* I DO NOT OWN KICKIN IT*
The fresh ocean breeze snaked its way through the open window and the sunlight filled the air shinning off the wood floors of my bedroom. I sat up in bed stretching my arms up as far as they could go and let them fall back to the bed instantly. All the memories of last night flashed back through my head. Me telling Jack I like him. Jack liking me. The almost kiss. The goodnight. I was pulled out of my thoughts by the door dinging and a lock behind it. I walked into the kitchen to find my mom standing there with 2 Starbucks drinks and 2 blueberry muffins.
"Whats going on?" I asked taking one of the coffees from her extended hand while sitting down next to her.
"Well I was thinking we could have a mother daughter day. If you're up for it." she said sipping her coffee
"I'm always up for a mother daughter day" I smiled taking a corner piece from the muffin throwing it in my mouth.
"Ok well hurry and get dressed and we will drop Sophie off at the doggy day camp so she can play with the other dogs instead of being here by herself." she said taking her last bite of the muffin and going into her room. I quickly finished my muffin and ran to my room to get ready. I straightened my hair, brushed my teeth and other bathroom essentials then went to my closet. I picked out a peach colored fantsy shirt and blue skinny jeans with my tan ankle boots. I grabbed my purse and phone and went to the mud room to grab Sophie's leash and treats. When we dropped her off the first place we went was the huge shopping outlet mall a half hour away. We went to a lot of different shops and my mom bought me a lot of new clothes which I wasnt really sure ifs out because I didn't want her to send a lot but she insisted. My favorite were the dresses that I got and couldn't wait to wear. We walked by a store with a really cute dress that my mom loved. We went in to look and she ended up trying it on.
"So what do you think?" she asked walking out of the dressing room revealing a tight red dress showing off her curves pefectly and a V neck line with a beautiful pattern.
"Mom you look hot" I said getting up and walking around her to look at the dress more clearly. "is there someone special you would like to tell me about?" I raised an eyebrow while nudging her slightly.
"I'm not sure yet but I really like this dress" she ran her hands down the sides of the dress and looked herself in the mirror.
"Sold" I smiled sitting back down in my seat as she went back to the dressing room to change. As we continued walking down the sidewalks occasionally looking in the windows at the clothes I came across a dress that was more than perfect. I stood there for a second looking at it when my mom came up and looked at it too.
"You know that dress would look perfect on you. You know for like a date or something" she smirked elbowing me as she help the door open for me to walk in. I took my size off the rack and walked toward the dressing room handing my mom my purse and phone. As I zipped the back of the dress up and turned to look in the mirror I had no words. All I could hear was my mom calling for me to show her the dress once I walked out my moms face was at a loss of words as well. Finally she spoke
"Kim, you look beautiful." was all she could say. I turned and looked again in the bigger mirror outside the fitting rooms starring at the dress. The dress was a mint green on the bottom and the top was a black strapless lace sweetheart neck line.
"Mom I wouldn't even be able to use this dress for anything." I said turning around to look at her
"You could use it for a date. We are getting it" she said and turned me back around toward my dressing room and pushed me lightly through the door. After walking around for a while before we knew it, it was already 3 and decided to have lunch at a little cafe.
"So Jeff tells me Jack can't stop talking about you." she said examining the menu.
"Yeah?" I smiled looking at the menu.
"Is that a good thing?" she asked noticing my smile
"Last night Jack told me he likes me"
"He did! What did you say? Did you tell him you like him? Oh I can't wait to talk to Jeff about this."
"I told him I like him too" I told her after we ordered our food.
"So what does this mean for you guys now? Are you dating?" she excitedly asked
"I don't know. He was suppose to talk to me today but I haven't heard from him yet." and right when I said that my phone rang. I looked at the caller ID and set my phone back down.
"Who is it?" my mom asked taking a bite of her food that had just gotten there.
"Grace. I will call her back" I muttered taking a bite of my salad
"That's ok answer it" she said enjoying her food as I answered the phone.
"Hey grace what's up?"
."Hey Kim movie night and sleepover at my house with the girls. And the guys are gonna come over for a little bit and watch movies with us." she said as I could hear the other girls in the background obviously already there. Before I could say anything I saw my mom mouthed 'Go. I have stuff to do tonight anyway'
"Ok. I'll be there at 7" I said taking a bite of my food.
"Cool see you then" and with that she hung up. By the time we were done at the shops and picked up Sophie and back at the house it was 5:30. Today was nice just me and my mom. I decided to wash my new clothes and get my bag packed to go over to graces. I packed an outfit for tomorrow, my bathroom essentials, phone carger, and I decided I'm going to bring my Polaroid camera as well. I guess my mom was going to stay home tonight since she didn't wor. She was going to catch up on her shows she's missed
* TIME SKIP TO GRACES*
Right now it was just us girls sitting in the living room waiting for the boys to get here with the pizza.
