Part 6
�Happy New Year!�
�Hey, Kasey!� Jenna said into her phone. She was walking though Manhattan, headed towards the studio she was meeting Robyn and the other girls. �And it�s not the New Year yet.�
�Were the hell are you? It sounds like you�re in the middle of Times Square.�
She laughed. �Actually, I am in New York City.�
�Are you serious?�
�Yeah, I�m serious,� she said pushing her way through the crowds that were gathered on the sidewalk. �Remember when I saw you here and I told you I was here for job stuff?�
�Yeah, I remember.� He also remembered every detail about their night together. He thought about it all the time. Especially when he laid in bed at night, alone. I�ve been jacking off like a 14-year old lately, he thought to himself. Must have something with being back in my parents� house.
�Well, I was here for an audition for a dance company that performs up an down the east coast and I got the job. So I had to come to the City for some rehearsals and fittings and stuff.� She had was running a few minutes early, so she ducked into a little coffee shop and sat at a table.
�Jenna, that�s great! You said you missed performing.�
She was surprised he remembered. �So, how was Christmas with the Kahne�s?�
Since she last saw Kasey in New York, they talked a few times, but never for an extended amount of time. He was back in Washington visiting his family and Courtney had made it a point to keep her busy. The first time he called her was the day after the NASCAR banquet. It took all she had not to ask about the clingy blonde that was on his arm, but she managed not to. She last talked to him a week before, on Christmas Eve.
�Christmas with the Kahne�s was crazy, the way it always is,� he said to her as he walked around his childhood bedroom. His shelves were full of trophies from his sprint car days and pictures of him on the track. He picked up a picture sitting in front of him. It was Jeff Gordon. Gordon was his idol when he was younger and now he was racing against him every weekend. �And I liked that. It�s cool to come home and just be �Kasey�, not �Kasey Kahne�. I�m just one of them when I come home. The same geeky kid who used to run around on my hands and knees with a football helmet on my head making motor noises.�
Jenna laughed. �Now THAT is something I would love to see!�
�I�m sure my mom has it on video somewhere around here.� He lay down on his bed. �So, I�ll be back home on Sunday, and Monday is when it starts getting crazy for me. I was just gonna chill out, play video games all day, you know. But why don�t we get together and do something?� That was so lame, he thought to himself.
�I have a lot of work to do Sunday. My evaluations of my students are due next week and I haven�t finished them all yet, but they shouldn�t take too long to finish, they are only Kindergarteners, after all. Why don�t you come to my place at around seven o�clock and we can hangout for a little bit.�
�Sounds good to me,� Kasey said. For a minute there I thought you were going to turn me down! �Where do you live?�
Jenna rattled off her address to Kasey. �I hate to cut this short, but I have to go. I can�t be late for this meeting.�
�So I�ll see you on Sunday.�
�Bye Kasey.� She flipped her phone shut and rushed off to Robyn�s studio. She told herself that her heart was beating because she was nervous to meet all the other girls. But she knew the real reason. I get to see Kasey in two days!
*******************************************************
Kasey closed his phone and stared up at his ceiling. I wish I could see her right now, he thought
�Yo, Kase!� Kale said throwing open the door to his room. �What�s the plan for tonight?�
�Damn it, Kale! Don�t you ever knock?� Kasey said sitting up on his bed.
�Nope!� Kale said sitting in the chair at Kasey�s desk and picking up a die cast that was sitting there.
�I don�t know what�s going on for tonight,� Kasey told his younger brother. �I assume it will be the same thing we do every year; getting some beers and getting drunk at someone�s house.�
�Whatever,� Kale said. �Ready for hell month to begin? Daytona is less than two months away.�
�Yeah, I guess,� Kasey said. Even though he lost the rookie stripe this year, he was going to be even busier than ever getting ready for the season; especially with running the new Dodge. He knew Ray was counting on him to come out of the box strong. Kasey knew he did a great job as a rookie, but he felt like he let Ray and the guys down when he didn�t make it into the Chase. He wanted to win at Daytona more than anything.
