Disclaimer: Don't own Power Rangers. I only own the plot.
Groaning softly as she looked out the doors of her balcony, Kimberly placed her forehead against the cool glass as the rain pelted down. Crossing her arms over her chest Kimberly watched as lightening lit up the dark sky. Running her fingers through her hair, she pulled the sleeves down to her shirt as she stepped out of her room. Her light pink fluffy slippers padded against the wooden floor as she walked down the stairs; stepping into the kitchen, Kimberly walked to the fridge and she pulled out a bottle of apple juice. Shaking it in her hand,Kimberly walked to the living room and she sat down on the couch. Grabbing the remote she turned on the TV and flipped through the channels.
Turning her head as she heard the doorbell ring, Kimberly dropped the remote and she stood up. "Hang on, I'm coming" she called as she walked towards the door. Looking through the peep hole her heart fluttered as she saw Tommy on the other side. Ever since she had dinner with his family a few days ago she had felt closer to him. Unlocking the door Kimberly opened it and she stepped aside to let him in. "Hey Tommy" Tommy smiled at her and he removed his hood, taking off his jacket . Kimberly took it from him and she put it on a hanger to dry off.
"Hey Beautiful" Tommy said as he wrapped his arms around her. Kim smiled and she leaned into him, her face buried in the crook of his neck, smelling is cologne. Tommy kissed the side of your head as he held her to him. "I hope you don't mind me coming over"
"Of course I don't mind it, I'm glad you came over" Kim murmured against his neck. Stepping back from the hug Kimberly smiled at him and they walked into the living room together. Tommy took her hand in his and he start to play with her fingers. "I thought I would be stuck here alone until my aunt came back from work" Tommy smirked and a little and he leaned over and kissed her.
"I wouldn't leave you alone. I remember you telling me that you hate to be alone when it's raining" Tommy rubbed his nose against hers. Kimberly giggled and she pressed her lips against his softly "So here I am" Tommy murmured against her lips. Kim smiled and she pulled back from the kiss, surprised he remembered that from one of their many talks.
"Wow you remembered that? You're usually very forgetful" Kimberly teased. Tommy laughed and he put his arm around her shoulder.
"I'm not always forgetful" Tommy replied. Kim smirked and she raised an eyebrow as she glanced at him. "Alright fine I'm forgetful a lot" Kimberly laughed and she leaned against Tommy's side.
"Okay that's better" As he laughed, Tommy pulled Kimberly's body a little tighter to his and she let out a soft laugh as he pressed his lips to the top of her head.
"Don't act like you never forgot something Beautiful" Tommy said as he played with a few strands of her hair.
"I forget things but not as bad as you do." Kimberly said as she sat up a little straighter. "You were even late last night for movie night at Kat's house, even though I reminded you a few hours before!" Tommy laughed and he leaned forward and pressed his lips against hers. She did have a point, he was very forgetful it was his worse trait. No matter how hard he tried he would always forget something important. Breaking away from the kiss, Tommy gently ran his fingers through Kimberly's light hair.
"Okay, point taken" Tommy replied as he watched Kimberly leaning her head against his shoulder at his touch. For a few moments the couple just sat in silence together. Tommy gently played with the fingers on her right hand as she placed it on her lap. Kim sighed softly and she closed her eyes, she enjoyed spending time with just the two of them. It was one of the many things that she knew she would miss. Kimberly let out a groan as she heard the loud ring of the telephone. "That so just killed the moment." Kim sat up and she smirked at Tommy.
"I'll go get that." Kim replied softly. Tommy moved his arms from around her; Kimberly stood up and she quickly walked to the kitchen. Leaning against the kitchen counter, Kimberly grabbed the phone and she looked at caller ID to see it was her mother, hitting the talk button she placed the phone to her ear.
"Hey, mom" Kim sat down on a stool and she gazed out at the living room towards Tommy, who was searching for something to watch on the tv. Kim glanced over at the clock on the stove, it would be pretty late in Florida right now, what was her mother doing up?
"Hi, sweetie how are things going in Angel Grove?"
"Everything is going good, it's just raining here right now" Kim idly played with the string on the kitchen window. "And it kind of stopped my plans for the day.."
"Oh that's too bad, but you can always do whatever you had planned tomorrow , right?"
"Um yeah I guess I can" Kim murmured. "Mom, what are you doing up so late? You're not usually up too late."
"I know I'm not, but I was at an art gallery and then I went out to eat with Pierre. You remember him right?" Kim yanked on the string to the blinds a little and she sat up straighter.
"Yeah I remember him. But I just don't get why you are going on a date with him, you and daddy aren't even divorced" Kim said softly.
"Yet, Kimberly" Kim bit down on her lip a little and she started drumming her fingernails on the counter. "You can't expect me to stay single forever"
"I don't mom, it's just seems a little sudden that's all" Kimberly tugged on the sleeve of her shirt and turned around on the stool. "Mom, I gotta go. I'll talk to you later"
"Okay,I'll call you after I get some rest. I love you"
"Love you too" Kim hung up the phone and she placed it on the base. Rubbing her hands together she let out a sigh; she never would've thought her mom would be dating. Was that one of the reasons why she sent her out to Angel Grove. Standing up, she began walking back to the living room. She sat down beside Tommy and she looked straight at the tv without saying a word. Tommy placed the remote down on the table in front of them and he looked over at Kimberly, she looked like she was deep in thought and he knew she was upset about something.
"Are you okay?" Tommy asked as he gently squeezed her hand. Breaking her gaze away from the tv, Kim sighed and she ran her free hand through her hair. She never told any of her knew friends about the things going on with her family back home. Laying her head back against the couch she looked up at the ceiling and sighed more loudly this time. Tommy squeezed her hand again and he picked it up and kissed it. "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to. I know it's none of my business"
"No it's okay" Kim sat up and she turned her head face him. "The reason why I'm down here is because my parents are getting a divorce. They didn't want me around any of the drama that would be going on"
"Wow, I'm sorry. That must suck" Kimberly ran her fingers through her hair and she nodded her head yes.
"It does. And to top it all of my mom was out on a date with some guy she works with" Kim said softly as she glanced down at her hands. "I mean I was upset about the whole divorce thing, but my mom going out on a date is making it more real to me. And I'm actually glad they sent me here, I rather not be there to see her dating someone" Tommy put his arm around her shoulder and he kissed the top of her head. Kimberly put both arms around his waist and she pressed her head against his chest.
"I know things must suck right now, but I'm sure it'll get better for you" Kimberly looked up and she pressed her lips against his cheek. "Who knows, you might even be okay with the fact your mom is dating when you go back home"
"I might, but I won't make any promises" Tommy laughed and he hugged her a little tighter."The guy is alright, but I don't know if I'll be fine right away with him dating my mom "
"It takes time to get used to new things Beautiful" Tommy said as he looked down at her. Kimberly sat up in and she curled her legs up onto the couch. It was true what he said, it took her some time to get used to being in Angel Grove and she actually liked it, she liked it way better than being in Florida. Maybe she will actually get used to the fact that her parents will be dating new people now, and even more when their divorced is finalized.
"I know, I'll be getting used to a lot of new things when I go back home" Tommy kissed her forehead and he hugged her again. It actually felt good for her to open up about her feelings about her parents situation. She never spoke to it about to anyone, not even her own best friend. After keeping her feelings bottled up, it felt like a huge weight was taken off of her. She never would've been able to open up like that to any of the guys she knew back in Florida, and because of that it was actually starting to be the best relationship she had even if it was going to be short romance.
