Neither one of them moved and neither one wanted to. Jimi just let her cry into his chest as he held her tight. She never cried and when she did, it was full throttle. Nothing was held back. Jimi felt bad because he brought her to this point. It was all his fault. But he had her now and he had a chance to make it right.

Karen finally stopped crying and looked at him. His brown eyes were staring right back at her. "I'm sorry that I'm like this." She sniffled.

Jimi wiped away the tears and responded, "Hey, you don't have to apologize. You can show emotion, you know." He smiled at her.

She couldn't do anything but smile back. "I love you, J."

"I love you too, K." He leaned up to kiss her.

There were the sparks again. You would think after all the years they dated, there wouldn't be anymore sparks, but that couldn't be farther from the truth.

They both got caught up in the moment and their tongues touched; only to be interrupted by Kimberly. They never got a moment of peace.

"Hey, y'all in here?" She asked from the main part of the bus.

"Yeah." Jimi replied, "Karen's fine." He looked down at Karen who had a smile on her face. She was on the verge of laughing.

"Well, we're gonna go get some lunch if you two wanna join. Just come to my room when you're ready."

"Okay, we'll be there in a minute."

They heard the door shut and Jimi sighed. Karen busted out laughing.

"You think it's funny now do you?" Jimi started to tickle her.

"Jimi quit. You know I'm ticklish." She laughed even harder.

"That's the point dummy." He tickled her more.

Karen fell on the floor and Jimi got on top of her to continue to tickle her.

"Jimi quit. I have to pee." She couldn't stop laughing.

Her laugh was heaven to Jimi. He wanted nothing more than to hear her laugh. He hadn't heard it in quite a while and it felt amazing to hear it. It was like the perfect song on the radio to him.

"Fine. You're off the hook for now, but just wait."

She got up to use the bathroom and practically ran, not even shutting the door. "I'll get you back. Trust me." She said, while on the toilet.

Jimi walked to the bathroom. "In your dreams little one." He smiled as he appeared in the doorway.

"Jimi! Shut the door."

Jimi just laughed, not even doing what she told him to.

"Jimi shut the door." She started laughing herself. She was embarrassed.

"You act like I've never seen you before." Jimi raised an eyebrow.

"It's still embarrassing. I'm sitting on the damn toilet." She chuckled as she said it.

"Not the first, won't be the last." Jimi replied.

"You're killing me. You won't even shut the door for me to pull my pants up."

Jimi nodded his head no.

"You just like to torment me." She said as she pulled her pants up and flushed the toilet. She walked to the sink to wash her hands.

Jimi walked behind her and put his arms around her waist and rested his neck on her shoulder. "It made you laugh, so yes I like to torment you."

"Oh now you get serious." She smiled as she said it. She turned around and kissed him. "We better go with the others for lunch."

"Do we have to?" Jimi asked.

"Yes." She brought her mouth up to his ear and whispered, "If you're lucky, you'll get to see more of me tonight." With that, she walked off the bus and into the hotel.

Jimi couldn't wait for the night to come. He smiled and walked to be with the others.
