The Green Eye Monster
Kim was preparing coffee in the kitchen when Aisha and Trini came in.
"Morning girls!" Kim said.
"So how did everything go last night? You seem rather happy" Aisha asked sitting in one of the stools.
"I am, everything went rather badly." Kim answered smiling.
"Then why are you so happy?" Trini asked confused.
"I just am! Can you believe my grandparents were there last night?" Kim said.
"Wait, you mean your father parents?" Trini asked. "Did you talk to them?" Trini asked surprised.
"Yes I did, they apologized for everything and they want to spend some time with me." Kim said
"Well you seem pretty happy about that. So how did the others treat you?" Aisha said.
"Pretty bad actually. They were saying mean things like I'm nothing and I'm not worth anything, that I am nobody but the worst part was Toms mom, she hates me like you guys have no idea, she was pretty hateful towards me until she found out who my grandparents were then she tried to be nice to me but I was so piss that I told her I didn't wanted her apology and now she hates me again."
"I can't believe Toms mother, I mean what's her problem?" Trini asked.
"It's all about status with her but I don't care anymore, now everyone knows I'm the granddaughter of a duke and duchess and now everyone wants to be my friend." Kim said.
"What are you going to do about that?" Aisha asked.
"There's nothing I can do, I just have to be careful with whoever approaches me." Kim said.
"Well I'm sorry about that. It seems you and Tom are still together." Aisha said.
"We are." She assured them. "Trini you should hurry up we have practice at 9:00." Kim said.
"I know, I'm just so tired, can't wait to go on that trip." Trini said.
"Just two more weeks." Aisha said.
"Well I'm going to get ready." Kim said.
Galvin, Regan and Aidan arrived a week before so they could see NK. They were staying in the loft and the guys show them around.
Kim was with Galvin, Regan and Aidan having lunch in a coffee shop.
"So Kim, you and Tom are together?" Galvin asked with a mischievous grin.
"Yes Galvin we are together." Kim said.
"What can I say? I really hate the lad, I wonder how did he manage to get you, god knows I've been trying for years and he suddenly comes from nowhere and gets you, I should have let him kill himself when I was teaching him to hang glide." Galvin said.
"Do you really like him? I remember he was proud and all, you are not like that at all and I know you are not with him for interest." Regan asked.
"Of course I like him! And you guys know me and I'm sorry Galvin but you and me will never happen. You are not for me and I'm not for you. Besides you hit on almost every single girl you see." Kim said.
"But darling you are the one! For you I will settle down, who wouldn't?" Galvin said joking.
"Just don't do anything to make Tom mad on the trip Galvin." Kim said knowing Galvin.
"What are you talking about? ye know I would never do such a thing." He said innocently.
"Whatever you say my friend. Well I have to go meet Tom, see you guys later." Kim said standing up.
"Why don't we come with ye? Haven't seen him since we arrive here and he is coming on the trip with us so…" Galvin suggested.
"I know you Galvin, you just want to annoy him." Kim said.
"I promise you I won't." Galvin said not believing himself.
"Oh come on Kimmy! We have nothing else to do! We saw the whole city already!" Aidan exclaimed.
"Yeah let us go with you!" Regan also join the other two.
"Fine! come on." They all stood up and followed Kim to the subway station.
The 4 arrive at the building and went to Toms office. Haley was in her desk.
"Hi Kim, see you brought company." Haley said looking at the 3 tall handsome men that were behind Kim.
"Yeah I feel like a dwarf next to them. Um these are Galvin, Regan and Aidan they are friends from Ireland, Guys this is Haley."
"Well nice to meet you Haley, you seem Irish yourself." Galvin said.
"Well I'm not, I have Scottish relatives though. So have you already met Tom?" Haley asked.
"Yeah we met him in Wicklow, got to spend some time with him." Aidan replied.
"Oh well I'll call him for you Kim." Haley said.
"Can I see him in his office please?" Kim begged.
"Sure, let me announce you first." Haley said
"This is like a movie; ye have to be announce to see your boyfriend? Hahaha" Galvin laugh.
"Galvin what did I told you?" Kim warned.
"Oh come on Kim, I Just think is funny that's all." Galvin said.
"Now I know why you and Rocky get along so well, you are both idiots!" Kim said.
"If you guys don't mind I will call Tom now." Haley interrupted their little dispute.
