Hey guys, sorry my chapters have been pretty short so far. They're going to get longer soon, I promise. And the romance is about to start, within the next few chapters I think, but it's not going to be what it seems.
They all got into another limo that would take them to the hotel and casino Sonny owned. Kristina was happy to be finally getting there and getting some peace and quiet.
When Kristina got into her rooms, her things were already there waiting for her. She started to unpack and was almost done when there was a knock at the door.
"Come in," she called.
Sonny entered then and told Kristina he wanted to make sure her room was all set. Kristina was about to make sure her room was all set. Kristina was about to tell him that it was fine when his cell phone rang, Sonny picked it up, listened for a few minutes, and then said, "I'll be there soon," before hanging up.
"Daddy, what happened?" Kristina asked, worried.
"Nothing," Sonny replied, but Kristina knew the look on his face. She'd been seeing that same look she'd been seeing for the past fifteen years. It was the look Sonny wore when big trouble could be on the way.
"Daddy, what happened?" Kristina insisted.
"Princess, I can't tell you anything right now. I have to go. Tell everyone I had to leave, okay sweetheart? I love you." He kissed her on the forehead.
"I love you, too, daddy," she whispered to the shut door.
Kristina was worried about her father, once again. She hated the fact that his business put them at risk again, and that his business was calling him away from his family once again.
She was stressed out and needed a break. She heard Carly and Thalia arguing about Thalia's bathing suit in the next room, and she knew Michael and Morgan were playing a video game. "I could slip away really easily," Kristina thought. One look at the pool outside the window and her mind was made up. She took all her sunbathing necessities and put them into her beach bag. She put on her favorite black and white two piece bathing suit, and after leaving a message for her family at the front desk, she was gone.
Kristina stepped through the gate of the hotel pool. She felt so relieved to be there again. Besides being on the beach, the pool was the place she felt most relaxed. A pool boy brought Kristina a chair and asked, "Is there anything else you need, Miss Corinthos?"
She smiled and said, "I'll have an iced tea with some lemon, please. Thank you."
"No problem, Miss Corinthos."
Kristina breathed a sigh of relief as she sat on her chair. She went through her normal sun-time routine, sunscreen, hair protecting gel, and the newest issue of Teen People magazine. She looked around the pool before settling down. Everything seemed to be the same. She scanned the pool once more, and something caught her eye. Or someone, more like. "Damn, he's fine," Kristina thought. From over her magazine she took in every detail of him. His normal length hair was jet black, even darker than hers, which she rarely saw. His eyes were blue, and they stood out vividly, even from across the pool, and he was built, a plus for Kristina, who was pretty picky when it came to men. She wondered what he was like.
"Jamie, Jamie!" she heard a little girl cry out. Kristina looked up and saw the blonde girl running towards him. She slipped as she ran by Kristina's beach chair, and started crying. Kristina stood up and looked to see if she was badly hurt, but everything seemed to be all right.
"Are you okay?" Kristina asked as the dark-haired wonderful stepped up to see what had happened.
"Are you all right, Ria?" he said, concerned.
The little girl nodded and continued crying. Kristina had fallen by the pool while running many times when she was younger, and knew how the girl felt. "That looks like it really hurts," she said. "I fell right there once when I was little. One time, I fell in the pool," she added, hoping to make her laugh.
It worked, and the girl said, "That's funny."
"You know what? I bet a lollipop would help you feel better. I've got one in my bag. Would you like one?" Kristina asked. She looked up at the boy and added, "Is it all right if she has one?"
He nodded and said, "Yeah, that's fine."
Kristina handed her a lollipop saying, "My name's Kristina. What's yours?"
"Kamaria," she replied and then said, " Kristina, that's a K name like mine."
"That's right. You have a very pretty name."
Kristina looked up at the dark- haired wonderful, who had been quiet the whole time. "Hi, I'm Jamie. Thanks for looking after her," he finally said when he noticed Kristina looking at him.
"Kristina," she told him. "It's no problem. So is she your sister?"
"No, this is my daughter," he answered.
Ha ha, big twister there. Wait and see what's going to happen with this. Please review if you liked it, and even if you didn't.
