A/N Soooo sorry it took so long. This was a little rushed. Things could probably have been better put, but I just wanted to get the story rolling.
Kimberly hummed to herself while getting dressed in the bathroom. She looked at herself in the mirror and chewed her bottom lip. Could she really do this tonight? She was still on a high from making love, but the thought of spending an evening in the same room as Kat was really beginning to bring her down.
"Poor Billy" she murmured. Shaking her head she added some light makeup and brushed her hair. Looking herself in the eye once more she sighed again. This was going to be a tough night. She desperately needed to speak with Billy and Rocky before she blew up. She would have to wait until after dinner.
Kimberly jumped at the sound of something knocking on the door.
"Everything ok in there Beautiful?" Tommy asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine, I'll be out in a sec" she said through the door.
Taking one more deep breath, she opened the door and ran right into Tommy's chest. "Hi" he smiled down at her.
"Hi yourself." She said wrapping her arms around him. "You know, we could skip dinner with everyone and order in. I could make it worth your while" she smiled seductively.
"Nuh uh Princess, we're going out. We need to spend time with everyone before they leave." He laughed
"Well I need to spend time with YOU, before you leave too ya know." She pouted.
"Who said I'm leaving" he threw back at her before he slipped into the bathroom leaving Kimberly to ponder on his words.
Kimberly smiled to herself. They would need to discuss that later.
7 PM
Kimberly and Tommy walked into the nice Italian restaurant holding hands. "M'Lady" Tommy said pulling her chair out for her. He then sat to her left.
"Are you saving this for anyone in particular?" Rocky grinned gesturing to the chair on her right.
"Actually yes, but I suppose you can sit there" she mocked.
"Ha ha, funny" He reached over to hug her. "We need to get caught up, how about lunch tomorrow, just me and you? That is if your boyfriend won't knock my head off."
"Do you mind Tommy?" Kimberly asked. Tommy looked into her eyes and knew she needed someone who was impartial to talk about the situation.
"Of course not Beautiful. Rocky just better keep his hands to himself." He said eyeing Rocky. He knew better than to be jealous of Rocky, Kimberly was his forever. Still, it doesn't matter that you are not supposed to jealous, you always are. He wasn't worried tho. It would actually give him time to set up his "plan".
"Are you sure? I don't want you to be stuck not having anything to do." Kimberly said.
"Bro, come out with me for the afternoon" Jason said. "We need to catch up too. Billy, Adam, Zack? How 'bout it? Guys afternoon out?"
"Awww hey!!! How come I miss the guys afternoon out?" Rocky whined.
"Because you want to secretly court Tommy's girlfriend. Dude that's a big no no, so now you can't be in the group" Zack laughed.
"Hey now, quit trying to get me in trouble!" Rocky said "I have a girlfriend myself ya know!" He leaned over to kiss Aisha for emphasis.
"You better keep an eye on him Aisha" Kat teased.
Kimberly couldn't believe her ears. "Kat totally did not just make that comment" she thought to herself. Before she had time to think about it, she heard herself say "What exactly are you implying there Katherine?"
Kimberly felt Tommy poke her under the table and she snapped back to her senses.
"I-I-I was just kidding Kimberly." Kat stuttered.
Kimberly plastered on a fake smile and replied, "Of course, I'm just a little jumpy tonight." Inside Kimberly was fuming. How dare Kat make her sound as if she's some slut.
"I'm sorry Kim, I didn't mean to imply that you would steal Aisha's boyfriend." Kat smiled.
"Oh no, that would be your department wouldn't it?" Kimberly mumbled under her breath. Tommy elbowed her in the side. He couldn't believe his ears. Rocky, sitting beside her heard every word, and spit out his sip of water.
"Sorry? I didn't hear what you said Kim" Kat replied.
"Oh she just said she wanted something in the pasta department. Sure sweetie you order anything you want." Tommy said quickly.
Kimberly looked up to see Billy's eyes on her. She couldn't tell if he heard what she said. She silently cursed herself for speaking before thinking, but honestly, she couldn't help it.
