When she began to thank everyone, they all said that it was all Jack's idea. Kim walked over to her brother and asked him to follow her. She led him o...t of the pool area and into the house.Shielded from the others, Kim threw her arms around his neck and kissed him. She pushed her tongue into his mouth and sucked his tongue when he did the same."Thank you so much Jack, this is the best birthday present you could have gotten me."The two hugged for a moment longer and returned to the rest of their. At least not tonight. My cousin Lou is on his way over to help me reline the brakes on my truck. He should be here any minute now and then of course there is Tammy. I have no idea when she will walk in. I can't help you out tomorrow because I'll be helping my dad re-roof his barn.

She'll never know."I walked. "Kevin," I laughed. "Do you know what party you're at?" Hags?" he asked uncertainly."Which stands for?" I raised an eyebrow. I shouldn't tease, but this was kind of fun."I didn't know it stood for anything," he admitted, scratching his beard. "I just thought it was playful self-deprecation, like the Old Bastards Club. Hardly any of them are old ... I didn't ask about their parents though." So you came to HAGS to see if it was studded with young hotties?" I laughed."No," he shook his head,. We were trudging along about half way there when he broke into my fragmented train of thought."Gerri okay?" he asked."Um ... yeah, I ... I think so." Is she upset about breaking up with the guy from back home?"
