as i woke up in my bed, i quickly got myself ready for the day. i made my into the connected bathroom where i brushed my teeth, took a shower, washed my face and headed to my walk in closet where i changed into sweats.

after that i made my way into my kitchen only to find my sister, kourtney, sitting in my kitchen counter. i stopped in my tracks and raised my eyebrows. "kourt? what the hell are you doing?" i said as i approached my kitchen.

kourtney looked up from her phone, a smirk playing at her lips. "is that any way to greet your older sister?" she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

i rolled my eyes. "how'd you even get in here?"

kourtney chuckled, setting her phone down. "i have my ways." she crossed her legs, looking me up and down. "nice outfit." she said, her tone dripping with sarcasm.

i glared at her, feeling the irritation creeping up inside me. "you didn't answer my question." i said, crossing my arms over my chest. "what are you doing here?"

kourtney shrugged, still wearing that infuriating smirk on her face. "well i missed the housewarming party, so i came to check the place out."

i rolled my eyes again. "and you couldn't have called first?" i said, walking over to the fridge to grab a bottle of water.

kourtney chuckled again, clearly enjoying getting under my skin. "where's the fun in that?" she said, tapping her manicured nails on the counter.

"you're infuriating, you know that?" i said as i leaned back against the counter, taking a sip of my water.

"i've been told a time or two." kourtney said with a smirk. she studied me for a moment, her expression serious now. "i really came here to talk about you and your new boy toy."

at the mention of callum, i felt a pang of defensiveness. "what about him?" i said, my voice guarded.

"don't get all defensive on me," kourtney said, her eyes narrowing. "i just want to know what exactly you're doing with him."

i raised an eyebrow, feeling my irritation rising. "what do you mean, what am i doing with him?" i said, my voice taking on a sharper edge.

kourtney rolled her eyes, clearly annoyed. "don't play dumb, kacey. you know exactly what i mean. i saw pictures of you two making out all over the internet."

i sighed, feeling a mixture of annoyance and embarrassment at the mention of the photos. "yeah, so what?" i said, trying to keep my cool.

kourtney scoffed, shaking her head. "so what? so what?! do you have any idea how this looks? you were just engaged to jacob like two minutes ago, and now you're already hooking up with another guy?"

i felt my jaw clench, my irritation bubbling up inside me. "first of all, i'm not 'hooking up' with him. we've only been on a few dates. and secondly, why do you care about jacob? not like you or anyone else in our family liked him or us together." i snapped.

kourtney's eyes flashed with anger. "you know why we didn't like him. he was no good for you." she said, her voice taking on a harsh tone.

i scoffed, "like you know what's good for someone."

kourtney glared at me, clearly stung by my words. "you're acting like a child, kacey. why can't you admit that jacob was a bad influence on you?"

"because it's in the past! it no longer matters!" i said while shaking my head.

kourtney rolled her eyes again. "it does matter because you need to learn from your mistakes! do you even know anything about this new guy you're fooling around with?"

i sighed, "kourt, when you married travis out of nowhere i wasn't questioning you like this. and i'd love it if you'd stop."

kourtney's eyes widened at my words, clearly taken aback. "that's different and you know it. how dare you compare my marriage to your little fling?!" she said, her voice raising.

"oh please," i scoffed. "you and travis got engaged after what, like a month after you started dating? that's not exactly a slow and steady relationship either."

kourtney opened her mouth to retort, but then stopped herself, clearly trying to reign in her temper. she took a deep breath before speaking again. "at least i'm in a stable relationship. you're jumping from one guy to the next like a ping-pong ball."

"i am not!" i sighed before coming to realization that i didn't owe kourtney any kind of explanation. "you can leave actually." i said, my voice calm and steady.

kourtney looked taken aback, clearly not expecting me to kick her out. "you're kicking me out?" she said, her voice filled with disbelief.

