Chapter 91: Kay's Apartment
Tuesday, January 3rd, Evening
The wind battered against the windows. It was the winds that came off the lake. She bundled up to be comfortable from the winter weather. She was southern, maybe not born, but raised, so not only was this cold, it was outright freezing. Taking a seat in her chair, she pulled up the comforter to warm her thin blood. Pulling over her laptop she logged on.
"We really need to get another chair or a love seat," another woman said, as she came over carrying a folding chair.
"Why? I can only sit on one at a time," Kay Scott said.
"For when I'm over," Ivy said and set up the folding chair.
"Oh," Kay said and started moving her right shoulder.
"Is your shoulder acting up?" Ivy asked.
Kay nodded, "Yeah, the cold is triggering it," she said.
"Do you want the heating pad?" Ivy asked.
Kay looked up and smiled, "Yes, please, and a pill too," she said.
Ivy nodded, "Have you taken a pill already?" she asked.
"No," Kay said.
"Okay," Ivy said and retrieved the heating pad and a pill. She returned and have Kay her pain pill, and started to set up the heating pad. After the pad was situated, Ivy tucked Kay in and gave her a kiss. Ivy took a seat on the folding chair.
"So, who's playing?" Ivy asked.
"Tree Hill girls versus Masonbourgh girls," Kay said.
"High school?" Ivy asked.
"Yes," Kay said.
"Why do you listen to your old high school basketball games?" Ivy asked.
Kay shook her head, "Because my Dad is the coach, and my sister is a cheerleader. I can hear her every so often on the broadcast," she said.
Ivy nodded, "So, are we going to be listening to a decent game tonight?" she asked.
Kay shook her head, "Oh no, Tree Hill should clobber them," she said.
Ivy shook her head, "That doesn't sound like fun," she said.
"Trust me it's not fun to play either," Kay said.
Ivy shook her head, "That doesn't sound like fun," she said.
"You didn't do sports or club in school?" Kay asked.
Ivy shook her head, "Sort of," she said.
"What club was that?" Kay asked, curious.
"The type that smoke in the girl's room," Ivy said.
Kay laughed, "Not that type of club," she said.
"I know that," Ivy said, "I couldn't do anything, I had to help my Dad and uncles."
Kay nodded, "I know the feeling," she said.
"How so?" Ivy asked.
"I worked at my Dad's club and Mom's recording label," Kay said.
"Awe poor thing," Ivy said, "They sound like awesome jobs."
Kay shrugged with just her left shoulder, "Maybe they were," she said.
"So, now that we've been sidetracked all over the map," Ivy said.
"Okay?" Kay asked, confused.
"I was going to ask why you invited me over to listen to a possibly a blowout high school basketball game," Ivy said.
"Well, I did feed you," Kay said.
"I brought over the meat and cooked," Ivy said.
"I did the rest," Kay said.
"And complained about your shoulder and the Doctors the whole time," Ivy said.
Kay did her one-shoulder shrug, again, "I guess you got me there," she said.
Ivy nodded, "I do," she said, "So, Kay why did you invite me over?"
Kay smiled, slightly, "For dinner, to spend some time with you," she said.
"Awe," Ivy said.
"And if everything goes right, breakfast in the morning," Kay said.
"Awe, Kay!" Ivy said.
"What?" Kay asked.
"You're trying to be thoughtful," Ivy said.
"Trying?" Kay asked.
"Yes, trying," Ivy said.
Kay shrugged her one-shoulder shrug, "What type of chair do you want?" she asked.
"How about a love seat?" Ivy asked, with a hint of mischief in her voice.
"Why a love seat?" Kay asked, cluelessly.
"So, we can share it," Ivy said, "You never cuddle."
Kay shook her head, "Not really, I didn't even know what cuddling was until you told me," she said.
"What was your last relationship like?" Ivy asked curiously.
"The danger zone," Kay said.
"An Archer Reference?" Ivy asked.
"Yeah, let's go with that," Kay said.
"So, a love seat?" Ivy asked.
Kay nodded, "Yeah, sure, we can go to Goodwill and see what they have," she said.
"Put that on ice, let me ask around maybe I can find one someone in my family isn't using," Ivy said.
"How are we going to get it here?" Kay asked.
"I have brother and cousins," Ivy said, "Plus I have access to a delivery truck."
"Brother and cousin?" Kay asked.
Ivy nodded, "Yes, big strapping Polish ones," she said.
Kay nodded, "I guess that works," she said.
"It's not like they're going to wreck the place," Ivy said, "Much."
"Okay?" Kay asked, confused.
"I'm joking, they're fine, and I'm their princess, they'll do anything for me, as long as I ask," Ivy said.
"Sure," Kay said, confused.
"How's the shoulder feeling?" Ivy asked.
Kay nodded, and moved her right shoulder a bit, "Better," she said.
"That's good," Ivy said.
Kay smiled, "Pre-game," she said.
"Well, let's get ready to listen to high school basketball," she said, sarcastically.
"Yes, we are," Kay said and smiled.
