Thank you all so much! Your love for this story is amazing and I am honestly having the best time writing it. I love reading your reviews. They make my day to see you all so involved in this story. Also I am in a good mood this morning so here is another chapter!
Over the next few weeks Kim didn't see Jack and a part of her was relieved. She could finally stop thinking about him and try and focus on her marriage. Brody was trying really hard to not work as much but she knew it wouldn't last long. She actually became friends with Jerry and he was an amazing guy and father. Grace even started to talk about Jerry more and Kim knew this was perfect, but then again Kim spoke too soon.
One spring day after class Grace came up to Kim with a smile and Kim knew that smile. It was a happy smile with a favor behind it so Kim braced herself for what was going to come. "Hey Kimmy, how was your day?" Grace asked still smiling.
"Gracie, my day was fine. Now what do you want?" Kim asked wanting to get to the point.
"Oh ok, fine. Well Jerry finally asked me out but not a formal date. It is a just to get to know you outside of school outing", Grace started now looking nervous.
"That's great. So what's the problem?" Kim asked confused.
"Well, we are both a little nervous so he suggested that you and his friend tag along", Grace finished now hoping Kim would agree.
"Wait. So we are tagging along like third wheels?" Kim asked again but not in a happy tone.
"No, no. Not like that. We are just going to grab a few drinks and talk. So what do you say?" Grace asked with pleading eyes.
Kim thought for a minute before giving in. "Fine, I will go. When is it and who is his friend?" Kim asked hoping it would be Jack so she would actually have someone to talk to.
"Um, tomorrow night and I am not sure who the friend is. He didn't say", Grace said in a calm voice.
"Ok, well then I will see you tomorrow", Kim said grabbing her bag.
"Thank you, thank you. I love you", Grace said hugging Kim.
"Yeah, no problem and I love you too", Kim replied with a chuckle as she hugged back.
Kim returned home hoping Brody would be there but she had no such luck so she just continued thinking about tomorrow night. Brody called saying he was working late so Kim decided to catch up on work and that was exactly what she needed to take her mind off of things.
The next morning before Brody left for work Kim told him she would be out tonight with Grace and Brody actually seemed happy about it. He told her to have fun and that they would talk later.
The rest of the day went well. Grace was in a fantastic mood; always smiling and even had an extra bounce in her step.
Before Kim left, Grace ran after her reminding her about tonight and handing her directions. Kim nodded and smiled saying, "How could I forget. You have been talking about all day".
"Haha, very funny. See you tonight", Grace replied walking to her car.
After Kim got home she showered and then spent the rest of the time deciding on what to wear. She had multiple outfits laid out as she eyed them all carefully. As she scanned over the piles of clothes she first of all couldn't believe Grace had talked her into this and secondly she prayed that Jack was Jerry's friend joining them.
After knocking out half her clothing options Kim decided to call Grace to see what she was wearing, after a few rings Grace answered in a very happy voice and said confidently, "Hey Kimmy, I just have some dark wash jeans and a kind of fancy top and I think I am going to wear my black pumps with the little heel".
"Ok, thanks Grace", Kim said hanging up and looking at her options.
After a few minutes she decided to wear what Grace was wearing; not too fancy but fancy enough for an outing. Kim got dressed with under 45 minutes to spare so she decided she should start to head out. After one more quick glance in the mirror, she was out the door.
She arrived at the restaurant/bar right at 7 and it was fairly busy. She walked in and was greeted by the hostess who had a look like she knew who Kim was meeting. They both smiled as the hostess asked, "brunette with 2 guys". Kim nodded as the hostess led her half way, pointing to the far back corner table where she saw half of Grace. Kim smiled, thanks the hostess and then picked up her speed not noticing Jerry and his friend that were sitting in the opposite side and out of view. "Hey Grace", Kim said as Grace smiled when she saw her friend.
"Kimmy you are here", Grace semi shouted, jumping out of the booth to hug her.
"Grace, we just saw each other a few hours ago", Kim said in stern but joking voice.
"Yeah I know but now there is another girl here", Grace said clapping her hands.
Kim looked confused as she finally looked to the other side of the table and saw Jerry and Jack and instantly she felt embarrassed but happy as her checks turned pink. "Hey Jerry, Jack", Kim said giving a slight wave.
Jerry and Jack both got up and gave Kim as hug which took her by surprise but also made her feel welcomed. She hugged back and as she released from Jack, the tingling feeling came back which made her blush some more.
Before they sat down again Jerry whispered to Kim, "Could I sit next to Grace?"
Kim smirked and nodded a 'yes' as Jerry's face lit up and Kim was secretly happy to sit next to Jack.
The night was just getting started but already all four knew it was going to be a great night.
