Kim's POV

I wake up the next morning before my alarm even goes off. Slowly opening my eyes, I'm met with a slowly moving chest. Looking up further, I see Jack's sleeping face. 'He looks so peaceful,' I think while unconsciously memorizing his sleeping features.

Having him this close, with his arms around me, I start thinking about all of the things that happened yesterday, and I am still in a slight disbelieving state that I really get to call this amazing guy mine.

I reach up and gently move some hair out of his eyes, resting my hand on his cheek afterwards. I feel him stir slightly under my touch, and watch as his eyelids gently flutter open and his eyes meet my gaze.

"Goodmorning, Handsome." I say with a small smile.

"Morning, Beautiful." He replies huskily with a small smile of his own.

I reach up and gently peck his lips.

"Not that I'm complaining or anything," Jack states with a smile, "But what was that for?"

I chuckle slightly and lace my hands around his neck before replying, "You look so cute in the morning, I just couldn't resist."

His hold on my waist tightens slightly as he pulls me flush against him before saying, "Well, then I guess I better return the favor, because I must say that I am quite enjoying the sight in front of me."

With that, he meets my lips with his for a slow kiss; to which I pull away from a little while later.

"Based on that kiss, I must be looking drop-dead gorgeous right about now." I whisper with a smirk across my lips.

I feel Jack's chest rumble as he chuckles lightly and says, "You have no idea," before proceeding to kiss me again.

Our little session is abruptly cut short by my alarm clock going off right by our heads.

"Well I guess that means we really do have to get up and go to school today." Jack says with a sigh while reaching over to turn off the evil noise making machine.

I let out a sigh myself before whining, "Do we have to?"

Jack laughs lightly before saying, "As much as I really don't want to, I'm afraid that we do."

With that said, he slowly gets out of bed.

I lie there watching him, having absolutely no motivation whatsoever to get out of bed and start the day.

"Are you just going to lay there all day?" Jack asks while in the middle of stretching.

"Well, I am quite enjoying the view from here right about now." I say while looking at him as his shirt rides up and shows off a small portion of his abs.

Jack smirked and grabbed a pillow from the bed, "Oh Really?"

"Mhmmm," I say nodding.

Jack throws the pillow at me while saying, "Well, as much as I appreciate that, you still have to get up."

"Ugh!" I groan loudly, "Fine!"

I grudgingly make my way out of bed and into my bathroom.

I hear Jack laughing as he leaves my room and goes into his to get ready.

I turn on the shower and strip out of my clothing while it heats to just the right temperature.

I step in and immediately sigh from the warm sensation running down my back. I grab the shampoo and finish out the rest of my shower.

After a generous amount of time, I step out and wrap a towel around myself.

I set about my normal routine, moisturize, blow dry, curl, make-up, etc. After finishing up, I go back into my room and search through my closet for something to wear.

I end up choosing a pair of white skinny jeans, a floral print, off shoulder blouse, and my favorite pair of wedges. I add a pair of pearl earrings, and a charm bracelet that Jack gave me for my birthday last year. I attempt to put on my locket; however, I can't get the stupid latch to work correctly.

I hear a chuckle from my doorway and turn to see Jack leaning there, arms crossed, with an amused look on his face.

"Need Help?"

I give him a playful glare before answering, "Yes, Please."

Jack smiles and comes over to fasten the locket correctly around my neck.

He pulls my hair out from under the chain before wrapping his arms around my waist and resting his chin on my shoulder.

He meets my eyes in the mirror and says, "You look beautiful today, Kimmy."

I turn in his hold and peer up at him before replying, "Thank you. You're not looking too bad yourself, Handsome."

I take in his appearance. He's wearing a pair of black skinny jeans, Vans, a navy v-neck, and the leather jacket that I bought him for Christmas.

"Hey," Jack says, "Isn't that the charm bracelet that I gave you?"

"Yeah," I reply before asking, "Isn't that the leather jacket that I got for you?"

"It is," he says before chuckling and adding, "I guess we are both very good at giving gifts."

"That we are," I agree before wrapping my arms around his neck.

"I may have another gift to give you," Jack smirks, while placing his hands on my hips.

"Really? What a coincidence. I have one for you, as well."

We both laugh lightly as our lips meet, exchanging our presents that we had for one another.

Jack pulls back slightly and says, "We are really good at gift giving."

I laugh and mumble a "yeah" while connecting our lips once again.

Suddenly a knock sounds at my door and I hear a "Kim-" that is quickly cut off as both Jack and I jump apart.

My mom stares wide-eyed with her mouth hanging wide open.

"Umm…-" I start out before I'm cut off.

My mom turns around before running down the stairs and yelling, "Chuck! It finally happened! You owe me 20 Bucks! KICK has finally prevailed!"

