Chapter 34:
An hour or two later, nearly everyone had already left. The only remaining people
were the happy couples, and me, Jessica, Luis, Beth, Miguel, Ricky and Gary.
Ricky had fallen asleep in my arms about an hour ago. It was now 2:41 am.
"I am so tired!" Jessica exclaimed, yawning.
"Same here," said Luis and Beth simultaneously.
"But never too tired to kiss my beautiful wife," Luis added.
"Hmm," Beth responded happily, as she inched in for the kiss.
Jessica, Miguel and I looked at the two of them. They were so cute together.
"Are you tired, Kay?" Miguel asked me. He seemed to have an agenda.
"Not really, why?" I asked back.
"Because -" Miguel began but stopped when he noticed Jessica, Beth and Luis staring
at him and me.
"Excuse us," Miguel said to his "viewers." Taking my hand, he led me towards a place
where we could talk privately.
Miguel wasted no time getting to the point. "Kay, it's just that you were going to tell
me something earlier tonight and you didn't get around to it. How about letting me know it
now?" He looked pretty impatient. I couldn't blame him. He had been waiting five years to
know why I had really left Harmony half a decade ago.
I thought about it for a minute. I wasn't tired, but what about Ricky? I didn't want to
take him with us and leave him in the car or something like that. Maybe I could have someone
watch him till I got home....
"Only if we can get Beth or Jessica to watch Ricky," I responded. "And if we go to the
beach. I love that place this time of night." {author's note: i love the beach in the middle of the
night. some of the things i love i included in this fic, such as the bmw a few chapters back}
"Agreed," Miguel replied.
"Jess," I said turning to her. "Do you think you can take Ricky home with you?
Miguel and I will be home later."
"Sure, Kay," she answered. Lowering her voice, she added, "MIGUEL and you are
coming home?"
"Hopefully," I answered, grinning.
She nodded, giving me a knowing smile.
"Can you take Ricky and me home, Luis?" Jessica asked him.
"Sure," came Luis' reply.
A half hour later, the newlyweds took off, getting ready for their honeymoons. Daddy
and Ivy were headed to Hawaii; Noah and Gwen off to Jamaica and Uncle Hank and Liz were
going to the Bahamas.
"Let's go," Miguel said taking my hand.
We walked back to the car, saying bye to Beth, Luis, Jessica.
Once Miguel started the engine, I gave a big sigh of relief.
"What's up?" he asked.
"These weddings were so fantastic! I'm so glad it all went well."
Miguel nodded, looking impatient. "Kay, when are you going to tell me whatever it is
you have to tell me?
I turned my attention to him, surprised. "Umm, once we get to the beach," I replied,
trying to sound definite. I myself didn't know if I was ready to tell him. I mean, sure it HAD
been five years the wait but this was big news. It could cause regrets. On Miguel's part.
Hopefully, he would regret marrying Charity. But what if he didn't believe me? What if he
went back to Charity? Oh God.....
"Is everything alright, Kay?" Miguel asked, concerned. He probably noticed the trace
of worry in my voice.
"What?" I asked as I was looking out the window. I turned to face him. "Ya, fine."
Miguel frowned but didn't say anything for awhile.
We finally reached the beach. I took off my dancing shoes and let the sand creep
through my toes. I loved that feeling.
Luckily, Miguel had some of Charity's old clothes in the car. I picked out a T-shirt and
shorts and told him I'd be right back. I went to a dark corner to change.
Meanwhile, Miguel waited around until I finished. He tried to play it like he wasn't
looking at me as I changed, but I knew where his eyes were at the moment. It was the same
place where his heart was. Directed at me.
This was what was going on through Miguel's mind as I was changing: God, she's still
as beautiful as before. She hasn't changed. She's still has the same inner and outer beauty
that she possessed five years ago. The beauty I fell in love with. The beauty I'm still in love
with.
Miguel shook his head, breaking out of the reverie. He looked away. I can't think of
Kay like that, he thought to himself. I'm married to someone else. What I'm doing is wrong!
Then why does it feel so right?.........
{A/N: oh and after much thought to having a charity/kay confrontation or not i decided
to NOT. sorry 2 the ppl who wanted to c kay whupp charity's ass. as much as i wanted that
