Ch 28

The next day Kerrie woke up in her bed feeling better then she had in a long time. The hour she spent before he flight was amazing. Mike had offered to visit Boston after the holidays since they next two months were busy with family events and such. After showering Kerrie walked into her kitchen and Kayte came busting through the door using her key.

'How was it? Did you and officer hottie get together?' Kayte asked tossing her jacket on the couch and taking a seat at the table.

'Not that it's any of your business but yes, we went out.'

'Great, you should bring him to spring break. Did you talk Corrine into going?'

'No, he's not coming to spring break. You and Aimee will scare him. I tried to talk Corrine into going but it's not in her budget so it's just me, you, Aimee, Zorran, Danny, and Tony.' Aimee and Zorran had just gotten married, he was coming down a few days later. Tony and Danny were going to see the Red Sox in Fort Myers and fly into Fort Lauderdale the same day that Zorran was arriving from Boston giving the girls three days on their own.

The next two months passed by and soon enough it was New Years Eve. Kerrie was expecting Mike the following week. She drove home after meeting her parents for lunch to see Mike standing at her door with a suitcase.

'Surprise.' He said with a grin as Kerrie jumped into his arms.

'Great surprise.' She said giving him a quick kiss and opened the door. 'Have you been here long?'

'Just about 10 minutes. My flight got in a bit early. Corrine got your schedule from Kayte and I was going off that.'

'Oh... I should call the guys and cancel plans. We can stay in or go out.'

'No, you don't have to cancel plans. I'm fine doing whatever you had planned.'

'A few of my friends were actually coming over and we were going to watch Dick Clark on TV and have Chinese.'

'That's fine with me.'

'How was the flight?'

'Not to bad, no issues at the airport.'

'Are you hungary? I have some soup that I made yesterday in the fridge.'

'No thanks, I'm good.' Mike said taking off his jacket which Kerrie hung in the hallway closet.

'Well I'll give you the quick tour. This of course is the living room, here's the kitchen.' She said walking through the open door into the kitchen. 'In here is my office and Kasey's room.' At the mention of her name, Kerrie's dog jumped off her large doggie bed and pranced around happy to see a new guest.

'Wow, she's a big girl.' Mike said patting Kasey as she sat.

'A big baby.' Kasey cocked her head to the side and followed the pair into the hallway. 'In there is the bathroom and this is my room.' Kerrie said leading the way into a good sized room with two large windows.

'You have a nice place.' Mike said looking around. Kasey who was bored off the tour walked back towards her "area". Mike pulled Kerrie into a hug. 'How long before everyone comes over?'

'10ish.' Kerrie said with a grin.

'Great.' Mike pulled Kerrie towards the bed and the couple fell on top.
