Kim POV
I smiled to myself as I unlocked the front door. My parents and brother were currently at Jack's house as they were planning on going out to dinner together while Dylan and Alex stayed home alone. My mother texted me earlier telling me that they were having a few appetizers at Jack's place before heading out. This meant Jack was going to get bombarded with questions of all sorts while I got ready in peace. Oh the joy of being home alone!
I jogged up to my room and quickly pulled out my portable stereo and started blasting my current favorite tunes before hopping in the shower. After my shower, while dancing around my room, (I was supposed to be looking for my hair brush) I noticed that I actually wasn't stressed for this date at all. With all my other boyfriends I'd stress out over the perfect outfit and makeup and hair but with Jack I knew he'd accept me the way I was. Or at least I thought he would, and that was good enough of an excuse for me.
I settled on a black high wasted circle skirt and a white crop top paired with my burgundy Vans*. I left my hair naturally wavy and put on little to no makeup. This was the easiest I'd ever gotten ready for a date! I grabbed my small gray cross-body bag and filled it with the essentials (my phone, wallet) then checked my watch. I had twenty minutes to spare.
I headed to the living room and switched on the tv which I hadn't touched since we'd gotten here. It immediately switched onto the Simpsons* and I spent the next twenty minutes laughing at jokes that weren't even that funny. I was just really excited.
Finally the door rang and I ran to answer it. A smiling Jack decked out in jean shorts, a white t-shirt and black Janoskis* stood in front of me. "You look gorgeous." He said with his eyebrows rise. I grinned and stepped out. After the locking the door behind me I grabbed Jack's hand, gave him a peck on the cheek and starting walking down the driveway and towards a night filled with fun.
Jack POV
Kim looked absolutely stunning. I know that sounds cliché and stupid but it was completely true. All my other girlfriends (Donna being a prime example) dressed extremely slutty and had so much makeup that when they tried to hug me all their makeup would rub onto my shirt, and let me tell you, foundation is not easy to get off clothing!
I put my arm around her waist and pulled her closer to me and she looked up and smiled. "Kim the summer has only started and I already know it's going to be the best one yet." Kim sighed "You're right but I just don't know how I'm going to leave in the end…I already feel so attached to this place…It's going to be hard." I nodded in agreement "Let's not think about that now though, we still have a good two months ahead of us." "That's true." Kim said and paused before adding, "Where are you taking me by the way?" I grinned down at her. "That's for me to know, and for you to find out."
For the next 20 minutes, we talked about everything and anything. It was all so natural with Kim, I didn't feel like I had to fake anything or worry about boring her either because she liked listening and actually talked a lot too (unlike most of my girlfriends, who either did all the talking or didn't listen at all).
Kim POV
Suddenly Jack stopped and pulled something out of his pocket. A blindfold. "Kimmy you've got to trust me with this okay?" "Alright, but call me Kimmy again and I wont hesitate to strangle you with that blindfold." Jack chuckled and gently put the blindfold on then tied it. "Can you see anything?" He asked. I gave a frustrated sigh; I couldn't see anything even if I tried! Not even a tiny peek. "I'll take that as a no then." Jack said, a smile evident in his voice.
He hooked his arm in mine and started walking me towards (what sounded like) the water. He stopped at one point and picked me up bridal style that made me squeal and him laugh. We were definitely in the water, I could hear and feel Jack walking through it. Where on earth was he taking me? "Jack if this is some sick prank and you're going to drop me in the water I'll –" I was cut off by Jack gently placing me in a seat (I was starting to think it was a boat) and shuffling around before getting seated himself. "Can I take the blindfold off now?!" I asked impatiently. "Not yet." Jack replied. I crossed my arms and pouted in frustration.
About 5 minutes later (which felt like 30 minutes) Jack gave me the cue to take of the blindfold, and the moment I did, my mouth hung open in awe. Jack and I were seating in a small boat (one which was bigger than the dingy we'd taken to the closed off beach, but smaller than an average paddle boat) in middle of the ocean, where there was nothing but the moon and the stars as a source of light. The moon reflected light onto the dark ocean making it shimmer and the town lights which were far behind us looked magical. I couldn't formulate words to express the beauty of the location or my gratitude to Jack for planning such a beautiful date.
"So umm, do you like it?" Asked a nervous sounding Jack, pulling me out of my thoughts. "Are you kidding?! I love it! Jack this is beautiful!" I exclaimed. He laughed at my excitement. "A beautiful girl like you deserves a beautiful date right?" He said with a half smile. I grinned. "You really didn't have to do all this you know, I would've been happy with just going to the diner." I said whilst looking around me. "Yeah I know, but I wanted to do this Kim. You're such a special girl."
I blushed like the idiot I am and Jack smirked in success. "Looks like the tomato's back." He said, smiling while slowing moving to the middle of the boat. I rolled my eyes but blushed a deeper red. He sat on the floor of the middle of the boat, with his back pressed against the side of it and his legs sprawled in front of him. I slid out of my seat and joined him on the floor.
"I feel so tiny when I look up." Jack said while tipping his head back to gaze at the stars. "You can't see the stars back in Seaford." I said while gazing up along with him. The sky was a beautiful deep black and stars of all sizes twinkle in the beyond. The moon itself already did a grand job of illuminating the sky, but the stars too shined almost as bright, making the sky an entire collision of lights.
I felt someone's eyes upon me and when I turned I found Jack staring and smiling. "I would ask you what you're looking at but you'd probably give some cheesy cliché response that would make me blush so I won't bother." I said while staring back. Jack chuckled, "As if you don't dig my charm!" he exclaimed while popping an imaginary collar. I rolled my eyes but scooted closer to him and cuddled into his chest.
