Chessy sat watching Scott get ready to leave.
"You expect me not to say anything to Kali?" Chessy asked.
Scott sighed and sat down beside Chessy and took her hand.
"Look, I could have not told you, but we agreed a long time ago..no lies between us..Thats why I told you. Kali would freak out if she knew what Kevin was doing." Scott said.
"I know, I just don't like being in the middle." She said.
Scott pulled her on his lap and kissed her till her head was spinning.
"I love you Chessy..I don't like this either, but I would do the same as Kevin, if someone threatened you."
"I know..I wont say anything."
"Good girl." He said giving her another kiss.
"What am I a damn dog, Good girl?" She said rolling her eyes.
"Well you sure was happy being my good girl, last night." Scott said winking at her.
"Your impossible." She said turning red remembering the hot sex they had last night and this morning.
"I know, but you love me anyway." He said grinning.
"Yea I do." She said and gave him another kiss.
"Give that bastard a good kick in the balls for me." Chessy said.
"You're such a bloodthirsty little thing, thats one of the things I love about you." Scott said chuckling.
Chessy grinned, she hoped they broke his body into pieces.
Kevin was getting his stuff together.
"I wont be gone too long..I want to you to careful..If you go anywhere take Mark or Shawn with you." Kevin said.
"I will, don't worry." She said getting up and wrapping her arms around him.
Kevin returned her hug.
"Kevin do you haf to go?" Misha asked from her place at the table coloring.
Kevin went over and knelt down beside her.
"Yea I do, But hopefully I will be here when you get up in the morning, this place has a great indoor heated pool, we'll go swimming and take a trip to the toy store, theres a big one here in New York and you can pick out anything you want."
"Really, promise?" Misha asked.
"I promise and besides, you have Mommy and Aunt Chessy to play with and Uncle Mark and Uncle Shawn are right down the hall, if you get lonely." He said.
"Well, Okay..but hurry back." She said hugging his neck.
"I will Princess." Kevin said hugging her and kissing her cheek.
"Alright Girls, I have to get, before I miss my flight." Kevin said standing up. He walked over and pulled Kali into a crushing hug.
"Be careful..I'll see you soon." Kevin said kissing her lips for a long moment.
"I will and hurry back." She said smiling up at him.
Kevin smiled and nodded and left.
Kevin took the offered drink on the plane. He needed it to settle his nerves.
"Bro don't go and get drunk." Scott said dropping in the empty seat beside him.
"I'm not." Kevin said.
"So how did you get a lead on this guy?" Scott asked.
"Vince got me the info where Kali was hired from and simple enough finding James Newman in Beckley, West Virginia ..Only one that lives there..He's a real estate agent." Kevin said.
"The flight is only a little over an hour..we'll grab a rental, take care of this and head back" Scott said.
"Sounds simple enough, lets hope it is." Kevin said.
"Scotty, thanks for coming with me..and you know just listening to me rant and rave, the last couple of days." Kevin said.
"You been there for me Kev, it goes both ways..Besides..Kali and Misha are family..Me and Chessy think the world of them, no way would I let anyone hurt them." Scott said.
Kevin nodded. He just wanted that asshole to get the message to stay out of Kali's life for good.
Chessy and Kali fixed hamburgers and hot dogs and invited Shawn and Mark over to eat with them. Both girls were missing there guys and wanted some company.
"God how do you eat so much?" Chessy said.
Mark grinned.
"Darlin..I'm a big guy..I need the energy." Mark said still shoveling in food.
"Besides how often..do we get real food?" Shawn asked grabbing more of the homemade potato salad.
Misha laughed. "Thats why they so big Aunt Chessy..they eat a lot."
Kali smiled. It was nice having the guys here. It made her feel a little safer with Kevin gone.
"I'm done Mommy." Misha said.
"Okay..lets get you dressed for bed and then you can come in and say goodnight." Kali said picking Misha up and carrying her to her room.
"So Mark, you dating anyone serious?" Chessy asked.
Mark gave her a look and Shawn smirked. The girl was at it again.
"No..I'm not looking to date anyone serious either." He said closing the subject.
Shawn looked back to Chessy, he knew she wasn't done.
"Aw come on Mark..I know this really nice sweet girl in catering..she would be perfect for you..." Chessy started.
"Chessy...NO..If you try any of this matchmaking crap on me..I guarantee you wont like my reaction." Mark said glaring at her.
"Your turn Chessy." Shawn said egging it on.
"Well Fine, you old grumpy bitch...no wonder you don't have a girlfriend...You're a fucking ass!" Chessy said crossing her arms.
"Hey hey..theres a child in the other room." Shawn said wishing he hadn't encouraged this.
Mark pushed his chair back and stood up.
"Listen here little girl..You don't talk to me like that, I'll tan your hide." Mark said fully pissed off now.
"Oh I would just love to see you try..not to mention the fact, Scott would pound you flat." Chessy said standing up as well.
"Alright guys just chill out." Shawn said.
They hadn't seen Misha come in the room.
"Uncle Mark..I don't think Aunt Chessy wants a spank..Maybe you should just put her in the corner." Misha said.
