A hearts flutter

Confrontations

She angrily threw her keys down on the table

Kit couldn't believe the hide of Rhys Sutherland

After her and Noah had taken Beth back up to her room Kit had abruptly declared that she was going to go for a walk. Noah had shaken his head confusedly as he watched her rush out the door.

Less than fifteen minutes later she was seated at one of the tables at the diner.

Hayley who was the first one to see had rushed over to her.

"Kit"

Kit looked up and smiled politely. Silently wishing the blonde away. It wasn't that she didn't like the girl. But she couldn't be expected to be nice to the girl who had snagged her Noah.

Kit shook her head 'stop it' she scolded. 'His not your Noah anymore, he never really was in the first place'

Hayley was beaming "Did he tell you"? She held her hand out, showing off the gold diamond ring. Kit couldn't help but think how nice it looked on her.

Kit nodded "Yeah congratulations"

If it were even more possible her smiled widened. "Thanks, it was so sweet how he proposed, we were at the beach………."

"Just a coffee thanks Leah"

Kit looked up, her eyes widening.

She stood up. "Excuse me" she said to a still babbling Hayley.

She walked over to the man at the counter, tapping him a little too hard than necessary on his shoulder.

Rhys Sutherland turned around and faced her.

"Kit" he said surprised "I Didn't know you were in the bay"

She glared at him "Well I'm here visiting my distraught mother"

Rhys frowned "Right, how is Beth"?

Kit laughed shaking her head, she couldn't believe this. He cheated on her mother and now he was asking how she was

Rhys gave her a sympathetic look. "Kit if you want to talk"

She cut him off "Oh yeah I want to talk alright" Anger started to build up inside of her.

She started to circle around him, catching attention of all the other customers in the diner. Including one very interested Kane sitting at the very back table, he watched on closely, he hadn't forgotten the promise he'd made to Scott before he'd left.

"Maybe we should go somewhere more private "suggested Rhys

"Oh no this'll do fine" she answered still circling him "So wasn't my Mum good enough for you"?

"I care for Beth very much"

She stopped and stood once again in front of him, her face quickly turning redder

"I care for your mother" her repeated and then added more slowly, trying not to make the teen in front of him even more upset. "It's just my heart belongs with Shelley" it was obvious after he said it, that it wasn't the right thing to say

He placed his hand on her shoulder "Kit I'm sorry"

Kit balled her fists and shook it off.

"It's a little bit too late for that now, don't you think"

Kane who had now stood started to slowly approach, it was obvious to him that this was soon about to get out of hand, Kit was now shaking with rage.

Rhys grabbed the two coffees and placed the money on the counter.

"I have to go Kit, but if you ever need anything"…………

SLAP!

At hearing the noise Alf rushed out "What on earth is going on here? "he demanded

She raised her hand again, but before she could strike, Kane rushed forward grabbed her by the arm firmly and dragged her outside.

He walked her all the way down to the beach when he finally let her go. Rhys was sure to be gone by now.

"What on earth did you do that for"? She yelled

He ran his fingers through his hair, not exactly sure how to answer this question.

Anyway he was pretty sure she wouldn't like the answer. "You need to calm down "he took her by the arm again, silently cursing himself for what he'd gotten himself into.

"Come on I'll walk you home"

Kit shook him off "I can walk myself home thanks, we'll talk about this later Phillips, I'm not done with you yet"

Kane shook his head. He was used to threats, and Even Kit Hunter's threats left him unfazed. He pulled out his mobile and dialed Scott's number.

"Hey Dani its Kane can I please talk to Scott"?

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Robbie watched his sister helplessly as she paced the kitchen. "Kit"?

She stopped halfway to the end mark, the fridge. "What"?

"Are you ok"? Kit rolled her eyes. She hated that question. It seemed that was always the first thing everyone asked her.

Robbie touched her arm carefully, not sure how'd she'd respond. "It's just when you walked in you were really pissed"

Wow his smart, she thought sarcastically.

"I mean you even scared Tash off"

She took notice of his concerned face and softened, no point in taking it out on him, she silently thought.

"Am I abnormal or something Rob? I mean don't I look ok?" She softly asked. Finding it harder and harder not to let out all the emotions that were quickly building up inside of her.

Robbie frowned. Something wasn't right with her. That's definitely not how Kit would usually respond. It was usually more along the lines of 'course I am dweeb'

Noah, who had only heard the last part as he had just entered the room, stopped and promptly looked her up and down.

"You look ok to me"

Robbie despite the situation couldn't help but grin.

Kit didn't seem to take any notice of the comment and resumed to her pacing.

Noah looked to Robbie who shrugged his shoulders.

"Kit?"

She held up her hand "I'm fine"

Noah nodded "Alright"

He paused

"I was just going to ask if you wanted to come for a walk".

Kit stopped and looked at him suspiciously "Why"?

"No reason"

Even though her mind was telling her no, Before Kit could stop herself she found herself answering yes. This was why she now found herself, outside on a night stroll along the beach with Noah.

'Your just making this harder and harder on yourself aren't ya kit' Said a little voice inside of her head.

"Shut up" she muttered

Noah looked up "Sorry"?

Kit shook her head as she walked along ahead "Nothing"

Finally getting sick of the silence Noah reached out and stopped her in her tracks.

"Ok "he sighed "What's going on"?
