Chapter 20
"Kay." Miguel whispered softly. "I'm sorry. It's my fault. I love you."
"Oh Miguel! It's my fault. I'm just so busy with everything. I mean my parents getting divorced and Ivy marrying my dad, then our double wedding. I haven't been paying attention to you. I'm so sorry." Kay said running up to hug him.
"It's okay. I'm just so happy and blessed to have you in my life."
"I love you, Miguel."
"I love you, Kay."
They kissed each other passionately.
"Miguel, on Saturday we'll spend the whole day together doing what ever you want." Kay told him.
"I like the sound of that." He said smiling mysteriously.
"Hold your horses!" She told him. "Remember my promise."
"I know. I just wait until I can take you in my arms." He said. "Do you want to go in the spare room?" He said pulling out a bottle of champagne.
"Do you even have to ask?"
He picked her up in his arms. Kay was giggling like a litttle girl. She loved Miguel so much. Soon they would be one. Jessica was in her room watching them. At first she was going to go by Kay and comfort her, but when Miguel came home she peaked out of her door. There she stood watching them make up. She couldn't wait until she told her crush that she was in love with him.
"I'll do it on Monday at school." Jessica told herself. "I wonder what he'll say."
She then saw Kay coming down the hall in Miguel's arms, so she closed her door and jumped on her bed. Miguel loved holding Kay in his arms. It made him realize just how lucky he was. They reached the spare bedroom's door. Kay was going to get down, but Miguel wouldn't let her go. He kicked in the door. Kay was surprised when she saw her room.
"Miguel, did you do this?" Kay asked amazed.
"Anything for the one I love." He said laying her on their bed.
"Oh Miguel! Come here." She said pulling him onto her by his shirt.
The room had pink, white, and red rose petals all over the floor. They were leading to the bathroom.
"Wait, Kay. Follow the roses." He told her.
"Why?"
"You'll see."
She followed the petals to the bathroom door. She was in tears when she opened the door.
"Miguel! Oh I love you so much! When did you do all of this?"
"Before I came home. I thought that you would probably be in our room, so I figured that I would do it in the spare room."
"I do love you so much."
"You have no idea how much I love you." Miguel said.
In the bathroom there were more rose petals. The bathtub was filled up with bubbles. White candles were along the bath. But the thing that made Kay cry was the pictures. Miguel had put pictures of them all over. From when they were little to now. They had so many memories together. The picture of their first kiss was hanging. It was at one of Theresa's birthday parties. Kay and Miguel were only about 8. All of the other kids were playing spin the bottle. Kay and Miguel just watched them. They thought it was the coolest game ever. Well at least Kay did. She remembers everything that happened leading up to the kiss.
Flashback:
"Miguel, look! Theresa is kissing a boy!" Kay shouted out.
"Yuck! I'm telling Luis!" Miguel said starting to run.
"Oh no you don't!" Kay shouted running after him.
Kay tackled him to the ground.
"Get off of me! You're a girl!" He said trying to push her off.
"Not until you kiss me." She said stubbornly.
"No!" He said finally getting free.
"Come back here!"
"Never!" He said laughing. He wasn't looking where he was going. He bumped into someone then.
"Mama says no running in the house." Theresa informed him.
"But, Theresa. Kay is trying to kiss me!"
"Oh she is! Is she?" Theresa said hatching a scheme.
"Yeah! Girls are bad." He told her.
"Well, follow me and I'll help you out." She told him nicely.
"Thanks, sis."
"Oh no problem. Here put these clothes on." She told him. She handed him some clothes that were too big for him.
"Why do I have to where these?" He asked very confused.
"It's a disguise."
"Disguise? What's that?"
"Something that hides you."
"Oh." He said.
"Follow me." She said pulling him. "Stay right here." She told him strictly.
She walked over to Whitney and told her something that amused her.
"Okay." Whitney said agreeing.
Whitney walked around trying to find Kay. She saw her and called her.
"Kay."
"What, Whitney?"
"I heard that you're trying to find Miguel."
"Yeah! Do you know where he is?" Kay asked.
"Well, I do. Do you want to play that game with Miguel?" Whitney asked pointing to a bottle.
"Yeah!" Kay screamed in joy.
"Okay. Put this on." Whitney handed her some of Theresa's clothes. "Now we have to put some make up on so you'll be pretty."
"Me want to be pretty." Kay said.
"Yep. Follow me to Theresa's room."
Kay followed Whitney. Inside the room was Theresa.
"Okay." Theresa told Whitney. "Let's get her ready."
They put pink eye shadow on her to match her pink dress that was Theresa's. Whitney brushed her hair. It was the 80's, so she wanted to give her big hair. After teasing and using a lot of hair spray, Whitney was satisfied with Kay's hair. Kay's hair looked like a big hairball. Kay though thought it made her pretty. Theresa put a bright red lipstick on Kay and then some blush.
"Okay. You're done." Theresa said trying to keep in her laughter.
"You look so pretty!" Whitney said.
"Thank you." Kay said. "I have to find Miguel."
"Oh follow us. We know where he is." Theresa said.
"Good." Kay said hoping along.
They went into Luis' room. Inside Kay thought it was one of Theresa's friends.
"Hi!" She said cheerfully. "I'm gonna kiss Miguel."
The boy just sat there.
"You sure are a strange boy!" She told him.
"Kay, sit on the floor." Whitney directed her.
"Okay."
"Miguel, sit next to Whitney on the floor." Theresa whispered to him.
Miguel did what he was told to. Theresa then locked the door.
"Okay. Kay spin the bottle and whomever it lands on, you have to kiss them." Whitney said.
