Matt's phone rang.
"Hey Dani, what's going on?" he asked. "Tonight, sounds good. See you guys there."
Matt had a few things he had to get done before he met up with them.
Junior goes to meet up with Kalvin. They go over a few things and talks about a few big potential buyers. They brainstorm for a while and calls it a night.
He takes off and heads home to get ready. He walks into the house and sees his dad.
"Where have you been all day Junior?" He asks.
"Been busy with projects dad" he yells as he heads up the stairs.
"We need to talk, can you meet me in the office?"
"I've got somewhere to be dad, can't this wait"
"Junior Please!"
He turns around, sighs and follows his dad.
...
"Kris you look great" said Dani.
Kris wore her hair down, she came out wearing a green halter top w/gem stones in the left corner with a cute short black shirt w/some heels.
"Look at you Dani, you look awesome!"
Dani wore a Pink silky embedded lacy top with some nice slacks and heels. She wore her hair down as well. It was short so it sat on her shoulders.
"We look hot" exclaimed Dani.
Both girls started laughing.
...
Matt got ready and headed out the door.
"See you later mom", as he yelled
"Bye Matt." Jean was sitting at the kitchen table having dinner with Jesse talking about Todd.
Todd will be home in a few days from boarding school. He missed it out here to much and the family missed him.
...
Laura was getting ready to meet a few ppl at Bobbys, since Junior said he was busy tonight. She was bummed but was ready for a night out.
"I wish Junior would come out with us" she thought to herself.
She wore a cute black top w/a blazer, with some nice jeans and heels finishing it off wearing a spiral bun in her hair.
Meanwhile back at the Davis Farms
"So Junior, have you thought any more about the proposal?" Ken asked?
"Dad, when the time is right, I will do it." he answered.
"Senator Nickels and I just want to make sure you still love Laura." Junior cuts off his dad.
"You two talked about us?" he asked shocked.
"Well he just wants to make sure his little girls happy." Ken explained.
Still in disbelief Junior ends the conversation. "Dad I can't think about this right now. I've got to go." He then leaves his dad alone in the office to go get ready. He was ready in bout 15mins.
...
"Kris, I can't make it out tonight. I'm sorry. There's an emergency with a horse that I have to attend too. You guys have fun and I'll see you Monday." said Noah.
"Do you need me to come out and help you? I am your new assistant and all" replied Kris.
Noah laughs "No No you guys go have fun. If for some reason I do, you'll be the first person I call." he said.
"Okay Noah, see you Monday."
Kris told Dani Noah had an emergency and couldn't make it out.
"You ready," Dani asked?
Kris shook her head. "Lets go." she was excited to see Junior tonight.
At Bobby's
Matt arrived first. He got a table and sat down. He glances over and sees Laura with a group of friends. She smiles and waves at him while in a deep conversation.
Kris and Dani arrive next.
"Look at you two beautiful ladies" matt said. He got up and gave them both a hug.
Kris couldn't help but look around for Junior. They sat down and ordered some drinks. They started talking about wildfire while waiting. They laughed and joking around like old times.
Kris started wondering where Junior was but Dani read her mind.
"Where's Junior?" wondered Dani.
Matt shook his head, "I haven't seen him yet. Laura's here though." Both girls looked around the room for Laura. Matt was right, there she was. Laura locked eyes with them as she smiled and waved.
"I wonder if Junior invited her to hangout tonight" Kris thought to herself a little disappointed. "Why wouldn't he, I mean she is his girlfriend now."
Junior arrives at Bobby's and walks in. The first person he sees was Kris. "Wow she looks beautiful tonight like always" he thought. He couldn't help but smile as he was eager to wrap his arms around her in a hug again. He just stood there for a few mins and watched how her smile lit up the whole room. He continued walking towards them but got stopped by a voice he soon recognized.
"Baby what are you doing here" shrieked his girlfriend Laura now a lil tipsy. She was very excited to see him.
He was stunned to see her. "Damn it" he thought, "I didn't know she was going to be here tonight" he smiled and gave her a hug.
Kris's eyes were wandering around the room still looking for Junior.
"Another round?" asked Matt. Both girls nodded.
"How did you know I was here?" she asked? "I didn't" he quietly responded. She didn't hear him. He couldn't tell her that he was meeting the gang here and not ask her to join them.
"Come come, lets get a drink baby. Everyone's here" she said. "Even Matt, Dani and Kris" as she pointed over in their direction.
Junior didn't know what to do. He didn't want to hurt Laura's feelings. If she ever found out he never intended to invite her tonight she'd be crushed. He decided not to correct Laura and just go along with it. He just hopes Kris doesn't hate him for it. It was killing him not to just run over there and hangout with his friends.
