Courtney's POV

I entered my apartment completley dazed. Bridgette was there, eating all the ice cream out of my fridge. She had her back to the door, and her headphones in, so I just stodd there, arms crossed and an amused look on my face, waiting for her to turn around.

"With you I'd dance in my best dress, Fearl- Oh, hey Court!" Bridgette said, while laughing nervously. She than realized the ice cream tub and hid it and the spoon behind her back. "Hows it going?"

"BRIDGETTE! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU!" I yelled

"Court, I'm sorry, you just weren't here and I was hungry and all I could find was the ice cream and"

"BRIDGETTE!" I continued yelling. "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WOULD EAT ALL MY ICE CREAM WITHOUT ME!" I said. It was silent for a few minutes, than me and Bridgette burst out laughing, and we couldn't stop. We laughed for about 10 minutes, until we could finally stand up straight.

"Gosh Court, you really had me thinking you were mad at me for eating you ice cream from the tub." She said, while wiping her eyes and still laughing a little.

"Yeah, well, I'm in a good mood right now, so pass me a spoon, and tell me how it went with Geoff." I said, taking the spoon and digging into the ice cream with Bridgette.

"And so yeah, as soon as Geoff's and my shoes and shirts were off, they had hightailed it outta there. But me and Geoff continued on to -"

"I don't want to know!" I screeched, not wanting to hear the story of what they had done. Been there, done that, never again.

"So what's got you in such a good mood anyway?" Bridgette asked me, taking the empty ice cream tub to the sink to rinse it out.

"Oh, you know, Duncan and I, we're officially together." I said, smiling. I looked up to see Bridgette disappointed and shaking her head. "What?" I asked, worried.

"I'm disappointed in you Courtney." She said, than let a huge smile light up her face. "I'm disappointed that you never told me this as soon as you walked through that door!" She squeeled. I laughed.

"Well, I didn't really get the chance to." I said. "I mean, if you were in MY position, you would've waited too."

"Yeah, but STILL!" Bridgette said. Her watch beeped. "CRAP! I'm late! I'm supposed to meet Geoff in 5 minutes! Sorry, Court, I'll t-t-y-l!" And with that, my best friend rushed out the door. I just smiled and shook my head. Same old Bridgette.

I sat down at the kitchen counter on one of the stools, I sighed, laid my head on my palm and looked around. What to do, what to do. My job at that lawyers firm was temporarily closed down due to infestation, so I couldn't go there. Bridgette was who knows where doing who knows what with Geoff. Trent, Dj, Katie and Gwen were going to the movie marathon thing. Duncan was at work. Uggh, everyone had something to do. Just than, my phone started to ring. "Hello?"

"Hey, Princess, you doing anything today? Cause if not, I was thinking maybe you could come to the shop, it's almost my lunch break, we could go somewhere." Duncan said.

I felt butterlies in my stomach as soon as he started to talk. It took a while for the words to sink in. "You, want me to come over?" I asked.

"Umm, yeah. That's if you want to, you don't have to!" Duncan said panicky. I laughed.

"No, no, I'd love too, I'm leaving like, right now. Seeya in a few." I said.

"Kay, seeya in a few." I could tell he was smiling, even though I couldn't see it. Than he hung up. I grabbed my purse, my keys, my sunglasses, ran out the door, jumped into my car, and in 15 minutes, I was there.

"Princess!" Duncan yelled, as soon as I walked through the door. Before I knew what was going on, two pairs of arms wrapped around my waist, and I was lifted into the air. I laughed and hugged back. When he, finally, put me down, he was still hugging me. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see a very angry and a very jealous Justin. Oh yeah, I forgot he works here. Awckward..

"Oh, hey Courtney." Justin said. I heard Duncan growl. It half scared me, half turned me on.

"Uh, hi, Justin.." I said, than turned back to Duncan. "So, you said that you were almost on your lunch break, right?"

"Yeah, I have to help Justin with one more car, and than we can head out." He said, glaring at Justin. Justin glared right back.

"Fine." He angrily said. They just kept glaring at each other.

"So where do I go?" I asked, since you could literally cut the tension and testosterone that seemed to be between the two of them.

Duncan turned towards me, smiling. "How about you go hang out with Lindsay for now. She could probably use some help." You practically feel and see the jealousy that was radiating off of Justin.

"Oh, well, okay." I said. Than I walked over to the desk, to see the blonde they called Lindsay on the phone.

