Hey lovely readers! Sorry for this late update. I'm kinda in the middle of very busy schedule right now.


you can't love no one
you can't love something
you can't love nothing

Could it be another change, The samples.


Chapter 7: Kim's POV

I think it's safe to say that I'm falling for Jared even more than before. I mean before I used to be so engrossed just in watching Jared all day. Now that I think of me being in his arms and kissing him just made my heart rate skyrocket. So I could positively say that my first date with Jared was simply awesome.

May be I spoke- or thought- too soon. Someone cleared their throat from the doorway. I broke the kiss to tell off whoever it was, only to see my dad with his arms crossed over his chest.

If Jared's right arm wasn't around my waist, I'd be running for the hills now.

"Kimberly you have five minutes to say goodbye and come in", Dad said with a stern voice. So if I had any doubts before that whether or not I might be in trouble, I no longer have it now. My dad only calls me Kimberly when he wants to stay mad at me. I think his theory is if he calls me Kim or Kimmy or any of my other nicknames that he had called ever since I was a kid, it might ease his anger which he wouldn't want. So calling my full name and politely giving me five minutes to finish off my business with my boyfriend is his pathetic way of being mad at me.

"So where were we?", Jared winked at me, not being bothered with my dad ignoring him and slamming the door on our faces.

"Somewhere we won't be going again today. Not that I don't wanna do this again, but right now I'm kinda in a trouble but nothing I couldn't fix. So.."

"So... Goodnight", he said and placed a chaste kiss on my lips. "I'll stop by tomorrow to know how it went with your dad."

Anna opened the door and whispered yelled at Jared " Hey enough lover boy, she'll play tongue hockey with you tomorrow. She's kinda needed right now" With that she slammed the door on us. I shifted my gaze from the closed door to Jared's charming eyes.

"Good thing Anna and Liz are still here. I might need them to back me up on whatever I'm gonna come up with" I said more of assuring myself than him.

"Night", I said opening the door and decided to wait until his car left the neighborhood just for having to see him leave. Jared turned back to leave mumbling sweet dreams to me and I sighed contently though I know the moment I enter the living room I'm gonna have to face the wrath of my I-can't-see-if my-girl-has-grown-up-enough-to-date-though-she-has -reached-legal-drinking-age-of-many-countries dad. I don't drink but just saying. I was contented with my memory of the first date. Also the great view I have of Jared's ass as he's retreating to his car is sure a part of the fullness I feel in my heart.

I turned to see my family. My furious dad was sitting on the couch with my mom near him, sitting on the arm, having her arm over his shoulder. My mom smiled brightly at me and I return her gesture. At least one of my parents is happy about my date. And my two best friends where seated in the love-seat. They trying to hide their giggles but they were beginning to lose it. Obviously the little devil aka Kevin would have been made to go to bed because no way in hell he would have opted to miss this. I prepared to be yelled at. That was not making me worried but it's the followed up lecture of woes and joys of dating speech by my dad that was making me cringe in horror. Here goes nothing.

"Dad, mom fancy seeing you guys back so soon.", I tried to act nonchalantly.

Before my dad could get on with his lecture, my mom wayed in. "Kim you can go to your room with your friends but we'll discuss about this first thing in the morning"

My dad nodded at that statement, showing he was clearly looking forward to that discussion. Oh, the perks of having an over-protective dad.

I glanced at my friends and started to walk upstairs and they followed. I entered my room and closed the door after them. I turned around to see Anna and Liz looking expectantly at me. I knew they were dying to hear about my date, so I was pretending that all that happened wasn't a big deal, but a small smile seemed to escape my lips, which was returned with two huge grins from my girls.

Before I knew it, I was being hugged- more like wrestled- to death by my two besties. I couldn't balance their combined weight and fell on the ground taking the duo with me, hitting the ground with a loud thump. That's gonna hurt in the morning as I was solely playing cushion to those idiots I sometimes call my best friends. They were laughing like a maniac. I couldn't help but laugh along with them. I mean sharing your joy with those who matters to you can only double your joy manifold right. Okay now I had turned philosophical. The aftermath of my first kiss, I see.

So the usual drill took it's course. They pestered me to tell all that happened that evening. And I dutifully explained everything, partly because they wouldn't let me get some sleep even if I missed one single info and partly because I rejoiced reliving my date by telling them about it. After the 'I'm-so-happy-for-you' hugs and tears, finally we decided to retire to bed.

I took the folding guest beds and spread it out for them on the floor. And I placed two pillows and a blanket on each bed. I climbed on my bed and turned to say good night to my friends only to find them already sound asleep. I couldn't help but admire how they both slept like 2-year-old kids. I wondered what I'd do without them. Who'd be happy for me at times like this? Besides my mom of course. I wouldn't say the same thing about my dad though. If it weren't for them who'd I share my secrets with? Kevin? Not really my choice. He can hardly listen to anything for just straight 5 minutes. I must've good karma to have ended up with these two.

My trance was broken by Anna's snoring. This was the most annoying part of the sleepover. But nothing a good earplugs can't fix. I put them on and drifted off to sleep.


Hey guys! Please let me know what you think about the chapter.

XOXO
