Reefside University
The students at Reefside University were getting the week off for Thanksgiving. For Tommy, Rocky, Conner, and Jason this was a much needed vacation. They were tired of the midterms, college café food, and they were excited to see their family members.
Rocky and Jason were the ones most excited to see their girlfriends. They were coming today to visit, and they were going to take their boyfriends home. For that, these two guys were swiftly running around the dorm trying to clean up the place.
"Come on, it's like another 30 minutes before my girl gets here." Rocky breathlessly urged. He was scrubbing down the countertop and dining room table with some energetic elbow grease.
Jason started to clean the living room table. He head on yellow gloves, a mask, and a rag in hand. He looked like he was prepared. "I'm coming. Shit." He cursed as he began to clean.
Conner and Tommy were watching from their respective doors. They were giggling at the sight of their roommates cleaning.
"You know you could-" Rock scrubbed down. He could barely concentrate. "-help clean."
"We do clean." Conner aforementioned, while looking at the sight of them. He smugly smiled. "Well, I clean, unlike Tommy. He's hardly here to clean."
Tommy glared. "Hand me the mop, I'll scoop up some of the dirt." He offered kindly. He began sweeping around the perimeter of the dormitory, and then the inside.
"I call the bedroom today!" Rocky yelled. He needed some alone time with Aisha.
Conner nodded. "That's fine, Kira and I are heading to our parents' house anyways." He commented as he started to pick up a little bit.
"Trini and I will be in the bedroom." Jason gave a look to Tommy. Tommy nodded. "Good, it's been too long since I've been buried inside Trini, and I am ready to get my freak on." Jason began dancing around like a maniac.
Tommy laughed. "Knock yourself out Bro, Kim and I are heading out tonight to my parent's."
The concept of their son being in a relationship has sunk in for Thomas and Mary Beth Oliver. They were ready to meet the young lady that had stolen the heart of their only child. Tommy mentioned all good things about Kim, and he was happy that his parents were accepting. He hoped they would welcome Kim to the family. As far as he was concerned, Kim was it for him.
"Are you guys going to visit Kim's family?" Conner questioned, while he grabbed the dustpan. He bent down for Tommy to swoop in the dust he's composed.
"No, Kim's pretty estranged from her family." Tommy gently swept the dirt into the dustpan.
"What's Kim's last name?" Conner wondered. His girlfriend and him couldn't get over how recognizable Kim was to them. They kept trying to think of where they had seen her before.
The Bouncer placed the broom in the linen closet. "Hart." He replied.
Conner continued with cleaning. His theory was thrown out the window.
If the room was like the Jetson's place, all the areas in the room would sparkle from how neat, tidy, and spotless it was. Rocky went to change, and the rest of the guys waited for the guests. After a few minutes, there was a knock on the door. Jason went to answer it.
A young, African American woman walked in. She gave a warm smile to Jason. The young woman had on a yellow, long sleeved shirt, blue jeans, and black Ugg boots. Her hair was in thin braids, and the braids reached down to the middle of her back. She was fairly short, and she didn't wear a lot of makeup. In Jason's eyes, he could see why Rocky was in love with this woman. He found her to be really pretty.
"Is Rocky here?" Aisha asked politely.
"Yes, he's probably in the dorm room getting dressed. I'm Jason." He held out his hand.
She took it. "I'm Aisha." She saw there were two other men in the room. "Nice to meet you guys. Rocky's told me a lot about all of you." She gave them another bright smile. She walked up to Conner, first. "Let me guess, the captain of the soccer team, and can play guitar. You got your ass kicked the first weekend here by all the guys. Goofy, yet serious, and you are very humble."
"Wow, yeah, that's me." He gave a bear hug to Aisha. "I'm Conner McKnight."
Aisha smiled. She walked up to Tommy. "Major in paleontology, you are the younger brother, used to be hardcore Catholic boy, but broke out of his shell, and hardly stays in the dorm because you go to your girlfriend's a lot, oh and you work at a movie theater." She gave him the once over. "Not to mention you are a 5th degree black belt in martial arts."
