I woke up around 3 pm. And I was sweating. I didn't notice it was so hot in here. I tried to get up but something was holding me down. I looked over and saw that Jared was still sleeping with his arm curling around my waist. I tried to move again but he just stirred and wrapped his arm tighter around me. Not that I am complaining.
He looked so peaceful and younger when he was sleeping. He was snoring slightly. I shook him hating that I was going to wake him up but it was so hot in here. I tried again but he didn't even move.
I sighed and cleared my throat preparing my self to scream for Emily. "EMILY!" I screamed
I looked over at Jared and he was still sleeping. I heard Emily walk upstairs. She came in the room and smiled at me.
"What's wrong?" she said.
"He" I motioned to Jared "wont wake up and I am really getting warm. Can you help me? How do I wake him up?"
"I got it." She walked over to him and said "I have blueberry muffins cooking in the oven." She said.
Surprisingly he woke up screaming "WHERE?" I giggled at him and asked him to move. He looked at me and a look of understanding came over his face. "Sorry" he said and helped me get up.
I stretched and shook my head remembering what happened this morning. I sighed as I looked in the mirror and saw my clothes all wrinkled. I tired to smooth them out but I gave up and went to change. I grabbed some red jeans and a black long sleeved shirt with some black flats and some matching bracelets.
I went back downstairs to see what Emily was doing. Obviously she was cooking. Seriously did she ever stop cooking? "hey Emily need any help?"
"Yes thank you dear. Can you please cut these vegetables into little tiny pieces?"
"Um sure but why little pieces? Hey where's Jared?"
"He had to leave. Sam told me that as soon as he woke up that he needed to go to work. Oh and I usually just sneak the vegetables in their food because if they saw them they would take all of it out. I swear they are like little kids they hate vegetables." She said thinking about it.
"Yea huge little kids." I giggled
"Kim?" Emily asked hesitantly.
"yea." I said.
"What do you think of Jared?"
"What do you mean?" I asked totally confused. "I like him. He's nice, funny charming, caring, and he's good looking too." I said dreamily. Of course Emily noticed. She gave me a knowing look.
"Besides that. You two have spent a lot of time together. But how do you feel about him."
I decided it was better to tell the truth because she always found out. "Oh, well, um, I think I might have fallen for him. Ever since he found us he's been very nice to us. All of you been nicer than anyone we have ever known. But I am sure that we won't work out. I mean seriously, I am plain compared to him he deserves someone better and I am just not that person." I said looking down to the floor.
"You've got to be kidding me!" Emily said. She threw her arms up in the air. "Have you looked in a mirror? You are completely gorgeous. And I know for a fact that Jared likes you too. Have you seen the way he looks at you? It's like you two are the only ones in the room." She said. Come to think about it, I have noticed the way he looks at me it. Just the thought sends chills down my spine.
I was about to respond when the front door slams open. "Honey I'm home!" Paul screamed. I walked in and saw Sam hit Paul in the head. Emily just giggled and went to Sam. The guys looked dirty as hell! What were they doing?
Jared saw me and came straight to me. I smiled and hugged him. "Hey."
"Hey" he said. I saw Emily give me a look that said 'see-I-told-you-so!' I just rolled my eyes and turned my attention to Cynthia who was now playing with embry. They were playing some game called mix 'n match.
I wonder why he likes to play little kid's games. Although it was funny seeing him try and lay hide and seek in the house.
I was pulled out of my daydream by Jared. "Kim you want to take a walk?" he asked nervous. I nodded and followed him outside.
"Um, what did you do today?" he asked still nervous
"Well after almost getting squished by you, I went to help Emily clean and cook. What about you?" I asked
"i-I was working with Sam and Paul. Did you know that the food Emily makes taste's like vegetables sometimes?" he said changing subject. I laughed at his disgruntled tone.
"Why don't you like vegetables?"
"Nope. They are green and leafy." I just laughed while we walked in the woods.
"Hey Jared? Is there a reason for this walk or did you just want to see me fall?" I asked after a while. I had tripped 3 times but luckily Jared caught me.
"Yea I" he cleared his throat. "."
"What?" I said I didn't understand him he said everything so fast I didn't catch it.
He sighed and said more slowly "I wanted to see if you would go out with me?"
I think my mouth dropped to the floor. "I mean you don't have to-" he started to say but I cut him off.
"Yes. I would like to go out with you." He grinned so wide that I thought it would hurt. He picked me up and twirled me around. I giggled and hoped that he didn't drop me.
He took my hand and we started walking back to Emily's house. He stopped at the front step. "I will pick you up tomorrow at 7. Bye" he kissed my forehead and walked away. I sighed dreamily and went inside to find Emily grinning happily. We squealed and hugged each other. After dinner I tucked Cynthia in.
"Kimmie are we still leaving? I like it here. I like to play with Emiwy and Em." This I hadn't thought about. My rib was still tied up and it would take at least 2 weeks before it healed.
"I don't know Cynthia. We'll see later okay? Goodnight." I kissed her forehead and walked in to my room. I didn't think about this. I know we couldn't stay here because they might find us. Hmm… oh well I guess we will see later. I thought about Jared and what I was supposed to wear tomorrow.
I dreamed happily throughout the night. I think today was the best day of my life.
Ahh I couldn't wait until tomorrow.
