Chapter 5

Kayleigh sat at her laptop typing up some things for Criss. It was eight am and she was still yawning, having had another night of not getting much sleep. This was really beginning to bother her and she was going to have to ask the man to stop waking her up. He was still trying to get a message to her about Criss. A message that wasn’t very clear yet.

There was a meeting going on with J.D., Costa, Johnny Thompson and various other people from Criss’s entourage. They were discussing a particular stunt Criss wanted to do.

As usual, J.D was fretting over it and trying to tell Criss how dangerous it was. She looked over at them only to find Costa looking at her and quickly looking away when she turned her head. Kayleigh smiled to herself. “Stop it!” she told herself and shook her head and continued her work.

“Kayleigh, are you listening to this? Maybe you can talk some sense into Criss.” Johnny told her.

“Ha! Not me. I’m staying out of this. Not in my job description.” Kayleigh told him making him laugh.

“Smart girl” he said.

Kayleigh went about her work, oblivious to what was going on around her.

”Is everything ok?” Criss said, suddenly appearing behind her making her jump.

“Yes, Criss, why do you ask?”

“You seem preoccupied. Something is wrong.” Criss looked at her very serious.

“No, nothing is wrong. Just had a little trouble sleeping last night, that’s all.” she told him. It wasn’t a complete lie, she thought.

“Are you sure? Let me know if something is wrong.”

“Hey, don’t try your mind reading tricks on me, mister. They won’t work!” Kayleigh said, trying to put some humor into the conversation. There is no way she could tell him what was really wrong.

”Oh i wouldn’t be so sure about that!” Criss said waving his fingers in front of her eyes. “You see right now I am sensing that you want a cookie.” he said and produced a cookie in front of her making Kayleigh laugh.

”You are something else! No, I wasn’t thinking about a cookie but since you went through the trouble....” she grabbed it from his hand and took a bite.

Criss leaned closer to her. “Seriously, you tell me if you need to talk, ok?” He was staring into her eyes making her feel almost......uncomfortable but not exactly. It was a feeling she couldn’t describe. It was like he was trying to read her mind.

Kayleigh laughed nervously. “Ok, I’ll keep that in mind.” She turned her attention back to the computer screen. Although she and Criss were forming somewhat of a friendship bond, there is no way she could tell him what was on her mind. He’d never believe her. Criss lingered there for another minute then walked away. Kayleigh found herself wondering if Criss really could read her mind.

The next Sunday everyone was at Criss’s house for a dinner party. The whole family was there plus most of the people who worked on Mindfreak and various friends of Criss’ that Kayleigh had never met. Dexter and Johnny kept making jokes about how Criss had finally given everyone a day off. “He’s a slave driver, I tell you!” Johnny was saying.

“Hey, slaves don’t get paid!” Criss retorted.

It was going on nine pm and everyone seemed to have a bit of a buzz. Kayleigh got to have a real conversation with Criss’s mom, Dimitra. She was such a sweet lady.

“You know, I think my son has a crush on you.” Dimitra said, shocking Kayleigh.

“Huh, Criss?” Kayleigh said, confused.

“No! Costa! Can’t you tell?” Dimitra replied.

“Oh” Kayleigh said with a sheepish grin. “Well, um.....I, uh, I don’t know.”

Dimitra patted her hand. “Oh come on, i’ve seen you two sneaking looks at each other.”

“Stop it, Dimitra!” Kayleigh said, trying her best not to smile.

“I really don’t want to get involved with anyone right now. I don’t have time for it and it will interfere with my job.”

“Oh please. Don’t tell me that. There is always time for romance. Costa is a nice boy and he needs a sweet girl like you. I think you two are a good match.” Dimitra said putting her arm around Kayleigh and giving her a squeeze. “Christopher would be delighted.”

Kayleigh shook her head and laughed. “Dimitra, stop playing matchmaker!”

Dimitra hugged her once more and got up. Kayleigh sighed, watching her walk away.

Kayleigh mingled with everyone, listening to Criss’ s mom and brothers telling stories about Criss that made everyone laugh. Every once in a while she would catch Costa looking at her then see Dimitra watching and smiling and nodding her head. “Oh boy” Kayleigh thought. “What am I going to do?”

Kayleigh walked out on the back deck to smoke a cigarette and suddenly Costa appeared at her side. He lit his cigarette and said “Hello”. Suddenly Kayleigh felt nervous. “Hi” she said back to him.

