Kim went upstairs to get. She saw that Jimmy was doing the same thing. She looked around to make sure that no one else was up here to here what they would be talking about.
"Can we talk?" Kim asked Jimmy. She moved to stand in front of him.
"What about?" Jimmy asked. He looked at Kim. He could tell that it couldn't be anything good.
"About us. I don't think that we should do this anymore. I think that us trying to be together again was a bad idea. I knew that we wouldn't be able to do it. But I just wanted to give you another chance. I really had changed. But I was wrong," Kim said. She saw the confused look on Jimmy;s face. He wasn't actually going to deny the fact that he cheated on her when she told him she knew, was he? That would just piss her off.
"What are you talking about? We've been doing good together. If we don't work out it's on you. You're the one that's so anxious to break things off between us. You were the one that wanted us to be together. We all know you can't get over me," Jimmy said and smiled. Kim was probably just nervous. She wouldn't really leave him. She couldn't. Not unless she knew about him cheating on her. But she couldn't know. There was no one he knew at the bar that night and he broke things off with Kallie. So it wasn't like he was still cheating on her.
"You can't blame this all on me. I know that you were cheating on me with some blond that you met at a bar. Bosco was there that night and saw you two. And I just though that you would like to know that I'm seeing Bosco now and that since you cheated on me, we were seeing each other while we were still together," Kim replied. She saw how shocked Jimmy looked than he actually looked hurt. Who was he trying to fool? Cause he sure as hell couldn't fool her anymore.
"You were seeing Bosco. You were mad at me for cheating on you for one night and then you tell me that you were seeing Bosco while we were together and I'm supposed to be the bad one here. I don't think so. Maybe you should learn to stay in one bad at a time," Jimmy yelled. He couldn't believe that Kim was seeing Bosco. How could she do that? When he saw Bosco he was going to kill him. He had no right messing with his girl. Jimmy looked at Kim. He could tell that she was pissed.
"You cheated on me. And I didn't find out from you. I had to find out from my friend. So you can't say anything about what I did. You were the one that had to go and sleep with someone else while you were with me. I was tired of it. And it's not like I was with Bosco that long before today. You were the one who screwed things up again," Kim yelled back. She hated how Jimmy tried to make what he did not look bad.
"Fine be with Bosco. I don't want to be with a slut anyway. It's fine with me if he has no problem sharing you with the city," Jimmy replied smirking. Kim slapped him hard. She couldn't believe that he would say that.
"You have no room to talk. You've already slept with everyone in the city," Kim replied and went back downstairs. She didn't feel like fighting anymore. She saw everyone staring at her when she came back downstairs. Alex followed her outside.
"What was all of that about? We could hear the whole thing," Alex said.
"Jimmy cheated on me and Bosco told me, so I started seeing Bosco and Jimmy's trying to make everything out to be my fault," Kim replied.
"And this all happened when? Because you and Jimmy looked happy togetehr yesterday," Alex said.
"Because I was trying to figure out when and how to tell him. And I didn't get to tell him this morning so I had to tell him here," Kim said. Things went worse than she thought they would. She knew Jimmy would be pissed, but he had no right to say some of the things he had said to her.
"You know he's probably going to try and kill Bosco when he sees him," Alex said.
"I know. But Bosco will be able to beat Jimmy. We all know that," Kim said.
"Yeah. But Jimmy is a good fighter. You never know with them two," Alex replied. She looked across the street and noticed that Bosco was coming.
"Can you go inside. I want to talk to Bosco alone," Kim said. She watched Alex go inside.
"Are you okay?" Bosco asked Kim. He could tell that something was bothering her.
"I told Jimmy about us upstairs. It didn't go well. You can pretty much count on everyone knowing about us because Jimmy yelled that I was seeing you," Kim replied. She walked closer to Bosco. She was glad he was here. She just hoped that Jimmy didn't come out here and see Bosco.
"So you guys got into a fight. Isn't that normal?" Bosco asked.
"He called me a slut and said I need to start staying in one bed at a time," Kim replied. Bosco pulled Kim into his arms and kissed the top of her head. He didn't know who the hell Jimmy thought he was to say that to her. He was the one who cheated on her. When he saw Jimmy he was going to hurt him.
"You know that's not true. Jimmy was just mad that you were leaving him," Bosco said. Kim looked up at him. Bosco was so sweet and he always made her feel so much better.
"What did I do to deserve you?" Kim asked. She leaned in and kissed Bosco. They both pulled away when they heard someone yelling. Then they saw Jimmy come out.
