mj08: Hey little one and thanks for the review, you have no clue how much it means for you just to write down a few words of encouragement.
Now, on with the Story!
A Honeymoon in Italy"Can you tell me where we are going now, Tommy?" Kim asked, as they entered the airport, bags in tow. Tommy had been dodging the question for the past few weeks and now she was hoping that he would answer the question, as they quickly headed towards terminal ten and their flight out of here, to wherever he had them headed.
"You'll find out when we're on the plane," Tommy said, as she looked up at him, as if she was ready to start pouting, but then stopped at the smile he was giving her. She would love going to Italy, but the main thing he wanted to do the most was surprise her and in order to do that, he had to get her on the plane without her looking at the tickets, which were stowed away in his pants pocket. He knew that she would have to be feeling very brave to reach and get those tickets, in public and if she did that, he would let her find out about where they were going before he got her on the plane. He knew enough about himself to know he would be rendered defenseless if she did something so out of character. "I promise that you'll like it."
"Come on, please," Kim said as he shook his head no and she then sighed. He was determined that this be a surprise and she couldn't find a way to get him to tell her.
"Excuse me, will you put all of your metal belongings in this tray?" A man asked, as Tommy emptied his pockets and begrudgingly took his communicator off of his wrist, while Kim did the same thing. They then passed through the scanner without a problem and sent their baggage off to be put on the plane, with Tommy carrying their carry on bag over one shoulder and holding her hand with the other free arm.
He felt the cold silver of the communicator brushing up against his bare wrist and smiled as he thought back to the last time that she had worn one of those, when their friends brought them back together. It just seemed like everything was exactly how it was supposed to be, even down to the ranger bond they had felt between each other, which had come back, surprisingly, over the last few hours. That bond, however, could be broken as they powers came and went, but they did not plan to let their love have that problem arise.
"I've been waiting for this day for a long time," Tommy said, as Kim looked up at him, wondering which part of the day he had been looking forward to more, the wedding, or the honeymoon. He would have never come out and said that he had been craving having sex with her, but she wouldn't have either and it was best that they just kept it that way, as that was one subject that they rarely talked about without having to walk away and leave each other alone for a little while.
"So have I," Kim said, as they walked up the boarding ramp and onto the awaiting plane. She was concentrating on not letting the overwhelming sense of tiredness overtake her, as she had barely gotten a full nights sleep over the last week, but he seemed to have his thoughts drifting to other places.
Tommy looked down to see that his communicator was glowing a weird shade of the faintest pink he had ever seen and then looked over at Kim's, it had a dim shade of gray covering the surface of her stone as well. Hold it, did he just say that she had her own communicator? When had that happened? Maybe Alpha had just thought it best for both of them to have one, now that things were sure to get hectic, but he had to ask Alpha about all of this when they got back from their honeymoon, as it surely was odd for it to appear the way it did, not that he had fully comprehended it until now. It just seemed as if she was supposed to have one of those, no matter what was going on or if she actually had powers.
"Non-stop flight from Los Angeles to New York, New York to Venice, Italy," the pilot said over the speaker as Kim let out a gasp and then looked over at Tommy, as she saw the love in his eyes and the happiness in his heart for being able to get this reaction out of her.
How could he remember that was the one place in the world that she had always wanted to see? She had not mentioned that place since they were in high school and she had been willing to settle for just a nice little weekend on the coast, which was what she expected from him, until he told her how to pack, that threw her for a loop and made it even less obvious where they were going, as she had not been able to pull any particular place out of her mind.
"Surprise," Tommy whispered, as she gave him a happy hug that drew the attention of some of the other passengers on the plane. She was doing everything within her power to not squeal with joy, but she could not keep one delighted laugh from escaping her lips, as Tommy's arms returned the embrace, without a moment's hesitation.
