CHAPTER 2

"So, whipped cream hu? …I didn't know you had such a sweet tooth Tommy"

Kill me. Kill me. Kill me now!

"I uh… I thought you were Rocky or Jason playing pranks on me so… I thought I'd play one of my own… sorry"

I hear Kim sigh and wonder how I've survived these last ten years without that sweet sound

"Tommy, do me a favour…"

Like she thinks I could ever turn her down

"Next time you play a prank like that on Jason or Rocky, use me name, not Katherines"

Two thoughts hit my brain at the exact same time, first… no one has told her about my newly formed relationship with Katherine and two…was she flirting with me?!

I decide to test the water…

"Well, I guess I could… but Jason would probably kill me, and what good is whipped cream if you're dead?"

The sweet giggle that escapes her lips almost kills me first.

"So…you and Katherine are dating?"

I can hear something in her voice… like she's testing the water, if I told her the answer was yes would she be jealous?

…After 10 years, would I want her to be?

I knew I should be respectful to both women and tell her that the answer was yes

"We're just hanging out"

My God, Katherine will kill me if she finds out!

I hear the small intake of breath and hope she hasn't guessed the truth

God, Katherine really will kill me

"So, is it since the um, reunion?"

"Yes"

My first truthful answer today makes me feel good and makes my half truths feel justified

"Wow, now I really feel bad for not calling sooner"

Was that her second flirt?!

…Should I flirt back?

I want to but my girlfriend is asleep in the other room. I'm not a disrespectful guy but this is the one girl I've waited what feels like my whole life for an 'Adult Moment' with

"So why didn't you?"

I know I'm not going to win any seduction competitions with a line like that, but the part of me that desires the truth over everything else just won out over the part of me that desires Kimberly Hart over everything else

"It's a long story…do you have the time?"

I'm just about to tell her that I have 9 life times in which all I want to do is listen to the sweet words of her long stories but before I can say a word, Katherines voice breaks through my thoughts.

"Tommy?"

Oh my God, I am so busted! I know that technically I'm not doing anything wrong but I'm talking to my ex-girlfriend in the quiet confines of my kitchen whilst my current girlfriend sleeps in my living room. Now she's awake I'm like a child that's been caught playing with his presents before Christmas

"Kim…"

I whisper in my most innocently hushed tones.

"I forgot to take out the trash and I…really, really need to do it, can I get your number off my phone and call you back?"

I hear her voice lift in confusion and it hurts me in a way I thought I was long past

"Are you blowing me off?"

No, no, no! …yes!

"Kimberly I'm really sorry …"

Sighing she adds

"This is just like at the reunion, one minute you were there and wanting to talk, the next minute you were gone"

The Dino Rangers!… I curse them in my mind for the number of times they dragged me from my 'Big Conversation With Kimberly' but I can hear Kat quickly approaching and know my 'Fun Time' is done

"But at the reunion I always came back, didn't I, and I will call you back this time- I promise!"

"…Okay"

"Don't move too far from your phone ok?"

I mean it as a prelude to a flirt and just hope she picked up on it.

"Bye Tommy"

I do the last thing I want to do in the world and say…

"Bye Kim"

*Again, this is just a break from the seriousness of the breaking point but I think it could turn out to be really interesting. Let me know if you hate it or rate it x
