Author's Note: Thanks to Fishpinky, Angel Eyes and Dillon for the feedback. Glad you guys are enjoying this so far. I screwed up my finger, so writing this was very painful, but I wanted to update for you fast. If that's not love, I don't know what is!

It was about a week before Kim could function regularly around Jimmy. The whole week she felt like an awkward teenager again. Every time she would see him throughout the day, her heart would do a little flip-flop. Every time they made eye contact, she would look away and blush. Every time they were alone together, her stomach would be in a perpetual knot. Despite all her conflicting emotions, all these things seemed to provide an endless amount of amusement for Jimmy.
She was getting used to the idea of being back with him again though. Not nearly ready to tell anyone other than Alex, but she was making her way to acceptance. She was nervous about telling Joey because she still wasn't sure this was going to last, and she was absolutely dreading telling her mom. All Kim could envision was screaming that eventually manifested into a fist fight. That would just have to wait.
One thing she was surprised about was the fact that she and Jimmy hadn't slept together yet. It was a lot harder to sneak around Joey now that he was older. He was smarter now, and she knew they would get caught. But there was the issue of horniness to be dealt with. Hey, a woman has needs.
Kim dragged her tired body downstairs after changing into her street clothes and flopped on the couch. She felt like she hadn't slept in years. Things had been a little crazy and everyone was pulling longer shifts.
"Some of the guys are talking about going out for a drink. You game?" Alex asked as she flopped next to Kim, looking as tired as she felt.
"I don't need alcohol to help me pass out tonight. I'm already there," she yawned.
"You know, I can't even remember the last time I went out and did something fun? I feel like I live here now," Alex said with an agreeing yawn.
"You should see my apartment, or as I like to call it, 'the pit stop'. All I have energy to do is throw my clothes off and fall into bed," she chuckled.
"Did I hear something about you taking your clothes off?," smirked Jimmy, "Clearly, I came at the right moment in this conversation."
Kim threw a pillow at him and Alex rolled her eyes, "You really have nothing else going on in that little mind of yours do you?" Alex asked, disgusted. She was happy that Kim and Jimmy seemed to be doing ok, and that Kim finally seemed happy, but she definitely didn't need a visual.
"Aww, your just jealous, Taylor. You know you want me," he winked at her.
Alex scrunched her face at the idea, rolled of the couch and dragged herself to find her coat, "I need to get drunk," she mumbled under her breath.
Jimmy chuckled and flopped next to Kim, resting his head on her shoulder, "Mmm, long day," he drawled out sleepily.
"Get off me," Kim chuckled and pushed his head away.
Jimmy laughed and leaned on the arm of the couch to look at her, "My, my. Aren't we friendly tonight."
Kim smiled and leaned her head back, closing her eyes, "Everybody will start to get suspicious if we start hanging all over each other."
"You mean like this?" Jimmy asked and pulled her body to him so that she was laying between his legs.
Kim laughed and tried to pull away, but Jimmy was too strong, "Jimmy, I'm serious! Knock it off and let me go."
"Just the words every guy wants to hear from his girlfriend," Jimmy chuckled and loosed his grip, but still holding on to her.
Kim's body stiffened a little. That was the first time either one of them had referred to the other as boyfriend and girlfriend. Jimmy felt the tension in her body and waited for her to say something. Kim tried to sit up and pull away, but he tightened his grip on her arms a little. "You have to let me up," she whispered softly, not knowing what else to say.
"Make me," Jimmy teased.
"You really want to be saying that with me sitting between your legs?" Kim asked.
Jimmy laughed and let her go, "Point taken." Kim slouched against the couch, one of Jimmy's legs behind her, his other knee touching hers. "You freaked out on me there," he said softly and smiled.
Kim rolled her head to look at him, "No I didn't," she tried to lie. Jimmy quirked an eyebrow at her in disbelief. "What?" she laughed.
"Do you have a problem with me calling you that, because I kind of thought that was the situation with us, what with the making out and the declarations of love and what not," he smiled when he saw her laugh. "Am I wrong?"
Kim looked at him with a look of pure love, "No. You're not wrong. It was just the first time we've said that out loud. It's weird."
"Weird?" he asked incredulously. Out of all the words to describe how it felt to hear it for the first time, 'weird' was what she went with? Nice.
"Not weird bad, just...weird. And a little funny," she chuckled.
Jimmy moved his legs and sat up, "Great. So it's weird and funny. Kim, you really know how to make a guy feel special," he chuckled and ran his hand through his hair.
For some reason, that action had struck Kim as incredibly sexy, and she was incredibly horny. Kim looked over her shoulder to make sure no one was paying attention to them. No one was. She slid next to him and slipped her hand into his. "It was just a reality check. A good reality check," she smiled. "I love the way it sounded coming from your mouth."
The fog of sleepiness that had clouded Jimmy's brain was starting to lift as Kim rubbed his fingers with hers. Now his brain was starting to get clouded with something else. Jimmy rolled his head to look at her and was met with her lust-filled gaze. He moved his leg so that the outside of his leg touched hers while a slow, sexy, sleepy smile emerged on his face. "You're beautiful," he said quietly and returned her gaze.
Kim smiled, her hand slid from his and she ran it up his leg slightly, "I think you should take me home," she whispered huskily.
There was a one second delay while Jimmy contemplated being smart about things and slowing down, but with Kim looking at him the way she was and her hand dangerously close to an important and recently lonely area, he burst into action. He ran upstairs to grab his bag, ran back down and was met with a very relaxed, and hot girlfriend leaning casually against his car. He smiled at the desire in her eyes.
"Yo, Jimmy!" Walsh yelled.
Jimmy stopped in his tracks and closed his eyes, willing the voice away. He noticed Kim straitening up and sighed, the mood broken. "What's up man?"
"We're all going to Haggerty's to grab a beer. You two are comin', right?" he asked, completely oblivious to what was going on.
"Not tonight. I'm beat and was gonna give Kim a lift home," Jimmy yawned for emphasis.
"Aw, come on guys! It's D.K.'s birthday and we're all going out to celebrate. Kim, you gonna blow us off like this no-good?" Walsh laughed.
Kim sauntered up to the men and smiled, "I guess I could hang out for awhile."
Jimmy's eyes nearly popped out of his head when he looked at Kim. What in the hell was she thinking?! "Are you sure? It's been a pretty long day," Jimmy tried to give her a way out.
"Suck it up, you wuss!" Walsh laughed and turned to walk away.
Jimmy laughed and waited for Walsh to disappear, then gave Kim an extremely pissed off look. "What are you doing?! I thought we were gonna..." he trailed off.
"It would look really bad if we both refused to go. Jimmy, these people know us. They would know something is up?" Kim tried not to laugh at Jimmy's desperate look.
"Oh and leaving together from a bar will look so much better!" Jimmy said sarcastically.
"Who said I was leaving with you?" Kim asked with a sweet smile and walked towards the rest of the gang. She looked over her shoulder to see Jimmy giving her the evil eye. She turned around, walking backwards and shrugged her shoulders, laughing.
Jimmy shook his head and tried to hide his answering smile, walking towards her and the rest of the gang. She winked at him, and he smirked, knowing exactly who she would be leaving the bar with.
