Chapter 10: The Next Day

Julie woke up the next morning and walked downstairs. Steve was sitting in the living room and she smiled.

"I have bagels," He said, "And an apology."

"The bagels are necessary," She said taking the bag from him, "But not the apology. You didn't do anything wrong Steve."

"Didn't I?" He asked. She shook her head.

"It was late, we'd been goofing around all night," She shrugged, he smiled. "It was a fluke."

"Yeah," He said, "Great, so you go back today right?" She nodded.

"Have to," She sighed, "School and hockey and," She looked down, "Other stuff."

"Right," He said, "Other stuff." She sighed and hugged him closely.

"You know I love you right?" She said softly, burying her face in his chest.

"Yeah," He said softly, "I know."

"And I'm gonna come home a lot more now, cause of the baby, Jaime and I talked about it, and I'm not doing the every other holidays thing anymore," She babbled, "I'll do all holidays here and vacations with her, so we can be best friends again right?"

"We never stopped being best friends," He said, "When I meet this Tammy girl, I may have to fight her for it though." She laughed.

"Let's eat these," She said, and walked into the kitchen. "Where's Taylor?"

"Sleeping probably," He shrugged, "She doesn't get up before like 3 on weekends."

"We have something in common," Julie said, "Because without Java, I'd be lost."

"I know," Steve smirked, "I've seen it." She laughed.

In the morning Elena stretched and walked down stairs.

"Morning Elena," Jimmy smiled, cooking eggs. She smiled. "How are you feeling?"

"Horrible," She mumbled, she looked down and then remembered, "Oh my God! Jimmy I'm so sorry," He laughed, "No I threw myself at you." She put her palm against her forehead. "And I promised you that I wouldn't do that again, I'm so sorry."

"You did," He said, "Everything's fine, Ellie, I just, I need you to not tell Julie."

"Why did you like it?" She teased him.

"Kissing you has never been a chore, Elena," He laughed, "You said you loved me."

"I do," She nodded, "I mean, you were my first real boyfriend, the first boy I ever kissed," She smiled, "I guess there's this part of me that wanted us to end up like Rick and Cassie." He smiled. Brad wandered in from the pool house.

"That bed is so comfortable," He said, "No wonder Scottie moved in here, um hi."

"Hi," Ellie said. He stared at her, "Everything OK Brad?"

"Yeah," He said awkwardly, "Um bathroom?"

"Through there," Jimmy pointed.

"I'm gonna go shower," Ellie smiled, "I'll see you later." She stood up and walked upstairs.

"Elena slept here," Brad said.

"Yup," Jimmy nodded. "That she did."

"Are you and her," Brad said, "I mean, I know you have Julie but,"

"No," Jimmy said, "Not anymore, we went out in middle school."

"Sweet," Brad nodded. "Do you think that she'd go out with me?"

"Probably not," Jimmy shook his head. "And you probably don't want to, Ellie's a little bit on the wild side." Brad nodded.

"You are so gorgeous," Scooter whispered and kissed Kelly's neck as she woke up in the bed in the Waldorf Astoria.

"Mm," She said, "You're not so bad yourself."

"So this was a good plan?" He smiled. She nodded and kissed him.

"This was perfect," She said softly, "I love you so much."

"I can't believe there was a time when I thought three days without touching you was too long," He whispered, "God, a month is way too long."

"I don't want to leave," She whispered and kissed him.

"Then don't," He smiled, "We'll just drop out of school, and then stay in this bed until we come into our trust funds."

"Isn't yours contingent on your diploma?" She giggled.

"Oh right that," He laughed and kissed her again. "Don't go tonight."

"I have to," She sighed. "But you're coming back for gala right?"

"Yeah," He nodded, "Speaking of gala, I talked to Linda the other day."

"You did?" She asked. "What about?"

"You," He sighed, "She called me, she's worried about you. She said you quit gala committee."

"I'm busy, with student council," She said, "And school, and getting college applications done, that kind of thing."

"Yeah, but gala committee's like your favorite thing on the planet." He said, she stood up and shrugged, "Kel, it's just,"

"Scooter," She said, "I'm fine, OK, maybe, for once I just want to enjoy the gala, did you think of that?" He sighed. "Now," She whispered and kneeled down on the bed, "I have to leave in three hours, do you want to talk about gala or do you want to make love to me?"

"Tough call," He smirked, she rolled her eyes and kissed him. "I love you."

"I love you too," She whispered.

"Ahem," Ana Duncan cleared her throat to wake her daughter up, Tammy woke up and looked over, Fulton was sleeping in her bed with his arms around her.

"Fulton," She hissed to wake him up.

"What?" He said, "Crap! Hi Mrs. Duncan."

"Hi Fulton," Ana smiled. "Can I have a word with my daughter please?"

"Yeah," He said, standing up, he kissed Tammy, "Bye, call me."

"If I can," She nodded. "Hi Mom."

"Explain," Ana said, "You're not even supposed to be here, you're supposed to be at your father's, so, why are you here?"

"OK, so we were at this party," She explained, "And Tommy was there too, and I was going to Dad's and then I decided to come here instead, and Fulton walked me home, and he was just going to come in for a minute, and then we fell asleep."

"That's it?" Ana said, relieved. She knew here daughter well enough to tell when she was lying.

"Cross my heart," Tammy said.

"Alright," Ana stood up, "You should call your dad, let him know you're not there."

"He didn't call?" Tammy said quietly. Ana sat down and hugged her.

"I'm sorry honey," She whispered. "I'm sure Tommy told him you were coming here."

"Yeah," Tammy said, "I'm sure."

"Hey baby," Julie said as she walked off the bus and kissed Jimmy, he pulled her close.

"Hey," He said, "That was nice."

"I missed you," She laughed, "I love you."

"I love you too," He smiled, "And I missed you."

"Anything exciting happen while I was away?" She asked as they walked back.

"Nope," He shook his head, "The party was fun." He had to change the subject, he didn't want to let anything slip, "How's your dad and Elyse and everyone?"

"Good," She swallowed, "Wait until I get the baby pictures developed, he's soo adorable Jimmy."

"I'm glad," He smiled and kissed her again. "God, I missed you."

"Let's go someplace," She smiled, "And be alone," She whispered.

"I am all for being alone," He said, "Come on."

Julie sat on Jimmy's bed pressed against him making out. His mouth was down her neck and she was breathing heavily. As always he was watching his hands, and they were both ecstatically happy.

"Oh Jimmy," She whimpered, "I love you."

"I love you too baby," He whispered and kissed her. They kept kissing but she slowed down and stopped, feeling something new against her.

"Um, Jimmy," She whispered, "Are you?"

"Oh God," He said and pulled away, "Julie, I'm so sorry, I just,"

"Forget it," She said and stood up, "I should go, I'll see you tomorrow, in class, we have that really, hard, um difficult pre calc quiz and I should study,"

"Yeah," He said, "Me too."

"Great," She said, "So I'll just go." She walked out, completely humiliated.
