Ring...Ring

When Kyle's cell phone started to ring he and Lily pulled apart and sat up on the floor. They stared at each other for a few moments before Kyle started to search his pockets for his phone.

"Hello" Kyle said when he finally found it.

"Kyle?"

"Aunt Max?" Kyle said a bit confused.

"How are you?" Maxine asked.

"Fine..." Kyle said unsurely he knew that tone in Maxine's voice, it meant that she wanted him to do something, "How did you know that I was back from the hospital?"

"Well I didn't and that's why I called" she told him, "I tried your calling your apartment first but there was no answer so then I tried your cell"

"Oh, I'm staying with Lily for a few days; it was the only way that she would let me leave the hospital"

"Well since you are out why don't you and Lily come over for Amy's surprise birthday party tomorrow"

"Uhh... sure" Kyle said.

"Great come by around four" Maxine said as she hung up the phone.

"Who was that?" Lily asked and stood up.

"That was my aunt" Kyle said as he stuffed his phone back into his coat pocket.

"How'd she know that you were out of the hospital?" Lily asked.

"She said that, that was why she had called, and now she wants us to come over tomorrow for Amy's birthday party" he told her as he eased his way up off of the floor and on to the couch.

"Is that a bad thing?" Lily asked.

"It might turn out to be" he told her.

"And why's that?" she asked walking out of the room and into another.

"You've never seen my whole family together before, there is so many things that can go wrong" he said as he followed her into the other room.

"This is the guest room" Lily told him as she turned on the light, "you'll be sleeping in here and the TV gets cable but if I get the bill at the end of the month and its chocked full of porn charges I will hunt you down"

"Hey you know me better than to do that" Kyle said offended as he walked over and sat down on the bed.

"Oh please, you're a man all men do stuff like that" Lily sad while she sat down next to him.

"Not all men" Kyle said with a yawn as he lay down putting his head in Lily's lap.

He was exhausted, and his side throbbed from falling. Now he knew first had why you're not supposed to do anything strenuous after getting shot. Kyle caught up in his thoughts didn't notice himself close his eyes and drift off to sleep.

Lily just watched Kyle sleep and she couldn't stop herself from running her hand through his hair and thinking that she actually might not regret having Kyle stay with her for a while.
