There was a knock on the door before it was opened from the outside, and Kari stepped into the apartment. “Hello?”

 

Turning away from the oven, TK smiled warmly at his girlfriend while she set aside her suitcase. “Why do you always knock first before you use your key, Kari?”

 

“To be polite, of course. This is still your mother's apartment, after all. Is she here?”

 

“No, she had to leave early due to the possible thunderstorm that might occur tonight.”

 

This news affected Kari greatly. She hated thunderstorms; the noise frightened her ever since she was little. Tai would often loudly cry out “BOOM” unexpectedly to scare her in their younger days just for laughs, and she would scream loud. “T-thunderstorm? Tonight?”

 

“Possibly, but not definitely. I got a pizza almost done here, extra cheese and mushroom. Unpack your things and we'll eat in a few minutes.”

 

“O-okay.” Kari pulled her suitcase with her as she made her way into Nancy's room. She was still a little shaky about the storm happening later on. Then again, she wondered why she was afraid. After all, she was with her best friend and boyfriend.

 

It had been almost a month since TK finally dissolved all of his sexual ties with Mimi, his mother, and his cousin Cherise. Despite Mimi's stupid idea of having a contest to see whom TK preferred by having sex with him one at a time, Kari made TK realize that they could still be friends, but more importantly they could be a couple. Unlike Cherise and Mimi, Kari chose not to have sex, but instead opened her heart to the man she loved. While she did want to give herself to TK, she wanted them to wait for the right time, which he agreed to, and they had yet to actually make love to each other. This was mainly because TK had gotten used to not having sex every week, and although he had had sex once more, he wasn't so eager to get back into that kind of relationship.

 

Cherise was the most upset about TK's final decision. After expressing her anger, she gave TK a hard slap to his face before she stormed out of the apartment, determined to never come back. It took two weeks before she cooled off and she, Kari, and TK were able to become friends. It also helped that Cherise found herself a real boyfriend by that time.

 

Mimi, on the other hand, took TK's decision well enough that she remained friends with him and Kari right off the bat. They could tell she was upset since she too liked TK more than a friend, but by the next day, she was her usual self again.

 

There was only one bad point in Kari and TK's relationship: Matt had started pressing TK for information about how far his brother had gotten with his new girlfriend. Despite the hits he took from Sora, Matt continued to inquire about TK's sex life since it no longer included their family.

 

Shortly afterwards, Davis confronted Kari and tried to get her to take him back. He even tried begging on his knees for forgiveness; but she refused. Word had gotten around, during the four weeks she and the others were waiting for Mimi to come back, that Davis had been wanting more and more sex than his partners could give him and so they left him for less energetic lovers. Kari viewed Davis's pleas as his wanting her to satisfy his lust, and she didn't want to become his next whore.

 

“You slept with those girls because you didn't want to do it with me,” she reminded him, “and I have a real boyfriend now, one I wouldn't give up for anything.”

 

“You mean TK, a guy who fucked his own cousin? We both know-.”

 

“I forgave him for that, because TK was trying to get over me. My answer is no, Davis, now leave me alone!”

 

Davis made one more attempt, this time threatening to expose TK's incest actions. However, this only earned him a beating from both Kari and Matt. Also, by then, Cherise had apologized and made up with TK and Kari, and she denied Davis's “accusations.” In the end, Davis had no choice but to give up and move on.

 

Now, in the present, Kari was over to help TK look after the apartment while his mother was away on yet another weekend assignment. Though she hadn't said it, Kari had a hunch Nancy had asked her to do so in order to give her and TK the right moment. Also, Kari had found that Nancy had left on her bed one of her negligees: the one that was mostly transparent. But Kari carefully folded the lingerie and placed it in the dresser. She didn't need it; it was too big for her, anyway.

 

“I have my own lingerie, thank you,” she said to herself while she pulled out form her suitcase the white bra and panties Mimi had made her pick out weeks ago. Kari had only worn them once, during the “contest.” Even then, TK had barely noticed them when she wore them. Kari blushed at the thought of TK seeing her in just them and nothing else.

