CHAPTER 34: Don't leave home without it

Carrie woke before anyone else and found that she was still snuggled up against Kadaj's body. This was really nice A.J. had never liked cuddling, but Kadaj obviously did and it made her feel special and wanted. The change in his breathing told her that Kadaj was also awake now.

Kadaj didn't release her instead he drew her in even closer. He smiled softly into her hair and inhaled the subtle spicy vanilla fragrance that clung to her. He knew that part of it was her shampoo the rest was woman. He didn't know why but he was drawn to her. There was something about Carrie Loire that called out to him. Something that he had been searching for and now that he found it he was never going to let it go.

“Would you like some coffee?” Carrie whispered to him.

“Sounds wonderful.” He replied just as softly and reluctantly released her.

Pulling quietly from the bed they started to exit the room when Kadaj saw that his camera was sitting on the dresser. He didn't remember bringing it with him but let it go. Picking it up he glanced over at the bed and saw the four men and the pussycat that were still asleep on the bed. Bringing it up he snapped several more pictures. Seifer had turned onto his back and had Squall sprawled out on top of him belly to belly. Cloud was still spooned around Yazoo. Little Seifer had moved from Yaz's hair and was now curled up on Squall's ass.

Kadaj turned and followed Carrie into the kitchen where he watched while she made coffee for them. Keeping the conversation lively. “So what do you do Carrie?”

Carrie smiled at him “Right now I'm going to SFU and finishing my major in Computer Aided Drafting with a minor in music and art.” She cringed a little when she had said drafting.

Kadaj's next question was, “How much longer until you graduate?”

“A year.” Carrie replied to the inquiry.

“So is drafting what you really want to do?” Kadaj asked he had seen her cringe.

“No it's what my dad wants me to do. I wouldn't mind traveling for a while, but what I really want to do is ceramics. You know throw pots, pour molds, everything and eventually open my own studio.” Carrie replied with a smile.

“Then why don't you?”

Carrie chuckled, “Obviously you don't know my dad.” But she was also thrilled, other then Squall, Seifer and Shauna he was the first person to actually show interest in what she wanted to do.

Kadaj grinned at her but turned serious, “Is he always like that? I've seen overprotective fathers before but that was carrying it to the extreme. Although if I did anything to make you feel uncomfortable I apologize.”

Carrie beamed at him, “First of all you did nothing wrong. You didn't make me feel uncomfortable at-all, you made me feel like everything was going to be all right. As for my dad, no he's not always like that. I don't know what was biting him on the ass today.”

Kadaj frowned then said, “I'm sorry I hit him.”

“Why? He did hit you first. And once he calms down he'll respect you for standing up to him. I know I do.” Carrie said softly. Noticing the coffee was done she grabbed two cups from the cupboard and poured them each coffee. “How do you take it?”

“Just a light dusting of sugar please, unless there's flavored creamer.”

Carrie knew her brother and knew that there was no creamer, flavored or otherwise in the house. Since she was going to be staying here she'd make sure to pick some up, because she liked hers with either cream and sugar or flavored creamer and just a little sugar. Walking over to the refrigerator she pulled out the milk and added a dollop of it to hers then added sugar to both cups. “Why don't we go out to the living room, it's going to be more comfortable sitting on the couch and talking then parking our butts on the counter.”

Kadaj raised an eyebrow, “Huth! Counters were made for glasses not ass's.”

Carrie chuckled, “Squall would agree with you on that one.”

When they got out to the living room the sat beside each other on the couch and talked some more, “So why did you break up with A.J.?” Kadaj asked her then hastily added “If you don't want to talk about it just tell me to mind my own beeswax.”

“No I don't mind talking about it. He said horrible things about my brother and the rest of my family, said that whenever I spent anytime with them I developed an attitude problem and turned into a mouthy cu…” Carrie stopped and changed the word that A.J. had originally used to “…bitch. He also accused me of screwing any guy that didn't move fast enough. Then he started to hit me…”

“He did what?” Kadaj growled interrupting her. A slow anger started to burn in him. He had a volatile temper that at one time would explode at the least provocation. He had gone through anger management courses and it was one of his counselors that had suggested that he take up photography as an outlet to his anger. He had and in doing so found that he really enjoyed it. He had started when he was 12 and now at 22 he was one of the most sought after freelance photographers in the country.

Carrie lowered her head and smiled shyly, “Started to didn't actually connect. I kicked him with a roundhouse and knocked him across the room. Grabbed my guitar and an overnight bag and left his sorry ass.”

“Good then I won't have to kill him.” Kadaj said. He had been serious even though it came out that he was joking around.

“You're so sweet.” Carrie said and smiled at him.

“I know.” Kadaj replied with just a touch of arrogance and winked at her.

