It wasn't a dream. Kat thought as she woke up the next morning and realized that she wasn't at home in her own bed. She remembered the events of the past night that had led her to this moment.
First she and Tommy had danced and then he had followed her into the bedroom and kissed her. He had also revealed that he was starting to have feelings for her. Then we kissed again and somehow ended up in this bed.
Katherine wasn't sure who took off what but somehow their shirts, and her pants, and then his pants, all got thrown on the floor. Katherine knew deep down that she should have stopped it from happening, but she hadn't wanted to. For that one night, Tommy Oliver had been all hers.
"You're awake," Tommy voice said interrupting her thoughts. Kat looked up to see him standing in the door watching her.
"Good morning," she replied. "You look like you've been up awhile," she said noticing that he was dressed in his own clothing.
"A tow truck arrived this morning and they brought the truck here, luckily my uncle's things weren't ruined so I unpacked them," he explained. "You're clothes are dry too," he said walking over and handing them to her.
"Thanks," she said taking the clothes from him but being careful not to let the blankets slip from around her.
"I'll let you get changed," Tommy said with a grin at her shyness as he turned and left the room.
Minutes later Katherine emerged from the bedroom fully dressed. "I gather the truck came through the storm unscathed," Kat said.
"Yeah, just a couple of small dents and a scratch on the side, but it could have been worse," Tommy told her.
"That's good, I'll bet my parents are really worried about me," Kat said realizing she hadn't called them at all to tell them she was ok.
"Don't worry, I called them this morning and explained everything," Tommy told her.
"I hope not everything," Kat said with a smile.
"I was wondering when you were gonna bring that up," Tommy responded.
"I'm not really sure what to say," she followed.
"I don't regret last night," Tommy began.
"Neither do I," Kat admitted.
"The only question is what happens now," Tommy replied.
"Do we really have to figure all that out now?" Kat asked.
"No, I guess not, besides we should get back home," Tommy told her.
A few hours later, Tommy and Katherine arrived back in Angel Grove.
"So should I call you later?" Tommy asked.
"Um, sure," Kat replied as Tommy leaned over and gave her a kiss. "Tommy, what if someone sees?"
"There's no one around, besides I don't care who sees, they're all going to find out soon enough," he told her.
"No, we can't tell anyone about us," Kat replied.
"So you want to pretend that last night didn't happen?" Tommy questioned.
"It's not that I want to, I just think we should, at least until we figure out how to explain things to Kimberly," she explained.
"Oh Kim, I almost forgot, she's going to be crushed," Tommy said with a slight frown.
"I can't believe we let things go so far," Kat commented.
"I'm sorry that Kim's going to be hurt, but I still don't regret being with you," Tommy told her.
"Look we both need some time to sort things out and you need to get your uncle's truck back," Kat said as she opened the door.
"Yeah but I will call you later," he promised.
The next two weeks, Katherine and Tommy spent as much time together as they could. In the mornings, Katherine would attend her dance classes as Tommy spent time teaching is martial arts classes. Then they would meet in the woods at the place where their meetings had first begun. They also made sure that they hung out with their friends as much as possible so as to not make anyone suspicious.
"You're awfully quiet tonight," Kat remarked as she and Tommy sat under a tree.
"I was just wishing we didn't have to sneak around all the time," Tommy told her.
"You know I don't mind besides it was my idea," Kat reminded him.
"Well at least it'll all be over soon," Tommy replied.
"What do mean?" Kat asked.
"Kim comes home tomorrow," Tommy answered.
"These past two weeks have just flown by," Kat commented.
"I have to go pick her up at the airport, she called me last night and asked me if I would," Tommy explained.
"Tommy, you don't owe me any explanations, technically you're still her boyfriend," Kat replied.
"I know, I just don't know how I'm going to explain this all to her," Tommy said.
The next day, Tommy got up bright and early and drove to the airport to meet Kim. His stomach was tied up in knots as he walked in the terminal and scanned the crowd for any sign of her.
"Tommy, over here," she yelled as she ran to meet him and practically jumped in his arms.
"Welcome home," he said as they broke apart.
"I have the most exciting news," Kim said with a huge smile on her face.
"Let's hear it," Tommy said trying to sound excited.
"I've decided not to move to Florida."
