Chapter 1

Miguel put the last of the suitcases in the back of Kay's SUV and shut the door. Simone opened up the passenger's side front door and climbed inside. Charity and Reese got into different sides of the back and Miguel followed after Charity, who scooted over to the middle of the back.

Kay turned on the radio and looked over at Simone, "I made a CD last night to take on the trip, it's song that I think will make Miguel fall in love with me." Simone rolled her eyes and turned her head the other way.

It's about time
It's about time that you start looking my way
And I even gave you my last dime
Even told you what to say
It's about time
It's about time that you start looking my way
And I even gave you my last dime
Even told you what to say
Oh, I never had the nerve to approach you, baby
Cuz I didn't think that you would ever look at me that way
I known you for so long I seen all your lovers come and go
I know exactly how to please you
But I'm afraid that you'll say no

Kay looked in the rear view mirror to see if the song was effecting Miguel.

You told me about the nights
That you spent with her down by the lake
I wanted to tell you to stop
How much could my poor heart take
I started burning up inside
How I long so for you
Just to feel your sweet caresses
Is all I ever want to do

Kay notice Miguel's eyes meet hers in the mirror and she quckly turned her head away.

I don't know why
I couldn't tell you that I care for you
And now I cry tears of joy
As I let you know that it's about time
That it's about time

She smiled as she listened to the lyrics and imagined her and Miguel together, "Simone, I'm going to seduce Miguel over the hiking trip, you can bet on that."

"I'm sure you will, Kay. Just like you did when you got trapped in the mineshaft?" Simone replied.

"Shut up, Simone. Miguel will be mine before the trip is over."
