Kathy sat her keys down, she looked around her apartment. It was quiet and seemed empty. "Getting ready to take off. Thanks for everything, love you mom." Kathy put her phone next to her keys. The last four days were filled with lunches, shopping trip and just spending time with Piper. Kathy tried to push the empty feeling away. She went into her bedroom, the garment dress hanging from her closet. She wanted to call Jonathan, she couldn't remember his schedule. Her focus had been on Piper while she was there. But her mind wondered to Jonathan. She wonder if he had told anyone about her. She wondered what he really thought of their relationship. She hadn't even met someone she would think of dating since she came to Vegas. This seemed to be moving fast, she missed, thought about him all the time. Her stomach filled with butterflies when she heard his voice. The littlest touch sent a shiver through her. It had been since Piper's father that Kathy had those feelings. It was as if he woke something in her.

….

Jonathan's hand stopped just before it hit the door. He felt nervous and excited all at once. It had been over a week since he had seen her. They had text a few times but it wasn't the same. The door came open, "hey," Kathy laughed seeing Jonathan standing there. He hadn't tell her he would be over, not that she wasn't happy to see him.

"Hi," it was all he could think to say.

"Want to come in," Kathy asked raising her eyebrows. Jonathan stepped in. "When did you get home?" He could lie and say last night, or earlier. Truth was he drove straight from the airport.

"Thirty minutes ago," Jonathan lowered his head. Kathy didn't say anything for a minute. Her silence cause a panic in him. What if this was too much? What if he was coming on too strong? "I should have called, you are busy," he started for the door.

"No," Kathy grabbed his shoulder, "stay."

"Look I don't so this," Jonathan walked closer to Kathy, "honestly I am an ass when it comes to woman. I didn't want a relationship, I have no time, my life is crazy. I don't know what I am doing half the time," Kathy reached for his hand.

"So what are you telling me?"

"It sounds corny and stupid," Jonathan wouldn't look at her. She lifted his chin.

"Just tell me."

"I think, I know it is really soon, but I," Kathy pulled him close she kissed him. "Love you." Jonathan pulled away. He searched her face almost wishing he could take his words back.

"It that what this is," Kathy smiled.

"Yeah I guess," Jonathan laughed.

"Glad it wasn't just me." Maybe it was love she felt. Whatever it was left her thrilled and scared.

…..

"I guess it will just be easier to meet at the hotel," Jonathan read over his text. "You give me the dry cleaning ticket, so I will pick your suit up." Jonathan couldn't remember the last time he used his phone this much. This was new, but he liked it. He liked having someone checking on him. He liked having someone to come home to.

"Someone's got you all happy," Joe sat next him. Jonathan put his phone away. "So you and Hunter," Jonathan cleared his throat.

"Yeah," Roman narrowed his eyes.

"Anyone talked to Colby, must be going out of his mind," Jonathan rubbed his hands together.

"What's going on," Joe asked.

"Nothing," Jonathan wanted to tell about Kathy but not now. "Talk about it after the show."

"Sure," Joe nodded, he knew not to press him. Jonathan kept to himself, you were lucky if he let you in.

…

"Damn it is cold," Joe rubbed his hands together holding them in front of the vents. Jonathan adjusted his seat.

"Know where we are going," he asked Joe.

"Pretty much," Joe put the car in drive. He had been wondering all night what was going on with Jonathan. He had been different for weeks. More focused, paid more attention. He even turned down going out a couple nights.

"I met someone," Jonathan said before they were out of the parking lot. Joe say nothing listening. "She lives in Vegas, I met her in her birthday, her 40th birthday. And I have spent everyday I can with her. Well not last week cause her daughter was in town. She hasn't said anything which I get. Joe I told her I love her, which I do. I think that is what this is. I never felt this way not about a girl." Joe raised his eyebrows. He never heard him like this. Jonathan was definitely a play boy, settle down was no interest to him. And he never used love in reference to a women.

"Well does she have a name?"

"Kathy she works at one of the hotels in Vegas we have this dinner thing to go to. She even picking up my suite. I don't even know if the thing still fits."

"How old is her daughter," Joe asked.

"Twenty two," Jonathan answered. "I haven't met her I want to. I want her to come to a show. It just all happened so fast." Joe had to laugh. Jonathan was all over the place. He normally was cool and level headed, take things as they come.

"Yeah I have got to meet the woman who got a I love you from Jonathan Good."

"I went right to her house last week, it was like I had to tell her," Jonathan shrugged.

"I am happy for you," Joe raised his hand.

"Sorry if I was acting weird," Jonathan had felt bad not telling his friend. It seemed too good to be true, in his life he had learned, if it felt that way. It was.

"I get it," Joe waved him off, "I do hope to meet her."