With a look of pure disbelief on both of our faces, Jack and I turn to one another.

"Well…" Jack starts, "On the bright side, I don't think that we're in trouble."

I laugh, "No, I don't think so."

We both make our way downstairs and into the kitchen.

"Kim, Jack," my dad says immediately as we walk into the room, with an upset look set upon his features, "You're in trouble."

Jack and I both stop mid-step and utter a completely confused, "What?"

"You heard me," he starts, "I am very disappointed in the two you… You weren't supposed to get together until next week! Who gets together on the last week of school, anyways, and not the first week of summer?"

"Uh…"

"Now, Grace, Jerry, Rudy, and I owe Milton, Julie, Phil, and you mother $20. That's just not even right."

"Wait," Jack says, "You guys bet on us?"

"Yeah," my mom says excitedly with a grin on her face while talking on the phone, "And I WON!" She then speaks into the phone and says, "You hear that, Grace? I WON!"

Jack and I just stand there, wide-eyed, mouth agape, and speechless, while we gather together our thoughts. After a few minutes, we turn to each other.

"Not exactly what I pictured happening…" I say.

Jack shakes his head before agreeing, "Yeah, I know EXACTLY what you mean."

The couple both grab an apple and their bags.

"Well," I start, "We're uh… going to go, and leave you two to your um… whatever it is that you're doing."

I heard two byes, a mumbled one and a super cheerful one, while closing the door.

"Well," Jack says while we're walking to my car, "I'm not really sure what to say about THAT…"

"Me either," I say and hand him the car keys, as he opens the passenger door for me.

"Thanks." I say, getting in, putting my bag in the back, and buckling my seatbelt.

"You're very welcome, Kimmy." Jack says, and then walks around to the driver's side.

Jack gets in, puts his bag by mine, buckles, and starts the car.

As we back out of the driveway and start off toward school, I start on my apple and hand Jack his.

"Thanks," Jack states while taking a bite of his apple.

"You're very welcome, Jackie." I smirk while he gives me a mock-glare.

I laugh and we continue on to school in a relative silence while we finish up our breakfast.

…..

We got to school and Jack parked in my usual spot.

Jack turned to me and asked, "Do you think anyone else made bets on us?"

I roll my eyes and reply, "You know, I wouldn't be surprised if the whole school placed bets on us."

Jack chuckles and replies, "Honestly, I wouldn't either"

Jack gets our bags and comes over to open my door.

I grin and take his outstretched hand, "Am I ever going to have to open another door myself, again?"

"Not on my watch," Jack says with a wink, bringing my hand to his smirking lips and planting a gently kiss on it.

I remove my hand from his and wrap both of mine around his neck; his moving to circle my waist.

"You know, I think I could get used to this no door opening thing. It's a lot less work for me. You know what that means?"

"What?"

"It means I have a lot of extra energy, and I think I figured out just what I could do with that energy." I say while leaning in closer to him.

"Oh yeah? What did you have in mind?"

I lean in until our lips are only an inch apart and whisper, "Extra practice at the dojo."

I lean back and laugh at the scowl on Jack's face.

"Kiiimmmyyy…" Jack whines while pulling me back to him, "That wasn't very nice."

I contain my laughter and arch an eyebrow before saying, "You don't like my idea?" Jack shakes his head and I smirk before adding, "You have any better ones?"

Jack has a mischievous smirk playing at his lips as he pulls me closer and says, "I think I might."

With that, he connects our lips in a passionate kiss. I slip my hands into his hair as his hold on my waist tightens. His soft, warm lips on mine are all that I can think about…That is, until I remember that we're standing in the middle of a school parking lot.

Slowly, I pull away… even though I really don't want too.

"Even though I really do not want to stop this, we are in the middle of the parking lot, so…"

Jack buries his face in my neck before muttering, "I wish we weren't."

I laugh and say, "So do I," as Jack lifts his head and gives me another peck on the lips.

"We shall continue this later, Kimmy."

"Is that a promise?"

He grins at me before whispering in my ear, "You bet it is."

A chill runs down my spine at his breath and I can practically feel the smirk playing on his lips. He picks up our bags and laces our hands together as we make our way toward the entrance doors of the school.

…..

We made our way, hand in hand, to our lockers. All the while, we're watching as everyone exchanged money with one another. It turns out that the whole school really did bet on us.

"I can't believe that they actually made bets on us." Jack says while opening his locker.

"I know," I answer while opening mine, "It looks like EVERYONE made a bet. Pathetic." I mumble.

Jack chuckles and closes his locker as I close mine.

I look around and notice everyone looking at us, some with smiles, and others… not so much. I guess I know who won and who lost. Honestly though, I'm not really enjoying having all of these judging stares on me…

"Kim."