"Yes, that's me." Tommy chuckled at the tiny figure before him. "I'm Tommy Oliver, and it's very nice to meet you, Aisha." He gave her a hug as well.
"Hey, where's my summary?" Jason asked her.
Aisha giggled, and she turned to him. "Jason Scott, EMT hopeful, and martial artist extraordinaire. You have a girlfriend named Trini, and you like to sleep with the teddy bear she gave you, Mr. Rex."
Jason gave an embarrassed grin, while Tommy and Conner laughed.
"How did I miss that?" Tommy chuckled. "I thought that was for Trini."
"Shut up." Jason hissed.
The door to Rocky and Conner's door opened with a loud boom, by smacking against the wall with eagerness. Rocky's eyes trekked onto his girlfriend. His eyes grew dark, and he gave her a seductive smirk. Aisha's mouth responded by giving him a similar one. She ran to Rocky, and he caught her. They began to passionately make out. There was no point for Rocky to change, but he wanted to smell and look really good for her.
The couple withdrew from everyone's eye staring by means of disappearing in the bedroom. Rocky locked the door.
"Aw, shit." Conner cursed. "I forgot my bag was in there."
"They aren't going to spend the entire time in there." Tommy comforted. Moaning reverberated throughout the dormitory. "Never mind."
Once again, there was an eager knock on the front door of the dorm. Jason, once again, opened it. He stayed at the door, and his mouth engulfed his girlfriend's mouth with readiness. Jason couldn't wait to enter the center of his girlfriend. If he could, he would do the damn thing right there.
Conner and Tommy watched the scene. They grinned for Jason. He was very much horny, at this point. His jacking off sessions were becoming more frequent.
Trini and Jason broke for air. They blushed under the gaze of hazel and chocolate eyes of Conner and Tommy, respectively.
"Guys, this is my girlfriend, Trini." Jason introduced them.
Trini shook their hands. She decided to give her mini bio of each guy. She went up to Tommy first. "Paleontology, not so prudish anymore, and a sex fiend." She smiled at him.
Tommy blushed. She was right. His girlfriend and him were doing it very often. He couldn't even count on his hands and feet how many times they have had sex in the past three weeks. He smiled at the thought, but it faltered. His parents' house. How was he going to get away with it? He pushed it to the back of his head, and he gave Trini a hug.
The young, Vietnamese beauty walked up to Conner. "Excellent soccer player, has a girlfriend named Kira, and you are somewhat airheaded."
He shook her hand, and he glared at Jason for what he's told Trini. "That's me." He smiled at her.
The young students looked at Trini. She was wearing a yellow cardigan, a white undershirt, black jeans, and white Chuck Taylors. She had ravishing, black hair, and she had delicate Asian features. She was very attractive too.
They understood what Jason and Rocky saw in each of their girls.
Jason grabbed his girlfriend's hand. "If you excuse us-" Jason didn't finish it. They scampered to the dorm room.
"Well, what time are you heading out tonight?" Conner queried his roommate.
The moonlighting bouncer smiled. "Probably 5 or so. Kim wants me to help her pack." Tommy replied.
Trini's moaning was apparent. Tommy and Conner smirked.
Conner whistled. "Man, I see the big duffel bags Kim brings over. If you all are spending the week over there, shit, you might have three suitcases filling up your truck. Well, that shouldn't be a problem because you have a truck." He scratched his head.
"Don't think too hard." Tommy laughed at him. Kim has a big duffel bag because of her stripper clothing, shoes, and makeup.
"Why don't we all go out to lunch?" Conner thought about it. This would be a perfect opportunity for the girlfriends to get to know each other.
Tommy mused. Kim is beginning to feel very skittish around Kira and you. I don't want her feeling extremely uncomfortable. He's always looking out for his girlfriend. The incident from Halloween coupled with Kim's past has made her very panicky around certain people. She seemed to be the most anxious around Conner and Kira, but he never understood why.
