Sully had finally run out of topics to cover about an hour later and made his excuses and left. Kim rubbed her face tiredly and looked at her watch. It was already three in the morning and they all had to be at work in a few hours. Kim debated whether it would be smarter just to sleep her than to go all the way home, but put her coat on and walked to the pool table. A game had just ended and Alex, Davis, Jimmy and Faith were all bragging about how they had beat the other team.
"I'm headin' out, guys. Happy birthday, D.K." Kim smiled and gave him a hug.
Jimmy stopped clowning around and watched Kim get ready to leave. If he left now, somebody would say something, but he really, really wanted to leave.
"I'm out too, guys," Alex stated and grabbed her stuff.
"Me too. I'll walk you ladies," Davis offered, much to Alex's delight.
Kim smiled as Alex and Davis made eyes at each other and looked over at Jimmy. He looked a little lost. He wanted to go too, but it would be hell to explain to everyone else. "Jimmy, I think I left my scarf in your car," Kim said, trying to hide her smile.
Jimmy raised his brows, "Oh. Well, I'll walk back to the car with you and get it."
Alex was looking at her like she was the biggest nerd she'd ever seen and laughed. Kim wanted to laugh too. It sounded completely stupid in her ears, but no one else was giving them looks so she tampered down on the urge.
They started to make their way down the street.Alex and Davis were walking a few feet ahead and Jimmy and Kim were walking side by side. "Well, that was interesting," Kim smiled.
"Yeah, not obvious at all," Jimmy smiled back.
Kim's smile vanished, "You don't think they suspect, do you?" she asked in worry.
"Kim, everyone was too drunk to suspect." Jimmy glanced at her, "Would it be so bad if they did know?"
"Yes! It would!" she lowered her voice when Alex turned around and frowned at her in warning. "Jimmy, I'm not even used to the idea of us being together again. I don't want everyone else to know yet." Kim felt bad when she saw the look of uncertainty on Jimmy's face.
"Guys? Why don't I just drive you home tonight? " Jimmy offered and moved away from Kim. They accepted and got in the car, Alex and Kim in the back.
"Now what's wrong?" Alex asked, looking from her to Jimmy.
"Nothing's wrong," Kim lied.
"I don't believe you but I'm gonna let it go for now because I'm too happy to have you dump your shit on me tonight," Alex teased and giggled into her coat.
"What is up with you?" Kim asked, laughing at her. Alex refused to answer, but had a giddy look on her face all the way to her house. Davis stepped out and let Alex out from the back.
"You're gonna have to give me directions to your place, I've never been there, man," Jimmy called out to Davis.
Davis squatted and leaned on the window ledge, looking into the car, "I'm good, man. I'm gettin' off here tonight," he smiled at the double meaning.
Alex kicked him and leaned over to say goodbye. Kim was staring at her with her mouth open. That's explained the giddiness. "Don't forget anything in the back seat!" Alex called over her shoulder, making Kim blush and laugh.
Jimmy pulled back onto the road with Kim still in the back seat. "Are they back together now?" Jimmy asked.
"As of tomorrow morning they might be," Kim smiled, happy that her best friend was getting some. Hey, if not herself, than someone should.
The rest of the drive was ridden in silence. Jimmy pulled up to the curb of Kim's house and shut the car off. "Do you hate me?," Kim asked quietly from the back.
Jimmy looked at her in the rearview mirror, "Why would I hate you?"
"Because I have so many rules about us not telling anyone and I won't let you come up," Kim said nervously.
Jimmy smiled softly and looked down, "Of course I don't hate you, Kimmy. It just doesn't seem like you're very sure about us all the time."
Kim sighed and slumped back into the seat, "I guess I'm not," Kim admitted softly.
Jimmy's shoulders tensed. That had not been the answer he was expecting. He was hoping to hear some reassurance. "Oh."
Kim looked up at him and realized how that must have sounded to him. She scooted to the edge of the seat, "No! Jimmy, that came out really wrong. Really, really wrong!" She rested her head on the seat in front of her and gently turned his face to look at her. "I'm sure that I love you. I just hope that's enough this time around."
Jimmy looked at her seriously, "You know that I love you, right?"
Kim smiled and kissed his lips softly, "Yeah. I know."
"I guess the rest we'll just have to work on, huh?" he smiled and brushed some hair from her face.
"Yeah, I guess," she smiled and nuzzled his palm. She turned and looked at her apartment building. "I should probably go in. My mom always panics until I'm home even if I call her. I guarantee you she'd panic if she saw what we were doing right now," Kim laughed.
"But we're not doing anything. Now I can understand that she might get upset if I did this," Jimmy said and climbed over the back seat and sat next to Kim, pulling her close to him. He leaned over and kissed her neck.
"No way!" Kim laughed and pushed him away.
"What?! You can't come to my place and you won't let me come up to yours. This is the only option, baby!" he laughed and pinched her sides, making her laugh. They wrestled around until Jimmy was on top of a struggling Kim. "Now what are you gonna do?" he laughed.
Kim laughed and tried to get up, "Get off!"
"That's exactly what I'm trying to do!" he laughed.
They both calmed down and Jimmy kissed her soundly. "You know, we could get arrested for this." Kim stated between kisses.
"I haven't done this in months, so I'll risk it," Jimmy kissed his way down her neck.
"Months? Wow. That's gotta be some kind of record for you. Should I be worried you're out of practice? I mean, you do remember where everything goes, right?" Kim laughed and screamed when Jimmy bit her shoulder.
