Kim walked into the cafe. She saw that Bosco was all ready there. He was seated at a table in the back corner. She walked over to him and sat down.

"What did you want to talk about?" Kim asked. She saw Bosco look down at his coffee., then back up at her. He looked nervous.

"I've been thinking a lot about that night. I like you Kim. I have for a long time. I was thinking about this last night and I thought that I should tell you," Bosco said. He looked at Kim hopefully. He needed to know how she felt about him.

"Bosco, I'm flattered that you like me. But I'm with Jimmy. I love him and I really think things will work out between us this time," Kim said softly. She saw the hurt disappointed look in his eyes. She felt so bad.

"Are you sure he won't hurt you again? You deserve someone who will love you and not hurt you," Bosco said.

"Of course I'm sure. I wouldn't be with him if I wasn't sure of those things. He said he's changed and I believe him. I know he wouldn't lie to me again," Kim replied. The truth was she wasn't really sure. But she didn't want Bosco to know that.

"Well could we be friends?" Bosco asked. If he couldn't be with her, then he would settle for being friends with her. Plus, it was only a matter of time before Jimmy screwed up again. Jimmy didn't deserve Kim.

"Of course we could be friends. I'd like that a lot," Kim replied. She couldn't believe that Bosco liked her. This was Bosco she was talking about. The guy who slept with anything that walked and never had a relationship last longer than a few hours.

"So, how long have you and Jimmy been back together?" Bosco asked. He saw Kim smile when she heard Jimmy's name. He could see that she was never really over him.

"We just got back together last night. We did a lot of talking and we both wanted to be together," Kim said.

"Well you look happy. That's all that matters," Bosco said. He was happy that Kim was happy. He just hated that it was Jimmy she was happy with.

"I am happy. Well I have to go. It was nice talking to you," Kim said. She stood up and Bosco hugged her.

"I'll see you later," Bosco replied. He watched Kim leave. He wondered why she had to leave so fast. They barely got to talk. He looked at his watch. He decided to go to a bar. He could use a few beers.

Kim saw Jimmy sitting on her porch. He wasn't supposed to be here for another few hours.

"You're here early. Is something wrong?" Kim asked.

"No. I just wanted to see you. I missed you," Jimmy said. He got off of the porch and pulled Kim into his arms. He kissed her softly.

"Do you want to come in?" Kim asked. She pulled her self out of Jimmy's arms and unlocked her door. She didn't feel like standing outside or talking to Jimmy. It was cold anyway.

"No. I have to get home and change. I promised Joey I'd take him to the park," Jimmy said. He wondered why Kim pulled away from him and why she wanted to get into her house so quickly. It was like she was avoiding him and didn't want to be near him. He looked back and saw that Kim was all ready in her house. He knew this had something to do with Bosco. Last night she was all in love with him and now she would barely talk to him. Bosco would definitely be hearing from him. Tomorrow at work he'd let everyone see him beat the hell out of Bosco. He knew he should've forbidden her from talking to Bosco.

Kim sat on her couch and picked up her phone to call her mom. She wanted to know why her mother would let Jimmy take Joey without talking to her about it. That wasn't like her at all. Especially since her mom hated Jimmy and wanted him to have nothing to do with Joey's life.

"Hello," Catherine said when she picked up her phone. She hoped it was Kim telling her that she was on her way to pick up Joey. She was all ready late.

"Hi mom. Why didn't you tell me that Jimmy was going to pick up Joey and take him to the park tonight?" Kim asked.

"Jimmy's not picking up Joey and he's not taking him to the park. What gave you that idea?" Catherine asked. Anything that had to do with Jimmy couldn't be any good. The only times she has ever let Jimmy take Joey was when Kim made her. And Kim always regretted it.

"Jimmy was just over here a few minutes ago. He told me that he was going to take Joey to the park," Kim replied. Why would Jimmy lie to her. Especially when it was something she could easily find out that he was lying about. Now she had to wonder what he was really doing. It must be something he didn't want her to know about otherwise he wouldn't have lied to her.

"Why would Jimmy be at your place?" Catherine asked. She knew that anything that had to do with Jimmy wouldn't be any good.

"I know you're not going to like this, but Jimmy and I got back together last night," Kim said. She heard her mother sigh. She knew that couldn't have been good. That usually meant that she would be getting a lecture on how Jimmy would just hurt her again and screw her over. She has all ready heard that lecture enough times to memorize it. She didn't need to hear it again.

"It looks like he hasn't changed at all. He's all ready lied to you. Who knows what he's really doing?" Catherine said. She wanted to lecture her daughter, but she knew it would just waste her time. Kim never listened when it came to Jimmy.

"Can you keep Joey for the night?" Kim asked. She hoped her mother wouldn't mind.

"Sure. I don't mind. I haven't spent much time with him lately," Catherine said. She hoped she wouldn't regret this. Kim was known to do some stupid things when she was upset. And she knew that Kim would be upset about Jimmy lying to her.

"Thanks," Kim said and hung up on her mother. She sighed and dialed Bosco's cell number not knowing that Bosco had seen something that she needed to know.
