Chapter 11
(Trish's POV)
The next morning, John and I were both woken up by Randy and Stacy. Actually, we were woken up by Randy. He decided to jump up and down on the bed, which woke both of us up. I wondering who the hell was jumping on the bed. John knew it was Randy and almost kicked his ass.
"Get up lazy butts," Randy said. He walked out of the room. I heard his bedroom door close. I knew he was changing his clothes.
I looked over at Stacy. She was standing in the door way. She was dressed in a baby tee and jeans with sneakers on. "I brought you some clothes and shoes," She said, holding a bundle of clothing and a pair of shoes.
"Thank you," I said. I threw the covers off of me and got up from the bed. She handed me my clothing and shoes.
"I'll be in the living room," Stacy said. She walked out of the bedroom and closed the door behind her.
John got out of bed then. He walked over to his dresser and grabbed some clothes. He and I both got dressed. Stacy had brought me a baby tee and jeans of the clothes.
"I don't know what their plan is, but they have something in mind," I said as John and I got dressed.
"Yeah, I think you're right," John replied.
Once the two of us were dressed we walked out of the bedroom and to the living room. Both Randy and Stacy were there. Randy was dressed in a T-shirt, jeans and putting on his sneakers.
"Okay, what's going on?" I asked.
"We're meeting Michelle and Nick for lunch," Randy said. "I called her this morning and set it up. She was all up for it."
It was 10:30 am.
"What time are meeting them?" John asked.
"At noon," Randy replied.
"Sounds good."
"Yeah, sounds good," I said.
(John's POV)
Randy drove the four of us to Denny's for lunch. Stacy and Trish sat in the backseat, while Randy and I sat up front. Stacy had wanted to sit in the back so she could talk to Trish. They were both in the backseat whispering.
(Trish's POV)
"What did you and Randy do last night?" I asked.
"We ate our dinner and talked. We talked all about my insecurities of our relationship. We also talked about his insecurities. We made up basically," Stacy said.
"Good."
"What did you and John do?"
"We ate and then watched a movie."
"What movie did you watch?" Stacy asked.
"Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones."
"Oh, a little romance in that movie."
"That was why I chose it. I like the first three episodes of Star Wars because of Anakin and Padme. I hate the end of Revenge of the Sith it makes me cry."
Stacy chuckled. "So that was all you and John did? You just ate, watched a movie and went to bed?"
I nodded my head.
"OMG, Trish, you are so boring."
I laughed. "Excuse me, we're taking things slow."
"I'm just teasing you. I'm glad you are taking things slow. I want you and John to be together a long time."
"So do I," I said.
(John's POV)
We soon arrived at Denny's for lunch. Randy found a parking place and we all got out of the car. I texted Michelle to see where she was at. She said she and Nick were inside and had already gotten a table.
"She's here," I said.
"Good," Randy said.
The four of us all walked into the restaurant. It was nice and warm inside. Sometimes I hated the cold weather. As we walked I spotted Michelle and Nick.
"They're over there," I said.
"Yeah, I see them too," Randy said.
The four of us walked over to the table where Michelle and Nick sat.
"Hello," I said.
"Hi," Michelle said. She stood up and gave me a hug. She did the same with Randy.
Nick stood up. "Hey John."
"Hey," I said. I shook his head. Randy did the same.
Michelle introduced Nick to Trish and Stacy. Randy and I then introduced our girlfriends to Nick. Friendly greetings were exchanged and then we all sat down. We all looked over the menu. I decided I was going to get something that was breakfast.
We all figured out what we wanted and ordered when the waitress came over. Once she was gone, we all settled in and began talking.
(Trish's POV)
Lunch was a lot of fun with Michelle and Nick. It turned out that they were very much in love. They were all couple-like. It was very cute to see.
Michelle turned out to be a great person. She was the youngest of her siblings. She had two older sisters and one older brother. Her parents were happily married. She enjoying reading and doing crafts in her spare time. She drew a lot.
"What type of nurse are you?" I asked Michelle.
"I work at Stamford Hospital. I work in the Maternity unit," Michelle said.
"No way?!" I said.
"Yes. I get to work with mothers and babies."
"Oh, I want your job now!" Stacy said.
"Me too," I said.
Michelle smiled. "Come volunteer at the hospital and come down to the Maternity unit."
"I want kids and I want them now."
"Me too," Stacy said.
"Awe. Well, working at the hospital with the babies and mothers helps me out."
"I need a friend with a kid," I said.
Michelle laughed.
I looked over at John. He just shook his head and smiled. He was happy Michelle and I were getting along.
(John's POV)
"Well, it was great seeing you again, Nick," I said.
"You too," Nick said.
We all stood outside the restaurant saying our good-byes. Michelle was talking with Trish and Stacy. The three were exchanging phone numbers.
"Text me whenever," Stacy said. "I always have my phone nearby when I'm not working."
"Me too," Trish said.
"I do too," Michelle said. "My phone is always in my pants pocket. I carry my cell phone in the hospital too. I keep it in my scrubs pocket."
"You know I wanted to be a nurse," Trish said.
"Oh, really?"
"Yeah, but the sciences killed me. I had a lot of trouble in biology, because it was suggested you take a biology class before Anatomy and Physiology."
"Oh, yeah, I remember taking Anatomy and Physiology. That was a bitch."
Trish nodded her head.
The girls finished saying their good-byes. They then hugged. Michelle hugged Randy and me good-bye. She and Nick headed in one direction, while Randy, Stacy, Trish, and I walked in the other.
"Well, that was fun," Trish said.
"Yes," Stacy said.
"I'm glad you girls had fun," Randy said.
"Me too," I said.
(Trish's POV)
John and I both climbed into the backseat as Randy and Stacy climbed into the front. Randy then drove us all back to John's and Randy's apartment. Stacy and I said good-bye to our boyfriends shortly after that.
"Thanks for letting me stay her last night," I said to John.
"No problem. It was fun. We'll have do it again sometime," John said.
"How about tomorrow night?"
"Sounds great. Randy, you're staying the night at Stacy's tomorrow night."
"Why?" Randy asked.
"So Trish and I can have the place to ourselves tomorrow night," John said.
"Okay, sounds fair."
I chuckled.
