Jack's POV
It was a Saturday afternoon and Jerry, Milton, and I were lying on the mats in the dojo, dying in the 105 degree heat. I was shirtless, whilst Milton and Jerry were in undershirts. "Hey guys?" Jerry asked. "Sh. It's too hot for talking." Milton snapped. "Fine. I was just wondering where Kim was. She was supposed to be here like five minutes ago." Jerry finished whilst walking out of the dojo. My head shot up at this news.
"Yeah, where is Kim?" I asked. "Just call her." Milton suggested. "Okay." I replied. As I got up, Kim walked through the dojo doors. "Hey guys." She said happily. I glanced at her, and immediately did a double take. Her golden hair was in a ponytail, and she was wearing a purple v-neck and ripped jeans short shorts. I was pulled out of my thoughts by someone calling my name. "Huh, what?" I asked. "I said hi. Are you okay Jack?" Kim asked me. "The real question is are YOU okay?" I asked her. "Yeah, why?" She asked. "Why aren't you sweating? It's like 109 degrees, and there's not one head of sweat on you!" I said.
I put my hand on her cheek, ignoring the sparks that shot through my hand when it made contact with her face. "Your body is completely cool!" I exclaimed. She shrugged and felt her forehead. "I'm just not hot." She explained. She then sat on the ground and pulled out her phone. I lay down next to her and rested my head on her lap. She smiled and ran her hand through my hair.
Kim's POV
I pulled out my phone as Jack lay down next to me. He laid his head on my lap, and I felt those very familiar sparks I feel every time we touch. I smiled and ran my hand through his soft hair. After about ten minutes, I was starting to feel the heat. I checked the temperature on my phone, and saw that it was 110 degrees.
"Jack." I said. "Hm?" He answered. "Get up." I told him. "Why? It's too hot to move." He whined. "Go get me some ice cream. Please?" I asked him. He sighed and got up. He picked up his shirt from the bench and pulled it on. He grabbed his phone and wallet and headed out of the dojo.
"What's up with you and Jack?" Milton asked me. "Nothing. Why?" I responded. "It's just that, he was lying on your lap and you didn't seem to mind. And when you asked him to go get you ice cream, he just went. Only couples do that kind if thing." He explained. "Jack and I are just friends. Even if I did like him, he would never like me back." I said. I realized what I just revealed and slapped my hand over my mouth. "You like Jack!" Milton exclaimed. "Don't tell anyone!" I begged. "I won't. Your secret is safe with me Kim." Milton said. I sighed.
"What secret?" Someone asked. I turned my head to see Jack standing at the door, holding a bag of ice cream. I tensed up and turned to Milton before looking back at Jack. "No secret. No one was talking about a secret. What are you talking about? Whaaat?" I said, my voice going higher. "Kim, you are a terrible liar." He said.
He walked over to me and sat down next to me. He pulled out three cartons of ice cream and handed one to Milton. He handed me the other one, and kept one for himself. He pulled out three spoons and passed them around. I opened up my carton and started eating. "So what do you guys want to do today?" Milton asked. "It's too hot to do anything." Jack replied. "We could go to my house and watch movies. Then we could have a sleepover." I suggested. "That sounds cool. Can Julie come?" Milton asked. "Sure." I replied. "Why don't we invite Grace and Jerry too?" Jack asked. "Okay. We could have a group sleepover. That cool?" I asked. "Awesome. Let me call Jules." Milton said whilst pulling out his phone. "I'll call Grace." I said. "And I'll call Jerry." Jack finished.
After making our calls we all agreed to meet at my house in fifteen minutes. We would stop at Milton's house on the way there to pick up his stuff. Halfway to Milton's house, my legs were starting to hurt. I was slowing down, and the heat was unbearable. "Jack." I whined. "Yes Kim?" He answered. I stuck my arms into the air like a little kid. "Carry me." I demanded. He sighed before bending down, so that I could jump onto his back. I wrapped my legs around his torso, whilst he placed his hands on my thighs to keep me on his back. I wrapped my arms around his neck, and hid my face in his back. He chuckled before continuing to walk. I felt him stop after five minutes, and I guessed that we were at Milton's house. After a couple of minutes, we kept moving again. He put me down as we reached my house. I opened the door and ran straight for my fridge. I stuck my face in the fridge and stayed there. I felt someone pull me away from the fridge and close it. I turned around to see Jack laughing at me.