"Laura is my life now" he whispered softly. He walked over and greeted her friends.
At this time, Kris sees Junior from afar.
"Is he not going to come over?" she wondered. "He said he was going to meet us."
"Look there's Junior" Dani pointed out. They all turned to look. "What is he doing?" they all wondered.
Kris looked away.
"Baby lets go say hello to Matt, Dani and Kris." she said taking his hand as she leads him in their direction.
Junior took a deep breath. "Here it goes."
"Here they come" said Dani.
"Hey guys what's up?" asked Matt.
"Hi everyone, fancy meeting you guys here. What's the occasion?" asked Laura
Dani filled her in. "Congrats" she said turning her attention now to Kris.
"Thanks" replied Kris.
"What about you?" Kris asked.
Laura explained how sweet Junior was for coming out and surprising her tonight when he said he was busy w/work.
Kris, Dani and Matt were very confused at what she was saying.
Kris looked up at Junior and saw right through him. She knew exactly what was going on.
Matt opened his mouth to speak but Kris cut him off- "Yes, wow wasn't he so sweet to surprise Laura DANI?" Kris looked to a confused Dani.
She caught on. Kris loved her new friendship with Dani. It was great that Dani was able to read what Kris was thinking.
"Oh yes, that's my brother" Dani said.
By now Junior just stared at the ground. He knew he hurt Kris. It was a special night for her and he blew it.
Matt just kept his mouth shut very confused.
Bobby came over to say hello. Dani and Laura started talking which left Kris and Junior. Their eyes locked on one another and they didn't say a word. It felt like there was no one else in the club but them. Laura glanced over and saw the way Junior and Kris were looking at each other.
Dani watched as Laura's face expression changed and she knew why.
"Baby you ready to go? asked Laura
Junior and Kris snapped out of their daze.
"Baby I think we should stay here and join them for awhile." responded Junior.
"But Junior my friends are waiting for me." she said getting irritated.
"Why don't you join them and we'll meet up later?" asked Junior.
By now Laura was getting upset. "Baby can I talk to you alone." she demanded.
"Excuse us". Junior and Laura walked off.
Dani and Kris looked at each other. "Lets dance" said Dani. She grabbed Kris's hand and lead her to the dance floor. She grabbed Matt's hand before it was too late.
They danced, laughed and had a good time.
Meanwhile Junior and Laura were starting to fight.
"Junior what is going on?" she asked.
"Nothing, I just want to hangout with my friends."
"Is it Kris?" she asked. "It is, isn't it?"
Junior was getting frustrated. He just wanted to come out, see Kris and have fun. He just sighed and didn't know what to say.
"Laura you had to much to drink, you don't know what your saying."
Junior, do you still love me?" she asked him now with tears in her eyes.
Kris couldn't help but look over in Junior's direction.
Junior sighed "Of course I do Laura. How could you ask me that?"
"Then come and spend time with me." she said. She didn't want Junior hanging out with Kris.
"Laura, it's a special night for Kris," he began-
She stormed off. "Laura," he yelled. He had to go after her.
Kris watched as Junior ran after Laura.Dani, Matt and Kris continue to celebrate even after Junior left running after Laura. Dani had a little to much to drink so they decided to call it a night.
"Thanks for coming out Matt" said Kris as she goes in to give him a hug. "You're such a great friend".
"Friend he thought?" Kris saw the sadness in his eyes.
She smiled at him. "I'm sorry Matt." she thought to herself.
"We'll see you Monday at the clinic" said Kris "I've got to get Dani home."
"See you then. Night ladies-drive home safety."
...
Junior followed Laura back to her place. He watched as she got home safety. She wouldn't answer any of her calls so he decided he didn't want to fight anymore with her tonight so he took off from there.
"I need to talk to Kris" he thought out loud." He headed over to Danni's place.
...
"Okay Dani, we're almost there. Come on, there you go" said Kris.
"Kris, I love you." said Dani. Kris just laughs.
"Dani, I love you too."
"I'm so glad you're back. We've missed you"
"We've" said Kris out loud while trying to hold up Dani as well as unlock the door.
"We've is right." said a voice from behind.
Kris turns around and finds Junior smiling at her.
"You scared me." she said. "What are you doing here Junior?"
"We need to talk, can I come in?" asked Junior.
"Junior it's late, I'm tired and I have to get Dani into bed" she explained.
"Kris please." She couldn't resist his charm.
"Okay, come on in. I'll be right out."
...
"Matt thanks for coming out, you're such a great friend" was all he could replay in his head. "Friend? Is that all I am to her? A Friend?" Matt changes and gets into bed. He's still stunned.
