Spring Break Starts NOW
I woke up and went to sit up when I felt a heavy object holding me down. I looked over to see Kim sleeping soundly. I adjusted my eyes to the light and looked around. I squinted and could just make out Jerry and Grace. Jerry saw me awake and walked over.
"Eddie, Kelsey, Julie, and Milton left to see their parents and we're leaving in a few hours to Grace's beach house." I nodded and slipped my hand out from under Kim. I stood up stretched. I grabbed my luggage and threw my clothes in while Grace did the same for Jerry.
"What about Kim?" I asked. Jerry shrugged.
"We packed already" Grace whispered. "As for her waking up, that's another story." I laughed and felt a soft pillow hit the back of my head. I looked over and saw Kim grab my covers and slip under it. "She's a weird sleeper" Grace commenting. I remember Kim crying in her sleep and obviously she kisses in her sleep as well.
I zipped up my bag and sat down facing Kim. I slowly pulled down the covers and brushed her hair out of her face.
"Kiss her" Jerry whispered.
"What?"
"To wake her up" He whispered. I rolled my eyes.
"I'm not going to kiss her." I assured. "I wonder if we could make her talk." Jerry ran over and we leaned into Kim's face.
"Kimberly" Jerry whispered.
"Don't call me that" She growled. I looked at Jerry and we high fived.
"What do you think of Jerry?" Jerry whispered. She turned and swung her hand up in the air and smacked Jerry right in the cheek.
"He's an idiot" I laughed as Jerry rubbed his cheek and glared at me.
"What do you think of Jack?" He whispered smirking at me. She moved around.
"Guys, she's not an Ouija board." Grace yelled while zipping up Jerry's bag. We looked at her then back at Kim to see her eyes wide open and a florescent yellow. We jumped out of her way and Jerry tumbled backwards. Kim blinked and was back to her normal shade of brown.
"What the hell was that?" I yelled, pointing. Kim laughed and climbed out of my bed. She stretched and grabbed her bag. She walked into the bathroom with her nose plugged and came out with baby blue shorts and a white top. "Seriously, what was that?"
"You've seen my eyes change colors before" She simply said.
"Not like that!" I complained. She shrugged and patted my chest.
Hours later we waited in front of the fountain for Kim and Grace. Grace came trudging out with a suitcase and Jerry ran to help her. I waited for Kim but she never came out.
"Kim should be here by now…" Grace said approaching me. "I bet she's at the car." We walked over and Kim stood playing on her phone, leaning against the passenger seat.
"It's quicker" She shrugged and opened her door. Jerry and I put the luggage in the back and hopped in after them.
"I'm so excited!" Jerry yelled. Grace smiled at him and screamed. Kim watched as the houses pasted through the window. She had her sunglasses perched on her straight blonde hair and her hands shook with excitement. I patted her knee and she looked over smiling at me.
"I can't wait!" She said, jumping in her seat. I laughed and drove off. Grace gave me directions and we an hour later came face to face with a white house on the beach. I parked and Grace and Jerry jumped out. I looked over and saw Kim sound asleep. I rolled my eyes and jumped out and walked over to her side. I unbuckled her and slide a hand under her knees and under her arms. I picked her up and followed Grace inside the house. I awed in amazement but kept a tight grip on Kim. Her hands wrapped around my neck and her head feel on my shoulder. "I… can't…stop… feelings…" She mumbled. I smiled as she rubbed her head in the crock of my neck.
"How many rooms are there?" I whispered to Grace. She turned and scratched her ear nervously.
"About that…" She rocked on the heels of her feet.
"Grace?" She looked around and bites her lip. "How many beds are there?" She sighed and held up two fingers. I glare at her and grab her luggage and rolled it upstairs. I followed as she dropped Kim's into a room and Jerry dropped off mine. "Thanks" I whisper over my shoulder. He nods and leans in closer to me.
"It won't be terrible! I mean, she is Kimberly Crawford." He raised his eyebrows up and down.
"Don't call me that" A voice came from my side. I looked over and saw Kim sound asleep.
"She hears everything." Jerry whispered.
"I heard that" Kim mumbled. I laughed and pushed Jerry out of the room.
"Have fun" He said with a wink and doing his little swag walk into the room across the hall. I laid Kim down on one side of the bed and rolled our luggage to the closets.
"Jack… Jack… Jack…" I heard. I looked around and saw Kim sleeping soundly. I walked over and leaned across my side of the bed and leaned my ear into her lips to hear her repeating my name.
"Kim?" I whisper. She stopped moving and froze.
"Jack, I have to tell you something." She whispered. I leaned in closer when her whole body bolted up and looked around. "Where are we? Are me and you sharing a room? AND A BED?" I sighed and laid her back down on the bed. "Déjà vu" She whispered. It was hard to hear but I still heard her and smirked.
"Is this what happened in your dream, Kim?" I flicked my legs over the other side of her hovered above her. "Was I onto of you like this?" I leaned down. "Was I making you scream like… this?" I said, tickling her sides. She pushed me off and flipped us over. "Oh so you were on top?" She laughed as I raised my eyes brows at her.
She got off and walked to her luggage. I watched as she unpacked and opened the door to leave when I stopped her.