"Uh, I'll ask her. I'm heading over there now." Tommy gave a 'guy hug'. "Later, Bro." He exited.

Eltar Condos
Tommy walked into Kim's place. She gave him a key because he was always taking her to and from home. She deemed him worthy to have one.
The condo was a mess. Clothes, shoes, and accessories were strewn everywhere. He walked to her room, and he heard crying. He softly opened the door, careful not to scare Kim. Her body was racked with sobs, and he climbed into bed. "Baby." He tried to make his voice as soothing and gentle as possible. His strong arms enveloped her weeping body.
As time passed, her jumpy body, relaxed in his familiar arms. "To-Tommy." Kim's voice was small.
He had never heard or seen her like this. She was usually the strong, bold, stripper. Now, she was a little girl, she sounded lost, and unsure of what to do. "Yes, Beautiful." He said.
She moved to lie on her back. Tommy was lying on his side looking at her; he used his left hand to prop up his head. Her eyes were puffy, her nose was running, and the little bit of makeup she had was smudged. He used his right thumb to wipe off the remnants of her makeup. Kim massaged from his wrist to about three inches above. She kept caressing him, and she basked in the tender touches of his thumb.
He bent down and began to kiss her. What was meant to be a soft and gentle kiss, turned into a passionate and rough kiss. He climbed on top of her. His erection pressed harder into her pussy. He began to grind into her.
She got wet at the gesture, and her legs locked on the small of his back. She held him snugly against her. Kim broke the kiss, and she tilted her neck to the side. Tommy's mouth began to graze around her neck. He licked leisurely onto her pulse points. He kissed, nibbled, and sucked everywhere around her neck too. His teeth was used to vaguely bite.
Moaning, Kim used her hands to grab his face. They continued their hot kissing. Their tongues sensually slapped around in each other's mouths. Their kissing turned frantic, and Tommy's penis was strained in his pants. He needed to be buried inside of her. Topaz pools and chocolate brown eyes met, and there was a consensus.
Quickly, they tore each other's clothes off. Now her bedroom looked more like her living room. Clothes were all over the place, and while on their knees, they began to continue their kissing battle. She wanted a different position. Usually, their positions were missionary, or her on top. Not right now, she wanted to subservient. She needed him to do this to her.
Her back was facing him. Tommy's brows furrowed. He had no clue what she wanted done. "Kim."
"No speaking. Enter from behind." Kim directed. She spread her legs for him, and she placed her ass higher in the air.
He grabbed his cock, and he massaged it from her asshole down the slit of her moistened pussy. He slowly brought it back up. Bingo. He thought as he finally found her hole, the right hole. He positioned his head at the cusp.
Kim felt his head, and she knew in this position she could feel everything. Her head was resting on it's right side. Her arms were dangling off the bed's edge. She waited for him, or did she? Forcefully, Kim rocked her hips back. His dick reached the hilt inside of her. "Fuckkkkk."
"Shit!" Tommy cursed at that solitary, erotic motion. He placed his hands on her hips, bracing himself for the next move.
She seductively smirked, and she moved back and forth on his cock. The sounds of his dick hitting her moisture echoed in the bedroom. Kim continued her motions. "Yes, fuck, I love it." She grasped the sheets and scrunched them at the feeling.
Tommy's fingers dug into her hips. He couldn't stay stagnant any longer; he rocked in and out of her himself. He set the pace. It was rougher than hers. He fucked her pussy. "Shit… Kim… you feel fucking good." His dick scratched her insides with pleasure. Her wetness was uncontrollable, and he saw her thick, white liquid encompassing his cock. That was gratifying.
"More." She managed to rasp out. She switched to the true doggy position- on all fours, her hands, palm down, and her knees resting on the bed.
He gave it to her. His hips roughly pounded against her ass, while she rocked her hips against him urgently. They were fucking. There was no doubt about that. Her climax was coming.