�Whadda ya say to a PS2 marathon on Sunday? I can call some of he crew guys over and we just chill all day.�
�I�m going to head over to Jenna�s at seven, but I�m cool up until then.�
�Whoa, dude,� Kale said putting down the die cast and turning toward Kasey. �I thought she ditched your ass that night after the club?�
Kasey realized he hadn�t had the chance to really talk with Kale since they got to their parents�. �She did, but I kind of ran into her in New York�
�What?� Kale looked at him dumbfounded. �Kasey, I�m not only your brother but your best friend and you didn�t tell me this? Spill. Now.�
Kasey told Kale about running into Jenna in Barney's and her coming to stay with him at the Waldorf, but leaving out the dressing room, hot tub and shower. Kale almost fell off his chair laughing when Kasey told him about the incident with Dale Junior and Jamie.
�Shit, man! I would have paid to see the look on Junior�s face!� Kale told him. �You�re such a pimp, I mean, bangin� Jenna one night and Mandy the next��
�I didn�t �bang� Mandy, Kale.�
�You mean you had your ex-girlfriend, who is totally in love with you still, in your bed and you didn�t slip it in her?�
�Oh, I slipped it in her, but I didn�t do much else.� Kasey stood up and looked out the window at the snow that was falling steadily.
�What does that mean?�
�You have to promise not to laugh, Kale.�
�Kase, if you start it that way��
�Oh, fuck it, I laughed, too. I passed out in the middle of it.�
�You what?� This time, Kale did fall off the chair.
�I fucking passed out with my dick inside of her! Can you believe that?� Kasey said between laughter. �If I hadn�t done Jenna four times in less than twenty four hours, then I�d be asking Mark Martin for some Viagra.�
�Impressive. So what�s up with you and Jenna� Kale asked.
�Nothing�s up with me and Jenna. We�re just having fun, you know. Hanging out.�
�And she�s okay with that?�
�Yeah, she�s okay with it. Jenna was the one who brought it up. She said she isn�t in a place in her life where she wants a relationship right now.�
Kale shook his head chuckled. �A girl who likes racing, is a school teacher, is a great dancer and likes having sex? And doesn�t want a relationship? That is one cool girl you found, Kase.�
�Yeah, she�s pretty cool.� Kasey said, smiling.
�So just watch it. Okay, Kase?� Kale said.
�What do you mean �watch it�?� Kasey asked.
�I see that look on your face. You�re falling for this girl, and I understand that. But you can�t do that right now. You�ve worked too hard to get to where you are, but you have your whole career in front of you. These first years are the important ones. This is where you get the sponsors that�ll stay with you for a long time. Where you make a name for yourself. Especially this year because you�ll no longer be �Rookie phenomenon, Kasey Kahne.� You have to prove you�re not just a fluke.� Kale was pacing back and forth across Kasey�s room. �You�re going to be working constantly and chics can�t deal with that, Kasey, and you don�t need that distraction.�
�Are you done?� Kasey asked his brother. �Because if you are, you can get off your soap box, okay? You think I don�t know all that, Kale? I�m the one that left home to go race and busted my ass everyday to get into the Cup series. Racing is my life. That�s why I broke up with Mandy. She couldn�t deal with coming second to my career.�
�I�m sorry,� Kale said. �I didn�t mean to get all high and mighty, but I gotta keep you in line, Big Brother. Gotta kick your ass every once and awhile.�
�You wish you could kick my ass, Little Brother.� Kasey pulled Kale into a headlock.
�Oh, it�s on like Donkey Kong!� Kale twisted out of Kasey�s grip. �And don�t worry, pretty boy, I�ll watch the face!�
�Fuck you, Kale!� And the two brothers wrestled, just like they did when they were kids.
************************************************
�Girl, you got it bad!�
Neil and Jenna were at Neil�s Manhattan apartment getting ready to go out for New Year�s Eve. Jenna's rehearsal with The Pussycat Dolls was five hours long and she was rushing to get ready. She wasn�t planning on being in New York for New Year�s but when Robyn called about the meeting, she arranged to stay with Neil and fly back to Charlotte on Saturday night. Jenna was in the shower while Neil was getting ready and they were talking about her night with Kasey. �Not that I can blame you. Boyfriend is beautiful!�
�He IS beautiful, Neil. And I have fun with him and really like talking to him,� Jenna told her friend.
