Tommy springs up from his bed and looks to his left. He expected to see Kim nestled in his left arm snoring lightly but when he viewed the side of the bed, no one was there. Tommy runs a frustrated hand through his hair and sighs. It was all a dream but it felt so real. How am I going to act normal around her when all I want to do is take her in my arms and kiss her senseless? Maybe a shower; a cold shower will clear my head. As Tommy is picking out something to wear, he spies the bracelet that Lucy insisted her mother buy for him. Oh my, I completely forgot about Mary and the children. Tommy sighs again. This is going to be more difficult than I thought.
Kim smiles and moves her head to the right. She expected to see Tommy smiling at her but all she saw was a pillow. Kim sighs loudly as she slowly rises out of bed. I do not think I can take living with him and not physically being with him. Oh well, I had better start my day and try to do something productive today. Kim walks down the stairs and is a few inches from the kitchen when she hears Tommy talking to Mary. She pauses and cannot help but to eavesdrop on their conversation. What did you expect Kim that he would stop talking to her because of you? She waits until he has finished his conversation before she fully walks into the kitchen. "Good morning Tommy; are you hungry?"
Tommy stares at Kim for a second. I wonder how much did she hear? "Well Kim, are you cooking dare I ask?"
Kim gives him a silly face before she pours herself a cup of coffee. "Duh Tommy and do not take it as I have to because I am here kind of thing." Kim sits down next to him.
"I will take however you want me to," Tommy smiles and takes a sip of his coffee.
"Good then, I will be making eggs, waffles, sausage, and a fruit bowl." Kim hops up and begins cooking the meal. I know all the ways to a man's heart.