"Where are you going?" I asked. She looked at me suspiciously and rolled her eyes.
"To check out the house" I followed her down the stairs and out the back door. I awed in amazement at the small pool and hot tub. Kim grabbed my hand and pulled me down a path. We entered a long private beach and Kim flicked off her shoes and ran around on the sand. I laughed and followed her. "I LOVE THE BEACH!" Kim screamed as the sun began to set. I laughed and sat down next to her as she plopped down onto the sand. I laughed as we watched the sun set. There were screams of joy and soon two bodies landed on the sand next to me. I looked over to see Grace and Jerry smiling at the sky.
"It's so beautiful" Grace whispered, leaning her head on Jerry's shoulder. Jerry kissed her head. They seemed like they were in their own little world. It was the cutest thing I've ever seen Jerry do. I looked to see Kim lying on the sand with her hands under her head. She saw me looking and smiled. I chuckled and lay down next to her and stared at the swirly orange and pink sky.
"I wonder sometimes" I whispered. Kim plopped up on one elbow and gave me a questioning look. "I wonder if this is all real. How the moods change so quickly, how the days go by so fast," I looked at Kim and smiled. "How you can change your feelings for someone so quickly." She sighed and lay back down.
"Yeah, change…" I turned to her and looked at the side of her face as she looked in deep thought. "Have you ever felt so completely out of your mind that you question your reality and your dreams?" I nodded as she turned to face me. "Like there are people you don't want to care about but do."
"Yeah" I murmured. The night sky turned gray and Kim pulled herself. I followed and noticed Grace and Jerry had already left. We walked back into the house in silence. I was still in thought about what Kim said. She wished she didn't care but she does? Could that be me? I mean, we hated each other until… I don't even remember when my feeling for Kim came. They kind of just came without me knowing. It wasn't forced, it was just… the things about her are just amazing when I finally got to know and understand her.
"So what's for dinner?" Jerry asked, clapping his hands and looking hungrily at everyone.
"We can order pizza and tomorrow we can go out and get food." Grace shrugged and everyone nodded along to her idea. Jerry ran to his phone and dialed. "Who are you calling?" Grace asked, with her hands on her hips.
"My uncle owns a pizza place!" Grace laughed and ran down to sit next to him. "Hey, it's Jerry. Can I get 3 pizzas?" Jerry talked into the phone.
"Why so many?" Kim asked. Jerry rolled his eyes and pointed at me. The girls looked over at me and I shrugged.
"I'm a teenage werewolf. What do you expect?" They laughed and Kim walked over and sat on the couch with Grace and Jerry. Jerry hung up the phone and smiled.
"Now what to do for the next half an hour?" Grace tapped her chin and Kim sighed. "How bout…" Grace's hand reached behind her and she smirked at Jerry. "THIS" She flung the pillow at her and he glared before tackling her onto the couch. I snuck up behind the couch where Kim sat and grabbed a pillow. I was about to hit her when she turned and grabbed my wrist. I looked from her to my wrist and back to her to see a smirk appeared on her face. She grabbed another fluffy pillow and hit me on the side of the face. She let go of my wrist and ran. I heard footsteps go up the stairs so I ran and saw her trying to climb the stairs as she laughed. I ran up and grabbed her waist. I flopped her down on the carpet of the upstairs in between our room, the bathroom, and Jerry's room. She laughed as I hovered over her, examining her face as she laughed.
"The pizzas… woo!" I looked over my shoulder and saw Jerry at the bottom of the steps. He crossed his arms and smirked at us.
"Jerry what are you doing?" Grace came into view and I felt Kim's small hands pushed me off of her. I awkwardly scratched the back of my neck as Kim stood up. She fixed her shorts that rode up and walked down the stairs. I stood up next and followed her. We passed Jerry's shocked face and Grace's 'I knew it' expression. Kim ran to the stacked pizza boxes and took a regular cheese piece. I grabbed my box and headed to the living room where Kim and Grace sat talking. Kim had her arms crossed her arms and was looking around while Grace's hands flew around and she ranted on. I sat down and dug into my pizza with many toppings. Grace looked at me and smiled before ending her rant and eating.
We watched TV for a while until we finished eating and decide to hit the hay. We all stood up, well except for Kim because she begged Grace to throw it away, and threw our trash away. Jerry and Grace dragged themselves upstairs and fell asleep. I was about to go upstairs when I heard my name called. I walked into the living room to see Kim with her hands out begging. I rolled my eyes and walked over to her.
"What do you want?" I asked, crossing my arms and shadowing above her. She puffed out her bottom lip and gave me puppy dog eyes.
"Carry me?" I sighed as she wrapped her arms around neck and legs around my waist.
"I can't believe I'm doing this." I mumbled, trying to walk up the stairs without falling. She chuckled and held me tighter. I held her waist as I got to the top of the stairs. I pushed open the door with my foot and walked in. I shut it, as I could already hear Jerry snoring from over here, and gently laid Kim down on the bed. She flopped to the middle of the bed and I rolled my eyes. I walked to the other side and slide in while pushing her over. She just flopped back next to me and groaned. "Kim," I complained. Her hand raised and her pointer finger brushed her lips. I laughed as she cuddled into my chest.
