"WHAT?!" I yelled at my parents who stood in front of me Grace and Jack. I can't believe I have to stay in a hotel room a door away from him and even worse Grace is going to want to hang out with him because he's bring Jerry! Worse part is WE'RE LEAVING IN A FEW HOURS!
We just checked in and I am so not ready for this! On the plane the seats face each other. Grace and Jerry sat down quick next to each other leaving me and Jack across from them.
I groaned.
"Come on, Kim! At least you don't have to look at them." I giggled and felt my eyes falling. I stayed awake enough to watch Grace snuggle up with Jerry and Jack give Jerry a thumbs up. I rolled my eyes and leaned back and felt myself getting tired. I unbuckled my seatbelt, we were told we could.
"Getting tired?" Jack whispered. I noticed Jerry and Grace were asleep so I looked at him and nodded. He lifted to arm rest between our chairs and patted his lap. I rested my head on it while he played with my hair. I was so tired I didn't even know I said it out loud but I said, "I miss this." And he chuckled and agreed. Soon I was asleep.
I woke up and lifted the window shade to see were close to there. Jack was already awake but Jerry and Grace were still sleeping. I smirked and began to count down my fingers. On 1 Jack and I both kicked Grace and Jerry awake. They shook awake and blushed. I rolled my eyes and out my seat belt on like everyone else.
"Kim?" Jack whispered I looked at him. "I'm excited for this vacation to begin." I rolled my eyes.
"I'm excited for it to end."
"Come on, enjoy it! You've had a lot of stress the past years. You deserve this." I laughed. He was literally calling our relationship stress. I'm not saying he's wrong!
After getting to the Hotel I was already tired again. I jumped on Jack's back and begged him to carry me to the rooms. Turns out the kids rooms are next to each other and on the 3rd floor and the adults on the 5th. The hotel had a pool and a private beach!
In the morning, Grace and I literally ran to the beach we set up and I began to tan in my bright yellow bikini. Minutes later there was a shadow above me. I put my sunglasses over my eyes and see Jack throwing a towel over me.
"What the hell?" I said throwing the towel and looking at Jack setting a towel down next to my chair.
"Cover up. You show too much!" I rolled my eyes.
"Really? When were you my protective older brother?!" I began tanning again when a shadow was over me again.
"We're going swimming."
"Have fun!" I laid back and relaxed when the shadow returned. "What now?" I looked up and saw a hot guy with a shirt off.
"Sorry but I have to warn you there are some real jerks that are going to come up to you and hit on you." I smiled and sure enough he was right. I turned them down right away. I got up and went to get a soda when I saw that guy again.
"Hey!" I said, "What's your name?"
"Brody" He flashed a smile at me and I almost melted.
"I'm Kim." I shook his hand and asked me for my phone. I was confused.
"Why?"
"Trust me Kim." I gave it to him and he handed it back to me. I looked at it and say a new contact.
"Text me sometime" I left and saw that the guys were out of the water. Jack looked at me confused.
"Where were you?" He asked.
"Getting a soda" I said, grabbing my stuff.
"But you don't have a soda?" Grace said.
I looked down and said, "Oh I guess I forgot." We got back to the hotel. I texted Brody all day! I and the guys went out to eat.
We sat down and ordered. I started laughing from a comment Brody made and Grace gave me a weird look.
"Who have you been texting all day?" Jack and Jerry seemed to stop to listen to my answer.
"Just a guy I met while you guys were in the water." I shrugged and sent a message back saying I had to go and that I was eating. "Grace, I'll tell you about him back at the hotel."
"Hey, I want to know about him?" Jack cut in.
"Okay!" I said putting my elbows on the table and drinking my root beer. "I thought he was so gorgeous with his rock hard six pack and-"
"OKAY I don't need to know!" I smirked and looked at the waitress. She was about our age and gave a fake smile to Grace and I as she gave me our food. She smiled at Jerry and winked at Jack. I felt a weird buzz in my stomach but it soon disappeared when looked at his plate and looked at her waiting for an answer…?
"I'm taken." He handed her back a torn piece of paper. I took a quick glance and say a phone number. The waitress looked at me and glared.
"Well isn't she lucky!" She hissed. I rolled my eyes, not even in the mood to explain that that had happened with him and I and I was never going back. I started poking at my food when I felt eyes watching me. I looked up and saw everyone at the table staring at me. I began to whip my face, thinking something was on it. I felt Jack pull my hand to my side; he sat next to me. I turned to him and gave him the what-do-you-want face. It took me sometime to figure out what just happened.
"So, you're taken?" I asked, as if I didn't care. I could hear him mutter finally under his breath.
Everyone went back to eating and soon the awkwardness subsided and Jerry was, of course, doing something stupid. Grace had a what-are-you-doing look but Jack and I just laughed. I felt Jack scoot towards me but didn't care to make a note of it. I felt his arm travel to the other side of my waist. For some weird reason, I left it there. After an hour of talking his around moved around my neck. I felt my phone buzz on my lap. I looked at it and saw a text from Brody.
From: Brody
Kim, I know you are probably still eating and all but I was wondering if you would like to go on a date with me. I know we just meet but you seem really cool.
I looked at Grace and then at Jack. He was reading my text and I could see the anger in his eyes. "Hey, Grace. Are we doing anything tomorrow night?" I asked.
"Nope" She said, popping the p. "Why?"
"Oh! I'm going on a date with Brody." I answered texting him back. I got an immediate reply.
From: Brody
GREAT! J
I could feel Jack tighten his grip on me. I looked at him.
"Kim…" He said with jealousy in his eyes. "I don't think this" I put a hand over his lips.
"Jack, I'm fine and remember you're taken." I turned back to my food and finished.
We got back to the hotel, Grace and I changed into our pjs and went over to the guy's room. Jerry was on the bed in the corner of the room. Grace went and sat next to him.
"Grace, will you go on a date with me tomorrow night?" I heard Jerry ask.
"Of course!" I could hear the excitement in her voice. She lay down next to him and I sat down on what I think is Jack's bed. Jack came in. He had only pajama pants on. I stared in amazement. Grace told me that he started working out a lot after our break up but wow. Karate sure does him good. He layed down next to me and we started watching The Night of Horror! Threw the whole movie I hid my face in Jack's shoulder and every now and again I would hear a Girlish scream and look at Jerry huddled up into Grace. I looked up at Jack and saw his smirking. I had no clue why until I looked at our position. I am almost on top of him. His arms were around me and my face in his shoulder and one hand on him abs. I quickly got up.
"Yawnnn!" I fake yawned. "Movie over! Got to get to bed bye!" I ran out of that room as fast as I could. I slammed the door and leaned against the side of my bed.
"I will never fall for his charm!" I repeated over and over to myself. I quickly went to bed and tried my hardest to not dream of Jack and his abs.