"Please do Haley and forgive this idiot." Kim said
"Tom, Kim is here; can I send her to your office?" Haley asked.
"Sure tell her to come in." Tom said.
"You guys wait here." Kim said.
"Why can't we go with ye? don't ye want us to see how you greet your partner?" Galvin said.
"Of course I don't want you to see how I greet him!" Kim said walking away agitated while the other 3 laughed.
"Wow you really know how to make her mad." Haley said to the 3 of them.
Kim opened Toms door and found him staring out the windows with his hands in his pockets.
"Hey" Kim said.
Tom turned around and smile. "Hey, I've been waiting all day to see you." he said walking towards her, he engulfed her in a hug and kissed her.
"Yeah me too, listen um Galvin, Regan and Aidan insisted on coming with me, I hope you don't mind." Kim said shyly.
"Oh should I mind?" Tom asked.
"I didn't know if you wanted to spend some alone time with me and Galvin can be a bit of annoying." Kim said.
"I'll have more days to spend with you so I don't mind. Galvin is the hang glider instructor right? He didn't seem annoying to me when I met him."
"Well you were his client, he wasn't going to jeopardize his way of life by bothering you."
"You know I have no problem with hitting back." Tom said
"Please just try to control yourself, I already asked him but he is like a child."
"Is he like Rocky?" Tom asked.
"Even worst!" Kim said.
"Great! I'll do my best to control my temper but I can't promise you anything." Tom said. "I'm going to change my clothes, don't want to be in a suit all day."
"Ok, I will be with the guys waiting." Kim said giving him a quick peck in the lips and walk out the office.
"So where's the lad?" Aidan asked.
"He'll be here in a minute." Kim answered. A couple of minutes later Tom appears.
" Hey guys!" Tom greeted the others.
"Tom! good to see you again." Aidan said.
"Yeah, so are you having fun here in NK?" Tom asked them.
"Of course we have the best tour guides in the city." Regan said.
"So this place belongs to you?" Galvin asked looking around.
"Um well it belongs to my family but I'm in charge here, so yeah it kinds of belongs to me. So do you guys want to do something in particular?" Tom asked.
"We have seen already everything, maybe we can do something different today." Regan said.
"Have you seen the city in helicopter?" Tom asked them.
"No, we can't afford that!" Aidan said.
"Don't worry, you guys won't have to pay a thing, I own one." Tom said.
"You own a helicopter?" Regan asked incredulously.
"Yeah I also own a jet and a yacht." Tom said not caring what they thought.
"No shit, do you own a train too?" Galvin asked mockingly.
"As a matter of fact I do have a couple of trains." Tom said with a straight face.
"You… have a train?" It was Kim who asked the question confuse.
"Yeah well is more like a train line." Tom said.
"Do ye even use it?" Galvin asked he couldn't believe this guy, he owned trains a helicopter a jet and a yacht, he couldn't compete with him.
"Rarely, my family and friends use it more than I do, the jet is faster. So do you guys want the helicopter tour or not?" Tom asked going back to the first subject.
"Yeah, why wouldn't I want to ride in a helicopter for free? Is not every day we get an offer like this." Regan said.
"Don't go saying later we go around taking advantage of ye." Aidan said joking.
"I was the one that made the suggestion didn't I?" Tom said.
"In that case I'm in." Aidan said.
"What about you Galvin?" Tom said.
"Of course won't miss this for the world." Galvin said.
"Haley please call Lucas and tell him to bring my car to the front."
"This is the life! I have no one to bring me my car." Aidan said.
Lucas arrived with the car, they all got in and Tom drove to the heliport.
"So this heliport belongs to you too?" Galvin asked.
"Yeah."
"If you own a train line, why don't you have your own airline.?" Galvin asked.
"I don't own an airline but I do own a jet line." Tom said.
"No kidding? I think is easier to ask what you don't own. I'm pretty sure you have your own country then." Galvin said.
"I don't have a country but I do have an island." Tom said like it was normal.
"Oh, well nice. I'm having kind of a rough time digesting all this, I mean I can barely afford an apartment and you have an island. How old are ye?" Regan asked.
"I'm 25." Tom responded.
"Only 25?" Galvin asked surprise. "You make me look like a looser you know?"
"Well I was born with privileges, I can't complain, my life hasn't been the hardest, I work hard but I didn't have to work hard to get all this things. Now if I want to keep this lifestyle I have to work. Is not easy having a company, it's pretty hard actually a lot of people depend on you, sometimes I wish my life was as easy as yours, not all this responsibilities. I don't have time to have fun like you guys." Tom said.
