Chapter 14: Unexpected

Julie smiled, sitting in the poolhouse with a half eaten pizza on the coffee table. She and Jimmy had just happily sat through a movie. Tammy had been so wrong. This was in no way about sex, they just needed this time together. Jimmy walked back in with two sodas.

"Catch," He said, tossing one to her, she caught it, barely paying attention. "So," He sat down, "What do we do now?"

"I have an idea," She smiled, and sat up on her knees.

"Do you?" He laughed. She nodded and kissed him. "I like that idea."

"Do you?" She laughed.

"Yeah," He said and kissed her again, she laughed as he pressed her down and kissed her softly, "I do." They kissed again. "I love you so much." He whispered.

"I love you too," She murmured. Things escalated slowly, and surely about ten minute later his hand had slid up her shirt and he was fiddling with the back of her bra.

"Jimmy," She whimpered, he kissed her neck gently, "Jimmy stop." She said, he did and sat up.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"I'm not ready to have sex," She said abruptly, "So if that's what this whole date in the poolhouse thing is about, then I think you should know that."

"Oh God!" He said, "Julie, I just figured we should hang out, because things have been weird since the whole you know,"

"Boner thing," She nodded, so did he, "I hate Tammy."

"Why?" He asked.

"Because, she convinced me that you were trying to seduce me," She mumbled. Then she looked at him, "Like you could seduce anyone." She touched his face.

"Excuse me?" He said. "I have moves baby." She looked at him. "Fine Rick has moves, Scooter has moves, and they both would be happy to impart their wisdom. They would mock me for the rest of my life, but they would offer advice." She smiled. "I'm not trying to seduce you."

"I know," She groaned, "And I spent eighty dollars on underwear and it's not even comfortable! I've felt like I had a wedgie all night!" He laughed. "Don't laugh!"

"I'm sorry," He stifled, "I'm sorry, but even if tonight was about us having sex, you didn't have to go out and buy special underwear."

"So you don't want to see it?" She pouted, fingering the hem of her tee shirt.

"I didn't say that," He laughed and lifted it over her head. She bit her lower lip as he looked her. The bra was blue satin trimmed with black lace.

"Worth every penny," He nodded, completely transfixed. Was this his shy little tomboy in front of him?

"Really?" She said. He nodded and kissed her, pushing her down underneath him. She squeaked happily.

Cassie smiled as Rick fell asleep holding her. She often got sick of herself when they lay like this. She couldn't help it, but her she always found herself imagining what her life would be like if they got married. When they got married, they'd talked about it a lot, granted Rick was almost always chemically altered, but it had been discussed. When she was a little girl and as most little girls do, pretended it was her wedding day, she always played that Rick was the groom. She never told him this, because this wasn't the kind of thing you told a guy like Rick who was kind of skittish about commitment except when chemically altered. He grunted and shifted in his sleep, rolling over so that he wasn't holding her anymore. She sighed, this was normal, this happened a lot. She rolled over and kissed his shoulder gently.

"Hey," He rolled over and kissed her, waking up.

"Hey," She smiled.

"I did it again, didn't I?" He groaned. She nodded. "I'm sorry baby, you know I don't mean to."

"I know," She said and nodded, "I know, what do you think it is?" She propped up on her elbow.

"Can't say," He shook his head, "When I'm awake, all I can think about is holding you."

"Maybe I should just stop sleeping here," She said.

"No," He said, "I love sleeping with you, Cassie." He kissed her gently.

"So, sleep with me," She said, "Hold me all night."

"I can't help what happens when I'm asleep." He reminded her.

"I'm being irrational," She sighed, "I'm sorry."

"I like when you're irrational," He laughed, "Get too rational and you remind me of my sister and it gets weird."

"What about spooning?" Cassie asked.

"Non sequeters," He nodded, "So fun."

"No," She said, "We don't have to be face to face," She rolled over. "Now, you put your arms around me." He laughed and did. "We're spooning, ta-da!"

