CHAPTER 10: SNEAKING OFF

Kim woke up her head was banging and her mouth was dry. Tommy still had his arm wrapped around her holding her tight. She looked at him for a moment, he looked so peaceful she didn't want to wake him. She lifted his heavy arm and carefully slipped out of the bed. She took her phone out of her handbag and checked the time. It was eight o clock and she had to be at Lisa's house for ten o clock to mind the kids. She quietly opened the door and tiptoed down the hall towards the toilet. She entered the toilet and looked in the mirror. Her hair was a mess and her eyeliner and mascara from the night before was smeared under her eyes. O god," Kim said to her self running her fingers through her messy hair trying to tame it. She washed her face, put some toothpaste on her finger and rubbed it around her mouth then gargled some water and spat it out. That's a bit better," she said to herself as she tiptoed back to Tommy's room.

Tommy was still sleeping but he had changed position he was now lying on his back with one hand by his side and one up over his head. Kim started to smile thinking that he must have had no room all night, because as soon as she got up he had stretched out his large frame takeing up the whole bed. The sunlight from the window was shinging on his face and broad muscular body. He is even more handsome when he is asleep," she taught to herself.

Kim watched him for a few moments wondering what it was about him that had her so fascinated. She bearly new him but when she was in his company she felt sexy and confident and that was something she hadent felt in so long. Danny had made her feel pathetic and worthless and In just a few days Tommy was starting to restore a part of her that she taught she had completely lost.

In that moment she wanted nothing more than to climb on top of him and wake him up with sweet kisses. But it was now eight thirty and she had to get home and get showered before work. She trew on her leggins and tank top from the day before. She walked out of Tommy's room and left the dress, shoes and bag that Tess had lent her outside the door of Brendan's bedroom. She tiptoed down the stairs trying to sneek out the door. But Paddy spotted her as she was opening the door.

Kim," your leaving? He asked her.

Yea ive got to be at work for ten she replied." Will you tell Tommy ill call him later."

Of course," it was nice meeting you Kim."

Yea you two," bye."

She walked out the door and started walking towards Keith's house as fast as she could. It didn't Take her long to get there. She walked inside and threw her bag on the floor. As soon as Keith heard the door he shouted.

Kim is that you?"

Kim started walking up the stairs. Yea its me," I cant talk right now I've gota get showered.

Keith followed her up the stairs. where were you last night?" he asked. You slept with that Tommy guy didn't you he said with a big grin.

Yes Keith I slept with him," but that's all we did. We slept." she stated getting clothes ready to put on after her shower.
So you spent the night in his bed and all ye did was sleep," Keith said raising his eyebrows. Is he gay?" he asked. Coz if he is you can give him my number," I mean from the way you described him he sounds very appealing.

No he is not gay Keith," sorry to dissapoint you she said giggling. I got really drunk and he dident want to take adventage of me so we just slept.

O I see."

Now ive gota get showered," ill tell you all about it later ok.

Ok," Keith replied and he headed downstairs.

Kim had a quick shower and threw on a pair of dark grey skinny jeans a baby pink string top, baby pink zip up and a pair of grey ugg boots. She put on a little makeup and tied her hair up. She checked the time it was nine thirty, so she went downstairs and had a cup of coffee and a slice of toast. Thankfully Keith had gone out so she dident have to answer anymore of his questions.

She arrived at lisa's door just on was looking out the window wating for her to arrive. She ran to the door to let her in.

Hi Kim," come on lets play dress up she said grabbing Kim by the hand and pulling her upstairs.

Hi Kim," Lisa said smiling as she watched sophie drag her up the stairs. The boys are playing a video game in the living room I should be back by five.

Ok no problem," Kim replied see ya later.

Sophie and Kim played dress up for about an hour. They were faires, nurses and supermodles. They put on a fashion show for Jason and Jackson but they didn't seem to interested. They had been playing that video game all morning.

Ok boys I think that's enough," come on it's a nice day out lets go into the garden and play some football.

The boys reluctantly left there video game and followed Kim and Sophie out into the garden. They played some football and then they played a Game of Tag. The boys were surprised at how much fun they were having. Kim made some lunch for them and they sat on a picknic blanket in the garden while they ate. Lisa arrived home at four thirty. Kim said her good byes and headed home.

When she got home she went into the sitting room and plonked herself on the couch in front of the tv. Keith was sitting in the arm chair beside her.

So how was your day? he asked.

Good," I'm tired tho kids have so much energy." she said rubbing her eyes.

You are tired from being out all night Kim," not from the kids. So how did you end up getting so drunk?,"

Well we were at the gym. "And we were flirting and then we were kissing but we got interrupted." So we decided to head back to his house for some privacy." But when we got there his dad, brother and sister in law were there." And they wanted him to go to dinner with them. So I was going to leave." But Tommy asked me to join them for dinner because him and his brother and his father for that matter don't get along." And he said that if I came with him he would feel more comfortable." So I agreed and we went to dinner. But it was so awkward." There family obviously have a lot of issues and I just felt so uncomfortable." So I just kept drinking." And then all of a sudden I was drunk," very drunk." so does that explain everything."

Yea that about sums it up." So you wanted to have sex with him but the night just didn't go as planned." You little slut!" Keith said teasing her.

I no Keith," what is wrong with me?" I bearly no him and all I can think about is fucking him." Kim said covering her face with her hands in embarrassment.

Kim I was only joking you have only ever been with one man your whole life." You're actually the least slutiest persion I no.

I don't know what it is about him." When im with him I have nothing but dirty taughts." That's never happened to me with anybody before.

Your just attracted to him Kim its completely normal." so you never felt like that with Danny Keith asked cautiously?" not even in the beginning?"

No," I mean I was attracted to Danny at the start." Of course I was or I would not have married him." But it was not the same." I mean we didn't have sex untill we were married." But when im around Tommy all I want to do is touch him." And be touched by him its like I cant think straight.

O you've got it bad," Keith said smirking.

Shut it." im going to make some dinner, you want some?" Kim asked.

What ya making?

Roast chicken with spinach pasta."

O god that sounds delicious," ill have some." Keith said licking his lips.

Kim headed out to the kitchen and began prepairing her meal. She loved cooking and enjoyed watching cooking programs and trying out new recepies, And sometimes she would try out something off the top of her head. She had created some beautiful dishes and also some horrendous ones.

When her meal was ready she set the table for herself and Keith had opened a bottle of red wine that she had in the press. They sat together and ate.

O my god Kim," This is amazing." Keith said with his mouth full as he practically inhaled his food.

Why thank you," im glad you like it Kim said laughing as she watched him devour his food with such pleasure.

Just as they finished there food and were beginning to clear up Kim's phone rang. She looked at the caller id seeing that it was Tommy. So she walked out of the Kitchen and up to her bedroom Knowing that Keith would probably be making funny faces and gestures at her. And she would not be able to stop herself from laughing.