"Really Tommy, you wouldn't lie to me would you?" Kat said sweetly.
"No but you would to him, you fucking bitch" Kimberly mumbled again. Tommy dropped his head in defeat. He knew Kat heard it that time.
"What the hell are you talking about Kimberly?" Kat demanded
Kimberly raised to her feet "You know EXACTLY what I'm talking about you bitch! Did you honestly think I would never find out?" Kimberly's voice raised with each syllable that came out of her mouth.
"Ok Kimmie, time out, you need a break" Rocky said grabbing her around the waist pulling her out of the dining room.
"No! I need to tell her exactly what a stupid bitch she is!" Kimberly screamed.
Rocky, still dragging her behind him quietly whispered "Now is not the time Kimmie, you need to vent before you go after her. Your friendship with Kat may be over, but that's not the only friendship at stake here."
"Billy…" Kimberly whispered.
"Yeah… Billy." Rocky said.
"Ok ok, I'll come quietly. Can you at least go grab my purse? We'll order in at my house."
"Sure." Rocky said returning to the table. She waited at the car and seen Tommy following Rocky out.
"That went well" Tommy said sarcastically, while running his hand through his hair. "Couldn't you have waited a few days like I asked???"
"She kept saying shit!! What was a supposed to do sit there and let her turn mine and Rocky's beautiful friendship into something nasty? Not to MENTION the other shit she said. I couldn't take it, I honestly tried to keep my mouth shut" she said.
"Ok here's the plan. We'll go back to your house Kimmie, we'll order in, then you can tell me what happened. I'll find a way to fix this I promise" Rocky said giving her a hug.
"I seriously doubt that" Tommy said. "I'll tell the others we're leaving and we'll catch up with them tomorrow."
"Don't you dare feel sorry for Kat, Thomas!" Kimberly growled.
"Believe me Beautiful, I don't, I just don't want to hurt Billy." Tommy said sprinting towards the door. He turned to see Rocky helping a very pissed off Kimberly into the car.
Making his way to the table he felt everyone stare holes into him. "I uh, think we're gonna take Kimberly home. Aisha, Rocky said he'd call you in a little while, sorry for the scene guys." Tommy started to walk out when he heard Kat whisper something.
"Yeah she should be sorry." Kat had said.
"Exscuse me Katherine, did I hear you say something?" Tommy asked.
Kat's eyes flew to the ground. She knew Kim and Tommy both knew, but couldn't help being so hateful. "No Tommy I didn't say anything."
"I didn't think so," Tommy said through clinched teeth. Throwing one last apologetic glance to everyone he hurried out to the car where Kimberly and Rocky were waiting for him.
"Home James" Kimberly teased Rocky.
Rocky laughed on the outside. But on the inside he hoped against hope that this wouldn't tear all his friends apart.
15 minutes later
"We're here" Rocky said walking around to let Kim out of the car.
"That's my job ya know" Tommy laughed.
"What? Oh sorry, just so used to doing it for Aisha." Rocky said. "Tommy, I really hope that you understand that I have no romantic feelings for Kim. Me and her just got really close this past year. We helped each other through a lot."
"I understand completely. I used to think of Kat the same way after we broke up. Eventho we decided to go our separate ways, until now, me and Kat were tight. She helped me a great deal, or at least I thought she did" Tommy said with a confused look. "I'm beginning to think everything about us was a lie"
"Well I'm glad you understand Tommy. Trust me, Aisha would totally kick my ass if I tried to steal Rocky. She scares me, so I wouldn't dare try" Kimberly laughed.
Rocky snickered, "Yeah well that's nothing compared to what Tommy would do to me if I tried to make a move on you."
"Pizza or Chinese?" Kimberly asked picking up the phone.
"Chinese" Rocky and Tommy said at the same time.
Kimberly ordered the food while the boys got some plates out.
"So, are we ready to talk about tonight?" Rocky asked.
Kimberly and Tommy looked at each other and sighed. Rocky didn't like the looks he was getting. He again hoped it wasn't anything that couldn't be repaired in time.