 

Maybe tonight… I'll give myself fully to the man I love.

 

Meanwhile, as he waited for the pizza to finish baking, TK couldn't help but wonder if tonight would be when he would make love to Kari. He had enjoyed the long abstinence, and he and Kari had fallen in love with each other like a normal pair. They had done almost everything: the movies, dinners, walks in the park and around down, and even the pool and the beach. Still, during those events, TK kept himself in check so as to not spoil the mood.

 

But lately, he couldn't help but imagine Kari and himself in bed together, holding each other tight, naked in the dark. After all, Kari had said that she wanted to make love with him, but not until the time was right.

 

And I won't rush it. Whatever happens tonight happens, and nothing else. If she wants me to take her, I will. If not, then I'll let it go and apologize to her.

 

Suddenly, as TK was removing the pizza from the oven, the telephone rang. Luckily, Kari was just coming out to join him, so she answered it. “Hello, Takaishi residence?”

 

“I sure hope it is, though you sound nothing like my cousin or my aunt. Hi, Kari.”

 

“Hello, Cherise. TK's busy getting our dinner ready, but I'll see if he can come to the phone.”

 

“No, that's okay. It's you I want to talk to. I take it Auntie's out of the house for the weekend?”

 

“Yes, she is.”

 

“Well then, I'd better hang up and let you get back to work. But let me give you a bit of advice: TK responds sexually, so if you want him to be gentle, you'll have to turn him on gently.”

 

“I appreciate it, but no thanks, Cherise.” Kari then hung up the phone before Cherise could even reply. While she was grateful for the advice, Kari wanted to do things her own way. “So,” she said, turning back to her boyfriend, “what's on the agenda for tonight?”

 

“Unfortunately,” TK said as he waved a plastic pizza cutter in his hand, “all the good movies are rented out, and there's nothing good on TV tonight.”

 

“What about video games?”

 

“Matt's borrowing all of them. It's the `price' I have to pay for his silence, if you catch my drift.”

 

This made Kari fume. She and TK were splitting the game Teen Titans and she had been looking forward to not only furthering her game file, but also having a friendly match or three with TK. “But he forgave you for sleeping with Sora, didn't he?”

 

“He did, but when I tried to put my foot down he commented that dad might like to know how `close' I got with Cherise and mom. Well, I do have a small back-up plan.”

 

“And that is?”

 

Seeing that the pizza had cooled just enough, TK began cutting it up into eighths. “I found my card deck.”

 

Kari turned away, pretending to be pouting. “You know I don't know how to play that dumb Yu-Gi-Oh.”

 

“Wrong deck, and quit faking. I'm talking normal playing cards, as in aces and eights.” Placing two slices on a plate, TK acted like a French waiter and walked over to hold it out to Kari. “Your dinner, mademoiselle.”

 

Curtseying a bit, Kari took the plate with both hands. “Why thank you, sir.”

 

Evening came fast and soon it was night time. TK and Kari spent over an hour flipping through the channels and going through the Takaishis' movie collection after the pizza was long gone. They also kept an eye out the balcony glass-plated doors, watching for the supposed thunderstorm. However, the skies were clear as they turned different shades of red before becoming pitch black and then the stars lit up. This brought much relief to Kari; the weatherman had gotten it wrong again.

 

Suddenly, TK shut the TV off and let the remote slip out of his fingers to the floor. “Okay, I am officially bored,” he said dejectedly.

 

“Hey, didn't you say earlier you had playing cards?”

 

“…Oh yeah. Be right back.” It took TK less than a minute to run into his room and then rush back with a pack of cards in hand. “Man, I haven't played a good game of cards in what feels like forever.”

 

Kari then giggled. “Remember when we were at Ken's home for his Christmas party, and Davis tried to suggest we all play strip poker?”

 

The memory made TK burst into laughter. “Oh brother! I don't remember which was funnier: Yolei punching Davis for the idea, or Ken's mother joining us for the rest of the party after hearing him mention the word `strip.' I laughed my ass off.”

“We all did.” Kari then got an idea. “Sayyyyy, why not?”