Shawn burst out in laughter. He could see Mark trying to put Chessy in a corner..he would come back with bloody nubs for hands.
Mark smiled and looked down at Misha.
"Uncle Mark just lost his temper..I'm fine now."
Kali looked at Mark and Chessy..she could see both were still pretty mad, but was trying not to show it in front of Misha.
"How about I read you a bedtime story, since Kevin's not here?" Shawn asked scooping the little girl up.
"Okay..can I have five, Kevin always reads me five." She asked hopefully.
"Sure thing sweetheart." Shawn said.
"I'll help you clean up and I'm going to turn in." Chessy said.
Kali and Chessy washed dishes while Mark cleared the plates and wiped down the table.
Chessy got through and dried her hands.
"Night Kali and thanks for dinner..Give Misha a kiss for me and like that she was gone.
Mark sighed and leaned against the counter.
"You okay?" Kali asked.
"Yea..Me and Chessy do that once in awhile..she's hard headed and so am I, we go a few rounds and cool down and then we're fine again." Mark said.
Kali nodded. She hoped so. Chessy sure was mad.
"Thanks for dinner, it was great."
"No problem..I'm glad you enjoyed it." Kali said.
Shawn came out of Misha's room.
"She's sound sleep."
"Thanks Shawn." Kali said.
Shawn nodded.
"I'm going to head on out..Good night Kali." Mark said.
"Night."
"Remember if you need anything..Me and Shawn are just down the hall." Mark said.
"Thanks Mark."
Mark left and Shawn grabbed a soda and sat down.
"Are you okay by yourself...cause I can crash on the couch if you don't want to be alone?" Shawn asked.
"Thanks Shawn, thats very sweet, but we'll be fine." Kali said.
"Look don't worry about Mark and Chessy..they bump heads sometimes..but it passes quickly. Mark has old fashioned ideas about how women should act and he cant stand for a woman to stand up to him, it really gets him and then you got Chessy who wouldn't back down from anything, so they clash..but they will kiss and make up tomorrow and everything will be fine." Shawn said.
"Good..I don't like to see them fighting." Kali said.
"Well its actually interesting if it don't go to far." He said grinning.
Kali shook her head, she had a feeling, Shawn might have encouraged them into the argument and it had just went to far.
"I'll see you tomorrow and thanks for dinner." Shawn said standing up.
"Okay..good night." She said.
Kali locked the door behind him and went to get ready for bed. She was hoping Kevin would call before she went to bed, but she hadn't heard from him.
Kevin sat in the rental looking at the large house. Their flight had been delayed and had got here later than expected. Plus they got lost trying to find the house.
"Man it's obvious this guys got money and meanwhile Kali is killing herself trying to take care of Misha." Scott said.
Kevin nodded..this guy must be a real piece of work.
"Well lets go." Kevin said.
They walked up to the front door and rang the bell.
After the minute the door was opened by a small blond woman. She was dressed expensively and her nails and makeup were perfect.
"Is James here?" Kevin asked.
"Umm No..he's out of town on business, are you friends of his?" The woman asked giving them a look that said she knew these men would be no friend of James.
"You could say we're friends of a friend..do you know when he will be back?" Scott asked.
"No clue..He said in three or four days..do you want to leave a message?" She asked.
"No we'll just come back later." Kevin said.
"Goodnight." Scott said and they turned and walked back to the rental.
"We need to get back to New York..He may be trying to track Kali down as we speak." Scott said.
"Yea I know..I'm going to call Kali and tell her we'll be back in the morning." Kevin said.
"I'll call Shawn and tell him to keep a close eye on Kali and Misha, just in case." Scott said.
Kali jumped as her cell rang. She saw it was Kevin and answered it.
"Hey you." She said smiling.
"Hey yourself Cupcake..I didn't wake you did I?" he asked.
"No I was just laying here, wishing you were with me." Kali said.
"I'll be back in the morning..I have a flight out at four in the morning." He said.
"Good I miss you." Kali said.
"I miss you to honey..get some rest..I'll see you soon."
"Goodnight." Kali said and hung up. She smiled and burrowed under the covers. She was glad Kevin would be back soon.
Scott sat down beside Kevin at the airport.
"Shawn said he was keeping a close eye on things and not to worry." Scott said.
"I just talked to Kali and she was fine, but I'll feel better once we're back."
"Did you talk to Chessy?" Kevin asked.
"Yea, she said they all had dinner together..her and Mark got into it, she didn't say what about." Scott said.
Kevin laughed. "Two hard heads, what else is new?" he said.
"Yea I know." Scott said.
"We got a few hours before the flight..I don't really want to sleep in here." Scott said.
"Me either..Lets grab some coffee." Kevin said.
Kevin unlocked the door and slipped in quietly..It was still early and he didn't wants to wake Misha and Kali.
He went in his and Kali's room and pulled his clothes off and went to take a shower.
He was glad to be back with Kali, but he was worried about where James was and what he was doing.
He sighed and rinsed off. He got out toweling his self off and went back in the bedroom and grabbed some sweats.
