I am so sorry for not updating! I have been so busy lately and I didn't have time! I may not be able to update tomorrow either. I guess it'll depend on the amount of reviews I get. Anyways, enjoy the chapter! (Ps. This chapter continues from last chapter).

Previously:

He pulled away again. This time, he wasn't smiling. His face was serious. "Kim." He started.

"Yeah?" I asked, anxious to hear what he had to say.

"Kim. I want you to know that I lo-"

BOOM!

I jumped and screamed.

Jack started laughing. "Kim, it's just thunder!" He laughed.

I laughed at how ridiculous I must've looked.

"Come on. Lets go inside and dry off. No ones home." I said.

He put his arm around my shoulder and we walked back to the house in complete bliss.

Kim Pov

Jack and I walked into the house, dripping wet. I ran to the laundry room and grabbed two clean towels. When I got back, I realized Jack was gone.

"Jack?" I called while searching the house for him.

I checked the kitchen, all of the bedrooms and bathrooms, and the dining room. I was just about to turn a corner when-

"BOO!" Jack yelled as he jumped out from behind a wall.

I screamed so loud you would probably be able to hear it in China.

I hated when people scared me.

"Jack!" I said while hitting him on the arm. "You know I hate when people scare me!" I said while giving him another hit.

By now he was laughing- at my scream and my overreaction. I started laughing along with him.

"I'm sorry Kimberly." He said.

"Don't call me that. I hate that name." I said sourly.

"Aw come on Kim, I'm just kidding." He said while wrapping me in a hug from behind. He gave me a quick kiss on the cheek.

I slipped away from his grip. "No, now you've upset me. You scared me then called me by the name I hate. I don't think I can forgive you." I teased.

I turned around and started walking away. He grabbed my wrist and turned me towards him.

"Please?" He said softly while giving me the cutest puppy dog face ever.

I tried to keep my act going but it was no use. His puppy dog face was just too cute to stay mad at.

"Fine." I said.

He smiled and I involuntary smiled back. Curse his cuteness.

"You're so cute Kimberly." He said.

I narrowed my eyes at him and he rolled his eyes. "Sorry- Kim." He said.

"Better. Now take your stupid towel." I said and threw the towel at him. He caught it.

"So bitter, Kim." He joked.

"Shut up." I said and we laughed together.

This is the way I liked things. Jack and I laughing and joking around without a care in the world. I always had to act of high class in front of Milton, but with Jack I could be my goofy self.

We hung out for hours that day. We talked and laughed and tried to get out kinds off of the wedding.

"Kim I'm bored." He wined as he plopped down on the couch.

I raised an eyebrow at him and stood in front of him. "So I'm boring?" I teased.

"Of course not." He said sweetly. He grabbed my hand and pulled me on the couch next to him. I snuggled closer to him and leaned my head on his chest. He wrapped his arms around me. We sat there peacefully for a few minutes.

He grabbed my hand and we entwined our fingers. He gave me a kiss on my forehead.

I heard him sigh. "Jack, is something wrong?" I asked, concerned.

He seemed reluctant to speak at first, but then he finally spoke. "It's- it's nothing, really."

I turned around to face him. "Jack, if something's wrong you should tell me." I told him.

He seemed reluctant to speak but eventually did. "Kim, are you still planning on marrying Milton?" He asked.

I sighed and buried my face in my hands. I didn't want to talk about this. I hated the idea of marrying Milton, but I hated the idea of my parents being devastated for not marrying Milton.

"I- I don't know." I confessed. I looked up and stated and into his gorgeous brown eyes.

He sighed. "Well if you do marry Milton, what will happen to us?" He asked glumly while grabbing my hand an holding it.

My head was spinning. I didn't know the answers to any of his questions. I don't know what I'm planning on doing. My mind wants me to marry Milton but my heart wants me to be with Jack.

"I don't know, Jack." I confessed.

He ran his hand through his hair and nodded understandably.

