The girls were the only ones at the lemon when Nikki eyed the hicky on Scarlet's neck. "So what all happened last night?"
Scarlet blushed. "What are you talking about?"
"Oh, come on Scarlet. We can all see that hicky on your neck hon." Caitlin said.
Scarlet moved her hair out of the way. "I was trying to hide it."
"Everyone knows there is no possible way to hide a hicky with just hair. You need makeup." Caitlin reached in her purse and grabbed some foundation and press powder.
"Now, what exactly did you and Jude do last night?" Jen pressed.
"Well, let's just say I saw Jude's peace sign tattoo." Scarlet said blushing.
The girls gasped. Caitlin stopped applying makeup and looked at her. They were all looking at her.
"So, tell us about it." Nikki suggested. Caitlin resumed applying makeup.
"Well, we went to see a movie first, then he brought me to his house where he gave me this promise ring." She paused to let them see the ring then took it off to let them see the inside. They all awed. She put the ring back on and continued. "Then his mom made me this awesome dinner and birthday cake. It was so good! Then we went to my house and you can use your imagination to piece together what happened next."
"Didn't your parent's hear you?" Jen asked.
"No, they are at this benefit that lasted all night and then they stayed with friends and they won't be back until tomorrow." Scarlet replied.
"There you go, it's all gone." Caitlin said.
"Thanks Caitlin." Scarlet smiled.
At Underground Videos a similar conversation was being discussed.
"So you did it feel good?" Jonesy asked.
"Heck yeah!" Jude replied.
Wyatt looked uncomfortable. "Um. Can we change the topic? I bet Scarlet wouldn't like us talking about this."
"Don't be so uptight Wyatt. It's only sex." Jonesy said.
"Maybe I shouldn't be talking about this with the guys." Jude thought. He quickly changed the subject. "I heard you got a new job, Jonesy."
"Yea, I work at the pharmacist now. I had to sign this stupid paper that said I wouldn't talk about other people's conditions."
"Oh really?" Wyatt was interested.
"Yea, I think I am going to try and keep this job."
"Well, that sure is a change." Wyatt said amazed.
"I'm going to find Scarlet." Jude announced.
Jonesy made a kissy face. "Can't keep your lips off her?"
Jude blushed. "Kind of." Then he walked off to find his dudette. He found her sitting on a couch in Grind Me with a coffee in her hand, her head laid back, earphones in her ears. He sat next to her. She looked at him. "What are you listening to?"
"The CD Wyatt made with me. Here you listen." She gave the headphones to him, wrapped her arms around his torso, and laid her head on his chest and listen to his heartbeat.
He let her guitar playing wash over him, then a voice of an angel started to sing. He was truly amazed. The song finished, a new one started. It was her cover of Hey Jude from The Beatles. He looked down at her. "It's beautiful."
She smiled. "Thanks Jude." She kissed him, then put her head back on his chest. He listened to all of the songs. When it clicked off, he asked her. "Hey, wanna go to my place. My parents are at work."
"Yeah, let's go."

After they put their clothes back on, they went downstairs sat on the couch. Jude laid down, taking up the whole couch. Scarlet looked at the movie rack. "You wanna watch Rocky Horror Picture Show?"
"Sure."
She popped in the movie. "Scoot." She said. He moved only a little. "There you go."
She laid down in front of him. "Thanks." He laid his arm over her hips. "No prob Shnookums."
