A/N Well, this chapter is even shorter than the last so whatever. In case you are wondering, right now I am working on chapter 17. That means by the time this whole story is over, there will most likely be more than 20 chapters, maybe more than 25 or 30. I am still not sure where I want to story to end.


While we were at Phil's I was so tired I hardly noticed myself fall asleep. When I woke up I was on Jack's shoulder.

"Are you awake?" He shook me slightly.

"Yeah I'm awake," I said sitting up. The guys looked at me funny and all stood up. Jack scooted out of the bench so I could get out. Still a little tired, I staggered trying to get up.

"Careful Kimmy," Jack said. I immediately thought of earlier, and now Frank and stepped back.

"Sorry!" He whispered.

"What was that about?" Eddie asked.

"What do you mean?" I said hoping no one had noticed.

"When Jack said, 'Careful Kimmy' you stepped back and looked really scared for a second." Eddie replied. He stared me down for a second and I thought for an excuse, but nothing came to mind.

"Let's just get our stuff and head home!" Jack intervened.

Thankful, I grabbed my bag and started to walk out of the dojo. Jack ran out after me.

"Kim, I think you should stay at my house tonight. You're really tired and we still don't know anything about those guys from earlier," Jack told me.

"I don't know," I said. It might be kind of awkward to sleep at Jack's house. I've done it before, but that was with all the other guys, and Grace and Mika and Donna.

"You can stay in the guest room if you want," he suggested.

"Okay," I agreed.

We walked home and I leaned on Jack for support. When we got to Jack's house he unlocked the door and showed me the room.

"If you want you can have a pair of my old shorts and a t-shirt for bed. That way you won't have to go home until the morning after you're fully rested. There is a bathroom right across the hall if you want to shower also," Jack explained.

"Okay. Thanks, Jackie," I said.

He came out of his room and into the guest room. I was looking around and when I turned back around I bumped into Jack. He grabbed my waist to keep me from falling. For a moment we stared into each other's eyes.

Boy was he cute. Before I knew what I was even doing, I stood on my toes and kissed Jack. After a second I stepped back and ran into the bathroom. I just KISSED Jack! I thought, closing my eyes, remembering that wonderful moment.