I look back over at Jack to see him gazing right into my eyes with seriousness.

"Yeah?"

He takes my hands and looks me in the eyes while saying, "Don't let all of the stares get to you."

I open my mouth to deny this, but he puts a finger to my lips; Thus stopping any further words from escaping.

Jack moves his finger and says, "Don't deny it. I saw the look in your eyes as you were looking around at everyone."

I sigh, knowing that I can't lie to him. I look down at out entwined hands and say, "I just don't like having EVERYONE's eyes on me like this."

I feel a gentle touch on my chin, and slowly my head is lifted up to meet the two chocolate orbs that I love so much.

"Kim, don't worry about them. They're going to think whatever they want, but don't let that affect you. It shouldn't matter what they think. In fact, who cares? All that matters is that I love you, Kim. Who cares what any of them think?"

I hug Jack tightly, burying my face in his chest, and I can feel him stroking my hair. I stay there for a few minutes, composing myself, before pulling back slightly to look up into his eyes.

"Thank you, Jack. I really needed to hear that."

He smiles down at me before replying, "Anytime, Princess."

Smirking slightly, I ask, "Princess, huh? What happened to Kimmy?"

Jack kisses my forehead and replies, "Oh, trust me, I didn't forget about that. You're my Princess Kimmy. Don't pretend like you don't love it."

"Oh, I love it." I laugh.

I lean up and connect my lips with is for a small kiss.

"I love you, Kim. So much." He whispers against my lips.

"I love you too, Jack." I say and give him one last kiss before pulling away.

Jack picks up my bag and we make our way to math class.

…..

I walk into the lunchroom to find Jack already at our usual spot. I walk over and sit next to him.

He looks up and smiles at me, "Hey Kimmy."

"Hi Jackie."

Jack frowns at that and says, "I don't like that name."

"And? You get to call me Kimmy, so don't you think that I should get to call you Jackie?" I say with the most innocent face that I can make.

"How am I supposed to say no when you use those adorable puppy eyes on me?"

I smile and take his hand in mine, "I was hoping that you would say that."

Jack rolls his eyes as the rest of our friends come and join the two of us at the table.

"So," Grace begins as soon as she sits down, "You guys better be really dating, or else I am calling your mom and demanding my money back."

I laugh and hold up mine and Jack's hands for the whole table to see, "Oh, no need to do that. We are."

Grace squeals and throws her arms around me, "Finally! I am so happy for you two! Even if I did lose the bet."

"Same here, yo." Jerry says, "I'm broke now."

Milton and Julie also congratulate us, but not without adding that they actually won the bet.

"Thanks, Guys." Jack says.

A chorus of "Your Welcomes" and an "I'm still broke, yo" is heard around the table. Everyone laughs before launching into about something that I'm not even paying attention to, as my eyes are on the brown-haired beauty next to me. (Not Grace)

Jack's POV

The gang is having a conversation about something; however, I have no idea what it is. My full attention is on the gorgeous blonde-haired goddess next to me.

"Jack?" Kim says while still holding my gaze.

"Hmmm?"

"What should we do later?"

I think for a moment before replying with a smile, "Do you want to go on our first date?"

Kim grins and says, "Yeah, that would be great. Where are we going to go?"

"How about dinner at that new place that just opened downtown?"

"That sounds good to me."

"Does 7 sound good to you, as well?" I ask with an amused smirk.

Kim rolls her eyes before replying, "Yeah, it does."

I chuckle and give her a peck on the lips before we both turn to finish our lunch before the bell rings.

…..

I'm sitting in my last class of the day when I feel my phone buzz. I pull it out and read a text from Rudy:

'No Practice Today. Something came up. Trust me, you do NOT want to know.'

I slide my phone back into my pocket and shake my head. When it comes to Rudy, I probably don't really want to know."

"Yo, Jack." I hear from the Latino next to me.

"Yeah, Jerry?"

"You get the text from Rudy?" I nod and he continues, "Wonder what came up?"

I shrug and reply, "Who knows? This is Rudy that we're talking about."

"I'm going to find out what it is."

"Yeah, you do that, Jerry." I say as the bell rings and I walk out of the door and to my locker.

When I get there, Kim is still at her locker and her back is turned to me. I smirk and quietly sneak my way right behind her. Now, I just-"

"Don't even think about it, Brewer."

"What? How you could you have possibly known that I was there?" I ask with a fake pout and crossed arms.

Kim turns to me as she closes her locker and leans back on it while crossing her arms, "Oh, I'm just that good, Brewer… and I have a mirror in my locker. I could see you behind me."

"Awww, Kimmy, no fair." I say while putting my arms around her waist and leaning my forehead against hers.

"Who said life was fair?" she says while moving her hands to rest on the back of my neck, but still keeping a smirk playing at her lips.

