Meanwhile upstairs Kim and Alex seemed to be getting along again, or at the very least they weren't on the verge of killing each other, nor fighting anymore.
"Can I ask you question?" Alex asked Kim.
"I can't guarantee I'll give you an answer, and if I do you probably won't like the answer," replied Kim.
Kim was still a little annoyed with Alex for not telling her about what was going on with Jimmy. But she decided that she would rather try to talk to Alex then be downstairs listening to the guys go on about women.
"What attracted you to Jimmy?"
Kim thought for a moment. She thought about the first day she had met Jimmy, she liked what he looked like, but she had been warned about him.
"I think it was more along the lines of he was attracted to me, and he wouldn't take no for an answer. Finally I told him I'd go out with him sometime to shut him up," Kim replied.
Alex laughed. "Oh."
"Why do you ask?"
Alex shrugged. "I don't know, I just- do you two still have something going on?"
"No, that's been done for a while now. I , for one, am not looking to try again anymore."
"How can I be sure?"
Kim shrugged. "For one thing I like to think we're friends, so I would never do anything with a friend's um, current whatever Jimmy is to you."
Alex smiled. "That makes me feel better."
Kim realized that despite what had happened she did still consider Alex to be a friend, or she would like to try to keep the peace between them.
What had happened between Kim and Jimmy had been in the past, and Kim was finally accepting that, and wanting to keep it there. It wasn't like she was jealous that Alex was with Jimmy or anything like that.
She was just pissed off about the way she found out about everything. It had hurt the night before when she had seen them in the parking lot. She wasn't expecting it, and although she knew that she didn't want anything more with Jimmy, it was still a kick in the stomach.
"Look you may have pissed me off when you didn't tell me about him, but I'm not the kind of person that really holds a grudge. Well, sometimes with family but not so much with friends, cause I think that's a little stupid."
"Yeah me too."
"I probably over reacted this morning, anyway. It was just first I had Bobby on my case about Bosco. Then you walk in all innocent, it just got to me."
Alex nodded. "I really do understand why you're so upset, and I'm really sorry."
"Yeah, I'm sorry, too, about this morning."
Alex hugged her friend. "I think we need to try and stay allies around here."
Kim nodded. "I totally agree. So what's bothering you about the whole thing with Jimmy?"
"I just feel like a slut cause I'm not looking for anything serious from him. I mean the less serious it is the better."
Kim laughed. "Then you're his perfect woman."
"That's the thing, that's not what I'm looking for, at all."
"Then there really isn't a problem, cause I know that's not what Jimmy wants."
Alex shrugged. "I just feel like a slut."
"You're really not. If you're such a slut then name, let's go with two guys you've slept with, that work either here or next door."
"You know I didn't sleep with Bobby I can't, there's just Jimmy."
"Then you're not the slut, but I certainly am."
Kim had no problem saying that she was. She knew what other people thought of her, and she got sick of fighting it. If that's what they thought of her, then so be it. It didn't matter anymore because she was happy, and accepted what she did.
"Cause you've slept with Bosco and you were married to Jimmy?" Alex asked, surprised that Kim would call herself a slut.
"I've also slept with Bobby too, actually," Kim admitted.
"What?"
"It was a while ago, but yeah we had a one night stand."
"Really?"
"Why would I lie?"
Alex laughed. "I always thought there was something more between the two of you!"
Kim shook her head. "It was a one night stand nothing more. Now, who else have I messed around with around here?"
"I don't know." Alex laughed, nervously.
"I've also messed around with Sweet one night after Jimmy blew me off."
Alex laughed. "I don't feel so bad."
"Also, I doubt I would have actually married Jimmy had I not been pregnant."
"Oh?"
"I don't make excuses for what I am, really. As long as I'm okay with what and who I am, who cares what other people think about you, right?"
"Exactly!"
"If you think about it Jimmy is treated like a god around here because of his reputation." Kim was on a roll. "What's so different about me? He's got a kid too, he can get away with not taking care of him."
It had always made Kim nuts that the guys who slept around were toted as heroes of sorts, while she was being called all kinds of unflattering names. But she had come to accept that that's way it worked.
Alex nodded. "It hardly seems fair does it?"
"I'm used to it really. I'd still be a bigger slut if Jimmy managed to knock someone else up. It's just the way it works."
Alex laughed. "Any way you look at it it's stupid."