"I can't believe the first time we make love in three years, it's in the back of my car at four in the morning outside of your apartment building where your mom is sleeping," Jimmy grumbled and kissed his way across her chest to the other shoulder.
"Reminds me of our first date," Kim laughed and ran her hands through his hair.
Jimmy had to laugh at that and reached under her shirt to cup her breast. "I think I'm actually relapsing into my college years as we speak," he said and nibbled on her ear.
Kim lifted one leg and braced it against the window and wrapped the other around his body, "I wasn't aware that you ever grew out of them," she snickered.
Jimmy snorted in laughter and raised up on his arms and looked down at her, "You know, this would be a hell of a lot easier if you were wearing a skirt."
"I guess you'll have to work extra hard," she laughed.
"Why don't you ever wear skirts anymore?" Jimmy asked. "You have great legs," he said and licked down her neck.
Kim moaned and tried to lean up on her elbows to get some leverage, "Like the guys at the station don't have enough to tease me about. I don't wanna add prancing around in a skirt to the list."
"I don't think any of the guys would have any objections to you prancing around in a skirt," Jimmy mumbled into her neck.
"And you would be ok with Carlos ogling at my legs?" Kim smiled when she felt him stop.
Jimmy raised his head, "You're right. Scratch that. I'm the only one allowed to ogle at your legs."
Jimmy slowly unbuttoned her tight black shirt with one hand while the other gently squeezed her thigh. He felt her hands run up the back of his shirt, scratching up and down his back, making him crazy. Her shirt slipped open, one side falling away to reveal a perfect, bra covered breast. He heard her moan and watched as her nipples hardened through her bra in anticipation. He kissed down the valley between her breasts, all the way down to her belly button, which considering the tight space they were in, was pretty impressive. Jimmy kissed his way back up her body until he found her mouth.
"For a minute there I thought I really was flashing back to our first date," Kim teased.
Jimmy smiled and indulged in a moment of male satisfaction at the memory. That was a taste he would never forget. He leaned down and kissed Kim hard, moaning when he felt her tongue slide in his mouth. Even though they had been dating for a couple weeks now, they had been working so much they were usually to tired to go on a actual date or even fool around. They had been to dinner a couple of times and made out in the front seat of his car, but for the most part it was quick kisses snuck in before and after work. And this was how they were gonna make love. In his car. At 4 in the morning. When they had to be at work at 6 to pull a double shift.
Jimmy pulled away and looked down at Kim, "Does this feel a little wrong to you?" Jimmy panted, trying to control himself.
"No. This feels very, very right," Kim purred and tried to pull him back down.
"Wait a second," he said and untangled himself from her, sitting up and leaning against the window. Kim's legs were still wrapped around him and the view of her laying there with her shirt open, lips swollen and eyes glazed over was making him second guess his noble inclinations.
Kim propped herself up on her elbows, "What's the matter? Don't tell me you actually did forget how to do this," she laughed.
Jimmy chuckled and reached for her hands and pulled her up to a sitting position, her legs draped over his thighs. "Do you really want the first time we do this to be at 4 in the morning, in the back of my car, where anyone could walk by and watch?" he asked with a small smile on his face.
"Jimmy, this isn't our first time. It's never candlelight and rose petals with us. But that's ok. I like our way too," she blushed and laughed.
Jimmy smiled and leaned forward to kiss her, "I know it's not our first time, but that doesn't mean it can't be special. I don't know about you, but this doesn't feel very special."
Kim looked at Jimmy's wrinkled shirt and mussed up hair, "You look pretty good to me," she smiled, still feeling her hormones raging.
Jimmy chuckled, tangled his hands in her hair and pulled her close for a kiss. Kim was still balancing her weight on her hands, but kissed him back hard. "You look really good to me too."
"I'm sensing a but," Kim sighed and leaned back.
Jimmy smiled, "But I think we should wait. Maybe not for the candlelight and rose petals, but at least till there's a bed," he laughed.
Kim laughed and pulled her legs away so should was sitting facing the front. She leaned her head back against the seat and ran a hand through her tousled hair, "I can't believe you're refusing sex. Things would have been so different if you'd said that on our first date," she laughed and re-buttoned her shirt.
"I wasn't that stupid on our first date," he snickered and thumped his head against the window.
"You know, it could be a while before an opportunity like that presents itself, right?" Kim asked.
Jimmy sighed, "Yeah, I know."
Kim climbed into the front seat and he followed. They sat in silence for a while, trying to gain some composure. Kim checked herself in the mirror, "Oh god," she chuckled, "my mom is gonna know something happened. I look trashed!"
Jimmy laughed and turned her head to kiss her, "Just the way I like you."
"Mmm, I have to go. Don't start again," she laughed.
"I'll just sleep down here and give you a ride to work in a couple hours," he smiled sleepily.
Kim raked her hand through his hair, "Are you sure you can make it home alright?"
Jimmy turned on the engine, "No."
Kim laughed and got out of the car, "Call me if you end up in a ditch or something."
"Say hi to Mommy for me," he smiled sarcastically. He watched as Kim walked to the door, turned around, blew him a kiss and disappeared. His beautiful, sexy ex-wife/girlfriend had been ready and willing to have sex in the back of his car and he had said no. Jimmy slammed his head against the steering wheel and sighed. He was definitely getting soft in his old age.
