Kim's point of view; chapter 2

Today has been seriously fucked up. My emotions were all over the place but I strangely felt okay. The weird thing was I still felt a pull tugging me somewhere. I had no idea where it came from but it was the one I felt when Jared looked into my eyes. I thought I was hallucinating but it was still here hours later.

I picked up my two younger brothers who were twins and my younger sister up from school. I also got my youngest sister who was at my aunt' house. Yeah my parents loved having children. Lucky me I was the oldest and wouldn't have to live in the crazy house much longer.

Speaking of crazy I kept seeing Jared everywhere I went today. Every time I thought I saw him I would glance away then look back and he would be gone. Maybe I was a crazy obsessed girl; I wanted him to stalk me. What the hell is wrong with me? Anyway I took all my siblings to go grocery shopping since my parents were working tonight.

I was trying to reach the boys cereal which was at the top shelf. I am five foot six and I couldn't reach it. I saw a hand graze past mine and grab the box. I turned around and saw Jared.
"I thought you could use some help." He grinned handing me the box. I was focused on his smile but I was brought back to reality when I heard the twins playing tag in the isle.

"Thanks! Mark, Matt stop and I'll get you cookies!" I yelled at them in an inside voice still.

"You're going to give them more sugar? And are these kids all yours?" He smiled.

"They are sleeping over a friend's house so it doesn't affect me tonight. And they aren't mine; I mean they are mine, just not mine. They aren't my kids. I mean…" I rambled trying to calm myself.

"I get what you mean. So you have a lot of siblings?" He laughed looking at me adoringly.

"Yeah I guess so. Twins are ten, Matt and Mark and this is my sister Sophie." I said suggesting to the girl hiding behind my leg shyly.
"Hey Sophie, how old are you?" Jared asked sweetly bending down to her. She held up three fingers.

"You're three? That's so cool!" He exclaimed in an amusing voice. He held out his hand to her as a high five. She hesitated and looked up at me. She clapped her hand to his and peeked away behind my leg smiling.

Okay so he's hot, funny, popular and good with kids? And I told him to leave me the fuck alone? I am stupid.

"Yeah she's shy." I laughed as he stood upright looking at me. I was looking at him but also looking at my siblings at the same time.

"I wonder where she gets that from." He smiled suggestively. I didn't have a comeback to that because he was right. I was shy too.

"It's okay though I like shy girls better than loud girls." He winked.

"Oh really. Since when?" I flirted. Yes I actually was flirting back.

"Since now." Jared said completely serious. He was so genuine and sincere. I wondered where this Jared was when he was with his friends. At first I was blushing hard then I got mad. He was nice to me in private but treated me like a joke in public.

"I got to go. See you at school." I said hastily. I rounded up the boys and put Sophie in the other part of the cart. Jared frowned and I felt the hurt through the bond again.

"Kim wait I know you're still upset with me. Please I can feel you're angry. Just let me explain." He begged.

"I have to go now. Bye Jared." I said without glancing back at him. I put the groceries and siblings in the car and drove away, the dumb bond was yelling at me to go back. I ignored it and dropped the boys at their friend's house, and I dropped Sophie at my aunt's house. I then went home and unloaded the groceries. My parents had a fancy dinner to go to so I was alone tonight.

I took a shower and let me hair air dry into light curls. I wore black shorts that clung to my ass and were extremely short and a red tank top. I curled up on my bed with vanilla ice cream and watched television thankful that it was Friday. As I was starting to drift into sleep I heard a knock at my door.

Okay so I have a glass door that leads into a little patio for me near my window. It was where I usually draw but I always kept it locked even though it was on the second story and impossible for someone to enter my room through it. Or at least I thought it was. I got up highly alarmed and went to my door.

I saw Jared standing there with no shirt on outside.

"Jared what the fuck are you doing here? You know it is cold out right?" I asked astonished as I opened the door.

"Will you let me in so I can explain all of this?" He asked standing there like it was no big deal. I let him in and shut the door. I waited for him to answer my questions.

"Okay first I have high body temperature so I'm not cold. I went on a run so I didn't need a shirt. And while I was on my run I was in the neighborhood and stopped by to talk to you. I figured you couldn't run away from me if you were in your own house." He smiled as he explained.

"I don't run away from you." I said stubbornly. He laughed.

"Are you serious? Every time I have tried to talk to you or explain or even apologize for what happened at school you leave. I don't get it." He said amused.

"You know what I don't get? How you can be such a jerk and treat me as a joke around your friends or in public then be a gentlemen and sincere and real whenever there no one around. You can't be both people. I don't get how you pretend either way, hanging out with douche bags like Paul then trying to be all charming." I snapped getting flustered and mad.

"Paul has a hard life and I know he's a douche but he's my best friend Kim. We are like brothers. You're getting yourself upset just calm down." He said placing me down gently on the bed.
"See now you are caring. I don't get it." I whispered.

"Kim I never meant to hurt or embarrass you. I'm done with those people and the shady girls. I didn't know that many people were paying attention to our conversation or that it would embarrass you that much. I'm not talking to you because I lost a bet or as a dare or as a joke. I swear it's not because any of those things. This isn't a joke to me; you are not a joke to me. I don't know why it took me so long to realize this but I really like you." He said softly yet strongly. I just nodded unable to speak with a million thoughts going through my head.

"So do you forgive me?" He asked hopefully. I nodded and he hugged me. I melted into his arms. His arms were so strong but gentle. It felt so comforting and right, like our body's just fit together perfectly. I pulled away from the hug slowly. The bond was pulling me but it felt calm when he was around.

"What are you wearing?" Jared asked with hungry black eyes.

"Oh sorry." I blushed trying to cover myself up. He caught my hands.

"You look stunning." He said seductively.

"If this is a trick to try to get me to have sex with you, you can forget it and leave." I said sharply.

"What! No that's not what I meant! I would never use you like that!" He growled but was mortified. I was beyond embarrassed too. We stood there in silence for a long time.

"You want to stay and watch TV for a while you can." I suggested. He nodded and I got on the bed and placed the blanket on top of me. I gave him permission to lie on the bed. He saw the ice cream and looked at me with adorable begging eyes. We shared the ice cream for a while but I gave him the rest. He ate it so quickly it was amazing. I was freezing from the ice cream and started shivering.

"Is this better?" He asked as he put an arm around me. I put my body more against his to get warm. The shivering began to stop. I melted into his arms.

"Why are you so warm?" I asked stupidly.

"It's a hereditary thing." He laughed.

I was drifting off to sleep as I felt him lace our fingers together. I fell asleep in the real Jared's arms.
