Kickin' it with the Cousins:
Chapter 1-
A/N: So I love kickin' it (even if it did finish like forever ago) and am always reading fics about it, so I decided to try to write my own. This is the first proper story I've ever posted as my only other one is a one-shot so please don't hate me if it's terrible. I hope you enjoy and please review, Emma x
Disclaimer- I obviously don't own kickin' it… sad times.
enjoy!
*Kim's POV*
I sighed as I dragged myself out of bed- I mean, 6:30am for goodness sake! Needless to say, I am not a morning person. I trudged into the bathroom and took a shower before heading back to my room to get dressed; I pulled on some black, ripped skinny jeans and a baby pink vest top, slipping on my matching baby pink vans. I quickly curled my hair and did some light make up, and just as I was finishing getting dressed, my phone dinged with a text from Jack.
'on my way now, cya in a few- J xx' I smiled when I saw the x's, I was too embarrassed to actually admit it but I was seriously falling hard for Jack. I texted back, and then ran down stairs and grabbed a cereal bar for breakfast.
*Jack's POV*
I was just heading out the house when I heard my phone signal that Kim had replied- I couldn't help but blush slightly at the heart emoji she had added at the end, I seriously liked Kim but I just hoped it wasn't too obvious.
I arrived at Kim's house a few minutes later and her mum answered the door
"Jack honey, there's no need to knock! Come on in". I loved Kim's parents, my mum died when I was six so Mrs Crawford is kind of like a second mum to me. Just them Kim walked out the kitchen, shrugging on her black denim jacket as she did; I try not to think about how beautiful she looks as she grabs her bag and joins me. We were just leaving when Mrs Crawford called out " Kim honey, don't forget to pick Morgan up after Karate tonight", Kim rolled her eyes, laughing, she replied "Don't worry mum, I think I still remember from the other 10 trillion times you've told me". Laughter could be heard from the kitchen "love you too sweetie", and with that, we left for school.
As we were leaving a shot Kim a curious look- "so who's this Morgan guy Kimmy". She rolled her eyes, she claims to not like it when I call her Kimmy but I know she secretly does, "is someone a little jealous Jackie" She retaliated, giggling "Morgan's my cousin and SHE'S super nice, I think you'd like her" I laughed, I know we're not dating, but if Kim was going out wit another guy, I just think I would feel uncomfortable.
"Well that's a coincidence- my cousin Jacob is flying in tonight too"
"we should go to the airport together after practice then"
"sounds good" I smiled at the thought of that extra time with Kim, as we headed into school.
*Kim's POV*
The day dragged by; I was eager to see Morgan again, but I had to admit, a large part of me was just as excited about spending the long drive to and from the airport with Jack- I could never say this aloud though, it would probably just make our friendship awkward.
The bell finally rang, signalling my last period- and only one that day with Jack- chemistry. I can't say I am ever going to be a world-renowned scientist that's for sure, and our teacher wasn't exactly all that with it, so it was the perfect time to sit and chat with Jack (and Jerry, who sat behind Jack). "Hey guys" I said as the two boys walked in, Jerry waffling on about something in Spanish again, whilst Jack was clearly completely lost. "hey" he smiled as he sat down. That smile gave me butterflies in my stomach every time, 'ugh, shut up Kim'.
"so, we're going straight from the dojo tonight right" Jack asked,
"Yeah, my mum said she would pick us both up after practice. Morgan's 17, with straight black hair and pretty pale skin- so basically nothing like me".
"Oh Jacob's 17 too! He's pretty tanned with dark blonde hair and light blue eyes. Maybe they'll get along then"
"They'd better" I replied laughing.
"Okay, so would someone care to tell me what's happening right now" Jerry butted in, bring the pair back to reality- it turns out they had been talking for longer than they realised. He always felt like a bit of a third wheel in this class, as he was the only other one of the gang in this class with these two, and even Jerry could see they were completely in love with each other- even if they wouldn't admit it to themselves. "I'm afraid I don't speak kick- and once you too start talking, your both oblivious to everyone else, lets be real here". The two rolled their eyes at the ship name their friends had created for them, which resulted in a swift kick under the table from Jack.
"Sorry Jer- We have to head to the airport tonight to pick up our cousins Morgan and Jacob; you'll probably meet them at practice tomorrow actually".
"wow they're both arriving on the same day- that's a coincidence don't you think" Jerry responded
"Yeah, I guess it is" Jack said, smiling over at me. 'There go those butterflies again' I thought to herself as the they continued the conversation.
*Jack's POV*
As soon as the bell rang we all headed out of school and off to karate; we all trained for two hours, sparring, board breaking, and practicing our various routines. Just before the end of the session, Rudy suggested that me and Kim spar- I accepted but I felt guilty every time, I didn't like the thought of hurting her, but she HATED it when you went easy on her so you just had to go for it.
