What should've happened after "Kickin' it on your own"
Jack's POV
YES WE WON OUR TOURNAMENT YESTERDAY! I'm still so hyped! I was walking to the dojo and I saw Kim and..
Brett.
Her new boyfriend. I wish I told her how I felt, but it was too late anyway. Well, we're still friends, and I can't help but eavesdrop on her conversation. I hope she doesn't catch me.
"So anyway Brett," I heard Kim say. "I hope you understand, it's not working. I still have feelings for someone else." She said what now? Oh, it's me. I know it. Brett walked away, and I walked toward Kim with a smug smirk on my face. She turned around, surprised.
"JACK! I was just- uhhh... you weren't supposed to hear that," Kim groaned. I smiled, "I don't know, I'm kinda glad I did." Kim looked at me confused. I went on, taking a risk.
"Uh, instead of going for practice, wanna go grab some pizza?" There. I said it. I asked her out.
"We're going to blow off practice just so we can have a..." she started. I smiled and finished off her sentence,"A date."
I held my breath to see how she would react. She bit her lip and we walked off together around the mall. IT'S A YES! YES!
Kim's POV
I'm on a date with Jackson Brewer. Oh my god. I've dreamt of this moment. That's why I broke up with Brett, but I think he knows, considering he probably heard all of it. Whatever, we're on a date. We're walking around the mall, and he's telling me about this new guitar he got.
"It's really cool, and I can't wait to start playing it in public," he told me. I smiled.
"Oh, that's really cool. I wanna hear you play," I said.
"Yeah, but I haven't played in so long. Especially.." he faded off.
"What's wrong?" I asked, concerned.
"Nothing," he said quickly. "Do you play guitar?"
"Yeah, a little," I blushed. "I haven't played in a while too."
"Really?" he asked. He took my hand and took me somewhere.
"Jack, what are you doing?" I asked. We got to his house. "Uh, why are we here?"
"I wanna show you something," he answered. We went inside his house and into his room. He took out his guitar. It was the most amazing guitar I've ever seen. It was silver and was shining under the light. The strings were grey, and Jack's name was engraved on the back.
"Whoa," I breathed. "It's incredible. It must've cost you a fortune."
"Yeah, but whatever," he said.
"Play something," I directed him. "I wanna hear you."
"Well, I-"
"Jack, please," I made a puppy dog look. He gave in, "Fine."
He played a few chords and I recognized it. He started to sing a little. He had an amazing voice.
I can feel ya coming from a mile away
My pulse starts racing from the words that you say
and you say so many of them like you don't have a clue
that I'm signed, sealed, delivered with a stamp on.
I sang along with him. I love this song. He looked at me wide-eyed, but kept playing, with a smile on his face.
You don't have to try too hard.
You already have my heart.
You don't got a thing to lose,
I'm already into you.
So
Hold, hold, hold, hold me tight now.
Cuz I'm so, so good to go.
Don't say, don't say good night you know
You had me at hello
We stopped. I looked at him, he looked at me. And we leaned in. We were an inch away. Again.
Until.
"Jack!" Someone downstairs called. We jerked away. We were an inch away. AGAIN!
"Coming," Jack said.
Jack's POV
STUPID JESSICA. WHY DID SHE HAVE TO INTERRUPT ME AND KIM? WE WERE JUST ABOUT TO KISS. I WOULD FINALLY BE ABLE TO TELL HER HOW I FEEL.
"Um, Jack. I'm gonna go. It's getting late, and my mom wants me home early today," Kim told me.
"Yeah, okay. Sure. See you tomorrow," I answered. I gave her a hug, and she left.
"Hey Jackie," Jessica said to me.
"You suck, Jess," I told her.
"What? What did I do?" she asked me innocently. I rolled my eyes.
"YOU
INTERRUPTED ME AND MY DREAM GIRL, YA DUMBASS," I blurted. I covered my mouth. "Oh my god, Jess, I didn't mean that, you know I didn't."
My older sister looked at me sadly, "I know you didn't, Jack. It's just love. I feel that way a lot. It's fine."
"Thanks," I told her, and I gave her a hug.
"Well, do you want to tell me about Kim?" she prompted. I laughed, and I told her about the day we had today. It was the best day I ever had. Kim and I had our first official date, but I still didn't tell her how I feel just yet.
"I don't know if I should," I told her honestly. "I really like her, and she broke up with her boyfriend, possibly for me, but I don't know. What if she doesn't feel the same way? It might ruin everything. Our friendship, our dojo, everything."
"Jack, Kim wouldn't have said yes today if she didn't like you. She wouldn't have came with you to your house, or sing with you, or hug you back, or offer to skip class with you," Jessica said.
"Well she is my best friend," I told her. "But you're probably right. Thanks."
"No problem Jack. That's what siblings are for. Giving you advice, and ruining your life." She winked at me, then left for her room. I smiled. I will tell Kim how I feel.
Kim's POV
My phone rang and I looked at the caller ID. I just got home from Jack's house, and he was calling me. SCORE!
"Hey Jack. I just got home." (The italisised is Jack)
"Oh cool, anyway I need to talk to you."
"Sure what's up?"
"Today was fun"
"Yeah... it was. Thanks by the way. For playing your guitar for me. You were good."
"Really? Um thanks. You were too."
"Thanks, singing is my life. I love it."
"You're really good at it too."
"You just said that, genius."
"I know, I know. Well anyway, I need to talk to you."
"Ok, shoot."
"Um, so about today. It was fun... really fun. And, I think that we should do it again."
"Yeah, that'd be fun.. Is that what you wanted to talk about?"
"Uh yeah, but no."
"Jack, I'm confused."
"Sorry, but what I meant was.."
"Jack, you can tell me anything. Isn't that what best friends are for?"
"Well I don't want to be best friends anymore."
"Uh, come again?"
"Kim, I really like you, and I'm sorry if this ruins our friendship or anything, but the thing is, I've liked you from the start, and when Brett came in your life, I was kinda sad. And you broke up with him, and we had a great time today, I just thought... maybe it was time for me to tell you the truth. Kim, you're amazing."
"... Wow, Jack. I don't know what to say except.. I think you're amazing too. Oh, hold on the doorbell's ringing."
I opened the door to see.
Jack.
At my doorstep.
Smiling at me.
We both hung up our phones and he kissed me. When we broke free, he took one look at me and said, "So I'll take that as a yes?"
"Yes to what?" I asked.
"To being my girlfriend," he told me. "Duh."
"Ok first, you're an asswhole," I said. "Cuz you just assumed that. And second, YESSS!"
I gave him a peck on the cheek and took his hand.
