; The writer has a few more questions for Kai. I excuse myself to take an emergency call from Penny.
When I answer her call Penny is a sobbing mess. Bradly her fiancé passed away two days ago in Iran. The Humvee he was a passenger in hit a roadside bomb killing him instantly. His side of the vehicle suffered most of the extent of the blast.
My stomach drops. I feel so helpless. I cannot fix this for her. My best friend is devastated and alone. I offer to come to her, but she says she is going home to her parent’s place for a few days. She wants to know what she should do with Percy. I hate to bother him but I text Stewart. I feel so bad for just blowing him off after he was so sweet to me.
Me: Stewart I hate to bother you but I am out of town and Penny has something personal going on and has to leave Percy unattended is there any way you could take Percy to the clinic until she is able to pick him up. I will pay for anything you need for his care.
Stewart: I can take Percy to my house it isn’t a problem. I hope you are happy Katie. I wish you the best. Just let me know when you can about future arrangements for Percy.
Poor Stewart I hope he finds him someone to make him care for them the way that I feel for Kai.
2 months later
Kai and I are back in Kentucky this weekend visiting with his family before he starts recording his second album. Seeing Raven at first was awkward, but she did apologize in her own roundabout way. When Khloe first laid eyes on me, she started squealing and clapping. I can’t believe how much she has grown. She is more than happy to take Percy off my hands. Stewart and Kai had an awkward meeting when we picked my cat up from him. I thought Stewart was going to shit his pants when Kai shook his hand. He is a HUGE fan.
Kent and Kelli are happy to see Kai and I back together. They aren’t happy about us living together without at least being engaged but we are young and happy. There is no need to put a rush on anything. Kai and I are happy just to be together. Kai told them to stop pressuring us…it will happen when it happens.
I am so excited that I am going along with him on his European tour after this next album gets recorded and released. Penny is going with us; she is still depressed over Bradly but I am hoping this trip will help. Vance and Hunter are both eager to help her heal her broken heart. Kai is worried that she is going to cause a divide in the band by coming between those two, but who’s to say what the future will hold.
“I can’t believe you are going to be singing on tour with Kai and you are going to be singing a duet on this new album,” Raven says smacking me in the chest with her copy of ‘The Hit List.’
I look down, see Kai’s photograph, and mine on the cover. “I had no idea this was out!” I shriek flipping it open to the feature on Cooper’s Religion.
Band
Cooper’s Religion
Album
The Suffocation of Katie
If you haven’t heard of the band Cooper’s Religion chances are you might be dead. Their debut album- the Suffocation of Katie, has been topping the charts for nearly a year now since it’s release. With a grunge sound reminiscent of the mid 90’s, Cooper’s Religion brings all the raw edginess rock lovers have been missing. Front man Kai Cooper makes you feel his pain singing haunting lines such as…”I’ll be your pain and you’ll be my biggest regret…” Most of the album centers on front man Kai Cooper’s relationship with longtime girlfriend Katie. I recently sat down with the band and the infamous Katie, for an interview. I can assure you she has not been suffocated and is breathing just fine.
Kai comes over resting his chin on my shoulder and reads the article along with me. “Fuck, Katie you look so hot in these pictures.” His facial hair scrapes against my jaw, making me tingle below.
“Yeah, I don’t know who these losers are that photobombed my debut.” I smirk, browsing the pictures with the band in them.
He sucks on my neck seductively. “Killing me Kat.”
“Want you so bad Kai.” I pull his face to mine and kiss him roughly.
“Meet me in my old room in ten minutes,” he growls and pinches my ass.
“Wild horses couldn’t keep me away.”
Ten minutes later, I am under Kai, and he is playing my body, as if it is his guitar.
“Fuck. You. Are. So Beautiful. Kat.”
“Other half of my soul,” I moan as he slams into me.
