of bed and I enjoy the view for a minute. Krista's right...he does have a really nice butt.
"See something you like?", I hear Liam tease me and I throw a pillow at him.
"Maybe.", I laugh and climb out and put a little pressure onto my foot to see if I can at least hobble around without the aid of the crutches.
"Easy there, Katy."
"I've got it. I can't depend on crutches forever, and I've been going to physical therapy and all.", I shake my head and maneuver myself to grab my clothes and get dressed and give him a triumphant smile, "See?"
He shakes his head and walks over to help support me as we walk out of the room.
"Do you think Krista's ok?", I ask as I sit at the table.
He sits across from me and frowns, "I think she's going to need some time. She's going to need to speak with police a lot and let her side of everything be known. Then once everything on our end is settled, we want to get you girls out of town.", he reaches over and grips my hand. "This was supposed to be a safe get away...we're going to take a real vacation once all this is done. The four of us. Does the beach sound good?"
"The beach sounds amazing right now", Krista says as she walks in and sits beside me. "So much better than drab police headquarters."
"Are you doing ok, Kris?", I ask as I lean over to hug her.
"Yes...and I'm already tired of being asked that! The police, Scott, even your parents! I swear, I'm ok. I don't regret shooting her, I would do it all over again to protect you. After what happened to Luke, I think its deserved justice."
"I wouldn't let the police hear you talk like that, babe", Scott says as he walks in and kisses her cheek. "Just saying."
She rolls her eyes and grabs a banana from the bowl in the middle of the table, "I can't wait to have all eyes off of me again. How do you guys handle having so many pay attention to you all the time?"
"That's different.", Scott shrugs and leans back in the chair, "That's not legal attention. Just girls who think they'll get a shot at us if we give them the time of day."
"You better not give any of those girls any time of your day...because as far as I'm concerned Mister, your all mine.", she teasingly threatens him and leans over to give him a long kiss that makes Liam clear his throat loudly to break them up.
“Sorry”, Scott says sheepishly and grabs his own fruit to start munching on. “What time do we need to be at the police station?”
“ 10.”, Krista tells him checking her phone for the time. “We’ll need to leave soon.”
He nods chomping on his apple and stalks off to the guest room to get changed and Krista begrudgingly follows behind him.
"I worry about her.", I whisper to Liam, "This is really a big deal, and I know her, it just hasn't hit her yet."
"I know babe, but she is tough. I even know that and I haven't known her very long. She didn't do anything wrong. Scott is there to help her through this now."
Sighing, I squeeze his hand, I know, I'm just used to being the one there for her."
"What did I tell you about taking on the weight of the world? Sometimes other people can take a turn, Katy. Not everything has to be on your shoulders."
"I know, but-.."
"No buts, she is your best friend, but she's got a man to protect her now. And that's my job for you from now on."
I lean over and kiss him, "I love you...you don't have to have the weight of guilt on you either. You don't have to feel guilty for not being there, ok? You have a job. A real big important job that a lot of people depend on you for...you shouldn't have to sit and babysit me."
"Well, I have to say. It's the best damn babysitting job ever.", he replies with a smirk and I shove his shoulder.
"You are a mess, Liam Warren."
"But I'm all your mess, Mrs. Warren.", he says in a whisper against my lips as he kisses me again.
"Mmm...That you are. Now, what are our plans after today?"
"I need to talk with Scott, but I was thinking once Krista's cleared of any wrong doing that