"And than she was like, Why do you and Beth hang out with Heather? and so I said Cause Heather, is like, our best friend, DUH! and oh, sorry Beth, there's a customer here. I know, I know, but I have to. So I'll ttyl, okay, bye." She ung up than looked at me. "Welcome to the, uhh, shop. How may I help you?" Lindsay said.

"Oh, I'm just waiting for Duncan to get onto his lunch break. He told me to come over here and see if you needed help."

"Great! That's, that's great, I'll leave, you just have to answer phone calls and, yeah, thank you sooo much!" She squeeled, hugging me and running out.

"Great, this is just perfect." I mumbled, sat at the desk and thankfully noticed a paper badly taped to the desk, showing what I was supposed to say, if we had a phone call or a customer.

Just than, the phone rang. I stared at it, than decided I should answer it.

"Sir Hatchet's Car Shop, Courtney speaking, how may I help you?" I asked, following the sheet.

"Courtney? Oh, I was expecting Lindsay. Not that your bad, your better than her, but, umm, what I meant to say was, is Duncan there?" I heard Trent stuttering.

I laughed. "He and Justin are working on fiing a car, I can go ask for him though if you want me too."

"No, no, it's fine." He said, "I'll talk to him when he gets home. It's not important. You, uh, have fun." And before I could say anything else, he hung up.

Duncan came around the corner, covered in oil and grease, but as soon as he saw me, he grinned that grin that I loved.

"Princess!" He said, ran over, picked me up bridal style and than span me around a few times. I laughed. He set me down, and kissed me. I smiled into the kiss and wrapped my arms around his neck. He deepened the kiss and wrapped his arms around my waist. When we broke apart, he threw me over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. I laughed and pounded on his back.

"Put me DOWN!"

"Not a chance Princess, not a chance."

I'd always expected Duncan to have a motorcycle, so you could imagine my surprise when he put me down inside of a new, shiny, black convertible. He than hopped into the drivers seat and drove off.

"Duncan, where are we going?" I asked.

"Back to my apartment, Princess. Because believe it or not, I can cook. Not as good as DJ and his mom, but I can cook."

"Just look at the road Duncan." I laughed.

"Fine, fine, be that way."

"Oh my God! Duncan, this is amazing!"

Duncan chuckled. "It's only spagetti."

"Yeah, but it's amazing spagetti!"

He laughed, "Glad you like it Princess. But you got a little something right, there." He said, licking sauce off of my nose. I blushed. He laughed. I just smiled, than realized what time it was.

"Oh crap! Duncan! It's 12!" I yelled out.

"What?" He said, turning to the clock, and realizing just how late it was. "Woah, how did it get so late?" He asked.

"Hmm, let's see. All the times you burnt the sauce and the noodles, the time you stopped cooking to make out with me. Yeah, I think that's about it." I said, teasingly.

"Oh hahaha Princess." He said. "But I'm not letting you go home, not tonight, not this late and not when it's this dark out."

"Well where do you want me to stay?" I said.

"Here!" Bridgette said, walking through the door with Geoff. She threw a night gown at me. "I was gonna use it, but I won't be needing it." She said.

"Uggh, Bridgette I don't want to know." I said.

"There, your all settled." Duncan smiled. "Oh, and don't refuse or complain about it, but you are going to have to sleep in my room, and neither one of us is sleeping on the floor."

"Fine." I said. Than walked to the bathroom to put on the nightgown that Bridgette had brought. "Uggh." I complained to myself. It ended halfway down my thighs, and the neckline was really low. Great, just great. I walked out of the bathroom, to three shocked gazes.

"What?" I asked, self concious.

"You look, hot." All three of them said at the same time, earning Geoff a smack across the head from Bridgette and an evil glare from Duncan. He threw his arms up in surrender.

"What, I'm sorry, but it's true!" He shouted in defense. I laughed.

"Leave him alone." I said, before heading off to Duncan's room. When I got there, I pulled back the covers on one side of the bed and climbed in. Duncan came in the room, closed the door, turned off the lights and jumped in the bed. He got under the covers, scooted close enough to wrap his arm around me, bring me closer to him, he snuggled his face into my hair, and unlike what I thought, he didn't try anything on me, just kissed the top of my head.

"Good night Princess. I love you." He mumbled sleepily, and with his arm still wrapped around me and his face still in my hair, he fell asleep. I smiled.

"Good night, Duncan, I love you too." And before I fell asleep, I felt him smile. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad I said, turning around and snuggling into his chest.