Kim nodded. "Yeah, I know, it's crazy. So if you ever start feeling like a slut, just think of this conversation." Kim laughed.
Alex laughed. "I will from now on."
"Do you think they're talking about us down there?"
"I wouldn't put it past them." Alex went silent for a long moment. "Do you still love Jimmy?"
Kim looked up at her surprised. "No! Not even a little bit."
"Then why were you so mad at me this morning?"
"Because I still care about Jimmy. He gave me Joey, and because of that I will always care about him, and there are days where I want to be with him, and force myself to love him again for Joey's sake."
"What changed?"
"What do you mean what changed?"
"Since this morning, that all of a sudden you seem to be fine with it?"
"Nothing," Kim tried to assure her, but the dumb grin on her face gave away that something more was going on.
"What?"
"It's nothing." Tried to say without laughing.
"Bullshit! What changed?"
"I'll tell you but you have to keep it quiet."
"I feel like I'm in high school again."
Kim laughed. "I know, but I'm serious."
"I won't tell anyone."
"I told Bobby that I'd actually try dating him. I just don't want everyone to know incase it doesn't go very well."
"Wait, if you wanted to date Bobby, why did you screw Bosco?"
Kim shrugged. "He was there?"
"You really are something else, you know that?"
"So I've been told."
"You really are okay with Jimmy and me?"
"I'm happy for you, both of you, really."
Alex smiled. "And he's not that bad in bed."
"Oh, I know he's not, why do you think I went back for a while there?"
Alex laughed. "What's Bobby like?"
Kim sighed, just thinking about their one night together. "He's amazing. You shouldn't have let him slip through your fingers without finding out for yourself."
"Not only did I not want to lead him on, cause he's a great guy. I had a feeling that he was in love with someone else, and I just didn't feel right when I was with him. You know how you can feel sometimes that a guy wants to be with someone else?"
Kim nodded. "Yeah, I know what you mean."
"So why didn't you try anything more with him before?"
"Because he told me he loved me."
"So you ran off?" Alex asked, confused.
"We had slept together once at that point. I didn't take into consideration everything we've been through as friends, it terrified me."
"That's true. So what changed?"
Kim shrugged. "I don't know, I knew I had to get along with my life after Jimmy. Then last night with Bosco, I just felt empty. So I thought about it, and I decided that I wanted to at least give Bobby a real chance."
"That makes sense to me."
Kim nodded, glad that their fight seemed to have blown over now. She knew she had over reacted to the whole thing, but it had hurt that Alex had not told her about the truth face to face.
She was fine with people sleeping with whomever they pleased, but if it's someone's ex you should give them the heads up. Just like she had just done for Alex, even though Bobby was hers first, and Alex and Bobby had been far from serious.
"Kim, do you have any advise for me with Jimmy?" Alex asked.
Kim shrugged, and replied, "the only thing I can say is that you're not going to change him. Jimmy is Jimmy and you have to accept him the way he is."
Alex smiled. "Thanks."
Alex hadn't been expecting the truth to be that harsh. She was a little surprised by what Kim had just told her. She wondered if Kim may still be just a little bit jealous that Jimmy was with her now.
"I'm sorry I don't have something nicer to say, but I've been trying to change him for a while, it doesn't work. Short of putting him in cage and keeping him in your basement you're not gonna keep him to yourself, exclusively."
Kim knew Jimmy well enough to know that would never change, and not to get your hopes up that he may. She had tried so many times to get him to change, and it never worked. Jimmy just liked to play, and he didn't like anything serious. Kim had been fine with that for a long while but had started to want more.
That was part of the reason she had decided to give Bobby a real chance too. She finally accepted what Jimmy was and she vowed not to be one of those women who sat around and let life pass her by while she waited for "her" man to calm down. She just needed to move on and see what could happen if she gave someone who actually did care about her a chance.
Alex laughed. "I understand. I guess I'll just have fun while it lasts then."
Kim smiled. "Yeah something like that."
"Is he really that bad?"
Kim nodded. "Alex while we were married and he slept with my sister. He's still technically married now, and he's with you."
"It's not like his wife wants to see him."
"I understand that, but you can't expect water from a rock, you know?"
Alex nodded, she was about to say something else when the fire bell sounded. She had to go get ready. She was glad that she had been able to have her chat with Kim.
Kim followed right behind when she heard a call for a bus, and knew that Doc and Carlos were still on a run.