Before they could continue their talk Cloud and Yazoo walked out of the bedroom followed closely by Squall and Seifer. Little Seifer was perched on Squall's shoulder purring contentedly.

Cloud's stomach picked that moment to let out an earthshaking rumble. Blushing becomingly he murmured an apology.

Kadaj grinned and said, “Why don't I take everyone out for dinner to celebrate mine and Yazoo's move to the West Coast.”

Yazoo gave his brother a startled look, “Since when are you moving out here?”

Kadaj smirked at him and replied, “Since I found a reason to stay.”

After they had finished dinner and dessert they were still sitting around the table when Carrie turned to answer the question that Squall had just asked her and uttered “Ah crap.”

“Is there something wrong Honey Bear?” Kadaj asked her. They had been flirting with each other and involved in a lively conversation.

“My ex.” She replied and nodded her head in A.J.'s direction.

A.J. stomped up to the table and forced himself in between Kadaj and Carrie and sneered down at Kadaj, “Excuse me.”

Kadaj knew most of the story about this idiot and smirking evilly, he replied in a condescending manner, “Hello little boy. Did you loose your mommy and daddy? It's really dangerous to talk to strangers. See that nice lady over there?” Kadaj pointed over to the hostess, “If you tell her your name she can page your parents for you.”

A.J. was incensed, “Do you know who I am?”

“No can't say that I do. I used to have that problem myself, until I started carrying the American Express Card. Now people know who I am. And I really don't care who you are.” Kadaj said factiously.

A.J. reached out and grabbed Carrie by the arm and yanked her to her feet, “I want to talk to you.”

Kadaj pushed away from the table at the same moment Squall and Seifer did within seconds A.J. was surrounded by three very angry men. “Take your hands off of her! Now!” Three voices barked out.

That was it Carrie had had enough jerking her arm out of A.J.'s grasp she drew back her hand and slapped him across the face with all of her might. “A.J. it is over. This is your one and only warning if you come near me again I'll have your dumb ass thrown in jail for stalking. I never want to see you again.” Taking her purse and leather jacket from the back of her previously occupied chair she smiled at her dinner companions, “Gentlemen lets go!” Then stalked angrily from the restaurant.

“Fuck!” Squall swore silently, “Seif go after her.” And watched as his blond lover bolted after his sister's retreating back, he grabbed their jackets and was about to follow when he saw the danger signals flashing in Kadaj's ice green eyes.

Squall wasn't the only one who saw the hostility rolling off of Kadaj Yazoo saw it too. He also saw that his brother was clenching and unclenching his fists. Stepping forward he put his arms around Kadaj's shoulders and whispered soothingly, “Kaj, let it go. He's not worth going to jail.”

“I know.” Kadaj barked.

“Then come little brother, lets pay the bill and leave. I think we've entertained the masses enough tonight.” Yazoo's voice was just as calm and gentle as it had started out. He wasn't going to release Kadaj until he had let go of part of the anger that was still surging off of him. Turning his head slightly he said to Cloud, “Could you grab our jackets my love?”

Cloud nodded and did as his boyfriend had asked and watched as he led Kadaj over to where the hostess was standing.

With the bill paid Yazoo continued to lead Kadaj outside where they found Seifer and Carrie waiting for them.

Kadaj shook off his brother's hold and walked over to where Carrie and Seifer were, and pulled her into his arms and gave her a long drawn out hug. Seifer stepped away and put his arm around Squall and in a low husky voice said, “He is sprung.”

Squall leaned into his lover's hug and said just as quietly, “I know. I think tomorrow or the day after will be soon enough to ask him what his intentions are with my sister.”

Seifer threw back his head and laughed, “Do you want me to ask or are you?”

“It's my job as a big brother.” Squall replied with a chuckle.

“Can I call you sometime Honey Bear?” Kadaj asked Carrie.

Carrie felt giddy he had given her a nickname and they weren't even dating but she found it sweet and endearing, “It all depends on when you want to call me?” She replied just a little sly.

“Is five minutes after we part company too soon.” He asked.

Carrie shook her head and laughed, “No.”

“Good. Can I take you out for breakfast tomorrow morning?”

“Yes. What's your cell number so I can call it so you'll have my number.”

Kadaj gave Carrie his number and waited until she called it, `Stray Cat Strut' chimed out and caused her to giggle. Kadaj winked at her and flipped it open and quickly entered `Honey Bear' in the name slot.

Saying goodnight to each other they parted company Yazoo, Cloud and Kadaj leaving in Clouds electric blue Rolls and Squall, Seifer and Carrie leaving in Squall's black BMW.

True to his word Kadaj called Carrie five minutes after they had parted and she sat in the back seat and talked softly to him all the way to Squall's house.
