Jimmy had been shot. He had came true on his word; that he would die to protect her as he had shielded he with his body when the gun went off. She held him tightly as they fell to the ground
"Jimmy! Jimmy please don't leave me. I need you!" She yelled as his blood began to soak through her cloths.
"I love you Kenzie. Please remember that. I'll see ya in heaven angel." He softly said as he gently touched her cheek with a bloody finger, leaving a red streak run down her face as it slipped downward. His eyes slowing closed as his breathing stopped.
"Jimmy?" She shook his limp form not wanting to accept he was gone. "Jimmy!" She cried as she shook once more before pulling his still face to her chest and sobbed.
Alistair stood before her, gun aimed at her head.
"Just pull the freaking trigger you fucker." She said and heard another shot go off.
Jimmy held her tight as she woke up sobbing.
Ash had shot Alistair from behind, killing him with a head shot. It was finally over. After statements were given, the body was taken and the injured Rufus and Gordon were patched up, the two were finally able to turn in for the night.
"It's ok. It was just a dream. It's ok." He whispered as he kissed her forehead.
"It felt so real. You died in my arms and I told Alistair to pull the trigger so I could be with you." She cried harder into his chest.
"Hey" He took her tear streaked face into his hands and wiped at her eyes. "I'm here. He's gone and in a day or so we can go back to our lives, only this time we're together." He slowly brought her face to his and hesitated to kiss her.
"What?"
"I expect someone to knock at that door and interrupt us again." He joked
"I heard Ash threaten that if anyone came up here unless it was urgent, they would have to deal with 'Dr. Badass." She joked back as she grabbed his face and pulled him to her lips, finally knowing what he tasted like.
TWO WEEKS LATER:
"Hey Kenz, what do you think of this?" Jo asked as she held a pair of lace hunter green panties and matching lace bra.
"Jo, what you wear or don't wear with Gabe is none of my business." She said as she went back to the clearance rack at Aerie.
"I meant for you to wear on your date with Jimmy tonight." She teases as she held the under wear up against her friend's body.
"Are you saying my bra and underwear is dull and I need to buy stuff that even though it is comfy and my style, doesn't cover much?"
"Exactly! Kenzie, I just mean you and Jimmy have been together for a while."
"We've been dating for two weeks!"
"You've known him what, your whole life."
"Is this your subtle way of saying I need to get laid?" She asked as she took the outfit and went to ask for a dressing room.
"Yep." Jo grinned as she followed her to give her opinion.
"Come on Kenze! I wanna see how you look!"
"Jo, the last time I was this naked I was coming out of a Uterus! So excuse me for being a little nervous!" Mackenzie hiss through the closed door.
"Geeze, if you're this nervous with me, how you gonna act when you're with Jimmy!"
"Oh man, thanks a lot Jo! Now I gotta worry about that!"
"Calm down Miss Congeniality. Let me see how you look, then I'll treat ya to some pampering." She stood up from the chair she was sitting on in the waiting room as the door opened and Kenzie stepped out in the bra and underwear over the ones she had already been wearing. The green blended well with the natural tan on her skin. The bra cups stopped at just the top of her breast showing off a little bit of cleavage.
"Jo? You wanna close your mouth and give your opinion here, please?" Kenzie asked as she ran a hand through her hair.
"You are so buying it! Now we need to get you to the salon so they can do something with your hair and nails." Jo squealed as she ran out to wait for Kenzie to change.
"What's wrong with my hair and nails?" Kenzie asked her reflection as she removed the garments and changed back into her normal cloths.
Jo helped zip up her friend's dress as they waited for Jimmy to show. Her hair had been cut so it barely went past the ear and had several layers in it. Her toe nails stuck out through the open toed shoes she was wearing to reveal they were a light color called 'Blushing Bride' as were her nails.
Kenzie applied some light lip gloss when a knock came at the door and she heard Jo let her boyfriend in. It felt weird saying that. 'Boyfriend' Jimmy Novak was her boyfriend.' Grabbing her black clutch that matched her sleeveless black dress she went out to see him.
Jimmy breath once again caught in his throat when she walked out of her bedroom. She was wearing a simple black sleeveless dress with a v-neck neckline. The length went just a little past her knees, showing off her strong legs and her feet which were covered in simple black open toed shoes.
Jo smiled as she watch the two lovers go to one another and gently kiss on the lips as a soft smiles appeared when they separated.
"You ready to go?" He spoke in a soft whisper, holding her hand and touching their foreheads together so they looked in each other's eyes.
"Yeah." She gave his hand a lite squeeze, then turned around to Jo to say "I'll see ya tomorrow Jo."
"Actually, I crashing with Gabe tonight, so I guess you'll have to stay here Jimmy." Jo teased as she left the room, holding but the giggles that wanted out after seeing the look on her friend's faces.
"Jo's trying to get to sleep together, isn't she?" Jimmy asked as the drove in his blue Honda.
"Seems like it. She thinks we're at that stage in out relationship. But I explained to her many times that we both decided to wait till we were ready. So where are we going tonight?"
"Joshua's" He smiled as he saw a smile of her own lite up her brown eyes.
"That's wear we ate when we went to prom. You could have told me1 I feel overdressed.
"You look beautiful, I'm overdressed." He was wear black slacks with a white button down shirt, blue tie he knew she loved, and a black jacket.
"I think you look hot. Man, it is weird finally getting to say what I think you look like instead of waiting to gossip about it with Jo."
"And what exactly do I look 'hot' in? He raised an eyebrow as he tried to be seductive.
"Just about everything you wear and don't wear." She retaliated back as she leaned over and kissed the corner of his mouth.
He wanted to pull the car over and kiss her back, but they had reservations for tonight and he wanted to stay on track so they could get back to her place for what he figured was one of the most important nights of their lives.
As promised here is the chapter. I wanted to get it out before I leave for a week for vacation, but I am taking a notebook so I can work on the next chapter while gone.
