AN: Sorry I haven't updated in awhile, but I couldn't connect to the Internet. I also suffered from a case of writer's block. Too many story ideas and not enough time to get them all down on paper, but I'm back now.

CHAPTER 7

Secrets

"Hey Kim where are you going," Billy asked.

"Out."

"Out where?"

"That is none of your business Billy."

"Come on Kim. We've been in Roswell for six months, and you always told me where you're going."

"Yeah well, things change. You started dating Isabel right after we found out they were from another planet. Jason has been dating Buffy for four months, and we still haven't met her yet. I'm the only one left, so I'm entitled to some secrets. Besides I'm tired of you guys trying to set me up on dates."

"We're only trying to help."

"Have you seen some of the guys Maria has tried to get me to date? I'll find someone on my own. Who knows, I may have already found someone that you guys don't know about. Bye." Kim walked out leaving Billy stunned. Would she really hide the fact that she has been dating someone? Yes.

Billy called Isabel and told her what had happened. Isabel told Billy to meet her at the Crashdown. She was going to call everyone else and set up a meeting. They needed to find a way to follow her and find out what was going on. Their secrets were too important to just let anyone in on them. Billy agreed to meet her in an hour. After Billy hung up, Isabel called everyone else. The only one she couldn't get a hold of was Max, so she left a message on his machine. He was probably still at work. Hopefully he would come to the Crashdown after he got her message.

Kim was still laughing when she knocked on the door to his apartment. Her friends could really drive someone crazy. Kim's laughter died down when the door opened and she saw him standing there. The only thing he wore was a pair of jeans. His hair was still wet from the shower. Kim was quickly pulled inside and the door was shut. He pulled her into his arms and kissed her. Kim quickly melted into his arms. If her friends only knew what she did when she was with him. Only Jason knew her secret, and he promised to keep it quiet for the time being. Kim didn't even tell Jason everything that she had done in the last two months. Kim pulled away when she felt the need to breathe. Both of them were breathing hard. Lack of oxygen was always a problem when they were alone.

"Everyone is going to kill us when they find out."

"It's not my fault they're completely blind. I figured they would have figured it out by now. Do you know that they're at a meeting right now trying to decide how they can follow me without being detected?" Kim started laughing again.

"Yeah. Izzy called while I was in the shower. She left a message. I'm suppose to meet them after I get home from work."

"Maybe you should go Max."

"Why?"

"To find out what their plans are, as well as how much they really know."

"And what are you going to do while I'm gone?"

"I'll try to get a hold of Jason. Since he's the only one who knows about us, he'll find this funny."

"All right. I'll be back as soon as I can."

"I think you better finish getting dressed first."

"I wasn't planning on going out tonight."

"So hurry back." Max nodded and went to grab a T-shirt and his shoes. Kim watched as Max pulled the shirt over his head. The way his muscles flexed and unflexed really did something to her nervous system. Kim quickly looked away and started booting up his laptop.

Kim didn't notice Max's smile as he looked at her. He noticed that the outfit she wore hugged everyone of her curves. Her T-shirt showed off her upper body perfectly. Her jeans on the other hand were so tight, he just wanted to grab her and never let go. It was a shame he had to go to the Crashdown at the moment, but he promised himself that he was going to get back as soon as possible. Max was putting on his shoes just as Kim was signing online. He noticed that Jason's screen name popped up almost immediately. Max just shook his head. He had to leave. Max walked over and put his arms around Kim. Giving her a quick kiss, he told her that he would be back as soon as he could. Kim nodded and proceeded to write to Jason.

VioletPanther: Hey Jase, I thought you were going out with Buffy tonight.

SilverLion: We decided to stay in tonight. Every time we go out, everyone shows up and we don't get anytime alone. How about you? I thought you were going to be with Max.

VioletPanther: Billy called Isabel just as I was leaving. They decided to have a meeting.

SilverLion: What about?

VioletPanther: Me. Billy tried to get me to tell him where I was going. I wouldn't so he called Isabel. They felt that they needed to find out who I was seeing. Their afraid that he wouldn't be up to the challenge of keeping everyone's secrets.

SilverLion: If they only knew, right? You really should tell them.

VioletPanther: Get real. Max and I haven't really kept anything a secret from them, they just haven't noticed. I mean you would think that they would notice the looks we send each other, or the fact that we always find a way to touch each other.

SilverLion: Don't listen to him Kim. You're right in doing what you've been doing. The guys I can understand not noticing, but the girls should have noticed something by now. It's been two months.

VioletPanther: Hey Buffy. You really need to get your own screen name.

SilverLion: Yeah but I'm always over at Jason's dorm room, so I don't really need to talk to him like this. Besides Cal would have a fit if Jason and I spent all day together and then spent all night talking to each other online.

VioletPanther: You're lucky. At least your friends know that you two are dating. My friends are completely clueless.

SilverLion: Our friends only know because they pushed us together. You should have seen their faces when I told them about Jason. Thank God Jason thought about bringing the camera. It was priceless. It also gave us something to blackmail them with.

VioletPanther: You need to send me some copies. It would be great to see how people reacted to our secret. Max sort of freaked when I first told him, but he understood considering his secret.

SilverLion: That reminds me Kim, did you get his okay to tell us?

VioletPanther: Yes. He said I could tell you guys as long as it didn't go any further. Since we all know the value of secrecy, it was okay with him. Besides, it was only fair since he knows all of our secrets.

SilverLion: Does everyone else know?

VioletPanther: They know about the three of us, but Max and I didn't tell them about Buffy. We figured they weren't exactly ready to hear about Vampires being real. They only know that Buffy and her friends know about them, and that they are trustworthy.

SilverLion: So when will he be back?

VioletPanther: Now. Bye Scott, Bye Summers.

SilverLion: Bye Evans. Take care of her.

VioletPanther: Don't worry about that.

**VioletPanther has signed off**

**SilverLion has signed off**

"When did you get back?"

"A few minutes ago. You were a little busy at the time."

"Are you going to tell me how the meeting went or not?"

"Maybe later." Max pulled Kim out of the chair. He started kissing her while leading her to his bedroom.

##Two Hours Later##

"So are you going to tell me what happened now?" Kim looked up from where her head rested against his chest.

"They spent 30 minutes trying to figure out who you could be seeing. Do you know how many times I had to keep from laughing. Maria named everyone of the guys they set you up with. They have absolutely no clue what so ever."

"So what did they come up with. Is Billy going to try to put some kind of tracking device on me?"

"It was discussed, but I gave them a solution to the problem that they couldn't argue with."

"What?"

"I told them to let me follow you for a couple of weeks. I would let them know two weeks from today."

"And they agreed?"

"Are you kidding, the girls jumped at the suggestion. They seem to figure that if I see you with another guy, then I'll be forced to tell you how I feel about you. I figured in two weeks time, they'll either figure it out or we'll tell them. Either way, we get two weeks free from their meddling."

"And when I go away for the weekend, you can tell them that you're following me without them getting suspicious."

"Works out great, doesn't it?"

"And you call me sneaky." Kim kissed him. Neither of them thought about anything for the rest of the night. The next two weeks was definitely going to be interesting.
