An Unexpected Visit

Chapter Two – Decisions, Decisions, Decisions.
Previously…
She had no idea how long she had stood there staring at the two girls and reliving their history until she hard a soft knock at the front door. Startled out of her reverie she turned to answer the door until she realized she was still totally naked.
She quickly but quietly rushed into the bedroom pulling a robe from the back of the door and shrugging into it as she softly closed the bedroom door behind her. She had only just finished tying the sash when she reached the door and began to flip off the deadbolt.
As soon as she opened the door she stepped back in surprise, the man in the hallway was unquestionably Ron but it was a Ron she had a hard time recognizing. The familiar half smile was plastered on his face, but it was a face almost a foot higher than it had been the last time she had seen him.
Without a moments hesitation she literally flew into his arms and pressed herself against him feeling the solid mass of muscle that had replaced the slightly soft body she had fallen in love with. Then her head turned up as his leaned downward, their lips met and she felt a small spark of excitement ignite in her soul, Ron was back, back in her arms where he belonged.
Still standing on the threshold to her apartment their kiss lasted until Kim was forced to reluctantly pull back so she could inhale a deep breath. She simply stood there as Ron smiled down at her. "Boy, I really missed that KP but it sure was worth waiting for."
Kim smiled widely and only then realized he was still standing in the hall. She started pulling him inside until he chuckled. "Maybe I should get my luggage out of the hall before someone trips on it KP."
Looking down she saw two suitcases and a duffle bag next to her door and as Ron reached down for the cases she quickly grabbed hold of the duffle bag wanting nothing more than to bring him inside quickly for another kiss.
Ron had no sooner turned just after Kim had closed and locked the door than she dropped the bag and threw herself into his arms again. Pressing her head against his chest she felt her eyes watering. "I've missed you so much Ron, more than I ever thought I would."
Kim felt a pair of muscular arms wrap themselves around her back as she was almost crushed against him, her only reaction was to pull herself even closer using all the strength in her arms.
Moments later her head lifted and their lips met again, the kiss this time lasted well past the point where she needed to breathe and she found herself drawing in deep breaths as soon as Ron released her.
Finally coming to her senses she took a step back to get a better look at the man Ron had become and her eyes traveled his body from head to toe. She saw his eyes similarly traveling across her body but on their second circuit saw them stop at her breast and a confused look came into his eyes.
She felt one of Ron's hands leave her arms where they had been resting and saw it travel to the back of his neck. "Ah… KP? Why does your robe have 'Tara' written on it?"
Glancing down Kim noticed for the first time that, in her rush, she had grabbed Tara's robe instead of her own. She was about to fabricate a reply when another voice was heard coming from further in the apartment. "Because it's mine Ron, she must have grabbed the wrong one by mistake."
Ron spun to the sound of the voice leaving Kim with a clear view of her bedroom doorway. Standing in the door barefoot and wearing an almost identical robe was a smiling Tara who began moving toward them almost instantly.
Ron seemed speechless as Tara quickly covered the distance between then and wrapped Ron into a hug of her own for a moment. When she stepped back she looked up into Ron's confused face and smiled. "Welcome home Ron. You've been gone way too long."
Ron was staring at Tara oddly but he finally responded. "Ah… thanks Tara, I think so to." Then he began rubbing his neck again and looked back at Kim for a moment before returning his attention to Tara. "Ah… Tara, if Kim grabbed your robe by mistake then why does the one you're wearing say 'Bonnie' on it?"
Again the answer came from somewhere besides where it was supposed to when another voice replied. "Because neither one of the idiots took the time to get the right one that's why. It's a good thing we're all about the same size or… Holy shit! Is that you Stoppable?"
Standing in the bedroom doorway wearing yet another nearly identical robe that clearly had 'Kimmie' embroidered on the breast was Bonnie Rockwaller. The hand at Ron's neck began to rub furiously as he attempted to make sense of what was happening.
