The One Night Stand

Meet

The aroma of roasted turkey spread throughout the room. Kara heads to the kitchen to see her mom and the chef cooking. Grandma is making her flagship cookies there.

Kara kissed Mom and Grandma.

Kara exits the villa towards the beach. Kara ran a small run along the beach, until finally she was tired and sat in the sand.

The sky looked bright, but the sun looked embarrassed, the air felt cold to the bone, Kara clenched herself with both hands. Hoodie jackets are worn on his head. Kara is still engrossed in staring at the roll of waves chasing each other in the sea.

Kara did not realize that from earlier a pair of eyes were staring at him from a distance, he walked closer to Kara slowly as if he did not want to disturb women who were busy staring at the waves chasing.

"What are you thinking?" Kevin sat down beside Kara, breaking his reverie.

"I haven't enjoyed this kind of atmosphere in a long time, the last time I was heartbroken. When Josh died, I forgot about this place, preferring to drown in grief." Kara smiled miris.

"I won't leave you, no matter what. I promise!"

"I can't promise you anything Kev. I just want to get through this and enjoy our time together."

Kevin embraces Kara's shoulder, and Kara's head rests on Kevin's shoulder.

Kara wants to enjoy being alone with Kevin.

Shown in his mind will work to be done in the future. The two stared at the sun that was beginning to reveal itself in the distance.

Kara has not been able to answer Kevin's questions about the future together, because she is still traumatized by her romance with Josh.

The day began to afternoon, the atmosphere of the villa was getting crowded, the Jones family one by one arrived.

"My dear, how are you?" Morgan greeted Kara and hugged her cousin.

"Jeez Kara, you look so skinny and pathetic!" Morgan is back.

"I'm fine Morgan, never mind, don't worry about me. How's business?"

"You remember Zoe?" ask Morgan. Kara scrunched her forehead remembering the familiar name in her ears.

"Assistant Josh?" Kara started to remember Zoe's name.

"Yes! He's working for me now, back to being my assistant."

"Yes! Wow, surely your business is growing rapidly."

"You know, Justin was broke after making trouble with you back then. When I came to ask for help, I directed it to my friend's agency. Now that he has begun to learn to behave well, his career is beginning to rise again."

Kara listened to Morgan tell her a story while nodding a nod.

Morgan turned his eyes to Kevin who had been watching them chat.

"Hi, if it's not wrong you're Brian's brother?" ask Morgan while pointing at Kevin.

"really. I'm Kevin" Kevin replied as he extended his hand. Morgan welcomed Kevin's hand, they shook hands.

"Morgan."

They enjoyed the dishes while chatting.

"Where have you been all this time?" ask Morgan to Kevin.

"I'm in Washington, I work for IT."

"Wow!!" Morgan was amazed to look at Kevin.

"Are you the artist manager?" ask Kevin.

"That means going to Hollywood often?"

"Yes, but nowadays it's more often to New York and Miami to oversee the filming of some of my artists."

Kevin and Morgan talked to each other about a lot of things. Kara is busy preparing a family dinner, just a quick look at them.

"Let's all get together!" Cindy half yelled calling the whole family to gather.

Before enjoying dinner they say a prayer and thank God led by Papa Kara. After saying the prayer and Amen answered by all their families enjoying the Thanksgiving meal with joy.

Cindy announced her pregnancy was entering the third trimester. Actually Cindy does not want to hold a baby shower, but all her family is very happy to hear the news of Cindy's pregnancy and bring gifts for her future baby. Cindy and Brian repeatedly thanked the whole family.

Grandma smiled happily to see the two families could get together and have fun.

Andy approached Kevin who was sitting on the terrace overlooking the beach after eating dinner.

"What is the relationship between you?"

Kevin smiled at Andy as he thrust out a box of cigarettes. Andy accepted it and took a stick and ignited it.

"Our relationship is improving. We can overcome the misunderstanding of that time, but we will be separated again for a long time." Kevin smokes his cigarette slowly and then exhales.

"Because of the new restaurant?"

"It's not just that." Kevin was silent for a moment.

"Then?" insist Andy.

"I have a two-year contract in New York, next month I start work."

"You're afraid your relationship will fail because of the distance?"

Kevin nodded slowly, followed by a laugh by Andy.

"Jeez Kevin, in this day and age you can use a lot of technology to communicate. You can use any means at any time. Hey, you're an IT expert, where are your ideas for getting closer to your loved ones when you're far away?" Andy patted Kevin on the shoulder while laughing.

Kevin smiled faintly at Andy's words, in his heart confirming Andy's words.

"Thank you for your advice. Honestly, I've never had a friend to share when I'm like this."

"Don't hesitate, if you need help, you can tell me. Maybe I can't help you right away, but I'll definitely listen and help as much as I can" Andy said sincerely.

"I don't know how Kara really feels about me. Josh is my best friend." Andy looked up at Kevin.

"You are you? Ever since losing Josh, he's been disrespecting himself. However, perhaps since meeting you, Kara seems to appreciate herself, even taking care of her face again."

"You mean?" kevin did not understand.

"Kara started using makeup again at this time, even a sweet smile often bloomed on her face."

The two men shared their stories and spent the night together.

Andy and Kevin felt like they were a good match for each other. Kara smiled seeing her brother and Kevin look familiar. She spends time joking with Vivian, Grandma, Mama and her aunt.

Cindy who was starting to look tired was ready to rest in her room.

Vivian is thrilled with the warmth in her current extended family. He missed being with his parents.

Morgan seduces Vivian into entering her agency, and is immediately banned by Kara.

Vivian must attend school and realize her dream of becoming an artist. Not being an artist.

Warmth was especially felt within the family, although outside the wind it began to feel cold a sign winter was about to begin.