"Oh… fuck…" She screamed as the arousal kept hitting her body like a speeding car. "I'm cumming." She came upon his dick with full force, and her body shook at the motion, but he didn't stop. With her body was still shaking, he didn't give her leniency. His finger found her clit. He began to use his thumb and index finger to massage it. "Damnnn… fuck, ah." Her body thrashed around a bit.
"I'm far from cumming." He stated with bravado. He continued his thrusting inside of her. Her cum re-entered her with every powerful insertion of his dick. "I love you." He yanked her hips against him, so he continued hitting her hilt at a maddened pace.
"Oh… God…" Her mouth revealed again. The feeling was indescribable. "I love you." She yelped with passion.
"Again." He commanded through gritted teeth. Her pussy fucked his dick amazingly. This position was different and somewhat domineering. He loved this, and he wanted her to be in charge like this often. Each stroke he gave her made her weak in the knees, and she could barely hold herself up. Literally, he was fucking her brains out. Nothing was articulated correctly in Kim's mind.
His rocking motions obstructed her notions. The sensitivity of her clit was nearby. "I want more." Kim sexually whimpered, and she looked over her shoulder at him.
Momentarily he stopped, and he grabbed her head and kissed her deeply. She cried in pleasure at his tongue and mouth sucking on hers. Again, the kiss was rough, and he ruled it. He broke it, and he continued ramming his dick into her. She bucked at the force, and she came all over again. Her body slightly shook at the feeling that was dispersing through her body. "Oh my… fuck." She shouted.
He bent down and kissed her shoulder blade. "I'm almost there." He whispered hotly. Kim nodded. He took out his dick, and he saw all of her cum present. She turned around to see, and she opened her mouth and began to slurp up the cum. He looked down, and he watched as she began to suck his dick clean. "Shit." He moaned softly at her mouth's movements. If she continued, he would bust in her mouth. He didn't want that. "Turn around." He ordered. She did. Within a second, he found her opening. He positioned himself, and in one swift move his entire length pressed inside of her.
"Ahhhh." Kim's knees buckled. She held on to her sheets, and she felt the long, deep strokes. "Handsome, cum please." She begged, knowing her body couldn't take much more.
Faster, his rocks hit against her thighs. He grabbed her shoulders to pull her onto his dick farther. He kept hitting her hilt at a jarring speed. "Fuck… ah..." He was about to cum in her. Thrusting roughly, his cum was building. The churning feeling was there, and he finally, after a few more minutes, busted inside of her. His body convulsed at the feeling. He moaned at the sensation. "Fuck, Kim." He stayed in her.
"About time." Kim breathlessly said. Her pussy was hurting. She had never been fucked like that, but she loved it. She loved that he did it. The stripper touched her clit, and she almost came again. "Tommy."
"Yeah." He lazily said.
"I love you." She declared with pride.
"I love you too." He pulled out of her. "Come on, let's take a shower." His girlfriend nodded. He helped her into the bathroom, and he began the water. "What was wrong?" He referenced the crying from earlier. The water was warm enough, so they entered the stall. Tommy placed her under the shower head, and he began to wash her hair.
Kim looked up. "I was packing when I realized-" she swallowed the lump in her throat. "It's my Mom's anniversary of her death."
He was shocked, and he looked down at her. "I'm sorry." He genuinely said to her. He hugged her, and they were both under the trickles of water. Her tiny body cried against his chest. "Hey, everything's going to be okay." He kissed her on the lips.
"I know I've always hated this time of year." Kim confessed. Tommy's fingers rubbed her head with shampoo. "I hate that she's still not here."
He hated to pull the religion card. "You know, she's always with you in spirit." He informed.
Kim didn't believe him, but she decided to accept it. "Do you really believe that?"
"Yes."
She wrapped her arms around him. "Why did my family not care for me?" Her issues with that were still unresolved. That led her to be with random men that used and abused her. She needed comfort from a man. "Am I a bad person?" Her harmless, doe, brown eyes looked up at him.
"You aren't a bad person." Tommy answered her. As for her family, Tommy knew he wouldn't mind to give them a piece of his mind. Kim's been through a lot since her mother's passing. The stories Kim's told him; he knew she's been through too much. All of that led to her using Oxycontin. "Just know, I love you."
