Just A Kiss

Julie never really understood her feelings for Mike; Mike never understood his feelings for Julie. Were they friends who flirted, friends who were just friends and that's it or friends that were supposed to be something more? Did she want something more? Did he only want to be friends?

"Oh, hey Jules" Mike said as the rest of the Burners and Jacob stopped their previous conversation all with guilty looks on their faces.

"Hey, guys, what's going on?" Julie asked suspiciously.

"Were just talking about new modifications we want done to our cars" said Chuck trying to coming up with a lie.

"Sure… so any new attacks happen when I was gone" Julie asked to anyone of the Burners.

"Same old, same old any new plans for attacks on MotorCity?" Mike answered.

"Nope. Same old, same old…." Said Julie followed by a really long pause.

'This is so awkward. Why has it been getting so weird? Nothing's happening between us. Were just friends and that's it! I wonder what they were really talking about before I came. Hehe Mike has a nice smile….. NO! Just friends nothing more.' Julie thinks while spacing out and trying to catch every other word the gang is saying.

"So who wants some organic muffins?" asked Jacob killing Julies spacing out.

'What's wrong with Julie? Everything seemed to be going fine. Did I say something? Is there someone else?' Mike was thinking while the gang was digging into the muffins. 'Do I like Julie? I'm not sure, yeah she's pretty but what if she doesn't feel the same way about me!'

"Hey Mike you got to try these!" said Chuck as he shoved on into hands.

"Don't you guys think eating this might kill us?" asked Mike quietly so Jacob wouldn't hear.

"I think if we don't, Jacob might!" said Dutch sarcastically

Everyone laughed really hard. Not like one of those fake laughs where people tried too hard but an actual laugh that everyone seemed to be laughing at the others laughs.

Buzz, Buzz! Claire's contact screen popped up.

"Hey Claire, what's up?" Julie asked as the rest of the gang was still eating their organic muffins.

"Julie, it's about the secret I shared with you and can't talk about it when you're there." Claire emphasized the there meaning the Burners Garage.

"I'll be there in a jiff. Ok?" Julie said

"Fine, but be quick. I'm freaking out!" said Claire.

"Ok calm down I'll be right there" Claire's contact screen disappeared and Julie started getting up.

"Everything Ok?" asked Chuck kind of strangely.

"Yeah everything's fine, just girl stuff." Julie said

Everyone ohed and just didn't want to know what was going on.

"Be careful." Said Mike when the guys were telling Jacob how good his muffins were good.

"Always am….. But thanks." Julie said with a flirty smile and Mike smiled back.

On her drive to Claries' Julie kept spacing out but even though she spaced out while driving she still drives pretty good.

'Mike smiled back. What does a smile mean? Does that mean he cares about me when he said BE CAREFUL or was it just a normal BE CAREFUL?'

When Julie entered Claries' pod she was franticly pacing which was very weird for Claire because to Julie she was pretty sane.

"Hey Claire, what's going on?" Julie asks.

"Julie I think I might like Chuck!" Claire blurts out.

"Really?" Julie said kind of sarcastically. "I did not know because the last time you told me was like only five hours ago."

"Well now I know I like him!" Clarie says while clearly freaking out.

"Well why don't you go on a date with him?" Julie says

"Just the two of us would be weird" Claire paused "I know why don't you ask Mike to come, cause clearly you two have a thing." said kind of sassily.

"No."

"Why not?"

"That would just be weird, and plus it's you and Chuck that are going on date!" Julie said

"Well then you and Mike can go on a date!" Claire said all happily "Maybe now you guys finally will be a couple because it's about time!"

"Sorry Claire I don't think so ..." Julie started saying but got cut off by Claire.

"Well then can you take me down there so I can ask Chuck if he wants to go out?"

"Fine... whatever but no double date."

Meanwhile while Julie was in Deluxe the rest of the Burners were down in MotorCity continuing their conversation before Julie came.

"So Texas any special lady in your life?" Asked Dutch.

"Nope Texas is lonely right now." Said Texas kind of sadly

"Yeah me too buddy. Me too." Said Dutch

"Hey I'm lonely too guys" Chuck whined

"I think we're all lonely guys." Mike said

"Mike we all know you and Julie have a thing going on." Said Dutch

"No. Julie and I are just friends. That's it. Nothing more, nothing less."

"Sure." Everyone said at once including Jacob.

The drive back to the garage was really short or was to Julie. She just wondered how this whole Claire and Chuck thing was going to go down.

"Hey, you guys all remember Claire right?" Julie asked as her and Claire were walking up.

There was a series of heys and what's up but to chuck he was lost in her beauty, he couldn't even say anything.

"Well Claire wanted to come down to ask-" Julie started but was cut off by Claire

"Hey Chuck can I talk to you..." Claire said with a big smile

Mike had to nudge Chuck to snap him back to this universe.

"Huh oh yeah sure..." chuck said also with a big smile

A few minutes passed by when Mike came over to Julie.

"What did she want to ask him?" Mike asked Julie

"Oh Claire just wanted ask Chuck-" cut off by Claire again

"Ok so Julie and I will see you two at Antonio's at 6 tonight." Said Claire still smiling at Chuck

"Ok see you ladies then." Chuck said all with a big grin on his face.

"Wait what!" Mike and Julie said at the same time

"We're going on a double date." Chuck said all excitedly

"Umm..." Julie paused "I thought we already talked about this." Julie said to Claire.

"I'm lost can someone please fill me in." Mike asked all dumb stricken

"I just told you we're going on a double date, Claire and me and you and Julie." Chuck said all quickly

"Well now you know, so Julie and I will see you guys later BYE." Claire said

"But uh-" Mike began to argue but the girls were already getting to the car.