"So Kim what happened with Jack? Did he call you today?" grace asked as the others girls leaned in waiting for me to answer.
"No I haven't heard from him all day" as I said that the door opened revealing Jerry, Milton, and Eddie. No Jack. I'm starting to wonder if he's avoiding me.
"Hey guys" I said as they all walked towards their girlfriends
"Hey" I heard everyone say as we walked in the kitchen to eat.
"Jacks gonna be here later he is having dinner with his aunt and uncle but will be here soon so don't worry Kim" Jerry said winking at me. A small smile formed on my face as I looked into my lap and played with my hands. After we were done eating we decided to have a small campfire in her backyard. While everyone else started to get the fire going I went inside to get the stuff to make s'mores. I heard the back door open thinking it was one of the girls to come help. I heard shuffling behind me and just as I was about to turn around I felt a strong pair of arms wrap around my shoulder and my back against someone's chest. I knew who it was immediate by their smell. Jack. I instantly smiled and turned around wrapping my arms around his waist hugging him back.
"Hi" he said squeezing me tightly while kissing the top of my head
"Hi" I muttered into his chest before stepping back and looking at him. He was even cuter today.
"Want me to help you carry that stuff outside?" he asked grabbing some of the snacks sitting on the counter.
"Sure. That'd be great" I replied happily grabbing the rest of it and us heading outside to the fire. For a while we all just sat outside and talked. It was still a little light outside so I went and got my Polaroid out of my bag and started taking some pictures. Graces mom came out and took a couple pictures of all of us sitting by the fire. Everyone was sitting next to their boyfriends and I was sitting next to Jack. Right before taking the picture of all of us graces mom told us to squeeze together so we could all be in it. The girls were sitting on their boyfriends lap so Jack pulled me over and let me sit on his lap. One of the pictures her mom took was all of us sitting on the boys laps and the boys kissing the girls cheeks. And since she took 4 so each of the girls could keep one Jack kissed me on the cheek 4 times. But hey who's complaining. Not me that's for sure. Eventually we all decided to go in since it was getting old out and we wanted to start watching movies. The girls decided to go change into our pajamas before we watched the movie. Julie wore a pair of blue pants with a blue tank top, Kelsey wore pink shorts with a white tank top, grace wore red spanks with a white crop top and I wore black Nike short shorts and a grey shirt that came just above the bottom of my shorts. The boys got the media room ready putting the stack of movies on the table and made popcorn. Everyone had their own spots to lay in the room. Eddie and Kelsey sat on the love seat together, Milton and Julie laid on the huge beanbag on the floor, Grace and Jerry laid on the couch closest to the door and Jack and I sat on the other couch at the opposite end of the room. The first movie we watched was Neighbors which all the girls agreed that Zac Efron was extremely hot in that movie.
When we reached about 9:00 everyone was tired of watching movies and we started to run around the house and be crazy. Occasionally I would take pictures of my friends being cute with their boyfriends or we would just take pictures of us girls. One of the pictures grace got of me and jack was him running around the living room with me on his back while we raced Eddie and Kelsey. Another pictured she got was me still on jacks back but me kissing his cheek. At this point it was already 11:45 and we were starting to get tired, so we put in a scary movie to wake us up. Halfway through the movie everyone was laying down cuddling their boyfriends or hiding under their blankets. After the Insidious marathon we had, we decided to put on another funny movie. I was getting tired at this point and jack wasn't helping. Somehow I had managed to lay down on the couch with jack lightly drawing circles on my back with his fingers. And I had managed to fall asleep quickly. With what felt like hours I was tossing and turning on the couch. Before I knew it I was flying upward fulling awake and breathing quickly realizing I had a bad dream. I looked around at everyone asleep peacefully and before I could even think of anything else Jack spoke up
"Hey you ok?" he whispered sitting up next to me placing his hand on the small of my back for comfort. Sometime after I fell asleep he must have layed down next to me.
"Yeah I'm fine just a bad dream I guess." I placed my head in my hands taking a big breath and then letting them fall into my lap.
"It's ok Kim. It as just a dream. Here, come here." he whispered hugging me and throwing the blanket over both of us as we layed back down. I burried my head in the crock of his neck. I knew it couldn't stay like this forever but right now I didn't care.
"This time I get to say goodnight in person. Goodnight Kim" he whispered as I looked up at him. I smiled lightly still half tired but taking this moment to make it my own. I moved my free hand up to his cheek and leaned forward kissing the side of his cheek. When I pulled back looking at him I wanted so badly to kiss him again. But not on the cheek. But now wasn't the time knowing we were both so tired.
"Goodnight" I whispered laying my head on the pillow as we both drifted off to sleep.
