Hey guys, I'm here with a new story!
Inspiration: something stupid my boyfriend said yesterday but the whole plot bult itself up. This is a romantic comedy and may I say, I'm pretty excited!
BUT, as always, your opinion counts a lot, so you'll be the ones to tell me if I should continue or not. Can't have a story nobody reads.
I really hope this was okay as the first chapter and I hope you enjoy reading!
Desclaimer: I don't own Kickin it
It is said in America that a boy is born every 3 seconds and girl every 10. But that day, something different happened, only one boy was born, amidst 30 girls. Wow, I know.
That boy, he looks so smart! He looks just like me. In fact, that little boy is me! Jack, yes, the sole hero of this story. One of sisters said to me once, that when the nurse picked me up from the crib, I winked at her and that was my very first contact with a girl.
Let it be, my affair with that nurse didn't get anywhere...sadly. People fail in love, becoming drunkards, but me. I started drinking milk and then I started to grow up, into a joint family. Yes, mine was a joint family and it was amazing. The love was everywhere, everyone acted as a whole.
We were seven siblings. Six girls and I, their only Brother. My childhood was surrounded by two things: toys and children- I mean, girls.
An average child thinks that they'll be a doctor, an engeener or a pilot when they grow up. But in my case, God's plan was something different. Because of my upbringing, I started understanding all kind of girls' feelings and started helping those unfortunate boys, whom girls never even glanced at. Gradually, I became the 'Love Guru'.
Which brings me to where I am! A 25 year old successful man, with experience and will to make someone's love life much better.
These girls, so blind! You know, the 99% of girls gets the guy of their choice, but the 99% of boys don't ever find their girl. Poor things, their love story ends even before starting.
And this is where my work begins.
",",","
"Love Guru, I-"
"What's the girl's name?"
"Does it really matter?"
"It matters to me"
"Actually, even she l-l-l-l-"
"Loves you?"
"Yes! Yes! Yes! B-but she t-too-"
"She also stammers like you?"
Giggling, like I just cracked the most hilarious joke ever, he replies, "No! No!"
"Ohh, she feels shy!" I realize, but still feeling unsure as I feel like this guy is unpredictable.
"Yes!" He gets excited, looking like a little kid in a candy store. This is a love store.
"Look, your situation is very good!" I say, smiling.
"You start the conversation and she will finish it." Done.
Another guy now, this one is dressed in a shirt, sweater vest and shorts, giving off the feeling of being a nerd even though he's obviously not in high school. He sits in the chair, instantly bringing his hands up to his heart. He begins staring at me weirdly and I was about to say something to urge him to start, before he interrupted me by saying in a sing-song voice,
"My ignorant heart, what has happened to me? What is the antidote to my misery?" I raise my eyebrows, leaning back into my extremly comfortable spinning chair.
"What's your problem?" I ask, actually fearing the answer by the way this guy is acting.
"In this entire universe, amongst so many beautiful faces, I locked eyes with such a girl," he made a gesture with his fingers crossing his index finger over the other, still above his heart,
"That my life became radiant" He says, tuning his voice like he was reading a poem. I drop my head, feeling exasperated. I did say I was willing to make someone's love life better, but come on! Can't you give just one, just one decent guy to work on?
I close my eyes as I hear someone going out and someone else entring the room. I let out an exasperated sigh, before opening my eyes and daring to look up. Oh boy. Oh boy.
"Good morning sir" The kid standing infront of my desk grins cheekily at me, bowing down to make an even better impression on me. What is this? Seriously? Now I'm given a 10 year old boy?
"This is my very first love" Yes, yes I am. Thank you world. Thank you God! Note the sarcasm in my gratitude.
"Dear," I begin, looking at him with despair in my eyes, "Is this what the Teachers teach you at school?"
"I've fallen in love with my teacher" I turn my head to the side, chuckling slightly. This kid may be unbelievable right now, but his innocence is cute.
"By the way sir," He crosses his arms over his chest, titling his head to the side,
"Do you give discount to students?"
"Come after 10 years okay? Now go" It was the right thing to do. It was the best for both of us because a) he was too Young and b) I don't think I would've had the patience with him, if I agreed to help him.
At that, he pouted, again looking rather cute, and walked out, sticking out his bottom lip. He doesn't need much, he just has to keep getting good grades and the teacher will give him candy. Teachers have the habit of doing so with their kids (My elementary teacher did. To reward us, she used to give out candy to the Whole class). He'll be completly fine with that.
