Summary: Miguel is suddenly aware of feelings he has for Kay and tries to dismiss them. Kay gets ready for her date with Nicholas.

**********************************
"Hi Kay. You look lovely".
"Thank you Nicholas, you look nice also. Is this a new shirt? It's cool".
"Thanks. Ethan gave it too me as a welcome home present. I told him I been home for two months now and he said he hadn't realized because I was spending all my time with you. But he was just joking. He had to come up with an excuse for not giving me something earlier. Brothers!"
"Ethan is great". Kay replied. "But my brother Noah is awesome. People use to call us the Bennett Duo because we would get into a lot of mischief together".
"So, are you ready to go"?
"Sure. Bye Jessica, tell mom I'll be home by curfew".
"I'm not your personal messenger." Jessica said ugly. But right when Kay was going to say something to her, Nicholas walked over to Jessica and put his hands on her shoulders and whispered,
"Jessica you are such a pretty girl. Be nice and give your mother the message. If not for Kay, do it for me. You know I don't want your parents to forbid me from coming over. I may not be able to see you anymore. You know you're my best girl." And with that he kissed her on her cheek.
"O.K. But not for troll face over there, but I'll do it for you".
"That's my girl, thank you Jess".
"You're welcome". Jessica said blushing. And with that the couple left.
Just then Miguel came down the stairs.
"Oh hey Miguel, you're still here"?
"Yeah, I'm about to leave". Miguel said looking down.
"Miguel are you all right? You don't seem to be your cheery, funny self".
"I'm all right. I just have a lot on my mind that's all".
"It's Kay isn't it"?
"Kay? What? What do you mean, Kay"?
"I know how she can be sometimes. Mean!"
"Oh no Jessica, that's not it at all. She's not mean, she's wonderful."
"Are we talking about the same Kay Miguel?"
"Jessica don't be so hard on your sister. Kay is great. A good friend and a beautiful person."
"Now I know we're not talking about the same Kay. I don't know her to be any of those things you've just said. Are you feeling all right?"
"I'm fine Jessica. I'm... I'm just looking at Kay in a different way now, and I can't seem to figure it out."
"What way is that Miguel?" Charity said walking into the room from the kitchen."
"Oh hey Charity, I didn't know you were here."
"So what were you guys talking about, and how do you look at Kay now?"
"Oh it's nothing Charity. I was telling Jessica not to be so hard on her sister because she loves her."
"Oh." Charity said humping her shoulders. "Well that's just how sisters are I guess. They always seem to find fault in the other just so they won't show how much they love each other."
"Yeah right!" Jessica said as she walked out to the kitchen.
********************************
At the end of Kay and Nicholas's date, he walked her to the door.
"Did you have fun tonight Kay?"
"Yes Nicholas, it was a nice evening."
"So why do I get the feeling something is bothering you?"
"Wow Nicholas, we must be getting closer than I thought, if you are already reading my mind."
"Well I can't say that I could read your mind, but I can pretty much tell when something is on your mind. Why don't you tell me what it is." Nicholas said putting his arms around her as they took their seats on the porch swing.
"It's Miguel."
"Lopez Fitzgerald? What's wrong with him?"
"He came over earlier, and I could definitely tell something was wrong, but he couldn't tell me what. He was acting all strange around me, and I can't figure that out. He has always told me everything, but I guess that's not the case anymore since Charity came to town."
"Wow Kay you sound almost jealous."
"I was jealous, for a little while, but I'm not now. I had to give up the idea that Miguel and I would ever be a couple. And maybe Mr. Crane you had a lot to do with that." Kay took Nicholas's hands.
"What are you saying Kay?"
"I'm saying that I like being around you. You make me laugh with your corny jokes. I think there could be something special between us."
"I feel the same way Kay. I have never met anyone quite like you before. You're hard working and very smart. I just can't believe you're giving me a chance."
"Nicholas why wouldn't I. You are a wonderful person. I like spending time with you."
"Well I know that you had this major crush on Miguel, and I didn't know if I could compete with that."
Kay leaned in closer to Nicholas. "Nicholas, I don't know how things are going to be between us, but I promise to always be honest with you, always."
