Kylie & Jack 1: Humble Beginnings

57. Lunatic

Monday 8th Jul, 5 PM

Even though she was exhausted, Kylie let the girls come over to demand their precious details, twenty–four hours after Jack's return home from the Sydney stag do over the weekend.

Kylie told Jack to just be in another part of the house, trying not to expose the truth behind her girlfriends' visit and unable to stop giggling. All this did was make Jack dig in his heels and smirk.

"Jack! I'm serious, just go have a long shower or something, please?"

"But why, Wombat? What's so secret, huh?" He was being a smartarse because he had a pretty strong suspicion that the girls were coming over for what he now called 'an Ali special' – sex talk.

"Hey Kylz! We're coming in, it's pissing down out here!"

"Yeah, we better not walk in and catch you two cooking up a Brookes bakery in here!"

Jack cackled listening to her friends ambush them in the hallway, while Kylie snorted loudly, blushed hard and pressed her forehead into Jack's chest.

They were met at the end of the hallway to the living room with an accompanying symphony of cackling.

"Oh my, is this going to be a show and tell, Kylie?" Loz cackled, her tongue wedged between her teeth.

"Fuck, why didn't I think of that?" Ali whined to Loz.

"Because for a perve you really only like to hear about other people's sex lives than see it." Sophie said with a roll of her eyes.

"Ok ... I'm gonna go ... be somewhere else. Let you sheilas do whatever it is you do ..." Jack said slowly and with a shameless smirk too. He knew they had come over to talk sex and by the sounds of things, they had broken Kylie at long last.

Jack had no idea that these four women had shared very intimate details about all of their partners to date. They even knew about Luke and that was only after Kylie got away from him and was reunited with the girls. But they knew nothing about Jack and they knew that meant something pretty incredible.

"Aw c'mon mate, don't you wanna hear Kylz talk about the best she's ever had?"

"SOPHIE!" Kylie yelled and falling into a fit of laughter.

"I dunno – I mean it depends who her best is," Jack said, wrapping his arm around Kylie's waist and giving her a firm squeeze.

"Oh good point, Jacko," Loz said sardonically, pretending to think.

"I mean, I'm pretty sure Kylz said it was some bloke she met in Italy, right?" Sophie added, unable to keep a straight face.

"Nah, nah – I'm sure Kylz said it was Speedy Gonzalez, you know, Aaron –" Ali cackled.

"– fuck, I forgot you used to call him that!" Kylie was bent double, utterly hysterical and seal clapping through her rasping breaths. Jack, meanwhile, looked confused.

"Who's Aaron and let me guess ..." Jack said, now leaning against the wall, arms and legs folded, the cockiest smirk on his face.

"He's Kylie's ex from ... shit, when were you together?" Ali said, wiping tears from her eyes and turning to Kylie.

"Oh, uh ... we hooked up in our last year of uni, or the year before maybe. Together maybe six or seven months."

"And you called him Speedy Gonzalez because ..." Jack asked again. Everyone could see he was enjoying this way too much – and it only fuelled the girls suspicions about him.

"Because ..." Kylie started to giggle again. She stumbled sideways and straight into Jack. Kylie hugged him and tempered her laughter long enough to say, "because when we had sex he was in and out before I knew what was happening."