Kim, Bonnie and Tara had, from the looks of things, all been sleeping in the same bedroom and based on what he could see because of the shortness of the robes none of them was wearing much, if anything, beneath them. Bonnie especially proved that since the robe she was wearing was only loosely tied and the open front gave a clear view of nothing but skin as far as he could see.
Before he could reach any conclusion at all Bonnie spoke again. "It's about time you got home Stoppable; maybe K can stop spouting all that Ron this and Ron that garbage every waking minute of the day. Honestly, the only time she's not talking about you is when she's sleeping..." then Bonnie got an odd look in her eye and a smirk crossed her face before she added, "… well, almost anyway."
Kim had been watching Bonnie since she heard her voice and the look on her face clearly told her she was making a joke, but Ron, Ron who didn't know her like she did, Ron wouldn't know that."
Deciding she had to act fast Kim reached out and grabbed Ron's arm to get his attention. "Ron, it's not what it looks like, I can explain."
Ron turned and looked at Kim still rubbing his neck. "I certainly hope so, because I'm really confused right now."
Tara picked up on the cue immediately and walked over to where Bonnie was standing and took her by the hand. Come on Bon-Bon, let's give these two some time alone. Bonnie immediately smiled and looked at Tara. "Okay…" but as the door began to close behind them Ron clearly heard her add. "… But since we have to stay in here can we pick up where we left off before you and K fell asleep? I didn't really have time to…" Ron didn't hear the rest of Bonnie's question or Tara's reply, if any, before the door closed and the voices were muffled beyond understanding.
Ron turned back to Kim and saw her nervously biting her lower lip. Ron stopped rubbing his neck but now looked totally confused. "Bonnie, Tara and you were all in there together KP?" when Kim nodded Ron turned to glance at the door for a moment before he turned back to her. "Have you got like bunk beds or something in there?"
Kim knew she had to answer as truthfully as she could, Ron would see through any attempt to say anything that wasn't totally true. "No Ron, no bunk beds, just one queen size bed."
Ron took another glance at the door for a moment. "So the three of you… I mean you were all like in the same bed at the same time?"
Kim lowered her eyes as she answered. "Yes Ron, the three of us were sleeping together."
Ron turned his attention back to her and she saw him fighting to keep his hand from going once again to the back of his neck. "Do you mean sleeping together or Sleeeeping together?"
Rather than answer directly Kim looked back up at Ron. "Look Ron, I can explain. Really I can."
As soon as she said that she regretted it, it was like telling him flat out that the three of them had been more than simply sleeping together in that room. She hoped Ron would miss that but when she saw his jaw drop she knew he had realized exactly what she was going to try and explain.
She took a step toward Ron and her heart dropped when he stumbled back a step keeping their distance the same.
Then he stopped and his face went through a metamorphosis. He went from confused to aware then, and she was sure she was reading this right, relief. He confirmed her analysis when one corner of his mouth twitched upward into a small smile before he said. "Well KP. Go ahead and explain, I'm all ears…" then he reached up and flicked both his ears before he added, "…literally."
Kim had a hard time believing what was happening, Ron was actually cracking a joke, he actually didn't seem mad or shocked or anything, he seemed himself, completely himself."
Kim was almost speechless, how was this even possible. "Hold on a second Ron, you can't tell me you're okay with this, doesn't it bother you to know that we… we…?"
Ron smiled a real smile that, for all the world, looked like a burden had been lifted from his shoulders. "Look KP, I could really use some coffee, why don't I make us some then we can sit down and… well, there's something I have to tell you."
For a moment Kim felt relief herself until Ron walked into the area that contained her small and seldom used kitchen. As soon as she followed she realized something and her heart sank. Ron had said he wanted to tell her something just after seeming to be okay with her admitting to sleeping with Tara and Bonnie. The first thought that flashed into her mind was that he had also been unfaithful, that he had slept with someone during the time they had been apart.
She blindly took a seat at the small table knowing she had no right to be angry, after what she had done it was only fair, wasn't it?
As Ron puttered around performing the intricate procedure he claimed was necessary for a really good cup of coffee, even going so far as to get a few things from his duffle bag, she sank further into despair about what that might mean, that he might be leaving her someone else just didn't seem right, not with the greeting they had just shared at the door but she couldn't imagine anything else it might be.
