Chapter 10

2 days later

9 am

Kimberly woke up to feel the bed empty. She groaned and opened the the covers. Tommy was drinking some coffee as Kim walked in. They kissed. It was Wednesday morning, October 23rd. Kimberly laid on his back.

"You feel okay?" She nodded.

"I don't like waking up without you." He rubbed her head.

"I'll make some eggs for you."

"Thank you." They kissed. Tommy nodded. "Who else is up?"

"Uh, Aisha and Jason headed out with Katherine and Tanya to get some bagels and coffee since we were out and do some grocery shopping as well. Adam and Tracy went skiing early. Rocky is still in bed." She nodded. Tommy broke the last eggs. Kimberly opened the paper to the life section. She got grabbed a few grapes. Tommy place the plate in front of her. She gave him a kiss and grabbed a piece of toast. Tommy took the paper.

"Hey!" He smiled. They went and showered.Tommy was looking for some socks as Kim slid on her blue jumpsuit after putting on all her rainbow gear. They went skiing alone.

Tyler found them at the bottom of the slopes

"Hey."

"Hey!"

"There's this party going on at the barn. Lots of people, you should come."

"Uh, sure. Sounds like fun."

"Great. I'll see you all there." Kim nodded. "Oh, don't dress too much, the barn will be soo hot, trust me." Kim smiled. Tyler waved to them as they walked away.

"We are not going."

"What?"

"Come on, he's totally into you."

"So, I'm not into him and that's what matters."

"No that's not all that matters. I don't want to spend my evening, fighting boys off my girlfriend."

"Well, maybe you shouldn't worry so much. Your girlfriend can handle herself." They went back to the slope lodge. Aisha was just talking to Tyler.

"Party tonight."

"I know. Tommy doesn't want to go?"

"Why not?"

"He doesn't want Tyler hitting on me."

"He's soo not into you."

"I know. Tell loghead."

"He doesn't want Kim. He knows, he sees that you are her boyfriend and he knows Kim loves you."

"Whatever."

7pm

Kimberly found herself looking for something to wear in her terry robe after showering. Tommy was ironing shirt in a towel. Kimberly pulled out a dress which caused Tommy to say no flat.

"What?"

"It's cold out there!"

"It's not that short!"

"Put it away."

"Yes, Daddy." Kim folded it back. Kimberly pulled out another dress. Tommy shook his head. She smiled.

"Fine, Beautiful, don't ask me to hold you when you are freezing."

"Maybe Tyler can warm me up."

"Watch it." She smiled and kissed his cheek. Kimberly went into the bathroom with her dress and other things. Tommy came into the bathroom and found Kimberly standing in a green/black skirted v-string with cherry applique and black sheer stockings applying lipgloss. Tommy held her by the waist. "You are wearing it."

"Well, you did ask me to buy it and show it off."

"I told you only for me."

"Well, who else is gonna see it, but you." She turned in his arms. Kimberly wrapped her arms around his neck. "I also have it in white/pink and all black." Tommy groaned and kissed her. Aisha looked around for the couple. She went to the bathroom and found them kissing. Kim's bare back to her. Tommy looked up and saw her. He closed the door.

"I really like black or yellow car!" Kimberly pulled away. They both laughed. Kimberly put on her black halter dress. Tommy put on a black shirt, khakis and boots. Kimberly slid on her black platform boots with help from Tommy. He loved her legs and feet, though she sometimes couldn't think of why. Tommy just loved every aspect of her body. It didn't take him longto learn every curve, every freckle, every inch of her body. Everyone was ready by 9pm. Kimberly put on her light blue foxy fur pom pom coat.

The barn was getting packed at the group arrived. Tyler saw them come on. He waved for them. They went over to him.

"This is my favorite student, here." He held his hand out for Kimberly. She took it. "Kim, meet, Brian, Teri, Derek, Mike, Sara, and Sean."

"Hi." Tyler helped her from her coat. "These are my best friends, Aisha, Jase, Adam, Rocky, Tommy, Tanya, Tracy, and Katherine." They all shook hands.

