K/S ... ▇▇▇ he wanted her. he's wanted her for too long now, and she knows this. right? - he hadn't been hiding the fact. he showed up at her apartment, he brought champagne and chocolate covered strawberries. he left his daughter at home, to go romance her. AND THEN SHE SAID NO, she was already married. he was too late, which was unfair. because he may have not met stella kidd first, but he'd dreamt of her for so long. he'd been wishing, wanting for someone like her. for someone to share his heart with. yes he had the shays at home, but that wasn't the same. leslie shay had becca dawson to share her life and thoughts with, to get that intimacy. the one kelly craved so badly that he kept on stumbling home with random women. not to his own place - not after he became a dad. that place was sacred. he also didn't meet anyone at molly's, because he wasn't looking for anything serious. he wanted stella. but she was married and didn't want him back.
but then she started at fifty one, and they became friends, or well. the closest you can be as friends when one part is in love and the other is - freshly divorced. now she was working a closing shift at molly's, and kelly happened to be there. again. just like he was whenever she was closing. he likes to make sure she gets home safe, that work is safe - that no gross customers hits on her. she can defend herself, but does she have to? when she looks like someone who's been fighting for herself all her life? is it so bad that he wants to be there for her? kelly plays with his beer, the same beer he's been nursing ever since he came in two hours ago. it's empty, and it was luke warm for the last bit of liquid too. but he didn't order another one, he was driving home. hopefully he'd drive her home too, but something had been bugging him all night. how didn't she know? and if she did, why did she never say anything? " how's your dating life? seeing anyone new? " please say no, GOD PLEASE SAY NO.
↳ starter, featuring … ( @oncalls ) stella kidd.