"I love you," He whispered.

"Yeah," She yawned, "Go to sleep."

"You're not going to say it back?"

"Nope," She shook her head, "Not to the guy who just threw me out of his arms."

"Good night Cassandra." He laughed.

"Hi," Tammy said opening the door of her father's house. There was a freshman hockey game, which her father and step mother had gone to. She had passed, because tonight was supposed to be a big night for her a Fulton. Since the whole Ana finding them asleep together thing they had zip privacy at the apartment, and this at least seemed like the perfect solution.

"Hi," He said and kissed her, "You look beautiful."

"Thanks," She smiled, "Come in." She stepped aside and they walked in. He looked around. He hadn't been here yet.

"It's not bad here," He said, she shrugged.

"It's not home either," She whispered.

"Hey," He whispered and pulled her close, "It's good that you did this, it's important. I know it means a lot to your brother." She kissed him.

"Do you want to see my room?" She said softly, using a sort of sexy whisper that was obviously imitated from old movies.

"Do you want me to see your room?" He raised his eyebrows. She kissed him again. "This is happening?"

"This is happening," She said softly, "I'm a little scared."

"Yeah me too," He mumbled, "But," He went into his pocket, "Prepared this time." She kissed him and took his hand, leading him upstairs. She opened the door. Everything was pink a lacey, sparkly or furry, or some combination of all three. "Wow, did Barbie throw up in here?"

"Yeah, new mommy seems to think I'm six," Tammy laughed, "I'm tweaking it, see," She pointed to a picture of the Ducks at age 10. He smiled and kissed her. "This is happening," She repeated and sat down on the bed.

"Only if you're ready for it to happen," He said softly. She looked at him, her eyes really big.

"This isn't happening," Elena mumbled sitting with the other freshmen cheerleaders at the game, movie night with Brad and Tommy to follow. The Ducks had just walked in a settled in a few rows away. That meant Dean Portman, although Julie and Jimmy were conspicuously absent, which was a nice change.

"Did you speak freshman?" Janet Lane snapped from behind her.

"Go Ducks?" Elena tried.

"Sit up straight, watch the game and don't speak," Janet said, "What's so hard about that?"

"Nothing," Elena sighed with an eye roll.

"Nothing what?" Janet asked.

"Nothing Captain," Elena said with a faked perky smile.

"Good girl," Janet smiled. Portman glanced over and then sat down next to Elena.

"Hey," He said, she smiled and looked down. This isn't happening she thought to herself. "Look, I've been a real jerk to you, and I wanted to apologize, you don't deserve that." She swallowed. "OK, so now you talk, I mean, traditionally that's how a conversation goes, you can say, I accept your apology, or tell me to drop dead, I deserve that."

"She can't talk to you Dean," Janet said from behind, he turned around and looked at her. She smirked, "Hazing."

"Hazing," He nodded, "Tell me, Janet, do you get pleasure out of seeing everyone around you miserable?"

"You know exactly what I get pleasure out of Dean," She smiled, "And unless your taste has changed substantially, I doubt little Ellie here can keep you happy." Elena looked away, her face flushing red. Jimmy had told her, but hearing the two of them talk about it was making her stomach churn. She swallowed the bile rising in her throat.

"As usual you have no idea what you're talking about Janet," He shook his head, he turned to Elena and kissed her softly. "I'll talk to you after the game OK?" She nodded, awestruck, even if she could have spoken at that moment, hazing free she wouldn't have been able to find words. "Great." He stood up. "See you later." He turned, "Bye Janet."

"You'll pay Cole," She leaned forward. "I'm not going to do anything, yet, but trust me, with that one, you'll pay." Elena swallowed, she knew she would too.

Brad Vanderbilt looked up into the stands, she was there, but then again she had to be. He saw it, and he turned around and kept skating. What else was he going to do?

Please review it you guys! It would mean sooo much to me!
