I could feel Karri tremble beside me as we made our way back inside. Oksana, always trying to be strong, pulled herself together instantly; smoothing her hair before moving off to find Geno in the crowd.
Vero hung back by me, I could tell she was more upset then usual. Looking at the three girls that I cared so much about, all suffering differently, gave me the desire to go back outside and dig into Emma and her stupid cronies.
But I knew I wouldn't.
I hugged Karri close to me and gave her a kiss on the forehead. "I'm so sorry Sidney... I don't know what I did-"
"You didn't do anything babe. I'm sorry that you had to deal with that... sometimes the guys aren't the best judges of people... and sometimes they just don't care." I sighed and scanned the crowd. I saw Marc sitting at a table with TK and Jordan. I finally caught his eye and waved him over.
He knew something was wrong when he got closer and saw Karri, her head hung weakly against my chest. His eyes moved from us to Vero and he quickened his step; scooping her up into his arms and whispering to her in rapid french.
"Why you go outside?" Geno asked, when he, the girls, Marc and I were sitting together at a corner table.
Vero blushed and looked over at Karri.
"They came to find me." She said, never looking up from her lap.
"Why were you outside?" I asked, rubbing the back of her neck with my hand.
"Max... Max kind of had some things he felt he needed to say to me."
I felt myself stiffen, and I glanced around the room, Max wasn't there. "What did he have to say." It wasn't a question, it was a demand.
Karri looked up at me, she knew by my tone of voice that I was determined to find out anyway, she appeased me. "He doesn't think we should be together. He said that, even though we were good for each other before... you've changed alot in the past couple years. You aren't good for me anymore..."
"And he is?" I asked, Geno grunted and we stared at each other. Geno wasn't a fan of Max off the ice; not after he had pulled the same thing over on Oksana.
"Sidney... it's not just that... when we were out there... Max tried to kiss me. He wasn't awful or anything, and as soon as I pushed him away he backed right off..." I let out another sigh and closed my eyes. Why couldn't people just back off for once?
I didn't want Karrington to see how upset this was making me so I gave her a small smile, "You sure you're ok though?"
"Yah I'm fine... the girls were worse."
"They always are." Vero agreed knowingly, nodding her head as she spoke.
"What's their deal anyway?" Karri whispered, tears threatening in her eyes.
Oksana reached over and squeezed her hand. "These girls are threatened by everything. They have guilty mind and put this on other people around them. They think we are all such bad."
Oksana was right. They all felt threatened in their relationships, because they all knew they would leave if something better came up. It's hard to have faith in someone when you know you'd end it yourself.
Emma was another story entirely though.
Bella was her twin sister, the same twin sister that she use to throw infront of me every chance she got. Emma herself had spent months chasing after me but once she got her claws into TK she let that go; opting instead to try and 'keep me in the family'.
TK had convinced me to go on some double dates with them but it was never anything more than a favour... I was too in love with Karri to think about anyone else, especially anyone like her.
Marc, Vero, Karri and I ended our night early; Oksana and Geno decided to head over to the Diesel with the rest of the team.
We said goodnight to our friends and headed up to our room. I could tell that Karri was off but I wasn't sure what to do about it. I couldn't talk about Max and let her see how upset it was; and I was sure she was really ready to talk about what had happened with the girlfriends either.
As we laid there in silence I felt Karri begin to sob beside me and I rolled over until I was on top of her. She wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled my face close to her as she started to apologise again. I shushed her and brought my lips down on top of hers; opting to kiss her instead of trying to say all the things I could never explain.
I pulled the tang top she was wearing up over her head, trailing kisses down to her stomach; before pulling off her shorts and tossing them aside. I pulled off my own boxers and threw them somewhere on the floor, moving back up to kiss her face.
When her lips touched mine I could taste salty tears resting on them. I pushed myself up onto my elbows, watching her, wondering if this was what she wanted. She pushed me off of her and I obliged, resting on my back and breathing heavily.
I didn't have time to apologise before she was ontop of me, strattling me and crushing her lips down on mine. I grabbed her hips and brought her down on top of me, as she started to push herself up with her legs.
We stayed like this, her moving slowly ontop of me until I couldn't lie there anymore. I sat up to meet her and pushed myself forward, knocking her down onto her back; thrusting into her harder and faster than before. She held onto me tightly with her legs and arms; her nails cutting deeply into my back as she climaxed. I finished shortly after but stayed resting ontop of her, my head on her chest. She rubbed my head with her hands as our breathing returned to normal.
"Babe..."
I whispered into the darkness, getting no response. I pushed myslef off of Karri and looked down at her; she was sleeping soundly. I scooped her up in my arms and turned her so that her head was resting on the pillow; pulling the blankets up to her chin.
I watched Karri sleep for a long time. Everything seemed so right now that she was back in my life. Of course there were problems - there would always be problems - but they seemed so much easier to deal with when I knew that she would be there beside me. I smiled to myself as I thought of how incredible she made me feel, like I could do anything in the world.
The girlfriends, Max... none of it mattered. At the end of the day it would always be about Karri and I; and as long as we were together, I knew the rest would fall into place.
