The last chapter! I'm crying.. this was really successful and I think I can say I like the way this turned out. I'm so thrilled that everyone loved it and I really mean it! I mean I got about half a thousand reviews and that's just amazing. No words can describe how great it feels to have my audience like my story. I'll keep this short and let you read :) Hope this was an okay ending
Three Years Later...
He was standing there in his tuxedo, on the altar waiting for the bride to come. He fiddled with his collar out of habit and he noticed his best buds come and take their place next to him. He gave them a smirk, and bro-hugged all of them. They were at the beach. The beautiful beachside, they had this part of the beach reserve just for them and it was nice and sunny out. No clouds in the sky and all you could hear were the waves crashing.
Flash Flash Flash
"Okay boys turn to the right and look to the waves." instructed Rudy. The boys did as told and then waited for further instructions. "Okay, we're just waiting on the ladies, but you guys are wrapped up on solos and groups."
Yep, they were modeling for Jack and Jerry's mom's wedding apparel. At the age of 25, all of them, they were a bit too young for marriage, as they had a whole life in front of them to get married. Brett was getting more into acting, he was going to be playing a lead role in his upcoming movie, Brody was starting to model more and act a bit. Jerry was beginning to take up dancing more and model on the side lines, and well Jack... he had his work cut out for him. As promised, he begun to take up his father's work and test things out a bit, he was a little rough, could be very rash sometimes and tended to fire a lot of people his first week working there but he came through. Jack, of course could never stop modeling, he liked it. It was fun, he could travel, and just bring the artistic side of him out. It was fun, but in his dad's work it was all about business, business, business. He saw his dad in a new light after sharing all the hardships his father has to go through being the CEO of a huge company was not easy.
"Sorry we're late! We had a wardrobe malfunction! Aine's boobs kept falling out, Grace's dress is too damn long, it had to be altered, and Sloane keeps complaining about the heels and nearly put on her combat boots!" someone shouted to the boys as the girls came walking towards the boys.
"Hey! It's not my fault that my boobs are way too big for this dress! Maybe if you had some like me you'll know the struggle." Aine retorted.
"Oh wah wah wah, I got big boobs and I can't deal. Shirts so tight boobs out." Sloane commented.
"You know I could take you right here right now." Aine growled.
"Try me! I've always wanted some lesbo action." Sloane teased.
"Yo, Brody if you don't come here right now and stop your girlfriend, there is going to be a lesbian porno going on right now!" Grace yelled.
"That sounds hot." Came a reply from all the guys as the smirked.
"Oh put your boner back in you pants. No porno is happening." Aine waved off.
"Well said. I applaud you." Kim grinned.
"And how are you beautiful?" Aine asked
"It's definitely good to be back, a lot warmer." Kim smiled, and soon she was lifted away from Aine.
"Damn can't even talk to the damn girl." Aine muttered before making her way towards Brett, her partner.
"Can't believe you're finally here. It's good to be back here together." Jack muttered into the blonde's ear.
She giggled before answering, "Of course I'm here! I promised Jane and you I would be here. Now let go! You're creasing the dress!"
He let go of her and gave her a once over. "It feels like I'm getting married today. We're at a beach, you're in a wedding gown, which you look absolutely beautiful in, and all my friends are here. I'm just waiting for a priest and we can get married."
"Jack you know I'm not ready for that." Kim muttered as she absentmindedly played with her promise-ring.
"Yeah, but someday." Jack whispered as he fingered the ring on her ring-finger. "Some day."
"It's a miracle how everyone's here." Jane sighed as she looked off in the distance at the young adults she considered her own children.
"Yeah it is. It's a miracle how he was able to find her again. Shocking really." Sterling smirked as he wrapped his arms around his wife.
"Oh cut the bullshit Sterling. I know you had something to do with it."
"Maybe, maybe not."
Flashback
It's about a year or so since Kim left and Jack still had that empty void in his heart. He searched about all of New York, he went to every campus and even had the police on the outlook for her, but she was no where to be found. Sterling's guys couldn't even find her, it was like she disappeared, under the radar.
On the other hand, Kim was finding it hard to adapt to Philly. It was cold and rainy, unlike Cali, it was also a lot gloomier and packed. College wasn't the same, and she's hated to admit it, but it was really really hard to forget about the guys and Grace. It just wasn't the same. She'd be walking alone through the campus and suddenly she'd turn around hoping to find Jack or one of the guys sneak up on her, like they use to. At least one thing was the same as it was in Cali.
