Perfect Match 15
And Then She Was Gone
Kay leaned against the bar as she order her drink, coke. She was still underage and couldn't drink. The bartender slid her the drink then went on to serving other customers. She saw that Simone had gotten them a seat and she made her way across to her. They use to hang out here a lot until college had started up. She had spent many a moments day dreaming of how Miguel would kiss her here. She smirked at the thought of him. She definetly didn't feel that way about him anymore. All she ever thought about these days was Fox Crane and how he absolutely drove her crazy. He had recently asked her to move in with him and she had accepted. But she didn't want to get to comfortable.
She sat down next to Simone. "So, this was a good idea."
Simone nodded looking around. It seemed like yesterday to her that they had been these bratty teenagers who were dealing with the world in different ways. Then Kay had gotten pregnant and it had forced them to grow up. To see the world for what it was. A cruel hard place to live in, if you wanted to see it that way. The only thing that hadn't changed within the past year was Kay and Simone's friendship. If anything it had grown stronger. "Definetly better than staying at home."
"There are a lot of cute guys here tonight"smiled Kay who was checking out the opposite sex.
"Kay we both know that your not lookin to hard at any of these guys"Simone laughed.

She had on a black dress that fit the curves of her body. She leaned into Fox,knowing that no one here knew who they were. Theresa loved being in public, being able to be this close. But for her this was just an affair. Nothing to attach herself to permanetly. Oh no, Fox was just there and she liked him, but he wasn't her husband. As they moved to the music she glanced at her hand and wonders if maybe things were different, would she still be enclosed in Fox's embrace. Sighing softly the song ends and they go to sit down. To enjoy each others company, before he has to go back to Kay.

Simone rechecked her lipstick in her compact mirror. She happened to glance behind her and see Fox and his sister in law kissing in a booth a little ways back. Calmly she placed the compact right back in her mirrior, then turned to Kay.
"How do you feel about Fox? I mean really feel?"Simone asked as Kay sipped on the Coke, almost making her spew it all over the place.
"Well I guess you could say I'm getting attached, possible possessive. And maybe I even have the symptoms." Kay looked at Simone like she was wrapped in a straight jacket. "Why?"
"How possessive is possessive?"Simone avoided Kay's question for the moment.
"Well me seeing him with another girl would make me want ot beat them to death, but hey look at him. Who wouldn't get possssive?"Kay shrugged then asked again. "Why?"
This time Simone answered. "He's here with theresa and they were um............." She trailed off unsure of how to say it.
"Simone what?"
"They were kissing?"Simone bit her bottom lip as she saw her friend's face fall.
"I think i should get out of here and go to the apartment"Kay quickly recovered. She would not let this turn into a nightmare like it had with Miguel. "Lets go out the back way." They left without being seen by the couple.

Fox opened the door to his cozy apartment to a sight he thought he would never see. Kay sitting on the couch, bags packed, and an angry look on her face. He immediately knew that she knew and this was going to be the longest night of his life.
"So"he tried to smile. "Whats all this?"
"Oh all this stuff"Kay pointed to her three suitcases, "these are all of my clothes. I'm moving out."
"This time of night?"Fox asked. Kay looked at clock on the wall.
"Correction, Mr. Nicholas Foxworthy Crane, its five a.m." Kay stood up. She reached into her back pocket to retrieve the house key. "Thanks for everything. But I refuse to stay here with a liar."
"Kay what are you talking about?"he was trying to see if she knew the truth thinking she couldn't possible know, avoiding taking the key.
"Fox, please don't play with me. I have been a lying, decitful bitch so I know most of the tricks in the book. If you were going to play with me, the least you could have done was say hey,I'm bangin Theresa to." When he didn't take the key she flung it to the floor.
He shook his head as she picked up one suit case attempting to sit it outside of the door, but he grabbed her wrist and she dropped the suitcase. "What I do with Theresa is none of your buisness."
"Your right, Fox its completely none of my buisness. As far as I'm concerned you can screw her until the cows come home, or Ethan for that matter. I want nothing to do with you or her. In fact I'm quitting the magazine." Now that shocked him because he made sure Kay was making great money there. She'd be a fool to turn down that sort of cash.
"What?"he asked gripping her arm tighter.
"You heard me I'm quitting"her temper was flaring up. She hadn't lost control of it yet but she was ready to. "Someone has offered me a better job in Paris in about a month. They are paying me quite a lot of money for me to come there."
"So thats it. The money. I can more than double whatever this person is paying you"Fox leaned in closely. She use to die to be that close to him.
"No see Fox you think you can buy people. Its not about money. Its about starting new. Becoming independent. And thats what I'm going to do. I'm going to start over in Paris and leave this little life in Harmony here to rot." Kay tried to shake his grip alose but he wouldn't let go. "Pleae let go."
"No not until you explain to me why your so upset about me being with Theresa"he said in a demanding tone, that made it sound like he was talking to one of the Crane servants.
"I don't owe you anything at all"she took her free hand and pounded into his chest. "No let go damn it!"
Fox grabbed her hands and slammed her against the door. "I think your jealous of Theresa. Say that you are and I will leave her alone. I'll be with you. Thats what you want, right?" He then leaned down and kissed her, gently. He had always been the type to never take time to be gentle. It was always about being with different women, to be a player. But with Kay, it was different. She didn't care about his money, she cared about him. He stopped kissing her and leaned against her forehead. "Tell me what you want Kay, and I'll give it to you."
"I want you to leave me alone. Forget about me, because thas exactly what I'm going to do about you"Kay whispered as he let go of her. "Stay away from me Fox, and I hope you and Theresa will be very happy together." She picked up the rest of her suitcases and she left. He watched from the window as she got into a cab and rode away.
"But that just it"he whispered to the emptiness. "I don't know how to be happy." Kay was gone, and that lonliness that he hadn't felt in months, was creeping back over him. Pulling him in, drowning him.