"Tommy, I can't believe you remembered this," Kim said, letting go of him and looking at him, as she cupped his face in her hands. He could see the pure joy that was written across her face and was glad that he had dug up that old note at his parents' house a few months ago. Before then, he hadn't been sure what he was going to do, that was the main reason he went back to search through his old room. That was when he found the box of old letters between the two of them and after reading about fifteen, he found the one that mentioned her wanting to visit Venice sometime in her life and he just went with it, hoping she still felt the same about the place. "You must have paid attention more in high school than I thought."
"Kim, I always paid attention where you came in, you know that. I got in trouble so many times for that," Tommy said, as he settled in for the long flight to Italy. Within a few hours, Kim had snuggled up against him, falling into a heavy sleep, which gave him sometime to think about everything that had happened since school had started that year.
She had been so patient with him, through all of it. Finding the new rangers, getting his powers back, even the thing with Richard, and he couldn't have asked for any more out of her. The nights where he had come home bruised and battered, she stood there with the familiar ice pack and towel, to let him talk about the battles, the things that went wrong, and the improvements that could be made to the team and their equipment.
She had not gone out into battle as much as she would have liked to, due to the fact she was almost killed in one of the battles and after that, the only reason she battled was because she was there when a battle began. Tommy was not willing to let her go out there from home, unless she got powers, somehow and she had accepted that, after a few bad days, in which they fought over it. He just wanted her to be kept safe, even if they both knew that it might not be possible, no mattered how hard he tried to keep it that way.
She knew that he felt it would be his fault if something happened to her, after that night and after they had finally stopped the yelling and listened to what each other had to say. Zeltrax had managed to get her alone that night and knocked her out cold. Well, they hadn't seen Zeltrax since that battle, as Tommy had not showed any restraint in fighting him after he saw what he had done to Kim. To say that they had, had some rocky times was understandable, but they actually were getting along with this a lot better than could be expected, especially with Alpha helping them again.
"Would you like anything to drink, sir?" A flight attendant asked, as she noticed Tommy was still awake, although he did look content enough, with the pretty, little lady asleep on his chest.
She had noticed them when they first boarded the plane and they didn't seem like the typical honeymooners', but she had seen how wrong she was. It didn't matter that every flight attendant was more than willing to try to test his true feelings, she would not let that happen. The man was married and she knew that meant he was off limits and would possibly tell some of them that if they were brave enough to try to hit on him.
"No ma'am, thank you, though," Tommy whispered, as he felt Kim move and then she looked up at him for a sleepy second before, snuggling closer to him and going back to sleep. They may have lived in the same house for the last few months, but they both had been waiting until after their wedding to do some things and were happy with each other as they were. Tommy took a deep breath, taking in her scent, before settling his chin on top of her head and nodding off to sleep as well.
"We are now landing in Venice, Italy, please fasten your seat belts," the pilot said over the intercom, as Tommy shook himself out of his sleep and noticed Kim was looking up at him. She had obviously been awake for a few minutes and seemed to be enjoying the sight of watching him sleep.
"You enjoying yourself?" Tommy asked, sleepily as he felt Kim buckle him in, as he had made no move to do so yet.
"As long as I'm with you, I'm happy," Kim said, as she felt some anxiousness building up inside of her, knowing that they were really in Italy and that their honeymoon had officially started, even if he might have considered it starting the moment they got to the airport. "Where are we heading to first?"
"Where do you think, Kim?" Tommy asked, as she blushed and looked up at him, with a shy smile, one that was rarely displayed on her face. They had waited so long for this day, but it still seemed too good to be true, in some aspects. "Unless you have any other ideas in mind."
"No that sounds good," Kim said, as they felt the plane touch down and they looked out the window and then back at each other. This was sure going to be an interesting six days, as they wanted to get back to the states in time for Christmas with their families and a tiny vacation from the school year called hell. Neither had, had a year this bad in their teaching experience. It was not that the kids were bad; it was just that their administration was horrific and the fact that they had a ranger team working at their house didn't make it any better. "Do you happen to speak any Italian, Tommy?"
"No, but I don't think we'll need to, at least I hope we won't," Tommy said with a smile, as she laughed at the thought. They were now in another country, didn't know anyone and couldn't communicate with them, what more could they want? They had never been this alone, together, in their lives and they planned on enjoying every second of it.
