CHAP 11
---------------------------------------
Miguel Lopez-Fitzgerald smiled as he took aim. Kay rolled away leaving him empty handed once more.
"You'll not get me that easy!" Kay cried. Miguel laughed. He had not had this much fun in weeks. It was Friday and as promised he and Kay had gone to play laser tag. He was having a great time. Charity never wanted to do fun stuff like this and Miguel missed it. He was thinking that he would like to do this again next week when all of a sudden his vest sounded.
"Aw man!" Miguel groaned.
"Gotcha again." Kay cheered. "Miguel you used to be better then this. What's your problem?"
"Too much time away from you." Miguel answered. Kay blushed and looked away.
"yeah whatever Miguel."
"No I mean it. You always keep me on my toes. Away from you I lose my edge."
Kay took a deep breath as she thought of the mantra that had been running through her head all night.
"He loves Charity, He loves Charity" She kept
thinking "Why does he have to be so cute."
"Kay you want to grab some pizza at the snack bar?"
"Sure Miguel."
Kay was having a great time. It was good to have the old Miguel back. Maybe they could be friends again. Oh course Kay still wasn't completely over Miguel. There were several times during the night that she had to resist the urge to kiss him. But so far she had remained strong. She had just taken a sip of her soda when Miguel said something that made her cough.
"We should do this more often. Like next week or every week. Hey how about we have one day a week that is a Kay and Miguel day? We can pick different things and hang out just the two of us."
"*cough*… gasp." Kay choked
"Kay are you okay?" Miguel asked getting up to pat her on the back.
"I'm fine" Kay said enjoying the feel of Miguel so close to her. "I just swallowed my soda wrong."
"Okay" Miguel said as he sat back down. "So what do you think of Kay and Miguel day once a week?"
"What about Charity?"
"She'll understand. It's not like we're connected at the hip."
Kay gave Miguel a piercing look.
Miguel looked away with an embarrassed smile. "Okay so maybe we are a little. But I am trying to be better. Will you help me?"
"On one condition."
"What?"
"That you also take time to spend with Reese and your family each week. I bet they miss you too."
"Have I really been that bad?" Miguel asked.
"Worst."
"All right. Deal! Miguel said extending his hand.
"Deal." Kay said as she took his hand and smiled.
