Despite the monumental change in Kim and Jack's relationship, on the outside they appeared the same with only added kissing. The first time the rest of Wasabis saw them lip-lock, Milton raised his eyes heavenward and mouthed Thank you God, while Jerry wolf-whistled. Rudy took Jack to the his office for a talk and Jack emerged from it beet red and muttering about TMI.
Their friends in school shrugged the news off as the long time coming and went on about their lives like nothing has changed. There was some murmurs from girls about Kim snagging a popular and somewhat famous boy, while some guys were simply happy that Jack was no longer in a competition with them. Even the hardest of critics could not deny that Kick was simply inevitable. Jack had just marveled at this own worry-wart nature that had him imagining the horrors of public dating. So far everything was good and he was kind of grateful that those pictures with Ricky forced the situation, because he was happily in a relationship with Kim.
It was glorious. Jack cursed himself out again again for being an idiot and staying away from her on his own volition. All the times he physically stopped himself from touching her like he wanted to: hold her hands, circle her waist, grab her hip to pull her close, to run the finger down her neck, to follow the path of his finger with his lips. All of this he was now free to do and it. was. awesome.
What he did not account for is the level of physical desire that mired him at all times. It was like some sort of craven monster that got awoken and he was battling the need to be physically close to Kim. Everything about her was calling to him and he was at times helpless to resist. As if he already wasn't slightly crazy about this girl, he now had a new reason to long for her. And she was just as passionate about him. Already they had to stop kissing in the school parking lot as it lead to one of the more memorable make-outs sessions in his memory.
It started as usual with a kiss that progressed quickly and at some point he pulled her into his lap over the center console. When Kim was straddling him his hands catalogued all the dips and rivets of her body above him, slender and tiny but strong and soft, her lips like candied apples, sweet and red, her hair fell around them like a curtain and he forgot the world around them. She touched his chest and shoulders, moved her hands to his hair pulling on long strands and, when he groaned at the sensation, she dropped her mouth to his neck. His right hand dropped to her waist and he slowly dragged his fingers under her top and her skin was the softest of silks. He could feel the goosebumps that formed where he touched and he smirked, because he did that. His smirk faded quickly when she bit lightly at the juncture of his neck and shoulder and desire rushed through him so fast like a flame eating the thinnest of the paper. He breathed harshly and pleaded quietly, "Kim, please..." He was not sure what he was begging for, but one way or another it had to stop. Kim heard his plea - and probably felt his problem - and fairly threw herself off his lap and hit her head on the back view mirror in her scramble to get off him. She was blushing fire engine red and was breathing deeply to calm herself.
"We can't do that in the parking lots," she whispered and Jack could only chuckle in agreement.
His dreams turned more erotic now that he knew how Kim's kisses tasted and how she felt when he hugged and touched her curves, and in his dreams they didn't stop.
He and Kim traveled for his auditions for the new show that he was supposed to headline. The setup was fairly simple: the main protagonist was a troubled teen, who finds focus and passion in martial arts, but his past catches up with him and he is besieged by the conflict between his past associates and the new friends. He liked the concept and absolutely loved the notion of using his considerable martial arts skills in the new project. The project was still in planning stage and his auditions were more of a conversation with producers and writers. The rest of the time was spent exploring LA with Kim and enjoying their new relationship and all the things it meant.
There was a blurb on one of sites that focused on the entertainment industry gossips and he was mentioned as a possible lead in a young adult oriented project. The piece rehashed the known facts about Jack and posted a candid picture of him leaving the studio with Kim in tow. The piece did not mention Kim other than to state that he was with 'a friend.' They were holding hands and looking at each while walking. There was a soft smile on Jack's face as he looked down at Kim. All you could see was her profile as she turned her head up to him, smiling widely. Both of them though looked impossibly in love. There were a few comments under the blurb speculating that she was his girlfriend, but it was his fans who ran with the pictures and conjectures. Some even figured that she must be the black belt that Jack was friends with.
Still most of the attention was removed from Jack and Kim's everyday life and they existed in the bubble of normalcy that was their home and school life.
The only thing that bothered Jack was the unknown hater, who continued to bug him on his social media and phone. Milton did a good job scrubbing everything to get rid of too personal of details, but this particular guy already had Jack's phone number the messages kept oncoming. They now promised some vague retribution for something that Jack presumably did to this guy. Milton was good at the clean up, but not quite as good at tracing the hater. Not willing to be a worry-wart again, Jack promised himself to seek help only if this guy made an overt threat to him or his loved ones.
There was no more news about the 'mystery blonde' and the topic was deemed too old and and uninteresting to be widely discussed. Ricky made several appearances at the clubs, surrounded by a large entourage and it was impossible to determine whether there was anyone in particular that he was with. Most people assumed that he was back to his partying ways and only a few still held on to the notion of a secret romance and attribute this current behavior to the cover-up efforts.
This particular camp got an unexpected additional clue from Ricky himself. He made an appearance at a charity event, where he surprised the audience and sang a new, previously unheard of, song with acoustic guitar. The song, though not officially named, was dubbed In My Dreams. It was a departure from his usual peppy sound. It was somber and haunting, lyrics talking about a love lost long ago. The refrain of the song with words "in my dreams you're always near, your words of love are on your lips, you won't let go of my spirits and, you come, you come and you haunt me." The event was live-blogged and many fans in the audience were twitting live. The video for the performance was set on the website of the charity group and it veritably crushed the site.
It set the internet of fire. Twitter was blowing up with praise, and admiration. Everyone agreed that it was one of the better of Ricky's appearances and the song was so beautiful it quickly reached over million views and counting. People were curious about the song: was it a cover; was it original; who wrote it; was it Ricky himself; if so, who was the inspiration for the lyrics, etc.
Soon enough Ricky's team confirmed that the song was written by Ricky himself and that it was not part of the upcoming album. Apparently, Ricky was reluctant to put in on the album as it was "a bit personal." The speculations reached a fevered pitch. Who was the inspiration became the trending topic.

Ricky Weaver proves his songwriting chops
By now you all have heard the song and saw the video. While it is not a professional studio single, the song became an overnight hit and Ricky should include it on his next album. The Twitter and his fans a losing their minds over the amazing song, which Ricky wrote himself. The sound is such a departure from his typical fare that we have to wonder: Has he always been this good and just had to work with a generic sound and lyrics? Because this song is good. Very good. It is a well constructed love ballad and Ricky's showcases his vocal range with a particularly high note in the end that has us shivering with goosebumps. And if that was not enough, the lyrics would leave you wistful, sad and a little bit in love with him. Internet seems to agree and fans are posting their reactions to the song.
Leah1989: omg, this song. I want to be the girl in his dreams. it made me think of my first love. feels.
And this is not an unusual reaction. Most of us here, too, were reminiscing about love lost, or never have been, the ones that got away, the ones we chased in vain. Some think that his most recent girlfriend inspired this song, but we believe that like us, Ricky was thinking about someone unattainable or long gone when he wrote this. Could it be the girl he asked out in LA? We don't know. It seems to fit. She knew him before and turned him down because she thought he has not changed. But maybe, after hearing this song, she would reconsider? One thing is for sure, Ricky has grown up and his music did too.
