If It Was Meant To Be-Ch.2
Rosario walked up the numerous steps to Mrs. Walkers bedroom. She knocked lightly on the door, and no one answered. So she slowly pushed it open and peered inside. She smiled at what she saw. Karen was curled up against Jack and he had his arms wrapped protectively around her. Both with a tiny smile on there face. Of course it didn't shock Rosario. She often came in to find them this way, it never really registered completely with her how odd it was for a married woman and a gay man to be taking naps together. But because it was them she just brushed it off as another one of the odd little things they did.
She walked around the room picking up Karens sling backs and coat and placed them in there proper places in Karens extensive closet. She then walked back into the room and set Jacks shoes neatly next to the end of the bed. Trying to make the least amount of noise possible she walked out of the room and shut the door behind her.
Jack stirred a little and then his eyes slowly fluttered open. It took him a moment to remember where he was. As he stretched a bit he felt a tiny weight pressed up against him and smiled when he looked over to find Karen. A strand of hair had fallen in her eyes and he reached over and brushed it aside. He watched her for a while, she looked so peaceful, so beautiful. Jack noticed that these thoughts he had for her were coming a lot more often now. He didn't mind them, but they were confusing him a bit.
"After all I'm attracted to men, and only men...right?" he thought to himself. His thoughts were interrupted when he saw that Karens eyes had opened.
She smiled and turned herself around so that she was face to face with Jack.
"Hey gorgeous" He said to her. She giggled and poked his side, "Hey cutie" She buried her face in his neck and closed her eyes. They laid there for a while more until Jack broke the silence.
"What do you wanna do tonight Kare?"
"I dunno" she mumbled into his neck.
He reached up and began to run his fingers through her hair. She smiled to herself, she loved how he was so affectionate with her. She couldn't do stuff like this with Stan, it was awkward due to his size partly, but more so because she never really felt comfortable with him. Showing her feelings for people wasn't an easy thing for her to do, in fact it was a rare thing. But for some reason it came easily to her when she was with Jack.
"Oh lets go to the movies!" Jack exclaimed. "But honey I have a theater here" Karen said confused.
"I know, but its so much more fun to go out to the movie theaters! Its the whole experience! You know Kare?"
"No honey I don't" Karen said looking a bit nervous.
"Well then, I'll have to take you" Jack said smiling down at her.
"But poodle I'm scared! The movie theaters doesn't discriminate like Barney's does! I might have to sit within viewing range of a lesser person!" she whined.
"I'll hold your hand" he said giving her a devilish smile.
"Well....okay" She said apprehensively.
"Thats my girl!" Jack said patting her on the hip. "Now lets get ready!" Jack hopped out of bed, grabbing Karen's hands and lifting her up off the bed with him.
Jack took one of her hands and lifted it in the air twirling her around, all the while looking at her entire body head to toe.
"Okay I see... black Emporio Armani blouse, Prada wool knee length skirt, Prada black runway pumps with your Giuliana Teso mink coat and Lana Marks croc bag!"
"Oh honey your good!" Karen said smiling as she ran into her closet and put on exactly what he suggested. She walked out slowly and twirled for him.
"What do you think!?" She asked excitedly.
"You look absolutely amazing!" Jack said staring at her. "But one thing is missing"
Confused, she watched as he walked into her closet and then seconds later came back out with on of her diamond choker like necklaces. She lifted her hair up as he stood behind her and placed the necklace around her. His fingers brushed up against her neck as he fumbled with the clasp. She could feel his breath against her skin and suddenly she got butterflies in her stomach.
"There you go" he said. She released her hair and stepped in front of the mirror to look over herself.
"Perfect" Jack said. She smiled over at him and then grabbed his hand entwining her fingers with his. "Okay, lets go to the movies!"

When the arrived at the movies Karen had stuck closely by Jack not wanting to accidently bump into outlet store clothing fabrics on the people walking by.
"Honey.." Karen began to whine "All I see are sales at Walmart walking around! ...and I don't even know where a Walmart is......this can't be good poodle!"
"Karebear don't worry you'll be fine! I promise. Now come on lets go get popcorn!"
He lead her over to the counter and ordered for them both. Then they made there way to the theater finding good seats that were just far enough away from anyone else so Karen didn't have to hear, see or smell them.
The dancing candy and soda began to come on telling everyone not to talk during the movie and Jack got all excited and giddy like a little kid. Karen looked over at him and giggled. She watched as his eyes lit up and he laughed at the dancing candy boxes. She adored him, she really did.
"I wonder if he knows that" she thought as she watched him revert his attention to the popcorn now that the previews were over.
Half way through the movie Karen began to get a little antsy. She had to admit this was a lot of fun though. She grabbed the popcorn bag out of Jacks hand and took a piece out.
"Jack..."she whispered " Jaaack.." she finally got his attention. He looked over at her questioningly.
"Wha.." He began, but before he could finish she had thrown the piece of popcorn right in his open mouth. She began to laugh hysterically at the look on his face. Seeing that she was enjoying herself he motioned for her to do it again. He opened his mouth and this time she threw it high up into the air and he had to move around in his seat to catch it in his mouth. They both cracked up at there antics and began to throw popcorn at each other.
Someone looked back and "shhh's" them.
"Mind your business K-Mart!" Karen retorted back at them. Jack cracked up and continued to throw popcorn at her until they were pretty much all out.
As the credits began to roll, they were about to get up to leave when Jack reached over to Karen. "You have a piece of popcorn in your hair" He said smiling as he moved to pull it out he looked down to find there faces extremely close and all of a sudden there eyes locked. He felt his breathing shallow as he tried to look away but he couldn't. Suddenly the lights began to come on in the theater and it snapped them out of there daze.
"Oh..um...I got it" He said nervously as he moved away quickly.
"Thanks" she said. She looked over at him and smiled, taking his hand. Come on Jackie its late, lets go.
When they arrived back at the penthouse Jack walked Karen into the foyer.
"Well I should get going" Jack said looking down at the ground. "I promised Will I'd help him with something"
"Oh, okay" Karen said a bit disappointed. "Well I'll see you tomorrow right?" She asked.
"Of course" He said looking up and smiling at her. "Are you okay Jackie?"
"Yeah, don't worry Karebear I'm fine" He said trying to sound reassuring.
"Okay goodnight poodle" Karen said giving him a quick kiss on the cheek.
"Goodnight Karebear"
