It didn't take long before they reached the parking garage, nor did it take much time to find Kyoko's car. "Nice wheels she's got." Kiley looked over the car; it was the new Z3 convertible, it was a dark blue color with tan leather interior.
"Hmmm, yeah my uncle owns a pretty nice business, he bought it for her a few weeks ago she said." Momo smiled thinking about her conversations with Kyoko.
"No wonder Kai likes living with her…" Kiley joked, dodging the elbow from Momo that was aimed at his stomach… The bad part was his coffee spilled all over her.
"Ahhh!" She yelled as the hot liquid poured all over her sweater and onto her face and arms.
"Oh my God, are you alright?! He tried franticly to whip off the coffee.
"Oww… Yes, I'm alright. It's just kind of hot." Momo whined.
"Let me drive, we can stop by my place, it's around the corner; you can clean yourself off there. I think I have a shirt that will fit you too," He looked at Momo who just turned slightly red.
"Alright." She handed him the keys and hoped into the driver's side on the right, trying not to get anything on the seats. "You sure that's alright?" She looked into Kiley's amber brown eyes in question.
"Yeah it's not a problem, I'm fine with letting you go to my apartment, it's not like it's a big thing anyways." Kiley started the roaring engine and pulled out of the dark dismal garage and drove the three blocks to his place.
------------------
The phone rang at Momo's house as her mother was about to go outside for a walk. "Hello?"
"Momo?" It was Toji. He sounded tired, like he had been running all day or something.
"No this is her mother—"
"It's Toji, do you know where she is? I have to talk to her." Toji cut in as if he was in a rush.
"She went to the hospital to get some blood work done, but who knows if she's still there the appointment was at ten. She staid at Kyoko's for the night, you have the best chances of finding her at those two places Toji." Momo's mother hissed, not extremely happy with Toji at the moment.
"Thank you!" Toji said quickly hanging up the phone. "I have to find her and explain things." He quickly grabbed a hair towel and finished drying his hair.
"Explain what things to who Toji?" Sae came out in a bath towel.
"That you were a mistake." Toji growled hate marked in his eyes. "I should have never even given you a ride to your house when you got to the airport!"
"You hate me that much Toji?" Sae frowned walking over to him and leaning up against him running her right index finger over his bare chest in little circles.
"I don't love you that way Sae." Toji glared down at Sae with hateful eyes.
"And yet, you still slept with me?!" Sae screamed slapping Toji across the face.
"I don't know what I was thinking then; I made a mistake, a big one. I love Momo, the least I can do is try to tell her that!" Toji pushed Sae away slightly grabbing dark green sweater and throwing it on. "The only reason I'm letting you stay here is because you still don't have a place to stay at. Remember that Sae." With that he left with the slam of the apartment door.
--------------------
Kiley parked the car along the street and handed Momo the keys to throw in her purse. "It's a miracle I found a parking spot here."
"Yeah." Momo smiled; frowning when she felt how sticky the coffee was when she stood up. "Ehh… Grouse!" She mumbled.
"You can take a shower also, if you want." Kiley blushed slightly. "You don't have to though if you feel too uncomfortable."
Momo noticed the blush on his cheeks and smiled. "Thank you. Its just that I feel all sticky and I don't think you want me to just put on your clean cloths and have them be all gorse."
"The cleaning lady came by earlier today anyway so everything is neat and clean." Kiley guided her threw the doors and to the elevator and pushed it to the floor when he lived.
"Can I call Kyoko when we get up there? I don't want her thinking I ran off with her new car."
"Sure." Kiley laughed trying to avoid the strange look from the man in the elevator.
-----------
"Hello?" Kyoko picked up the phone not to soon after speaking to Momo, finding out she was at Kiley's.
"Kyoko?" Toji spoke into his cell phone.
"Toji?!" Kyoko screamed in anger. "How dare you call me!"
"I know, I know. I have to explain to Momo what happened, please tell me where she is. I just came from the hospital. She's not there." Toji was frantic.
"Uh, she's at Kiley's apartment. She spilled coffee on her and was getting changed. I didn't tell you where she was though if she asks, alright:?" Kyoko sighed into the phone.
Toji's eyes went dark. "Yeah." He turned his phone off throwing it with all his might into the floor of his car. "Damn you Kiley!" He shouted hitting his fist into the steering wheel and turning the radio of blaring it as loudly as he could.
---------------
Momo took off her coat willingly as Kiley took it from her and threw it in the washer as she looked at her coffee covered cloths in the bathroom mirror. "You can do whatever, your cloths are over there on the counter," Kiley pointed behind Momo to a small pile of clothing. "If there's a problem let me know, I'm going to watch some TV, so just yell if you need anything." Kiley finished leaving the bathroom quickly.
"Okay." Momo said simply. She waited as Kiley closed the door and then turned on the shower and got undressed.