By the time Ron had finished the coffee preparations and had produced two cups of the marvelous smelling brew she had all but convinced herself that Ron was leaving her for someone else no matter what she thought the kiss at the door meant.
She was slightly surprised that, when he sat down across from her, he was still smiling broadly. After taking a sip of his coffee he looked across the table at her. "Now, to answer your question, yes and no. well, I guess it's really no and yes but that doesn't matter."
Kim needed to get this over with so she dried the moisture from her eyes with the napkin Ron had placed on the table with the coffee. "But Ron, I was sleeping with Bonnie and Tara, and to avoid any confusion, yes, that means we were having sex. How can you be okay with that?"
Still smiling Ron reached out and took one of her hands in his large grip. "Look KP, there's something I've got to tell you." Kim braced herself for what she was sure was coming but was surprised when it finally came. "Ever since that brain switch thing a few years ago I… well, I could always tell when you were getting… ah… amorous. It eventually got so I could kind of ignore it, mostly anyway. Then about two years ago something changed, your… ah… feelings were deeper, more real, and I could tell that… well, I could tell you were having sex, not masturbating, but having sex, sex with another person."
Ron waited for a heartbeat before he continued. "I know I should have told you about... you know, being able to tell when you were… ah, doing things, but I just couldn't get myself to tell you, I guess I was just too embarrassed to bring it up."
Then Ron looked down at his coffee for a moment before looking back up at her. "I guess what I'm trying to say is that while I'm was a little surprised that you started having sex without at least telling me I can't tell you how relieved I am that it's with Bonnie and Tara and not with some guy named Charlie or something from the football team. Bonnie and Tara I can probably compete with, Charlie I'm not so sure. Does that make sense to you, any sense at all?"
Kim was shocked. Ron had somehow known when she had started having sex and, even though he thought it was with another guy, he had still come home to her, he had come and greeted her as though nothing was wrong, as though he still loved her as much as he always had which, given what he thought was happening, was almost impossible.
Still a bit in shock she looked across the table at Ron's smiling face. "What if it had been a guy Ron, what if this Charlie person had been the one I was having sex with, would that have made a difference?"
She saw Ron lose his smile instantly. "Nothing will ever change the fact that I love you KP. I won't say I wouldn't have been hurt, I won't even say I wouldn't have been angry, but as I see it I was the one who left you for two and a half years not the other way around. If it had been a man in your bed it… well, it would have been my fault, not yours."
When Ron's smile didn't return Kim stood and walked to his side of the table. After gesturing for him to slide his chair back she sat on his lap and wrapped her arms around his neck kissing his forehead. "Just so you know Ron, I never even looked at another man, how could I, I already had the most perfect man for me, why look any further?"
She saw Ron's smile begin to glimmer again. "Can I ask a question KP? It's really none of my business but it's been driving me batty."
Leaning back to look into his face Kim smiled. "Ask anything Ron, I'll tell you anything you want to know."
Ron's smile grew a bit. "Well, I can understand you and Tara getting together, she's a sweet girl, but… well, Bonnie? Really?"
Kim almost laughed but held it in. "Honestly Ron I was as surprised as you, at first anyway. But Bonnie's changed, she's changed a lot. In her own way she as sweet as Tara, you just have to see through her veneer that's all."
Ron smiled but his smile was a bit dimmed by the look of confusion on his face. "So about Bonnie and Tara, are they… ah… I mean are they like a couple or what?"
Kim continued to smile down at Ron luxuriating in the warmth of being in his arms again. "I asked the same question Ron and the short answer is no, they're not a couple. There are some things I can't go into because they're private but Bonnie and Tara have been together a long time and, well, their just comfortable being together like they are that's all. They have had, and in all probability will have, boyfriends but honestly I think they'll continue being as close as they are now, probably even after they get married."
Then Ron's smile dimmed a bit more. "What about you KP?"