 

In the middle of pulling out the cards from their pack, TK paused to shoot Kari a clueless look. “Huh?”

 

Kari's face had a sly expression. “We were too young back then, but not now. TK, let's play strip poker.”

 

TK nearly fumbled the cards: this was not how he wanted to “get it on” with Kari. The fact that she suggested it, even that she thought of it before he did, was sudden. “Strip poker? I mean, I don't object, but…”

 

“What? You never played it before? …Or have you, with-?”

 

“Never, Kari. They preferred directness rather than toying with me. However… I'm not really good at poker, especially strip poker. Matt always beat me.”

 

“He cheats, I don't. You trust me, don't you?”

 

TK, placing a hand over his heart, feigned being injured. “You cut me to the quick, Hikari Yagami-.”

 

“Oh cut it out, you're a bigger ham than I am.” Kari then sat up. “Do you want to play or not? It's not like I've never seen you naked before.” She then got another idea. “How about we raise the stakes?”

 

TK began shuffling the cards. “Dare I ask?”

 

“The loser… gets stripped by the winner, but only one piece per game and winner gets choice of clothes. How's that?”

 

“…Interesting,” was all TK said before he set the deck down between himself and Kari. Though he didn't show it, he was a little turned-on at Kari's suggestion. After watching Kari cut the deck, they both drew five cards, beginning the game. After TK replaced three cards and Kari four, TK showed his hand first. “Pair of aces.”

 

“Three fives,” Kari said sweetly, laying down her hand to reveal that she, indeed, had three fives. “Better luck next round, TK. Now don't struggle, okay? I'll be gentle.” Before TK could say anything, Kari had moved over so she was behind him. Her hands went for the hem of his shirt and slowly, almost seductively, she lifted it up and off him while running her hands under his shirt to touch his front. Her lips formed a smile as she saw her deed had made TK's crotch a little tented.

 

“H-hey,” TK said as Kari returned to her place in front of him. “I thought you said this was strip poker.”

 

“It is, with a twist. And we both know you enjoyed it.” Kari then took all the cards and shuffled them. “Now, let's she how you do this round.”

 

Though he hated to admit it openly, TK had liked how Kari had stripped him. Don't get excited now, TK, he told himself mentally, you'll get your chance as long as you don't lose focus on what's in your hand. “Two pair - aces and queens.”

 

“Full house,” Kari replied, showing her hand made up of two kings and three twos. “But don't let it upset you.” Kari took TK's one ankle and removed the sock that was on the connecting foot. “That should be fine for now. Next round.”

 

The next round, TK managed to get a full house himself while Kari only had two aces. “See,” she said to him after placing her hand on the floor. “You got a win. So, which will you strip off me first, big boy?”

 

TK rubbed his chin, thinking about what article of clothing he wanted to strip off his girlfriend. Grinning deviously, he moved forward and gently made her lay on her back. She watched him undo her shorts and then slowly, slower than how she took off his shirt for him, pull them down her thighs. Leaning closer, TK lightly breathed on her panties as he pulled the shorts off her completely. He smiled as he noticed how Kari shuddered from his breath, and that a small wet spot appeared on her panties right between her legs.

 

Ohhhh… that felt good. “N-now who forgot that this was strip poker?” Kari asked playfully.

 

“All's fair in love and poker, Kari.” TK then moved away and took up the cards to reshuffle them. They played a few more times before they were down to just their underwear: TK in his boxers and Kari in her bra and panties - the same lingerie she had bought and worn for the contest between herself, Mimi and Cherise. Both were barely hiding their excitement now that they were almost naked for each other, and their faces were pink and red respectfully.

 

Kari checked her hand carefully: she had three aces, the joker, and a six. Depending on what TK would have for his hand, she would either have a full house, or four aces. Then again, she wondered if she would even try to win this round. Still, she kept her expressions neutral. “Your move, TK.”

 

TK had yet to draw new cards, yet he desperately needed to do so as all he had was junk: a five, seven, two, nine, and a three. Whatever Kari had in her hand, he realized, he was about to become naked for his girlfriend unless he got a good new hand. Then again, he knew that such a thing wouldn't be so bad. Taking a deep breath, he put his hand face down. “I'm going to discard all five and draw a new hand.”