"You know, if anyone else said that, I would be worried, but you don't worry me, for some reason," Kim said, as he knew that he could stop her worries with one look, but him being a few minutes late from work could worry her to no end.
After all the times he had been captured, she had gotten this innate sense of when trouble was brewing and often times would stop him from doing something, on her feelings about it. More than once he had been glad about it, as he would find out that there had been another attempt planned on his life or just some plan to lure her into another battle, to try and get him back.
"After everything, I would think you would worry more when I said something like that than when anyone else did. Sometimes things just don't go good," Tommy said, as they stood to head off the plane and down the terminal to the luggage claim and out of the airport, to their hotel.
"Sure, Tommy, let's just get our bags and get to the hotel, then we'll talk about whose worried," Kim said, as she saw Tommy gulp and couldn't help but shake her head. The poor boy was so worried about all of this, but she didn't care how everything else went that night, they were married now and that was all that mattered to her. "Hey, what happened to that old leader spirit?"
"It got married," Tommy said, as Kim stifled back a laugh for a few seconds before she couldn't hold it back anymore and Tommy couldn't help but smile at her happiness, as he picked up their bags and headed towards the front doors.
"I didn't know that I could diminish it that quickly," Kim said, as he couldn't help but laugh about all of it. Even their 'fearless' leader had something to fear, although he couldn't tell many of them that without them looking at him as if he had lost his mind. Him fearing Kim just seemed absurd to all of them. "Ha, I finally got you to laugh!"
"Come on, let's go," Tommy said, as she tried to take a bag from him, but he held on firmly to the handle and continued towards the doors. They soon arrived at the little hotel, which had a total of ten rooms, although those rooms took up a whole floor. Tommy wanted them to feel like it was their home away from home for a week, even if it was a tiny bit pricier than expected.
"My dear goodness," Kim said, as she looked around the room, automatically noticing the bathroom and the bedroom. Tommy had taken a great deal of care to get a place that she would enjoy, as she looked around at the pale-honey colored walls and the fabrics on the bed. She turned around to look at him and saw that he was enjoying watching her reaction to the place he had picked for them. "You shouldn't have done this Tommy, it's just too much."
"Nothing is too much for you. You should know that by now," Tommy said, giving her a kiss, after dropping the bags on the floor.
He felt his mind being swept away by the emotions that were running through him, as he knew how many times before he had stopped himself from taking things too far, out of respect for what she wanted to do with her life. As he walked them over to the bed, he felt her pulling at his clothes and he released her from the kiss and looked down at her. He was more nervous about how she would react than anything else he could ever remember, as his nervous jitters of before the wedding were furthest from his mind right then.
"Tommy, you have nothing to worry about," Kim whispered, as she could tell from the look in his eyes what he was thinking. She did not want to bring out the fact that she was the one that really had the right to be nervous, as he had done a striptease for her, his first night back from that island, although she wasn't even sure he remembered that now. He merely shook his head and then took her to bed.
Day Two"Are we going to get out of bed today?" Tommy asked, as Kim looked over at him and shrugged. He gave her a happy smile, as he brushed one of his hands over her face before, feeling her settle her head on his shoulder. She wasn't sure what she wanted to do, but if he wanted to stay in bed, she was fine with that, although she did want some breakfast. Her stomach definitely did not like this time change.
"Whatever you want, I'm content to do nothing today, as long as I can get something to eat," Kim said, as Tommy laughed and picked her up off his shoulder as gently as possible. So he could get out of the bed and pad towards the bathroom, to shave and wash up. Kim soon was following him, although she had found a robe to put on, for the time being.
"How come you were able to find one of those?" Tommy asked, as he looked at her in a robe. He had yet to put on any clothing and he did not see any towels that where bigger than a dishrag lying out in the open. What did these people expect them to dry off with, when they took a shower?
"I brought this, Tommy, I just figured that we weren't going to dress for awhile some days," Kim said, as he became slightly embarrassed. He still was not completely comfortable in front of her like this, but she sensed that and quickly held out another robe, she had hidden behind her back. She knew how forgetful he was, so she had decided to buy him one and bring it, just in case he reacted like he was right now.
