Clare woke up in her hotel room the next morning. She had a massive head ache. She looked at the floor. There were clothes that were not hers. One Clare never (no matter how drunk she was she was always neat and kept things orderly.) would leave them on the floor. And two they were men's clothes. What were men's clothes doing on her floor? She got up and check the pockets, and pulled out a wallet. The id was a familiar one. KC Guthrie. What was KC's clothes doing in her room? And more importantly where was KC? She heard the bathroom toilet flush and the sink go off. She just stared at the door. The handle turned slowly. Clare was frozen. KC appeared shitless and with just boxer's on. Clare's whole body froze.

"Morning, Wife," his face had a smug grin. Clare couldn't move

"What?" she looked at her hand. There was a wedding ring on it.

"Don't look so shocked. It was your idea." he said

"What?" she said unable to breathe

"Remember?" he said and Clare's mind drifted to last night.

Clare and KC had so much to dink Clare couldn't even see him clearly

"I missed you Edwards" KC said laughing

"Wait stay still." she said he laughed

"Man you are always so funny." he said "Why did I ever let you go?"

"Cause your stupid." she laughed "Man your still smoking." she said

"And your surprised because?" he teased

"I just thought you be fat."

"Oh is that why you never called me? Maybe if you had I would be the one you were gonna be married to." he was joking

"Well Guthrie we are in Vegas." she looked at KC with the dreamy eyes KC missed so much. "Will you marry me?"

"Sure."

"Oh crap" Clare said and KC replied

"So you do remember?"

"KC this isn't a game. I was drunk. I wasn't thinking. That is why it happened."

"No Clare I know you. This wouldn't have happened unless some part of you wanted it to happen." he said

"KC I have a fiancé ok, who loves me and I love him." KC looked amused. Then Clare's phone went of. "Oh no, its Alli" she said throwing the phone.

"Alli? Oh god I haven't seen or heard from her in like 10 years. She will be so happy we got married. Here let me say hi." he said

"No! she cant know." she said turning off her phone "look KC, my fiance Mike is away for 2 months. And when he gets back I am getting married in 2 months. We have to get this annulled." she said

"I don't want to." he said

"God I hate you KC." she said and left the room

"Where are you going?"

"I am checking out early." she left. She checked out early

"Clare what is going on? Alex asked as she was leaving.

"I gotta get home." she said. KC was no longer in her room. She caught a flight home. No sign of KC as she opened the door. She sighed

"What took you so long?" KC said she screamed

"What are you doing here?" "I am waiting for my wife." he said

"Ok KC, this was funny in Vegas, but not anymore." she said

"Well lucky for you I wont be here all the time."

"What why?"

"I work at Sean's garage and I am also a volunteer firefighter." he said

"Well I just need you to make you go away." she said

"I cant C bear." he said

"Oh no don't you go getting into our old nickname for each other." she warned

"Ok Clare come here/" he said and sat her down next to him "How long have we known each other?" he asked honestly

"14 years." "Exactly. You never say or do anything if no part for you wants it. That is why this happened. Come on Clare, what are the odds we were both in Vegas, at that bar at that time?" KC said "It's fate Clare. I know I make rash decisions all the time. I am a gut follower. Ok, and when I saw you sitting there, my gut was screaming don't let her get away you big idiot. Not again." he said. Clare+ felt touched.

"KC I think that." he sighed

"No stopped thinking." he said

"No I have to think that is what I do, I didn't think last night and this how this happened."

"This happened because you wanted it to."

No way Mr. Guthrie." she said he smiled

"You always tried to make jokes when you were nervous. I always found it funny." he said

"You think that I am funny?" Clare said

"Yes I know you better than any human ever will or has." he said "Clare what do you really want?"

"I want you to sign the papers and leave me. The last 10 years I have lived drama free, and I would like that to continue." she said handing him the papers

"I wont." KC said

"Ok this is has gone far enough."

"I'll make you a deal Ms. Edwards, you say the fiancé is coming back in 2 months right?"

"Maybe sooner." she said

"Ok look, we give this a try. And if you really don't love me by the time your fiancé comes back, I will give you the annulment. Deal?"

Clare stared at him

"Fine deal."

Clare and KC living under the same roof? Oh my. How will this game of cat and mouse play out?
