It's almost midnight; Tony lies in bed. He's waiting for her, she's not back yet. He hears the door open and close. He sits up when he sees her come through the door. She's unzipping her cover up as she walks in. She sees he's waiting up for her; she gives him a half smile, and he matches hers.
"Why are you still up? It's late." He replies, "Ker, you know I couldn't sleep with you still out." She did know there was no way he was going to go to sleep, with her at the pool. He's waiting for her to reply; he wants to talk. She can see it in his eyes; but instead, she prepares to shower, and turns to him as she says, "I will talk to you when I get out of the shower okay?"
He's now standing in front of her, and she sees the pleading in his eyes. She touches his face as she says, "No worries, I am okay. We will talk." He pulls her close; she knows he wants a kiss. He can always tell for sure where she is in her thought process by her kiss. When their lips touch; he feels relief, he can tell she is ready to talk, by the way her body is responding to him.
He breaks the kiss, and sees her staring back at him; he smiles at her, and she returns the smile as she asks, "Do you believe me now?" Like a kid he nods as he smiles instead of speaking, and she shakes her head smiling back at him. He lets her pass and she goes to shower.
But she stares at his naked body as he walks away. As she stares, she moans as she says, "Damn!" He looks back at her as he says, "Thanks," With a wink that makes them both laugh. When she comes back into the bedroom after her shower; Josie is sitting in his lap, as he sits in the bed naked, haphazardly covered by the comforter.
As she steps into the bedroom; she's wearing a pair of red lace boy shorts, with tie ups on the sides, and a matching lace top. He licks his lips as she climbs into bed, and she grins at him, as he ushers Josie out of the way, and he directs her to her bed. Kerry asks, "Do you still want to talk?" He responds, "Yes, I do. But kiss me first." He slides over toward her and she meets him half way; they share a kiss that makes both of them moan when it breaks.
He's caught up in her fragrance; it's turning him on. He says, "Damn, you smell good baby. You smell like chocolate." She laughs as she says, "Yeah, it's a new body wash I ordered." He responds, "MMMM I bet you taste just as good." She smiles as she hits him playfully, and says, "You are too much, but I like it." He smiles at her and sees her eyes twinkle; he loves staring into her eyes.
He says, "You're just so damn beautiful baby." She glows as she grins, loving the way he admires her. No man has ever made her feel this way. He makes her feel like she is the only woman in the world; just by looking at her. She touches his hand; feeling as though they need to get this out and in the open. She says, "Thanks baby. But let's get this talk over with, so we can move on."
He responds, "Okay. How are you?" She replies, "I am good. The swim helped me settle my thoughts. I was feeling better afterwards, and Liz helped with the rest." He smiles as he thinks fondly of his sister; he loves how close they are, and how she always talks Kerry down when things go awry.
He asks, "Are you sure you're okay about Bellamy and I doing the scene?" She sighs as she says, "No I am not okay with it. But it's happening, and we knew that it would. So I am accepting it for what it is." He asks, "What does that mean Ker?" She says, "It means that I know it has to happen, and I will be there physically, but not mentally."
He feels awful that she has to go through this, and he wishes that wasn't the case. But he appreciates her trying to get beyond it. He knows that Bellamy's excitement at the table read was overwhelming for her; even he felt like she was over the top, and wanted to tell her to put a cork in it. However, Shonda seems to love her enthusiasm; so there was really nothing he could do.
He says, "Well I commend you for trying to push through this Ker; I appreciate your understanding." She replies, "I know you do, and I know that it's just a scene. I am doing my best to see it that way no matter how it feels." He says, "Okay, and if you need to step away; just do what you have to. I understand." She responds, "Okay, I will keep that in mind. It's going to help that Jeff will be with me in the scene to keep me together." Tony says, "I agree; it's good you won't be alone."
The more they talk; the more settled she becomes. She's owning the situation, and dealing with it slowly. She feels she will be more prepared as the time draws closer. He sees her looking back at him; he listens as she talks about her feelings about the scene, and how she doesn't see why the sex scene seems relevant. He agrees with her; given the way the story unfolds, it seems a bit out of sequence. But he's not directing; so he lets it go.
They talk for the next hour, until they both begin to yawn. She tells him about she and Liz's conversation, and they crack up. She tells him she's invited her out to see the set, and she has agreed to come in a few weeks. He asks, "But what about your parents Ker?"
She responds, "I will invite them soon T; but not now. I want us to enjoy our time together." He understands her response, and says, "I get it; just don't wait too long. You know your mother worries, and she'll show up without you knowing." She smiles as she says, "Yes, I do."
She recalls her mother doing the surprise visit act last year. She and Tony snuck away to Hawaii for a week, and unplugged from the world. Apparently her mother didn't appreciate that, and when she got to her home in Santa Barbara; she was waiting for her.
This almost caused a huge disaster considering Tony was supposed to come home with her; but last minute had to stay in LA for work. She still shutters to think what her mother would've said if she saw them together in that moment. She's forever thankful that they avoided that situation.
She shakes out of her thoughts with him touching her face. As she bats her eyes at him; he smiles at her, and feels her hand on his thigh. Suddenly, sleep isn't a factor here. She sees him perk up and smiles at him.
His smile brightens as he feels her hand on his crotch, and she begins massaging him. His smile of giddiness turns into one of 100% lust, as he begins to moan, and he grabs her head, pulling her face to his, as they kiss. She loves touching him; gripping him and stroking him, it turns both of them on.
