Kim woke up and looked around. She had no idea where she was. She knew this wasn't her place or even Jimmy's. She felt so hung over right now. She just needed to find her clothes and get out of here. She wasn't even sure if she wanted to know whose place this was. Kim climbed out of the bed and started pulling on her clothes. She looked up when she heard the door open. Oh hell, this could not be happening. How could she have spent the night with him?

"Hey you're awake. I went out to get breakfast and coffee. There wasn't really anything here to make," He said. He didn't even realize what happened until he woke up next to Kim this morning. All he remembered was they were both upset and drunk and then he woke up with her in his bed. Normally he wouldn't complain, but he didn't want this to happen when they were both drunk.

"Thanks Bosco, that's sweet. Do you remember anything that happened last night?" Kim asked. She still couldn't believe this was happening. Bosco, of all people. She shouldn't have done those jaggier bombs.

"No. All I remember is being upset and getting drunk. Do you remember anything?" Bosco asked. He always did like Kim. He just didn't want to be with her while they were both drunk. He could tell by looking at Kim that she wasn't happy this happened. He couldn't blame her, but now he knew he would never have a chance with her.

"It really was nice of you to go out and get breakfast but I have to go," Kim replied quickly. She couldn't deal with this right now. She just needed to get out of here. She needed to go home, take a shower, and forget this ever happened. How could she have been so stupid? Getting drunk and sleeping with Bosco. She really needed to start thinking things through better and stop getting drunk every time she was upset. She had just broken up with Jimmy again. She should have been used to it by now. She just needed to shut off her emotions. Act like nothing bothered her.

"Don't you think we should at least talk about this?" Bosco asked. He couldn't just let her leave. He wanted to talk about this. Most of the time when he woke up with a girl in his bed he couldn't get her out of there fast enough. Kim was different though. He worked with her a lot and he actually liked her.

"No I don't think we should talk about this. We were both drunk and didn't know what we were doing. It didn't mean anything. Can we just pretend this never happened? I really need to go," Kim said again. She grabbed her purse and ran out. Why would Bosco even want to talk about this? She already heard about what he was like and all the women he slept with. Since when did Bosco care? Maybe it was just because they worked together or something like that. She just couldn't talk about this. It was just a mistake. She was just going to act like nothing ever happened. Kim picked up her phone and looked at the time. She needed to get ready for work. She didn't want to be late on top of everything else that had already happened.


Bosco watched Kim walk out in disbelief. She really didn't care about this at all. How could she just walk out and pretend nothing happened? Something did happen and he didn't see it as a mistake. He really did like her. Sure they had gotten drunk and rushed into things, but if they talk about it maybe they could have a chance. He didn't want to act like nothing happened. He didn't want to forget about this.

Maybe she was just still in shock that this happened. Maybe she just needed some time. He hoped that was all it was. He wasn't used to this feeling. He wasn't used to actually caring about girls he brought home from bars. Kim wasn't like any other girl. He liked her for a while. Sure they almost hooked up in his car one night and he still hated that Jimmy interrupted them, but he thought he and Kim could actually have a relationship.

Bosco grabbed his car keys. He needed to get to work. He couldn't be late to roll again. He was already getting yelled at almost every day for that. Faith couldn't keep coming up with excuses anyway. He could really use to talk to Faith anyway. Faith always knew what to do. She was the smart one. He knew he would get a lecture about how he needed to stop bringing girls home from bars. He was used to it now though.

Kim walked into th


e firehouse. She made it with a couple minutes to spare. She ran upstairs and quickly got changed. She went back downstairs and saw Carlos at the table drinking coffee. She never thought her and Carlos would get along, but they actually did. Sure he still called her fruitloop, but that is till mild compared to all the other things he used to say about her.

"Oh Kim, Jimmy called. He said it was important," Carlos said. She looked like hell this morning. Normally she was more put together. He could tell by the look on her face after he mentioned Jimmy's name that them two broke up again. When were they going to give up? They obviously weren't meant to be together. They were always fighting and breaking up off and on. It seemed like more trouble than it was worth.

"I'll call him back later," Kim replied. She grabbed a cup and filled it up with coffee. She was going to need a lot more coffee to help get rid of this hang over. Her head was still killing her. She should have called out today. This was going to be a long day. She just hoped she didn't have to see Bosco at any of the calls she got. She already had enough issues today. She didn't need to add anymore. She wasn't even planning on calling Jimmy back. She was done with him for good this time.
