Hey guys! So today is Friday, yay! Here is the next chapter! Enjoy.
Weeks passed and things were great. Kim was still her happy and chipper self, Grace and Jerry were happy with how everything was going. From their lives, to their relationship, to their jobs and even their friends. Jerry finally got jack back to the old Jack and for once things finally felt right in the world.
Kim and Grace returned home one night after a crazy day. Thanksgiving was in a week and it's been nothing but crafts and stories about the holiday. They were deciding on what to eat for dinner while Grace went to grab the mail. Once Grace got the mail she ran back in the house at lightning speed almost taking Kim down in the process.
"Grace, what the hell, Kim asked startled.
Grace didn't say anything but gave Kim an envelope. Kim raised her eyebrow as she looked at the envelope before almost passing out. In her hand she held the envelope from the courthouse, which meant that hopefully it was all over.
She quickly ripped it open as she read the first paragraph stating that she is now 'officially divorced'. She was happy but a little sad that seven years of her life are gone but it was the best thing for them. She quickly grabbed her phone and called Brody. Surprisingly he answered after a couple of rings. "Hey Kim," he said happily.
"Hey Brody. How are you?" She asked.
"I am good. And you?" He asked back.
"Honestly I don't know. I am happy but a little sad", Kim said in a low voice.
"Why? What's going on Kim?" Brody asks now concerned.
"Nothing Brody", Kim started as she took a deep breath before continuing. "Just that I got it today", she finished.
There was silence on the other end and Kim didn't know what was happening. After a few minutes of Brody still not talking Kim said, "Brody?"
"Uh yeah, sorry. Didn't mean to space out there. So you got it today", Brody said in a calm voice.
"Yep", Kim responded not knowing what else to say.
"Well, I should be getting soon, so after I get it do you want to meet up?" Brody asked cautiously.
"Yeah, that sounds good. I am free all next week", Kim said now feeling better about the situation.
"Ok, great. Well, do you want to do it before or after Thanksgiving?" Brody asked.
"Um, I actually want to do it before. Is that ok with you?" Kim asked back in a nervous tone.
"Yeah, that's fine with me. How about Tuesday?" Brody requested.
"That works for me. See you Tuesday", Kim replied in a happier tone.
"Great. See you then", Brody countered as they hung up.
Kim and Grace had a nice evening and rest of the week and couldn't wait for a week of relaxation.
Tuesday rolled around and although Kim was sad before, she didn't feel as bad now. She and Brody decided to grab coffee and talk one last time.
Kim and Brody arrived at the same time as they both looked happy. They exchanged hugs, got their coffee and found a table in the back of the café. "Kim you look great", Brody said with a genuine smile.
"Thanks and you look great too Brody", Kim replied back.
They both chuckled and caught up on life over the past few months before diving into more serious matters. Kim took a deep breath and said what she needed to say. "Brody, I know I said this before and I promise this will be the last time I say it but I am sorry for all of this".
Brody shook his head, smiled, grabbed Kim's hand giving it a gentle squeeze and said, "Kim, it's really ok. We both made mistakes and now we are moving on with our live happier than before", softly, than pausing and looking at Kim before asking, "You are happy, right Kim?"
Kim thought for a minute before answering, "Yeah, I am. I am me for the first time since we got married".
"Well, that's good to hear. And how is your 'friend'?" Brody asked interested.
Kim blushed, looked down at her shoes and then had a look of sadness on her face. "Kim what happened? Are things bad? Did he break up with you?" Brody asked quickly, now concerned.
Kim shook her head 'no' as Brody was confused. "Kim", Brody said in a low voice. "What's going on?"
Kim was silent, trying to get everything together in her head. After taking a few deep breaths she said, "I don't know, ok. We actually haven't spoken since we agreed to stop seeing each other and that was the same night we had out fight so that was what, like over 2 months ago".
Brody nodded, not sure on what to say. Sure he was sad that Kim liked or loved someone else but at the same time he has never seen her so happy and he also kind of has someone that makes him feel that same way so he can't really hold it against her. "Kim, just go see him", Brody said in a soft but serious voice.
Kim's head shot up with a confused look on her face. Brody chuckled and added, "Kim, I saw the look on your face when you came home from the hospital. I know you really love this guy".
Kim smiled and nodded, taking everything in. They sat in silence and then Kim asked, "So, what about your girl?"
Brody was a little shocked but answered, "Not much to say. We have talked a little more but she is giving me space until everything is sorted out, good and done".
Kim smiled and added, "She sounds like a great woman".
Brody nodded and gave Kim a thankful, smile.
They caught up for the rest of the afternoon reliving memories and as they reminisced they only thought going through their minds were that they would always be friends.
As they were getting ready to leave Brody said one last thing to Kim that made everything feel like it was going to be ok. "Kim, I know that things didn't quite work out for us but no matter what we will always be friends. This is our second chance to be happy and live a new life".
Kim smiled and hugged Brody tightly saying, "Thanks Brody, for everything. And you are right. We will always be friends and I want you to be happy too".
"Don't worry about me", Brody joked as they walked out of the café laughing.
They walked to their cars in silence knowing as of right now; they are the new and improved Brody and Kim. With one final wave goodbye Kim and Brody drove off ready for a new start.
Kim returned home in a happy and tranquil mood. Talking to Brody really made her feel better as they knew this was the right thing for them. Now the only obstacle left in Kim's way was getting the courage to talk to Jack and after talking to Brody, Kim knew she was without a doubt 100 percent in love with Jack and she wanted him in her life because she has never felt the love she has for him ever before.
So there you have it. Kim and Brody are over and I know you are all waiting for a very special something…well hang tight. Please R&R and let me know what you think.
So I don't know if I will have time this weekend to update but for sure Monday! Please review and let's try and get close to 160! I know you can!
Have a great weekend and until next time,
