Chapter 38:
By the time we got home, it was late in the afternoon and we were all tired. I put Ricky
down for his nap while Miguel said he was going to go over to Pilar's house for a while. So I
was left alone in my house. Jessica was out as well, she had left a note saying she went to the
mall. I went to sit down on the couch and relax for a bit, but the ringing of the telephone
interrupted me.
"Hello?" I asked.
"Hi, can I speak to Kay please?" a familiar voice asked.
"Tony?" I asked happily.
"Yup, that's me. How are you, girl?"
"I'm fine; how come you can't even recognize my voice anymore?" I asked him,
laughing.
"Well, it's been a while since we talked last, Kay," he said matter-of-factly.
"I know, Tony and I'm so sorry," I said sadly, really meaning it. After my return to
Harmony, Tony and I had spoken only a handful of times.
"So what's up with you?" he asked. "Did you finally tell Miguel the truth?"
"Actually," I said, grinning. "He found out last night."
"I see," he said enthusiastically. "Let me know when the wedding day is," he joked.
I laughed, but deep down I was hoping Miguel WOULD be mine again.
"We'll just have to see about that," I told him.
"Uh-huh," he said. "How's Ricky?"
"He's good, he misses you. He's asleep right now."
"Ohh," Tony said, disappointed. I could tell he really wanted to talk to the boy that he
had practically helped me raise for four years. "Tell him I miss him, too."
"I will," I said. "So what have you been up to? How's your job going? Are you still
single? What's new?"
Tony gave a laugh. "As eligible as ever. My job's going good, just got promoted. I
moved again and have been living by myself lately."
"Oh," I said. I could tell Tony really was very lonely. I made a mental note to visit him
the first chance I got.
"I miss you, Kay," he said gently.
At that moment, even though I didn't notice, Miguel and Jessica both arrived to the
house. They opened the door and got inside just as I told Tony how much I missed him:
"I miss you, too, Tony, so much," I said. "You were the greatest friend I could ask for,
and I wish you were here with me. We seemed to help each other out with our problems and I
wish we could be there for each other now."
"Same here, Kay," he said slowly.
I turned around to see Miguel and Jessica staring at me. Jessica put her shopping
bags down and left the room. I could tell it was her way of giving me and Miguel some time to
talk.
"I have to go now, Tony," I said. "We'll talk later, ok?"
"Ok, bye Kay," he said.
"Bye," I replied, hanging up.
I looked at Miguel's face. He looked a bit jealous.
"Is that that boyfriend of yours, again?" Miguel asked me. He crossed his hands,
waiting for a response from me. Boy did he look envious.
"No," I said firmly. "That was Tony. My FRIEND."
Miguel didn't say anything but he still looked discontented.
I went by him and gave him a hug. His tense body eased up a bit at my touch.
"You know Ricky had a lot of fun today," I said, putting my arms around his neck. "He
can't wait to do it again."
Boy was I hinting. It was more like I couldn't wait to do it again! I really wanted to
know what Miguel was going to do now. Was he going to go back to Charity? Or was he going
to finally start the overdue life he always was meant to have with Ricky and me?
"Kay, I -" Miguel began to say but was interrupted by the telephone ringing.
I picked it up in regret. Dammitt why was I being interrupted so much!! Everytime
Miguel had to tell me something important there was an interference of sorts.
"Hello?" I said into the phone a bit icily.
"Kay!" Noah's voice rang in my ear. "It's me. How are you? How's Ricky and
Jessica?"
"We're great, Noah," I said, happy to hear from him. "How are things going with you
and Gwen?"
"Oh, GREAT!" Noah exclaimed, laughing.
I laughed back. I knew just what he meant. "Have you talked to Daddy and Uncle
Hank?" I asked.
"Ya, they are having a great time, too."
"That's good," I said.
"Listen, Kay, I can't talk long, just wanted to see how everything is. Me and Gwen will
be back in a few days, ok?"
"Ya sure, Noah," I said. Lowering my voice so Miguel wouldn't hear, I said into the
receiver: "I finally told him, Noah. Miguel finally knows the truth!"
"That's great!!" Noah practically shouted into the phone. "I'll tell Gwen and the
others. They'll be so thrilled for you. Good luck, Kay."
"Thanks, big brother, see you soon," I said hanging up.
