Why You Married Me I

--

"So I was thinking that maybe we should tell our families"Kay sat beside Fox on the couch one week later.

"My family already knows"he said as he countinued to look over some files Julian had sent over. He had been ignoring Kay for hours trying to get this done.

"Oh, well my family doesn't know. Especially since I haven't seen them lately. I broke off the shopping trip to stay with you and move back in." Kay looked at him.

"Yeah, vanilla ice cream is delicious"he nodded to show he was paying attention.

"Fox!" Kay cried out with annoyance. "You could at least stay on the same topic."

He rubbed his temple and sat the papers on the coffee table as Kay stormed off. He knew he should pay more attention to her but things had been rocky at Crane Industries lately and he just wanted to finish looking over things first. He didn't want it to be his fault that they lost money for no reason. "Kay!" he called out. "Kay come back here!"

He found her in the bathroom running water for a bath. "Whats up with you Kay?" he asked leaning casually aainst the sink.

"Nothing is up with me." She masked her face feeling secretly hurt. She just didn't want him to know that she'd stumbled across his little secret.

"Kay you have been mad at me for two days now. So please tell me whats wrong." He watched as she reached over to turn off the water.

"I told you nothing is wrong. I'm just tired is all."

"Maybe after I help to settle things at Crane Industries, I can take you on vacation. Our honeymoon actually." Fox came up from behind her and hugged her around the waist.

"Fox you told me after the wedding you would never lie to me again, right?"Kay leaned into him.

"Yeah"he wonedered where this was going.

"Fox I want to know why you married me. But what really got me, is who in the hell is Elizabeth Winsor?"Kay turned out of his embrace. She looked into his eyes. They had gotten really distant lately. She had seen Julian Crane's eyes once. They were dead looking. Fox's still held life, she was going to make sure that he still had a heart even if he pretended he didn't.

"Kay, I married you because I love."

She laughed at that. She actually laughed, and he looked stunned. "No, Fox. I love you, but you never loved me. Miguel. Simone. They were all right about you hurting me, so please don't pretend to love me. I just thought that if I accepted you for what you were, and married you, it would change you. But it didn't."

He jerked her by her wrist and slammed her against the wall. "Don't tell me how I feel inside Katherine. I have tried to not lose my patience with you. I love you, that is what i feel for you. Love." The name sounded foriegn coming from him.

She rolled her eyes thinking this was the second time he'd slammed her against a wall. "What do you know about love, Fox. You never had that."She smiled.

"I know enough, enough to know that with Theresa it was all about having something I couldn't get. But with you, your my wife. I married you because I love you."

She smiled again. "Your hurting me, Fox. Let go.You have that meeting you need to get to."

He leaned down, feeling her breathing speed up. It always did this when he was about to kiss her. She looked into his eyes. They hadn't even slept together yet which was uncommon since they were married. Life flickered in his eyes, and Kay noticed something behind that. Fear. It had always been there, it was just she could never find out what that was. His lips touched hers and the kiss began to grow deeper,then he pulled away from her.

"I have never loved anyone the way I love you. My father told me once that love did not truly exist. Up until now, I believed him. I'll see you when I get back in a while." He left her undressing, mad.

She began to scream after him. "I hate you!!!!! I utterly hate you for making me feel this way!!!!" Eventually she got into the still hot water and bathe.

Fox sat in the office meeting. julian was directly in fornt of him, Allistair was sitting at the head of the long table. And Alec Redman was in front of everyone showing the statistic for diamond mines in Africa. This had absolutely nothing ot do with his branch in the family buissness which was the magazine, the piers, or Crane Industries stationed in England. His cell phone began to vibrate and he excused himself to answer it figuring it was Kay calling to argue some more.

"Hello."

"Nick, this is Liz. I'm at the hospital."

Alarmed, "Whats wrong."

"Its the baby."

She watched the water drain out of the tub and she pulled on a black pair of stretch hip hugers, and black turtleneck zip up sweater, and beneath it a white tube top. She went into their bed room that they were now sharing and found the stationary with moon and stars for a back ground, she had planned on writing a letter.

She began to write and the words just flowed onto the paper.

Fox,

We have so many things in common, but I have found myself married to someone who I don't really know. I can't blame you for marrying me, because i'm the one that said yes when you asked me to marry you. Maybe that was my mistake. I have made so many mistakes in my past and i just think that this was suppose to be the answer to my problems. But of course it can't be. I want you to be the man I can love, and who'll love me back. When you fall asleep at night, i wonder are you dreaming about someone else.

Again we have so many things in common that its almost funny. We both loved trying to get things we wanted but couldn't have. Perhaps thats also a problem for me, thinking could get you to love me. I think that when I walk out this door tonight I'll be wondering when you'll get this. You can reach me on my cell phone, but this is something that needed to be said.

Fox I didn't even know you and I married you. That was another rash disicion I made that I should have thought through. Miguel, and Simone both pointed out to me that you'd end up hurting me. Although you haven't physically, its mentally. But i've hurt you to, by giving you a heart. I know you always thought you didn't have one. But you did and now your vunerable to love. Who knows maybe we'll go on that honeymoon, or maybe get an anulement or something. But we both played apart in finding each other. Just think that if it hadn't been for Miguel, Charity, Ethan, and Theresa we may never have found each other. I like to think that we can still be friends after this. I just hope that you get things settled with Elizabeth Winsor or whoever and we'll be able to talk. I know that when i walk out this door tonight I'll be wondering if you care. I'm sorry for loving you. Good night Fox.

Your wife, Kay

She folded the letter and put it on his pillow. She sat for ten minutes looking at it, deciding if she should go out and party with Simone, Charity, and Miguel. She grabbbed the letter and through it in the trash on her way out of the house. She was going to drive her new wedding present, a purplish black looking Benz.