"Thanks," Tommy said, although he did not stop shaving to put the garment on. What would be the harm in a few more minutes like this, before he put on some clothes? Kim didn't seem uncomfortable, that was all that mattered, as his own discomfort was beginning to diminish. "Now, what do you want to do today?"
"Find some little place to eat and then go see some of the sights," Kim said, as Tommy washed off his face and splashed on a little after shave. She inhaled the scent and felt herself get lost in it for a few seconds, before he gave her a kiss on the cheek, which brought her back into reality. He had slipped on the dark green robe and was walking back towards their room, to find some clothes and a map he had stashed in there, somewhere.
"Take your time, we've got all day," Tommy said, as he had the feeling she would want to take a shower or a bath this morning, as she had not taken off her make-up last night. He was fine, but he was sure he could find something to do until she was done with everything she had to do.
"Crap," Kim said, as she saw blood smeared on her thighs and then headed back out to grab some tampons. It was not supposed to be her time of month, but some times things got out of whack for her. She had just been hoping this wasn't going to be one of those weeks.
"You can't be done," Tommy said, as he had donned his glasses and was reading a book in the recliner. Kim looked positively pissed, but what could happen to make her attitude change so quickly? She had decided to lose the robe and was now digging around in her suitcase, for something.
"No, it's just that time of month," Kim said, as Tommy looked sympathetically over at her, but then he thought of something. If they had both been virgins, couldn't it just be blood from last night and not her period?
"Are you sure about that?" Tommy asked, as she walked back towards him, having found a box of tampons and was now clutching them in her grasps. "I mean, couldn't it be caused by something else?"
"Like what Tommy?" Kim asked, wondering if he was going to go 'nutty professor' on her, for once in their relationship.
"Us," Tommy said, simply, as he could tell that was the first time she had thought about it like that and she then tossed the box of feminine products back towards her open suitcase, but they happened to land in his instead, but it didn't matter. She would fix it in a little while. "Well, I take that as a yes."
"Shut up, Tommy," Kim said, as she closed the bathroom door and he smiled at all of it. He couldn't help but think that if their friends had not been so insistent on them talking, a few years ago, he wouldn't be here right now, enjoying everything that he was. After a little while, she emerged from the bathroom, her hair hanging on her shoulders, which caused Tommy to stare at her. Sure he had seen her like this before school some mornings, but he had never gotten the overwhelming feeling of desire that ran through him now. "Whoa, tiger, what's gotten into you?"
"You have," Tommy said, giving her a kiss on the cheek and then began working his way towards her mouth. God, they may never leave this hotel room, if they didn't stop soon, but neither seemed to want to stop. "What's with the new nickname?"
"I don't know," Kim said, as he had brought out the one odd thing she had said. "I know it's been a long time since you've been a tiger, but you sure have been acting like it."
"Funny you should bring that up now," Tommy said, as he reached down to grab her wrist and pulled it up in between their faces. She looked at it in shock, having not truly noticed the communicator that she had been wearing, although she had noticed Tommy had gotten his back. "You haven't worn one of these in quite awhile either."
"We'll just have to wait to talk to Alpha about it Tommy," Kim said, as she leaned forward to kiss him and she carefully reached for the tie of his robe. "I think that we're going to be staying in today, don't you?"
"Maybe," Tommy said, with a hint of playfulness in his eyes as he picked her up and spun her around before deciding whether they wanted to go to bed at the time. "I'm glad that we will be able to enjoy this."
"So am I, Tommy. So am I," Kim said, before hastily pulling him towards the bed.
AN: I know that this is a very short chapter for this story, but I did not want to go into graphic details, I see no need in that. Also, I know that the flight attendant description was stereotypical and I mean no insult to anyone in that profession. I am sure that there are many people who are fully qualified in that area, but I felt I needed to bring in something like that. I hope that you have enjoyed it and feel free to review, either way. Until next time, happy reading!