Nicholas moved closer to Kay very slowly and they both closed their eyes. Nicholas then kissed Kay gently on her cheek and they both smiled.
"That was wonderful Nicholas. Thank you for taking things slow with me."
"I want the moment we share our first kiss to be special and unforgettable. But most of all I want the time to be perfect so that there are no regrets. Speaking of regrets, why did Miguel come over earlier?"
"Well that's just it. Miguel asked me for help with this math problem that he answered in class. I thought it kind of strange at first, but I just went along with it. I wonder what's making him so loopy all of a sudden."
"I think I may have the answer to that."
"Well tell me, because I've never seen Miguel act like this before. So, what could it be Nicholas, why is Miguel acting so strange."
"Well I'm not really sure, but maybe I could talk to him tomorrow and find something out."
"Oh that just reminds me. Miguel and I are spending the day together tomorrow to rekindle our friendship. I hope that's O.K. with you."
"Sure, but if he put the moves on you I'll have to break his neck."
"Nicholas please, Miguel trying to put the moves on me is the last thing on his mind." I wouldn't be so sure, Nicholas thought. "Well good night sweet lady. I'll talk to you tomorrow after your redevous with your Latin lover."
They both laughed as Kay said good night and went into the house.
***********************************
The Morning of the Date
When Miguel woke up that morning, he was nervous. He didn't know why he had butterflies in his stomach. After all this was Kay. His best bud. They were just going to hang out at the park and have a picnic or something. But still he wanted it to be special. He was curious about these current feelings for Kay. Could they be just because she was dating Nicholas, or were these feelings genuine? He went down stairs for breakfast.
"Hey Miguel, you sure are looking handsome this morning. You and Charity have plans today?" Theresa asked.
"No, actually Kay and I are spending the day together."
"What? You and Kay? How did that happen? Isn't she dating Nicholas?"
"It's not a date Theresa. Kay and I are best friends. We just thought it would be nice to spend some time together like we use to."
"I don't know if that's such a good idea little brother."
"Why not?" Miguel asked eyeing his sister.
"Well, I better not say."
"Why not Theresa? Do you know something I don't know?" Miguel said taking two pancakes and putting syrup on them.
"Well, Kay had a huge crush on you at one point. Whitney over heard her and Simone talking about how much she liked you, but you started dating Charity and broke her heart."
"I had no idea." Miguel said forgetting about the breakfast on his plate.
"It was so obvious Miguel. I'm surprised you didn't notice. She would light up every time you came into the room. Are you blind or something?"
"No! I just had no idea she felt this way. Kay and I always have been friends. I can't remember ever not being her friend. I thought that one day we would be together, but then I met Charity. And it seemed like love at first sight. I don't know, and I'm not so sure any more. How do you know Theresa? How do you know when you're with the right person?"
"People are different Miguel. They have different feelings. But with me when I first met Ethan, something inside me knew that he was the one. I never had any doubts about my feelings. I never let anyone else distract me from loving him. It wasn't possible."
"Well I do love Charity, but I've been thinking of Kay a lot lately."
"Maybe it's because you see her with Nicholas a lot. Maybe you are starting to wonder what it could be like to have a relationship with her now. That's normal. You and Kay share so many things. You've discovered so many wonderful things with each other. It's almost like she's your soul’s mate, and life is making it plain to you now. It's like waking up from a very long night into a beautiful morning filled with sunshine. Sounds like love if you ask me."
"I was afraid you might say that."
"Yeah, I frightened myself too. Well the worse thing to do is to stop whatever her and Nicholas has going on. She needs to run the course of true love. Kay and Nicholas need to experience some things together just like you've done with Charity. I know you want to share your feelings with Kay, but you can’t. Not now. Wait until she comes to you. You don't want her to think you broke her and Nicholas up because you're jealous."
"But I am jealous. I can't stand seeing them together!"
"Well that's too bad Miguel. Kay needs to experience some things without you. She likes Nicholas. Leave her be for right now. If it's meant to be then it will be for you two. But you don't want her to run from you. Let her come back to you. And don't forget to talk this over with Charity. Be honest with her as well. Life is so much better when you are honest with the people you care about. She will truly appreciate it. Believe me."
"Thanks Theresa. You are wonderful. No wonder Ethan chose you. He's the luckiest man in the world."
