~Jacks Pov.~
Jerry and Milton give me a look as I walk in with Kim. "Guys, we're just friends." I tell them after Kim walks away. "Then why do you two always flirt when Claire isn't around?" Milton asks, as soon as her names mentioned who but Claire walks in. "Jackson Andrew Brewer why did you leave me in the car?" She screams. "Hi Claire." I mutter, she walks over to us. "Jackson, you don't love me anymore, do you?" She asks out of the blue. I don't respond. "Fine Jackson, we're through, besides, Brody is way more attractive." And with that, my now ex-girlfriend walks out the door. Jerry looks at me, "Dude, you dated her for five years and then you just let her leave?" I nod. Milton grins, "When are you going to tell Kim?" He asks. "Tell me what?" I hear from behind me. I turn and see Kim, her little black dress hugging her body. "Um..." I trail off. "Claire just dumped Jack!" I hear Jerry chime in. Kim looks at me, "Is he right?" She asks. I nod. "This. Is. The. Best. Birthday. Present. EVER!" She exclaims, laughing, everyone else joins in. As she's laughing I find myself looking at her, I realize why I've loved her since I was 14. She has prettiest hair, with shining hazel eyes, her skin is a flawless creamy white. But that's not all, she's one of he nicest people I had ever met, she had an amazing sense of humor, and she was just an amazing person to be with. Kim was a kindergarten teacher, so she loved kids. She was always talking about her students, saying how smart, or adorable, or or sweet they were. I was a doctor, in the emergency room, I had treated a lot of kids, but I also really loved kids. They were funny and adorable. Kim punches me in the arm, "What?" I ask her. "I asked if you wanted to join me in having my first drink of alcohol. " Grace snorted next to Kim, in response Kim slapped her. "My first legal drink." Kim corrected herself. I smirk, "Sure Kimmy-Cub." Kim narrowed her eyes, "Never call me that again." She said. I laughed and took her hand, walking over to the bar. The waiter looked at us, "How can I help you sir?" He asks me, he then looks at Kim, "Sorry hottie, drinks are only for people over 21." I resist the urge to punch him in the face. Kim looks at me. "Excuse me, I'm over 21, and I doubt you want to call me a 'hottie' in front of my husband." She says, wrapping her arms around me as I put my arms around her waist. The waiter looks at me, "I'm sorry man, I didn't know." I look at him, "Just get us our drinks." I tell him bending down to kiss Kim. I aim for her forehead but she gets on her tiptoes. As our lips touch I feel sparks. The waiter clears his throat. I pull back, grabbing our drinks. Kim keeps one arm around me as we walk back to our friends. They give us a look. "What was that kiss about?" Jerry finally asks. Kim blushes. "The waiter was hitting on me so I said I was married to Jack." Kim says simply. "And I just played along. It's not like it meant anything." I say. Kim's face falls, but she tried to manage a smile. I hand her her drink. "One." I start. "Two." She says, her eyes gleaming. "Three." I finish. "DRINK!" She exclaims. And with that we both drink. Kim finishes, slamming her glass on the table. "Add that to our list of firsts." She whispers to me. I smile. So far we were each other's first kiss, first party, first drink(illegal), first vacation, and without our knowledge, first crush. She wraps her hand through mine. "Go get me another drink." After a few drinks Kim starts to get a little tipsy, so I bring her home. "Bye guys." I whisper, as I pick her up, bridal style. She's asleep as I lay her in the back seat of the Mercedes. Kim wakes up as we pull into her apartment complex. "Brewer?" She whispers as I pick her up. "Yeah Crawford?" "I love you." She mutters burying her face in my shoulder. I kiss her forehead, "I love you too." She pulls away from my shoulder and grins, "Stay here tonight, I don't wanna be alone on my birthday." I nod, brushing her hair out of her face.