"You will, I am going to ask her to come out next time I see her," Jonathan nodded, he did want everyone to meet her. He wanted to meet her family. He just wanted to be with her.

…

"He said it," Linda yelled.

"Yes," Kathy laughed.

"Wow," Linda mouth was still open.

"I don't know, I guess that what it us. I just never had anything like this."

"When was the last time you were in a relationship," Linda knew she hadn't seen or even mentioned anyone since they had become friends.

"A really long time," Kathy confused, "I use to blame it on the mom life but, I think I just didn't want to try. Jonathan just kinda stormed into my life, but I like it."

"Well you have more time for you," Linda shrugged. Kathy had just seemed to herself focused on work. There had been plenty of time she wanted to fix her up with a friend. But Kathy showed no interest. "Piper know about him?"

"Yeah that kid went and got all grown up," Kathy laughed. "She helped me pick my dress out for Wallus disgusting display of wealth, he calls a charity event."

"I want pictures," Linda cut in.

"I want her to meet him," there were few man Piper ever met. Kathy believed if she let a man into Piper's life and it didn't work out, Piper would get hurt. Children didn't understand the in and out of adult relationships. That was a point that seemed lost on her father. He had divorced his wife when Piper was six. Kathy and her had developed a relationship for Piper. Piper looked at her as another mother. Her father didn't understand and voiced it. He figured their relationship was over and so should everyone else. Kathy tried to maintain a friendship with his ex wife but his attitude became too much. Kathy was sure Piper still stayed in touch, although it wasn't what it had once been. "Ok, I have to get back to work. You want to do drinks this weekend?"

"Yeah, Saturday around five," Linda asked.

"It is a date," Kathy smiled. Leading up to her fortieth birthday she couldn't believe she was at this point in life. She wondered what forty would bring. To her surprise so far it was very good.

…

Kathy stood looking out over the city. It amazed her how it could be so congested and spread out into complete openness. She had told Jonathan just to come to the room. Her boss had given her a suite for the night. It was nicer than her apartment. It came with an hot tub on the balcony, picture window and fully stocked bar. Kathy smiled at the two garment bags hanging. She had tried her dress on three times, she told herself she looked fine in it. She laughed at herself she was like a highschool girl at prom. The door came open, Jonathan walked in pulling his bag behind him.

"Hey there," Kathy smiled, Jonathan grabbed her for a hug. "How was your flight?"

"Crowded,"Jonathan said wide eyed. "Shit this is nice."

"I know," Kathy laughed, "I feel like I was going to mess something up." Jonathan walked around checking the room out.

"Oh hot tub," he stood on the balcony, "nice view."

"Well my boss owns me," Kathy raised her eyebrows. "Get in," she hit the switch turning the hot tub on. "Probably would feel good after sitting on a plane." Jonathan gave a shrug and started undressing. Kathy pulled the skirt she was wear up to her knees sitting on the side putting her legs in.

"You getting in," Jonathan asked submerging himself in the bubbles.

"I have to get my hair done," Kathy smiled down at him. Jonathan came over to her. He rested his hands on her knees.

"I missed you," he kissed her. Kathy couldn't hold back a moan, her body tingled as his hands ran back her back.

"Thank you for coming to this," Kathy pulled away.

"I want you to come to a show," Jonathan asked.

"Ok," Kathy agreed, "tell me when." Jonathan kissed her again, his mouth worked his way down her neck. He missed her in everyway, he missed her voice, the feel of her skin, the smell of the perfume she wore. He didn't think the plane would ever land, he couldn't wait to get to the hotel. That warm feeling that washed over him when he finally laid eyes on her. The water splashed as his body moved down in it. His hand pulled her knees apart, Jonathan's hand moved under her skirt. He pulled at the top of her underwear, cause her to pull herself up. He moved them down her legs tossing them. Kathy couldn't take her eyes off of him as he placed kisses up each leg. She tried to control her breathing, his arms wrapped around her thighs settling his head between her legs. Kathy gasped with the feel of his tongue against her. Her head fall back and eyes slammed shut. He was slow and gentle, pulling her closer to him, he couldn't get enough. "Oh my god," Kathy panted. Jonathan moved his tongue faster, circle around her. Kathy's moans urged him on. He could feel herlegs tighten under his hands and strangled scream came from her. Jonathan tongue was soft and lazy as Kathy caught her breath. He felt her fingers in his hair loosen her grip. He kissed up her lower stomach, making his way back to her mouth. "I didn't want to get your hair wet," he smirked against her lips.

"I just thought you were happy to see me," Kathy laughed.

"I am," Jonathan moved her hair from her face. "Man, what have you done to me?"

"I can ask the same thing," Kathy hugged him. "And can you fish my underwear out of the water?"
