Ann Possible's eyes fluttered open as she stared into the brown eyes of her husband who was smiling at her. "What?" Ann asked with a smile of her own.
"Just thinking. I can't remember the last time we did anything like last night."
"Probably before I had Kim," Ann said. James chuckled.
"Speaking of Kim do you think we should punish her for lying to us about her costume?"
"No. She's a teenager it's not a big deal. I don't like her lying but I'll talk to her. Besides I was a teenager once and there were definitely some outfits I did not want my parents to find out about," Ann said.
"Really? Do tell," James said. Ann chuckled.
Ann removed the sheet from her exposed body and James smiled. She was still as beautiful as when he met her twenty-four years ago.
"Are you coming to join me?" Ann asked as she peeped out from the bathroom. James smiled and removed the sheet from his own body, and ran into the bathroom after his wife.
•••••••••
Kim was up, thinking about Brick and Bonnie even though she knew she shouldn't be. She just couldn't believe Bonnie would give Brick another chance to hurt her like before.
Although, there was nothing she could do. In her many years of knowing Bonnie she realized that Bonnie Rockwaller only listened to Bonnie Rockwaller.
She supposed she would just have to let her brunette friend do what she wanted to do then she would pick up the pieces that would no doubtedly be there after Brick breaks Bonnie's heart yet again. Kim decided she would stop worrying about the brunette. She was a big girl that could take care of herself.
Kim's mind went to the two hair coloured boy whom she kissed.
She smiled. But wait? Where was the paper with his number? Kim was so faded last night she didn't even know where her phone was.
Kim jumped up from her bed and started searching. She found the paper crumpled up under her bed.
Now she had to find her phone. She searched her room but her phone was nowhere to be found.
She went downstairs, grabbed her car keys and entered her car. There her phone was, in the cup holder. Kim went back into her room and texted Josh.
Kim: Hey
A few seconds later, Josh responded.
Josh: Is this Kim?
Kim: Yeah. Monique delivered your msg.
Josh: So wanna hang out today? We could go swimming.
Kim: Sure.
Josh: How about we meet at the park and go from there?
Kim: Sure.
Josh: 12?
Kim: It's a date.

Bonnie walked to her fridge and poured herself some orange juice. She smilled as she noticed her older sister Connie hungover, sitting at the table.
"Uh-oh looks like someone had a little too much to drink last night. Are you white girl wasted?" Bonnie asked.
"Bonnie please I feel like there is a mariachi band inside my head. I don't have the strength to go there with you right now," Connie groaned.
"Where's your other half? Is she as shit faced as you are?"
"Since when am I my sister's keeper? Since you insist on bothering me why don't you make yourself useful and pass me some aspirin?"
Bonnie put her hands on her hips. "What's the magic word?"
Connie rolled her eyes and stood up. "Forget it I'll do it myself."
"Suit yourself," Bonnie said, walking away.
After finishing her orange juice, Bonnie showered and got dressed in a spaghetti strap white dress and white sneakers. She grabbed her white clutch purse and she was ready to go.
As she closed her room door she ran into Lonnie.
"I saw your picture from the halloween party." "Did you like my outfit?" Bonnie asked. "No," Lonnie said. "You looked like a slut."
"Perfect! That's exactly the look I was going for." "Were you wearing my stockings in the picture?"
"Excuse me! Miss thing. You're not the only person in the world who owns garter stockings you know. I bought them," Bonnie lied. "Is that all?" When Lonnie didn't respond, Bonnie smiled. "Good. I'm leaving."
Bonnie connected her phone to her car and started playing her music as she pulled out of her driveway. Ten minutes later and she was at Hope's house.
"Hey hey hey!" Hope greeted. Hope was wearing a burgundy crop top with a matching plaid skirt and wedge heels.
"Ooh you look cute," she said to Bonnie. "Hey. Thanks. So do you," Bonnie said. "So is it just gonna be you and me?"
"No Jessica's coming with us."
"Cool," she said. "Do you mind if I connect my phone?" "Go for it," Bonnie said.
Thirty mitnutes later and Bonnie pulled up at Jessica's house. "Hey," Jessica greeted Bonnie and Hope. Bonnie wasn't as close to Jessica as she was to Hope or Tara but she did talk to the blonde girl and she enjoyed her company as much as the other girls on the cheer squad.
Jessica chose a black crop top, white jeans and black sandals. "Ugh!" Jessica groaned as her phone pinged in her hand. "Uh-oh. What's the matter?" Hope asked.
"It's Steve. He keeps texting me and it's like dude we're on a break. That means don't text me every hour of everyday," Jessica said.
"Why are you two on a break?" Bonnie asked. "Because he's too clingy and I need air to breathe. He's suffocating me."
"No. The two of them are on a break because she hooked up with his brother who she also likes and she feels guilty," Hope interjected. "Jess you didn't!" Bonnie gasped.
"Thanks a lot big mouth," she said, hitting Hope.
"How long has this been going on?" Bonnie asked. "It only happened once and I feel guilty about cheating on Steve because he's so sweet but I kind of have feelings for Martin too and we have way more in common but I don't know what to do," Jessica sighed.
"I say if you don't want to date Steve anymore then don't. Don't settle because you feel guilty and most of all, don't cheat."
