Dedications/Thank yous: All my PRN friends for being interested in the story and trying not to kill me for pairing Kira and Tommy. Jud (JamesEricOliver), Ha ha, I got Kira and Tommy stuck in your head. Just for you I might actually write more stories just to keep you happy, my friend. LaurenLiz19, I am not sure if there are any other Kira and Tommy stories out there and I'm glad you are interested with the story and pairing.
Its the way your body trembles when it's next to mine
This pain I think about it everyday
It tells me I'm never gonna get away
I know it's over but I can't escape memories
And how to face another day
Kira Ford awoke on Tommy Oliver's chest, their bodies bare and exhausted, the sound that woke her grew louder and she realized what she was hearing. Someone was knocking on the front door, with a groan she rolled off of him and pulled on a bathrobe that hung on the bedroom door. Heading down the hall and to the front door she prayed it wasn't Trent Mercer or Conner McKnight, she didn't want to deal with them in the state she was. As she pulled open the door, her prayers were answered as Ethan James and Hayley stood outside the door. Ethan could see through her as he went to embrace her, pulling her into a brotherly hug.
"Hey Kira, how long have you been having sex with Dr. O?" he asked, Kira's eyes widened and she slapped him hard on the shoulder. He just laughed as he stepped in with Hayley, whose face either looked like she was going to laugh or swallow her tongue.
"Ethan, that's none of your business and Hayley don't swallow your tongue, I don't need you dropping dead in the kitchen." Kira said over her shoulder as she walked into the living room. Together the three took seats and the first thing Hayley could say was.
"When? How? What?" Kira smiled and lounged back in the lazy boy recliner she was currently taking residence in.
"It's a long story, but I wouldn't be making snap judgements, at least I waited until I was legal to start anything, not 17 like you Ethan and you Hayley are no place to say anything to Tommy. You are both very similar in who you share your beds with." Hayley blushed crimson and Kira felt better, since Ethan just burst into laughter. Ethan had started seeing Hayley when he was 17 and they had the relationship that Kira actually envied, it was pure and passionate and they were in a love that would last for eternity. Tommy came into the room, rubbing his head while yawning. He had put on boxers and PJ pants and sat in the chair next to Kira, as her eyes met his he realized that the two knew their relationship. He sighed and took her hand; she gave him a small smile and looked at the other two.
"Tommy, I'm going to tell them what's happening since they pretty much have a general idea. Ethan, Hayley, our relationship I guess you would say started, initially when I first moved in with Tommy. I was attending college and I needed a placed to live since I couldn't afford to live in the dorms. Tommy was sick of living alone so he extended the offer of staying here with him. We've had this…attraction since our Ranger days and after a week we couldn't deny it. I had come home one day and I collapsed on the couch, Tommy came in and he did something that no one had done to me in a long time. No not that Ethan! He held me in his arms and I kissed him that was the first step to what we are now. Gradually we began to share the same bed, then one night we got swept up in an emotion and we became intimate. We love each other and care for each other but we're not in true love, neither of us have that feeling. We're just having fun, I guess you can say, we're not using each other we have a physical and emotion attraction but its not forever. Does that make any since to either of you?" Kira asked, Hayley nodded and Ethan grinned a wolfish grin and leaned forward, Kira stared at him and then realized he was closing her bathrobe. She fixed her gaze and looked to him, he held up his hands in surrender.
"Sorry, I didn't think you'd want that to fall all the way open, don't worry I couldn't see anything I just didn't think you'd want to flash everyone." Ethan explained; Kira's anger melted away and she smiled.
"Thanks but now that you've interrupted my ramble fest I have no idea what in the hell I was talking about so I'm going to go shower. If you guys want to crash in my room you can, you guys look tired." Kira said, and slowly dropped Tommy's hand and ambled off down the hallway. They watched her go then Hayley stood up and Ethan followed suit, Tommy stood as well.
"I had no idea that there was another room here." Ethan said Tommy laughed and shook his head and led them down the other hall where a Kira's room was. Ethan looked around the room was clean and orderly.
"Does she even use this room?" Hayley asked, Tommy smiled a small smile.
"Yeah, she comes in here to write music or to get away from me when I'm in an annoying mood." He laughed softly and then left the two to sleep. Walking back towards his room he heard Kira singing softly in the shower. That was a good sign, he tossed his clothes off and they landed somewhere in the room, he never cared where they landed. Kira was shampooing her hair when he entered the room and he pulled back the part of the curtain furthest from the showerhead.
"Hey shove over." He said, she laughed and scooted away and pulled him to the spray with her, getting up on her tiptoes she kissed him and he hungrily kissed her back. After it broke he held her close and she sighed.
"You have to tell Conner and Trent. I don't think I could break it to them…well I could to Trent but it would be awkward." She said, he smiled, knowing she still had a soft spot for Conner, though he was the one who broke her heart years ago.
