She sighed and blew her bangs out of her eyes. "Where the hell is Em?!" she thought to herself. "She always lets me screw myself over and then she shows up and tells me what I'm doing here."
The door suddenly slammed open and Kacey let out a short screech in surprise and momentary fright. She jumped back just as a man walked out.
"Very mature Larry, just walk away then!" came a shout from inside the building.
"At least I don't throw fits and break stuff Bill," the man who was standing by her shouted back.
Kacey thought the man sounded and looked familiar.
"At least I don't drink away my sorrows."
"Shut up!" the man yelled, slamming the door. Just then Kacey placed him.
"Larry Hagman!" she squealed.
The man jumped a little and spun around. "Jesus, Krysta, you gotta stop just appearing out of no where like that! This is the last time, right? Promise?"
A smile involuntarily grew on her face and she gave him a sly wink. "Whatever you say," she replied, pulling a sucker out of her backpocket, pulling the wrapper off, and shoving it into her mouth.
"Oh, you know I still love you." He draped his arm around her shoulder and they walked down the staircase together. He lead her to a nice car, a convertible with a rag top. He lead her over to the passenger side door and opened it for her. As she slid in, he pinched her butt. She looked up at him with a sexy look and raised an eyebrow at him.
She wasn't a slut or anything, she just had always wanted to jump Larry Hagman and now she had the chance. She couldn't help but act a little slutty.
He shut the door and got in on the drivers side. By then, his smile was gone and his face was set in a frown.
Bad day?" she asked as they drove away.
The genuine concern in her voice and on her face surprised him. She usually didn't give a damn. "No, I'm fine, just a little fight with Bill. Nothing to pout over."
"Are you sure? If you need to talk, I'll always listen," she said, lightly setting her hand on his shoulder.
He glanced over at her with a big smile on his face. "You know, that just made my day."
"Good, I like seeing you happy. You look so cute when you smile."
He pulled over by a corner store. "Do you want a soda?" he asked, turning towards her.
She gigled a little, smiled, and nodded. "I'll be right back," he said, giving her a quick kiss on the cheek, undoing his seat belt, jumping out of the car and into the store.
Kacey sighed and checked out how she looked in the mirror. She gasped. She looked exactly like herself but with a clearer face.
"Hey Kace, what's shakin'?" Emily asked, appearing beside her.
"Where have you been? I feel like a total moron! He's not my father is he?!"
"A father that pinches your ass? C'mon, get real."
"Hey it happens." Emily gave her a skeptical look. "If you're just here to pester me, then go away."
"Yeah but I bet you want to know why you're here. I think you'll like it this time."
"Ooo, tell me, tell me, tell me!"
"Well," she looked around and whispered in her ear.
"I'm here to fuck Larry Hagman?!" she said a little loud. "Oh my God!"
"Ssh, keep it down."
"Sorry."
"You know he had a drinking problem. Well the girl you are right now, well it's kind of like Lolita. She's a heartless bitch and she eventually leaves him for a younger man. He found her begging on the streets and got her an apartment but today is the day that she's moving in with him. See, when she left him, he turned to drinking and screwed up a lot of stuff. Your name is Krysta Cassel. The wierd thing is, you look almost exactly like yourself," she told her, showing her the b-pad that had all the information on the girl she was.
"Wow, what a total bitch. Oh, here he comes, when I need you I'll call." Emily disappeared just as Larry got back in the car. He handed her a coke.
"Thank you very much," she said gladly accepting it and taking a drink. Her bangs fell into her eyes again and she tried to blow them away.
"Here," he said, brushing them out of her eyes. His hand lingered for a second on her cheek. She looked up at him with a little smile and locked eyes with him. He quickly drew his hand back and looked away.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong? Tell me." Silence. "You're being evasive."
"What's wrong with me, what's wrong with you? First you're super bitch of the world and all of a sudden you're emotions girl."
"Geeze, some people change you know. You don't have to be defensive. There's nothing wrong with a little PDA."
"And what does that mean?" he questioned, starting the car and pulling away from the corner.
"Public Display of Affection. It's not as it we were making out or screwing or anything like that."
The mouthful of coke that was in his mouth got sprayed all over the dashboard when she said that.
"You are so lucky the top isn't down," she said with all seriousness. Then she started to giggle and soon was laughing so hard she was crying.
"It's not funny," he spat as soon as she'd stopped laughing. She leaned against the car door and stared at him smiling. He glanced over at her and tried not to break into a smile himself. "Do you have your stuff?" he asked, trying to be serious but breaking into a smile. "What?"
"What? I didn't say anything."
"Why are you staring at me?"
"Because you're handsome and you're sweet. And you made the mistake of giving me caffine."
His smile widened and his eyes lit up. He was absolutely adorable! Kacey kept smiling at him with content. Then Emily appeared.
"Tell him you hafta go to your place to pick up some stuff. Be really nice because originally they have a fight here, he threatened her, and that was what made her make up her mind to leave."
Kacey sighed. It never got any easier. If she screwed this up, she might end up staying here.
