You're My Everything
-Two-
The next morning was beautiful, both Jimmy and Kate sat on their balcony as the sun came up, Kate in one of Jimmy's shirts while Jimmy relaxed in a t-shirt and his boxers, holding her close as they lay on one of the sunloungers they had on the balcony. The sound of the early morning traffic rose through the air, surrounding the pink clouds in that gorgeous red sky as the beautiful golden sun began to emerge over the horizon, and Jimmy sighed, pressing a kiss to Kate's temple.
"Come on, let's get some breakfast, huh?"
Neither of them had work until the next day, both of them working Monday to Friday jobs, nine to five too. But it suited them because there was no work involved at home after that. Kate worked in an office with Pamela Barnes, girlfriend of Jimmy's best friend, Dean Winchester, Anna Milton, Jimmy's twin brother Castiel's girlfriend and then Jess Moore, the girlfriend of Dean's little brother, Sam. The girls were just secretaries really, but they got good salaries since all of them were amazingly quick at completing their work.
As for Jimmy, he worked with Gabriel at the Roadhouse with Kate's sister Jo and her parents, Ellen and Bill. Since both their daughters were dating the Novaks, Ellen and Bill thought it would be good to get them into the family business, as Gabriel and Jimmy didn't want a boring office job. Jo and Gabriel had the same shift while Jimmy had the nine to five shift so he could go home and spend time with Kate, which he thought really good of her parents to be so considerate. Dean was a mechanic with Jimmy's oldest brother Michael, while Sam was working as a lawyer, as Jimmy's second oldest brother Lucifer was too. They all had good jobs that earned good pay, each job leaving them with a free weekend to all hang out in...normally at the Roadhouse.
Jimmy and Kate spent their Sunday relaxing and watching movies, as they usually did, curled up together on their soft, stylish grey couch with a big tin of chocolates and glasses of wine. They watched all sorts, their TV cabinet full of DVDs, with one rack on either side of the speakers full too. Currently they were watching Forrest Gump, the ending where Forrest is talking to his wife's grave. Kate burst into tears and Jimmy held her close to him, as he always did if a movie made her cry and he stroked her hair, pressing a kiss to her head.
The sad things sometimes really got to Kate and Jimmy knew how sensitive she was from a mistake he made in high school when he asked her if it was "That time of the month" because she snapped at him, back when he was an immature fifteen year old with no understanding of how women feel or how much his words could hurt someone. She'd kinda looked at him with this expression of such hurt it made him feel guilty just thinking about it, and she'd turned away from him, walking away in complete embarrassment, upset and anger for which Jimmy apologised profusely and hugged her for.
He zoomed back to reality, feeling her pressing against him as she sniffled and wiped her eyes, shaking breaths escaping her lips as she watched the end of the movie.
"Shhh," He soothed, "It's okay. He's still got his kid, hasn't he?"
"Yeah, but she just messed him about her entire life," Kate breathed, "And in the end she died and he still got punished for the wrongs she did him."
She took a deep breath and growled.
"The slut."
Jimmy cracked out laughing and kissed Kate's lips tenderly, turning the movie off as the credits ended and then kissing her temple.
"Go pick another."
They spent the rest of the afternoon watching Grease, laughing at the euphemisms they'd missed when they'd watched this as kids because of how innocent it all seemed. Kate was laughing in no time and for Jimmy it was the best sound he'd ever hear. Then that night, they made some steamy, passionate love, as they did every other night and settled together for a good night's sleep since they had work the next day.
The following morning, Jimmy awoke to the sound of soft giggling, opening his eyes to see Kate looking at him with a gorgeous smile on her face.
"Kate?" He asked, looking in the mirror on their closet door opposite the bed to find she'd put bright coloured hair bands on different strands of his hair, giving him multiple bunches, "Very funny."
Kate laughed and kissed his lips running her fingers up his chest.
"Don't be such a misery!" She chuckled, kissing his lips and nuzzling him, "You're so grouchy when you wake up!"
"That's because I'm not a morning person, baby." Jimmy chuckled, watching as Kate pouted and climbed out of bed naked, "But...if I get to see this every morning, I can become a morning person very easily."
"You're really quite a pervert, aren't you, Jimmy?" She laughed, grabbing some clothes and heading for the shower.
