This one might be a little hard to understand at first but basically, Jack is famous and Kim is a huge fan. She's at one of his bands meet and greets.
KIM'S P.O.V
"I still find it hard to believe that your into rock music." My best friend Grace mocked as we stood in line, waiting.
"Yeah, well you agreed to go to the concert and the meet and greet with me so you might have a hidden secret also." I countered back.
"Whatever." Grace shrugged, as if saying she's unaffected by my comment. "Why did you want to go to the meet and greet anyway? Are you really that obsessed with this rock band?"
"Not the whole band, just one guy in particular." I said. "We have so much in common."
"Yeah, that's what all the deranged lunatics say." Grace laughs.
"Grace if you don't want to be here you can call my parents and find out where they're parked." I told her, finally getting fed up with all the annoying comments. There is nothing wrong with liking rock music, or Jack Brewer. I'm sure if Grace saw him she'd be swooning over him too.
"Kim I didn't mean to hurt your feelings, I'm just not into this stuff like you are." Grace said.
"It's fine Grace, like I said, if you don't want to be here, call my parents and find out where they parked." I told her.
"Okay, I'm sorry about all the things I said, here's my ticket." Grace handed me the ticket that I paid for and walked away. I surveyed the area, trying to find someone who wasn't in line that might want to jump in. I found a little girl, she looked like she was maybe 10 years old. Someone, I think her father, was standing right next to her.
"Hey, little girl!" I called, she turned her head and pointed to herself, as if asking, who me?
"Yeah, come here." She wasn't too far away from me but if you think I'm getting out of line, your crazy.
"Ummm, yes?" She asked slowly as she approached me.
"I have an extra ticket and I was wondering if you wanted it?" I asked.
"Oh my gosh!, really?" She asked. I nodded my head. "What's the catch?"
"No catch, I just have an extra ticket cause my friend bailed on me last-minute." Her smile widened as she took the ticket from my hand.
"Thank you soo much." The little girl said as she ran back to her father. I continued to wait in line until it was finally my turn. I casually went down the line, having each one sign my CD case. In all honesty I was only here for one member of the band. When I reached him, I gave him a large toothy smile.
"Who should I make it out to?" He asked, glancing at me like he knew me.
"Kim." I replied.
"Such a pretty name for a pretty girl." He said. I squeaked out a small thank you. He wrote a few lines on the picture that I reserved just for him, then handed it back to me. I started to walk away but he stopped me. "I uh, I saw you give the little girl your extra ticket, that was really nice of you." Jack commented.
"I-it was nothing, really, my friend bailed out at the last-minute so I had her ticket that I paid for, might as well put it to use right?" I whispered.
"That was still a nice gesture." Jack said. I didn't say anything beyond that. I began to walk away again but much like last time, Jack stopped me. "Hey, Kim, was it. I know that I'm leaving in a few days but would you maybe want to hang out some time?" Jack asked.
"Are you kidding, you want to hang out with me?" I asked, astonished.
"Yeah, you seem nice and chill, most girls scream when I say their name." Jack said.
"Oh, believe me, if I wasn't in shock, I would be screaming right now." Jack chuckled.
"So is that a yes or a no?" He asked with a slight laugh.
"Sure." I replied.
"Great." He smiled, grabbing my hand and pulling me over so that I was standing next to him. "Could you wait here while I finish up with these last few people?" I nodded asked smiled. There were only maybe 10 people left at the most, one of them being the little girl that I gave my extra ticket to. The line went by fairly quickly but that could've been the fact that I spent the whole time freaking out.
"Alright guys, that's it." On of the security guards called, as if they couldn't see the empty line. Jack turned to face me, pulling his phone out of his pocket. I did the same.
"Here, type in your number." He handed me his phone and I handed him mine. "So, where do you live?" He asked as I finished typing in my phone number and my name.
"Um, Seaford." I replied. He snapped a picture of himself on my phone, that he then set as the contact photo.
