Kali rushed to Give Mark his schedule and remind he had a photo shoot tomorrow. She was still flushed from her run in with Kevin. It should be a sin for a man to look that good.
She knocked on Mark's door.
"Hey Kali." Mark said pulling the door open.
"Hey Mark..I got your schedule here and you have a photo shoot tomorrow morning before our plane leaves." She said.
"Okay thanks." He said.
Mark studied her. She was flushed as hell and looked a little agitated.
"You okay..you're not coming down with anything are you?" He asked.
Only Nash fever she thought to herself.
"No..I'm fine..just been a busy morning. Misha wouldn't go to day care today. She was in a mood. She is with Chessy right now, getting ice cream." She said.
Mark smiled. Misha was a cute little thing, but she wouldn't come anywhere near Mark with out screaming. He wasn't sure what was up with her and he hadn't asked.
"I hope she gets over being scared of me soon." Mark said.
"It's not you..she is just really shy around men." Kali said and left it at that.
"I'll see you later." Kali said.
Mark watched her leave. She was a nice woman. He had seen Kevin giving her the once over more than once. Come to think of it, she usually came to see him after Kevin. Wonder if thats why she was flushed Mark thought laughing.
Chessy and Misha finished there ice cream and waited around for a while.
"Your mama must be running late." She said.
Misha nodded.
"Hey want to go down and visit Scott at the ring?" She asked.
"Yes..I want to see Scott." Misha said still clutching the unicorn he had given her.
"Okay..lets go." She said taking Misha's hand.
Scott, Mark, Kevin and Shawn were all down at the ring sitting around talking about the nights matches.
"Hey look its a meeting of the ego club." Chessy said walking up with Misha.
"Ha Ha very funny brat." Shawn said.
Chessy grinned at him.
Misha started clinging to Chessy as soon as she saw Mark and Shawn.
"Hey its okay sweetie." Chessy said.
Misha started crying.
"Whats wrong with her?" Kevin asked.
Scott pulled Kevin to the side while Chessy tried to calm Misha down.
"She really scared of guys. She seen her daddy beating on her mama a lot. It took almost a month before she would even come near me." Scott said.
Kevin was pissed, how could any one hit Kali was beyond his comprehension or scare that precious little girl like that.
"No wonder Kali was damn jumpy all the time." Kevin said.
Scott laughed.
"Yea that and the fact you torture the poor girl to death." Scott said.
"Hey if anyone ever needed to be flirted with its Kali. She need something normal going on. Besides I cant resist , she's gorgeous." He said.
Scott grinned. He was sure now. Kev had it bad.
Kevin walked over and took Misha in his arms.
"Hey princess. Stop that crying now. Mark and Shawn over there are almost as nice as Big Daddy cool." He said lifting her chin to look at her.
Misha wrapped her arms around his neck and held on tight to him.
Kevin felt his heart melting for the poor kid.
"Look here..I'm going to take you over and let you meet Mark and Shawn, okay?" He asked.
"Chessy come on." Kevin said.
Chessy followed him over to where Shawn and Mark sat.
He turned Misha around so she was facing them.
"Thats Shawn and thats Mark." He said.
Chessy went around and plopped on Mark's lap.
"See he ain't scary at all. In fact he is real nice, except for when you wake him early." Chessy said laughing.
Misha looked at Chessy. She was sitting in his lap and she wasn't scared.
"Hi." Misha said shyly and looked down.
"Nice to meet you Misha." Mark said.
"Okay now say hi to Shawn." Kevin said.
Misha studied him seriously for a moment.
"Hi." She said.
"Hey there sweet thing. I'm friends with your mama." Shawn said.
"Now that wasn't so bad was it?" Kevin asked.
"No." She said hugging Kevin.
"Looks like she really took to you buddy." Scott said coming over.
"It's the hair. Ladies love it." He said smirking at Scott.
"Yea its the only thing ya got going for you." Scott said laughing.
"Hey Scott." Misha said peeking up at him.
"Hey Honey." Scott said smiling at her.
Chessy came over.
"Kali cant keep hiding Misha from men. She will be better off if she learns that all men are not mean." Kevin told Chessy.
"Ya know. I wouldn't go spouting parenting advice to Kali. Shes a great mom. That would be a real good way to piss her off." Chessy said.
"I wasn't criticizing Kali. She did just fine dealing with Mark and Shawn, with a little help." He said.
"Good." Chessy said.
" I guess from the tone of this conversation...Someone told you about Kali's past." Chessy said giving Scott a look.