Kim looked down again a bit confused. "What about me what Ron?"
She saw that Ron was attempting to smile again but it looked like it was forced. "I mean what about you and them? You've been with them for about two years, that's a long time, longer than we'd been together as a couple before I left. I don't want you to think that just because I'm back I'm going to demand you stop seeing them."
Kim's sharp mind had completed Ron question before he even finished asking it and her mind was in a turmoil trying to come to some sort of conclusion. She had not honestly thought this through, she had always thought she had time but now she was faced with making a decision and making it quickly.
Ron spoke into the somewhat expected silence that followed his question with a sort of solution, one that would at least give her time to make a decision but also knew his solution would not only give her a lot more to think about but possibly complicate things even further than they were.
Taking a breath Ron decided to just get it all out rather than wait. If Kim had a decision to make she should have all the facts. "I was going to stay in LA KP. I was going to ask you to move in with me, and more if you felt you were ready. But maybe I should just go back to Middleton, for a while at least. You can call me when you're ready, I've waited two and a half years to ask you, I can wait a while longer."
Kim still had no answers, as a matter of fact if she understood Ron correctly, and she was sure she had, he had just asked her to marry him. True, it had been in his normally awkward manner but the meaning of 'and more' was clear once you knew how Ron's mind worked, and there wasn't anyone on earth that knew Ron's mind better than she did.
She was still struggling with an answer when they were once again interrupted, this time by none other than Bonnie. "You better get that shit about moving back to Middleton out of your head right now Stoppable. You're staying right here with K where you belong."
Both heads at the table looked toward the sound of the voice and saw both Bonnie and Tara standing there still wearing the wrong robes. Bonnie had cinched the one she was wearing a bit tighter but, since it was slightly smaller than her own it still left a good expanse of exposed skin.
Tara was the one to speak next. "We're sorry to intrude but we… well, we smelled the coffee and after having to drink that stuff Kim calls coffee we simply couldn't stop ourselves.
Kim nervously looked at the two girls when Ron answered. "Help your self ladies, there's plenty still in the pot." Then as the two girls rushed into the kitchen toward the waiting pot Ron added. "Actually I'm kind of glad you're here. KP and I were just discussing… ah, well, honestly I was wondering where things went from here."
The two recent arrivals had already taken their first sip and were moving to the table when Bonnie spoke. "I'm not sure what you mean Ron, why do things have to go anywhere?"
Even Kim, still ensconced on Ron's lap, looked at Ron waiting for a response. "Ah… well, I mean I was kind of hoping to… I mean I was going to ask KP to…" Kim saw Ron lookup at her and saw the small smile tugging at his lips. "ah.. move in with me and stuff but… ah, I'm not sure that would be such a good idea right now, at least not until you guys… ah…"
Bonnie had just taken another sip when she interrupted him. "Why not Ron? I think K moving in with you is a great idea. You're all that girl ever thinks about for Gods sake."
Kim felt Ron stiffen slightly. "What I mean is, well, this thing with the three of you is… I mean I just wouldn't feel right making you guys… shit, I guess what I'm trying to say is that just because I came back I don't want you…" Ron paused and looked up at Kim for a moment, "… any of you, to feel I'm insisting things change that's all. I'm not that kind of guy and I don't want to cause any hard feelings between any of you…" then he looked back at Kim and kept his eyes on her. "… and especially you KP. I won't take the chance that you'll regret things later and come to blame me for it."
Kim was just digesting what Ron was implying when Tara cleared her throat to get their attention. "Well, the way I see it there are a few options here, we just have to agree on the right one."
Kim looked over at Tara. "Options, what options Tara?"
Tara sat her cup on the table and looked at each one at the table before she began ticking off her options on her fingers. "(tick one) Well, Ron can go back to Middleton like he suggested, not really a viable solution if you ask me, but still an option, (Tick two) Ron can get his own place and Kim can stay here and we can kind of… well, split our times so to speak, again, this is workable but would, I think, eventually lead to problems. (Tick Three) Then there's Ron and Kim moving in together and us, the three of us anyway, finding somewhere else to meet up, again, pretty much the same as the second option, so you know what I think of that. (Tick four) Ron getting another place and Kim moving in while we try and find some way to keep this place as, well, kind of a common area, again, see previous two options. (Tick five) Of course there's always the option of Kim and Ron being together and Kim not joining us anymore."
