Chapter Four

Kimberly placed her had over her heart. It was pounding so hard. Kim was now leaning up against her door. She was out of breath.

She pushed herself off the door and headed toward her bedroom. She had forgotten all about her flight to California until she entered her room and saw her three, already packed, suitcases.

Kim sighed and went to shower. She was glad she was getting out of there.

Aftere a long shower and alot of thought, Kim decided to pack up some more of her things in extra boxes. She didn't want to live in Florida if that creep was going to be there too.

She knew she had a place to stay. Aisha would allow her to stay and so would have Trini and Jason, but they weren't really options at the moment. Aisha and Rocky were trying to rebuild the romance in their marriage, Trini and Zack's baby was due in December, and Jason and Kat would soon be newlyweds. The last thing any couple needed was her around in their space.

The only person left was Tommy or she would have to stay in a motel until she found an available apartment.

Kim called Diana after she dressed.

"Hey, Kim." Diana said.

"Hey, Dee."

"So, what's up?"

"I need a huge favor."

"Kim, I'm already driving you to the airport. What else do you need?" Diana laughed at her.

"For you to pack up my things and send them to Reefside, California."

"What? Why?"

"Just listen."

Kim told her everything that has been going on with the whole Michael situation.

"That son of a bitch." Diana exclaimed once Kim had finished. "You got it girl. I will send you your stuff. I'm going to miss you."

"I'm going to miss you too. You know you could always come and visit."

"Of course I am. I have to meet this Tommy Oliver and everyone else."

"Yeah, you will." Kim laughed.

"Now get off this line and call your man and tell him you're coming to stay." Dianaa ordered.

Kim laughed and they said goodbye. Leave it to Diana to make her feel better. She was there for her when she moved to Florida and she was there through all of Kim's breakups with Aisha and Trini on three-way and speaker.

Kim dialed Tommy's number and hoped he was home to accept the call. After a few more rings, he finally answered.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Handsom." kim said sweetly.

"Hey, Kim, what's up?"

"Nothing. I'm about to leave for the airport."

"Good. I haven't forgotten I'm the one who's supposed to pick you up from the airport."

"Yeah, about that." She said nervously. "I need to stay with you..."

"I know. I thought we already had this conversation."

"We did, but I mean long term."

"You mean, you want to move in?"

"Um.. Yeah."

There was a pregnant pause and Kim began to feel nervous.

"If it's too soon, I can always stay with Aisha and Rocky or a motel until I find my own place."

"No, it's ok."

He didn't sound too convincing.

"Um...ok. Um... we can talk about this more when you pick me up."

"Yea, sure."

They said their farewells and hung up.
