"Yes," she replied softly as she pulled back.

"You know that I'll always be here when you need me, don't you?"

"Of course I know that, Kevin. How could you ask such a thing?"

"It just felt like you needed something more than a simple hug."

"It's just that I've had a long day and I think I'm starting to feel the effects of it, I guess."

"Well, if that's all you needed, then you can give me a hug anytime," Kevin replied. I'll

do more than that if we were more than friends, he thought. Kevin felt as if there was

something that she wasn't telling him, but he decided not to push her. He knew that she

would tell him in her own time.

"All right, let's get out of here before Scott and Paul start worrying about us," Kara

replied, but not letting go of his arms. One thing she loved was being in Kevin's arms.

She always felt safe with Kevin. They got their keys and their essentials and headed out

the door. They reached the elevator in a comfortable silence and holding each other's

hands. All in all, Kara didn't ever want to let go of Kevin's hand. Kevin was feeling the

exact same way once Kara had held onto his hand. The elevator had just opened and they

both went inside. They came out once they reached the main floor that led to the lobby.

They looked around and didn't see Paul or Scott.

"I'm sure that the guys are on their way down right now," Kevin replied as he led Kara to

the sitting area.

"Yeah, I'm sure too," she said as she sat down next to him and laid her head on his

shoulder. Kevin put his arm around her, allowing her to be comfortable. Kara smiled

brightly. "What are you smiling about?" She shrugged, wanting to tease him. "You're not

going to tell me?" she shook her head, her smile getting bigger. "Hmmm, I wonder what

it will take to get you to tell me," she shrugged again. "You like playing this game, don't

you?" she nodded. "Come on, tell me," he said, starting to tickle her.

"Ok, ok, I'll tell you," she said, trying to stop him from tickling her. "I'm smiling

because of what you just did," she said.

"What do you mean?"

"You always go out of your way to make me feel comfortable," she explained.

"Do I?"

"Yes."

"Since when?"

"Since the first day that we met."

"Really?"

"Yeah, but that's ok."

"Yeah?"

"Yes, because I like it," she said.

"Like what?" they both heard Paul's voice. Kara saw Scott right behind Paul, who looked

like he was trying to fix something.

"Like the fact that Kevin has always been going out of his way to make me feel

comfortable," she explained.

"I gotta agree with her, Kev. You've been doing that since we've all known each other."

"Maybe I should stop doing that," Kevin said, teasing her by pulling his arm away.

She grabbed his arm, stopping him. "You better not!" she said, laughing.

"Come on, let's get something to eat," Paul said as we all headed out of the lobby into the

parking lot.

Paul had gotten into the driver's side as Scott sat in the front and Kevin sat in the back

with Kara. In the car, they chatted until they got to the restaurant. They got into the

parking lot and allowed the valet to park their car. They all walked up to the front; Paul

holding the door for everyone and Kevin leading Kara by placing his hand on the small of

her back. Kara was taking in the sight of where it was located. There was a beautiful

theatre right across the street, with all of its lights on, people rustling about. There were

various stores left and right of the restaurant and the theatre. The parking lot was huge,

but luckily, for the valet parking, they didn't have to walk across the parking lot. All

around the restaurant, there was a small garden of different flowers. Soft lights were

hanging from the ceiling rims outside. Once they were inside, Kara had seen beautiful

artwork portrayed on the walls. Silver and purple were the theme colors for the drapes.

The head waiter recognized who they were and said, "Would you like to be seated in our

VIP section?"

"Yes, please," Kevin replied.

The waiter led them to the VIP section, which was on the second floor and more quiet.

"Here is your table. A waiter shall be with you shortly to take your order," he said as he

left. They all sat down with Kevin sitting next to Kara, who was sitting across from Paul

and Scott across from Kevin.

"This place looks nice. I like it," Kara said.

"Yeah, it does," Paul said. "Kevin, Scott and I try to come here whenever we can."

"That's amazing," she said, taking in the beauty of the place. On each table was a small

centerpiece of two roses, on theirs, the colors were yellow and red. Each table had

different color roses. Kara reached out and brought the flowers closer to her, so that she

could smell them.

A medium-height black haired man in a white shirt and black slacks had come by the

table. He had a rose in hand. "A rose for the lady," he said, giving Kara a red rose.

"Thank you," she said, accepting the rose, smelling the rose and smiling.

"My name is Enrique and I'll be your waiter tonight. Would you like anything to drink

tonight?"

"I'd like a strawberry margarita please," Kara said, showing the waiter her ID.

"No ID is necessary. Thank you," he said.

"Three beers for the rest of us," Kevin ordered. "And waters all around."