We sparred for a food 10 minutes before I flipped her, ending the match. In this time the entire dojo had turned to watch us, along with Grace, who was here to pick Jerry up presumably. I helped Kim up and my arm was filled with the same electric sensation as always whenever we touch.
As soon as we were both changed, we headed out towards Kim's mum's car
"have a nice date you two" Jerry called over to us, laughing, hand intertwined with Grace's. Kim swiftly whacked him around the head, earning a groan from him, before she daintily hopped in to the car, me following, trying to keep the laughter at bay.
*Kim's Mum's POV*
As the two teens got in the car I resisted the urge to roll my eyes; they have been friends since the minute Jack came to Seaford and even I can see their feelings for each other- it seems the only ones who can't is themselves. They were chatting in the back and I can see the way they look at each other, but every time I try to say anything to Kim, she just blushes and claims that they are 'just friends'.
Once we arrived at the airport I could see Morgan over by the baggage collection talking to a boy- I have no idea who he is and I don't even think Jack and Kim have really noticed we're even at the airport yet. "Lovebirds" I called to them with a wink, causing them both to start blushing furiously. I laugh, "let's go and find your cousins then"
*Jacob's POV*
I finished packing up my stuff to head down to Seaford- I'm super excited to get away from the hustle and bustle of NYC and spend the summer in Seaford. I love New York, don't get me wrong, I just like to get away from it all from time to time, and Jack is awesome. We're really close; it's probably to do with the fact that he lost his mum when he was six and my dad walked out on us when I was five, so we know what each other have been through. We chat all the time but I'm supper excited to see him for real, and check out this dojo he's always going on about. Unlike Jack, I have never really been supper into karate- I'm more of the basket ball type (much to the dismay of our grandfather). I am really interested to meet his friends though- he talks about them a lot, especially this girl Kim, who is apparently his best friend.
I sat in the departure lounge, waiting to board, when a girl a few seats across from me caught my eye. She was beautiful- her hair a long, shiny, chocolate brown, and her deep brown eyes glistened in the sunlight of the airport. Her bag's tag said that her name was Morgan- I knew she was on my flight as we were waiting at the same departure gate, but knowing my luck, she would by on the other end of the plane.
*Morgan's POV*
I searched for my seat on the busy plane, and was relieved find that it was next to teenage boy, around my age, and not some whiny baby or terrified man. I sat down and smiled at him, introducing myself.
"HI, I'm Morgan" I smiled. 'he's pretty cute' I thought, as he replied.
"hey, my name's Jacob"
"nice to meet you. So how come you're going to Seaford?"
"I'm going to visit my cousin Jack- he's the best."
"Haha, that's weird- I'm visiting my cousin too". We chatted for the whole plane journey and when we arrived, we quickly exchanged number and socials, before getting off the plane.
We were just talking as we got our bags, when I heard Kim call out to me "Hey Morgs, over here!". I smiled and began to head over, when I heard the guy standing next to Kim call out "Jacob!". I turned around, that was Jacob's cousin? He knew Kim?! (although from by the looks of it they were closer than just knowing each other) "I see you two have met " Kim said smiling as we hugged tightly. "Haha yeah- we were sat together on the plane" Jacob replied as he went over to bro hug Jack whilst I said 'hi' to Mrs Crawford.
*Jack's POV*
"So where's your dad?" Jacob asked me.
"he's back home. We're gonna carpool with Kim"
"Okay cool" he replied as we all headed out to the car.
Once we were all in the car, Mrs Crawford in the front, Jack and Jacob in the middle, and Kim and Morgan in the back, they headed off home.
"so what's going on with you and Jack then" Morgan whispered to Kim, giving her a playful nudge.
"n…nothing" Kim stammered- she never was a good liar. Morgan rolled her eyes, "if you say so…"
"Hey Jack" Jacob whispered over to me, "what's up with you and Kim then"
"we're just friends…" I muttered back awkwardly. I looked over at Jacob but he didn't look all that convinced.
*Morgan's POV*
"we're just friends…" I heard Jack mutter. Kim seemed oblivious to the conversation going in front of us but I could here Jack giving the same (untrue) response as Kim when questioned about their relationship. Just then, I got a DM from Jacob…
'we have got to get these two together. The sexual tension is unreal' I tried my hardest not to start laughing as I replied,
'so true'.
'want to meet up tomorrow afternoon and figure out a plan whilst they're at karate?' I smiled at the fact that he wasn't that into karate either- Kim has always loved it but I have always been more into netball and basketball.
'yeah' I responded 'sounds good'.
hope you enjoyed! xxx