�When did you have time to talk? It�s not your style to talk with your mouth full!�
�You BITCH!� She yelled to him laughing through the shower curtain. �We both decided that we weren�t going to get involved in anything. We both have too much going on in our lives and want to have fun.�
�Jenna, you can�t bullshit Auntie Neil, you know,� he said as she got out of the shower. �You like him.�
�Of course I like him, Neil,� she said wrapping her hair in a towel. �How could I not? I mean, I might have fucked him within five hours of meeting him, but I�m not a TOTAL slut. I�m just not going to get into a relationship with him, you know, be his �girlfriend�.�
�Whatever, Jen,� Neil said exasperated. �You�re a smart girl. Now tell me how it went with Robyn today.�
Jenna told him all about meeting with Robyn and the girls. She was surprised that a good number of them were from outside of New York City. There were even a few from the Charlotte area. Since this was a pretty different situation than the Dolls company in LA, they learned the basic routines that day and would work on dialogue and additional routines before shows. Acting/ improv was part of the audition process. Robyn just wanted to expose The Pussycat Dolls brand to people on the East Cast, and they weren�t going to have all that many performances. She gave them each a DVD of Dolls shows to watch and they were measured for costumes.
�I can�t thank you enough for calling me about this one, Neil!� she told him
�Anything for my favorite client,� he said kissing her on the head. �Now hurry up and get ready! We might be going to a gay bar, but I can�t have my �fag-hag� looking anything les than spectacular. I need to find myself my own personal number 9 tonight... And I can be the 6!�
�Slut!� Jenna said as she walked out of the room.
�NASCAR Ho!� he shot back. �But I love ya anyways!�
*******************************************
DING DONG DING DONG. DING DONG DING DONG.
�Shit!� Jenna said looking at the clock on her laptop. It was 6:577 and she still wasn�t done with her student evaluations. She had to do one for each of the students in her Kindergarten class as well as the students in her upper-level dance classes.
�Hey! Right on time,� she said opening the door. Kasey looked adorable. He had on black track pants, a red dodge t-shirt, Oakley�s and his signature hat, backwards.
�Glasses, huh?� Kasey said stepping inside. �But I see the green eyes are real.�
She laughed. She had on her normal �sitting at home� outfit: formfitting, flared gray sweat pants and a white wife beater. Her hair was piled on top of her head in a messy ponytail.
�Yeah,� she said pointing to her glasses. �I�m a contact girl, but I like to give my eyes a rest every once in awhile.�
He set his keys wallet and sunglasses down in the foyer and followed her into the living room.
�I am SO sorry, but I�m not done with this stuff yet,� she said siting on the couch and picking up her laptop.
�That wouldn�t be because you�re too busy chatting on Instant Messenger, would it?� he said noticing her buddy list on her screen.
�I know, I know,� Jenna said embarrassed. �But I was always on it in college and haven�t been able to break the habit. It�s a great procrastination tool.�
�You don�t need to tell me,� he said. �I use it all the time. kkahne410- add me, that�s my screen name.�
�Very original! I bet none of your legions of fans have ever guessed that one.�
�It was my name before I made it into the NASCAR and I never changed it. Plus I have it set so that only people I have on my list can IM me. So I guess I better add- what is that?- jennastar21 to my list. Like that�s so much better than �kkahne410�, Jenna. It sounds like a ten year girl old made it up.�
�Hey! I was eighteen and at the time, all I wanted to do was leave college and become famous. What can I say?�
Kasey looked at her with that lopsided grin that had been popping in he head for the past few weeks. �Well, whatever. I�ll make sure I add you on.�
Jenna turned her attention back to her work. �I only have a few more of these to do, it won�t take me much longer.�
�Don�t let me rush you,� he said, picking up the remote and turning on the Speed Channel. They were showing footage of the banquet. �God, that thing was weeks ago! Why are they still showing it?�
�Because your fans want to see you all decked out in a tux,� Jenna said not looking up from her laptop. �You looked hot.�
I wonder if she saw me with Mandy, Kasey thought. �I hated making that speech you know.�
�Why?� she asked him.