"Sweetheart," she said softly with a sing-song tone. He almost spit out his pop again but he managed to swallow at the last second. "Do you think we could quickly swing by my place and pick up a few things I forgot? It won't take more than a few seconds, please." She put on an innocent face and did the puppy dog eyes.
He sighed testily. "I told you to be ready," he spoke in a cold tone. "Do you remember anything I say?!"
"I cherish every word you speak that I hear. Please, I rushed out to meet you so fast that I forgot my bag. I'm sorry, can you ever forgive me?"
That got him. "Fine!"
Ten minutes later, he stopped in front of an apartment building. It wasn't that big, five stories. It was in a crummy neighbourhood and the place was pretty shabby.
"Make it quick."
"I will," she relied, quickly brushing her lips across his. She quickly walked into the building, Emily following her on her heels. "Men! So easy to please."
"Girl, you are good! Apart 103E. You've got him wrapped around your little finger."
"Has history changed?"
"Nope, you still gotta fuck him. Bet you're really disappointed," she said sarcastically.
Kacey was just about to her apartment when a sleezy looking guy walked in front of her door.
"Hey K, what's shakin'?" the guy asked her, checking her out.
"OK, now this is Vick, the guy you leave Larry for. He stole my saying, he's already a cheese ball."
"Go away Vick, I'm not in the mood."
"C'mon baby, you know you want me."
"No, Vick, I don't want you, I want Larry. Now fuck off." That obviously made him mad, he raised his hand to slap her and she shut her eyes and braced for it but he ran off when someone started up the stairs.
"Krysta, you forgot your keys," Larry said, coming up behind her. He handed them to her and saw the fright in her eyes. "What happened? Was it that Vick guy again?"
She nodded and made herself cry. She hugged him, grabbing him by total surprise. He rubbed her back a little, opened the apartment, and lead her inside. Kacey winked at Emily and then buried her face into his arm.
He lead her over to the couch and they both sat down. He put his arm around her and pulled her close. She got up and slid onto his lap and hung onto him around the neck. He hesitated for a second and then he wrapped his arms around her.
"I feel like Santa Clause," he mumbled, trying to cheer her up. Kacey giggled a bit, smiled, and pulled back far enough to look at him. He stared at her with a lustful look in his eyes. She shifted on his lap and sniffled a little. He reached out and brushed a tear from her cheek. He brought his hand back to rest on the smooth and silky skin of her cheek. She closed her eyes and nuzzled his palm
She opened her eyes and looked at him. At the same moment, they both went for it. Their mouths clashed like lightning. When they broke away, they were both gasping for breath.
They were about to kiss again when Emily appeared. Kacey hesitated but he was still locked in the moment. He kissed her forcefully and moved his hands down to her shirt, fumbling to undo the buttons.
"You can't do it now Kace, it'll screw up history even more!" Emily quickly spat out.
In hearing that, Kacey jumped up from Larry's lap. He looked surprised, puzzled, disappointed, and a little angry. "What's wrong?"
"I . . . it's . . . uh . . . the . . .," she sighed, "I can't. I'm sorry, it's not you I swear. It's just that, it doesn't feel right. Not here, not now."
"Well I think now is a perfectly good time," he nearly shouted, jumping up from the couch.
"Well I don't! You have to let me get comfortable and get use to the idea."
"What idea?"
"You! You're older and more experienced and you're going to think I'm not good. Plus you're famous and the media is going to be all over this and make it into something it's not. Plus I'm playing second fiddle to you in looks and glamour and everything. I'm not use to not having all the attention." She let her head droop and just stood there, staring at the floor. She expected him to freak out and yell at her.
He walked over to her and pushed her chin up so she was looking him straight in the eye. "I love you and I always will, no matter what you know or have done or what you don't know or haven't done. You're beautiful, more beautiful than I am handsome."
She cut him off with a snort. She turned her head away and sputtered, "Yeah right!"
"It's true," he insisted. "And you're going to have more attention then you can handle because you're going to have all my attention!" he, once again but more insistingly and carefully, turned her head and pushed up her chin. He slowly pushed his lips against her and tenderly kissed her.
When he pulled away, he opened his eyes instantly. She was still standing there with her eyes closed, she was irrestible! He pulled her into a hug and held her tightly. He loved the feeling of her against him. Her presence spread peace in his mind and relaxation in his body.
He pushed her away and told her to get her stuff. He went back out to the car to wait and think. Something had changed about Krysta but he didn't know what. The way she held and regarded herself was different and the way she treated him had totally changed for the better. It was as if she'd undergone a total attitude change.
In less than five minutes, Kacey had her stuff packed up, with Emily's help, and was on her way out. She even had the teddy bear that Larry had given her for her birthday that she was suppose to hate. She planned on sleeping with it, it was really soft and really cute.
She threw her bag in the back seat and sat down in the front.
He turned and smiled at her as he started the car. He turned back to the road, put the car in drive, and pulled away.
So what do ya think?! TELL ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