"I need to talk to Kim. So why don't you run across the street and leave us alone," Jimmy said. He couldn't believe that Kim would have Bosco here and kiss him when she just told him about them. But he also knew that he was out of line with what he said to her. He couldn't believe that he called her a slut.
"I don't feel like talking to you Jimmy," Kim replied. What could Jimmy want to talk to her about now?
"I'm not here to yell at you or anything. Just let me talk to you, then I'll leave you alone," Jimmy said.
"You have a minute," Kim replied.
"I'm sorry about earlier. I said some things that I shouldn't have. I was just mad that you were leaving me for Bosco of all people. But I also can't blame you. You were right. I screwed up. I was the one that cheated on you, so I can't be mad at you for seeing Bosco," Jimmy said. He should have never reacted the way he did upstairs. He knew he pissed her off. Kim was silent. She didn't really know what to say. She couldn't believe that Jimmy was actually apologizing. This wasn't like him. He had changed a little. But not where it counted. He still hurt her when he promised not to. But she didn't want to lose him all together. They could still be friends. It would just take a while. She watched Jimmy walk back inside.
"That was interesting. And here I thought I was going to kill him," Bosco said. He saw Kim smile. He loved it when she smiled.
"Thank you for not getting in the middle of this and not killing Jimmy. Even though everyone knows you want to. I just can't believe that he actually apologized," Kim replied. She looked inside and looked at Jimmy. She knew that she had hurt him. But he had hurt her to. She just hated how messy everything between them was.
"Well he should apologize. He had no right to say that to you and he knew it," Bosco said. He kissed Kim before leaving. He had to get back to work before Faith got mad at him. She told him not to be too long. She said that she needed to talk to him about something. It sounded important.
"Be careful," Kim said and she saw Bosco smile. She couldn't wait to see him again tonight. She still couldn't believe that she was with Bosco. But he wasn't what she thought he was. He was different when he was with her and when he was at work. After Bosco was gone, Kim went back inside and sat down next to Jimmy.
"Thank you," Kim said and smiled at him. She knew it was hard for him not to attack Bosco.
"I may not have hurt him yet, but if he hurts you, I can't guarantee that you won't find his body somewhere," Jimmy said. He saw Kim smile.
"So what, are you my protector now?" Kim asked.
"Yeah. I am," Jimmy replied. He liked this. He liked that she was talking to him. Sure they couldn't be together. But they could at least get along. And he would make sure that Bosco didn't hurt her. She didn't need to get hurt again.
Bosco got back and he saw Faith standing outside. She looked worried about something. He wanted to know what she wanted to talk to him about and why she wouldn't tell him sooner.
"So did Kim tell Jimmy?" Faith asked.
"Yeah, she did. What did you want to tell me?" Bosco asked.
"I'm going to be taking some time off. I'm going on vacation with Fred. I just want to spend some time with my family you know. I don't get to see them that much," Faith replied. She was going to tell Bosco the truth. But she just couldn't. She didn't want to tell him unless she knew for sure that she had cancer. She didn't want to worry him for nothing.
"When are you leaving?" Bosco asked. It was a good idea for Faith to get away. She seemed out of ti this past week. Maybe longer. He didn't notice it until this week though. He was worried about her. Maybe she was just had a cold or something. And she always talked about taking some time off to spend with her family. Now seemed like the perfect time for her to do that.
"Tomorrow. I'll be at work tomorrow, but I'm leaving after work," Faith said. She was surprised that Bosco wasn't mad about her not telling him earlier. He really was a good friend. Even though sometimes he did the stupidest things and she usually had to clean up his mistakes. But she knew he would do the same for her.
"Well have fun," Bosco said. They stood out there talking for a few more hours until they got a call. Faith knew she should have told Bosco the truth. But she couldn't. And he didn't need to know unless she had cancer. Which she probably wouldn't. So he wouldn't have to find out that she lied to him. That's the one things Bosco hated. When people he trusted lied to him. She just hoped that if she did tell him, that he would understand and that he wouldn't be mad at her. She looked over at Bosco. He seemed to be thinking about something.
Bosco looked up at Faith. She looked guilty. Like she did something wrong. He knew that she had to be hiding something. But what? He was probably just paranoid. He was a little tired, so maybe he was just imagining it. He hoped he was. But ne knew that Faith wouldn't lie to him. She was a good person. She's never lied to him before. And what did she have to lie to him about? He knew if it was something serious than she would tell him. This was Faith. She never kept anything from him, just like he never kept anything from her. They trusted each other.
