"Cordy?" Kevin said rubbing his eyes sleepily as he opened the door a
little
wider.
"I am sorry Kev" Cordelia said quietly as she hung her head
down.
A
little more alert Kevin raised her rounded chin so he could look at her
face
in the dim light "Were you crying?" he asked as he took her by the
shoulders
and led her inside.
"Yea...I'm sorry...It's just...I thought I still
had my
keys to my apartment but I must have lost them and Brian kicked me out"
Cordelia said trying not to wail as she sniffed.
Turning her so she
faced him
Kevin stared deep into her dark eyes "Cordelia what is going on?" Kevin
asked
softly.
Kevin sighed as he sat on his bed Cordelia curled up against his body
her head
on his lap. She didn't tell him anything just cried and cried for hours.
Running his fingers over her thick hair he closed his eyes he felt as
if he
had no right to comfort her since the pain apparently went deep.
"Who's it going ot be CORDY?" Brian demanded as he stared at her hard.
Feeling
her breath get caught in her throat Cordelia could do nothing but stare
at him
blankly.
"YEA CORD. WHo?" JC demanded.
Feeling tears well up in her eyes
Cordelia tried to stop them from flowing but they did anyways. "I don't
know..Don't make me choose" she said her voice barely audible.
"I hate
you
Cordy" Brian snapped.
"I don't want you either" JC said plainly.
Opening her eyes quickly Cordy found herself staring at someones chest
that
she didn't recognize.
Stirring she heard the familiar deep voice "Cord
why is
my chest wet?"
Sniffing Cordelia blushed as she sat up embarssed "i am
sorry
Kevin! I was crying in my sleep I guess" she said sheepishly as she
rubbed his
chest trying to dry it.
Sitting up he laughed softly "It's ok" he said
as he
hugged her.
Feeling slightly awkward sharing his bed and being beneath
the
covers with him with his arms around her Cordelia held her breath. As he
finally released her she smiled slightly at him but the remenants of
the dream
still lingered in her mind.
"What were you crying about?" he asked
gently.