"What happened to you Kris? What happened to us?" he thought. "Did your feelings for me really change in 6months?" Matt couldn't sleep as he tossed and turned.
At Laura's
"Do you still even love me Junior?" Laura thought with tears in her eyes as she layed in bed. "what happened to us? she thought. "We've never fought and we always made time for each other. Why did she have to come back into town?" asked an angry Laura "I'm not going to lose you Junior. I love you to much." she drifted to sleep
...
"Kris got Dani into bed and headed to her room to change into her pjs. She wondered what Junior wanted to talk to her about at 3 o'clock in the morning.
"Sorry I took so long. You want something to drink Junior?" asked Kris.
No thanks. "Lets talk" he said.
She sat down next to him indian style.
"Kris I'm sorry about tonight" he began "I know it was a special night for you and I ruined it. I said I was going to be there and brought all this drama with me."
Kris sat there and listened to Junior continue.
"Junior"- she began to say but Junior cut her off.
He explained how Laura wanted to hangout tonight but he said he couldn't because he was busy, then he received her big news and wanted to spend it with her, Dani and Matt. As he walked in, he ran right into Laura and didn't want to hurt her feelings.
Kris understood.
"Junior it's okay, she's you're girlfriend." Kris said with sadness. "I have to accept that she will always come first in your life. We'll always be friends," Kris explained. She watched as Junior frowns. "Im not upset really." I'm glad I got to see you though" she smiled as she playful hits him in the shoulder.
I meant what I said at the door Kris, we've missed you. I'm glad you're back. He smiled at her. She returned the smile, it's good to be back. He leaned in and gave her a hug." There it was again, that feeling they both missed. Junior closed his eyes as he hugged her tighter. She let him.
They broke apart.
"It's been so long since we've talked this late" she said.
He smiled and nodded his head.
"Is everything okay with you and Laura?" she asked.
"Yeah, we'll be fine. She had a little to much to drink, she didn't know what she was saying. I made sure she got home safety, but didn't feel like fighting with her anymore tonight so I came to talk to you. We'll figure it out later" he said.
Kris just nodded.
"So tell me what's been going on these past 6months" she said.
They both got comfy on the couch, and Junior started filling her in on his life. After about 15mins of him talking, he realized she fell asleep. "Kris?" he looked over at her. As he quietly moved without getting up from the couch, he grabbed the tiny blanket that was folded on the other side of her, her body then shifted towards him. She was now in his arms. She rested her head on his shoulder. She looked so beautiful and peaceful that he didn't want to wake her up. He knew that she didn't get enough sleep today. He threw the shaw over her and let her sleep on him. She fully hugged him now not realizing it. He smiled as he drifted to sleep thinking about the good times he had with Kris when they were together. He loved how she fell asleep in his arms and he woke up to her sweet kisses.
The next morning
Dani got up early trying to remember what happened last night. She laughed when she remembered her telling Kris she loved her. She was curious if Kris was up yet.
She walked towards Kris's room and saw that her door was open. "hmm, Kris must have left already." she thought. "Her bed was made."
Dani decided to take something to get rid of her headache. "I drank to much for sure" she thought to herself. She heads over towards the kitchen and freezes dead in her tracks. She thought she was seeing things.
"Omg, is that ?? It can't be." She rubbed her eyes. "How did this happened? How is this possible? What happened last night?" she asked herself. She pinched herself just to make sure she's not dreaming. As soon as she realized it was real, she covered her mouth from screaming and from getting excited. "Yup," she nodded. There lays Kris and Junior asleep on the couch wrapped in each other's arms.
Kris started to wake up and soon realized she was waking up in Junior's arms. A smile forms at her face until she realized it wasn't a dream. She forgot where she was for a minute there until she saw Dani looking at her in disbelief with a smile on her face. Kris looked from Dani to Junior, Junior to Dani.
"Dani, this isn't what you think." Kris tried to explain.
Dani laughs and puts her hand up for Kris to relax.
Junior starts to wake up, and forgets where he was. He looked from Kris to Dani, Dani to Kris. Kris has an embarrassed look on her face after being caught by Dani.
"What happened last night?" she asked them.
"Junior wanted to explain what happened last night at Bobby's" Kris explained. "We must have been very tired from talking last night" said Kris -
"Yeah it was late, we must have just fell asleep not know it." he jumped in.
"Coffee?" asked Dani
"Yes please" responded Junior not catching her eye.
Dani just smiled and shook her head.
"I-I-I-'m gonna go get ready to go see Wildfire. I will see you in a bit Dani." she smiled at them both and walked off.
