Walking to Jinx's apartment I thought it would be a good time to ask more about the banquet and her plus one.

"So did you really forget about the museum banquet?"

"Yes, I've been so busy"

"With?"

"You." She answered quick.

"Oh, so who is your plus one?"

"The professor is choosing for me. He doesn't exactly approve of the idea of me and you."

"I see."

"But if I could pick it would be you... You should just come anyway. Maybe if he sees you all dressed up he

will change his mind."

"Then what about the person he brings for you."

"I didn't think that far ahead, but please come." I opened my mouth to protest. But Rachel reached up on her tippy toes to kiss me. "If you come, there will be more of those." She sang teasingly.

"Fine, I will come." Rachel reached into her backpack and gave him the plus one invite. I see you there at seven." Rachel smiled happily and ran up the steps to the apartment.

It was seven o'clock and I was still at home, looking for the right tie. I had a nice black tuxedo on and now I just needed the perfect tie. Rachel is probably looking for me there right now, and thats when the phone rang. It must be her.

"Hey."

"Hello Jason, so I have a mission for you."

"Not now Carl, i'm in the middle of something."

"Oh I know. Don't worry this job should be easy since you're already going to my desired location."

"How did you know I was going to the museum?"

"I know everything when it comes to my employees." he replies, "I want you too steal money, jewelry, and whatever else you can, I atleast want $2,000 worth of stuff got it?"

"I can't. If i get caught..."

"Then don't get caught." Carl said cutting me off before I finished. "Oh and tell rachel I said hi." carl hung up, and I slammed my phone on the kitchen counter breaking into two pieces.

"Bastard." I grumbled to myself. I finally found a blue tie and I was on my way to the museum. By the time I arrived it was 8 o'clock, hopefully Rachel won't be too mad by how late I was. I entered the banquet seeing more than a hundred people. They were all dressed in extravagant clothing trying to outdo each other. I went to the top of the stairs hoping to find Rachel easier and it was. I spotted her right away, with her long purple hair standing out. She was sitting herself in front of an painting. She was just staring at it so intrigued, till some guy came and sat by her and handed her a drink. It was probably the professors plus one for her. I steaming with anger and jealousy flowed through me like waves. I went down to where she was.

"Hey Rachel!"

"Jason, you made it. I'm so glad." We hugged each other, and before she pulled away to introduce me to the guy staring at us, I pulled her back in to give her kiss on the lips to show that Rachel was mine. It wasn't much of a kiss since Rachel pulled out of it and gave me a strange face.

"Garth, this is Jason. Jason this is Garth. Garth goes to our school, and hes plays on both the water polo and swim team." Rachel said impressed with Garth.

"It's nice to meet you." Garth said sticking a hand out for Jason to shake, but he kept his hands in his pockets and just glared and him. Rachel was in the middle of them and cleared her throat to and nudged me.

"Nice to meet you too." I grumbled keeping my hand in my pocket.

"Well okay then. Garth and I were just looking at this painting and trying to figure out the message behind it. It looks quite complicated don't you think?" Rachel asked me taking a seat next to garth on the bench. Rachel signaled me to sit down with them and I huffed and sat down. I noticed Garth moving his hand closer and closer till his touched Rachel's and when it did, she didn't even move it. I was furious.

"To me it looks like a mess and a kindergartener did this."

"Jason!" Rachel said in shock. Then garth took it another step and put his arm around Rachel, and she did nothing again. That was the last straw. I stood up and pushed garth.

"Get your hands off of her."

"Who dude chill." I pushed him again harder.

"Jason what are you doing?" And I turned to her mad at her too.

"How are you just going to let him put his arm around you, how are you just going to let him hold your hand."

"I... I"

"Yeah thats what I thought."

"Hey don't talk to her like that." Garth said grabbing my shoulder and turned me around, but that, was Garth first mistake. When I turned around I full on punched Garth in the eye, and Garth fell to the floor. Rachel gasped.

"What the hell is the matter with you." She yelled at me, as Rachel ran to Garth's side and caressed his eye. She took some ice from her cup and put it on his eye. When she turned around I was gone. I was outside the museum leaving to my apartment.

"Jason!" I heard Rachel yelled and I kept walking. "Jason, come back." I stopped walking , but did not turn around. I heard her high heel footsteps running over to me. "Is everything alright? I've never seen you act that way." She said in a soft voice.

"Yeah everything is fine, except for that guy having his hands all over you." Rachel put her hands on her hips.

"His hands were not all over me."

"And you just let him."

"I know and I'm sorry, but that doesn't mean you get to go out to punch the poor guy."

"Rachel I want it to just be me and you. No else."

"I know, I know. I shouldn't of let it happen. But you have to admit You were jealous."

"I was not jealous."

"Yes you were." She said teasingly

"I want you to be my girlfriend." I said and Rachel's joking and teasing manner dropped, and things become serious.

"Jason, I don't think we can be anything then what we are now, till you tell me where you work. I mean thats kinda big thing to hide."

"So then what are we right now? Cause if I remember correctly we almost made love in my apartment." Rachel was taken aback by this, that I would bring that situation up again.

"I stopped that from happening. I can't believe you right now." She said now angered and turning around back to the museum, but I ran up to her and turned her back around.

" I don't want to fight Rachel. Everything has been going so well between us."

"Is there an us?" She questioned.

"If you want there to be." She didn't answer it was like she was frozen. After a couple of minutes of her contemplating what to do she ran up to me and put arms around me and kissed me.

"I really do like you, it just hard cause..."

"I know. I will tell you when the time is right, but right now it is just best for the both of us if you don't know." She nodded in agreement in my shoulder. "Did I mention, you look quite ravishing this evening."

"Oh? Why thank you Mr. Todd. You clean up quite nicely, but can we get out of here I really don't want to stay in these clothes anymore." She said referring to her long strapless dress and heels.

"Well I can help with that." I said with a wink.

"Thanks, but I'm very much capable of getting undressed by myself." She replied. When we got to my apartment it was about 11 o'clock. I gave Rachel a white shirt of mine and some sweatpants, and without saying anything she went to the guest room. I wanted her to sleep with me in my bed so bad but it was probably best we slept in separate rooms. I went to go check on her and she was sound asleep. So now it was time for me to get to work. I dressed in my red x uniform and went back to the museum. I thought the best way to steal was to go to the place where they took their coats at the entrance of the museum. I snuck into the room where all the coats were at, and started searching pockets. I found watches, earing , and so much more. This job got easier and easier. Once I was done I went to the hideout to drop the stolen goods off, and go back home. I snuck into the house, and changed my clothes fast, and went back to the living room for some tv time.

"Where did you go?" I jumped up be surprised. Rachel was staring at me arms crossed with a suspicious face leaning against the wall.

"I went to work."

"Oh." Rachel said rolling her eyes and going back to the guest room. I huffed, this could be harder than I thought.