"Well at least you have Kim." Galvin said.
"Yeah, I'm lucky aren't I?" Tom said.
"Bastard, you have no idea!" Galvin said getting in the helicopter followed by the others. They saw the whole city in helicopter, and then Tom drove them to Kim's place.
"So did you have fun today guys?" Aisha asked when she saw them come in.
"Yeah Tom took us to see the city in his helicopter." Regan said.
"You have a helicopter?" Aisha asked not surprise at all.
"Yeah he has a helicopter, a train line, a jet line and his own private island." Galvin said.
"You have a train line? Is that even possible?" Rocky asked from the couch.
"Yeah it is." Tom said exasperated, then he looked at Kim "Hey Kim do you want to go for a walk?"
"Sure, come on." she said taking his hand.
"So I was thinking that maybe the guys could come stay at my place you know or maybe I can just let them stay in one of our apartments." Tom said.
"What are you talking about?" Kim asked confuse.
"You know, Galvin, Aidan and Regan maybe they can stay at my place." Tom said
"What for? They seem pretty comfortable in the loft." Kim said.
"I'm pretty sure Galvin is pretty comfortable." Tom said under his breath.
"What?" Kim didn't hear what he said.
"Nothing, I just think, you will all be more comfortable, too many people under the same roof. That's all."
"I don't know, I think it's a little weird that you are offering this." Kim said still confuse.
"Why?"
"Because you don't like to have people at your place, you are a very private person that likes its privacy and I don't think you will be able to stand them." Kim said.
"Well I can get use to having people over." Tom said
"Are you feeling ok? Because this is not normal coming from you." She said.
"Yeah I'm fine, I just think they should stay at my place there is more space." Tom said. "By the way, where are they sleeping? I mean I'm pretty sure they sleep in the leaving room right? Or in the boys rooms."
"Oh I see where this is going you are jealous." Kim said laughing.
"What! No I'm not; I just want them to be comfortable." Tom lie.
Come on Tom! You want them to be comfortable?" She asked incredulously. "You are jealous!" Kim said.
"Fine! I am! I see the way Galvin looks at you, and I just want to rip his eyes apart whenever I see him looking at you, it's pretty obvious that he is into you." Tom said agitated.
"Well it doesn't matter because I don't like him." Kim said.
"Wait! You knew?" Tom asked.
"Of course I know, he tells me all the time." Kim said like it was normal.
"He tells you all the time!" Tom said exasperated. "I don't want him at your place, so tell him to get out!" Tom said.
"Tom you are exaggerating so calm down." Kim said calmly.
"I'm not exaggerating! I want him out of your place!" Tom practically ordered.
"Well that's not up to you, since is not your place." Kim said starting to get furious.
"Let me get this straight, you are not going to kick him out?" Tom said completely mad.
"No!" Kim said.
"Well then I will." he said furiously walking toward the building.
"No, you will not!" She said pulling his arm. "Tom stop! Can you please stop?" Kim implored.
"I want him out off there Kim, I don't want him near you and you are not going on that trip." He said.
"I have news for you, I'm going on that trip and Galvin is staying, I'm going back to the loft and you can go back to your place, give me a call when you calm down, otherwise don't call me!" Kim said walking away.
"Kim!" Tom screamed.
"Go home, I'm serious I don't want to talk to you right now." Kim said not looking back.
Tom looked as she walk away, he took his cell phone and called Jason. "Jase I need to talk to you urgently can we meet at my place?" he got in his car and drove to his place.
Tom opened the door "Hey Jase come in."
"So I have a feeling that you screw up big time." Jason said.
"No I didn't screw up, I'm mad! Kim practically stood up to me." Tom said
"And you are surprise about that?" Jason asked confuse. "She has been standing up too you since she met you, that's not new."
"Well this time I'm right!" Tom said.
"Right about what?" Jason asked.
"You Know Galvin right?" Tom asked.
"Yeah, what about him?" Jason asked already knowing where this was going.
"He likes Kim and I told her that I wanted him out of her place and that she wasn't going on that trip with him." Tom replied.
"And she got mad, didn't she?" Jason asked.
"She told me he wasn't going nowhere and that she was going on that trip!" Tom said agitated.
