Chapter 7


Kay finished off the last of her drink and tossed the cup away. She was sitting up on the kitchen counter talking to some college friends of Noah's. She had a gut feeling that the pretty red head she had been talking to all night was Noah's booty call or wanted to be. By the way the two exchanged looks all night, Kay had a feeling.


Kay looked around the room for Jess to check up on her. She was sitting on the couch having a deep conversation with a guy Kay hadn't met before. Jess looked like she was having a good time, so she didn't bother her.

Noah came into the kitchen and wrapped his arm around the red head's shoulders and pulled her close. "So, Sherry I see you've met one of my little sisters."

Sherry smiled, "Yeah, she's pretty cool. A lot more mature than most high schoolers."

Noah laughed, "Yeah, well Kay's always been wise beyond her years."

Kay smirked at him, "Don't you have something else to do?" Kay asked looking pointedly at Sherry.

Noah grinned, "As a matter of fact, I do." Noah led Sherry down the hall to his bedroom.


Josh and Miguel were shotgunning beers and talking shit with some of Noah's friends. The two guys hadn't felt out of place at all. Most of the college guys that were there, were on the Boston U. Football team. The guys slipped right into the shop talk. Josh finished his beer and glanced over at Kay. She was all by herself in the kitchen. Finally! Josh didn't think that she was ever going to stop talking to that red head.

Kay spotted him looking at her and smiled and gave him a chin up.

Josh grinned and walked over to her. He leaned against the opposite counter. "Hey."

Kay blushed, suddenly nervous with his direct attention at her. Josh had these incredible eyes that made you feel like the only woman, the only person, alive.

Josh grinned again at her. "You want another drink?"

Kay tossed her hair over her shoulder, "Yeah, sure."

Josh got her a Sky Blue out of one of the coolers and a Coors Light for himself. He stepped close to her and handed her the drink. His fingers brushed hers and she felt a jolt. Josh leaned even closer to Kay... CRASH!!

Kay jumped away at the noise. Josh half turned towards the sound, "What the..?"

Kay hopped down and pushed her way into the living room, with Josh close behind her.


A fight had broke out in the living room between two of the football players. One of them was the one that Jessica had been talking to. Jessica sat on the couch trying to be as small as possible since the fight was getting closer and closer to her. Kay noticed this at the exact moment that Josh did.

Josh looked around her someone to help him break up the fight, but everyone was cheering it on and he couldn't find Miguel.


Josh took a deep breath and jumped into the fray. He tried pushing the two in the direction of the door and away from Jessica. When he got them a little farther he spared a glance at Kay to see if she was helping Jessica. She was and he earned a punch in the jaw for not paying attention. Josh retaliated with a punch of his own. He felt the satisfying crunch of bone and grinned. There was nothing like a good fight. Finally someone opened the door and the two took it outside.

Josh leaned against the door and tried to catch his breath. Noah's friends went over to him and did the handshake thing with him for his bravery. Josh had just went up in the ranks in their minds. He looked around for Kay and Jess, but didn't see them. But he did see Miguel coming in from the balcony with a blonde.

Josh rolled his eyes. "Hey Lopez!" He shouted as he pushed his way threw the crowd. "That's just great man, you're getting some ass, while I'm getting pounded on!"

Miguel blushed and then frowned, "Dude! What the fuck? Who hit you?"

Josh sniffed and shrugged as if it way nothing. "Don't worry about it." Josh then smiled, or tried to through his busted lip. "Get you some, Lopez!"

Miguel ducked his head, somewhat embarrassed by Josh's comments, while the blonde clung to his arm and giggled. She was in Cosmetology he had leaned and very skilled with her tongue.


Kay and Jessica were in the bathroom and Kay was seeing if her sister was ok. Jess sat on the lid of the toilet. "Oh my god, Kay did you see that? Wow, that was some fight. I mean sure I've seen plenty of fight's before, but that was soo close. I mean, I was just talking to Brian and then that other guy came over and I don't even know what he said, but it sure pissed Brian off."

Kay sighed, "I know. I was afraid something was going to happen to you, then before I could say a word, Josh like jumped into the fight and got them away from you. He was crazy!"

"I know I couldn't believe that! He's such a nice guy! Kay you should go thank him."

Kay laughed, "Me? You're the one he saved! You do it!"

Jessica shook her head, "Nope. I may be the one he saved, but he did it for you. Go thank him."

Kay laughed again, "What's with the peer pressure?" Kay and Jessica emerged from the bathroom and rejoined the party. Miguel and his blonde were on the couch talking closely, but Kay couldn't find Josh. She didn't even blink at the sight of Miguel.

She went out onto the balcony and found him there sitting in one of the lawn chairs. "Hey."

Josh looked up at her, "Hey."

Kay saw his spilt lip, "Oh my God! You were hit."

Josh shrugged, "It doesn't hurt. I've had worse in practice."

Kay walked over to him to see. Josh patted his lap and grinned. Kay couldn't help but laugh. She perched on the edge of his lap. Josh rolled his eyes and wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer.

Kay turned to where she could see his face. She reached up and gently touched the wound on his face. It was cold outside, but she didn't feel it. Not with being as close to Josh as she was. She could feel his body heat seeping into her. Josh met her eyes. "Kay..." he said softly.

Kay's heart melted at the sweetness of the moment. She closed her eyes and leaned into him.

Josh felt her lips touch his and he kissed her back, softly. He felt her hesitating, and deepened the kiss. He slipped his tongue into her mouth gently and tasted her.

Kay sucked in a breath and shuddered when she felt his tongue slide into her mouth. She had never experienced anything like this before.

They pulled way and looked at each other.