 

Pretty bold, Kari thought, but she simply nodded in acknowledgement. His first hand must not have been very good if TK was going for an all-new one.

 

“I'm going to lay them all out as I draw. Is that okay?”

 

“Sure. It'll be something different.”

 

TK drew his first four cards. “King of Spades, Jack of Hearts, Ace of Clubs, and Ten of Spades. This,” he said while tapping the top card of the deck, “is the crucial card.” I hope. He then drew the last card and laid it out. “Queen of Diamonds.” Suddenly, he did a double take, his eyes nearly popping out of his head. “Holy mackerel, I drew a straight! That's never happened to me before.”

 

“Congratulations,” Kari said, smiling warmly at her boyfriend's achievement. She then laid her cards facedown. Who was she to ruin TK's moment, even if the Joker in her hand gave her four aces to win the game? “I fold. You win, TK.”

 

TK looked up at Kari in shock as she laid back to prop herself up by her elbows. “I do? Is that… is that okay with you, Kari?”

 

“Does it matter? I think we're both the winners here. You can take it all off me, TK… if you wish.”

 

Hesitating for the briefest of moments, TK moved on all fours to place himself half behind and half aside of his girlfriend. His arms encircled her body, just under her breasts, to pull her close to him. His lips nuzzled against her neck romantically. “I love you, Hikari,” he whispered from the bottom of his heart. “I truly, deeply love you.”

 

Shuddering happily from the touch of her boyfriend's skin on hers, Kari reached a hand back to try and pull TK's head closer to her. Her eyes were shut tight as she felt his lips graze up and down her neck. “I love you, too, TK… Takeru. I love you forever.” A long, quiet moan escaped her throat as TK's hands cupped her breasts through her bra. “Please make love to me… right here… right now…”

 

They turned their bodies so that they were facing each other on their sides, and they embraced. Both of them let their hands explore each other's bodies while they kissed with their eyes closed tight. After using only their lips for a while, they deepened the kiss, their tongues clashing in an erotic dace in their mouths. When they finally pulled away, briefly connected by a thinning line of saliva at their lips, TK was on top of Kari, and they were fully naked.

 

“Beautiful,” TK breathed as he pulled back a little to examine Kari's build. Though her breast size was not near Mimi's, Cherise's or his mother's, he admired them with loving eyes. “You're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen, Hikari.”

 

“I'm so happy,” Kari said softly, staring into TK's deep blue eyes. “It makes me very happy to hear those words from you.” Her eyes then glanced down his body to marvel at his erection. “You're so hard for me already.” Her one hand touched him, her fingertips telling her of his length and hardness. She kept touching him as she felt and saw him tremble from her actions, and she willed her fingers to grip his shaft, squeezing him gently.

 

TK then lowered himself on Kari, sliding down her a bit to take one of her nipples into his mouth before he suckled it. Hearing her moans only drove him on, his hands cupping her bare tits as he continued to nibble and suck on her. His fingers traced her free nipple before he toyed with it; rubbing it and pinching it. Kari's moans let him know how much she enjoyed his caresses.

 

“Oooooo, Takeru… I want you. I want you to do naughty things to me.”

 

Kari's one hand still held his manhood, squeezing him with affection in response to his pleasing her. Her other hand was on the back of his head, keeping it close to her chest. Then, TK moved his head to her other breast to suckle its nipple. However, when he did this, he moved his right hand down Kari, sliding his palm along her smooth belly and waist. She cried out in bliss as she suddenly felt his fingers rubbing at her womanhood and spreading her legs a bit.

 

“Yes… yes, Takeru… right there, touch me right there…”

 

With his middle and ring fingers, TK gently rubbed at her pussy. It didn't take long before he felt her wetness as is leaked out onto his fingers and the carpet. They would have to clean it up later, but for now, he continued to make her wet.

