"Mr Richardson, we are going to have to pop your shoulder back into place and wrap it." Kevin had been rushed to the Denver General Hospital and the doctor was in the process of explaining what had to be done.
"Do what you have to do, doc," Kevin grasped Skylar's hand in his and squeezed. He looked into her warm green eyes and he felt better. The vibes coming from her had a mesmorizing and healing effect on him.Kevin grimaced and yelped as the doctor popped his shoulder back into the socket. Skylar's eyes welled with tears as she saw the pain that Kevin was in.
"All done, now you will have to keep the sling on for at least 7 days and you can't get the dressing wet. Here is a prescription for some anti inflammatories and some pain killers."
Kevin got up from the chair weakly and held Skylar's hand as they walked to the jeep. She helped him into the car and buckled him in. Kevin fell asleep on the way home and Skylar decided to get him into bed and then she would go and fill the prescriptions.

She had managed to get Kevin to wake up long enough to get into bed, she covered him with the covers and as she tucked him in she kissed his forehead and whispered in his ear, "Sleep tight my fallen angel," and she walked out into the crisp Colorado air.

Kevin stirred and as he rolled over he felt the rush of pain and bolted up in bed. He reached to cradle his arm and prayed that the pain would soon subside. He looked on the bedside table and saw a note written in beautiful penmanship.
~K~
I wanted you to rest so I have gone to the store to get your medicine. Stay in bed and relax. I will bring home dinner and we can spend a quiet night in watching movies.
~S~
Kevin held the note to his chest and could feel the passion flowing from each stroke of her pen. He put his head back on the pillow and was soon fast asleep.

Skylar had gotten's Kevin's prescription and she was walking back to the car, carrying fresh french bread and fresh angel hair pasta she had bought at the deli when she came across a t shirt store. She went in and looked around and after looking through racks of tacky t-shirts she found two that caught her eye. She bought them and walked out of the store.

Kevin heard soft and gentle singing and as he opened his eyes he saw Skylar dancing around the kitchen as she cooked. She was singing along to the strains of Can You Feel the Love Tonight by Elton John, and Kevin could not help but smile as the tiny woman prepared dinner. Skylar was reaching for the lid of the pot when she felt someone watching her. She turned and saw an amused Kevin propped up on pillows watching her.
"And how long have you been up?"
"Long enough to catch the pre dinner entertainment," Kevin smiled as he patted the space in the bed beside him. Skylar took off the cloth she had tied around her waist and climbed into bed with Kevin.
"How are you feeling?" she asked softly.
"Better now that you are here, Something smells good, what is it?"
"Angel hair pasta with herb chicken"
"MMm, you can cook. Now I really like you," Kevin teased.
"Well how about I go finish dinner and then I will crawl into bed with you and we can eat and watch tv till we fall asleep?"
Kevin brushed the hair that had escaped from Skylar's messy knot and kissed her nose. "That's an offer I cannot refuse"

"Reeg, I had a wonderful weekend. We went to our house in Colorado and when we were in town we met Kevin, you know from the group the Backstreet Boys, well anyway we posed for pictures," Kathie Lee was explaining about her weekend on her show when the topic of Skylar and Kevin came up.
"Who is this stunning young lady?" Regis asked pointing to Skylar.
"Well I am not sure but let me tell you they make a stunning couple and they seemed really sweet together," Kathie Lee gushed.
Skylar dropped her fork as hers and Kevin's picture was flashed on tv along with Cody and Cassidy's. "Oh my God I am on tv."
Kevin laughed at Skylar's reaction but deep down he wanted to be able to
be
on Regis and Kathie Lee and tell them that he was in love and that they
were
in fact a couple, but he couldn't because he wasn't even sure where they
stood.