In silence, they showered together. After about 20 more minutes, they got out the bathroom. Kim began to put lotion on herself. She lathered her body in the scent of 'Love Spell' by Victoria Secret's.
In his towel, Tommy sat on the bed, and he looked at her. "Do you still want to go to Angel Grove?" He questioned her.
"I want to." Kim stated, and she smiled at him. "I want to meet your parents." She knew he grew up differently than she did, and she wanted to see what it was like.
"They will like you."
Kim sighed. "How do you know?" Nervousness hinted in her voice.
"We will keep our secret lives separate. Don't worry about your life as a stripper, or your old drug addiction coming into any topic of conversation. Okay?" Tommy was determined to protect her at all costs.
She got up. "I believe you." She kissed him on the lips and began to pack. "Tommy, can you get out some of my regular t-shirts from the drawer?" He nodded, and she left to get some things from the living room.
Tommy got up, and he started to thoroughly rummage through her drawers. He didn't find anything that looked decent enough for Catholic parents. The third drawer showed promise, but there was something else occupying the drawer. He took out the little baggy. It had several pills inside. At first, Tommy thought they were birth control pills, but he remembered Kim gets the Depo shot. He gently opened the top of the baggy, and he looked at the pills. The circular pills, some were green, others were white, had the number '80' on one side, and the letters 'OC' on the other. He knew what these were, and there were no words to describe what he felt. His body sat in an arrested state.
Kim walked back into her room. "Handsome, did you-" Her movements were fixated at what she saw. Tommy was holding her bag of Oxycontin. Her secret-secret stash. She wanted to keep that private from him. She cursed under her breath. He was never supposed to find these. "Tommy."
His cold glare faced her. "What the fuck?" Tommy held up the bag for her. He shook his head. "You fucking said you were done with the drug life. Marijuana is one thing, but these can fucking kill you." Tommy's voice was singed with venom. His eyes weren't any better because they were stabbing her body. "Is that what you want?" Kim shook her head, almost afraid he would leave her. He got up, and his 5'11" body towered over hers. "Fucking answer me Kim. Goddamn it answer me." He threw the bag heatedly on her nightstand.
She flinced at the sound of them hitting against the wall. Tears came down her face, and she looked down at the ground. "You-you weren't supposed to find those."
He bitterly laughed. "That makes it better to have then?" He couldn't believe it. "Have you been using again?"
"No." Kim answered her shoe.
With his fingers, he forced Kim to look at him. Her eyes were red from the tears, and her nose was runny again. "Are you using again?" He slowly repeated the question.
She swallowed as she looked into his eyes. It hurt her so much to know that he was disappointed in her. "I-I-I've used again, yes." Her voice shook at the admission.
His eyes turned black. "Kim, how could you!" He yelled at her. The picture his mind and heart had painted of her was better than drug use. He can handle her smoking weed and cigarettes and drinking alcohol, but smoking Oxycontin that was really too much.
"It's not all the time!" She defended herself. "Since, I've known you it's only been twice. That's it." She placed her hand on his shoulder.
He shook off her hand. "Twice?" He stared at her. "Once again, is that supposed to make everything fucking better?"
"No."
"Then, why?" He demanded with anger. "Why the fuck do you need to do this shit?"
She was taken aback by his anger. This side of Tommy was new to her, and she was positive no one else has seen this side of him. "You don't know what I go through every single day!" She screamed back at him. "You don't know how depressed I get, or how much I beat myself up every day for what's gone on in my life." She looked at him with anger. Her tone equaled his. "When I get to the point of needing and wanting it, I do it. I smoke the pills!" She finally confessed her double life to him. Tommy shook his head. Kim sniffled. "The only thing that's gone right in my life is you!" She pointed at him. Their eyes rallied each other's. "Tommy, I love you, and you know that. But, the relationship I have with Oxycontin is greater than love sometimes." She let that sink in.