As soon as he walked out, a man in a smoking and big glasses came in and plopped down on the empty seat. I eyed him for a few moments, a disbelieving smile on my face as I shook my head slighlty. My situation is amusing right? I know! HA, it is even hilarious to me! I'm so lucky! Oh, how much I have the urge to laugh hysterically, hopefully scaring this new client away...
"Yes?" I finally ask, forcing a smile and pushing all my insane realeses to the back of my mind.
"I can't see her without my glasses...and she doesn't want to see me in glasses!" He cries out, pouting like the kid from before, just that on his grown face, it looks creepy...
"This is very simple! Remove your glasses" I tell him, saying my statment is a slow manner, for him to understand better without fliiping out. He does as I told him to and blinks a couple of times. He looks around him, still blinking rapidly.
"Fantastic, you're looking so good!" I say, trying to convince him as quickly as possible so he can walk out of here.
"Thank you!" He nods his head continuously in the wrong direction, at my left.
"Over here, react at the sound"

So like this, smart, stupid, carefree, nervous, I taught so many people to love! I made them love, get married! I was at the peak of my success! But...oh my, I'm getting emotional, exuse me for a second...my happiness didn't last for long. Do you know why? Do you want to know why? I was sure you did...
Bananas. I always loved that fruit...now I hate it! I couldn't hate it more, that yellow d-uhhh shaped tool! It's all his fault, all his! WHY?! No...damn that careless person more! Don't you know that throwing away things like that, just tossing them away like socks, in public, is bad? Do I need to teach you common sense too people? If yes, then you're doomed. You have no chance cause I can't teach it to you, you already didn't have it from the very beginning so how did you expect it will come your way so easily? Don't tell me you really did...
Bananas!
The mall was very crowded on this particular Sunday aftrenoon. Sales were on and giggling girls could be seen everywhere, wanting to try on every single dress they layed eyes on. Boys were spending all their money at the various restaurants, stuffing their tummies with food until they couldn't anymore and kids were running around, not caring if they lost track of their parents.
In the irregular and uneven mass that moved, somebody was chewing away on their banana. Finishing it and not finding a trash can anywhere near them, they just tossed the peel aside, for someone to slip onto.
And they did.
A tall guy, claid in a dress shirt, drees pants and black fancy shoes, slipped on the damn banana peel, letting out a rather 'manly' scream (it sounded like a little girl screaming, though the one next to him would disagree...she was better) and landed on his butt, right hand still clutching the brown briefcase.
He looked around him, gawking stupidly at his surroundings with wide eyes and open mouth. He was still trying to process what had just happened, not noticing the man heading towards him.
He squatted down infront of him, looking at him with an amused expression on his face.
"Jerry right?" He asked, letting out a smile. Jerry Martinez eyed him, a senseless smile appearing on his face also.
"Yes, and who are you?" He replied, his face going closer to Jack's who was forced to back away a bit due to Jerry invading his personal space with his nose.
"You have come here to meet me" Jack said, hoping that a bell rang in the still dazed man's head.
"Love Guru!" Jerry yelled in realization, before joining his hands togheter and reopening them, gesturing towards Jack.
"Love Guru, in front of me!" He said incredulously before Jack decided that it would be better for him to get a coffee because he had the bad impression that the guy was still more than a little dazed. He offered him a hand, which Jerry grabbed gratefully, still grinning the cheshire cat, which was starting to creep the daylights out of Jack. He forced a smile before they began walking, more like Jack leading them to a bar and Jerry following with a happy skip in every step.
"My first love" He turned to Jack, his smile never leaving his face. Upon hearing those words, Jack let out a real smile, amused at the silly man's enthusiasm.
"It's my first love, my family's first love!" Jerry said, flailing his arms around in ther air.
"Before this," he continued, "My parents, my grandparents, nobody loved at this level" Jerry said proudly, nodding his head at Jack. Jack nodded back, smiling unsurely.
"So what kind of a girl do you want?" He questioned, wanting to get started and get it over with already.
"She should be beautiful, intelligent! She should have a kind nature" Jack smiled
"In this time of inflation, how can you manage to afford three girls?" He questioned, chuckling slightly.
"Tell me" He urged him, as they stopped walking and stood infront of a big poster and vending machine. Jack stuffed his hands in his back pockets, looking at Jerry expectantly. Jerry furrowed his eyebrows, condused. The smile still never left his face and Jack was getting worried for his face, not wanting for it to get stuck like that or else, God help the poeple who'll ever run into this man.
"What? No, it's a three in one girl who won my heart. She is true at heart." Jerry brought up his hand to clutch his heart, sighing dreamly before gesturing his arm behind them.