We laid like that for what seemed like ages but the soothing silence was broken by Jack's growling stomach. "Someone sounds hungry." I said while poking his stomach. He blushed a light pink before saying "I'm a growing boy, I'm always hungry." He then proceeded to pull out a large picnic basket, which, until that moment, I hadn't even noticed.
"Oh my god it's like Mary Poppins' bag!" I cried in awe as Jack continued to pull out food from the basket. He had everything from hot dogs to fresh watermelon, in portions big enough to feed a whole family! Jack laughed, "Well I didn't know what you'd like so-" "So you bought the entire grocery store?" I finished for him. He grinned before taking a bite out of a chocolate covered strawberry, "Dig in!"
Jack POV
After we ate (more like I ate, Kim was full after just 30 minutes!) we spent the rest of our night lying in the boat, talking, laughing, and even crying. I got to know Kim a lot better and hopefully same went for her. We were so caught up in our conversation we didn't even notice the time until Kim's phone vibrated signaling that she'd gotten a text.
She reached into her bag and pulled out her iPhone*, and unlocked the screen to find that Alex had texted her; "Jus letting u kno its near 1:30am and parents r probs gonna be here soon, don't be 2 late we dont want yall in trouble." Mine and Kim's eyes both opened wide at the time. "JACK OUR PARENTS ARE GOING TO KILL US!" Kim yelled. As much as they trusted us, it was still completely natural for parents to get completely pissed when their teen son/daughter it out alone with a member of the opposite gender way past midnight.
"Don't worry Kim we'll get there before them, just chill a bit..." I said. Kim rolled her eyes. "Ever think about taking your own advice?" She said while pointing to my leg, which I was subconsciously bouncing up and down in stress.
I was quick with the paddles and got us back to shore in about 3 minutes time, it took us 5 minutes to dock the boat and clean up the picnic and another 20 to walk to the house. We halfway up the sandy path alongst the ocean that led us to our homes when Kim stopped walking, effectively making me stop too as our hands were clasped together.
I turned and looked at her in confusion but she got on her tippy toes and pressed her lips to mine before I could question her. She pulled away before I even got a chance to kiss her back. She looked down smiling and mumbled "I just wanted to thank you for today…I haven't felt this happy in a while and I'm glad you're the person making me feel this way and not some douche who's just messing with my feelings you know? I've had a lot of trust issues lately but I don't feel that way with you and I got to know you even better on this date and I just, okay I'm rambling again but there's so much to say and –"
I dropped the picnic basket, which was in one hand and her hand, which was in the other before grabbing her waist and pushing her up against the nearest palm tree. I kissed her roughly and Kim kissed back. Her kisses made my stomach drop and (as girly and cliché as this sounds) my knees go weak, everything she did drove me insane. Something that was supposed to only last a minute ended up as a 15 minute make out session, which would've gone on for even longer if Kim's phone hadn't vibrated again. I pulled away but kept my hands on the palm tree by each side of her head trapping her between the tree and me. She dug into her bag searching for her phone to find that she'd gotten another text from Alex, which read "Parents r home, D & i r distracting them. We said u were hanging out near the water behind the house. Hurry b4 they check on u!"
Kim and I spent no time exchanging words. We knew exactly what we had to do. I grabbed the picnic basket and we started full out sprinting to my house. Once we got there we saw Dylan in the window up in his room signaling that the parents were coming out. Kim and I quickly sat on the sand and started randomly talking so we'd look like we'd been there a while.
We heard the back door open and turned to smile at our parents. None of them looked suspicious, but instead tired and curious to hear about our night. My mom, being the nosiest of them all, was the first to speak. "Did you have a nice night together?" I smiled and tried to reply as quickly as possible because the last thing I wanted was for my mother to decide that we needed to have a whole conversation about out date. It was already extremely awkward having both sets of parents here, no need to make it worse by going into the details. "Yeah we had a blast." I replied.
Now it was Kim's mom's turn to question us. "Do anything special in particular?" She asked grinning. Kim turned back towards the ocean so our parents wouldn't notice the deep blush on her cheeks. I smiled at our 'rents whilst trying to keep my thoughts from wandering back to the fine time Kim and I had at the palm tree, the last thing I needed was a hard-on in front of our parents. "Not really, just hung out and the usual stuff." "Alright, well we're heading back home, Alex is sleeping over but we expect Kim back home before I lock up, so hurry up with your goodbyes." Kim's father said. They bid my parents farewell and walked back to their own home, my parents soon after told me not to be too late too and went back inside as well.
The moment they left both let out a breath we didn't know we were holding in. "Well that was unbelievably close!" She exclaimed while nervously laughing. I nodded my head in agreement then leaned towards her. "I guess we'll just have to be more careful next time." I whispered staring her straight in the eyes. She smirked and replied, "I guess we will." Before leaning in and capturing my lips with her own.
Once we pulled away Kim looked back at her house and noticed that all the lights were slowly being turned off. "I should go, it's getting late." She said with a yawn. God she was so cute when she yawned. I stood and grabbed her hand pulling her up with me. After dusting the sand off of our clothes I pulled her into an embrace. "Thank you for today Jack…It meant a lot that you went through all that trouble for me" She whispered. "Don't thank me for something like that Kim, if any girl deserves this, it's you." I whispered back. She pulled away grinning and gave me one last kiss before turning to her house.
"See you tomorrow?" She called out when she got to her back door. I chuckled to myself because we both knew she already knew the answer to that. "Pick you up a 11." I called back. She smiled at me and opened the door. Just as she about to shut it I stopped and said "Night Kimmy." She poked her head out the door and stuck her tongue out at me with annoyance before cleverly replying "Night Jacky."
And with the shut of a door, she was gone.
Okaaay not my best, but cut me some slack?
