to me and hold down your dress," Xavier said before tossing her a helmet. Kory sighed before pulling on the helmet and sitting behind Xavier.

"Hold onto your dress," he said before putting the motorcycle into full speed and they went speeding down the streets.

"Xavier please slow down," Kory begged before he came to a stop.

"We're here," Xavier said getting off the motorcycle and helping Kory off.

"Please don't go that fast on the way home," Kory asked before Xavier nodded and they headed into the club.

"Let's find a table," Kory said, heading towards a bar. On her way over to an empty table, Kory spotted him.

"Damn," she mumbled to herself, but Xavier heard.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"Richard's here, but if we walk fast enough he might not be able to spot us," Kory said before walking a bit faster.

"No Kory, let's go say hi to him," Xavier said, before taking hold of her arm and dragging her towards Richard.

"Kory?" a guy asked from behind, right when they were about to reach Richard. Kory turned around and came face to face with….
