Chapter XII-I Will Always Love You, No One Else
Junior stormed out and Kris couldn't blame him. I knew I should have called him. There was nothing she could do about it now. She went home and talked to the Ritters about the whole father thing. They took it well; they were happy for Kris. They told her what a great man Pablo was and Matt said, "So that's where you get your horse instincts from; you're too good for it to just be luck." That made Kris smile. Matt always seemed to make her smile. However the smile faded a lot quicker than normal. Junior was the only one on her mind. Where could he be? She called his phone when she got home. She actually called more than once. He never answered.
Kris went to his apartment; she decided it was the right thing to do. He wasn't home but she invited herself in anyway. She was afraid if he came home and saw her standing in the hall he wouldn't let her in. She was suddenly very afraid. She was never so afraid of anything concerning a guy. Not even with Tim. It was just something about the way he looked at her, the was he touched her; then he left that day he kissed her on the cheek and even now when she thinks about it her face tingles, he touched her arm and she still smiles when she rubs her arm. She has fallen in love but not like this. That's how she knows this is meant to be forever.
She stands in his apartment, this is only the second time she has seen it. She then hears keys rattling outside the door. It's him she thinks; she then realizes that she didn't think about what she was going to say once she saw him. She then came to the realization that if it really was meant to be it would all come to her. He opened the door and when he saw her stopped in his tracks.
"Junior, I will always love you, no one else. I wasn't with Tim. It's just that you are so perfect and I knew that if I was with you after the whole Pablo thing that you would do the perfect boyfriend thing and try to comfort me. I didn't want to be comforted; I wanted my questions answered and I wanted to just deal with it. I thought the only person that could ever understand that was me. Then Pablo called Tim and told him what happened. Tim came to me and told me he would have wanted to handle it the same way and he took me to see Pablo. Nothing happened. Nothing could ever happen with any other guy, ever; especially after I met you."
Junior walked over and kissed her. The she kissed him back. They didn't stop kissing, Kris wouldn't let them stop. She just wanted to be with him and never let anything come between them. To make sure of this she pulled him closer and closer. They were together, kissing, what seemed like 10 minutes was 1½ hours. She needed to get back. She finally pulled away and said, "Come over later, I need to get back now."
Junior groaned, his groan was much sexier than she had ever heard. She leaned in and kissed him once more but then she really had to go. She couldn't stop smiling.
