Chapter 21
Kay woke up in Miguel's arms the next morning. She smiled remembering last night. She watched Miguel as he breathed.
"He looks so peaceful." She thought. "I hate to wake him up, but I have no choice. We have to get ready for school."
She didn't have to wake him up though. He woke up as she sneezed.
"Bless you!" He said smiling at Kay.
He closed his eyes from the sun that was shining through. He got up and closed the curtains.
"So what do you want to do?" He asked Kay.
"Um...well go take a shower while I make breakfast." she told him.
"Care to join me?" He asked with a look on his face that said you know you want me, and you know I want you, so what's the problem.
"Miguel," She laughed, "you know the rules."
"Yeah, yeah."
"I'm gonna go and wake up Jessica." Kay said while putting on her pink robe.
"Wait!" Miguel yelled at her.
"What now?" She asked.
"I want a morning kiss." He said like a little kid.
"Well just one." She said.
Miguel pulled Kay close to him. He stared into her beautiful blue eyes before planting one on her lips. The kiss lasted very long, longer than Kay expected. They finally resurfaced for some air.
"Miguel!" Kay said trying to catch her breath.
"What?" He asked very innocently.
"I said one kiss."
"Yes, but you didn't say how long." He winked at her.
"You're the devil himself."
"I guess I hid my horns well." He teased.
"Go get dressed," she said pushing him.
"You're the boss." He said going into the bathroom.
Kay went to wake Jessica up, but she was already dressed and ready for school.
"Oh, well come downstairs and help me make breakfast." Kay told her sister.
"Okay."
They went and made a wonderful breakfast. Kay made pancakes while Jessica made eggs. They set the table and even had some flowers in the center of the table. Once Miguel came downstairs for breakfast, Kay ran upstairs and took a shower. Soon they were on their way to school. When they entered the school, they were told to take a seat in the auditorium.
"Why?" Kay asked.
"There's gonna be an announcement." The girl said.
Kay, Miguel, and Jessica met up with Reese.
"Hey Reese!" Jessica blushed.
"Hey Jess!" He told her.
"Hey Reese!" Kay said.
"Hey girl!"
"What's up man?" Miguel asked.
"Nothing. You?"
"Oh nothing. I just have the best girl in my life." Miguel informed him.
"I wish I had someone." Reese said sadly.
"Reese, could I talk to you about something?" Jessica asked.
"Sure. We'll meet you guys in the auditorium." Reese told Kay and Miguel.
"Alright. Don't be late." Kay said.
Once Kay and Miguel walked away, Jessica became very nervous.
"What did you need to talk about?" Reese asked.
"Well...I...uh...," was all she could say.
"Okay. Well, I have something to tell you that may shock you. IS that okay?"
"Yeah."
"Jessica, I'm in love."
"Oh!" She said a little depressed.
"Yes. In love with you." He said lifting her chin up and staring into her eyes.
"Me?" She asked.
"Yes, you."
"Oh Reese! I was going to tell you that I'm in love with you."
"You were?" He asked very surprised.
"Yes. Would you like to go out some time?"
"I'd love to! Let's go to the auditorium before we're late."
"Okay, Reese."
They walked into the auditorium hand in hand. Kay noticed them and smiled. She was happy that everyone she knew was in love. Her thoughts were interrupted when Mrs. Perfetti spoke.
"Good morning everyone! I have called you all her for a reason. You see, we are going to have a talent show. I'm going to go over the rules now, and when I'm done I'll answer any questions that you may have." Mrs. Perfetti informed everyone.
"Miguel!" Kay said turning toward him. "Can we do a duet?"
"Anything your heart desires." He told her.
"Do you know how much I love you?" She asked.
"I could guess." He said kissing her.
"Excuse me!" A teacher who was sitting behind them said. "Do that on your own time."
"Sorry." Miguel and Kay said blushing.
Kay was looking around the room when all of the sudden she noticed IT.
"Oh no!" She whispered.