I heard the doorbell ring, and I opened the door to see my friends standing there. They pushed me aside and ran into the house. "Nice to see you guys too." I said sarcastically. I walked to my living room where everybody was already seated. I sat next to Jack on the couch before resting my head on his shoulder. "Okay. What are we going to do?" Grace asked. "Let's watch a movie." I said. We picked out a movie that everyone liked at hit play.
Jack's POV
Halfway through the movie, I looked around the living room. Grace was on Jerry's lap, Milton and Julie were snuggling, and Kim was sitting in between my legs with her back resting on my chest. I cautiously wrapped my arms around her waist, and then I felt her snuggle into my chest. I smiled to myself and continued to watch the movie.
After the movie ended, we all decided to order a pizza. Kim called the pizza place, whilst the rest of the gang went upstairs to change. I waited back for Kim. I saw her walk out of the kitchen and I stood up from the couch. "Where did everyone go?" she asked. "Upstairs to change." I replied. "Oh. We should probably change too." She said. I nodded in agreement before starting up the stairs after her. I walked into her room with her and opened up of one of the drawers in her room. I pulled out a pair of plaid flannel pajama pants, and a white t-shirt.
I came out of her bathroom after I finished changing, and sat on Kim's bed. When she came out of her closet, she was wearing a pair of pink, plaid, flannel pajama pants, and one of my t-shirts. I smiled at the way that my t-shirt was huge on her, but she still made it look cute. She sat on the bed next to me as our friends piled into her room.
Grace and Jerry sat on the floor, whilst Milton and Julie took over her couch. "Let's play a game." Grace suggested. "What game?" Julie asked. "How about we play Questions? But instead of asking questions about each other, we can ask other people questions about the others." Jerry suggested. The question was answered with a chorus of 'Sures' and 'Why nots'. "I'll start." Milton said. "Kim, what is Jack's favourite color." Milton asked. "Easy. Turquoise." She answered. Milton looked at me for conformation. "She's right." I said with a nod of my head. Then it was Kim's turn. "Grace, what is Julie allergic to?" she asked. "Nuts." Grace answered. "Correct." Julie said with a smile. "Jerry, what is Milton's middle name?" Grace asked. "Um...David?" he replied uncertainly. "You remembered." Milton said. "I got a hard one. Jack, what is Kim's Great-Great-Grandmother's full name?" he asked mischievously. "Carol Anne Mitchell." I replied without hesitation. Jerry looked at with wide eyes, and I smirked. "He's right." Kim said. I smiled and wrapped one of my arms around her waist, bringing her closer to me. After about fifteen minutes of playing the game, I heard the doorbell ring. Kim jumped up and ran downstairs. I heard her open the door and I got up from the bed. "Where are you going?" Julie asked me. "She forgot her wallet." I said with a smile. I grabbed my wallet off of the table and went to meet her downstairs. As I came down the stairs, I heard the delivery guy flirting with Kim. I shook my head and smiled, knowing that I would have to play the 'over-protective best-friend' role again. "Hey Kimmy, you forgot your wallet." I said whilst walking towards her. The delivery guy looked at me before giving me a glare and smiling at Kim. "Thanks Jack." She said. She took my wallet from my hand and paid the guy. "How about you and me get together sometime babe." The guy said. She laughed before making a straight face. "No." she said sternly. "Bye." I said before shutting the door. "Nice one." I said. "Thanks. And thank you for coming down. He was really giving me the creeps." She said. I took the pizzas from her hands and walked up the stairs. "PIZZA'S HERE!" I yelled up the stairs. I walked into Kim's room and set the pizza down on the table. "Okay, Pineapple for Millie, Cheese for Jace, and one Meat Lovers for Kim and me." I said whilst distributing our food.
Kim's POV
I jumped onto my bed after we finished eating our food and Jack climbed onto the bed next to me. Milton and Julie had already fallen asleep on the couch, and Grace and Jerry went into the spare room. I don't even want to know what they're doing in there. Jack wrapped his arms around my waist, whilst I snuggled into his chest. He kissed my forehead before closing his eyes. "Goodnight Kimmy-Bear." He whispered. "Goodnight Jack-Rabbit." I said. What a perfect way to end the day. Sleeping in Jack's arms, I could definitely get used to this.
Haii Sparklers! Well, there is my newest one-shot. I didn't want to make it "KICK CENTERED" so I added a bit of Jace and Millie. Hope you liked it. Make sure to R&R. Don't Stop Dreamin' Live, Love, Sparkles! Baii!