"I was just thinking of taking it one day at a time. Maybe if we told our parents about us they wouldn't really mind." I said.

He chuckled a bit. "Do you really think so?" He asked, knowing they wouldn't be okay with the idea.

I smiled a bit. "No." I admitted. "I guess that's not the best idea.

"We can't be together if I marry Milton, but my parents would be furious if I backed out of the wedding." I said.

"What's so bad about them being mad? They'll get over it." He said with irritation in his voice.

"Jack, my parents are spending more money than you can imagine on this wedding. Practically everyone in the entire town is invited. They've already spent thousands of dollars. I can't have them waste all of their time and money like that." I said.

Again, he nodded understandably.

"I guess we'll just take it a day a a time." He said.

I nodded and snuggled back into his chest. He wrapped his arms around me."

"Your hair smells like strawberries." Jack said.

I felt my cheeks starting to turn red. I laughed. "You're so weird Jack. But thank you."

He gave me a kiss on the head. We laid there for a few minutes, just enjoying each others company and I started to feel drowsy. I made myself more comfortable and snuggled closer to Jack. I slowly drifted off to sleep.

Jack Pov

We laid there for a few minutes and I realized Kim had fallen asleep. She looked so peaceful- and beautiful.

I started playing with her hair. It smelled so good. I ran my fingers through her hair and I saw her smile in her sleep.

She's so cute. I thought to myself.

I laid there for a few minutes and eventually started feeling drowsy. I pulled Kim closer to me. After a few minutes, I fell asleep.

Kim Pov

I woke up to someone banging on the front door. They were shaking the doorknob and knocking repeatedly.

Kimberly!" I heard my mother say. "Open the door! I forgot my key and I'm locked out"

I panicked. I was currently laying next to Jack while my mother banged on the front door.

"Just a second!" I yelled back at her.

"Jack." I whispered as a shook him repeatedly.

"Huh?" He asked, obviously confused.

"Jack, my mother is at the front door! We need to hide you!" I explained.

I pulled him off the couch and led him to the coat closet.

"Just stay in here until I can get her to leave the room. Then I'll sneak you out." I said.

I quickly pushed him in the closet and shut the door. I ran to the front door and opened it.

"Its about time!" My mother said irritably.

"Sorry mother." I said. "So how was the meeting with the wedding planner?" I asked.

"Oh it was great! We talked about-"

"Hold on mom. Why don't you get some tea and we'll sit down and talk." I said.

"Okay!" She said and walked into the kitchen.

I ran to the coat closet and opened it.

"Come on Jack, you have to leave!" I said as I grabbed him. He had a scared expression on his face and pointed behind me.

My mother.

"I just came in here to ask you where the teapot set was." she told me. "Jack, I didn't know you were here."

I was dead. How in the world could I get myself out of this?

"Jack came over because um- you see- I was bored and-"

"Kim texted me and said she was home alone and she was bored. Milton was out with our parents today, so I decided to come hang out with her." Jack interrupted.

My mother shot daggers at Jack. "Very well." She said. "Kimberly, go get the tea pot set. I'll show Jack out." She said.

I gulped and ran to the kitchen.

Jack Pov

I watched Kim as she ran to the kitchen. Her mother just stood there and stated at me, not saying a word.

She finally spoke. "You know Jack, I don't like the idea of you playing with Kim's emotions. Her wedding day is set and she is getting married. I see the way you look at her and I don't like it one bit." she said.

We stood there in an awkward silence until she spoke again. "Jack, I don't want you seeing my daughter anymore."

My stomach dropped. What? Not see Kim? Never! I need to see her- I love her!

Wait-did I just say I love Kim?

That's right! I love Kim Crawford! I'd never have the guts to tell her though. How do I know if she loves me back?

Kim's mother just stared at me. I was angry. She couldn't make me stay away from Kim! My blood felt like it was boiling.

"She doesn't love him!" I blurted out.

Her glare at me intensified.

"It's time for you to go Jack." She said as she opened the front door.

I walked out of the Crawford house, furious.
