Here you go guys, kind of short, but it's a little filler to set up some stuff that happens later. Don't forget, add me on facebook ThatDreamer GirlWriter!
McKayla sighed as she looked towards Kai's room. Her baby was sick, still. It was worrying her that he was still sick, but the doctor said since he was so young and so little it would take a few days for it to leave his system, but as she listened to him cry about hurting McKayla's heart hurt horribly. Although, today he was seeming better
Luckily it was a Saturday so McKayla was not meant to work, allowing her to spend the day watching her baby. Suddenly there was a knock on her front door. It wasn't the knock of Sheldon, so she opened it. McKayla was shocked to see Leonard standing there smiling at her.
"Sheldon's a jerk."Leonard looked at her as she nodded with a smile. "Though you could use some company, plus you promised to show me some of your artwork."
McKayla laughed as she invited him in. She led him to her small office, where she kept all of her work. She showed him the folder and bin, where she kept them. After a moment Kai called for his mother, to which McKayla rushed off to him. She walked back in minutes later laughing.
"I guess he's over it, he just asked for chicken nuggets and chocolate milk, and wants to know when he can go to the park." She laughed, but Leonard could see the look of relief on her face.
"Why don't we go to McDonalds and then the park? You can tell me more about you. I'm curious as to how you and Howard grew up to differently."Leonard looked at her nervously. He knew it was a long shot, but he figured why not.
McKayla smiled and agreed as she went to ready Kai for the park. Half an hour later they were leaving her apartment. As they walked down the stairs they passed Penny. Leonard awkwardly said hello when she asked where they were going. When they informed her of their little three person date she looked surprised. McKayla caught the hint of jealousy, but brushed it off as they continued on their journey.
McKayla smiled as she sat on the park bench with Leonard. He was really sweet and friendly. Kai was completely recovered, and begging to go to his friend, whom he ran into at the park, house. McKayla complied, so he was currently in the car on his way too his friends house. Leonard had received a text from Howard saying they were going to a club tonight if they wanted to join. The two had agreed.
After a few more minutes the two stood up and made their way back to the apartments. They were going to get dressed before heading to Leonard and Sheldon's apartment. Throughout the time at the park McKayla had glared at Leonard when he mentioned Sheldon, obviously still annoyed at the other man, so Leonard dropped it.
At eight o' clock Leonard answered the door to smile at McKayla, she was wearing a simple blue jean dress with cowboy boots, her hair braided and spilling over her shoulder. Leonard smiled at her and she laughed as he made a comment about her being a cowgirl. The group, minus Sheldon, left the apartment for a fun night.
McKayla let out a laugh has she and Bernadette danced together to a song. The two were singing loudly in their drunken state. Howard stood by the bar with Leonard and Raj as he watched his sister and Bernadette.
"You still going to kill Sheldon?"Leonard watched as Howard's grasp on his drink tightened.
"That bastard messed with the wrong girl Leonard. He chooses now to suddenly become interested in women? Why her? Why not Amy, then at least when he said it was a mistake I don't have to watch her cry about it."Howard growled slightly.
"What is this really about Howard?"Leonard watched Howard's shoulders tightened.
"Look, Kai's dad was murdered almost five years ago. I had to watch as my sister went to and from doctor's offices, I sat with her through a suicide attempt, and her recovery. Since then she has dated on and off, always the guys who you honestly think are good, until they meet Kai. Some of them blow her off then and there, sparing her hurt. Most of the guys stay with her and pretend to love Kai, and plan a future with her. After they sleep with her or make her fall in love, they leave." Howard looked at his sister again. "She falls for guys way too easily. She's naïve in that way. She sees beauty and love in everyone, no matter who it is, and she crashes and burns every time. I'm tired of seeing her hurt Leonard.
Leonard looked at Howard, shocked. He had never heard Howard speak that way. It was obvious he cared for his sister, and would do anything to protect her, or take care of her. Leonard continued drinking his drink before laughing as Raj asked McKayla to dance.
McKayla was surprised when Raj asked her to dance, but agreed anyway. After a song or tow she looked at him curiously.
"You can barely look me in the eye any other night, but here you are grinding against me? What the frack dude?" Raj laughed at her words, sounding a little like her brother for a moment.
"Alcohol, anxiety medicine." Raj mumbled out, in his drunken state, causing McKayla to wonder exactly how many he had already drunk.
Throughout the night McKayla laughed and drank. She danced with everyone from their group and a few strangers, before they decided to call cabs and head home. She immediately went to her apartment and passed out on her bed, barely kicking her boots off in time.
