So anyways, enjoy!
Kim Pov
I woke up the next morning with a spring in my step. I just had the most amazing night ever with Jack, and my parents never found out! I walked downstairs to find my mother sitting at the table with a cup of coffee and a newspaper.
"Hello mother dear." I said while walking towards the kitchen.
"Hello Kimberly." She said sourly.
"Everything alright?" I asked while peeling a banana.
"No. No Kimberly it's not." She replied. Did she know about me sneaking out with Jack?
"Well what's wrong?" I asked concerned.
She put her cup of coffee on the table and threw the newspaper down. "Kimberly, I don't like the way you've been treating Milton. You've been ignoring him a lot lately." She said angrily.
Was I ignoring Milton? Well, I was spending a lot more time with Jack, but I wouldn't say I was ignoring him.
"I'm sorry mother. I've just been so busy lately. I have a lot on my plate and-"
"I don't want your excuses." She cut me off.
"What I want is for you to start treating Milton with a little more respect. You are marrying him next March which is about..." She counted with her fingers. "11 months away." She finished.
"Mom, did you ever think I didn't want to marry Milton?" I asked her.
She gasped. "You bite your tongue! Milton is perfect! He is rich and can support you when you're married!" She yelled.
"But mother-"
"Not another word. You are to marry Milton next March." She said.
I nodded and stormed upstairs to room. Frustrated with my mother, I flopped on my bed and drifted back to sleep.
"Kim?" I heard my mother say as she knocked on the door.
"Kim sweetie wake up." She said while lightly shaking my shoulder. That reminded me of when Jack woke me up when we were on the dock. I smiled to myself, remembering the memory. Then I remembered the talk my mother and I had about Milton, and I was upset again.
"What mother?" I finally said, tiredly.
"Sweetie I invited Milton's family over. He'll be here in an hour." My mother said.
I looked at the clock. 11:02am.
"Should I wear a sundress?" I asked my mother.
"No, you don't need to dress up. I invited him over so you two could bond some more. Maybe take a walk, watch some movies? Whatever you want to do!" She said.
"Fine." I said shortly.
"Kim, remember our talk from earlier." My mother reminded me.
"Don't worry mom, I won't ignore Milton." I said glumly.
"Good." She said and walked out.
I decided to get up and start getting ready. I put on a pair of dark blue skinny jeans and searched through my closet for a shirt. I threw on a white tank top and a pink cardigan. I walked into the bathroom to straighten my hair. For the finishing touch, I added mascara and lip gloss.
It was 11:30 by the time I was ready, so I decided to make some pancakes. I sat down at the table and ate, waiting for the Brewers' arrival.
Ding dong.
"I'll get it mother!" I said while putting my dirty dish in the sink.
I walked to the door and fixed my hair quickly. I opened it to find Jack and Milton standing there.
"Hello Milton, hello Jack." I said.
Milton gave me a hug, then pulled away to give me a kiss on the lips. I will never get used to that. It is the most disgusting thing ever, kissing that boy.
We pulled away and Milton was smiling like a idiot. I forced myself to smile back. I glanced behind Milton to see Jack standing there, stiff and still. I felt so bad kissing Milton in front of Jack. Even though Jack and I weren't officially an item, I know he cared about me and I cared about him too.
"Come on sweetie." Milton said to me. He walked over to the couch and sat down. He patted the spot next to him. That reminded me of when Jack was sitting on the dock and patted the spot next to him. I smiled at the memory. Milton must have thought I was smiling at him because he smiled back. The whole time Jack was stiff. He sat on the couch adjacent to ours. I walked over to Milton and sat down next to him. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me into his chest. I was not enjoying this. At all.
Just then, my mother walked into the room. She glanced over at me and Milton.
"You two are so cute!" She said happily.
"Milton dear, where are your parents?" She asked.
"Oh they couldn't make it. They had an important meeting to go to." He explained.
"Well that's too bad." She said and walked out.
"So Kimberly, want to watch a movie?" Milton asked me.