He exhaled deeply. "So, you're addicted again?" He choked out. "After everything, Kim, what about us?"
"I love you, and I will always love you." She declared once again. The tears fell faster, and she loudly sniffled. "I wanted to smoke today, oh God, when I realized it was my mom's anniversary I wanted to. But I didn't because you came, and you were by my side."
"What if I hadn't come?"
"I would've probably used." Kim bluntly stated. She grabbed his hand, and she tugged it. He was forced to look at her. "I didn't though, and it's because you came here. You are with me, and when I'm with you, I feel my strongest." She kissed him passionately.
Tommy could taste the saltiness of her tears with the kiss. God, he loved her so much. He really did, and he was happy he prevented her from smoking. However, he was very nervous about the next time a feeling to use would overcome her. What would happen when he wasn't there?
"I'm sorry I should've told you." Kim profusely apologized for her actions. She took deep breaths to calm down. Her doe, brown eyes looked into his eyes. "Don't leave me, please don't." She really couldn't handle him leaving her.
"I could never leave you, even if I tried." He confessed honestly. He held her tighter against him. "Kim, I'm going to flush those pills down the toilet." He warned her.
Kim nodded against his chest. She was thankful her backup bag of pills were hidden somewhere else.

Oliver Residence
Angel Grove, California
"Sorry, Bro, I should've told you I left early." Tommy pulled up to his parent's house. "Yeah, I know, but I came in to get my things, and that was it. Kim and I decided to hit the road."
"Bro, it's all good. Trini and I needed to get on the road anyways." Jason elaborated further. "Hopefully, we can all have a night together before school starts."
Tommy grabbed for Kim's left hand, and he kissed it. She sweetly smiled at him. "I'm sure it will happen, I'm back home, now."
"Good luck, I know Kim gets nervous around people, but she should be fine. Tell her I say 'hi'."
"Jason says, 'hi'." Tommy whispered.
"Tell him, 'hello'." Kim replied. She really did like Jason, Conner, and Rocky. She found the guys to be really sweet.
"She says, 'hello'." His voice got louder. "I guess we will see you in five days or so?"
"Yeah, guess so. By the way, Bro, if you and Kim are going to fuck, do it like late at night. That way, your parental units won't hear."
Tommy rolled his eyes, even though he was going to take that advice to heart. "Later."
"Bye." Jason hung up.
Tommy looked at Kim. Earlier in the day, there were a lot of emotions running rampant between them. Tommy flushed the pills down the toilet. Kim watched, and she wished her need for smoking Oxycontin could be flushed away easily. Things between the boyfriend and girlfriend were a lot better. He apologized for yelling at her. After she was packed, they left for his dorm. The college student grabbed his stuff, and they hit the road. After a four hour drive, they were in Angel Grove.
Kim took a deep breath. She looked at the one story home. It was very nice, white picket fence, groomed front yard, the yard was decorated with different color flowers. She saw the pink and white roses. She, also, saw the crosses that decorated the outside. She felt intimidated by them.
"Come on, Beautiful." Tommy opened up their doors. Kim hopped out, and Tommy grabbed their bags from the back. He brought one suitcase, while Kim brought three. He smiled at that. She walked behind him as they walked towards the door.
"Tommy, do I look okay?" Kim straightened out her outfit. She had on a lightweight, pink, long sleeved Henley, it was button up, and she wore a black camisole underneath. Her jeans tucked into her beige colored boots. Her hair rested comfortably on some of her back. This was the complete opposite of her time as Geo.
Tommy nodded. "You look nice." He bent down to kiss her, and they were caught up in the kiss.
Mary Beth Oliver opened the door to greet her son. The sight that greeted her was almost shocking. She loudly gasped.
That broke the kiss between Tommy and Kim. Both had a 'deer-caught-in-headlights' expression at the matriarch of the Oliver household.
"Hi Mom." Tommy sheepishly greeted with a smile. He embraced her.
Mary Beth parted. "Hello, honey." She kissed his cheek. She looked at the woman behind her son. "You must be, Kimberly."