"Sorry honey...But he wanted to know why Misha was freaking out." Scott said. He wasn't in the habit of keeping things from Kevin.
"I wont say anything. I promise sweetness." Kevin said.
Chessy hoped not. Kali was already a wreak every time she got near Kevin. If she found out Kevin knew about her past, she would really be a mess.
Chessy smiled. Kevin needed a good woman. Maybe these two had possibilities.
Kali walked down to ringside and stopped short. She smiled. Misha was in the ring with the big four as she had come to think of them. She laughed as Misha laid over Mark's chest and Kevin counted three in a pin.
Chessy was right Misha was improving. Hopefully life with James would fade into a distant memory for Misha.
"Hey baby." Kali called out from the edge of the ring.
Misha jumped up and ran over to her mommy.
"Hey mommy. I pinned Mark." She said jumping into her mothers arms.
"I see. You having a good time?" She asked.
"Yes. I like it here." She said smiling.
Chessy walked over smiling.
"Hope you don't mind her being down here. She was having a good time playing with the guys." Chessy said.
"I'm just surprised thats all. But I'm glad to see a smile on her face." Kali said kissing Misha's cheek.
Kevin walked over and hopped out of the ring. Kali swallowed hard. God he towered over her.
"Hey Cupcake." he said grinning.
"Uhh Hi." She said.
"Why you call mommy Cupcake?" Misha asked .
"Cause she is so sweet..just like a cupcake." Kevin said winking down at her.
Kali face flushed with color. Kevin chuckled. She was too cute blushing all the time.
Chessy rolled her eyes. Kevin was a nut.
Misha giggled.
"You're funny Big Daddy." She said.
"Mommy his hair smells good." Misha said looking up at her mother.
"Really." Kali said not knowing what to say in reply to that.
"Yes, you can smell if you want." Misha said grinning.
"Umm Noo." Kali said.
"Oh I don't mind." Kevin said laughing.
He bent over and drew both girls in a loose hug his hair fanning across her face.
Kali smelled his scent. God it was indescribable. She felt as if she was going to pass out. There should be a law a man couldnt look and smell as good as Kevin did.
Kevin pulled back and grinned at the look on her face.
"Cupcake if you turn any redder. you're to explode." he said.
"I have to go." She said backing up.
"Huhh uhh." Kevin said following her.
Kali stopped and stared at Kevin like a deer in headlights.
"I told Misha, we would have breakfast in the morning before our plane leaves." He said.
"Umm I don't know." She said looking down.
"Mommy pleassssse." Misha begged.
Kali looked at Misha. She couldn't disappoint Misha, she really seemed to like Kevin.
"Okay." She said.
Chessy was watching with great interest. These two would be great together if Kali would get over some of her shyness.
"Great I'll meet you at your room at eight." He said.
"Mommy Can I say bye to my friends?" Misha asked.
"Sure honey." She said sitting her down on her feet. She watched with a smile as she scamped over and gave each big man a hug and kiss.
Kevin caught his breath. He had thought she was beautiful before, but the smile she bestowed on her child transformed her into a angel. God to see her smile at him like that.
Chessy grinned and walked off. Yea the man had it bad she thought. This was going to be real interesting.
Kevin lifted his hand and ran a finger down Kali's soft cheek.
"You are so damned beautiful Cupcake." He said staring at her.
Kali stared up at him. She felt like Kevin had a spell on her.
"Thank you." She said looking down.
Kevin lifted her chin with his finger. He leaned forward without even realizing what he was doing. His eyes transfixed on her lips.
Kali's breath caught in her throat. He was going to kiss her.
"Big Daddy..give me a kiss."
The spell was broke and Kevin smiled down at Misha who was tugging on his pants leg.
He smiled and lifted the little girl in his arms.
She planted a kiss on his cheek and hugged him.
Kali stepped back trying to get some distance between her and Kevin.
"I will see you girls in the morning." He said handing Misha to Kali.
Kali nodded and walked off.
Kevin stood watching. He had to have her. No two ways about.
Chessy sat on Scott's lap smiling as she watched them.
"Stay out of it girl." Scott said.
"What?" She asked
"No matchmaking. If they hook up, they hook up. They don't need any interference from you." Scott said.
Shawn and Mark laughed.
"Now you know a woman can't stand to see a happily single guy." Shawn said.
"Oh hush Boy toy." Chessy said sticking out her tongue.
"Watch it little girl. I'll tickle you to death." Shawn said laughing.