 

Kari then felt something wet on her hand, the one she was using to stroke TK. She pulled it up to her face and, seeing a small wet stain on her lower palm, she licked it clean. “Mmmmm,” she said, licking her lips after tasting the bit of precum, “Would you like me to suck your dick, Takeru?”

 

Slowly, TK pulled his head away from his lover to look her in the eyes. “Please,” he said before moving away to sit before her, his legs open.

 

Kari sat up, but only for a moment, before she crawled over and leaned forward enough that TK's cock was mere inches from her face. Once more, her hand took hold of his shaft, but her lips moved down to kiss and lick his balls instead. She could tell TK was watching her in surprise, but knowing he liked what she was doing. After a while, she took his sac into her mouth and sucked them, making him shudder again. When she was through, she began licking him at the base of his cock, moving slowly upward. Reaching the tip of his lower head, she stopped to look at it. She kissed the tip, and then opened her mouth before she took in half his length, closing her lips around his thickness.

 

TK groaned, feeling Kari's tongue lopping around his member within her hot mouth. His hands balled into fists as she started to suck him, moving her head up and back down over and over. One of her hands encircled a finger at his base while the other cupped his balls, toying with them while she kept sucking more and more of his cock, moving down little by little. Suddenly, she pulled away, panting from the lack of air while sucking her boyfriend. “Are you close, Takeru?”

 

“Y-y-esss.”

 

“Please do it,” Kari begged, lowering her head enough to lick around the crown of his dick. “Cum for me. I want to swallow every drop from my man.” And then she went back to sucking his full length, but slightly faster.

 

“H-hi… Hikari… I-I'm cu… I'm cumming!”

 

Kari had deep-throated TK just as she felt a sudden salty glob splatter at the back of her throat, followed quickly by several more. She immediately swallowed, as she had said she would do, as TK came into her mouth. After five swallows, she felt TK relax as the sensation left him and his shots came to an end. She drew her head back slowly, dragging her tongue along the underside of his dick. When he was fully out of her mouth, she ran her tongue all over the tip in an attempt to clean it of any lingering cum.

 

Looking down at her as she cleaned his dick, TK put a hand to her one cheek. “You did that too well, Hikari. Thank you.”

 

Kari finally pulled away to sit up again. “Now it's your turn,” she said lovingly before she laid back once more. Her legs spread wide, showing her pussy as she used a hand to finger herself, enticing TK to lick her there. She didn't have to wait long as she suddenly felt his hands on her thighs and his tongue brushing her pussy, both inside and out.

 

“OOOOOOOOH! Takeru… I'm going crazy, I love it! …More. More! More!!”

 

Finally, Kari pleaded to TK “Put it in me. Please, Takeru… fuck me.”

 

Once more, TK moved himself above Kari, positioning himself at her soaking entrance. “Are you sure, Hikari?”

 

“Yes,” Kari pleaded again, “I want your cock deep inside me. Please make me a woman - your woman.”

”As you wish.”

 

Kari took a sharp breath as she felt TK pushing himself into her. While she was very wet from earlier, his manhood seemed to be bigger than she imagined as it made its way deeper in her pussy. Her wetness lessened the slight pain she felt, but then TK suddenly stopped. He had hit her hymen.

 

TK was glad he kept himself from plunging madly into his girlfriend's body; he had almost forgot that this was Kari's first time. If he continued, he'd be doing something he never had before: taking away a girl's virginity. Matt had warned him about being careful to break Kari's “barrier” a while before, Matt having taken two girls' virginities. “This will hurt, Kari.”

 

“Sora warned me. But it's okay, because I know… I know in my heart of hearts, you are the one I want to be with always, Takeru.” As she spoke, Kari put her arms around TK's back and propped her legs right beside his hips. Her eyes slowly closed and her body slightly stiffened. Despite how much it would hurt, she was ready.

 

Forcing himself to swallow his heart back down his throat, TK put his hands on both of Kari's shoulders, and then pushed to fill his lover fully. Though his eyes were shut, TK could still see Kari as her cry of agony rang in his ears. Ten sudden sharp pains on his back gave him a vision of her fingernails digging into his skin. He had done it: her hymen was torn. Kari was no longer a virgin, and he could never undo what he had done.

