Chapter 10
John was barely steady on his own two feet by the time the night ended. He'd gotten so wasted...his vision was blurry and wasn't exactly sure who brought him back to the hotel...at that point he didn't care...
Kira walked John to his room and steadied him against the wall and dug in his pants for his key card. She pulled it out and got the door open...John said, "Can I tell you something?" Kira said, "Sure." John started talking jibberish...pretty much fluent drunkenise, and couldn't remember her name to save his life.
Kira just stared at John...he didn't recognize her...damn he was drunker then shit. As soon as the hotel door closed and Kira got John walked into the bedroom, she laid him down...he looked up and suddenly recognized her...and said, "Stay with me tonight Kira...Please...I don't want to wake up alone in the morning." Kira bit her bottom lip and just nodded as she turned the lights off...She went back and laid next to him on top of the covers both still dressed.
John was running his fingers through her hair...She looked up at him and he leaned down and kissed her...She could taste the beer and tequila on his tongue...but for some reason she couldn't stop kissing him...She could feel John's hands all over her body caressing her softly...
Well you know what happened...
They collapsed on the bed trying to regulate their breathing.
Kira slinked out of bed, when she heard John's labored breathing...She got dressed and ran like hell to her room...She laid in bed crying praying he didn't remember it...She couldn't do it...she couldn't admit her feelings to him.
The next morning was hangover city for every one involved at the club the night before...About 15 people standing in front of the hotel with sunglasses on...watching as John loaded up his bags in the back of the taxi...Everyone said they goodbyes...
Kira walked up and John said, "What happened last night?" Kira smiled and said, "You passed out and I had one of the boys bring you back...you light weight...I'm never drinking with you again...Can't even hold your own liquor."
John pulled her into a massive hug and he said, "I'll be back in 2 months for a break and some street fighting with the punk and his bitch...and to see you...Then two more months...and happy days, well back on the road together." Kira said, "Okay...Please try to keep in touch." John nodded and said, "As much as humanly possible." Kira smiled her big smile for him and they hugged again.
Kira watched as the taxi disappeared...He didn't remember...that's the way she wanted it...she wouldn't tell a soul what happened...She smiled as John looked back and waved...As every one headed out and moved on to the next town.
Kira wiped a few stray tears away and walked back into the hotel to collect what was the rest of her life and stopped by John's room...to pick up her heart.
