A Love Unexpected

Kim walked into the firestation. Today was her first day working here. Doc saw Kim and walked over to her.

"Hey," Doc said.

"Hi," Kim said. She was so nervous.

"So are you ready for me to introduce you to everyone?" Doc asked. He saw the look of unease in her eyes.

"Relax, It's no high school," Doc said.

"Yeah I'm ready," Kim said. Doc lead Kim into the kitchen where everyone was hanging out and making fun of Carlos' cooking.

"Everyone this is Kim Zambrano. She's the new medic," Doc said.

"Why don't you go upstairs and change?" Doc said to Kim. He could tell that she was nervous especially with everyone staring at her.

Kim went upstairs to change. She was in the middle of changing when Jimmy walked up. Jimmy couldn't keep his eyes off her.

"So you're the new medic," Jimmy said smiling deeply at her.

"Yeah, I'm Kim," Kim said smiling back at him. She couldn't keep her eyes off him either. He seemed so nice.

"I'm Jimmy," Jimmy said. He wanted to spend as much time as possible with Kim. For some reason he felt like he knew her already.

"Well I better go back downstairs," Kim said.

Jimmy watched as Kim went downstairs. He sighed deeply as he remembered he was with Sarah. He couldn't hurt Sarah after all the times he cheated on her and she still stayed with him. The only reason he did cheat on Sarah was because he didn't love her. He just couldn't hurt her like that.

"Hey Kim," Doc said. He wondered what took her so long.

"Hey," Kim said. She sat down on the couch next this spanish looking guy.

"Kim that is Bobby. He'll be your partner," Doc said.

"Hey," Bobby said smiling at her.

"Hey," Kim said back. She was going to say something else but then she saw Jimmy come down. Bobby noticed that Kim was staring at Jimmy.

"Hey Kim," Jimmy said sitting next to her and putting his arm around her shoulder. He saw Bobby sitting on the other side of Kim. He knew that some how Bobby would ruin things for him.

"You don't want to get involved with Jimmy," Bobby whispered in Kim's ear. He saw Kim look at him strangely.

"Why not?" Kim whispered back.

"He's already seeing some one. He'll just rind up hurting you," Bobby said. He hoped Kim would listen to him.

"Oh," Kim said with disappointment. She really liked Jimmy, but she couldn't be with him if he was with some one else.

"Oh what?" Jimmy asked curiously.

"Nothing," Kim lied. She could tell that Jimmy didn't believe that.

"Bobby I need to talk to you alone," Jimmy said. Bobby followed Jimmy upstairs.

"What's this about?" Bobby asked.

"What did you tell her?" Jimmy asked.

"The truth. I told her that you're already seeing some one and that you'll only rind up hurting her," Bobby said.

"I would never hurt her," Jimmy said. He wouldn't be able to hurt Kim.

"You already have. You let her believe she had a chance with you when she doesn't," Bobby said.

"What makes you say she doesn't have a chance with me?" Jimmy asked angrily.

"The fact that you're dating Sarah," Bobby said.

"So what. I don't love Sarah," Jimmy said.

"You don't love Kim either," Bobby yelled back.

"Yeah, so what," Jimmy said.

"I won't let you hurt her," Bobby said.

"Well I won't. It's not my fault that she likes me and not you," Jimmy yelled and went back downstairs.

"What's wrong?" Kim asked Jimmy when she saw him come down the stairs.

"Nothing," Jimmy lied and pulled Kim into his arms. He held her tight and breathed in her scent. There was no way he would let Bobby have her. He would make sure of that.

"Did something happen upstairs?" Kim asked with concern. She knew there was something wrong.

"Bobby told me how he was going to use you. I just don't want him to hurt you," Jimmy lied.

"But why would Bobby use me?" Kim asked. He seemed so nice and sincere.

"Because he wants to get you into bed," Jimmy said.

"Oh," Kim said. She didn't know what or who to believe. But she wanted to believe Jimmy. She liked him so much.

"Lets get out of here," Jimmy said.

"Okay," Kim agreed. They went upstairs to change and went to Jimmy's place. Jimmy knew what he was doing to Kim was wrong, but right now he didn't care.
