"What time did you want to go out tomorrow?" he asked once we are nice and full.
"Doesn't matter to me. I am still working and getting paid but I need just a bit more things you know. Are you going to be coming back to South park once your physical therapy is over?"
"I really don't see why I can't go out there at this point," said Kyle. "I will need to run things by Catherine. The place still needs to be furnished. You know with the season and everything else that was going on we haven't had time." I nodded completely understanding him. Although being in Cali has been fun I am ready to head back home. We stay in for the remainder of the day. It was nice just talking and being in bed together. I mostly liked falling asleep and waking up beside him. No him sneaking out or anything.
I held him close wishing we could stay like this forever but we have something to actually do today. I will let him decide if he wants to do his hand exercises this morning or evening. I would prefer for him to tackle it when he is in a good mood. I wake up before Kyle, he seems to be dead to the world. I head off down the hall thinking I would cook some breakfast. If there is anything I am good at cooking it is breakfast. I hated going to school or work hungry in the mornings.
I got to the kitchen and I see the chef sitting there reading a newspaper. He spots me and stands up.
"Hello, what can I prepare for you?"
"I was actually going to do the cooking,"
"I appreciate that," smiled the cook. "I am here to cook for you as well. My services have already been paid for." Well when he puts it that way.
"Can you fix some crepes with a side of fresh fruit please. Strawberries, mangos, and honeydew please." He continued to smile.
"You sound like you know what you want. Excellent!" I chuckle.
"I did. I was going to cook pancakes instead of crepes. I am not that good." The chef laughed in return. I sit down at the table and pick up the paper he was reading. Kyle's team has a few weeks to prep for the final game. I wonder if Kyle is at least going to attend the game. He has been avoiding public settings for weeks. He also refuses to do any interviews which I clearly remember Catherine being pissed about. Makes me surprised he agreed to go shopping with me.
Once the food is completed I carry the tray with everything on it back to my room. Once I get to the room I see that Kyle is tossing a little. I sit the tray on the nightstand and go to wake him. "Dude wake up!" Kyle's eyes open and he hunches over.
"Omg I need my medicine. My burns are killing me."
"Where is it?" I asked trying not to panic.
"It's in my room, on the other side of the house,"
"You stay here and I will get it," I take off running to the other side the house. I have never been over here but I figured the room can't be that hard to find. I approach a room with ceiling to floor doors. I open them and it is indeed the master's bedroom. It's huge. It's bigger than my whole first floor at home. I look around the room trying to spot his medicine. I see it sitting next to his TV. I grab everything there and take off back in the direction I came. I get to the room sitting the pills on the bed. Kyle only grabs one of the bottles swallowing the pills dry. His chest is heaving so he must be hurting a lot. "Do you need anything else?" He sits back on the bed.
"No I just need these pills to kick in is all," He gives me a small smile. "Thanks for grabbing breakfast." I had completely forgot about the food.
"Oh yeah. I like your Chef. He is really nice." Kyle nodded not looking well. "Are you up for eating right now?"
"Dude I am so hungry but I won't be able to cut into my crepes right now,"
"I can cut everything for you," I prepare Kyle's tray starting to feel more like a husband. I wonder does Catherine do all of this for him when I am not around. I am sure he would chew her out if that was the case, maybe. I sit his plate on the bed as I prepare mine as well. I am glad it got to sit a while because I hate when my fruit is cold. I put some crepe on a fork and feed Kyle before feeding myself. He is grinning so hard it cause me to laugh. "What?"
"Your feeding me! I actually kind of like it." I laugh and continue to feed the both of us until the crepes are gone. Kyle's medicine kicked in enough for him to eat his fruit with no problem. 'What time did you want to head to the store. Where did you want to go?"
"I don't know, Target,"
"Yeah, I am going to take you to my store. It's my treat okay. More so a thank you."
"You are too good to me," I replied. Kyle leaned in and kissed me softly. I hear his phone go off.
"Hey Cat," Pause. "Yeah we are doing good over here. We are going to be going shopping in a bit. Yes, I hate shopping but this is for Stan's sake." Sure put all the blame on me. He offered to come! "When will you be back?" Pause. "Okay that's fine. I need to talk to you when you get back. Huh, yeah the doctor said I won't be able to play for the next couple of months. Yes! I know my contract is up for renewal!" Why do I get the feeling this is going to escalate? "You are stressing me out. Of course I know how important this. No I am not going to the game." Pause. "Fuck the team! They didn't give a shit about me until we got to the play offs. Not one of them came to visit me at the hospital. I am done talking about this." Kyle ended the call getting up and walking to the bathroom. I didn't follow him allowing him to have his space.
Catherine sounded unconcerned about his feelings regarding everything. I didn't know his contract was up for renewal. This is such bad timing. That is fucked up that his team did not come to visit him. I wonder if they at least tried to call him? I would ask but no point in bringing it up now. While Kyle was still in the bathroom I went ahead and got dressed for us to head out.
"Hey," said Kyle walking out. "Can you come with me to my room while I get dressed? I don't want to be alone at the moment."
"Okay," I follow him down the hallway I had ran earlier. This time I really take a good look at his room. They actually have a huge round mattress. Something that looks like curtains is falling from the ceiling over the mattress. Looks uncomfortable to sleep on. All the colors in the room are white and cream colors. I can see this being Cat's idea. The nightstands and dressers are made of mirror. I go and sit down at a table and chair set up to the right side of the room. This makes me think of an apartment. Only thing missing is a kitchen. For some strange reason, I start thinking about how does Kyle have sex with Catherine? I can't see her doing anything exciting at all. I can however picture her barking orders.
Kyle comes from his closet dressed in a long sleeve shirt with shorts and sneakers on. I kind of feel bad for him because it is hot outside. Kyle makes sure he has everything he needs. We stop back by my room so he can grab his meds in case he needs them. We head out of the house with the driver already outside waiting for us.
On the way Kyle is fighting with his PR. The PR is begging him to do an interview on TV to help his chances of getting a new contract. I feel so bad for him. I knew being a celebrity had its perks but this was a huge downside. I check my email and see I sold some poems and my book sales have been pretty consistent. If I continue to keep up the good work I am sure I could make as much with my books as I do with my poems.
We pull up to Neiuman Marcus and I have never been in there so I am pretty excited to see what they have. It's amazing seeing how rich Kyle's lifestyle is. His driver and also bodyguard follows us in to the store. I wonder does the guy know what is going on between Kyle and I. We get in and get out as quick as we can. I can see a few people looking at Kyle but they didn't walk up to him. I got some new shorts, jeans, under shirts, shirts, socks and underwear. I am going to need to buy an extra suitcase or mail my stuff back at this point.
We make our way back to the house where Kyle has the chef preparing lunch.
"Kyle, when is Cat coming back?" He shrugs as if he doesn't care.
"She will be back in 5 days."
"Is her sister okay?"
"Shit, I don't know. I never got to ask. She was so focused on if I would be playing." I can tell this bothers him.
"Come on Kyle. Let's go put up my clothes and then we can get in your workout for today."
"Awwww do I have to?" I laughed.
"Yes, if you want to be big and strong," Kyle flexed with his right arm.
"I'm already big and strong,"
"Stop playing dude," I laughed. "We can do the same thing as yesterday."
"I like the sound of that," smiled Kyle. Oh, I bet he did. We ended up fucking in the gym. It was amazing to say the least. As much as I feel bad for doing this to Catherine I don't. I don't know what is going on with her sister but she really should be home with Kyle.
