I am so sorry for not updating! I've been extremely busy the last couple of days and haven't had time to write! I'll be pretty busy this week too, so I won't be updating as frequently! Well, here's chapter 5!

I was heading home until I realized it was just after noon. I might as well finish looking around town. I decided to walk down to the restaurant where Megan works. It was on the bay and was only a few minutes away from here. As I got closer to the restaurant, I could see the appearance of it.

It was a small wooden building sitting on a dock. The dock stretched out into the bay somewhat, and the restaurant was at the end of the dock. I started walking down the dock. The building was very small. I assumed that most of building was for the kitchen. All of the tables and chairs were outside on the dock, under a roof. All around the dock was a railing. There was a small stage in the corner, maybe for karaoke and performing. In front of the stage was a wooden dance floor. When I finally reached the restaurant, I called her name and she turned around and waved. I started walking towards her until I was stopped by a tall, blonde haired, brown eyes boy.

"Hey, I'm Jason." He said.

"Kim." I replied. Why is he talking to me?

Jason was a very attractive boy. He had large arm muscles, but not nearly as toned as Jacks. Wait- why am I thinking about Jack?

"You know, a lot the guys around town have been talking about a pretty blonde girl named Kim coming to town. I'm assuming you're her." He said.

"Yeah, I'm from San Francisco." I told him.

"We'll you're very pretty." He said and smiled.

I blushed it a bit at his compliment. "Thanks."

Don't make any assumptions; no I don't have a crush growing on this kid. Sure he's attractive, but no way would I ever go out with him. I like being alone and that's all there is to it.

Megan walked up to us. "Hey Kim! I see you've met Jason!" She said happily.

"Yup." I said.

"Well maybe Jason could show you around town. I'm too busy today, but I'm sure he'd love to, right Jason?" She said.

"Of course! Is that alright with you, Kim?" He asked.

I thought of the plans I made with Jack. He was supposed to be showing me around town. In fact, we never made a time or date for it. I should talk to him about it. First I have to get out of this thing with Jason.

"Maybe another time. I'm exhausted. I think I'll just go home and go to bed." I lied.

"At 12:30?" Jason asked.

Crap. "Well, uh- I'm kinda tired. I thought I'd just take a nap and lounge around the rest of the day." I lied.

Jason didn't look convinced. "Well okay! I'll see you around Kim!" He smiled and winked.

As soon as Jason walked away, Megan punched me in the arm.

"Ow! What was that for?" I yelled at her.

"For turning down Jason! The Jason Nickels! He's the mayor's son!" She exclaimed.

"Well sorry! I just don't like him like that and you know I don't want to date yet!" I yelled at her.

Whatever. Your loss!" She said. "Well I have to get back to work, kid. I'll see you at home." Megan gave me a hug goodbye and continued working.

Maybe I could go see if Jack wants to hang out. I thought to myself.

I literally just met this guy and I'm going to ask him if he wants to hang out? What if he thinks I'm clingy? What is he thinks I'm weird?

I turned around and walked back towards the direction of the store. As I got closer, I could see the white wooden building. I opened the door and heard the familiar bell ringing, signaling my entrance.

I looked around the store and didn't see anyone. I walked up to the counter and rang the bell. A man who looked around the age of 60 walked behind the counter to meet me.

"Um, hi. Is Jack here?" I asked.

The man wore a plaid flannel shirt with denim overalls. His fashion sense was very out of date, but he seemed like a nice old man. His hair was mostly brown but turning gray and he had beard.

"Well, well, you must be Kim. Jack's been tellin' me about a pretty blonde gal he met." The man said. He had a strong southern accent, which was weird since he lived in North Carolina. I guess he moved here. "I'm Jack's grandfather. You can call me Charlie." He reached his hand out and shook my hand.

I gave him a friendly smile and shook his hand.

"Now what's a pretty gal like you doin' lookin' for Jack?" He asked.

"Well I'm new here and he offered to show me around town." I said.

He nodded in understanding. "Well, he's right up them stairs." He said as he nodded his head towards a narrow, metal spiral staircase in the corner of the shop.

"Okay, thank you." I said and headed towards the stairs.

I walked up the stairs and saw a sunny room. There were big windows on every wall. There weren't any curtains or blinds so the room was naturally lit by the sun. The room was fairly large. There was a bed towards the right corner and a desk on the left side of the room, facing a window. The room had a closet so there was no dresser. There was a bed side table between the bed and the wall, and another on the other side of the bed. This room looked like a bedroom. Why would someone live in the upstairs of their shop? I looked over and there Jack was, standing next to his bed. He was facing the window and his back was towards me. He didn't have a shirt on and he was lifting a dumbbell in his right hand. His muscles contracted with every lift of the weight. There was a light layer of moisture on his upper body. I had to admit, Jack was hot. However, that does not mean I would ever date him!

I cleared my throat, signaling my presence. He turned around surprised.

"Oh hey Kim!" He said and smiled as he put the weight down to grab a small towel. "What are you doing here?" He asked and wiped his face with the towel.

"Well, I was just thinking that maybe you could show around town now." I explained.

"Missed me already?" He teased.

"What? No! I just-"

"Kim I'm kidding!" He said and chuckled.

I laughed in response. "So is that a yes?" I asked.

"Sure let me just grab a shirt." He said. He walked to his closet and pulled out a casual shirt. He put it on and led me downstairs.

"Bye Pop!" Jack said as he led me out of the shop.

"Bye Charlie!" I said.

So I know this chapter was short, but I really needed to post something. I haven't written it yet, but I think next chapter will be a good one! Anyways, I hope you guys liked it and stay tuned for chapter 5! PLEASE REVIEW! :)
