Chapter 4

"So here you are safe and sound at your hotel room so I'll see you next week?" John asked as Kelly looked for her door key.

"Ya I guess so....hey don't take this the wrong way but do you want to come in and watch a movie?" Kelly asked opening her door.

"Are you asking me on a date? Now who's hitting on who?" John asked chuckling.

"I'm not asking you out I'm simpley asking if you have nothing to do if you wanted to come watch a movie with me but nevermind I'll just see you next monday" Kelly said a bit mad at John.

"Aw common Kelly I was just yanking your chain.....I aint got nothing to do tonite so sure I'll come keep you company"John said putting his hand loose around her as they walked into her hotel room.

Kelly leaned her cruches on the table as John went and sat down on the couch.

"So this aint gonna be a chick flick night is it?" John asked hopefully.

"No I was thinking I'd let you pick" Kelly said putting a bag of popcorn in the microwave and limping into her room to change.

"So you knew I would say yes to come in?" John said leaning back and taking his shoes off.

"Actually I probably would have watched chick flicks if you said no but I figured I'd let you pick seeing as I feel like i owe you one for all the help you gave me today" Kelly said walking out in sweat pants and a baby tee as she walked tot he kitchen and pulled the bag out of the microwave and poured it into a bowl.

"Hey let me get that for you and would you get off that foot of yours" John said getting up not wanting to make a big deal out of things.

"I'm perfectly fiiiiine" Kelly said as her bad ankel gave out as she fell but she didn't fall on the floor she landed on John.

John tried catching her but slipped on the popcorn on the floor and ended up under Kelly.

"Uh....Oh jeez sorry" Kelly said trying to move off him .

"Calm down there is nothing to be sorry for this time I was a clutz when I slipped on the popcorn" John said chuckling as his arm was around Kelly.

"Oh still I.." Kelly was stopped in mid sentence by John's lips meeting hers.

Kelly's mind rushed with so many thoughts but could not resist and after a moment relaxed into the kiss.

They broke it a few seconds later and both had smiles on there faces.

Kelly then immidatly got off John and slid to the wall freaked out and not knowing what to feel or say.

John sat up and looked at Kelly very confused at her reaction he thought she enjoyed the kiss like he did.

"Kelly I'm sorry I just got up in the moment there's no hard feelings right?" John asked getting up and brushing himself off.

Kelly shook her head not wanting to say anything as she used the wall to get back up tucking her hair behind her ear looking at John then to the floor.

"Listen I can leave if you want me to" John said sighing.

Kelly didn't answer as she felt tears starting to fill her eyes.

'I gotta stop him this isn't his fault but he wont want to here my sob story' Kelly thought to herself.

John went over to the couch and slipped his shoes on and then turned to Kelly.

"I just want you to know I'm not like the other guys that try and sleep with all the divas I only kiss women I feel like i have a conection with" John explained as he turned to the door.

"John!....please stay" Kelly said slipping to the floor crying.

John rushed over thinking her ankel was hurting her enough to make her cry.

"Come here the pain will only last a little while and then in no time you'l be strong and brand new again you'll see" John said rocking her in his arms.

"You really belive that?" Kelly asked through her tears.

"Sure I have been hurt so many times and I've got through each and everytime and the experiences have made me stranger and they will do the same for you" John said kissing her forehead.

"What if the pain is emotional does it go away?" Kelly asked cuddling to his chest.

"Emotional?" John asked being caught off gaurd.

"Ya like being rejected is there hope for a person to be happy after that or are they doomed to be alone" Kelly asked seriously wiping her tears off her cheeks.

"Well....I guess that can be healed to but that kinda pain is healed by being witht he right people" John said looking down at the fragile woman in his arms.

"I hope your right cause it hurts like hell right now" Kelly said truthfully.

"Well lets get you to bed and I'll get you some ice then I'll stay till you can sleep deal?" John said getting up and holding his hands out to help her up.

Kelly was confused how does ice help heartache then it hit her John thought she was talking about her ankel hurting.

"That would be great" Kelly said giving a half hearted smile take his hands.

John helped Kelly to her bed and went to go get her ice and Kelly couldn't help but wonder about what ohn meant when he said ' I'm not like the other guys that try and sleep with all the divas I only kiss women I feel like i have a conection with' did that mean he felt a connection with her.

Suddenly Kelly was startled out of her thought by a cold sensation on her foot making her jump.

"Ahh that's cold!" Kelly screeched.

"Well I've never herd of warm ice" John said smirking.

Kelly just giggled and lied down adjusting the covers and blankets trying to get comfortable but it wasn't working.

"Here I think I know what might help" John said walking to the other side of the bed taking his keys and cell phone out of his pockets and pulling

his t-shirt off as he got under the covers and took her into his arms.

Kelly just blushed and cuddled into his chest happily.

"Comfotable?" John asked .

"Yes but can I ask you something?" Kelly asked looking up at John.

"Sure shoot"

"Do you feel we have a conection?" Kelly asked softly.

"I do ....do you?" John asked taking off his hat to look down at Kelly.

"Yes I think I do" Kelly said smiling.

John just smiled as Kelly cuddled into him and closed her eyes as she slowly drifted off to sleep listening to the strong beat of John's heart.

John smiled and soon drifted to sleep with ease himself.