Tara paused and looked at Kim directly. "And I certainly hope we don't choose that one but for selfish reasons of my own I won't go into right now. (Tick six) And then there's the last viable option that would be entirely up to Kim and Ron, we could all move in together and Ron could just join us and later make any decision they wanted if Ron's 'and more' became a reality."
There were three shocked faces around the table at Tara's last suggestion, not the least of which was Ron's. Then Tara spoke again. "Honestly, I'm in favor of that last option, but again for selfish reasons of my own and I won't go into those right now."
The shocked silence remained as Tara looked from face to face at the table before Bonnie suddenly spoke into the silence. "Well T, it looks like you've thought this through but I have one condition that I just have to add."
All the faces turned toward Bonnie who now had a large smile on her face. "If we go with your last option, which has my vote by the way, but if that happens we simply have to get a larger bed…" then she looked over at Kim, "…Sorry K, but the way you sprawl all over in your sleep it would get really uncomfortable on that thing with the four of us… besides, Ron's a pretty big boy all on his own and would take up a lot of room."
Without a pause Bonnie simply smiled at each of the other three people for a moment before looking down and concentrating on her coffee as if she hadn't said a thing. Then she lifted her head and added a last comment. "Oh, and one more thing, Ron keeps making the coffee… This stuff is awesome."
Bonnie quickly drained her cup and stood. She then walked over and poured herself another cup before resuming her seat. The entire time not one word had been spoken at the table.
Kim's mind was whirling, of all the things that might have happened tonight discussing marriage, sleeping arrangements, moving in with Ron and what amounted to an orgy were not in her top one hundred things she thought she needed to prepare for.
Deciding she better make sure she had heard Tara correctly Kim looked over at the blonde wearing Bonnie's robe. "Ah… Tara? Just so I can understand this correctly, and Bonnie's comments aside for the moment, what exactly did you mean when you suggested Ron…ah, joining us?
Tara was in the process of draining the last of her coffee when she looked over at Kim. "I meant exactly what I said Kim, I don't see any problem with Ron joining us and apparently neither does Bonnie but, like I said, that's naturally something for Ron and you to decide, like I said I'm a little biased on that subject."
Kim's response didn't take long. "I get that part Tara but what I really wanted to know is what you meant by 'joining us'. Did you mean joining us like in living here, or did you mean…" Kim's eyes flicked over to the open bedroom door with an exaggerated nod of her head in that direction. "… joining us, joining us."
Tara looked behind her and, seeing that the coffee pot still had plenty of the black brew, she stood and began refilling her cup as she answered over her shoulder. "I meant joining us in bed of course, I already figured that if he stayed in LA you and he would be living together."
Ron apparently got his wits back at that moment. "Hold on Tara, you can't mean what I think you mean."
As Tara sat down again she looked over at Ron. "Well, I guess that kind of depends on what you think I mean doesn't it. What exactly do you think I meant."
Tara looked at him over the rim of her cup as she took a sip and simply waited for an answer. After a quick look at Kim who was still staring at Tara as if she had two heads Ron turned his attention back to Tara. "Well… ah… it sounded like you meant… ah… joining you guys in the bed, you know, like sleeping together and… ah, stuff."
Tara set her cup down and smiled. "Of course I meant sleeping together Ron but as for the 'stuff', well, that's completely optional. Ask Kim, we never asked her to do anything at all, she could have simply watched if she wanted, or left the room. Any sexual activities that are engaged in are entirely up to the individual."
Ron simply stared at her wide eyed and only took his eyes off her when Bonnie asked a question. "Hey Ron, where's Rufus, I thought the two of you were inseparable."