 

Suddenly, he felt soft lips pushing against his own, hard. He kissed back, but not for long as Kari then pulled away. “Don't you dare say that you're sorry,” she said as TK opened his eyes to look into hers. “Don't even ask for forgiveness. This was what I wanted, even if it hurt me. Now, I don't feel any pain. All I feel now is your love.”

 

“Alright, Kari… but your nails really hurt.”

 

“Sorry.” Soon TK felt all ten fingernails pulling out of his back to be replaced with gentle fingertips rubbing all over where he had been nearly pierced. “Is that better?” he heard Kari ask him.

 

“Much. …I'm going to move now, Kari. I'll be gentle.”

 

“I know you will,” was all Kari said just before she felt TK pulling his cock out of her partially. When she felt him slide back in, she moaned aloud, repeating as TK proceeded to make love to her. His thrusts were slow and soft, treating her body as if she were a fragile doll that would break if given too much force. Still her body rocked back and forth each time his hips met with hers in an age-old rhythm, and the sensation made her shut her eyes tight. This was so much different from her touching herself or TK touching her with his hands, lips, or tongue. An inferno was raging within her body, a yearning for the man that was loving her now.

 

“So good,” she struggled to speak. Her arms tightened a little around TK's body. One of her hands suddenly went to the back of his head, her fingers running through his hair while they moved together. “This feels so good… Oh Takeru… You make me melt.”

 

TK's eyes were open as he pulled and pushed himself within the girl beneath him. Unlike when he had slept with his mother and Mimi and Cherise, he looked fully at the face of his lover. Kari's expression was of pleasure and love, and seeing her gasp and moan from his actions took away any lingering doubts. She loved him, he realized; she really loved him. Finally, the feeling of her tight pussy engulfing his member took hold, and forced his eyes to close.

 

“Hikari, I love you. I give myself to you and only you, my angel. My queen.”

 

“Faster,” Kari breathed, pleading. “Go faster, Takeru. Go deeper. For your queen.”

 

TK's thrusts began increasing in speed, and Kari felt him pushing further inside of her each time. They were lost in a sea of ecstasy for what seemed like eternity, and they loved every moment of it. It was as if they had finally, and truly, become one with each other.

 

“Takeru! Yes. Yes! Your queen loves you! I love you so much!”

 

“Hikari, I think… I'm going to cum!”

 

“Me, too! I'm cumming too! Oh Takeru!”

 

All other words, all remaining thoughts, were lost between them. TK began moving frantically, and Kari took it all willingly. One final thrust was enough to push them both over the brink; their backs arched as their orgasms collided with each other, cries of love ripping from their throats and hearts. They still held each other close while they came simultaneously, Kari being filled with hot cum while TK's cock was deeply trapped in a tightening, silky vice as Kari's legs kept him from pulling out of her.

 

Almost twenty seconds passed before the sensation faded from them, and TK collapsed lightly on top of Kari, their arms still keeping them close while he remained buried within her. The only sounds within the entire apartment were their heavy breathing in the form of panting. Contrary after letting himself go in the end, TK retained enough strength to keep himself up enough so that he wasn't crushing Kari under his body. Also, her legs remain locked so he couldn't remove himself, as if she wanted to prolong feeling him within her body.

 

“I love you,” Kari said breathlessly as she nuzzled TK's one cheek. She wanted to cuddle her man, despite how drained she felt. “All that happened, with your mother, and Mimi and Cherise… I don't care, it doesn't matter. I still love you.”

 

“…I love you, too, Hikari.” TK returned the affection. Being this close to Kari, he felt… he couldn't describe it. All he knew was that it felt right, and it felt greater than anything he ever experienced. “I always have. And I always will.” Suddenly, TK realized he was crying. A few of his tears fell right between his and Kari's cheeks, making her feel them. But then, TK felt tears that were not his own between him and her. She was crying, too. Her next words revealed that her voice was breaking.

 

“I regret only one thing: that I didn't realized my love for you sooner. But now, being here with you… I've never felt so happy.”