Just outside her campus, a Tea-do was opened. And guess who ran it? Ann did. The same Ann from California. Kim had totally forgotten that Ann's parents owned the franchise, and for Ann's graduation present was her own Tea-do. It has been hers for about four years. It was very successful, considering it was just outside the campus. Kim and Ann would hang out and they'd talk, sometimes the past would come up and Kim would try to change the subject, or brush it off. Of course she heard about Aine and Jack's engagement break up. Who didn't hear about it? You'd have to live under a rock to not know about it. Despite knowing, Kim turned her head the other way and continued living in Philly. She couldn't pack up her stuff and move back just because of the news, and hope things could just resume back where they were. It just didn't work like that. It wasn't a fairy-tale story, it's reality-life. She decided to finish out her college in Philly and major in business. With her smarts she was able to help Ann bring in more customers and help her organize her financial stuff. Life was okay in Philly but not good. It could never get better if they weren't in her life anymore.
Kim guessed the reason why she decided not to contact Jack or the rest of them was because of guilt, or the fear that she just be bothering them. She didn't know why, she just felt like it. She left without any reason, and never contacted them even after she heard about the broken engagement. It was her old self emerging, the loneliness she felt was resurfacing and she was the burden everyone had to carry. That feeling was hard to shake off and it loomed over her.
It was nearing the third year they were apart. Both were going ahead with their lives, but there wasn't a day the other wasn't thinking about the other or longing to be in each other's arms.
"We got information that she's in Philly, sir." came a voice through the phone
"And do you know specifically where in Philly?" Sterling spoke.
"Yes sir." the voice spoke again.
"Good, get me a plane ticket there, near one of branches ASAP."
"Yes sir."
"Thank you."
Sterling ended the call, then dialed a new number. "Jackson?"
"Yes."
"You're going to visit one of the branches tomorrow."
"Must I go?"
"Yes you have to go, Jack. I think you'll find going worthwhile."
"Whatever just send the details to my phone. I'll be there. Bye."
Sterling smiled as he hung up. He was starting to make amends.
Jack sighed as he made his way to an empty in a cafe he knew so well. He had finished attending a meeting in the Philly branch and it was around 11 at night. It was relatively quiet and there was only one other customer in the shop. He placed his order with a red head and waited for his order. He sighed as he watched the red head place his order and in the process continue to take off her apron and begin to gather her stuff and leave. Well, who exactly was going to deliver his order? He shrugged before unlocking his phone and continue play around with his phone. And yet again, he always seemed to do this when he was alone, but he stumbled upon a picture of the girl who took a piece of his heart and never gave it back. The girl he's been trying so hard to find again, yet couldn't, no matter how hard he tried. He heard footsteps but ignored them. When he heard them stop at his table he reached out to grab the drink but failed, when his hand collided with the waiters, and his drink spilled on him. He looked up and swear he was hallucinating. His heart stopped, and he could hear the pounding in his ears. His eyes widened, his hands started getting clammy, and he swallowed the lump in his throat before speaking.
"Is this always how we're going to meet, because frankly, I'm tired of having my designer clothes ruined."
"Oh, my god... oh my fucking god!"
Next thing you knew the two were hugging, and Jack held her close, squeezing the daylights out of her, but she didn't care, for they both knew if they were to let go, it would be like losing each other all over again.
"Damn. Where the fuck have you been. God I missed you." Jack whispered, as Kim silently cried in his arms. It was good to be re-united again. It was really good.
They had headed up to Kim's little apartment near the university, after she got off work, and throughout the whole time they caught up and began to fall back in their own little world again. Jack canceled his flight back to California and decided to stay with Kim for a few more weeks, just when she graduated college. They had got back to her apartment and had a long due reunion.
Out of breath, sweaty, and naked the couple laid on the blond's bed in each other's embraces.
"I can't believe you're actually here. It feels like I'm dreaming." Kim breathed out as she snuggled deeper into Jack's embrace.
"Better believe it, because that was not just some crazy sex dream." Jack chuckled.