"Something wrong?" Miguel asked.
"No, nothing." She lied.
The rest of the day went on as usual for Miguel, but not for Kay. IT was bothering her the whole day. Miguel knew something was wrong, but he knew better than to keep asking her about it. Once they were let out, Kay grabbed Miguel and flew over to the mansion.
"Kay, are you okay?" He asked getting very worried.
"No. No. I just need to speak to Ivy."
"Okay."
Kay got to the mansion in a matter of minutes because of her driving. She flung her door opened and ran into the mansion. Miguel followed her in.
"Ivy! Ivy! I mean Mom! Mom!" Kay screamed.
"Kay, what's wrong?" Ivy asked walking into the livingroom to find Kay.
"She's still here!" Kay said crying.
"Who?" Miguel asked putting his arms around Kay.
"No one." Ivy said. "Don't worry Kay. I'll take care of it."
"I hope so. Come on, Miguel. I just want to go home and sleep." Kay said.
"Okay, honey."
Miguel and Kay went home then. They didn't say anything about the girl Kay was worried about. They just spent the evening in each other's arms saying nothing.
Meanwhile Whitney had just hung up with Theresa.
"Something is wrong. I know. Why can't you just tell me." Whitney told herself. "I wonder if Ethan knows what this is all about?"
Whitney picked up her cell phone and dialed Ethan's work number.
"Ring, ring!"
"Hello?" Ethan said on it's first ring.
"Ethan, it's Whitney."
"Oh hey, Whitney! What can I do for you?"
"Well, I'm calling about Theresa."
"Theresa? Why is something wrong?"
"Well, I thought that you may know. Did you talk to Theresa yesterday?"
"Yeah. Why?"
"Did she sound upset or angry or anything?"
"She was crying."
"Crying? Because I called her today and she just doesn't seem like herself."
"I can look into it." Ethan offered.
"Oh please. I'm really worried about her."
"Okay. I'll talk to Fox about it."
"Thanks, Ethan."
"Okay. Bye."
"Bye."
Ethan hung up his phone and looked at his watch.
"It's already time to leave. This day went by fast." He was talking to himself.
Fox was leaving himself. He was walking past Ethan's office, when Ethan noticed him.
"Hey Fox!" Ethan called.
"What's up?"
"Has Theresa been okay since she came home?"
"Yeah. You know, she wanted me to tell you that she won't be taking your offer about the fashion line. She just needs some time to relax. You know since she found out about Pilar and her."
"Oh yeah. I understand. Well, I won't keep you."
"Okay. Well, I'll see you at home." Fox said heading out.
"Bye."
The first thing Fox did when he got home was have a drink. He had some of his father's brandy. Then he took himself up to is bedroom. He unlocked the door and found Theresa sleeping.
He leaned close to her and whispered in her ear, "Rise and shine, beautiful. We're gonna have some fun tonight."
She immediately woke up when she heard his voice.
"Hi," she said softly.
"You look tired."
"I am. I feel so weak."
"Well, in that case I'll let you sleep tonight. Tomorrow we can have some fun."
She fell back to sleep before he finished his sentence.
"So sweet." He said brushing a strand of her hair away from her face. "Sleep well."
Her face was black and blue, but the swelling had gone down. Soon she would be able to go to work again.
"Ding, Dong!"
Fox ran downstairs to answer the door.
"Hi Luis, Hi Pilar!" Fox smiled.
"Hi!" Luis said.
"Hello, Mijo. How is Theresita?"
"She's fine. She's upstairs resting."
"Oh. Well, I can see her tomorrow."
"Yes. Of course." He said.
"I'll go put your bags upstairs." Luis said.
"I'll get them." Fox said. "Go on home. I'm sure Beth needs you."
"Thanks."
Fox took Pilar's things upstairs while Pilar followed him. When they were in Pilar's room, they heard a scream.
"Oh my God!"
Kay woke up in Miguel's arms the next morning. She smiled remembering last night. She watched Miguel as he breathed.