"There she is!" He pointed towards the poster, where a lady with glasses was reading her book. Jack turned towards her and the lady looked up. When she caught sight of the men, one of them pointing at her, she smiled sheepishly before lowering her gaze back to her book, obviously getting shy as a blush appeared on her chubby cheeks. Jack's eyes widened slightly as he tried to hold back his laugh, not wanting to be rude.
"She is hale and hearty." He turned back to Jerry, nodding his head reassuringly at him. "Don't worry, your work will be done" Jerry's eyes widened and his smile grew even bigger, so much that this time, Jack thought his face would literally crack.
"Swag! Whooo! Brother!" Jerry hugged Jack, who didn't even have the time to porcess what was happening before Jerry pulled back and grabbed his hand, bringing it up to his forehead.
"I am so lucky" Jack shook his head as Jerry did the same with his other hand before letting go and looking up at Jack gratefully.
"Jack bro, you're such a great man" Jack smiled, as if to say 'thank you'. It was his job after all.
Jerry turned towards the poster and rushed towards it, making Jack raise his eyebrows in confusion. The lady had walked away...
"You hear that Grace?" Jerry leaned over and kissed the picture of Grace O'Doherty on the poster. He pulled away and began blowing kisses to her as Jack stared at him disbelievingly. What the hell was he doing?
"Hello!" Jack yelled, making Jerry turn towards him with that same silly smile.
"What are you doing Jerry?" Jack asked, eager to know why the hell was Jerry being all kissy-kissy with the picture of Grace O'Doherty. Grace O'Doherty.
"You love one girl and you kiss another one" He said disapprovingly as Jerry's smile was washed away and a confused expression followed. He stood up indignatly, with a frown on his face.
"What do you mean? I kissed the girl that I want to marry!" He gestured towards Grace again, before continuing, "She is Grace, she is the lucky one" He smiled, as Grace's beautiful smile flashed back at him. To Jerry, and to every guy in the country, she looked like a godness with her long brown hair flowing in the wind, big brown eyes and that flirty and kind smile of hers.
Jack couldn't believe his own ears. Was he hearing right? Or was he going nuts? What is this?!
"Hero, do you know who she is?!" Jack questioned, a weirded out expression taking over his face. Was he for real now?
"Grace O'Doherty. Daughter of Tom O'Doherty. Owner of $5 billion" He said exasperated, trying to make Jerry understand and to bring him back to his senses. He couldn't believe it. He really couldn't. No matter how much he tried, he coulnd't put his finger on this man's way of thinking.
"Not just you, even I can't sweep her off her feet!" That has to be enough explanation. He wasn't trying to be rude and mean, he just wanted to make the man understand that none of them stood a chance with her. Someone like Jerry, for someone like Grace...no, not working. Mental image failed.
"Forget about it dude! No chance!" Jack shook his head as Jerry stared at him, his jaw dropped to the floor.
"Impossible! Impossible!" Jack repeated again, more slowly. Jerry began advancing to him, shocked out of his mind. How?
"Jack bro...impossible?" Jerry repeated, feeling his heart break by the second. He really loved Grace. His Grace...why couldn't he see that?
"I had heard that there is no such work in your dictionary." Jerry said, desperatly hoping that Jack was playing a joke.
"Please say it's not true" Jack shook his head and looked at the pleading man with a straight face.
"This is the truth Jerry!" Jack insisted
"Jerald Alejandro Martinez!" Jerry yelled, emphasizing with weird hand gestures and faliling his arms around wildly. Jack stared at him as if he was crazy, which he was. That's exactly what he was. A crazy guy with crazy big-ass impossible dreams.
"Yes! I could befriend Obama and Baghdadi, but your relationship with her" He gestured towards the poster, "Is impossible!" Jack turned back to Jerry (Keep in mind, this is just a story. I just needed a paragon, no pun intended.)
"Just forget it man!" Jack yelled as he turned around and began to walk away. This was crazy! Yes, he was 'Love Guru' but not God...or anyone else with powers. Only such a person could give Jerry what he wanted, and that person was not him.
"B-but Jack bro! Jack bro listen to me!" Jerry called out, turning to the poster of Grace and then looking back at Jack
"Jack bro, Obama? Baghdadi? That's international matter and this...this is just a small love story" Jerry tried to reason, looking down but Jack kept on walking away from him.
"Where is he taking the whole matter?" Jerry mumbled to himsefl, staring after Jack.
"Jack bro!"
Sooo, how was that? Please, leave your opinions in a review, it would mean a lot! Should I continue this or nay?
Thanks for reading and until next time,
