Ch. 4

Kris sat at her desk one morning, a book opened in front of her. She stared down at it, like it was going to move, but her mind wasn't on what she was doing. Kris was thinking about that phone call she had yesterday. It had been at least 2 weeks since Markie knew he was a uncle. Jesse had spent the night with his uncle Markie last night. Kurt and Karma were working on wedding plans and Kris was dealing with Jesse's biological father. He some how found about Jesse and wanted to know him and marry Kris. The truth was that Scott Andrews, Jesse's biological father, wasn't nice at all. He was mean and a crook.

The doorbell rang, snapping Kris's attention back to reality. When she looked up she expected to see Markie or Kurt, but she saw Nolo.

"Nolo"
"Hey, I was wondering if I could take you out for lunch, in less you have other plans"
"No"
"I heard Jesse was with Markie, so it would just be us two"
"Sure, I need a break any ways"

"Cool come on"

Kris grabbed her stuff and headed out the door.

When they got to the cafe, Nolo and Kris took a seat. They started to catch up with one another. About what they had been up to lately. How the races were going? Nolo still like Kris, just wasn't up to telling her so, Kris was the same way with him. They were scared to tread on each other's ground. Soon Kris's cell phone rang,

"Hello" Kris answered

"Hey Kris, Where are you" Markie answered

"Markie, oh man, I'm at the cafe with Nolo, I will be there soon"

"Nahhhh, nevermind, Jesse and I will go to lunch and I will bring him home later tonight, that alright"
"Sure, I will see you then"

And with that they hung up, Kris turned back to Nolo and he asked, "Everything alright"
"Everything fine, Markie is going to take Jesse out to lunch and then bring him home"
"Oh, do you need to get back to the shop"
"Yeah, I better get back"

As they walked down the street, Nolo slipped his hand into hers. Coming up onto the bookstore, Kris asked, "Nolo"
"mmmm"
"how about you joining me for dinner tonight"

"Sure"
"Be at my house around 7pm"
"Yeah, I will see you then" and then left.

Markie had called again and asked Kris if she would mind Jesse staying with him again. Kris had gratifilly said yes, and had talked to Karma and Kurt, they were going fine with wedding plans. Kris was making supper when the phone rang, she answered,

"Hey Kris"
"Scott" Kris said

"How are you sweety"
"Don't call me that"
"Oh, come on...you have something I want"
"You will never see him"
"You want to bet" and with that they hung up. Kris put the phone down, when the doorbell rang she nearly jumped out of her skin. Nolo was there, she answered the door, but Nolo knew something was up. As he entered the house,

"Kris"
"Mmmmm"
"Something wrong"
"No"
"Kris I know you better than that, what is it"
Kris sighed and looked at him, tears in her eyes as she began the store...