"They are only friends Tom and she is not going by herself with him, she is going with a bunch of people and you, and there is more people on the loft so you don't have to worry about something happening." Jason said trying to make him see sense.
"Well I don't want him near her!"
"Tom let me give you a piece of advice, Kim is a nice girl, how many girls like her do you know? If you don't want to lose her I advise you to back down and trust her because right now all she knows is you don't trust her and Kim isn't the kind of girl that likes people telling her what to do, she is old enough to make her decisions." Jason said seriously.
"I trust her, is him I don't trust." Tom said.
"Tom, Galvin knows Kim since they were little and he hasn't made a move on her or anything from what I know, knowing Kim she wouldn't let him stay there if he did." Jason said trying to reassure him. "You need to apologize to her."
"Why?!" Tom exclaimed.
"Because Tom you offended her by implying she was going to be unfaithful to you. She must be furious!" Jason said.
"But that's not fair!" Tom said.
"What are you a little kid? You need to trust your girlfriend otherwise you are going to lose her." Jason said. "Just sleep on it, calm down and talk to her, don't call her right now or you'll make another mistake. I have to go, so talk to you tomorrow and think before you talk please." Jason advised.
"Whatever, hope you are right. Thanks for coming by the way." Tom said.
Kim went straight to her room and slam the door. The others were in the living room and all look at each other surprise they were not use to see Kim like this. Trini and Aisha went to knock on her door.
"What?!" Kim asked agitated.
"Kim is me and Trini, can we come in?" Aisha asked.
"Yeah but only the 2 of you." Kim said.
"Oh it seems lover boy is in trouble." Rocky said laughing.
"Rocky shut up!" Aisha said. She opened Kims door and went in with Trini. Kim was lying in her bed.
"Hey girl, do you want to talk about whatever is bothering you? We are not use to see you like this." Trini and Aisha sat in Kim bed.
"I'm piss, Tom is an idiot!" Kim said.
"But you already knew that, what happened?" Aisha asked.
"He notice Galvin had a thing for me and practically ordered me to kick him out and he forbid me to go on the trip, I mean can you believe that? What am I? 5 years old? This is why I didn't wanted to be in a relationship in the first place!" Kim said.
"Oh Kim, you know how he is, he will see sense and everything will be better." Trini said trying to calm Kim down.
"He doesn't trust me! Can you believe that? Me!" Kim said.
"Come on Kim, he trusts you, maybe he doesn't trust Galvin around you." Trini said.
"I told him we are only friends and that I have no interest in him! Galvin would never dare to make a move on me he only hits on me but he is incapable of trying to make a move on me."
"You know him Kim, he can be over protective and jealous, maybe he's unsure of himself right now and feels insecure, I'm pretty sure he has never felt like this before and he feels threatened by Galvin, so he overreacted, I'm pretty sure he's worried right now and sorry." Trini tried to reassure her.
"I'm pretty sure he is not sorry. He is pretty stubborn." Kim said mad.
"Well maybe not right now but eventually he'll be sorry." Aisha said hoping she was right. "Tom is crazy about you, don't worry he'll come around."
"Is not about that! I don't care if he loves me madly or whatever. He can't just tell me what to do like I belong to him, I'm not a possession I'm a human being that can think for itself! I won't let him control me like I'm a puppet!" Kim expressed.
"This are things you guys have to talk about you know? After all you are not single anymore, you have to compromise sometimes Kim." Trini said.
"Ugh I really don't know, maybe I'm better by myself." Kim said.
"Kim don't say that, I know you love Tom, you are just mad right now, wait till you calm down, you'll see things differently when you both calm down." Aisha said.
"I'm just being honest." Kim said.
"Wait until you talk to him again ok? We are going out with the guys to eat are you coming with us?" Aisha asked.
"No I'm going to stay here, don't feel like going out right now, I'm not going to be good company and I need to be by myself right now." Kim said lying in her bed.
"If you need anything call us ok?" Trini said.
"Ok" Kim said. "Have fun."
Kim woke up the next day, she felt better but was still mad at Tom. She decided to eat breakfast and workout later, she was preparing her breakfast when Galvin appear in the kitchen.
Morning Kim." Galvin said.
"Good morning Galvin." Kim said.
"So I hoped I didn't cause trouble yesterday. Ye seem pretty mad." Galvin said.
"Don't worry about it, it's not your fault. My boyfriend is insane that's all." Kim said.
