The One
Chapter One
A bright beam of morning sunlight shined through the halfway curtained window, shining a light on the couple in the bed below. A groan passed the lips as the beam shone directly over her closed eyelids, forcing Kimberly Ann Hart to acknowledge that it was time for her to get up. She rolled over to her side and smiled now that the light was no longer in her face. She snuggled into the bed and tried to fall to sleep again. She let out another groan when she realized her head hurt.
'Great,' she thought. 'I have a hangover.'
She was awake enough to know that tidbit of information. She wondered why she allowed her friends to talk her into drinking in the first place. It wasn't like anything positive ever happened because of it.
Kimberly tried to remember what happened last night. Coming up with a blank, she concluded nothing good ever happens when she drinks. No memory was never good, it usually led to trouble.
All she could remember was that she had come to the city of Reefside for a job interview. Her boyfriend, Eric Keith and best friend, Ellen "Ellie" Moore had come along with her. She went to her interview, sure she got the job, she went back to her hotel room to tell Eric and Ellie and found them in a very interesting position. She promptly kicked them out of the room and called room service to clean the bed. She gathered what she thought was valuable and left the room to go to the nearest bar to drink away her troubles. Obviously it worked and now she had new troubles.
She squirmed in the bed and noticed a dull ache in her body. She wondered why she was aching and of course, again figured that drinking was bad.
She rolled back over to face the sun. Opening one eye, Kimberly discovered she was not in her hotel room at all. There was not one sign of pink, which made her laugh when she saw it, in this room. The walls were white, just like hers, but there was red and white clothing scattered on the floor, and she noticed, when she looked down to find a forest green blanket covered body. A single black shirt dangled off a crammed bookcase and her soft pink panties seemed to be stuck to the shirt by, she hoped, static.
Kimberly moaned in displeasure as she realized she was naked and not only did she not know where she was, but she had had a one night stand. The revelation shocked her. This was so unlike her. Kimberly Ann Hart was a good girl. Not the type of girl who liked to sleep around. She had never done something this stupid before, then again her boyfriend never left her for her best friend before; hence, the reason for the drinking.
Sitting up, Kimberly held the blanket to her naked chest and looked over at her temporary partner. He was muscular, tan, tall, with dark brown hair. She smiled; it would figure she would find someone who resembled her old boyfriend from Angel Grove. He was the best thing that ever happened to her. He was sweet, kind, gentle, charming, handsome, romantic, and most importantly faithful. It was a shame she dumped him for Eric.
Kimberly sighed and laid back down. She combed her fingers through her hair and wondered what she was going to do next. She couldn't just leave. She didn't know the guy's name and what if they didn't use protection? She could have an STD or Aids or she could be pregnant. Nope she couldn't leave until after this guy woke up and they exchanged information.
The guy turned over to his stomach and Kimberly gasped. The guy did not just resemble her ex-boyfriend, he was her ex-boyfriend. She was in his house. She hadn't seen him in years and wouldn't have, in a million years, guessed that beside her would Tommy Oliver and she was going to kill her long standing male, best friend, Jason Scott for not telling her Tommy was in town. And she knew that he knew because he was also Tommy's best friend. And now she had slept with Tommy. Something she has never done before, something she did not want to do drunk. If anything, if she were ever to sleep with Tommy, they would have been dating and it wouldn't have been a one night stand.
What was she going to do? She couldn't let Tommy wake up and see her here. She broke his heart. Sure it was years ago, but they were first loves and what they had was real. It would hurt him, just as it hurt her, that the first time together was during a drunken stupor. Even after all these years, Tommy and Kimberly's first time together should have be romantic. And Tommy being Tommy would not like their situation at all.
With that thought in mind, Kimberly panicked and hopped out of bed. She quickly looked around the room for her clothes and that's how Tommy found her. Standing naked, with only her soft pink panties in one hand, her back towards him.
"Kim?"
She wasn't fast enough.
