The warmth of the sun woke Kim up early in the morning. A peaceful feeling came over her when she realized where she was. She glanced over at Kenny's sleeping form and smiled. She noticed behind him was a clock that read 7:30 and knew she had to get going. She slid out of the bed reluctantly taking the sheet with her. Kenny started to stir and was awake by the time she had most of her clothes back on. The only she couldn't seem to find was her shirt.

"It's downstairs." He said reading her mind. He raised his head up and placed it the palm of hand. She moved back over the bed and sat beside him.

"Thanks. I have to go." She gave him a light kiss and smiled.

"Do you really?" He wrapped his other arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him.

"Yes. My parents are already going to be up and they will soon realize that I am not home, if they haven't already."

"What if they have? What are you going to tell them?" He voice seemed a little panicked. He hadn't thought of what her parents were going to do or say last night.

"What do you want me to tell them?" He gave her a questioning shrug. "Well you are the deciding factor here Kenny. I will tell the truth but is that what you want?"

"Maybe we should wait to tell anyone. Just for a little while." He hoped that she didn't take it the wrong way but he didn't think that he could handle the controversy just yet.

"That's fine. I will just tell them we fell asleep watching the movie." She gave him another quick kiss and stood back up. "If they ask that is." She knew they were going to ask but she was hoping that they haven't noticed her gone. "I will call you later today, okay?" He nodded and she went downstairs to retrieve her shirt and head for home.

The whole way home she ran different scripts in her head. Her father freaked the last time her and Kenny had even suggested dating. She knew that Kenny was right about keeping it quite for now. She just hoped that her mother would buy the excuse she had formulated in mind as she pulled into the driveway.

She entered through the kitchen and both parents were seated at the table. Neither seemed worried which shocked Kim a little.

"Kim, are you just getting home now?" Jill said looking up from her paper. Jimmy's eyes also turned to look in her direction.

"Yeah, sorry. I fell asleep at Kenny's. We were watching a movie and both passed out on the couch. I came home as soon as I woke up." She tried to keep her voice calm. Jimmy just nodded and went back to his paper but Jill's eyebrows perked up. Kim crossed the kitchen to get herself a glass of juice.

"I have to get going." Jimmy said standing up. He grabbed his jacket and gave Jill a quick kiss on the check before leaving.

Kim headed for the stairs. She wanted to shower, change and call Kenny back.

"Kim, are you sleeping with Kenny?" Kim stopped dead in her tracks and turned to face her mother. The bluntness of her question had Kim in shock.

"No. Why would you say that?" She hoped her face wasn't giving her away.

"You have been spending a lot of time together and now you come home at 7:30 in the morning." Jill took another sip of her coffee.

"So?" Kim questioned.

"So, I don't want you getting hurt. He's married. Look I know I can't lecture you on this but Kim he has only been separated a few weeks."

"MOM! I'm not sleeping with him." She lied through her teeth. "We just fell asleep. We were even on different couches. I'm going to get a shower." She started for the stairs again.

"Kim, I mean it, stay away. You will be the only one getting hurt if you don't."

Kim rolled her eyes at her mother and continued on her way. She had never out right lied to them before. She usually was able to dodge the question and turn it back on them. But her mother's question had railroaded her so much she couldn't think fast enough. She knew that they would find out eventually but for now Kenny wanted to be just the two of them.