Jimmy listened to her humming, smiling as she hummed their special song that they either made love to or danced to on a night out. Come Here Boy by Imogen Heap, was the song they'd gotten together to, it was one of Kate's favourite songs and it was always near the top of her playlist if they were making love with music so it became their song. He imagined her soaking wet body in that shower, scars and all, wanting to run his hands all over it, so he entered the bathroom and climbed in beside her, dropping his clothes to the floor and winding his arm around his girl.
He listened to her singing and kissed her shoulders, the nape of her neck and her upper back before turning her, Kate chuckling at the way his hair went flat in the shower. He held her close, copper hair a lot darker due to the water which he moved a little to kiss her neck and jaw. Kate pressed herself to the wall, looking deep into her lover's eyes.
She'd known since she realised her feelings for him at the age of fourteen that she really did love him, but now she knew that this beautiful, loving man before her was the one she wanted to spend her eternity with. She only prayed he felt the same way. The couple shared a gentle kiss before Jimmy lifted Kate up to rest against the wall, just brushing against her with his aching hardness before slipping inside her.
"Jimmy..." Kate gasped, "Jimmy...you're not wearing anything..."
"It's okay," Jimmy assured her, "I'll pull out..."
"You'd better." She huffed.
"You're on the pill." Jimmy pointed out, Kate sighing in response.
"Put me down."
Jimmy realised that he'd upset her and he put her down, the young woman climbing out of the shower to get dried.
"Kate..."
She ignored him and got dried, wiping a tear away that fell down her face.
"Kate, what's wrong?"
Kate just looked at him with sad eyes before putting her clothes on and leaving nervously, closing the door behind her as she went to start breakfast. Jimmy banged his fist on the shower wall, suppressing a growl as he stood under the hot water which was slowly turning cold.
"Please..." he whispered, fighting back long overdue tears of worry, "Please open up to me..."
"I think I upset him this morning." Kate said as she, Anna and Jess stood by the coffee machine in the office, the early afternoon sun filtering through the window just behind it.
"What by telling him no?" Anna asked, "It's a person's human right to say no to sex, honey."
"No, I mean...it kinda seemed like I did it 'cause I wasn't getting my own way," Kate replied, "He pointed out that I was on the pill and I dunno...it just sounded...well...I asked him to put me down and I got dressed and left the room."
"Just because you're on the pill, it doesn't mean that you can have sex without a condom," Jess said, "Where was he when you guys did sex ed at school?"
"Probably hiding," Anna chuckled, "That lesson always freaked him out, didn't it?"
Kate laughed.
"Most of the boys skipped that lesson."
That's when Ruby, the young girl on reception appeared on the office floor with a huge bouquet of flowers, spotting the girls and moving towards them.
"Kate...Jimmy just stopped by with these." She said, passing the young woman the large bouquet, all of stunning white lilies with a red rose in the centre.
"Thanks." Kate replied, holding the flowers before reading the card aloud, "I'm sorry..."
She sighed and covered her eyes with one hand, trying not to cry at the beauty of the gesture.
"Oh, bless him..." She breathed, shaking her head and blinking her tears away, "I feel awful now..."
"Don't." Anna said softly, putting a hand on her friend's shoulder, "He understands you, honey...he'll know you didn't mean anything bad this morning."
Kate nodded and smiled, smelling the flowers and sighing.
"I'd better get them into some water, huh?"
Kate arrived home that night to find Jimmy stood in the kitchen area of the apartment, the dining table set out with candles on and soft music drifting through the room. Love songs as it happened.
"Jimmy?" She asked, going to find a vase to put the flowers in, "What's all this?"
"Oh, I wanted to make it up to you for upsetting you this morning..." Jimmy replied, "Glad you got the flowers."
Kate put the flowers in a vase and took her coat, scarf and bag off and hung them on the coat stand they had by the front door, walking up to Jimmy and pulling him away from the stove, into a deep, loving, passionate kiss.
"Jimmy, you didn't have to do all this," She breathed, "But thank you...it's lovely."
She sighed and looked at him sadly, hugging him close and kissing his cheek.
"What've I done to deserve someone as sweet you?"
"I think I should be the one asking that." Jimmy replied, Kate biting her lip and sighing before sitting at the table, she and her boyfriend beginning to chat about their days at work whilst Jimmy cooked Kate's favourite meal, spaghetti bolegnese.
Kate really did wonder what she'd done to deserve someone like Jimmy. He was the most wonderful man she'd ever met, and good God, she loved him more than anything.
