Hey Guys I'm back I've been trying my hardest to get an update posted, but my classes are kicking my ass big time. Anyway here is chapter 9 I hope you like it.
It's been 2 weeks since the confrontation and Beth and Katherine have not said a word to each other. Kat is just getting home from teaching her Thursday afternoon ballet class to find Tanya and Kimberly sitting on her porch.
"Hey Lady, Long time no see." Kat said when they made eye contact
"I could say the same for you, both of you." Kat replied
"I know, I ran into Kim at the store and we decided to have a get together tonight." Tanya said
"We have a lot to catch up on." Kim said as Kat walked up on the porch
"A whole lot." Tanya added as Kat unlocked her front door
"That we do." Kat replied
Everyone walks inside and Tanya and Kim take residence on the couch while Kat changes her clothes.
"So I bought Grease and Rent to watch tonight is that okay?" Kim asked Kat, yelling so she could hear
"Yeah that's great, its popcorn in the pantry and wine in the fridge." Kat yelled in response
"We're on it." Tanya and Kim said in unison
Tanya and Kim get the popcorn and the popcorn and the wine and when Kat comes in and grab the movies.
"Let's go to the back room, I got the surround sound set up." Katherine said
"Great" Kim replied as she followed Kat and Tanya to the playroom
When they get to the back room, Kat sets up the movie
4 hours later its 8:30 and the girls are sitting on the playroom floor talking about what's going on in their lives.
"So what's going on with you guys?" Kim asked
"I talked to Aisha last week and guess what?" Tanya said excitedly
"What?" Katherine and Kimberly said equally as excited
"She's coming home in 2 months, both her and Zack." Tanya replied
"Oh my gosh this is so great, they haven't been here since Tommy's wedding." Kim said literally jumping in her seat
"I know I can't wait to see them." Kat said all smiles
"So what about you Kat? " Tanya asked
"Oh you know the usual, teaching, playing with Jake, arguing with Beth." Kat said nonchalantly
"Oh, so nothing interesting then." Kim said kind of disappointed
"I didn't say that now." Kat said with a smirk on her face
"Oooh girl spill." Tanya said another wave of excitement washing over her
"Well about 2 weeks ago Tommy and Beth got into an argument. After the argument we went to dinner." Kat started
"All of you?" Kim asked
"No, me, Tommy, and Jake." Kat answered
"Oh Damn" Tanya said already knowing where this was headed
"Yeah so I guess they got into another fight that night and the next day guess shows up at my door?" Kat said her blood boiling at the memory.
"She didn't.." Kim stated in shock
"Oh but she did." Kat said
"Was Jake here when you guys were arguing?" Tanya asked concerned for the 4 year old.
"Yeah, but he was in here and we were on the porch." Kat answered
"That's good but what did she say?" Kimberly asked eager to know the rest of the story
"That I needed to stay away from Tommy and that she knows something is going on between us." Kat said
"Doesn't she know that if you wanted Tommy that she never would have been with him?" Tanya stated disliking Beth a little more after hearing this
"My words exactly, anyway I asked her if Tommy was sleeping with me didn't she think that he would be a bit more secretive."
"What did she say?" Kim asked nearly on the edge of her seat (not really they're on the floor.)
"Nothing, so I told her that I had to go and slammed the door I her face. The expression her face was priceless." Kat said proud of herself
Tanya and Kim burst into fits of laughter picturing the sight. They both high-fived Kat.
"That's how you do it!" Tanya said
"Did she call Tommy afterwards?" Kim asked
"Actually no, I told him when he came to pick up Jake that night." Katherine replied
"Did he take up for her?" Kim asked ready to pounce on Tommy if he had
"Not like he normally does." Kat said to the brunette
"That's because he's mad at her." Tanya stated
"I know but I haven't heard anything about it since, not that I'm complaining." Kat said
"Well maybe he's finally got it imbedded in his brain now that you're not playing nice anymore." Tanya said trying to giver her friend a little hope
"Yeah, that'll be a day for the record books." Katherine scoffed
Meanwhile in a bar in Downtown Angel Grove, Adam, Jason, and Tommy are talking and waiting for Rocky to show up.