"Touché," I say before meeting her smirking lips with my own.

I pull back after a few moments and say, "Well, I think that was pretty fair."

I hear her giggle slightly before she pulls me back in for another chaste kiss.

I reach down and pick up her bag, then clasp her hand, entwining her fingers with mine as we make our way toward her car.

We get to her car and I open the driver's side door for her, then I go around to the passenger's side. Getting in, I put both of our bags in the back before buckling up and turning to see Kim looking right at me with a serious expression.

"What?"

"You know that you don't have to carry my bag, right? I'm perfectly capable of carrying it myself."

I take her hand in mine while replying, "I know you are, Princess, but I don't do it because I have to, I do it because I want to." With that being said, I bring her hand to my lips and plant a soft kiss upon her knuckles, my eyes never leaving hers in the process.

She smiles and I can see a faint blush on her cheeks as she whispers an, "Okay," before turning and starting the car. We start to make our way to her house.

Kim's POV

As I'm driving home, I keep replaying what Jack said to me, "I know you are, Princess, but I don't do it because I have to, I do it because I want to." He really is one of the most sweetest guys that I have ever known, and I feel so lucky to be able to call him mine.

I pull into my driveway and turn off the car. Unbuckling my seatbelt, I turn to Jack.

"So, Jackie." I say and lean in closer to him while putting my arms around his neck.

He smiles at me and mimics, "So, Kimmy."

"I'm excited for our first date tonight."

"So am I. I even have something special planned after dinner."

"Really?" I say excitedly, "What is it?"

"That is for me to know and for you to find out, my dear Kimmy." Jack says with a smirk on his face.

"What? No Fair!" I whine.

"Who says life is fair?" Jack says, mimicking my earlier words.

"That's not funny." I say with a fake pout on my lips.

Jack chuckles and leans about an inch away from me, "I think it is."

He leans in, connecting our lips, before I can reply back.

The kiss only lasts a few seconds, but it still feels like electricity is coursing through me.

Jack pulls away, but keeps his hands resting on my waist.

"Kimmy."

"Jackie."

"Guess what," Jack says with a smirk to his lips.

"What?" I ask hesitantly while tilting my head to the side.

"My latest Instagram photo hit 1,000 likes. I'm sure that you remember it, don't you? It features a certain blonde and a whole lot of paint."

My face paled slightly, before being covered with a smirk itself.

"Oh really? Is that so? Well, you know my post of a certain brunette with a unique paint-covered expression also has quite a few likes… Maybe even more than yours."

I could see his smirk falter slightly. This only caused my own to grow even more.

"Aw, not what my Jackie was expecting to hear?"

A scowl comes onto Jack's features as he answers "No."

I laugh at his behavior and lean forward to peck his lips.

"You're cute when you're upset."

This only makes his frown deepen. I can't help but burst out laughing at his expression. My laughter is evidently so contagious that even Jack breaks his mask with a small smile, himself.

I sober up enough to lean forward and give him a small kiss before pulling back and saying, "I love you."

Jack's face softens at this and he returns the favor with a kiss of his own before replying, "I love you, too."

I smile softly at this before saying, "Now, I'm tired, as someone wouldn't let me sleep in this morning. So, I think that I'm going to go in and take a nap before our date tonight."

Jack chuckles at the mention of our morning antics and replies, "You and I both know that you had to get up today."

I mumble a, "Doesn't mean I'm not still blaming you," before turning and exiting the car.

I hear Jack's laughter as he gets our bags and walks with me to my front porch. Once there, Jack hands me my bag.

"What? I actually get to carry my own bag?" I ask with fake shock, while taking my bag from Jack.

Jack rolls his eyes while saying, "You know that you love that extra energy."

I smile and reach up to give him a small kiss. "Oh, I definitely do. Thank You."

He wraps his arms around my waist as mine move to rest on the back of his neck.

"You're welcome, Princess. Anything to make sure that you don't fall over from exhaustion… Kind of like you did on the couch last night."

I laugh slightly at the memory before saying, "Yeah, but then someone wouldn't have had the great honor of carrying me to bed," I winked before adding, "You know you loved it."

Jack snorted before replying with a sarcastic, "Totally."

We both laughed before leaning in for a kiss.

We both pull away after a few moments and rest our foreheads upon one another.

"I'll see you later, Jackie." I say, removing my hands and slightly stepping back from our embrace.

Jack picks up his bag and says, "Bye Kimmy. I'll see you later." He walks down the steps, before reaching the bottom one and turning back around.

"Oh, and Princess?"

"Yes?"

"Wear something hot," Jack says with his signature smirk and a wink before turning back and heading over to his house.

I roll my eyes and shake my head while turning and opening the front door to my own house. Oh sweet bed, here I come.
