Chapter 8: Lose it all

Tommy woke up alone on his bed; a sweet and very familiar smell filled his room. He found a note on the other side of the bed.

I had to go, breakfast with my mother, remember? I needed a shower and clothes, I didn't want to wake you, anyway. Last night was… I shouldn't write you how I feel, we need to talk about it, and so you can come by my place any time in the afternoon.

Love

Kimberly

Tommy couldn't stop grinning; he was a little drunk last night but all the memories were clear on his mind. They got to his home, Kim decided to go with him and make sure he was ok, though he wasn't that drunk, and they both knew it. They sat on his couch for a moment but then their eyes met, they stayed a few seconds just looking each other before they started kissing, he can't remember who started the kiss, but he is sure both wanted it, they made their way to his bedroom, putting out their clothes in the curse. They made love for the second time; the first time was the last Christmas they spent together, after they heard the Backstreet Boys CD. That was a magical moment, just like last night.

Tommy stood up from his bed, he went to the bathroom, he knows he needs to get a shower but he's scared to take her smell out of his skin. He can't believe it. He and Kimberly together again, well they still have to talk about it but by her note she doesn't seem to reject anything, it's clear for him it wasn't just one night sex and he knows she feels that way too Why would she leave him a note if she doesn't? But what if she rejects it, he is sure he doesn't, he loved every single moment with her, the conversation with Jason last night helped him realized how much he loves Kim, he was fooling himself if he thought he got over her, she is part of his heart. And now is their time, their time to be together again, the way is meant to be. Tommy heard his doorbell; he put his boxer and pants on and gets the door. He was smiling thinking it could be Kim, but his smile faded when he realize who was at his door.

--------

Kim run to get the door "Tommy, I was waiting for you," She smiled him, letting him in.

Tommy walked into the apartment "Kim, we need to talk". He said with his back to her.

She closed the door "I know about last night, Tommy! I think..."

He shook his head, turned to face her "No Kim, we need to talk about other thing,"

"What's wrong?" she asked concerned, He took her hand and leaded her to the couch.

"Gina came by the apartment this morning," He said.

"Oh!" Kim gasped "So, What did she want?"

He looked her, direct to her eyes "She is pregnant"

"What?"

"She is pregnant, with my baby"

"Oh my god!" Kim took a moment to let the information sink in her mind "What are you going to do? Are you going to marry her?"

"She said she wants to start a family with me, but she has one condition."

"What's that?"

Tommy took a deep breath before talk "She doesn't want me close to you."

"What?"

"She said we have to break our friendship, she doesn't want me to see you anymore," Tommy explained.

"And what did you tell her?" Kim asked knowing the answer.

Tommy took her hand "I can't marry her, if she doesn't let me see my baby I'm going to fight it, take her to court I don't know, I will take my responsibility but I'm not going to marry with her, I can't marry her when I'm in love with you"

"Tommy, I know how much you want a family" since they re-built their friendship Tommy has been talking about how much he wants to have a family someday, the fact to be adopted always was hard for him even when he loves his parents, he always felt it wasn't his place, that's why he wish to have his own family someday.

"But I can't live a lie. I don't love her I love you. After last night, what happened with us last night was..."

"A mistake" she let go his hand.

He shook his head "No, You don't believe that"

She stood up and walked to the window "Yes, it was a drunken mistake. That's what I wanted to tell you. It was a mistake and I rejected it"

"No," He stood up and reached for her "No, you know it was special, it was real, it was love, I felt it and I'm sure you felt it too"

She took a deep breath and turned to him "Tommy, You should be with Gina,"

"Kim, I wasn't expecting this now." He tried to hold her hand again.

"I am not in with love you" She said.

"What?" Tommy gasped, taking a step back, trying to keep his balance.

"Tommy I'm sorry, I'm in love with someone else"

'She is lying' He thought but what if it is the truth, 'No it can't be not after last night.' "What?...Who?" Tommy asked, his voice shaking,

"Jason"

"But you said last night... and we were together last night,"

"I'm sorry Tommy I realized after last night that I'm in love with Jason but I needed that goodbye, close that chapter between us to start a new one in my life" She turned to face him "I'm sorry Tommy but it was a mistake, now go with your family, go with your future Gina, the mother of your child"

"Kim?"

"Just Go," she yelled him, he looked her one last time, tears in his face, he leaded to the door and left. Kim buried her face in her hands to cry.

Flashback

Kim cupped his face and kissed him softly "Tommy, I really love you"

"Where that came from?" He asked.

She laughed "I thought about ways you could react but Where that came from? Wasn't exactly what I had on mind."

Tommy shook his head "I meant, why did you say you love me in that moment?"

"It just, the song made me realize when you really love someone you would do anything for that person, and I just... I would do anything for you and I had to tell you" He smiled her

"I love you too, beautiful"

End of Flashback

--------

Tommy hasn't seen Kim at work; she's been calling sick or sending a replacement for the last month. He didn't want to end it like that. He wanted to talk to her but he didn't even know what to say; how to act. Now he heard her replacement talking with other person, she said Kimberly quitted from her job. Tommy took the decision to go and talk to her no matter what.

He arrived to her apartment, the door was open, the living room filled with boxes.

"What did you break this time?" Kim came yelling from her room. She stood surprised when she saw it was Tommy.

"Hi!"

Kim shook her head "Hi! I'm sorry, I thought you were one of the moving companies,"

"Are you moving?" He asked moving close to her.

"Yeah,"

"Where?" He asked.

"To Orlando, I'm going to be co-owner with Jason in The Karate Center, it will have gymnastic too,"

"Oh!" Tommy gasped.

Kim signed "What are you doing here? I thought we couldn't see each other anymore,"

"Kim, about that..."

"We already talk about that, now it won't be a problem at work or anything. Your wife can be sure that we won't see each other."

"Kim!" He tried to take her hand

"Tommy, what are you really doing here?"

"I needed to see you,"

"Well, you already saw me so, I still have some packing to do so..."

"Ok"

"Bye," He signed and walked to the door.

"Bye,"

He turned in the door "Kim?"

"Yeah"

"There is a spark in your eyes, I don't know what it is but it makes you look more beautiful." He said before leaves, letting Kim in her couch crying.