Ron's head turned toward Bonnie but his eyes stayed locked on Tara's smiling face until the last second. "Huh? Oh, Rufus got homesick so I sent him to Middleton, last I heard he kind of adopted Hanna and follows her everywhere."
Ron's head was swiveling back to look at Tara when Bonnie spoke again almost forcing him to look back at her. "Hanna, that's your adopted sister right, how is she, she must be what, four or five by now?"
You could tell Ron was distracted as his eyes kept glancing toward Tara, but he did answer. "She'll be four soon, and she's just fine, we talk almost every night."
Ron felt Kim shifting in his lap and felt her grip around his neck tighten. "What do you mean you talk almost every night? I thought there was no phone or anything where you were? You could find a way to call Hanna but couldn't find a way to call me?"
Later Ron would realize it was the distraction of the conversation he had just had with Tara combined with two and a half years of not having to hide anything that caused the slip but at the time he simply answered. "Oh, Hanna and I don't need a phone or anything to talk KP and I couldn't talk to you the same way because I can't reach your mind yet, at least not from that far away."
If Ron had been looking at Kim at that moment, which he unfortunately was not since his attention was still focused on the smiling face of Tara, he would have seen the look, the look that would have told him he had said or done something that had done the worst thing possible, it had tweaked Kim's curiosity.
Fortunately for Ron Kim had other things to think about at that moment, very urgent things. The relationship options that Tara had just outlined being the foremost of these. While Tara's last option appealed to her for some reason it seemed just a little off but, at the moment, she couldn't quite figure out why.
She looked at Tara and saw her calmly drinking her coffee with a smile still on her face and wondered what the selfish and personal reasons were that had prompted her suggestion that Ron join them in bed. Then she looked over at Bonnie and her wondering turned into confusion, no matter how much Bonnie may have changed since high school it simply didn't seem possible that she would be willing to share a bed with Ron, not after the way she always seemed to talk about him.
Then there was Ron himself, what did he think about Tara's suggestion. She knew for a fact that almost any other guy would have instantly agreed and simply asked, 'When can we start' but this was Ron, as far as she knew he, like her, was still a virgin, although she wasn't all that sure about herself at the moment considering what she had been doing for the last two years.
Even the relatively benign suggestion that she, Ron, Bonnie and Tara live together while she maintained her relationship with Bonnie and Tara and Ron stayed separate had its problems, especially knowing the other two girls as well as she did.
She had discovered early in their relationship that neither Bonnie nor Tara had the same taboos about nudity that she did, they, more often then not, simply walked around totally naked even when performing everyday acts like cooking, cleaning or simply watching television. She seriously doubted that the simple fact that Ron would be there would change that, she was even surprised that they had even bothered putting on the robes they were wearing.
Suddenly Ron yawned, and, looking down, Kim saw his eyes drooping slightly as though he was fighting to keep them open. Her query of 'Are you okay Ron?' was answered fairly bluntly. "No KP, I'm not. I've been up for almost twenty nine hours now and I'm having trouble even thinking straight. Is there any way I can just crash for a while, I can't think about any of this stuff until I've gotten a little shuteye.
Instantly Kim stood. "Didn't you get any sleep on the plane Ron?"
Ron looked up at her with a smile that belied his drooping eyes. "Actually, I was so excited about seeing you I couldn't."
Taking Ron by the arm Kim unwittingly said the first thing that came to mind. "Come on Ron, let's get you to bed."
As soon as he stood Kim felt him resisting her pull toward the bedroom and looked back at him. "Ah, actually I think I'll just crash on the couch KP."
Kim realized what it must have seemed like as soon as Ron spoke and quickly stopped her pull toward the bedroom. "Oh, yea, sorry Ron. You go ahead and lay down and I'll get you a pillow and blanket."
Kim rushed off to the hall closet as Ron made his stumbling way toward her couch with a mumbled "goodnight ladies" but by the time she had retrieved the blanket and pillow and followed him he was already laying on his stomach and fast asleep. Kim smiled before bending down and pulling the shoes from Ron's feet, then she covered him with the light blanket and set the pillow within reach in case he awoke.