"were you ever even invited in? no you weren't." i said as i walked to the front door and opened it.

kourtney huffed. "fine, i'm going." she said, hopping off the counter and walking towards the door. as she passed me, she gave me one last disapproving look before walking out.

i closed the door behind her and sighed before pulling out my phone and texting the other person who always has a hard time with kourtney. kim.

KIM'S HOME
calabasas, california
11:15am

i walked up to kim's front door and rang the bell. moments later, kim opened the door and immediately pulled me into a hug. "come in, come in." she said, ushering me inside.

as we walked into her massive living room, kim motioned for me to sit down on one of the many couches. "i swear, kourtney is always butting her nose in everyone's business. what did she say this time?" she said, sitting down across from me.

i sighed. "basically she was telling me that i'm jumping from guy to guy and i'm too young and irresponsible and other bullshit like that." i said, feeling frustrated all over again. "the jumping from guy to guy thing was completely out of line. all of my serious exes were brent faiyaz, andrei iosivas and jacob." i said whilst shaking my head.

kim rolled her eyes. "classic kourtney. i swear, she always has to find something to judge you about. as if she's a saint or something." she paused for a moment, studying me. "so i have to ask. are you dating this callum guy? i saw the articles."

i felt my cheeks flush, feeling a little embarrassed. "yeah, i've been on a few dates with him. but it's not that serious yet." i said, trying to downplay it.

kim raised an eyebrow, a smirk playing at her lips. "a few dates, huh? you guys looked pretty intimate in those pictures."

i felt my cheeks flush even more. "ugh, don't remind me. i hate those pictures. they make it look like more than it really is."

kim chuckled. "well, you know how the paparazzi is. they'll twist anything and everything to make it look more scandalous." she paused for a moment. "but you know, you do look good together."

i couldn't help but smile at that. "yeah, he's not bad," i said, trying to play it cool. "but we're just having fun for now. we're not committing to anything serious yet."

kim nodded. "that's the smart thing to do. you don't always have to jump into a serious relationship right away. you're young, you should enjoy yourself. don't listen to kourt."

i sighed, feeling a weight lift off my shoulders. "yeah, you're right. i'm tired of her judgements. she's always acting like she knows what's best for me, like her life is so perfect all the time."

kim chuckled. "believe me, i know. she's always trying to tell me how to live my life too. but you know her, she just can't help but give her unsolicited advice."

i laughed softly before checking my phone. kourtney had taken this to another level.

ARTICLE

posted march 13, 2024 by valerie een

as many of us know, kacey jenner and callum turner were just spotted late last night 3/12/24 lip locking outside of nobu sushi.

neither of the parties have spoken out about the recent spotting but an anonymous source has told us that the two aren't serious but instead have gone on a few dates.

what's next from this new couple? will either turner or jenner speak up?

~~

"are you kidding me! 'an anonymous source' that's key for kourtney!" i yelled out to kim as i scanned the article.

kim rolled her eyes. "ugh, i wouldn't be surprised. she's always leaking things to the tabloids. she loves drama."

i groaned and threw my phone down onto the couch cushions. "this is ridiculous. i hate how people are so obsessed with my life. this is exactly why i try to keep my relationships private."

kim nodded in sympathy. "i know, it's hard to have any kind of personal life when you're in the spotlight all the time. but you can't let kourtney or anyone else dictate who you date or how you live your life. you have to do what makes you happy."

i sighed, feeling a mixture of frustration and determination. "you're right. i know you're right. i just hate that i always have to deal with this tabloid bullshit."

"i know you do," kim said, reaching over and placing a comforting hand on my arm. "but unfortunately, it comes with the territory. everyone's always going to be interested in your love life."

i nodded, feeling a pang of sadness. "it just sucks sometimes, you know? i wish i could have a normal relationship without it turning into a huge spectacle for the world to see and judge."

kim gave me a sympathetic smile. "i know it's not fair. and it's not going to change anytime soon. you just have to learn to tune out the noise and focus on what makes you happy."

i took a deep breath. "you're right. i need to stop letting other people's opinions get to me. but it's easier said than done."
