Part 2

Fox was in his office at Crane Mansion. He was sitting down on his chair, practically staring at his phone like he was waiting for it to ring. He glanced away then quickly looked back at the phone.

"Are you waiting for a call?"

Fox winced at the person who spoke.

"Not at all." Fox said as he looked up to the person who spoke. He say Kay in all her glory. She had a conquering smirk on her face.

"Then why were you staring at the phone? You weren't waiting for me to call, were you?" Kay sat down at the couch. Fox began to get up and walk towards her.

"Why would I wait for a call for you?"

Kay looked up at Fox who took a seat diagonally from her. She said, "Because you're waiting for an answer."

Fox scoffs. "An answer? For what?"

Kay gently grinned at Fox and said, "Reduced to sly remarks." She shakes her head. "I'm disappointed in you." Kay shifted herself to get comfortable.

"So, what is your answer?"

"Excuse me?" Kay looked at Fox, playing confused.

"My question the other day. Yes or no?" He asked.

Kay looked around, acting confused. "What- What are you talking about? Question? What question?"

"Kay!"

"Nicholas."

"You want me to repeat, don't you?" He watches her nod with a smirk. "Okay. I will repeat this one last time." Kay nods in agreement. "Will you...Kathleen Elizabeth Bennett...-"

"You know this feels like you're proposing to me. You aren't are you? Cause this will be awkward for both of us if we end up in a three way with Whitney." Kay said. She watches Fox glare at her. "Fine. Go on."

Fox continues, "Will you just help me get Whitney back?"

Kay waves her hand around and said, "And why would I do that?"

"Why wouldn't you do it?" Kay looks at him for more persuasion. Fox sighs. "Okay. Uh...you would help me be...cause...I am your best confidante." Kay raises her eyebrow like she was saying 'yeah right'. "Because...you love to get under people's skin." She keeps waving her hand in circles for more. Fox went through a bunch of because until he said, "Because I will be forever indebt to you." Kay smiles at that answer.

"I'll think about it." Kay got up.

"Did you come here to mock me?" Fox stood up as well.

Kay shrugs, "Sure. I should've waited longer. Let you tear your hair out from the suspense. Get you worked up whenever the phone rang."

"Your first plan?"

Kay shrugged a shoulder and replied, "One of them." She heads to the door.

"When do I get your answer?" Fox asked as he followed her to the door.

"One of these days." Kay said, being discreet about it. "When you least expect it. Still want the suspense there."

Fox nods as he should have known this would have happened. "Of course."

"I'll see you." Kay opens the door.

"I want an answer soon!" Fox yelled out at Kay. Kay turned her head to look at Fox.

"Maybe!" Kay shouted back as she left.

Fox watches the door close. He turns around and walks towards to his little alcohol bar on the corner of his office. He mumbles to himself, "Why do I put up with her?" He sighs and shakes his head as he made a drink for himself. "Can't believe this." He sips on his drink. He looks to the door then at his drink. "And reduced to talking to my drink. Reduced...God. I'm even picking up Kay's words. Damnit." He downs the last of his scotch.

Okay so...I wrote this...well…wrote this just last night on Monday, March 20, 2006 uh...yeah... Just want to let you guys know...For now apparent reason. Lol. Kind of tired so uh...yeah...I hope all who reads like it. I'm sorry if it's a little shorter than part 1. I'm also sorry that the end is like part 1's end. I didn't expect it to be that way but it left a sort of small cliffhanger. So far...I like this story and plan to write more but I may pause like my first story if I don't have a great idea in my head. So...please comment and I appreciate everyone who reads and especially those who comment. Thanks:).