The way Bonnie said "don't cheat" scared Jessica and Hope a bit but Jessica nodded. "You're right. I mean it's not my fault if I like his brother more but it's not fair of me to string him along."
"Right," Bonnie said. "Maybe don't date his brother immediately after breaking up with him. I mean unless you want him to hate you forever," Hope added.
"You guys are right. Thank you. Do you mind if we keep this between us? I don't need anyone else knowing about this in case it gets back to Steve. I want to tell him first," Jessica said.
"Sure," Hope said. "Yeah no problem," Bonnie added.
Bonnie pulled into the mall and all three of them got out of the car.
•••••••••
Kim pulled her hair into a ponytail and looked her swimsuit over. Should she go with the red or the black? Maybe I'll call Monique. Kim thought before dialing her dark skinned bestie.
"Hey girl! Oohhh that is a cute swimsuit!" Monique said.
"Thanks. Are you at work?" Kim asked. "No. My shift starts at 1."
"Where are you going today?" Monique wiggled her eyebrows. "Josh invited me to go swimming."
Monique squealed. "So you texted him huh?" "Yeah and I can't decide if I should wear the red or the black."
"I like the red but let's see the black," Monique said.
Kim set her phone down and changed into her black monokini.
"Mmmh that's cute too but I think you should wear the red. Show off that bod girl! Definitely the red," Monique said.
"Alright red it is. Thanks Mo."
"No problem Kim. What time are you meeting him?"
"At 12," Kim said. "Well you got thirty minutes so you better get off the phone and finish getting ready! Call me when you're done."
"Bye Mo," Kim said. She changed out of the black swimsuit and into the red before slipping on a floral dress and flip flops.
Deciding she was okay with her appearance, Kim left to go meet Josh at the park.
Josh was dressed in a blue and white short sleeved shirt and blue swim trunks. "You look great," Josh said. "Thanks so do you."
The two teens stood standing nervously, staring at each other until Kim spoke. "Should we get going?" "Oh. Uh yeah," Josh opened the door to his car and Kim sat down.
A comfortable silence fell over the two teens as Josh drove to the lake.
••••••••
The lake was relatively full given that it was a Saturday afternoon, though it didn't bother Kim. She just liked being out with Josh.
Kim removed her dress and Josh stared at her body. Kim really did have a nice figure. Slender but with curves. Josh stopped staring and removed his shirt.
Kim and Josh held hands as they entered the lake. The water was cold against their warm skins.
Josh held Kim close as they moved around in the water. "You have the most beautiful eyes," Josh said. Kim blushed. "I could say the same for you blue eyes," Kim said.
Josh chuckled.
Kim leaned in and placed a gentle kiss on Josh's lips. Josh lifted Kim up and her legs wrapped around his waist as they kissed again, deeper this time.
••••••••••
"These too," Bonnie said as she placed three pairs of jeans in addition to her other outfits on the counter of Club Banana.
Monique cashed Bonnie's stuff then Hope's then Jessica's.
"Thanks Monique," Hope said as the three girls left Club Banana.
The three of them grabbed a seat in the food court. "My feet are killing me," Hope whined and removed her heels.
"What should we get to eat? Pizza?" Jessica asked. "Sure," Bonnie said. "Pepperoni right?"
The two girls nodded. "Great. Brb," Jessica said, then walked off.
"So what's going on between you and Mr. Brick? Are you broken up or are you not? Cause we're all wondering after that big stunt you pulled at Amelia's party," Hope said.
"It's complicated," Bonnie said with a sigh. "Do you still love him?" Hope asked.
"I do but sometimes I wonder if that's enough you know?"
"Well make you should take your own advice and break up with him," Hope said.
"Maybe I don't know. I'm not sure yet but I don't wanna talk about it anymore. I'm not gonna let my boyfriend bring me down," Bonnie said.
"There's something I've never heard before," Hope snorted. "That's something I've never said before," Bonnie admitted.
Jessica came back with the pizza. "Mmmm that smells amazing. Let's dig in," Hope said.
••••••••
After splashing around in the water and kissing some more, Kim and Josh took a break from the water. "Hey. You wanna go back to my place?"
"Uh um sure," Kim said.
The whole way to Josh's place Kim was nervous. She knew what it meant when a guy invited you to his place. Was she prepared for this? What would this mean for her and Josh? Well she was about to find out.
•••••••••
"Nice place," Kim said as she and Josh walked up the stairs to his room.
"Thanks," Josh said.
Kim sat on Josh's bed looking around at his photos. She saw one of him at about four years old wearing a baseball hat and a mitt.
"Awww. This is cute," Kim said walking over to the dresser and picking up the picture.
"That was the first baseball match my dad ever took me to," Josh said with a hint of sadness in his tone.
"Did something happen to your dad?" Kim asked. "Yeah uh he died in a car accident two years ago."
"I'm so sorry," Kim said. "Me too."
Kim put the picture down and sat on the bed next to Josh.
He held Kim's face and kissed her. Kim climbed onto Josh's lap as her hands roamed his body.
He lifted Kim's dress over her head, leaving her in her slightly damp swimsuit.
Kim removed his shirt. Kim pushed Josh down onto the bed as she started planting kisses all over his neck...
Will they or won't they? Stay tuned to find out.
