Chapter 22
Early the next morning, Kim awoke quite early. She turned and looked at Rocky. He was in a deep sleep with his left arm slung over her. She gently lifted his arm and crawled from the bed, replacing his arm on the mattress where she had been laid. As she did so, she glanced at the bedside clock. 5'oclock. She'd be up now and on her way to the gym if she were in Florida. She wandered through the apartment and into the kitchen. She made a pot of coffee, then poured a mug full and sat in the comfy chair placed by the veranda. She stared out at the city. Street lights were just glowing gently, some turning off as the morning sun arose. She couldn't fight the temptation to open the doors and stand outside. Just as se leaned onto the wall, she heard the vague sounding of a door shutting gently. She turned to see if there was anyone around. No-one. She quickly decided it was probably Aisha tidying up.
"Huh hum".
"Jase. Sorry did I wake you"? Kim turned her head to see her long time friend stood at the doorway.
"Nah, I was awake".
"You awake at 5 in the morning. You feeling ok"?
"First time for everything". He laughed gently as he leaned on the wall beside her. "What you doin' up"?
"Suppose habit, I'd be up now and probably warming up at the gym now".
"Kim, is something bothering you, ever since you came home, you don't seem to be the same old Kim"?
"Yeah. What would you say if I told you, that I wanted to pack up and come home "Kim looked at Jason, watching for the tell tale signs of him lying.
"I'd tell you its your choice, you don't have to do anything you don't want to do".
"Then why do I feel as though I'm letting everyone down. I tried to talk to my mom about it, but she told me I'd be stupid to give up this opportunity to get out of this rinky dink town. It's as though she's telling me what I should do".
"Well what does Kim want to do"?
"I want to stay but I want to come home. I never did, never will think of this place as a rinky dink town. This place is MY home".
"Well, why not stay in Florida for a few more months. Work towards the Pan Global's, if your still not happy, come home".
"Why do you always seem to be able to put things in prospective for me". Kim hugged him, knowing deep inside that he was right.
"Well. It was about time I helped you out, you've rescued me from myself so many times, it was about time for repayment". Jason hugged back. Then they both walked back inside.
After a quick bite to eat, they both decided that it was pointless just sitting around and that they might as well go downstairs and clear up a little. They quickly went and got dressed. Kim had the urge to slip into her gym clothes. By the time they were downstairs it had turned 6.45. Aisha would probably be up soon and demand to know why she wasn't the first up as she usually was.
"Didn't you ever have doubts when you went to the Peace conference"? Kim asked as she passed a handful of glasses over the counter to Jason who was filling the dish washer.
"Oh, yeah millions of times, I missed you and Billy, I felt responsible because we had left you with 3 new rangers who had never had any experience. I was worried about you landing on your feet when your mom and dad split, but I knew what I was doing was important and that you'd call if you needed me, or in your case been as your as stubborn as hell, Billy would call".
"Okay, I think we're all tidy, lets have some fun. Whats the point of having gym when you don't use it". Kim laughed as she glanced around the room for anymore dirty dishes. "Right I think its about time I taught you a little gymnastics, you've taught me enough karate to last a life time. Now its my turn". Kim continued to laugh.
"Hey, I'll have you know, Rocky's taught me how to a pretty good piroette". Jason laughed as he slung his arm across her shoulders as they walked to the main floor.
"Oh, I can just see you in a tutu". Kim laughed even harder as she stepped onto the floor and begun a few flips to warm up.
"I think I'll just watch". Jason stood to the side and watched his 'sister' do what she did best.
Kim begun with simple moves to warm up, as soon as she felt her joints loosen and her muscles tighten she bean much more complicated moves such as flip into midair splits back into a handstand.
"God, does she know how good she is". Jason thought. Although most moves he had seen her do before, some he had seen but she had never really nailed them the way she was doing now. He couldn't help but look at her proudly. She was his little sister and he was prouder than he had ever been of her. Out of all his best friends, he was more proud of her than any. She had aimed for something and he knew she was going to achieve it.
So what do you think. I still need your thoughts on what Trini and Billy's baby should be called - even if you think the names supplied need changing. Please R&R!