“So what do you think of this crazy family?” he asked her.

“Oh you guys are great! I love how all of you are so close and get along so well.”

“We don’t always get along so well.” he laughed.

“Well, a lot better than my family.” Kayleigh told him.

“Where is your family?” Costa asked her. They were both leaning against the railing of the deck looking at each other.

“Louisiana” Kayleigh told him.

“Ah, a southern family! Are you close?”

“No not really. I mean I get along with my mother but we aren’t what you would call close. I haven’t been home much since I was 18.” Kayleigh wondered why she said that much to him. She never talked about her family to anyone.

“Oh, that’s a shame. I couldn’t imagine not being near my family.” Costa looked into her eyes with a look of sympathy.

“It’s ok, really. We get along, we just aren’t what you’d call close.”

“Do you have any brothers or sisters?” Costa asked her.

“I have two sisters. Sarah is the oldest and Angela is the youngest. They are still living in my home town and I talk them on the phone a couple of times a month. They are both married with children and they have come to visit me in New York a couple of times.” she told him.

“You like being the middle child?” Costa asked. She knew he was the middle child too.

“It’s ok. I don’t think of it much either way. You?”

“It’s never bothered me because we’ve always been so close.”

They stood in silence for a moment then Costa smiled at her and said,

“Hey, you know next week is mom’s birthday and we are all going to be in Vegas again. We’ll be celebrating with a big dinner. Would you like to go?”

Kayleigh was momentarily startled. “Well, it’s a family thing. I don’t want to intrude.”

Costa laughed. “You won’t be intruding. You’ll be my date if you want to go with me that is.”

Kayleigh smiled and just knew her face was turning red. “Oh, well then yes, i’ll go.”

Costa smiled at her and kissed her on the cheek making Kayleigh blush even more. “Let’s go” he put his hand on the small of her back and led her back into the house.

Dimitra and Joann were looking at them and whispering. Kayleigh mouthed the words, “stop it” to the two of them which made them laugh.

Kayleigh walked past them into the living room where Criss, J.D, Dexter, Johnny and a couple of Criss’s friends were talking, laughing and cutting up. Criss walked up to Kayleigh and put his arm around her and whispered in her ear, “So what is going on between you and my brother?”

Kayleigh looked at him and he was grinning ear to ear. She could tell he was really buzzed. “Oh man, not you too! Has your mother been talking to you?”

Criss laughed and said, “Well some but i’ve noticed lately that Costa has been asking questions about you. He seems pretty interested.”

“Criss, look, I have a job to do and i never get involved with people I work with.......”

That made Criss laugh even harder. “Oh get over it. You work for me not him. He has nothing to do with your job. If you two like each other then I think it’s fantastic.”

Criss leaned his forehead against her temple. “I think you two would make a great couple. Invite me to the wedding.” he laughed and kissed her temple.

“Oh, good lord, Criss, stop it! Aren’t you getting a little ahead of yourself? Does everyone in your family play matchmaker?”

“Yeah, we want to get Costa married off.” Criss laughed.

Kayleigh shook her head and laughed at him. “You are too much.”

She walked over to the fireplace to get away from the conversation and began looking at the pictures. There was a picture of the whole family at a restaurant. This one made Kayleigh stop. She stood there staring at it.

“Criss!” she turned around. “Criss!”

Criss turned to her. “What?”

Kayleigh’s heart was beating fast. “Who.....who is this?”

Kayleigh was pointing to the man in the photo next to Dimitra.

“That’s my father. He died a few years ago.” Criss replied.

Kayleigh was so startled that she almost dropped her drink.

“This...this man is....your father?” Kayleigh’s eyes were wide.

“Yes, it is. Kayleigh, what’s wrong?” Criss suddenly looked serious as if he’d lost his buzz.

She had been feeling someone in this house and wasn’t sure, until now, who it was.

“N...n..nothing. I...um, I was just curious that’s all.” she was trying to cover up her shock.

Criss looked at her puzzled and narrowed his eyes.

“What’s up?”

“Really, it’s nothing. He looks just like one of my uncles that’s all.”

“Oh ok” Criss said, but Kayleigh could see he really didn’t believe her.

She smiled nervously at him and walked away. The man in the photo was the man who had been visiting her almost every night for the past month.