Kim nodded. She held out her hand, expecting a handshake, but she got a hug instead. She froze at the gesture because she wasn't used to ones from a stranger, be that a woman her age or someone older. "Nice to meet you, Mrs. Oliver."
Mary Beth waved her words away. "Call me, Mary Beth." She welcomed her son and his girlfriend into her home. Before walking into the living room, she did a small prayer. Then she walked inside. "Thomas!" She called out.
Tommy placed the bags by the door. He, too, did a little prayer because he knew his mom did one.
Kim wondered what the hell she was supposed to do. She ignored the gesture, and she walked inside to stay by her comfort zone, Tommy. He was seated on the couch, and so was his mother. Kim fished for the seat next to Tommy. Part of her wanted to sit on his lap, like she normally did, but she needed to make a good impression. Tommy's arm went behind her, and he brought her in closer. She smiled at the familiar motion.
Tommy's Dad, Thomas, shuffled into the living room. He saw his son for the first time in four months. "Junior!" He smiled.
"Hey, Dad." Tommy got up. He hugged him. "This is my girlfriend, Kim." He introduced them.
"Nice to meet you too, Mr. Oliver." Kim, not leaving her spot, shook his hand.
Thomas took a seat on the recliner that faced them. "How was the drive?"
"It was nice, there wasn't too much traffic." Tommy answered. He strategically placed his left hand on Kim's right thigh.
The move didn't go unnoticed by his parents. Their eyes got big at the touch. Kim noticed, and she felt really uncomfortable. She was worried she had committed a sin, on top of the other ones she had already executed.
"So, um, Kimberly, what do you do?" Mary Beth questioned with a smile. She found her son's girlfriend to be really, really gorgeous. She saw what had attracted her son to her.
Kim looked at Tommy. He nodded with the plan they came up with. "I'm a student at Reefside University." Kim committed another sin. "I'm in one of Tommy's classes- math." She hoped there weren't too many questions about school.
"Where are you from?" Thomas queried the petite woman in front of him. He gave her a warm smile. He loved that his son put himself out there.
The stripper definitely felt more comfortable around Tommy's Dad. "I was born in Paris, France. After I was born, my parents moved us out to Blue Bay Harbor, California. Then I moved to Reefside." Kim responded without any hesitation. She was honest with her answer. Last she knew her father, stepmother, and baby half-brother were living in Blue Bay Harbor.
"Are you thirsty?" Thomas asked them. Kim and Tommy nodded. "Come on, let's get them something to drink." Thomas and Mary Beth got up. "Excuse us." They left to the kitchen.
Kim relaxed her head on Tommy's shoulder. She stared aimlessly at the contents spread on the coffee table. They were mostly religious items. Books about Catholicism, crosses, and different cds. These people definitely worshipped Jesus Christ, while Kim definitely swore by Tommy's heavenly body. An evil glint entered her eye. Tonight, she wondered if Tommy was feeling a little devilish.
Tommy kissed Kim's temple. His parents seemed to like his girlfriend. I wondered if Kim and I could get away with being together tonight. He thought in his head. He really needed to be buried in her again. That new position she showed him; he really liked it. A devilish gleam was present in his eye too.
Tommy's parents returned with glasses of lemonade. "Here you go." Mary Beth placed them down.
Eagerly, Kim and Tommy took theirs. They drank with gusto. They only stopped once during the car ride. That was to put in gas, and they didn't even eat.
"Well, it's about 8 pm. We should order pizza from Tommy's favorite place." Thomas said from his spot by the kitchen.
Kim smiled. "I'd like to try that place. Tommy talks about it all the time." She told them.
"I'll place the order." Thomas took one step into the kitchen.
That left Mary Beth to talk to Tommy and Kim alone. She altered her position, and she sat in Thomas' chair.
"So, Kim, what do your parent's do?" Mary Beth fired another question.
Kim's smile faltered, and she looked at Tommy. Her face buried deeper into his chest.