"Oh, cool, my hotel is right outside Seaford." Jack smiled. I handed him his phone back and he took a picture of me before I could even smile.
"I uh, I should probably get going, my parents are waiting for me."
"I'll walk with you." Jack offered.
"Oh, you don't have to do that. I'm sure you have stuff that your band needs help with." I shrugged.
"They're fine." He said, grabbing my hand and intertwining our fingers.
"Okay." I whispered, leading the way to my parents car. When we got the car Jack let go of my hand and held his arms out. I walked into his outstretched arms and gave him a hug.
"I'll call or text you later tonight." Jack said.
"Okay." I whispered. He let go of me and I hopped in my parents car.
"What was that?" My mom asked.
"Why was he hugging you?" My dad asked.
"Who was he?" Grace asked. Everyone was talking over each other.
"Guy!" I called, making everyone stop. "That was Jack Brewer, lead guitarist of the band. He asked me if I wanted to hang out sometime and I said sure so he gave me his number." I said.
"Are you planning on dating him or something?" Grace asked.
"Come on Grace, he's a celebrity, why would he ask me out. If he were to ask me out I would say yes though." I replied.
"Doesn't he live in like Oregon or something?" My dad asked.
"No, he lives in California just on like the opposite side of us." I said. They continued to ask me question some of which I decided not to answer. My parents dropped Grace off at her house and as soon as I got home I ran up to my room and stared at my phone, awaiting Jack's text or call. By 1am I still hadn't heard from him so I decided to just go to bed but right before I could shut my eyes, my phone started ringing. I looked at the caller ID, it said Jack.
"Hey Kim, your still up!" He had such a happy tone. "Sorry, I'm calling you so late, well I guess early now, I just got back to my hotel." He said.
"It's uh, it's fine." I stuttered. He actually called me.
"Kim, I'm just a normal guy, you don't have to be nervous. I think I'm more awestruck by you than you are by me." He chuckled. "So anyways, are you busy tomorrow?" Jack asked.
"Umm, well, I have karate practice from 10am to 12 but after that I'm free." I replied.
"Wow, you do karate?" Jack asked.
"Yeah." I replied.
"What belt?"
"First degree black." I replied.
"Nice, I'm a third degree black." I wanted to say I know but I have tried to refrain from sounding creepy.
"Nice." I mocked.
"So back to our previous conversation, I was thinking maybe we could grab lunch once your done with karate? You know, like on a date?" Jack offered.
"Sounds great. Where do you want to meet?" I asked. I was dieing on the inside.
"I'll pick you up from your dojo." Jack said. "What's the name, and where's it at?"
"It's Bobby Wasabi Martial Arts Academy, in Seaford mall." I told him.
"Great, see you at 12:30 tomorrow." Jack said.
"Okay."
"Bye Kim."
"Bye Jack." I hung up the phone and went to sleep. I woke up at 9:40 and rushed to get ready.
"Bye mom." I said as I grabbed an Apple and made my way to the door. "I'll be back around probably 3."
"What, karate ends at 12." My mom said confused.
"I'm going out with Jack today." I replied.
"Oh, okay, have fun." I ran out the door and to the dojo.
"Kim your late." Rudy whined as I walked through the door.
"I'm sorry Rudy, I went to a concert last night and didn't get home until like 12.
"Get to work." Karate felt like it lasted forever but I was really happy when Rudy finally let us leave.
"Hey Kim, you want to head over to Phil's with us?" Jerry asked.
"Sorry guys, I have plans." I said, just as Jack turned the corner.
"Plans? With who?" Milton asked. I pointed behind them and they both turned around.
"Is that Jack Brewer? Lead guitarist of Black and Red?" Jerry asked.
"Your going out with Jack Brewer?" Milton asked.
"Maybe..." I replied.
"That's girl talk for yes." Jerry whispered as him and Milton turned to face me.
"Hey Kim." Jack stood by me and wrapped his arm around my shoulder.
"Hey Jack, these are my friends, Jerry and Milton." I introduced.