"Of course, would you like any appetizers to start with?"

"Not at the moment, thank you," Paul replied as everyone shook their head.

"I'll be back with your drinks," Enrique said as he left. They all looked at their menus

and knew what they all wanted. Enrique came back moments later with the drinks and

took their orders.

When he left, Kevin asked, "How do you like being in front of the camera?"

"It's hard to say, really."

"Why is that?" Scott asked.

"I mean, I've only been in front of the camera for only a few minutes, right?" the guys

nodded. "So I can't really say anything about it except that I was nervous about messing

up which I didn't, obviously," she said.

"Yeah, I can understand that. I'm sure in time, you'll get used to being in front of the

camera. It becomes natural once you get used having the camera there," Kevin explained.

"I just can't wait until I really get to work with you guys. I mean right now, it's like Ric

said, we're just taking time for the fans to accept me right now as Ric's assistant." All

four of them continued to chat until the food arrived. They dug in and continued to chat.

Kara ate half of her food and started to feel a little sick. She put down her silverware and

took a sip of her water. "Kevin, could you move? I need to use the ladies' room," Kara

said, her voice shaking.

"Sure," he said, puzzled. He moved out of the way and Kara immediately ran to the

restroom. "I wonder what's wrong."

"Yeah, she looked a little pale," Scott mentioned.

"Yeah," Kevin said softly. Some time later, Kara had come back from the ladies room.

"I'm back," Kara said quietly. Kevin got up and allowed her to go into the booth.

"Kara, are you feeling all right?" Kevin asked.

"I think the food isn't agreeing with me. I just threw it up," she confessed.

"We should get out of here," Paul said, looking at Kara with concern.

"Yeah, let's get the check and get out of here," Scott said as he motioned for the check.

They were waiting for the car after paying for the check. Kevin was holding her because

she almost collapsed as they came out of the restaurant. "Kevin," Kara said softly.

"What's the matter?" he asked. Before she could answer, she fainted. He grabbed her and

carried her. The car had just come in front of them. Paul opened the car door for Kevin as

he gently sat Kara in the back seat. He closed the door and ran to the other side and got

in. Paul had sped away to the hotel and trying not to get killed or get a speeding ticket.

"Is there anything that you want us to do?" Paul asked when they arrived to Kevin's hotel

room. They were relieved that none of the WWE superstars were in the lobby area.

"No, you guys just go back to your hotel room. I'll take care of her. I'll call you in the

morning." Kevin sat beside her, "Wake up, sweetheart," he said softly. Paul and Scott

could tell that Kevin was in love with her, even though they both knew that Kevin

wouldn't admit to it.

"Are you sure about that?" Paul asked.

"Yeah, I'm sure," he replied.

"All right, we'll go," Paul said.

"Call us in the morning," Scott said. Kevin nodded and his forehead touched hers. He

never heard both of them say goodbye to him. He got up and went to the restroom to get a

cold cloth.

"Kevin?" he heard her soft voice.

He ran to her side, "Kara?"

"What happened?" she said, wincing. "My head hurts."

"Let me get some aspirin for you," Kevin said, getting the medication from his bag. He

went to the restroom and got a glass of water. He came back to her, "Here." She took it

gratefully. She laid back in bed and looked up at Kevin. "You fainted and I think it's

because you had more than enough excitement for the day."

"Kevin?"

"What's the matter?"

"Could you stay with me please?" she said, starting to cry.

"You know that I will stay with you. You don't have to ask," he said, taking off his shoes

and socks. "Want to change your clothes?"

"Yeah," she said, trying to get up, but laid back on the bed because of the dizziness.

"Just stay there," he said. "I'll help you change your clothes." He grabbed her bag and

looked for her pjs. "What colors are your pjs?"

"Its gray tank top and gray shorts," she told him. He got them out of her bag and put her

bag on the ground. With him there, she sat up slowly and took of her blouse and her bra

and put on her top on.

He groaned as he saw her breasts and he wanted nothing more than to suck on her

breasts. He thought that they were perfect. Down, boy, he thought, but it was too late, he

had never felt so hard in his life. "Kara, I'm going to take a shower and then come to

bed," he said, heading to the bathroom.

"All right," she replied.