"If ye were my girl I would probably go insane too ye know?" Galvin said.
"Excuse me?" Kim said offended.
"Oh no I didn't mean it like that, I meant to say ye know, you are hot, smart and one kind of a girl so I would be scare of any man that approach ye, besides is understandable he is jealous of me I'm gorgeous aren't I? and I have an accent, who can compete with that huh?" he said winking at Kim.
Kim laughed "You know Galvin? You are going to make a girl very happy some day but that girl is not going to be me."
He puts his hand in his heart and pretended he was hurt "It really hurts ye know?I will have to live with an option then, that's really sad and not fair."
"You deserve someone that returns your feelings and that's not the case with me" Kim said.
"One day ye are going to wake up and realize what a big mistake you've made Kim ye will say "why oh why didn't I listen to Galvin, that hot piece of a man with that sculpted body that can melt icebergs and fly." Galvin said.
"I will have to live with the regret for the rest of my life then." Kim said.
"Ye really know how to hurt me." Galvin said.
"Morning people." Rocky said entering the kitchen.
"Morning Rocky" both said in unison.
"Kim, Tom is downstairs, I was jogging and found him standing down there, do you want me to tell him to go kill himself?" Rocky said.
"No is not necessary Rocky, I'll go talk to him." Kim said.
"Are you sure? I don't really mind." Rocky insisted.
"Rocky thanks for the offer but is not necessary, I'm going to change and you stay here ok?" Kim said.
"Fine!" He said like a little kid.
Kim changed her clothes and went down to meet Tom.
"Hey aren't you supposed to be at work?" Kim asked kind of mad.
"Is that the way you are going to greet me? No hi Tom how are you?" Tom said.
"No, I'm mad at you remember?" Kim stated.
"Listen Kim I want everything to be better again, so can you just let your guard down please?"
"Fine, but let's go to a place where there are no paparazzi present ok?" Kim said looking at the men with the cameras that were following Tom.
"My car is right here, come on." He said making a signal not daring to touch her.
Kim follow him to the car and got in. He started the car and decided that they could have privacy in his office so he drove there.
"Mr Oliver what are you doing here? I thought you said you weren't coming today." Haley said surprise.
"I'm not coming to work Haley, I'll be in my office don't let anyone interrupt me ok?" Tom said serious.
"Sure." Haley said not daring to say much, neither him nor Kim look happy.
Kim took a seat in one of the chairs that were in front of his desk where he sat.
"So?" Kim asked.
"I talk to Jase last night and he helped me view things differently." Tom said.
"Go on." Kim said.
"I'm sorry if it seems like I don't trust you, it wasn't my intention to make you believe you are capable of been unfaithful to me, I accept I can be over protective and I get defensive when I feel I'm being attack. But the thing is I don't know Galvin and I don't know what he is capable of, so I don't really trust him." Tom said.
"I understand that but you don't have the right to order me around." Kim said
"Well I'm your boyfriend I think I should have a say in the matter."Tom said.
"You can consult things with me but you can't tell me what to do!" Kim said.
"Listen Kim I don't want to fight with you and I definitely don't want to lose you because that would destroy me." Tom said.
"Tom I don't want to fight with you either but I'm really mad about all of this, first of all Galvin is my friend and he knows that, he will never do something to hurt me and I really love him as a friend and that's all there is. I'm with you and I love you and respect you I would never do something to hurt you and I can understand where you come from being jealous and all but you can't just go ballistic every time something you don't like happens. I'm ready to listen always if something bothers you, just tell me and I'll make a decision with you about it but don't tell me what to do because that makes me mad." Kim said.
"I'm really sorry about the way I reacted; I'll try to never do that again, I won't promise because you know me." Tom said
"That's more than I can ask for, so are you coming with us on the trip?" Kim asked.
"Yeah I'm coming." Tom said. "Can I hug you now?" he asked.
Kim sat in the chair thinking about it and after a while said "yes" she stood up and hug him hard.
"I was so scared I thought I might lose you because of my attitude." He said still hugging her.
"Well you almost did." Kim said.
"Yeah well I'm not going to let you go that easily, never been the kind that gives up." Tom said.
"Says the guy that has everything." Kim said joking.
Tom chuckled "hey that's not fair." he said and kiss her.
Kim got up "Come on I'll help you pack, so you don't bring the wrong stuff on the trip, like you did in Wicklow. he stood up and follow her to his car.
