thanks guys, new chapter, hope you like it
Falling to the ground, Jack was surprised when seconds later he felt Kate had falling on top of him, her brown curls covering his chest and their still intertwined hands the only thing keeping her body from completely pressing into his.
Neither of them said anything for a little while, after a few minutes he felt her laughing so he decided to speak
"You alright" he asked smiling down at her
Lifting her head from his chest, her eyes locking with his, his smile grew wider when he saw the pure joy in her eyes, that kid happiness made her eyes seem even more of a beautiful green "Yeah, you kind of broke my fall" she laughed
"Too bad no one broke mine" he laughed moving around under her shaking off the pain in his back
"Awe my hero" she joked making a childish face
At that moment the both became aware of how close they were, and that their hands were the only thing keeping them apart, she blushed and rolled of him sitting on her knees in the sand
Sighing "Now I have sand in my hair, great ideas you have Kate"
"You're beautiful" he said staring directly at her with dreamy eyes, Kate felt her cheeks redden once again
Once they left the park, they luckily found gentlemen who gave them some gas to get home.
They got to Kate's place, and walking her to the door he was wondering if she had a good enough time to do it again, without the gas part. Kate knew she had a good time with him, and she knew he'd want to know that.
"So we should do this again soon right?" she hinted smiling
"Really? Even after the whole gas thing" He laughed jokingly but at the same time slightly shocked
Laughing "I'll remember gas next time" he chuckled
She took a step towards him looking down then back up to meet his eyes " I don't know, I think the whole running out of gas thing turned out to be pretty great" She laughed lightly seeing his mouth form a smile
"Yeah it did" He nodded
"I had a great time with you Jack, and I can see why Aaron thinks he's dad is so great" She told him her feelings pouring out of her
Jack smiled thanks, and sweetly said "Speaking of Aaron, I should really get home"
Kate smiled, knowing what usually happens at this part of the date.
But was surprised when she didn't feel his lips on hers, but instead on her skin, her forehead connected gently with his lips, his lips were soft and she didn't miss that he let them linger on there for longer then necessary, he slowly pulled away seeing that Kate still had her eyes closed
He smiled too "Goodnight Kate" he sweetly offered
Watching him leave she couldn't seem to find any words, she could still feel the moisture of his lips on her skin where they had just been, standing there feeling winded, she shook her head slightly, why was she feeling winded, unbelievable from just a simply kiss, and on her forehead at that
Minutes after she found that it wasn't the kiss at all, it was simply Jack, he didn't go in for the kill like most men would have, He was different and somehow that made a kiss on the forehead more intimate than the way it's usually done, it meant that he cared and that gave her hope.
Jack got home a little while later, his mother told him that Aaron was asleep upstairs, saying goodbye to his mom, he quietly went into the sleeping little boy's room. Kissing him on the forehead before heading back out, he was stopped by the door "Daddy?" his son said sheepishly
Walking back over to him, sitting on the bed "Hey buddy, I just wanted to say goodnight"
Aaron rubbed his eyes "How'd it go?" Jack smiled despite the little boys tiredness he still had a million questions
"It went good buddy, go back to bed okay, you have school tomorrow" he kissed his forehead
"Okay but one more question" he yawned "You keep your mouth closed when you were eating right?"
Jack laughed and nodded "Night Aaron" turning off the light and closing the door; he walked to his room and fell into a peaceful sleep.
The next day Kate was sitting at her desk, it was lunchtime and the kids were in the lunchroom before going to play outside for recess. Looking over some pictures a few students had given to her, she heard a voice at her classroom door "Excuse me, is this Miss Austen's room?"
She looked up, her eyes following the sound, she found the person behind the voice standing at her doorway and smiled "Jack?" she asked walking over to him
Wrapping her arms around him to give him a hug, his own wrapped around her "Well I'm happy to see you too" he laughed at her excitement
"I wasn't expecting to see you here, that's all" She said shyly and he smiled "Did you see Aaron yet?" she asked
"Yeah I seen him outside with a little girl" he smiled winking at her "But I'm actually here to see you"
"Me?" she smiled back tilting her hand a little throwing him a questioning look
"You. Does the teacher get a lunch break? He asked
"Yes she does, she gets about 40 minutes" her smile grew
"40 minutes huh? I think I can do that" he said grabbing her hand and leading her out the school
"Jack where we going? "She asked laughing as they reached the car
"I want to show you something" he replied simply
"Show me what, I have to be back here when class starts" she replied
He just laughed opening her door for her "Come on Kate, Take a chance with me" he told her, and she laughed thinking about how she'd asked him to do just that last night, so she got in the car. Jack went over to his side and sat down starting the car when he felt Kate's hand and his arm and looking over he saw that she had a big grin on her face "You have gas right?" she teased him, he laughed along and drove off.
About 15 minutes later, in the middle of the road Jack stopped the car
"What are you doing? Why you stopping?" Kate asked looking over to him
Without answering he got out, walked over to her said and opened her door "Were here" he extending his hand, she accepted letting him help her out of the car, and taking in her surroundings, there were trees and the rest of the road, Kate couldn't see why he'd want to show her this.
Where's here?" she asked him
Grabbing her hand again he led her over to the middle of the road, just ahead of the car, luckily they're weren't any cars driving by "This is the state line Kate" he told her
"Well that's great Jack, what are we doing here?" she laughed seeing his amused face
Letting go of her hand, to stand in front of her "Okay, put one foot there" he pointed to the left of where her body was "and the other foot right there" he pointed to the left of her
Standing there with her feet exactly like he'd told her wondering what he was making her do, she looked up from her feet and into his eyes, they were sparkling and he was smiling with his hands stuffed in his pockets, seeing her look at him he thought he better tell her why she was standing in the middle of the road with him
"You're in 2 places at once" he shrugged and smiled at her
Kate's smile grew wider when she realized that he was right, she really was. Tears started to form in her eyes when she thought back to the first person she told about wanting to be in 2 places at once, it was Tom, he'd always said it wasn't possible, and after he died Kate believed her being happy like that again wasn't possible, until Jack she started to think that maybe he could make both those things possible.
She wrapped her arms around his neck, hugging him tightly "Thank you" she whispered in his shoulder, looking down at her he saw the water in her eyes, about to ask her what was wrong, he was interrupted by her lips pressed softly onto his, the kiss was short and sweet, almost ending as fast as it started, and it wasn't one of those big romantic kisses they'd both seen in the movies, the fact that it wasn't like that at all yet they both still felt like it had been, made them both start to believe in something again, they both started to believe in each other.
So what did you think?let me know!