�I don�t know. Being up in front of big groups of people just isn�t my thing. I get so nervous. Go figure. I hate talking in front of people and my job requires me to be in the spotlight most of the time.�
�Yeah, but you don�t race for that, Kasey. You do it because you love it. It�s like me dancing. I don�t do it because I like to be in the spotlight. I do it because I love to dance. Although, I do like to be the center of attention!� she said laughing.
�You? I never would have thought!� Kasey said with a grin.
�Thanks, Kasey.�
He focused his attention back to the television. �Are you done yet?� he said looking at her.
�Not yet,� Jenna said, her fingers flying over the keys.
He flipped the channels. �Now?�
�No, not now.�
He flipped again. �How about now?�
He could tell Jenna was trying hard not to laugh. �Kasey, stop it!� she said working very hard to keep her face straight.
Kasey sat through a commercial. �Now?�
�No, Kasey! You�re acting like my students!� she said laughing now.
�The you should be used to it. Are you done now?� He liked making her laugh.
�Yes, Mr. Annoying, I am done now,� Jenna said shutting her laptop.
�Good,� he said turning to face her, smiling. �What took you so long?�
� I was very thorough on with each one. I�m a teacher, that�s my job.�
� �Thorough�, huh?� he said, his eyes sparkling as he placed his hand on her leg.
�Yes,� she said, the same look in her green eyes.
�Hmmmm. There are a few things I can be pretty thorough about,� Kasey said, his hand reaching further up her thigh.
�Oh yeah?� she said, not moving an inch closer to him, or touching him; just looking into those deep pools of blue with a smirk on her face. �Like what?�
�Like this,� he said wrapping his arms around her and pulling himself closer to her. He moved his face up to kiss her, but when she leaned in, he pulled back and smirked. He didn�t break eye contact with her as he lowered himself to his knees in front of her. He ran his hands down her legs and positioned himself between her knees. He reached up and puled at the waistband of her gray sweats. Jenna arched hips off the couch as he eased them down, along with her panties. When they were off, he placed her legs over each of his shoulders. Her chest was rising up and down and she was biting her bottom lip in anticipation. He smiled and ran his finger through her wetness, stopping to rub his fingertip on her clit. She sucked in her breath and arched her hips forward towards his mouth. He flashed her his wickedest grin and finally put his mouth on her.
She tastes so sweet, he thought as he licked her and gently took her clit in his teeth.
�Ohhh, Kasey,� she moaned gripping the top of the couch as her body arched off it. He put his hands on her hips and pulled her closer to his mouth.
She gasped and her hands flew down to his head, pushing him away even though the last thing she wanted him to do was stop. Her thighs clenched and he placed his hands on the inside of them, pushing them down further into the couch, allowing him to penetrate her deeper with his tongue. He held her thighs open as she writhed under his mouth. God, I love making her squirm, he thought, getting harder every time she moaned.
He varied the movements of his mouth on her, pulling back and gently licking when she arched forward for more from him, and plunging his tongue into her and pressing down on her thighs when she pushed him away.
I can�t fight this anymore, Jenna thought and relaxed against the couch, Kasey�s tongue stroking her wetness. He took her between his teeth one more time and she gasped as climax ripped though her body, her muscles quivering. �Very� thorough.. Mr. Kahne,� she managed breathless from gasping and moaning.
�I told you I was thorough,� he said climbing up her body. He thrust his tongue into her mouth and she could taste herself on him. �What time does Amy get home?� he asked as he kissed her.
�Anytime, now,� she said kissing, him back.
He lifted her off the couch, wrapping her legs around him and swooping to pick her pants up of the floor. �Which room is yours?� he said pulling his mouth away from hers for just a second.