"Sure!" I said as happily as I could. But the truth is, I wasn't happy. I wanted to be snuggled up close to Jack with his arms around me; not Milton's.
I got up off the couch and walked to the TV. I rummaged through the piles of movies we had. Hairspray? No. The Hunger Games? No. The Notebook! I opened the case and grabbed the disk. I put the disk in the DVD player and pressed play.
"I'll go make some popcorn." I said and walked into the kitchen.
Jacks Pov
I watched Kim walk to the kitchen to get some popcorn. She was perfect; she had the most beautiful golden hair and she had such big sparkly brown eyes that I always seemed to get lost in. Even her personality was amazing; she wasn't conceited and she never bragged like most rich girls. She was the definition of perfect.
"Jack?" I heard Milton say, snapping me out of my thoughts.
"Huh?" I replied.
"You just zoned out. Is something bothering you?" He asked.
"No I'm fine. I'm gonna see what's taking Kim so long." I said and walked into the kitchen.
I saw Kim standing near the microwave, waiting for the popcorn to finish popping. I took this as the perfect opportunity to sneak over and scare her. I tiptoed over to her. Her back was facing me. I snaked my arms around her waist and yelled.
"Boo!" I yelled. She jumped and turned around.
"Jack! You scared the hell out of me!" She yelled.
"That was the plan." I said and smirked. "So are you having fun with Milton?" I asked.
She sighed. "I guess. He's really sweet. I just don't like him like that." She said sadly and looked down.
I lifted her chin up so her eyes locked with mine. I grabbed her by her waist. Our faces were inches apart.
"You deserve better Kim." I told her. "If you ever need to talk, I'm here."
She smiled. By now, our foreheads were touching. Her eyes flickered down to my lips, then back up to my eyes. I could feel my face getting red. I looked at her lips, then back up to her eyes, indicating I wanted the same thing she did. We both started leaning in, our lips were centimeters apart.
Beep! Beep! Beep! The microwave went off. We both jumped and pulled away from each other. She quickly took the popcorn out of the microwave. There was an awkward silence between us. She poured the popcorn into a bowl and we walked back into the living room, not saying a word.

I can't believe Jack and I almost kissed. The stupid microwave just had to go off! I walked back to the couch and sat with Milton. We watched the movie for a while, then the famous argument scene with Allie and Noah came on.
Noah: "You're bored Allie. You're bored and you know it. You wouldn't be here if you weren't."
Jack looked over at me and our eyes met as Noah said those words. I was bored. I was bored with Milton and even Jack could see that. I looked back at the TV to watch the movie.
Noah: "It's not gonna be easy. It's gonna be really hard. We're gonna have to work at this every day, but I want to do that because I want you."
I looked over at Jack and our eyes met again.
Noah: "I want all of you forever, you and me, everyday. Will you do something for me, please? Picture your life 30 years from now. 40 years from now. What's it look like? If its with him, go. Go! I lost you once, I think I can do it again. If I thought that's what you really wanted. But don't take the easy way out."
My eyes were still locked with Jack's.
Allie: "What easy way? There is no easy way. No matter what I do, somebody gets hurt."
Noah: "Would you stop thinking about what everyone wants? Stop thinking about what I want, what he wants, what your parents want. What do you want? What do you want?"
Allie: "It's not that simple."
Noah: "What... Do... You... Want? What do you want?"
Allie: "I have to go now."
I looked away from Jack and back at the TV. What do I want? I want to be with Jack, not Milton. But that's never going to happen.
The movie ended and I got off the couch to turn the TV off. Milton and Jack's chauffeur was outside waiting for them. I was at the door saying goodbye to both of them.
"Goodbye Milton." I said. He gave me a quick kiss on the lips and walked out the front door.
"Goodbye Jack." I said. He pulled me into a hug and held me close. I felt so safe and secure with him. We both pulled away. He smiled at me and I smiled back.
"Goodbye Kim." He said and walked out the front door.