"Hey, I'm J-" He began, holding out his hand.
"Jack Brewer!" Jerry chimed in, grabbing his hand. "I love your band." They talked for a while and Jack ended up signing Jerry's hoodie and Milton's sweater vest.
"You ready Kim?" Jack asked. I nodded and he grabbed my hand, leading me out of the mall. As soon as we got outside of the mall cameras started flashing. Jack tried to hide me behind him the best he could while still holding my hand until we made it to his limo.
"Is it always like that?" I asked as the limo started moving.
"Yeah, you should see what they're saying about the pictures they got last night." Jack chuckled.
"What are they saying?" Jack pulled out his phone and read some of the articles.
"Jack Brewer, spotted kissing mysterious blonde beauty." He read aloud. "Jack Brewer spotted with new girlfriend, following Black and Red meet and greet." "Jack Brewer seen leaving Black and Red meet and greet with mysterious fan girl. Could this possibly be his new girlfriend." I laugh as he reads them off.
"We didn't kiss." I laugh. "People seriously care about that stuff."
"Yes they do blonde beauty." Jack joked.
"Why do they assume we're dating? Can't we just be friends?" I laugh.
"Apparently not. The press sees me escorting a beautiful girl to her parents car and they instantly think we're a couple." I smile at him.
"You think I'm beautiful." He nods.
"Your more than beautiful but I would be disrespectful if I old you what I'm really thinking." I laugh again. Jack grabs my hand and pulls me closer to him. I tense up for a second but it fades quickly.
"Your getting a little too friendly mister." I joke to ease the tension. He let's go of my hand. "I was just kidding." I give him a nervous laugh.
"Kim, don't be nervous. If anything I should be the nervous one." Jack said.
"But your Jack Brewer. Lead Guitarist for the hottest band out there."
"I'm just an average guy Kim and I've never been on an actual date with a girl that I chose. Every girl I've dated was a publicity stunt. You're the first girl I've got to choose." I smile.
"So this is your first real date?" I ask.
"Yup." He smiles at me and I smile back. Our date is wonderful and he asks me to be his girlfriend on our ride back to the mall. I tell him yes and we head to the dojo to hang out for a while.
"I'm excited to see how well you fight." Jack sais as we enter the dojo.
"Let's spar." Jack's a black belt so I don't expect to win but I would still like to give it a shot.
"Sure." He both take our places on the mat.
"Hey Kim, who's this?" Rudy asks, walking into the dojo. Jack turns around and Rudy nearly faints.
"What's Jack Brewer doing in my dojo!" Rudy cries.
"Sorry we were just gonna spar but I can leave." Jack says.
"No, he's just a huge fan." I drag Jack back to mat and get back into my fighting stance. Like I predicted Jack beats me effortlessly but I can't say I really tried to win. Rudy has Jack sign his shirt and his shoes before he lets us leave the dojo. We go over to Phil's and he sits across from me in the large booth.
"So I know it's only been two days but I leave in two days. I totally get it if you want to just end this but-" I cut him off.
"I don't want to break up, we've only been dating for a few hours." I tell him.
"I just don't want you to feel obligated to do anything. I would love continue this relationship, maybe bring you on the road with me a couple of times or talk on the phone everyday." Jack sais.
"I agree. I want to see if we can make this work." I smile at him.
"Good."
We hang out almost all day for the next two days and when the band finishes loading up the tour bus we say good-bye.
"I'll call you once they leave me alone." Jack said, pulling me into a hug.
"Okay." It's only been dour days since I met him but he has me tearing up. "I'm gonna miss you." I whisper.
"I'm gonna miss you too but I'll be back soon. Remember, once my tour is over I'll be back home and I only live an hour and a half away." Jack smiled. I stared up at his eyes hoping that somehow that will make him stay. He slowly leans down and I move up until we meet in the middle. "I'll be back. Soon." He whispers against my lips then pulls away, giving me one last hug before he joins the rest of the band on the tour bus.