He immediately turned on the cold water and went in the stall as soon as he stripped his

clothes off. His mind was full of images of Kara and he grabbed his hard, erect cock and

started stroking it. He moaned, trying hard not to be loud. He continued to stroke for a

good 5 mins before shooting his seed. He felt better but still felt like a pervert because of

her innocent power over him. He turned the water off and cleaned himself up. He put on

his boxers and came out of the bathroom. When he came out, what he saw had melted his

heart. Kara was lying underneath the covers in a fetal position in her side of the bed. He

put his clothes on top of his luggage and climbed into bed, careful not to bother Kara. He

smiled as soon as Kara sleepily cuddled up against him when he got comfortable. He

watched over her as she slept. Not only did he want to make love to her, but he wanted to

protect her with his life. He slept an hour after watching her and making her feel safe. He

fell asleep, holding her and he never felt so happy before in his life, not even with

Tamara. The next morning, he felt something warm cuddled up against him when he

woke up. He looked down and saw Kara was sleeping peacefully next to him. He smiled

at the fact that Kara's body was nearly on top of his. He looked over to the clock and

noticed that it was only 7:23 in the morning. He remembered that Kara mentioned to him

that she had a meeting with Vince for breakfast at 8:30. He shook her gently, "Kara?"

She didn't move and he gently shook her again. "Kara?" She stirred and rubbed her eyes.

When she opened her eyes, she looked in Kevin's welcoming brown eyes. "What time is

it?" she asked.

"It's 7:23 in the morning."

She groaned and snuggled back next to him, "Let me sleep."

"I would love to let you sleep but don't you have a meeting with Vince at 8:30?" Kevin

immediately laughed as she shot out of bed and into the restroom to get ready for her

meeting with Vince. By 8, Kara was dressed in her business suit. All she needed to do

was get her hair done and make up on. She sat down near the hotel's vanity mirror and

got her make up done while her hair was being dried by the towel. By 8:20, she was

getting her paperwork organized for her meeting with Vince. Kevin had the TV on but he

was too busy watching her run around the hotel room.

"Ok, I'm leaving now, I should be back here in a couple of hours," she said, finally

looking at Kevin.

He smiled, "All right, if I'm not here, it probably means that I'm out with the guys at the

hotel's gym."

She smiled and nodded. She went up to him, only intending to kiss him on the cheek, but

Kissed him on his lips, "I'll talk to you later." She walked out of the door, not allowing

Kevin to respond back. She got to the elevator and walked into it when it opened. When

the doors closed, her hand went up to her mouth. I can't believe that I kissed him, she

thought, but I love him. She sighed as she leaned against the wall. She got out when she

reached the main lobby and met with Vince for her meeting. The meeting only lasted an

hour before she went up to her room. She didn't want to face Kevin. Not after she

remembered kissing him. She walked as slowly as she could. No matter how slow she

walked, she still got to the hotel room anyway. She looked at the door and sighed heavily.

Time to face the music, she thought. She got her key card and opened the door. She heard

noise from the television set and the guys talking, she knew that he was still there. She

mustered up all her strength and put on a smile. "Hey guys," she said as she came in.

"Kay," Paul said, as he got up and hugged her. "Are you feeling better now?"

Kara smiled at him. "Yes, I'm feeling much better. Thank you for asking."

"Where were you this morning?" he asked.

"I had a meeting with Vince this morning," she said as she put her briefcase down on the

side table.

"The meeting's over?" Kevin asked, surprised.

"Yeah, I was surprised that it was short," Kara said, equally surprised.

"What was the meeting for?" Scott asked.

"He wanted to update me about the storylines that I will be involved with. He mentioned

that there were several angles that I could be involved with and he said that I could

decide which angle to participate in," she sighed.

"What's the matter with the angles?" Kevin asked.

"The angles that he suggested for me don't include any of you," she explained.

"Did you ask Vince?" Kevin asked.

"Yeah, but he thought that I wouldn't be ready for something like that, not just yet."

"Well, I, for one, think that sucks," Scott put it bluntly. Kara laughed, "What's so

funny?" Scott asked.

"That's exactly what I told Vince," she said, smiling. The guys laughed along with her.

They all continued to chat for a few minutes and then decided to go to the gym and work

out. Kara had changed into her workout clothes. She had black biker shorts and black

sports bra with a white wife beater tied up in the back. Her flat stomach was revealed and

Kevin saw something glitter.

"Kay, did you pierce your belly button?"

"Yeah," she said, putting her hair in a ponytail.

"When did you do it?"

"The summer after I moved out of your place," she said as she sat on the bed to tie her

tennis shoes. Kevin was simply wearing black sweat pants and a long gray tank top. His

hair was in a ponytail.

"You ready?"

"Yeah," she said as she got up, got her CD walkman and followed Kevin to the gym.

When Kevin and Kara met Paul and Scott at the gym, they all started working out. Kara

went straight to the treadmills as the guys went to the weights area. They spent a good

couple of hours working out at the hotel's gym before going up and cleaning up. They

guys had autographs sessions to do and Kara had to go to a staff meeting at the arena.
