ilovesports1999: Aw thanks! I swear you're reviewing on every chapter now! And I love you for that! xD

Please can y'all check out my Valentine's day special oneshot? It's called 'Love is easy'

Sorry the fixing the relationship with Kim and AJ was so rushed. I just wanted to be able to solve some stuff in the story now. So that means... Yes, this story will be finishing... No no no! Don't cry darhlins! There are still more chapters to come! Savour them all because Dreams have meanings will be coming to a close. :'(

A few hours later, Jack and I left Jerry's house. We wave a final goodbye to his relatives as we turn a corner. Milton and Eddie decided to stay over for a while longer. Eddie was so amazed at all the food there and Milton was on his way to learning Spanish. Hmmm. Jerry will finally be better at him on an academic subject... For now.

"We've kissed twice now and we haven't even talked about it" Jack says, breaking my train of thoughts.

"Yeah... Can we talk about that another time? Please? I've got a lot on my mind with you-know-who being back and frankly all the food from Jerry's has just made me feel so bloated, I can't even think straight." Jack nods in understanding, I feel bad for putting it off again but I cannot handle any more problems. I've never had so many thrown at me in such a short amount of time! It's just so. So... Frustrating!

A car honks next to us and we both jump. I turn my head and I roll my eyes. It's Alejandro. Yes I may have said I'd give him a chance but it's not like I'm just gonna forget everything willy-nilly.

"Hey Kim! Want a ride home?"

"Are you stalking me?" I ask. A flash of hurt comes over his face and I just raise my eyebrows. "And where did you get that car? Let me guess. Did ya steal that? Is it the reason you were arrested?"

"Kim..." Jack mutters in a warning tone. I ignore him.

"Is it Alejandro? Is it? It did you do something worse?"

"Please can we talk about this at home? Not here in the streets?"

"Why? You afraid someone's gonna turn you in again?" He looks at me with a pleading face. "Are you begging? Alright fine. Jack you come in too"

"I don't think that's such a good idea..."

"Nonsense! You can get a ride too! Right Alejandro?" He meekly nods and we climb into his car. "If you didn't steal this, how on earth did you afford the money to buy this?"

"I go to work, I have little jobs, I save the money" he shrugs. This only makes me angrier

"You saved up money and you spent it on yourself? You know mum and dad are having financial issues! The money paid for this stinkin car could have helped them so much! Why are you so selfish?!" He doesn't answer me, he keeps his head up and on the road but I notice his trembling hands on the wheel.

"Remember, you need to give him a chance, talk to him properly" Jack lightly whispers to me, so barely audible that I'm sure that he had trouble hearing it himself too. I sigh and mouth 'later'. He nods but I can see his eyes telling me to stop putting him into hard situations. I huff and I turn away, determined not to let some guy's eyeballs change my thoughts and feelings about someone.

Those cute, amazing eyeballs...

Snap outta it! You are just being weird now! I mentally scold myself over and over. I must have been pulling a weird face because Jack lightly shakes me and looks at me like I'm mental.

"You okay?"he whispers, "Ya looked a little constipated."

"Bet that was attractive" I murmur

"Sure was" Jack mutters back. I look at him. His facial expression doesn't tell me if he was joking or not. It's so unfair that guys can hide their emotions easily. I raise an eyebrow at him and he shrugs. I look at AJ and he catches my eye in the rear view mirror, he shrugs too.
Stupid boys. And their stinkin non-emotional faces.
Stupid eyeballs.

We enter the kitchen and AJ throws his keys into the 'key bowl'. Yeah I know what you're thinking: WTF is a key bowl?! Sounds stupid like you idiots that use it! Well first, thank you. Second, it's just a random bowl holding keys, K hun? It's what we idiots just do, alright? If ya don't particularly like that, go find someone else with no key bowl and who actually cares.

As y'all can tell, I'm in a great mood.

"So, Kimmo, AJ, I think you two got some talkin' to do" Jack says, breaking the silence. I glare at him.