 

They remained like this, closely lying naked together on the floor, for a time. Even after the tears had stopped, they stayed there. Finally TK glanced at the clock to see that the hour was late. “Hikari, let's go to bed now. Do you feel tired?”

 

“Very.” Carefully, Kari tilted her head to look TK in the face. “May I… share your bed?”

 

“You may,” TK whispered before kissing Kari on her nose. Slowly the pulled away form each other, but they held hands as they did and as they stood off the floor and made their way to TK's room, turning off all the lights as they went. In the darkness of his room, TK led Kari to his bed. “I should warn you, though; it's not really for two people. It can be very… cozy.”

 

“I like the sound of that. Still, we do have a larger bed-.”

 

“Forgive me, but… I'd rather not. At least… not yet.”

 

“I understand.”

 

TK slipped under the covers, still holding Kari's hand, and soon Kari joined him. As he pulled the sheets over their bodies, she cuddled up against him, resting her head over the left side of his chest. “This is cozy,” she said, “and I like it.” …I can hear his heartbeat.

 

“So do I,” TK replied, draping an arm around Kari. Content by each other's presence, and warmth, they soon fell asleep. It never rained at all, let alone stormed, that night.

 

 

* * *

 

 

When Kari awoke the next morning, she realized that she was alone in TK's bed. Her first guess was that he was in the kitchen making breakfast for her. But I was going to do that for HIM. The first thing she did was reach over the side of the bed for her clothes. It took her a second to realize that her clothes were either in her suitcase in Nancy's room or spread out in the living room.

 

“That's right. TK and I came to bed naked.”

 

Looking over at the nearby desk, Kari saw that a robe about her size had been left hanging over the desk chair. TK had probably left it for her after he got dressed. Putting it on as she walked out of the room, she saw TK kneeling on the floor, leaning over the very spot he had made love to her the night before. Near his legs were several cleaning bottles. In his hands, which he used to furiously scrub the carpet, were a bunch of paper towels wearing out from the scrubbing.

 

“TK?”

 

He didn't look up, but TK acknowledged Kari's presence. “We left quite the stains on her last night,” he said, still scrubbing. “Mom'll kill me if I don't get this cleaned up. Stained bedsheets she said she could handle, but she said nothing about the carpets.”

 

“Need some help? It is mainly may fault-.”

 

“Thanks, but I almost got it all taken care of.”

 

Kari was about to ask if TK had eaten yet, but then she heard his stomach give out a growl. Smiling, she first moved over and leaned down to kiss his hair. “When you're done, you can wash up. I'll start breakfast.”

 

TK smiled, too. “We can talk about what we can do today while we eat. Mom won't be back until late tonight.”

 

Taking the egg carton out of the fridge, Kari looked back at her boyfriend. “Actually, I need your help with some shopping today. Bikinis are now on sale and my current swimsuit is too tight, plus some of my underwear is a little bland.” She winked after saying this.

 

“Heh. I hope I can help pick out the right ones.” TK then gathered up the cleaning items; he was done with the carpet stains. After putting them away, he went into the bathroom and scrubbed his hands. As he washed, he recalled the shower he had after the experience with Cherise and the chocolate syrup. He had felt so dirty back then that nothing he did could cleanse him.

 

Now, knowing Kari forgave him, that she loved him, he felt better than ever. Drying off his hands, TK left the bathroom to see if he could help with making breakfast.

 

 

 

The end

 

 

It's finally over; this one-shot turned series is kaput! I can hardly believe I actually went and extended this tale so far. And what a whopper of a finish, too. Still, I'm glad it's done.

 

I'm sorry that this took so long to finish. The downside of working in retail in real life is that back in August I had to deal with incoming stock for the coming Christmas season. With everything we've been getting in, it has left me drained physically, and creatively. And I'm also sorry that this didn't turn out like some would have preferred, like TK sticking with his mother or Cherise. Please don't expect alternate endings to this story; I tried before with my love letter trilogy, and I couldn't bring myself to accomplish such a task.

 

Please read and review. I'll see you all next time.
