Find out what happens and I hope you Enjoy!


Kim's POV

I didn't want to wait and see if I could fall asleep alone tonight, I wanted to be with Jack. So as soon as it was time for me to go to bed I was out the door in my pyjamas and heading down the road to Jack's house. I knocked on his door, waiting about three seconds before he opened the door.

"Couldn't sleep?" he asked. My eyebrows furrowed, wondering why he had suddenly broken our none-speaking rule.

I nodded, giving him a confused stare as I walked past him into his house. He closed the door, following me into the kitchen as I fished a glass out from the cupboard and filled it with water.

"Thirsty?" Jack questioned as I gulped down the glass. I placed it on his counter, gazing at him questionably.

"Why are you talking? We don't talk," I said sharply. His eyebrows furrowed.

"Because I'm concerned for you Kim. You don't even seem to be trying at anything anymore. Just yesterday Milton managed to pin you in a karate spar you've mastered over a hundred times," he said a little angrily. I sighed.

"I'm sorry, I've just got a lot on my mind," I mumbled.

"I think we've already established that," Jack said, smirking lightly. I giggled, the sleep deprivation making my head spin. "Come on, lets go to bed," he said but I didn't move. "Kim?" he asked.

"I'm not tired yet," I said, even though I was only just starting to catch up with my sleep now that Jack and I have our new arrangement.

"Really?" he asked and I nodded.

"Let's watch TV!" I said happily. Jack shook his head, smiling at me as he took me to the living room. I instantly jumped onto the loveseat of his couch, loving how big it was. Jack switched on the TV, keeping the volume low so that we wouldn't wake his mom. He then came and sat next to me, his arm instinctively wrapping around my shoulders.

We sat like that, only moving when I snuggled closer to Jack's warmth. When we were halfway through our second episode of Scrubs I finally said what had been on my mind.

"It's weird isn't it?" I asked.

"What?" he asked, turning his head so that his nose rested against my forehead.

"That we fit so naturally like this, like we were meant to be like this," I mumbled.

"We've been over this Kim. If you keep bringing this up the it's going to ruin everything," Jack said, warning in his voice. I sat up and turned to face him on my knees.

"Not recently. Things have changed Jack. Why do you think I haven't been able to sleep Jack? I was wrong and it's killing me." I said forcefully. He sat up as well, anger and fury in his eyes.

"What is there to change? I said I loved you and you broke up with me!"

There was silence as I watched Jack's chest heave with anger. Everything was true. Jack had bared his soul to me after taking me to a beautiful picnic meal he had made by himself and I had run away. Even after that Jack and I had somehow managed to stay friends, not telling the guys what had happened. I always thought Jack had covered it all up so well but, looking into his eyes now, I could see all the pain in his eyes he had been hiding.

"I'm scared," was all I said. Jack cocked an eyebrow.

"You were scared? I thought you could trust me," he said, sounding more hurt then angry.

"I did but you just sprung that on me. I didn't feel ready while you were strong and confident enough to tell me you loved me," I spilled out, feeling the tears spilling out. Jack was silent, taking in everything I had said. Slowly a sheepish smile spread across his face.

"Really? Because if anything Kim, I thought it was the other way around." I cocked an eyebrow at him. "You were so natural in our relationship. You gave me the confidence to tell you that I loved you." I could feel fresh tears streaming down my cheeks at his confession.

"Kim…please don't cry. I promise everything will be alright," Jack whispered, taking my face gently in one of his hand. I sniffled, nuzzling my face into his hand affectionately.

Everything seemed to slow down in those moments, my eyes connected with Jack's. it was almost like we were daring each other to make a move. Both of us wanted to move and I could feel Jack's hand shaking against my skin. Our eyes were locked, Jack probably expecting my eyes to dart away or roll at the action. Instead they remained fiercely against his, challenging him to make the next move. He looked frozen but I could see the want in his eyes, how much he seemed to want another chance when it was me who needed redemption.

"I think I'm ready…" I whispered, giving him the signal. That seemed to be all the encouragement he needed. Slowly he leaned in, placing his lips over mine in a sweet kiss that I had been wishing I could regain for almost a year.

At first it was soft, all the love Jack and I had been holding for each other over the months finally being let out. I held him to me, cupping his face in my hands and pulling him closer. Jack took this as a sign and pushed me further into the couch, pinning me beneath him.

I let him control me, laying me against the back of the couch before he straddled me. His kisses turned fierce, all the pent up love, anger and lust we had been suppressing for a long time.

His lips left mine, trailing down my neck to decorate the skin with nips, kisses and his mark, which had faded with time, being replaced with new ones. I moaned my approval, all those feelings rushing back.

"Jack…" I groaned as he slowly made his way back up to my lips.

"I," kiss. "Love," kiss. "You," he said, pecking my lips. I pulled back and his eyes instantly held fear. I smiled, taking his hands in mine and kissing his knuckles.

"I love you too," I whispered against his skin before leaning in and brushing my lips against his ear. "Always," I breathed and he shivered, letting out a low groan.

"Kim…" he growled, his body pressed against mine again. I chuckled, pushing him back slightly.

"As much as I would love to keep going…" I said, giving Jack a seductive wink. "I'm tired. Can we go to bed?" I asked with an innocent voice. He smiled, kissing my lips once more before pulling back and standing up.

"Of course…if I have to wait until tomorrow then I don't want you tired," he said, giving me a seductive smirk back. I blushed but let him lead me upstairs.

As soon as we were on the bottom step Jack's arms swooped around me and scooped me up bridal style, carrying me to his room. I giggled quietly as he placed me on the bed before climbing in beside me and curling me in his arms. I snuggled against him, smiling madly as he kissed my forehead.

We were both silent for a little while and I could feel myself falling asleep faster then I ever had.

"So much for 'I don't have a crush on you'," Jack mumbled into my hair.

"You're lucky I'm in love with you," I grumbled back before slipping off into a deep sleep.