Kim giggled and slapped her... her- what were they again? Were they back together, or were they going to start again? This had been one of their most intimate moments with each other, like ever. They both hadn't gone this far in their previous relationship they had together, and in the short time of less than a week, she was already sleeping with him. A guy who she didn't her place with. Of course she loves him, and she was almost positive that he loves her, but now she wanted a label at what they were. Her thoughts started to disappear and scramble when Jack started kissing up and down her neck.
"Fuck, Jack." Kim moaned out.
Jack smiled into his kisses and circled her ear with his tongue, "Mhmm, you like that. Getting turned on with such a simple gesture. What a bad girl."
She whimpered then moaned out loud when one of his hands disappeared under the sheets and headed to her womanhood, as his kisses on her neck was getting more fierce and sensual. "Jack..."
"Yeah you like that."
"Fuck yes! Jack!" Kim moaned as her voice raised an octave.
"Shit, if you keep moaning like that, I might just have to take you again."
"God, do it. I want you so badly."
Soon their innocent spooning position was changed to a more provocative one. Too focused on each other, they fail to hear the door to her apartment open and let some intruders in.
"Shh, I hear them. This way." someone whispered. Slowly four people made their way to the bedroom door. Someone held one finger and started counted off, "One.. two... three.."
"Surpr-AHHH"
"Holy shit! Put on some damn clothes!"
"I can't believe I walked in on Jack again."
"Damn...Kim get it!"
"Ay papi my eyes!"
Kim screamed and Jack, being the one who was used to being caught, quickly threw the sheets on them, before anyone could see anything. Kim, recovering from her shock grabbed the sheets and held them tightly around her chest.
"How the fuck did you guys get in here!" Kim flusteredly yelled, as she tried to contain her blush.
"Credit cards have very good uses. I think you should see about getting a new type of door or something. You can easily break in here." Grace smirked
"Oh my god." Kim spoke as she ran her hand through her disheveled hair.
"Awah is Kimmy mad that we interrupted her sex time with Jack?" Brody teased.
Jack threw a pillow at him and said, "Stop being a dick and throw me my boxers."
Brody complied after shouting a 'hey that almost hit me.'
"How did you guys even find me." Kim mumbled as she try to find some clothes to put on.
"We were wondering where Jack went and Sterling told us he was here." Brett said
"And he also told us that Jack found a little something and decided to stay in Philadelphia. We wanted to know why, and he told us. We took the quickest flight here to surprise you, but no no mama, you surprised us." Jerry grinned as he handed Kim a shirt her found after seeing her distressed look.
"Right, now it's good to see you all again, but will you please all get the fuck out of my room so I can change and look decent instead of butt ass fucking naked in bed with fucking sheets covering me." Kim growled.
"Bitch please, like we haven't all been there before." Grace scoffed.
"Get the fuck out!" Kim screamed
"Okay okay geez, what did Jack stick up your ass." Brett spoke as he raised his hands in defence
"Dude, nice one! Didn't know you had that in you!" Brody congratulated as he slapped Brett on the back as they all exited. Once the door shut, Kim fell backwards back on her bed with all sigh.
"That was so embarrassing. Christ, how could they just fucking interrupt us?." Kim moaned in despair. "We were just getting started too."
Jack chuckled and planted a kiss on her lips, before slapping on a grin, "Someone's sexually frustrated. Didn't know you couldn't get enough of this. You want the D or nah?"
"Shut up, pretty boy." Kim pouted
Jack stuck at his tongue and Kim licked it. She therefore winked, let go of the covers that hid her essential parts and continued to walk in front of him and proceed to put of her undergarments teasing him.
"You wanna play dirty, two can play that game baby." Jack said as he pushed Kim down on the bed once again.
"Yo! You guys better not start again! We are not waiting around here while you guys have sex in the other room! So Jack put your fucking dick away and get motherfucking changed!" Jerry yelled.
Jack rolled his eyes before following his best friend's order, and the two got changed, before making their way to their group of friends.
The group of friends caught up for the past week, all squeezing to fit into Kim's little apartment. Having fun like the use to, creating mischief. Soon enough Kim graduated and they were all there to support her, even her parents, who Jack flew in as a surprise. It was good seeing her parents again, debt free and health. And almost all everything was finally perfect again. Kim and Jack were in their paradise again, with each other.
"This is for you. It's not something real serious, but just a promise." Jack spoke as he slide a ring on Kim's finger.
"Jack.. it's beautiful, but why?"
"To promise to be in my life and never leave again. It's a little thing that can remind you of how we'll always be connected. I've engraved it. It says 'Words Define Us' because when I first met you, I thought you were such a brat, and so dorky. Then you, it happened. You finally let go of the layers and let your beauty show. I was so against it, how you looked so hot and I was out of my mind. Then that speech you gave me, how words always affected you, that was the first time when I thought 'wow, she's so strong and beautiful'. You talked about how words always affect you and I wanted to change your view on that. Now that we're together, criticism and support will be floating around everywhere, and I want you to know that I don't care about what they say, because all their words just define us as our own. Our individuality, our togetherness, and no one change that."
"Shit, that, I- I can't even describe how I feel right now. It's I feel so loved right now, and I feel everything is so perfect with you here, and you're just making it like 100 times better. Thank you Jack, thank you. I love it. And I think you summed it up pretty well." Kim smiled at Jack, "I love you."
"I love you too."
The two shared a sweet kiss and Grace took a snap, as always.
"Cute!" Grace whined. "Be like that somehow."
"Yeah, sure when you want me to be soft. Can we talk about whipped?" Jerry teased and Grace stuck her tongue out at him. Jerry gave her a quick peck on the lips and whispered, "You always liked it in bed better than me being all sweet and shit anyway."
"Jerry!" Grace screamed as her face turned red.
That day, Jack and Kim announced their relationship, publicly.
Flashback Over
Present Day
"Awe look at them playing around. It's like they're in high school again." Jane sighed
"Yeah, they can finally let loose now, huh?" Sterling murmured.
"Maybe a little too much fun." Jane said as she scrunched her eyebrows together, then her eyes widened. "Are they- are they doing what I think they're gonna do?"
"Probably."
"Oh fuck no! You boys put the girls down now! Don't you fucking drop them in the ocean you little heartless bastards! Those clothes are new and still need to be clean if you want to take pictures! Don't you fucking dare get them dirty. JACKSON! BRODERICK! JEROME! BRANDON!" Jane yelled as she untangled herself from her husband and scurried down the beach. "You monsters!"
By then the boys had already reached the ocean and let the "brides" in the water and began running for their lives. You could hear the high pitched screams from the girls and the roaring laughter from the boys. Sterling smiled and ran to his wife before sweeping her off her feet and producing to run to the ocean and give her the same fate as the girls.
"You fucking jerk!" Jane cried out. Sterling snickered and joined the laughing men on the beach.
"Thank you for the hard work crew! We'll continue the shoot tomorrow, because of some dimwits. Boys! Help the girls out." Rudy spoke through the megaphone, as he and the crew began packing up.
It was evening and everyone sat around the bonfire roasting marshmallows ot making smores. It was a good day, and one of the many adventures ahead of them.
"This is the life, I've always wanted. Thank you for making that possible. Though it was rough ride, it was worth it. We've been through makeovers, reunions-good and bad-, dorm break-ins, relationships, arranged marriages, fun adventures, fights, and of course me running away across the nation. But, in the end, like fate has their red strings that intertwine everywhere, fate has ours connected. And I'm happy they are. I love you guys, and I really mean it."
Everyone smiled and they knew that indeed the red threads of fate were connecting them together. No words needed to be said, because it would be their happily ever after. For now... and the adventure had just begun, again.
Kim smirked the sleek red ferrari zoomed down the empty highway aside the beach, "ROAD TRIP!"
She laughed as she saw her boyfriend lift one hand off the steering wheel and pump out his fist letting out a holler, along with her friends who were trailing behind them in their own cars.
"WHOO LET THE ADVENTURE.. BEGIN"
The End.
Wow.. it's hard saying that. I'm really gonna miss your guys feedback and everything, but this is the end. i'm sad to say this but Words Define Us is completed.
Thank you again for reading and liking the story, it means a lot to me :) I hope you like how it ended, a little vague, not a lot of romance, didn't want it to be too cheesey, but yeah this is the finally product.
I love you guys, and I think this will be one of my last stories I write. I will be on fanfiction reading, but I don't think I'm going to have the time to write anymore, maybe little one-shots or stories that are 3-5 chapters long. I don't know. So don't be expecting a sequel or something.
Again Thank You for taking time to read this, it was a nice having you follow along, and this is the last of this story. BYE *heart* Leave a nice parting message as a review and if you have an account I'll reply back to you!
Goodbye, i love you from,