"Don't call me Kimmo"

"It's better than Kimmy right?"

"But Kimmo sounds like I'm a sumo wrestler!"

"And...?"

"They're gigantically, humongous-ly large!"

"You have a lot in common"

"Jack!" I laugh/groan. I whack him with my hand. He pretends to moan in pain. Then, oh dear sugar, he 'keels over' and 'dies'. I laugh at his terribly acting but I play along. I take a single flower from the vase my mother had set up and gently place it across his folded arms across his chest.

"Don't Jacko get a goodbye kiss?" I roll my eyes. Kimmo, Jacko, what's next? Milto, Jerro and Eddo? Plus the grammar in that sentence was terrible.

"Well Jacko is meant to be dead right now" I reply. He puts on his adorable thinking face.

"If Jacko is dead again, will he get a bye bye kiss?"

"Maybe, maybe not." I pause "You do remember you're lying down on my kitchen floor? Where little cousin Jenny puked on just a few days ago?" This makes his eyes widen. He springs up, muttering things about me not telling him and how I'll pay. He notices the line flower now lying on the floor and a grin comes across his face. He picks it up and bows in front of me.

"For you, milady" he says, holding it out to me. I giggle and curtsey.

"Why thank you kind sir" I reply and take the tiger lily. Tiger lilies are my new favourite flower.

"Stop goofing about and kiss already!" Three voices shout. We turn our heads and see my brothers. AJ's sitting in a chair holding a bowl of popcorn while Jeff sits cross-legged on the floor, chin resting on his hand and Cole stands behind AJ and is currently throwing kernels at Jeff who ignores it and keeps staring at us intently. I open my mouth to protest, once again, that we're only friends (for now :3) and that we are not going to kiss for their entertainment but Jack puts a hand over my mouth and shakes his head at my goofball brothers, chuckling slightly.

"Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss!" They chant. I bite on Jack's hand and he retracts it from my mouth, groaning.

"Ah shut it!" I threaten them and try close their mouths. I point my finger towards the door and AJ and Cole walk out, moaning. I raise my eyebrow at Jeff but he stays in position motioning for us to go on. "You gonna leave?" I ask. He shakes his head. "Yeah I thought so."

"Hey wait a minute!" Jack suddenly cries. He runs to the bottom if the the staircase. "You two still need to talk!" he yells.

"You two still need to kiss!" Came the reply. Jeff and I chuckle and we walk over to where Jack is. Jeff pats his shoulder and leaves us. I take a proper look at Jack and smirk.

"Tease red! Tease red!" I sing. He blushes harder.

"You and AJ still haven't talked it out!" He whines. I roll my eyes. Doesn't he know the Crawford way of forgiving?

"If two Crawford's fight. They know they've been forgiven if they stop insulting each other. Plus he made you go tease red!" I explain "Nice one A!" I shout up the stairs. One piece of popcorn comes down the stairs. Jack looks confused. "Don't worry, not many people really get it... Tease red!" He heats up again.

I decide to make it even more embarrassing for him, that's what best friends do right? I ever so softly kiss his cheek and the tip of his nose.
Okay what on earth did I eat?! Those weird tingles are back again. It's worth it though, he seems to be in shock. I think he's debating inside his head. On what you ask? I have no clue.

"Oh forget it!" He shouts

"What?" I ask. He grabs my waist and pulls me towards him. One hand on my waist, the other on my cheek. Is this boy trying to kill me? My heart is beating faster and faster I think it's gonna explode. He's staring into my eyes and my hands are pressed against his chest. I feel my cheeks heating up.

"Look who's tease red now" he murmurs into my ear. Oh the things this boy does to me. I start to pull away from his grip before he makes my head explode from all the blushing. "Oh no you don't" I look at him quizzically. He's already made me tease red. Karma. I'm about to say something when I realise a pair of lips.

Jack Brewer is kissing me.
