Layla and Jackie's Story: "Kick"
The scene opens. There are two people engaged in a fencing match. The match is over, and they both remove their protective gear. A dark-haired woman looks at her fencing partner with a special twinkle in her eye. Her blond companion looks on knowing that today luck is on her side. Certainly, these are the elements for the making of a new romance, but will the girls act on their first impressions or will they step back and allow love to slip out of their hands?
The Couple: Layla and Jackie shared a passion for fencing and met when they revealed themselves to each other after a practice match at their university. Jackie was immediately attracted to this stranger and was sure that the feeling was mutual, but Layla only knew that she wanted to reach out and touch the woman without truly understanding whatever for. She was engaged to be married, and having amorous feelings for a woman certainly was not a part of the plan, but the attraction felt good and welcomed and she knew she would explore more. These were the beginnings of Kayla and Jackie's romance in the first season of the new series Kick. It is a romance that grew on Hope Street, one that encounters many road blocks, but is nonetheless destined to go down on record as being one of the greatest on-screen romances of our time.