Tommy protectively covered his girlfriend. "Her mom is deceased, and Kim's estranged from her family." He told the truth.
Mary Beth covered her mouth. She had no idea Kim's home life was like that. "I am so sorry, Kimberly." Mary Beth apologized sincerely. "We should say a prayer, so your mom may rest in peace. Tommy get up, so I can sit with Kim."
"I don't think that's a good idea." Tommy commented.
"And why not?"
"I don't believe in God." Kim admitted. She watched the stunned expression surface upon Mary Beth's face. "I'm in no way trying to disregard your beliefs, but I am telling you, I simply don't believe in him."
There was nothing Mary Beth could do. She couldn't flat out call Kim a fornicator, even though, in her mind she felt Kim was one. According to Mary Beth, everyone should believe in God the way she does. Anyone who doesn't, that's all bad. Tommy knew what his mom was thinking, and he hoped the confession of Kim wouldn't make her feel uneasy around Kimberly.
Thomas walked into the room, and he sat down on the other recliner. "So, what did I miss?" He saw the look of his wife, and he looked at his son, and his son's girlfriend. He had definitely missed something, but what?
"Kimberly was telling me about her home life." Mary Beth replied. "Kim's mother died- when did you she pass away, Kim?"
"She died when I was 3, so about 19 years ago." Kim answered. His parents were stunned. "Is there something wrong?"
"You're 22?" Mary Beth incredulously asked. Kim nodded. The mother's eyes floated from her son to his girlfriend. "I had no clue. Tommy?" The age different wasn't crazy. However, that put aged Kim, and now Kim was more experienced in the world. Mary Beth had been trying to protect her son from all the God-forbidding things out there.
"I must've forgetten." Tommy revealed. "Rememeber bad memory." Kim softly giggled. "When is the food coming?" Tommy questioned to take his mom's mind off of Kim's age.
"In 40 minutes, I decided that you and I should pick it up." Thomas answered. He smiled at everyone. "Kim, why don't we show you, your room."
Kim nodded solemnly, and she descended. For the past two and a half months, Kim's bed had been occupied with two, warm bodies. Now, she had to sleep in a foreign bed without her love.
Tommy got up. "Dad, can I talk to you?" He needed to get one thing straight. Thomas nodded. "Kim, sit down for a minute."
She had a feeling what Tommy had to talk to his dad about, so she sat down. With that, Kim was very thankful.
Mary Beth followed her family in the kitchen. She pondered about her son's need to all of sudden speak up on a matter. "What's going on Tommy?" Her voice rung with anger.
"Kim's going to sleep in my room." Tommy announced with confidence.
"Oh, well then, we will show her your room." Thomas obliviously mentioned. He really had no clue what Tommy was talking about, unlike Mary Beth, shocked for the fourth time tonight, had a definite clue.
The matriarch shook her head. "That will not be happening." She whispered. Tommy looked at her. "I will not have you two sleeping in the same bed that is unholy like."
Thomas was stunned by the admission.
"She will, Kim's very skittish, and she needs me." Tommy explained. He saw his mom's disproval. "Fine, Kim and I will spend our week in a hotel. We don't want to bother you." He compromised.
"Sweetie, I don't see what the problem is. It's just a bed." Thomas mused. He knew his wife was mad, but their son was a grown man. Tommy took up the responsibility for paying half the bills in the house, so he should get to say what he wants.
Mary Beth could feel tears skimming the surface of her eyes. She didn't want to lose her son, but she held on to her faith. She wasn't sure what to do. After a few minutes, she gave in. "Okay…" She sighed. Her son was growing up at a fast pace. "I will trust you and Kim aren't having sex."
Do I lie? Yes! "I'm saving myself for marriage." Tommy lied. He knew damn well him and Kim were going to make love.
Thomas smiled. "Put all the suitcases in your room, and we can head out to pick up the food." The dad suggested.
Tommy kissed his mom on the cheek, and he walked out.
"I don't know who he is anymore." Mary Beth muttered. Thomas held her against him. He kissed the side of her temple, while she massaged his hand.
