Kimmico

Chapter XIV: Dealing With the Pain

By: Michelle

Michaelangelo jumped at the sound of clanging pots. He sat up on the sofa and looked around. Boy did he regret giving up his bed to let Kimmico sleep.

Kimmico was the one making all the noise. He observed her running around the kitchen cooking and cleaning.

He got up and wrapped his arms around her. "What are you doing?"

Kimmico gently pushed him away. "I'm cooking."

"Kimmi, there is no way we can eat all this food by the time we leave. You need to stop this."

Kimmico shook her head. 'No. I."

"I know you are hurting, but if you don't calm down and relax you are going to hurt yourself."

Kimmico ignored him even though she knew he was right. But, this was the only way she felt comfortable mourning. She began to roughly stir a bowl of cake mix.

"Kimmi please." Michaelangelo grabbed her hand.

Kimmico pulled back again.

Michaelangelo began to turn off the oven and the burners on the stove.

"Stop." She fussed. "You are ruining everything."

"No you need to stop this."

"You can not tell me what to do or stop me from doing what I want."

"This has gone too far." Michaelangelo snatched the bowl out of her hands.

"Give me that back."

"No you need to stop this."

Kimmico steamed. "Give it back to me."

Michaelangelo held the bowl as far from her as possible. "No."

"GIVE IT BACK."

"No."

Kimmico began hitting him.

Michaelangelo dropped the bowl in the sink and grabbed her wrist to stop her. "Kimmi stop."

"NO..NO."

Michaelangelo spun her around and pressed her back against his chest.

Kimmico fought for a few seconds. He was much too strong for her to get free.

"Please stop Kimmi." He whispered in her ear.

Tears began to roll down her cheeks.

Michaelangelo released his grip on her as she slowly turned in his arms. She laid her head on his chest.

"You are never going to be alone." He began. "I will never leave your side. If you let me, I will love, honor, and cherish you until the end of time."

Kimmico looked up into his eyes as he wiped a tear from her cheek.

"Kimmico, I love you." Michaelangelo leaned down and kissed her for the first time.

Kimmico accepted the kiss and wrapped her arms around his neck.

Motivated by relentless desire, Michaelangelo and Kimmico found their way to the bedroom.

Kimmico draped her arm around Michaelangelo's chest.

"Do you think you family will like me?"

"Of course they will." He said. "What's not to like?" "I'm serious."

Michaelangelo pulled Kimmico closer to him. "They are going to love you."

Kimmico smiled and closed her eyes. It was time to start a new life. She was glad it was with Michaelangelo.