Kiley took Momo's shirt and threw it into the washer. "Ahh… Crap." He looked down at the large wet spot of his shirt. "Darn it…" He threw it in quickly and then sat down on the couch turning slightly to the blurred glass wall seeing the shadowed figure of Momo as she got undressed. "Gahh!" Kiley turned around quickly facing the TV and turned on the weather. 'Must not look, must not…' He used all the will power he could not to look in the least, and concentrated on the weather.
"Tonight there is high chances of rain and a seventy-five present chance of a severer thunder storm, if I were you, I would spend the night indoors with a good book, or rent a movie." A woman spoke happily trying her hardest not to look off the teleprompter as she spoke into the camera.
---------------
'It's only been about a week since I left Toji, yet I don't feel like I've missed him. I feel… I feel happy with Kiley and my family.' Momo stared down at the tile floor in the shower as the hot water ran over her tanned body. 'I thought I was happy with Toji, I wanted to marry him, I thought that was my dream; to marry Toji and have a family with him, grow old, and watch are kids grow up… But now, I, I just don't know anymore!' Tears welt up in Momo's amber eyes as she slid down the wall in the shower and began to cry.
Momo staid there for a few minutes crying freely not caring if Kiley heard her or not. She quickly shut off the water still crying standing up and running out of the shower forgetting about the tile floor ahead.
----------------
'She's crying?' Kiley put the TV on mute and listened again. Her echoed cries were barely made out until she turned off the water.
"Ahh!" Kiley heard her scream and then a loud thud as she slipped on the floor going down and hitting her head.
"Momo?!" Kiley jumped up and ran to the door knocking on it. "Momo, are you alright? I heard you scream." There was no response he opened the door to find her out cold on the ground. "Momo!" Kiley ran over to her falling to his knees as he grabbed her towel and wrapped her over her body. "Momo, can you hear me?!" Kiley placed her head in his lap whipping the trail of blood flowing from her mouth onto the towel. "Momo, come on wake up, look at me!" Kiley shook her tapping her face with his hand.
"Kiley?" She moaned opening her eyes slightly.
"Ha!" Kiley smiled hugging her. "God, don't scare me like that!" He mumbled holding her tightly.
"Hmm…" She smiled feebly starting to close her eyes again. "That's nice… Kiley."
"Momo, no! Keep your eyes open!" Kiley shook her again slightly. "You might have a concussion, you have to stay awake! Momo, look at me!" Kiley was becoming frantic. He gently picked her up and cared her onto the couch managing to tip over a vase of flowers he had gotten from his aunt at Thanksgiving about three weeks ago.
"Kiley… I… Feel fine… Let me go… Back to… To sleep." She smiled brushing her hand against his cheek.
"Erraa!" Kiley shouted. "Damn it Momo, you leave me no choice!" Kiley sat her up and kissed her full on the lips. Momo's eyes shot open abruptly not knowing how to react.
"Kiley?" Momo spoke after pushing him away. 'My head feels like it's going to explode, but I want… Do I really want to kiss Kiley back?'
"You're awake now, aren't you?" Kiley smiled slightly. "I'm going to call an ebullience to come. Just sit here and don't fall asleep or move to muc—" Momo pushed herself onto Kiley, making him fall back on the couch. She kissed him back full, but Kiley returned with no hesitation.
"Momo… You're hurt… I have to call th—"
"Shh… I'm fine, I just bumped my head pretty hard." She smiled kissing him gently again. Kiley let his hand run through his thick blonde hair before his body took over his mind and the screaming of his mind saying, no Kiley don't do it, were in vain. He turned over as he kissed down her neck letting his hands wander over her body pulling the towel away slowly.
"I… I love you." Kiley's mind fell silent and his heart froze as she two tears fell from her eyes. "Oh God, I'm sorry. Please, I…" He didn't know what else to say.
"I'm not crying because you hurt me. I, it's just I think I love you Toji… But,
I—" Momo cut herself off kissing him again. "I love you… I love you more." She smiled as Kiley's eyes became warm again and he leaned forward and kissed her tears away.
"Momo, we shouldn't do this, not now. You and Toji just broke up. I just kind of feel like I'm taking advantage of you. That's all." Kiley sat up looking away as he handed her the towel. "I think you need this." He was taken aback when all she did was grab the towel and throw it across the room. "Momo…" He was becoming irritated. His voice more stern. He stood up and ran over to the towel picked it up and threw it in her direction. "I'm sorry, but I won't do what you want to right now. You aren't… You're still upset with Toji, I won't do it Momo. Trust me, I love you. More then anyone, I do. But, I can't. Try and understand me!" Kiley closed his eyes with his fists clenched.
Momo's eyes fell cold, as her heart tore in half. She picked up the towel and wrapped it around her lower waist before standing and walking over to Kiley. "Damn you Kiley. Damn you for breaking my heart, and damn you for ever even glancing at me the day we met!" She kissed him again falling into his arms. Kiley's eyes opened slightly as he wrapped his arms around her holding her close.
"You bastard." Toji's eyes were daggers.
"Toji?!" Momo and Kiley both spoke pulling away from one another and looking over at a very angry Toji.