"So, when did you all get here?"

"Late Friday night."

"Cool."

"Let's get some drinks going," Derek said clapping. Tommy elected to be DD, designated driver with Katherine. Kimberly danced with Tommy. Tyler was able to pull her away to dance. They got on a stage area. Tommy stood there watching them. Katherine smiled. She tried to get Tommy to dance with her, but he always said no.

"If you stare any harder, you might burn a hole in them."

"I don't need to hear that, Katherine."'

"I told you."

"Don't go there!" Tommy walked away. Kimberly pulled Aisha on stage with her.

"Dance with him," she whispered in her ear. "Please!" Aisha nodded. Kimberly slipped down. She got something to drink.

"Having fun?" Katherine asked.

"Yep. You?"

"Yea."

"What's that smile about?"

"Nothing." Katherine walked away. A boy asked her to dance. She did. Kimberly took another the cup and went to find Tommy.

"There you are! I was looking for you! Want to dance?"Kim yelled over the loud music.

"Ask loverboy!" Tommy was leaning up against the wall. His arms folded across his chest.

"Not that again."

"You were practically fucking him on stage!"

"I..we were dancing. We dance like that all the time."

"Exactly, but we are dating, not you and him."

"I dance like that with Rocky or Jason and you say nothing!"

"They don't want you!"

"Wow, thanks."

"You want them to want you?"

"NO! I just mean, you are making a big thing out of nothing!"

"If I was dancing like that with another girl, let's say Katherine, you wouldn't care?"

"NO! I know you love me, dancing is just that, dancing!"

"Well, here comes loverboy." Tyler walked over.

"Hey, want to dance again?"

"Uh, in a minute." Tyler nodded and walked a little away. "Don't call him loverboy, okay. He's a good guy."

"Fine, go to your good guy."

"You're such an ass!" Kim walked away. Tyler followed her. A person passing by with a tray of jello shots. Tommy took two and crushed the cups. Kimberly found herself sandwiched between Tyler and Sean. She didn't want to be, but somehow was. Tommy angrily, came over and shoved them off her. The boys started shoving each other. Kimberly got behind them to stop a potential fight. "Stop it!" Tommy was shoved back by Kimberly. "Walk away!" She pointed away. Tyler right behind her cursing at Tommy.

"I'm leaving, either you come now or stay."

"I'm not leaving and neither are you!"

"Like hell I'm staying." Tommy stormed out. Kim turned to Tyler.

"I'm sorry." She ran after Tommy. "What the hell is your problem?"

"My problem!"

"Yes, god, we were dancing and you blow up! I don't understand you!"

"You were practically flirting and teasing with any thing with a dick!"

"Oh, right. Okay. I don't know why you are in this funky mood, but Tyler is not a threat to you. I don't even like him. I love you."

"I don't care. I just don't care." Tommy got into the car.

"Don't you drive away." Tommy started the car. "Tommy, I'm begging you to stay." Tommy put the car in drive. "You can't just walk away when we have a fight!" Kim hit the car as he pulled away. Kim wiped her eyes and went back inside.

"Where's Tommy?" Jason asked.

"Don't fucking ask!" Kim stormed away. She went to get warm.

"He'll cool off and come back," Aisha said pulled Kim to dance after she took 2 shots. Aisha took the third shot away. "Calm down."

"Please give me my damn jello."

"As long as you promise this is you last one."

"Fine!" Aisha handed it back to her. "Can we go dance?"

"Sure." Kim wiped her eyes. They went and danced.

Teaser: "Tommy!" She slowly opened the car door. He was hunched over the wheel. The tree started to crackle and pop. "Tommy!"
"Kim, go slow!" Jason yelled. "Try and wake him!" Kimberly pulled the door all the way and touched Tommy. "Tommy, baby, wake up." She couldn't get him awake, so she slowly got in the car to get his seatbelt off. As she released the belt, the tree popped more causing the car to fall a little more out. Kim screamed.
