Kim's POV
This date is going so well! So far in the last hour I've learned that Jack's favorite food is pizza, his favorite artist is B.o.b, his favorite non-alcoholic drink was lemonade, he prefers blonds over brunettes (blush!), His favorite movie is Taladega Nights: The Ballad Of Ricky Bobby, he'd rather have a dog over a cat, and he considers his best quality is everything about him. (That answer was sarcastic).
The waiter returns with our food, setting Jack's steak and my shrimp in front of each of us. I smile and thank our waiter. With a nod of his head, he was gone. After one bite, it was official, this place couldn't get any better.
"What's the place called again?" After swallowing, Jack responded. "Lanette's." I smile. It was such an elegant name, which was fitting, because this place screamed elegance and class. I take a sip of my wine, trying to think of something to ask him. "So how did you and Jerry meet? He's your best friend right?" Jack smiled in a way that told me this was going to be a long story.
"Well, we were in kindergarten, and we were both on the playground. A bunch of preschoolers came around, trying to hang with us kindergartners. We told them no so they start throwing dirt as us. Well, I threw a rock at one, so I got taken to the principal's office. I was waiting to talk to the principal when a teacher dragged Jerry in and sat him next to me. I asked him what he did and apparently Jerry had stood up for me and had slapped one of the snotty-nosed preschoolers and had got caught by the teacher. I had said 'Nice, man,' and he grinned, and we've been hanging ever since."
"So basically you two bonded over terrorizing kindergartners?"
He smiled amusingly. "Yeah, basically. So how did you and Grace meet?"
"Well, it was actually in Preschool. We were both in the Coloring Corner, My favorite color was purple and hers was pink, but we had both lost crayons in our favorite colors, so we switched and we were inseparable ever since."
"So you two bonded over coloring Hello Kitty pictures?"
"Actually it was My Little Pony, thank you very much!"
"Because that makes so much of a difference!" I roll my eyes, officially giving up. "Do you like your food, Princess?" I nodded and smiled mischievously. "Yeah, I do. How about you, Frog?" He pretended to be mad at me for that. "Well doesn't the Frog turn into a Prince after the Princess kisses him?"
"Yeah. But you're not that lucky." He pouted then pushed out his lips, standing up over the table. "Pucker up, Princess." I squealed and pushed him back into his seat.
I took another sip of my wine. I was far from drunk, but I felt a little bit woozy. Jack had taken about two sips of his wine. After all, he still had to drive us home. I poured myself more wine and then glanced over at Jack's plate. "That steak does look good."
Jack finished his bite of steak and then asked if I wanted some. "Yeah, sure. You can try some of my shrimp if you want." He nodded, cutting up a piece and put it on a fork. I did the same and we reached over the table and fed each other at the same time. "Mmmm!" We both exclaimed.
After that we just sat in a comfortable silence, staring at each other lovingly. "You know what, Frog?"
"What?"
"For a guy who's never had a girlfriend, you sure are good at this." He smiled happily. "You too. I don't consider Brody at 'real' boyfriend. After all, he did cheat on you."
"What? How do you know that?" I demand. He looked away sheepishly. "I kind of followed you the day you went to Brody's house."
"What? Why?" He stammered for a minute. "Answer me, Jack." I sighed. "I honestly don't know Kim. I really don't. Something just told me to go." I calmed a little bit, still kind of creeped out.
"Don't think I'm some kind of stalker or something, I honestly don't know. I guess I thought I'd irritate you. I never imagined that that would happen." I search for more food with my fork but the light pink plate was empty. So was Jack's so my hope of more steak was extinguished. Soon the check arrived and I was actually kind of sad that we had to go back home, but at the same time I couldn't wait to go home and tell Grace how well our date had gone.
Yo yo yo! Okay, that was lame, I'm never doing that ever again. First, I would like to say I love you guys for all the awesome reviews! And I also want to thank you for being patient with me when it comes to updating because I'm usually pretty busy. Oh, and if your a fan of any of my other stories (Wasabi Girls, Kickin' It At PCA, The Demigod Rebellion, which is a Percy Jackson and The Olympians fanfic) I've updated them as well and it literally took me all day! But I thought of all the people who wanted me to update and then I was motivated, because I love you guys. :)