"Thank you Miguel. Any girl would be lucky to be with you too."
********************************
At the Bennett's
"Jess, have you seen my baseball cap?"
"Yes, it's down stairs on the lamp table."
"Thanks, Miguel will be here soon."
"I can't believe he asked you out for today. What was he thinking?"
"It's not a date Jessica. We're just friends. He has Charity and I have Nicholas now. No more scheming for me. It wasn't meant to be with Miguel and me and I know that now."
"Wow, I can't believe my sister is saying these words." Jessica put her hand up to Kay’s forehead.
"Are you O.K.? You're not sick are you?"
Kay slapped her little sister's hand out the way. "Move Jessica. There's nothing wrong with me. I just got tired of competing with Charity. If Miguel and me were meant to be, we would've been. I'm glad things worked out like they did. Nicholas is wonderful. I have so much fun when we're together. He makes me laugh and feel things inside of me that I have never felt before. So don't worry Jessica, I'm not trying to make Miguel jealous or anything by dating Nicholas. I'm not a monster. I wouldn't do Nicholas like that. I like him too much."
"I wasn't insinuating anything Kay. I'm just surprise you gave up so soon."
"Whatever Jessica. When you experience life and love, you'll know. Just wait. Now, will you braid my hair going back so I can wear my cap?" Kay said sitting and handing Jessica the comb.
"I'm surprise you are dressed in jeans and T-shirt."
"Why? I'm not trying to impress anybody. My man is at home. He's the only person I'm trying to impress now days. And soon he too will see me in jeans and T-shirt if we have a jeans and T-shirt kind of day."
The two girls laughed as Kay stood up from her vanity table.
"Thank you Jess. This is beautiful."
"You're welcome Kay. Thank you for letting me do it. I like spending time with you. You're not so bad sometimes."
"Thanks, I think." She smiled at Jessica as she put her shoes on.
*************************************
Down stairs
Miguel entered in the back door through the kitchen. Charity was sitting at the breakfast table munching on a muffin.
"Oh hi Miguel. I didn't know you were coming over today."
"Hi Charity. Actually Kay and I are going down to the park today."
"Ooh the park, that sound nice. I'll get my bag!"
"No Charity don't!"
Charity turned and looked at Miguel with confusion in her eyes. "Why not Miguel? What's going on?"
"Only Kay and I are going to the park."
"Why Miguel? What is this all about?"
"Nothing Charity. Kay and I are best friends. We just thought we would go do some fun things together like old times."
"I guess that was Kay's planning. Right? I know she has feelings for you."
"You know it too?" Miguel said under his breath.
"What did you say?"
"I said that's crazy. Kay doesn't have feelings for me. She's with Nicholas."
"Whatever Miguel. I still think she loves you."
"Love? Where is this coming from Charity? I've never seen you act so jealous."
"Well you've never given me a reason to be jealous before."
Miguel hugged Charity tight. "And I'm not now. Kay and I are just going to the park to talk and perhaps play a little ball that's it. You are the girl I'm with. I love you. O.K.?"
Charity lightened up and smiled. "You're right Miguel, forgive me. I don't know what came over me."
"There's nothing to forgive Charity." And he kissed her on the lips.
Just at that moment Kay came through the door. "Get a room!" she said sarcastically but jokingly.
"Oh hey Kay. Are you ready to go?"
"Sure Miguel. I prepared a lunch picnic basket for this afternoon."
"Great! I missed breakfast this morning. I sort of lost my appetite."
"Nothing to worry about Charity." Miguel said looking at her.
"Well great. I prepared all your favs. I hope you don't mind."
"Nope. This is great. Well I guess we should get going."
Miguel hugged Charity again and kissed her on the cheek. "I'll see you later O.K.?"
"Yes Miguel, later."
"Bye Charity, bye Jess." Kay said smiling as she walked out with Miguel.
"I don't trust her Jessica. I think she's up to something."
"At first I thought the same thing Charity, but Kay really confided with me upstairs. She swore up and down that she cares a lot for Nicholas, and doesn't want to do anything to hurt him. She recognizes that you and Miguel are together, and promises not to do anything to break you guys up."
"I hope you're right Jessica. I hope you're right."