�First one on the left,� She said taking his head in both of her hands and pulling his mouth back towards hers. She slid her open mouth down his neck and kissed him as he carried her through the hall into her room.
He lay her down on bed, and whipped of his pants and shirt, his hat going with them. She rolled over to her nightstand and got out a condom before pulling her shirt off as well. He took the foil packet out of her hand and sheathed himself. She watched and outstretched her arms towards him, her eyes full of desire. As Kasey kneeled down on the bed over her, supporting himself with one arm and hooking the other under her right leg, he pushed inside of her in one deep stroke, his weight pressing her leg closer to her chest. He leaned down and kissed her in rhythm with his thrusting and she met each stroke eagerly, pressing her hips harder into hers. That dancing background makes for some great flexibility on her part, he thought as he stretched her leg out more. DAMN!
�You feel so amazing,� he panted, leaning his forehead up against hers. He closed his eyes and swallowed hard, trying to hold off the orgasm he knew was so close. When he opened his eyes, she was staring into them. He could tell that she was close too. She closed her eyes and he said, �No, look at me. Don�t close your eyes.� She did as he said and saw the desire reflected there. He thrust into her faster and still, looking into each others� eyes, the came together, their heartbeats racing against one another�s. They lay there motionless except for their heaving chests.
�Jenna! I�m home,� Amy called, opening the front door.
�Just in time,� Kasey said, rolling off Jenna.
�Jen, are you home? Wait until I tell you what those fuckers at the office pulled today!� they heard Amy yell. Jenna grabbed her pants off the floor and threw her shirt on.
Kasey took of the condom and was tossing it into the garbage can next to her bed when Amy opened the door in a rage.
�Hey, Jenna. You won�t believe the day I had today,� Amy said, walking past Jenna towards the bed.
�It is Sunday and those fuckers had me working all day long!� she exclaimed talking a mile a minute and sitting on the bed. Jenna turned and looked at her friend. Amy�s bad habit of keeping her head down when she walked had prevented her from seeing Kasey in the bed.
�Are you sick, you look really flushed?� Amy asked her roommate. �You look like shit! Anyways, I can�t stand these pricks that-�
�Uh, hi, Amy,� Kasey said from behind Amy on the bed.
�Holy Shit!� Amy exclaimed and jumped a foot in the air.
�Oh my god!� Jenna said laughing hysterically. �Amy, you should have seen your face!�
�I think I am about to have a heart attack!� Amy said still looking at Kasey like he was a ghost. �And you�re right,� she said leaning to the left and looking behind Kasey, �he does have a cute little ass. �Night!� And she walked out of the room.
�Bitch!� Jenna yelled laughing.
�Skank-a-whore-us Rex!� Amy yelled back, laughing as she closed Jenna�s door.
Jenna locked the door and turned back to Kasey, whose face was beat red. � �A cute little ass�, huh?�
�Yep,� Jenna said kissing him and giving him a little tap on the behind. A cute little ass.�
�Take these off,� he said, tugging at her shirt. �This is a no clothes bed!�
Jenna raised her arms and he pulled her shirt over her head. �Oh yeah, says who? It�s my bed.�
�Says me!� Kasey laughed. �And no pants. I want to feel your skin next to mine while we sleep.�
�And who invited you to spend the night?� she said as he kneeled by her feet and pulled her pants down.
�I did, and I�m the boss,� Kasey stuck his tongue out at her as he threw her pants on the floor and crawled back up next to her burring his head in he pillow and growling.
�Didn't your mother ever tell you not to stick your tongue out at people, Kahne?� she said laughing as he started burying his head into her shoulder still growling.
He picked up his head and looked at her. �I didn�t hear you complaining earlier...� he laid on his back and put his arm around her shoulder, pulling her in next to his side.
Jenna snuggled up next to him, breathing in the smell of his skin. �Shut up!�
Kasey kissed her on the forehead. �Great come back, Jenna. Good night.�
�Night,� she said giving him a peck on the lips. She closed her eyes and sighed.
�By the way,� Kasey said, �what the fuck is a �skank-a-whore-us rex�?�
