Hello everyone and thank you, thank you, thank you! You are all seriously the best. There are a few things I would like to say. 1.I know the last one was short and this one will be too so sorry but that's just the way I work. I have no limit on how long chapters are and I stop when I feel like it's at a good point. 2. I know a lot you want the divorce and for kick to get together but please trust me when I say things will happen but we have many, many more chapters to go through that I have already planned out so just be patient. And 3. Some chaptera may seem like fillers but they all tie together so yeah. But really thanks for the love!

The next morning Kim sat in her car debating if she should call Jack this early or this soon. Honesty she couldn't wait to see him again so she pulled out her phone and called his office, praying to leave another message and she got her wish. After she hung up she was in a fantastic mood.

Five minutes later Jack arrived to work in a good mood wondering if Kim called. 'Really, you just gave her your schedule yesterday' his conscience said. Jack was a little sad and carried on with him normal routine finally getting to his voicemails. Most were random coworkers but there was one from this morning that instantly made his heart pound. "Hey Jack it's Kim. Thanks for your schedule and it looks like we are both free on next Thursday, so let's try for that day. When we see or talk to each other we can plan a time. I hope you have a good day and that I see you soon. Oh and by the way, I can't wait either and I miss you too. Bye".

As soon as the message was over Jack couldn't stop smiling. For one because they were meeting again but also because she got his hidden message and said it back. Today was going to be a good day.

Kim and Jack met that following Thursday and also a few times after that coming up with a more definite schedule and enjoyed every minute of it. They learned so much about it each other from Jack growing up in North Carolina and Kim being raised in New York and still there. Both having older sibling; Kim and older brother and Jack with an older sister. They talked about their childhoods with Kim being a goody to shoes and Jack always getting in trouble. Both their parents worked with Kim's dad being a business man and her mom in human resources. Jacks dad was an accountant and his mom was a clerk at the court house. Kim cheered and danced from a young age all through high school while Jack did football, basketball and baseball. They are both straight A students. Kim has always loved little kids so teaching was a given and Jack feel in love with science in high school and he wanted to help kids also loving them so becoming a doctor became his dream. Kim went to NYC University where she met Brody and Jack went to Duke, then John Hopkins. They were so alike but so different at the same time.

The time spent with each other felt like they were long lost friends catching up. Everything about them was just so simple and Kim loved that feeling.

The winter holiday was coming up and Kim was sad she wouldn't be able to see or talk to Jack for 2 weeks. On the last day before the school break Jack came to pick Kaylie with a bag full of gifts she was supposed to give out to her teachers which she would have this morning if her father Jerry didn't forget at home. As soon as Kaylie saw Jack, she ran towards him engulfing him in a tight hug and taking the bag. Jack chuckled at his niece's tactics as he followed her into the classroom. He said hello to Grace who has actually become a really good friend of his and things between them didn't seem awkward considering Grace tried asking him out multiple times. They chatted for a few minutes as Kaylie searched through the bag for Grace's gift. Once Kaylie found it she ran over and handed it to Grace who had genuine smile on her face thanking Kaylie for the gift. Jack and Grace hugged goodbye and wished each other a Merry Christmas. Jack was heading out to the parking lot when he realized Kaylie wasn't behind him but instead, going to Kim's classroom and Jack silently thanked Kaylie. He casually walked in seeing Kaylie and Kim in a conversation so he just stood off to side watching the two. Kaylie reached into her bag and pulled out Kim's gift which brought a smile to her face. Kaylie hugged Kim and then made her way to Jack. Jack told Kaylie to hold on one second as he pulled out a small piece of paper and handed it to Kim. Kim smiled, a little confused but opened up the paper as a bigger smile now appeared on her lips and without even thinking she hugged Jack in simple friendly hug that to the both of them seemed to leave a tingling sensation which meant one thing...yeah definitely more than a friendly hug.

After releasing from the hug Jack whispered to Kim, "Have a good holiday" which Kim whispered back, "You too". They waved goodbye and as soon as jack was out of sight Kim fanned herself off feeing warm. She could still feel Jacks hand on her back and she knew she was definitely in trouble.
