Kit waited nervously in the car looking around as people passed by. She felt like a schoolgirl and remembered days of her youth much like now. A shy smile crossed her face at the recollection as Ivan knocked gently on the window. Kit unlocked the doors and he slid in.

“Miss me?” Ivan said with a grin.

“Of course baby,” Kit blushed. “Are you sure we’re cool here Ivan?” Nervousness filled her as she watched a group of girls go by.

“We won’t be here long sweetheart. I just wanted a minute alone with you,” Ivan complimented as he leaned over to kiss Kit’s neck.

Kit giggled, leaning her head back to let Ivan’s kisses venture further. A gentle breath escaped her lips and she smiled as more memories of her wanton childhood flashed through her mind. She reached over to Ivan and pulled him nearly on top of her as he ran his hand between her thighs, gently raking his nails into her tender flesh. Now forgetting her surroundings, Kit slid her hand into Ivan’s shirt, allowing herself to freely caress his skin. He moaned and moved his kisses to her full lips. They kissed passionately each feeling their pleasure rising. Ivan carefully eased Kit’s seat back and crawled over so he was on top of her. Kit sighed, feeling his weight come down on her. Her hands were now completely under his shirt, as she explored him once more and reached for his *****. They were small and firm almost as she’d allowed herself to imagine. She paused for a moment as the realism hit her again, but she dismissed her pensive thoughts and allowed herself to stimulate him. He began to grind into her and she undulated up and into him in return. She took his hand and placed it on her ample breast showing him her desires. Ivan broke the kiss and looked down at Kit’s glowing face. He smiled and fulfilled her silent request. Soon they were like two octopuses with arms flailing around, mouths moving in heated passion as they kissed and touched each other completely oblivious to their limited space and surroundings. Kit could feel Ivan about to release and she increased her kissing, biting and touching. Ivan’s labored moans and panting of her name made her blush and smile. She allowed him to slide off of her even though she hadn’t ***** herself. It made her feel good to know that she could give something back and not be the recipient all the time. They sat in their seats breathing heavily as they smiled sweetly at each other.

“And who says you have to have your entree before dessert?” Ivan teased.

Kit laughed out loud. “We steamed up the windows,” she declared with a giggle.

Ivan adjusted himself and looked himself over in the mirror so there were no tell tale signs of their little mischief.

“Ready to eat?” I van asked with a devilish grin. “I’ve worked up quite an appetite I must say, Ms. Kit.”

“Yeah, I think I’ve developed one too baby. The waitress is prolly wondering where we are anyway,” Kit fixed her hair and smoothed her clothes.

They exited the car and went back into the restaurant, the waitress reseated them, and their food was out within ten minutes. They ate their lunch between shy glances and giggles and almost erupted into full-fledged laughter when the waitress asked if they wanted dessert, of which they declined. They sipped coffee as Kit recapped the story again of David’s call and happiness radiated from her.

“I’m so happy for you Kit,” Ivan reached for her hand. “I told you you deserved some happiness in your life and I guess it’s happening. Do you plan on telling Bette?”

“Yeah, I guess Ill tell her eventually. I just wanted to enjoy this to myself, Kit toyed with the napkin. Well, and with you of course, she smiled. Seems like my prayers are being answered,” Kit looked at Ivan. “Now, if I could get my father to come around I’d really be saying something.”

“One thing at a time. Just like one step at a time remember?” Ivan smiled at Kit who had reclined into her seat.

“Hey I have an idea,” Kit declared.

“What’s that?”

“Would you like to come to a meeting with me?”

“Sure I’d be delighted lovely lady.”

“Cool,” Kit said reaching for Ivan’s hand.

They finished their coffee and Ivan motioned for the waitress so he could pay the check. He paid it and left a nice tip for the waitress who assisted in his pre meal dessert.

They left Kits car at the restaurant and took Ivans as they went in search of a meeting for them to attend. Ivan knew of a church that hosted meetings every two hours and they arrived a few minutes into the one for that hour. Kit sat down nervously looking around the room. She glanced over at Ivan who sat in the back and away from the group, who nodded reassuringly at her.

Kit waited for her turn as each person went around the room. When they reached her, she stood up and gave her introductory speech.

“Hi, my name is Kit and I’m an alcoholic.”

The room replied with a resounding “Hi Kit!”

She was about to sit down when someone recognized her. “You’re Kit Porter right? The singer?”

“Yeah,” Kit blushed, knowing it was out of protocol to be personally acknowledged like that, but she shrugged it of.

“Huge fan. How many days sober?” The person continued.

“Almost ninety days,” she replied humbly. “Almost ninety days and it feels great man,” Kit added.

The group leader broke up the personal dialogue and proceeded with the meeting, which lasted the remaining hour. Ivan clapped heartily for Kit once it was over and met her with a tender kiss on her cheek and a quick hug, knowing others might not understand their relationship. The over zealous group member rushed over to her as she was about to exit the building.

“Hey Kit, I’m sorry about that. I got caught up ya know? It’s not everyday you get to meet your favorite artist face to face.”

Kit blushed and lowered her head. Ivan eased away from her allowing her to savor the moment.

“Thanks man. But I’m just a regular person ya know. Just trying to get by,” Kit explained not really wanting all the attention. “Well, it was nice meeting you, but I have to go. My ride’s watin’. Take care man,” Kit walked away feeling good about the meeting, but not about leaving Ivan out.

Ivan was sitting in the car listening to music. Kit got in and immediately turned the volume down.

“You okay Ivan,” Kit asked softly. “You kinda left me hangin ya know.”

“Yeah, I’m fine. I figured I’d just let you have your spotlight. Plus you didn’t need him asking you questions and all,” Ivan looked at Kit and turned away.

“Ivan hunny, what’s really wrong?” Kit reached for his hand. “Your whole mood has changed.

“Okay, I can’t lie,” Ivan held Kit’s hand tight. “I support you 110% and will be there for you all the way, but it felt kinda wierd that I couldn’t be more open I suppose.”

Kit frowned. “Not sure what you mean exactly.”

“Well, I’m so into you Kit and I know we’re taking it slow, but I guess the closer I get to you, the more I see that were still at some distance.”

Her heart sank and she stared out of the window. She didn’t know what to say. Everything was still so new to her and there were so many things going on in her life at the same time. She didnt want to dismiss Ivan or his feelings and she knew she had to make a decision.

“Ivan will you let me drive?”
“Uhm, yeah, I suppose,” Ivan opened the door and got out. “Where are we going?”

“You’ll see when we get there.” Kit walked to around to the drivers side and got in never revealing their destination.