"Yea whatever." She said thinking of ways she could push Kevin and Kali together.
"Mark my words Scott, Chessy wont be happy till she has everyone of us married off." Shawn said.
"Count me out. No more marriages for me. Three was enough." Mark said
"You just ain't found the right woman yet." Chessy said.
Mark rolled his eyes. He had more than enough women. He would take them in his bed. But his heart was off limits.
Kali was having a hard time getting Misha settled in for be. She had a lot of energy tonight.
She heard a knock at the door and wondered who would be coming by at eleven at night.
She looked through the peephole and seen Kevin standing there.
Oh God what did he want.
She opened the door. She felt like fainting as the smell of him washed over her. He must have just showered. He smelled of soap and cologne. It was intoxicating.
"I didn't wake the the baby princess did I?" he asked.
"Uh no shes having trouble getting settled tonight." Kali said.
"Can I come in for a minute?" He asked.
The last thing she needed was his imposing figure in the small cramped hotel room.
She stood back however to let him in.
Misha popped up out of the bed as soon as she seen him.
"Big Daddy." She said leaping out of the bed.
"Hey Princess." he said swinging her up in his arms.
Kali couldn't help but smile. Misha really like him and he was being so sweet to her.
"Do you know how late it is little girl, why aren't you sound asleep." he asked.
"Not sleepy." She said laying her head on his shoulder.
"Mmm huhh.. Well the sooner you go to sleep. The sooner we can have breakfast together." He said laying her in the bed and covering her up.
"Okay." She said.
He bent over and kissed her cheek.
"Night Princess." he said.
"Night." She said.
"Step outside the door with me a minute." he said to Kali.
Kali followed slowly wondering what he wanted.
She left the door cracked a bit so she could keep a ear out for Misha.
She leaned against the wall.
Kevin put his hands on either side of the wall effectively trapping her there.
She took a deep breath and found her self staring at his massive chest. She was mesmerized by the way his muscles stretched the shirt.
He was saying something but damned if she heard it.
"Cupcake stop ogling my body and look up here at me." Kevin said chuckling.
Kali felt her face grow hot. God could she make any more of a fool of herself.
Kali ventured a look at his face and seen the amusement in his eyes.
She quickly cast her face down again.
"No no." Kevin said lifting her chin up.
"Now that I have your undivided attention. Will you go out with me tomorrow night when we get to Memphis?" he asked.
"Uhh Well." She stuttered.
"Please." he said leaning his face down close to hers.
Her mind went blank. She could feel his breath on her face and she could only stare at his beautiful lips framed by his goatee and mustache.
"I don't have anyone to watch Misha." She said quickly.
"Chessy will watch her..I already asked." He whispered.
"Uhh." She said but was drawing a blank.
"Say Yes." He said inching closer.
His body, the smell of him, his breath stirring across her cheek was threatening to overwhelm her senses.
"I cant." She said trying to draw back but the wall stopped her.
"You want to." He said inching in even closer.
"No.." She started.
Kevin leaned in the final inch and closed his lips over hers. She wasn't prepared for the shock to her senses and his firm lips closed over her. She felt like time stopped as His lips moved over hers. His tongue licking around her lips urging her to open up to him. Her lips opened like they had a will of there on and his tongue glided in smoothly tasting and teasing every inch of her mouth.
Kali grabbed the front of his shirt clutching at it life a life line. She felt like she was falling.
She moaned as he deepened the kiss even more delving his tongue in and out of her mouth teasing her,driving her crazy.
Kevin pulled back and looked at her God she was beautiful, flush with passion, her lids heavy, her breathing erratic.
"Say Yes." he said his lips still close to hers.
"Yes." She said.
Kevin pressed a quick kiss to her lips and moved his arms so she could go free.
"Get to bed Cupcake, I'll be here early in the morning. Breakfast remember?" he said smiling at her.
She nodded quickly and opened the door.
Kevin pulled her back quickly for another quick kiss.
"Sorry ones not enough." He said grinning.
Her face flushed with color she walked in the room.
"Goodnight." She said.
"Night." he said and walked off down the hall.
She shut the door and leaned against it. Her body still trembling from the kiss. She didn't know what to make of her feelings. Sex with James had been boring. He got on top and did his thing then went to sleep.
She had the feeling she had been missing out on a lot. A whole lot if her reaction to Kevin was any indication. She sighed and went to climb in the bed. She had a feeling that sleep was not going to come easily tonight.