"Okay. I hope it will be Miguel!"
Kay spinned the bottle. She was disappointed when it landed on the boy who didn't speak.
"Kiss!" Theresa said excitedly.
"Do I have to?" Kay asked.
But before anyone could answer the boy took off the clothes that were too big for him and leaned in for a kiss.
"Miguel!" Kay screamed.
Theresa knew that they were going to kiss, so she took out a camera.
"Smooch!"
Miguel kissed Kay. Kay then began to blush. Theresa and Whitney both were happy for Miguel and Kay.
"We'll leave you two alone." Theresa said.
Miguel and Kay were now alone.
"I thought you said girls were bad?"
"Not you!" He said kissing her again.
They weren't experienced kissers so there kiss were just long pecks on the lips. Theresa and Whitney ran out of Luis' room laughing.
"Have you two seen Kay and Miguel?" Luis asked.
"Uh yeah. They're in your room." Theresa said.
"Thanks, I'm gonna take them to the park." He told them.
He opened his door and screamed.
"Ahhhh!"
Theresa and Whitney continued to laugh. Everyone ran to Luis' room. They all were shocked to see Kay and Miguel.
"Kay!" Sam shouted. "What on earth!"
"Daddy, look! I'm pretty and I have a boyfriend." Kay told everyone.
Pilar, Grace, Sam, and Luis all looked at each other. They knew from there on that Miguel and Kay would marry someday.
"Come on, Kay." Grace said. "Let mommy fix your hair."
"I like my hair. Whitney did it."
"Oh she did."
"Yep."
"Who did your make up?" Pilar asked.
"Theresa."
"Theresa, Whitney, come over here." Luis said.
The next thing Kay knew she was having her make up taken off. Pilar, Luis, Sam, Theresa, and Whitney all went in another room to talk in private."
End of flashback:
"Miguel, we have been through so much." Kay told him.
"I know. Never did I once stop loving you."
They spent the rest of the night kissing and talking.
Meanwhile at the mansion the next morning. Theresa was in the bathroom trying to clean up her face. Fox had woken up and went into the bathroom to find Theresa.
"Theresa." He said smiling.
She couldn't say anything.
"I know you're mad at me, but I did what I had to do."
"Why?" She asked.
"Don't ever question anything I do. Got that?" He asked raising his voice.
"Yes."
"Anyways you're not going to work today or for the rest of the week. And I will tell Ivy and Ethan that you have decided to refuse their offer. Okay?"
She nodded her head.
"Good." He said. "I have some new rules for you." He told her. "Rule 1. I am now going to work in the same office as you.
2. I am being promoted to a higher job than you. 3. You listen to everything I say. 4. Never question anything I do. 5. If you want to go out anywhere, then you have to ask for my information. 6. Can't spend more than 5 minutes with any guy. 7. You give me what I want when I want it. 8. I am not adopting Little Ethan ever. He isn't my responsibility. 9. No make up. 10. From now on, I pick out your clothes. Got a problem with any of these rules?"
"No." She said.
"Okay."
He lifted his hand as though he was going to hit her. Theresa flinched. Instead he stroked her hair gently.
"Did you think I was going to hit you?" He asked laughing.
"No." She said.
"Rule 11. Never lie to me because I know the truth always. And one more rule. 12. Don't tell anyone about last night. If you do, then you won't see tomorrow."
"Okay." She said very frightened.
"Good. I have to go to work now, so I'm going to lock you in here until I get home. Until your face gets better, you won't leave this room."
She went and laid down on the bed after he left. She was shaking. Her sugar was low. Then again, it would be because she didn't take her shot or eat anything yet. She would call and have Phyllis bring it and leave it in her room, while she hid in the bathroom. She was lucky that Fox forgot to lock the door. She would get food, but she wouldn't leave the room. Who knows he could come home at any time. She had to plug the phone in again.
"Phyllis, do you think that you could bring breakfast up for me? I'm not feeling good. Oh and also my shot." She lied.
"Of course, Theresa."
Theresa heard Phyllis knock so she went in the bathroom and shouted, "Phyllis, just leave it on the table. I'm in the bathroom right now."
"Okay." Phyllis said placing it on a table.
Theresa walked out once she heard Phyllis leave. After Theresa ate, she just laid on her bed. Thinking about last night.
"How could he be like this?" She asked herself.
"Ring, ring!" The phone rang.
"Hello." Theresa said trying to sound happy.
"Hey girl what's up?" Whitney asked.
"Nothing." She sounded depressed.
"I heard that you're home sick. Are you okay?"
Theresa had remembered what Fox said to her this morning.
"12. Don't tell anyone about last night. If you do, then you won't see tomorrow."
"Theresa?" Whitney asked no getting worried.
"Theresa?" She asked again.
"Huh?"
"Are you okay?" She asked.
"I'm fine." She said holding her tears back.
"Do you want me to come over?"
"No!" Theresa screamed. "No, I'm fine."
"Okay. Well, I'll let you go then. I'm going to call you later. Okay?"
"Okay, but I might be asleep."
"Okay. Theresa, you would tell me if something was wrong. Right?"
"Of course. I'll talk to you later." She said before hanging up the phone.
"Whitney, but I can't tell you this." She told herself.
"Kay." Miguel whispered softly. "I'm sorry. It's my fault. I love you."
"Oh Miguel! It's my fault. I'm just so busy with everything. I mean my parents getting divorced and Ivy marrying my dad, then our double wedding. I haven't been paying attention to you. I'm so sorry." Kay said running up to hug him.
"It's okay. I'm just so happy and blessed to have you in my life."
"I love you, Miguel."
"I love you, Kay."
They kissed each other passionately.
