AN: First I wanna apologize for not updating, or the fact that it took me this long to update this story. I sorta had a writer's block not to mention, I really didn't have internet connection for awhile until now. Also I didn't think anyone was still reading this story honestly. But since I got a new review and a new follower.Which I do appreciate. I have a reason to update again. So let this story continue.
Kimberly was in the middle of getting ready to go to Jason and Trini's for dinner with Tommy. Ever since Kimberly met with Adian and had that conversation with him yesterday at the cafe. Kimberly has been trying to figure out she was gonna tell Tommy. All day she's been trying to come up with any kind of explanation of why her ex is here. But unfortunately she couldn't think of anything.
The last thing Kimberly wants to do is keep this secret from Tommy, and even though she swore there's absolutely nothing going on between her and Aiden which is true. She's just not sure how Tommy will actually take the news that the reason why Aiden is even here because he wants her back. She knows Tommy could handle the divorce since he and Kat are officially divorced. Kimberly blew out some air as she thought maybe she should talk to Trini about it and see if Trini could give her some kind of advice of how to tell Tommy.
" Hey about ready to go?" Tommy asked as soon as he walked into the room and found Kimberly standing in front of the huge mirror. While Tommy kept staring and checking her out he couldn't help but think how beautiful his girl looks right now especially in that little red dress. But of course Kimberly always looked beautiful no matter what she was wearing.
Kimberly looks back at him through the mirror as she smiles slightly." Yeah just about. "
Tommy walked up to Kimberly as he wrapped his arms around her waist as he leans down and slowly starts to kiss her shoulder blade, heading towards her neck up to her ear as he nibble against her earlobe." I was thinking, maybe we can skip dinner. I'm sure Jason and Trini will understand. " He whispers huskly against her ear.
Kimberly groans softly as she bit her bottom lip." Mhmmm, as much as I want to. We can't skip dinner. We both promised them that we would be there." She said as she looks up at him." But I promise you will have me later tonight."
" Mhmmm, I will hold you too that." Tommy whispers against her lips as he kisses her deeply and passionately as he slides his hands and fingers through her hair as he pulls her even closer to him.
Kimberly smiles against his lips as she slowly pulls back." We should get going." She said as she grabs Tommy's hand as she walks out of their room with them as they both head out of the front door. Tonight all Kimberly wants to do is have dinner with Tommy and couple of their friends and try to forget about what happened yesterday.
All through dinner they all mostly talked about Aisha's birth which will be soon, and both Trini and Kimberly can't wait to meet Aisha and Adam's new baby girl, they're really excited about it. After dinner as Tommy and Jason went upstairs to spend time with Jason and Trini's son while the girls stayed in the kitchen to have some girl talk.
" So, how's work been? Students giving you a hard time?" Trini asked with a chuckle as she set a cup of hot tea in front of Kimberly before she sat back down across from her and took the first sip of her hot tea.
Kimberly shrugs her shoulders. " Not lately." She answered as she picked up her cup and took a few sips of her tea before setting the cup back down." But other than that works been kinda busy, which I can definitely handle. " She chuckled lightly.
Trini nods her a little. " Things seems to be going great between you and Tommy."
Kimberly smiles as she nods her head." Yeah everything is going amazing between us." She said as she looks down at her tea for a moment.
" Kim?" Trini asked with concern.
" Hmm?" Kimberly asked as she looked up at her best friend.
' Is everything okay?"
Kimberly exhales deeply as she shook her head." not really. "
" Is it Tommy?"
Kimberly shook her head quickly. " No, of course not. Like I said Tommy has been amazing. It's just." Kimberly sighs softly as she looks down for a moment She then looks at Trini again." If I tell you something, can you promise me that you won't tell Tommy or Jason for that matter."
" Of course, but are you sure you wanna keep it from Tommy?"
" For now, at least until I'm ready to tell him. The thing is that my ex, is in Angel grove."
" Ex? As in?"
" As in ex husband. " Kimberly answered with a sigh.
" Oh, wow. I had know that you were married before. I mean I know you were seeing someone in Florida, but yeah I had no idea that you were married. Was it the same guy?" Trini asked.
" Yeah, his name is Aiden. He was part of my Olympic team back in Florida. A few months after we dated he asked me to marry him, of course at first I said no, mostly because I thought it was too soon for us to get married at the time, plus it was only a few months since I sent that letter to Tommy." There's could've been another way to break up with Tommy, she could've called him but instead she took the easy way out and broke up with him in a letter. And even though things are going great between them and all of it is the past, Kimberly still regrets it.
" A year after we got married, I was um... I was pregnant. "
" Was? What happened?"
Kimberly exhales deeply. " I was under lot of stress. Adian and I were having problems. I had a miscarriage. We um we were trying again, but I just couldn't get pregnant again. About a couple years later I found our Adian was cheating on me." Kimberly paused for a moment to take another drink of her tea that was still warm.
" How did you find out, about him cheating?"
" One night while Adian was in the shower, his phone kept viberating and of course I answered it because I thought it was one of his buddy that had called. Since he said he was gonna meet them at a bar. Well as soon as I said hello, I heard a woman's voice on the other end. So that's when I knew."
" And that's when you filed for divorce. " Trini clarified.
" Mmm, actually I filed divorce when he told me that his mistress was pregnant."
" Oh Kim, I'm so sorry. " Trini said with sympathy.
Kimberly shrugs her shoulders. " Thanks, it hurt for awhile but after awhile. I moved on and accepted that our marriage wasn't gonna last forever, so one day I finally decided I had enough of Florida and moved back home."
Trini nods her head in understanding." So, what is your ex husband doing in Angel Grove?"
" He's the new art teacher at the high school. But of course he says he's here for me." Kimberly answered with a n eye roll as she shook her head in disbelief.
" What are you gonna do?"
Kimberly shrugs her shoulders as she shook her head once more." I don't know. I don't even know how I'm going to Tell Tommy. I mean he deserves to know, but I just don't know how though." Kimberly hates keeping this from Tommy since Adian is in town, she just hopes that they don't cross paths any time soon.
When Tommy and Jason walked back into the kitchen Tommy leans down and kisses Kimberly gently on the lips." Hey are you about ready to go home?"
Kimberly nods her head as her and Trini stood up from the kitchen table." Yeah." She answered as they walked into the living room. As Jason and Tommy walked out of the front door first, Kimberly stayed back as she looks over at Trini.
" Please don't tell Jason."
Trini shook her head." Don't worry I won't say anything I promise. But don't keep this to yourself for very long. That man out there. " Trini said as she nods her head towards Tommy." He loves you Kimberly Hart and he deserves to know the truth."
Kimberly nods her as she gave Trini a small smile. " Thanks Trini, good night." She said as she walked out the front door and towards Tommy's car. After Kimberly said goodnight to Jason and got herself buckled in as soon as Tommy backed out of their driveway and head back home.
" So, what were you and Trini talking about?"
Kimberly shrugs her shoulders." Nothing really, we just been talking about Aisha's birth and how happy we are for her and Adam." Kimberly said with a smile as she looks out the side of the car window.
" Hey, you okay over there?" Tommy asked with concern as he reached over and grabbed her hand.
Kimberly looks back at Tommy as she nods her head a little." Yeah, everything is fine Tommy. I'm just little tired. " When the time is right and when she's ready, Kimberly will tell Tommy her secret. But right now she just can't tell him yet.
Tommy could feel something wasn't right, he could tell by the look on Kimberly's face. But tonight isn't the night to ask her what's really wrong. So instead Tommy didn't say anything as he lifted her hand up towards his lips and gently kisses the back of her hand.