Kevin smiled as he slid in the bed and propped up on his elbow and watched Kali sleep. She was so beautiful. He reached over and pushed a strand of hair off her face. She looked so peaceful. He pulled her against him and wrapped his arm around her. She sighed deeply in her sleep and turend to press her face to his chest.
Kevin smiled and closed his eyes. Life was damn good and hell if he was going to let her ex screw it up for them.
Kevin came awake to warm lips on his, he opened his eyes to find Kali kissing him. Kevin deepened the kiss.
Kali sat up after a minute grinning.
"What a wonderful way to wake up." Kevin said sitting up.
"I couldn't resist." Kali said.
"You're dressed..how long have you been up?"
"Couple of hours, we're meeting everyone downstairs at the breakfast buffet, you want to come?" Kali asked.
"Sure, let me get dressed and we'll head down." He said.
He pulled her back for another kiss and then let her up.
Kevin walked out of the bedroom a few minutes later in blue jeans and a white t shirt. Kali didn't understand how someone could make plain clothes look so damn good.
"Kevin!" Misha yelled.
"Hey Princess." Kevin said bending down to hug her.
"Mommy wouldn't let me wake you up, she said you were tired." Misha said.
"I was, but I'm up now. Lets go have breakfast and then we'll head to the pool in a little while."
"And the toy store?" Misha asked jumping up and down.
"Yes and the toy store." Kevin said laughing.
"Hey guys we're sitting over here"
Kali smiled as she seen Chessy waving at them from across the room.
"I'm going to get the Princess something to eat, I'll be over in a minute." Kevin said as him and Misha headed for the buffet.
Kali went over to the long table Chessy was sitting at.
"Where's everyone else?" Kali asked.
"Shawn and Scott are getting something to eat, I haven't seen Mark" Chessy said.
Kali could tell Chessy was upset that Mark wasn't here.
"Maybe he overslept." Kali said.
"Maybe." Chessy said.
"Come on lets get something to eat." Kali said.
Chessy got up and they headed for the buffet.
They all got their food and sat down.
"I got a date this morning..so I'm going to have to eat and run." Shawn said grinning.
Chessy rolled her eyes. Shawn's idea of a date was meeting a ring rat for sex.
Scott and Kevin smirked, they knew what Shawn was up to.
Chessy seen Mark come in and got up and excused herself.
"Kiss and make up time." Shawn said to Kali laughing.
Kevin and Scott laughed to. This was regular occurrence.
"Can I get more fruit?" Misha asked.
"Come on baby doll, I'm going to get more juice, I'll take you." Scott said.
Misha happily skipped along beside Scott and he helped her get more fruit.
"Hey Scott, this your kid?"
"Hey Dave..no this is Kali's daughter." He said.
Misha hid behind Scott's leg. This man was big, she remembered what Kevin said about meeting new people.
Scott lifted Misha in his arms.
"Dave this is Misha, Misha this is Dave, he works with us and your Mommy works with him too." Scott said.
Misha looked at him shyly.
"Hi" She said.
"You sure are pretty..you look like your mommy." Dave said smiling.
Misha looked at him, he was big, but he had nice eyes and he was Uncle Scott's friend.
"Thank you." she said.
"Want to join us for breakfast?" Scott asked.
"Sure, I'll be over in a minute." Dave said.
Chessy walked over to where Mark was. He was checking out the buffet.
"Hey." Chessy said looking down at her feet.
"Hey." Mark grunted back at her.
"I'm sorry I yelled at you and called you, a grumpy old bitch." Chessy said.
" Yea, I didn't mean to get so bent out of shape either, sorry I yelled at you." Mark said gruffly.
Chessy finally looked up at him, she had never quite got over the case of hero worship, she had for him, plus the fact he had become a good friend..
Chessy grinned at him.
Mark just chuckled and grabbed her and gave her a hug.
"I don't know why I cant stay mad at you." Mark said.
"Cause I'm so damn cute." She said grinning.
Mark just shook his head. "Go finish eating, I'll join you guys in a minute."
Chessy smiled and went back to the table.
"See I told you." Shawn said pointing to Chessy and Mark talking.
Kali laughed.
"Guess I was worried for nothing"
Dave had joined them and Misha was warming up to him, and telling him all about her pink unicorn and what she was going to do today.
Chessy walked over and sat back down beside Scott.
"Hey Dave."
"Hey Chessy"
"Heard you were joining our little group, Kali is a great PA..I'm sure you're going to love her like we do." Chessy said.
"Scott is the one who told me what a great job she did." Dave said.
Kali blushed at their praise, she tried to do a good job, she was glad everyone liked her.
The group finished eating and began to split up.
"Gotta run guys." Shawn said.
"Have fun." Mark said.
"You know it"
"We're heading to the pool." Kevin said pulling out Kali's chair for her.
"Want to come?" Kevin asked Chessy and Scott.
"No." Scott said and pulled out Chessy's chair for her.
Chessy grinned and walked over to Kali.
"Baby making." She whispered in Kali's ear.
Kali laughed and waved at them as they left.
Mark got up and said he was going to go work out and Dave told him he would join him.
"Well its just the three of us." Kevin said picking Misha up.
"Let's go." Misha said eagerly.
Kevin laughed and the three of them headed back to the room to change into swimsuits.