"It feels so good to be away from the women tonight." Jason said
"Amen to that." Tommy and Adam said in unison
"What's the matter Adam trouble in paradise?" Jason asked teasing Adam
"No it's nothing like yours and Tommy's. Your love life is worthy of a soap opera." Adam playfully spat back
"Tell me about it." Jason said
"Carla still suspicious of you and Kim?" Adam asked
"No, but something isn't sitting right with me." Jason said
"You miss Kim." Tommy stated plainly
"No, I mean yeah but I can't go back to that." Jason said
"If you really miss Kim that bad then break up with her." Adam advised
"I can't just do that to her." Jason said looking at Adam in disbelief
"Do what to who?" A male voice stated
"Hey Rocky" The guys said
"Hey sorry I'm late, what did I miss?" Rocky asked as he took his seat
"Oh we were just telling Jase here that if he wants Kim so badly then he should leave Carla." Adam stated
"Why don't you?" Rocky asked looking at Jason
"Because despite my feelings, I do love her." Jason reasoned
"But not like you love Kim, so why drag this out?" Tommy asked….bad idea
"Why are you dragging out your marriage to Beth when you're in love with someone else?" Jason asked trying to move the focus to from him to someone else
"Dating and marriage are two different things." Tommy stated
"The only difference is that it would be easier for Jason because once he leaves Carla he can go right to Kim. Tommy could do the same but divorce takes a while." Rocky stated
"I don't want to put my son through that." Tommy said
"Tommy, don't take this the wrong way, but in a divorce you would get Jake." Adam said
"What makes you say that?" Tommy asked
"Beth wouldn't be able to handle Jake on her own." Rocky said
"And I know you don't want a nanny raising your son." Jason said to his best friend
"No I don't" Tommy said
After a few moments of silence Rocky spoke up
"Okay enough of this love junk, we came for a guy's night out. We're not supposed to talk about women." Rocky said as a waitress brings a round of drinks All guys and nod their heads in agreement and raise their glasses in a toast
"So we should plan a weekend in the woods, just us guys." Rocky stated taking a sip of beer
"That sounds like a real good idea." Tommy said
"A way to get away from……" Jason started
"LIFE" All the guys said at the same time
"Rocky what could you possibly want to get away from?" Adam asked
"Wedding Talk" Rocky stated simply
"Don't tell me you're getting cold feet." Jason said
"No it's not that, its just that since we got engaged it's ALL she talks about
"She's just excited that's all." Adam said
"Yeah let's see what you say when you get married." Rocky mumbled
Everyone looked at Rocky
"Yeah a camping trip is very necessary." Tommy said
"Rocky, you're starting to sound like Tanya, Kim, and Kat." Jason said
"And that's never a good sign." Adam added
The guys laugh as Rocky slouched down in his seat
"I knew you guys wouldn't understand." Rocky said
"I understand, I've been through it already remember?" Tommy reminded him
"Was Beth this bad?" Rocky asked desperate to know what he was getting into
"Every conversation began and ended with the wedding." Tommy said
"That sounds about right." Rocky said
"Yeah, it'll all be over soon and you'll be just like Tommy." Jason said
"I'm not sure that's reassuring Jase." Adam said
"Hey I'm sitting right here." Tommy said
Everybody laughs
Ha ha ha….very funny guys." Tommy said
"Oh come on Tommy lighten up." Adam said
Meanwhile the girls are still sitting in the playroom floor having their girl talk
"Can I ask you guys a question?" Kim asked
"Sure." Tanya and Kat said in unison
"Do you guys think I did the right thing by breaking things off with Jason?" Kim asked
"It doesn't matter what we think, do you think you did the right thing?" Tanya asked
"I did at first, but now I'm not so sure." Kim said
"What's making you have these doubts?" Kat asked
"I just…I guess I miss the attention." Kim replied
"Have you tried dating other guys?" Tanya asked
"No" Kim answered
"Why not?" Kat asked
"I'm afraid of Jason's reaction..I think." Kim said
"You shouldn't be." Tanya said
"Yeah I mean he already with someone , so his feelings shouldn't matter." Kat said
"Kat, how do you deal with Tommy's jealousy when you date other guys?" Kim asked
"I ignore him he's married so what he fells is irrelevant ." Kat stated simply
"Then why aren't you dating anyone right now?" Kim asked suddenly curious
"Hey, I can't help it if they're intimidated by him. When the right guy comes along, he won't be." Kat responded
"So I guess I should start dating other guys then." Kim stated more then asked
"Exactly." Tanya and Kat said
"And if Jason gets jealous, it might make him see what he's missing." Tanya said
"And it might make you feel better." Kat added
They laugh
"Hey you know Jake starts kindergarten in September?" Kat asked
"Yeah he's getting so big." Kim stated
"I can't believe he's almost 5." Tanya added
"Yeah well when he starts, I'm thinking about going to nursing school." Kat stated
'THAT'S AWESOME!!!!" Tanya and Kat stated
"You really think so?" Kat asked
"Yeah that job fits you very well." Tanya said
"And Jake will be in school all day and in afterschool programs so you should go for it." Kim said
"I think I will thanks guys."
