Chapter 4 - A Not So Happy Surprise

Woods...Matt

Matt left the horrible scene. He was so frustrated. His mother was right. He knew it, but didn't want to believe it. How could he face them again? He had to kill them, but he couldn't. "Why am I not walking away?" Matt thought while watching Kris and Junior. When they started to remove clothes, he needed to walk away. But he still hadn't. "I could only watch until Junior's pants come off," he thought. He didn't dare to speak. He was hoping to catch a glimpse of Kris. When the pants came off, he looked away. He now knows that he will never get a chance with her again...Unless, Junior is out of the picture. Matt thought if he found a way to remove Junior from her life, Kris would want him.

Woods...Kris and Junior

A few hours have passed since Matt spotted them down by the river. Kris nor Junior realized what their friend has done, or what was thinking. The two had gotten dressed and went to their bags. Junior grabbed two bags of chips out of a bag. "Want one? You must be hungry." he offered.

"Sure." Kris answered him while grabbing the bag from his grip.

"I think we should head back home soon. I don't think you really have much clothes. Your stuff is still at Dani's clinic. You could wear my clothes, but they are to big for you." Junior said hesitantly. He didn't want to leave, but thought of Kris.

"Yea I know. I really don't want to go, but I do need more clothes." Kris said, biting into a chip. " We need to plan on when we are leaving here...I mean, I don't want to leave. But people will look. What if they call the police or something?"

"So let them look." was all Junior could say without thinking more."Did she really want to leave this time of just the two of them? Why?" he thought. Finally speaking out loud,"We'll leave tomorrow."

"Are you sure? Junior-" Kris was interrupted.

"No. But we need a shower. And I don't think there is clean water around here"

"We'll leave tomorrow then." Junior is right. They both needed a shower. And Kris didn't want to be around Junior for much longer without being clean."This is our last night of just us. What do you want to do?" Kris asked.

"I don't know. Whatever you want. I'm just happy being here with you." Junior stated.

"Go by the lake later? Watch the sunset? Sleep by the waters tonight?" Kris suggested.

"I'll go get the bags. Later I will try to make something to eat. All we had was a bag of chips. Do you want to wait, or are you hungry now?" Junior spoke.

"Hmm. I will wait until later."

Junior started to fold blankets and stuffed them into a bag. "Can you carry this bag?" Junior asked, holding out a bag to Kris.

"You don't need to be the only one doing the work." Kris said grabbing a bag from Junior's grip.

They each carried a couple of bags and settled down in the same spot as before. Junior grabbed a couple of snacks, put it on a paper plate, made a sandwich, put it on the plate and held it out. "Your gourmet meal has been served."

"Thank you." Kris said with a couple of laughs.

"Chef Davis made it personally, just for Ms. Furillo." Junior said with a big smile, trying not to laugh.

"Well, I'm in luck. I'm Ms. Furillo. I think Chef Davis should eat some of this."

"No, no. It's yours. Chef Davis can make his own." Junior turned around and made the same plate. "Look, now I have one too."

"This is the greatest meal. I think I should tell Chef Davis." Kris said while biting into the sandwich.

"No. He can get a big ego when people love his work." Junior smiled, then kissed Kris.

To Matt

Matt was driving crazily. He almost hit a pole, barn, tree, and a fence. The thought of the one he loves and his best friend having sex before him. He managed to make it back home. Jean was with the horses in the barn. She saw Matt's truck coming the barn at a really fast rate. He stopped suddenly and got out of the truck.

"What were you trying to do? Kill yourself and the horses? Why were you driving so fast anyway?" Jean asked.

"Sorry. I didn't realize how fast I was going until I saw how close was approaching the barn." Matt lied. He didn't want to bring up what he saw. To painful.

"Next time, pay attention. You could've killed you and horses. Did you find what you were looking for?" Jean asked, knowing he was in search of Kris.

"I figure they are big enough to come back on their own." Matt knew what she was talking about. "Mom. I'd love to stay here with you and reminisce about God knows what, but I need to set priorities straight right now. I'll be up in my room." With that said, Matt left to the house. Matt thought that he needed to brew up a good plan...and soon.

Woods. Kris And Junior

They were relaxing by the waters waiting for a sunset. "Kris?" Junior called her name.

"Yes?" Kris answered.

"You know I love you and you obviously love me too." Junior continued.

"Yea. I love you. Is there a problem?" Kris asked.

Junior sat up. "No. No problem. I love you and these past couple of days has been good. You and me. No one else. Are you happy where your life is headed?"

"Honestly. I don't know where my life is headed. Just taking it day by day. Why do you ask?"

'I love you so much." Junior reached into his pocket and pulled out a small box. "Would you make me the happiest man in the world?"

"What do you mean?" Kris asked since she didn't see the box yet.

Junior held the box out, opened it and said, "Will you marry me Kristine Furillo?"

Kris eyed the ring. It is beautiful. "This isn't Laura's ring, is it?"

Junior was shocked that she thought he would do that. "Hell no. I never would do that. Plus, this one's better."

"In that case...YES! I would love to marry you!" Kris responded.

"Really?" Junior was shocked. He wasn't sure if she'd say yes. It was only a few days after the wedding to Laura.

"YES! Yes means yes."

Junior hugged her tight and kissed her passionately. They were both excited.
