Here's chappie 15! Hope y'all like! This has to be one of my favourite chapters I've written.
Why don't we try to get like at least 5 reviews for this chapter eh?
And to 'A person' (Guest), yes, yes I am. XD
"Jerry these are the woman that looked after you when you were very little" Mrs. Martinez says.
"You two are still alive?!" Jerry gapes. I instantly snort, Milton's head shoots straight up, Eddie chokes down the popcorn and Jack instantly scolds him. Oh Jerry.
"Hehe, what Jerry meant to say was," Jack says, stopping to shoot a glare at Jerry "That it's nice to see you two again after so long and that you are still looking young"
Oh Jack, you charmer, you
Making the ladies swoon no matter the age. He'll have little baby girls blushing at the sight of him next. No but seriously, I am actually finding this situation kinda funny. Jerry messing up and then Jack tries to smoothly get him out of it. Key word there guys, tries.
Jerry opens his mouth to comment but before he does (and before I knock him with something to shut him up) Eddie shoves a fistful of popcorn into his mouth. Good work Ed. Ha, but Milton is still sitting there looking shocked. I think I ought to see if I can make things that little bit harder for Jack.
"Melinda is it?" I politely ask one. She nods. "Ok, I think you and I both know that Jackie-boy right here is trying to get a romantic dinner date with you tonight." I say, slinging my arm over Jack's shoulders.
"I- uh... I mean, that I... Well- erm.." Jack stammers. I bite my tongue to stop myself from laughing.
"As flattering as that may be young man, I am already married and about to celebrate my wedding anniversary with my husband soon." Melinda says. I can feel the laughter bubbling up...
"What type of anniversary?" Jerry asks from a mouthful of popcorn. He then spits it out. "Diamond?" He snickers, only to be whacked on the face with Milton's (bulky) history book. Oh look out! Krupnick's back.
"Oh same old Jerry" Melinda chuckles. Omg she is so nice! Why does Jerry have to act like such a jerk right now? "And as a matter of fact," she says putting a hand on Jack's shoulder "I'm not interested. Plus my husband is way better looking" Melinda and Betty then leave and as soon as the door shuts I burst out laughing, clutching my stomach.
"Dude that has got to burn" Eddie laughs. Jack just stands there, beet root red.
"That was just mean, Kim" he says to me.
"What was?" I ask, looking up at him innocently before collapsing into a fit of giggles. I see a smile tugging at Jack's mouth and I just giggle even more before he soon starts laughing with us. Oh we are such an odd group. Me and Jack on the floor, laughing our lungs away at the second, Milton and Eddie hyperventilating, trying to get their breath back and Jerry was just sprawled in the floor, textbook on face, laughing.
"And you two are still looking so young" I imitate
"Shut up" Jack whines and whacks me with a pillow. I laugh and whack him back, twice as hard.
"Are you jealous Kim? That Jack was hitting on Melinda and Betty and not you?" Milton teases
"Oh yeah sure," I say, scooting closer to Jack until we're so close that you'd need something thinner than a chisel to pull us apart "Totally jealous, I never knew Jack was into older woman" I say and purposely lean into him. The guys laugh and I feel Jack stiffen and heat up.
"Kim stop being such a tease and let the poor guy breathe" Eddie says. I grin and flop onto my bed. I look over to Jack and see a faintest bit of pink leaving his cheeks.
"Jerry help me get some snacks" Jack says and pulls him out the room.
"Hey Jack!" I call out before he leaves. He pokes his head back into the room. "I'll be waiting" He goes the reddest red you could ever imagine and bolts out the room. Milton, Eddie and I burst into hysterical laughter. I can even hear Jerry laughing.
"I've never seen such a red" Milton states after we calmed down. "I think it's a new colour"
"What should we call it?"
"I know!" Eddie says "Let's call it 'Tease Red' eh?"
"Perfect." I grin.
Jack and Jerry then walk into the room, two trays full of snacks. Jerry plops down into the floor and the trio dive in. I make eye contact with Jack and I pat the spot next to me. He comes over and lies down on his front, bouncing slightly. "Just put the tray at the bottom of the bed" I say and he does just that. "You know," I start "If I'm not mistaken I'm pretty sure it's YOU that's got a crush on me" Jack raises an eyebrow but I can still see the faintest touch of tease red on his cheeks. :3
"I think you're mistaken, I bet your bringing this up because YOU'VE got a crush on me!"
"Oh really?"
"Yep."
"I don't think so"
"Don't you now?"
"Nope."
"So you wouldn't mind if I?"
"Aha! I knew it was you mister!"
"No! I said that to see your reaction! Is Miss Crawford blushing?"
"Not as much as you were earlier!"
As me and Jack shot comebacks at each other, Milton, Eddie and Jerry were watching us intently. Heads going side to side with every sentence.
"You so wouldn't have the guts to!"
"The men always do!"
"Where are the men?"
"I'm looking at one right now!"
"Ugh! See? You're stalling by offending the poor maiden!"
"Well I don't see no maiden!"
"Stalling!"
"I'm sure that every single maiden in the world are graceful and pretty!"
"Stereotypical and STALLING!"
"Judging my words now?"
"Stalling!"
"Got nothing to say?"
"Stalling!"
"Crawford-"
"Still stalling Brewer!"
"Don't call-"
"Stalling!"
"You know what?!"
"Stalling!"
"Fine!"
"Sta-!" Before I can finish, my mouth is forcefully shut up by his. My eyes widen and he opens his eyes, mouth still on mine, and winks. I narrow my eyes. No one gets the better of me! I put my arms around his neck and kiss back. I felt sparks go through me. Must be something I ate. I feel Jack stiffen up and I smirk. He notices this, puts his arms around my waist and kisses back. Dangit Brewer! Just give up! Jack and I know that whoever pulls away first has lost. Of course this goes on for a while until we pull away at the same time gasping for air. Jerry, Eddie and Milton are staring at us wide-eyed.
"I so won!" I gasp
"No I did!" He shoots back
"Enough!" Milton cries. We look at him confused "I'm pretty sure the both of you like each other and that kiss was something more than a STUPID competition!"
"Nah. Definitely a competition." We both state. I feel a pang inside me.
"Or maybe not" I bravely say
"Could have been more..." Jack rubs his arm
"Than that."
"Maybe I DO like you..."
"Just a little"
"Just a tad."
"Or a lot"
"Maybe bigger"
Milton smiles at his achievement and the trio leave the room. I take a deep breath and hug him. He embraces me back.
"We both lost in the competition," Jack whispers "Wanna go for round two?"
I laugh slightly and rest my forehead on his. My lips are slightly touching his. I sense Jack's impatient-ness. "Maybe next time lover boy" I whisper and saunter out the room. I peek my head back in and see a shocked Jack with a very red face. I laugh and skip downstairs, joining the trio on the couch.
"What happened up there?" Eddie asks. I smirk at him and say two words.
"Tease red."
