Rolfe took Pocahontas' hand as they walked up the street to Wendy's house. Pocahontas wasn't sure why, but she felt nervous about her friends seeing her with Rolfe. She really liked Rolfe, but part of her felt like she was betraying John. Would her friends see it as betrayal as well?

As they approached Wendy's house, Pocahontas pushed the thoughts of John out of her head. She would deal with the guilt later.

Pocahontas immediately spotted Sally and Jack in the living room. Jack was telling everyone around them some sort of story, while Sally stood by his side quietly. Normally Sally didn't go to parties, but Wendy was throwing this for everyone who was part of the play and Sally had been in charge of the costumes.

"Hi, Sally." Pocahontas greeted her with a hug. "Rolfe, this is my best friend, Sally. Sally, this is Rolfe."

"Nice to meet you," Sally said.

Rolfe was looking around, distracted. He spotted someone and waved at them. "Come on, Pocahontas." He took Pocahontas' hand.

Rolfe led her to the stairway where a couple was hanging out.

"Pocahontas, these are my friends Robert and Nancy," Rolfe said.

Nancy smiled at Pocahontas. "It's nice to finally meet you, Pocahontas."

Pocahontas started to reply, but froze when she saw John walking down the stairs. She was suddenly very aware of Rolfe's arm around her.

John stopped and frowned. "Pocahontas, what are you doing here with him?"

Pocahontas looked down; she couldn't make eye contact with him. "We're on a date."

"I thought you were too busy for dating," John said.

Robert and Nancy quickly slipped away.

"You're the one who decided I was too busy, John, not me," Pocahontas said.

Pocahontas could tell John wanted to walk away, but she was blocking his path.

"You moved on pretty quickly," John said.

"It's been over a month since you broke up with me and you haven't talked to me since," Pocahontas retorted.

"It goes both ways, Pocahontas."

"I tried talking to you. I called you, sent you texts, and even came by your house, but you wouldn't give me the time of day," Pocahontas said. "How long were you expecting me to wait for you?"

John gave Pocahontas an angry look and for a brief second she thought he was going to hit her. Rolfe must have thought the same thing, because he stepped in between them.

John shot Rolfe a dirty look. "I want to get by."

Rolfe moved out of his way, keeping his arm around Pocahontas. Pocahontas debated whether or not to go after John. In the end she decided not to. She was going to hold her ground; she wasn't doing anything wrong.

Sally stormed over to Pocahontas, grabbed her hand and pulled her away.

"What are you doing?" Sally demanded.

"What do you mean?"

"Why are you still with Rolfe?"

"I'm allowed to date whoever I want."

"But, youwant John, not Rolfe." Sally pushed Pocahontas towards the front door. "Go after him."

"He doesn't want me, Sally."

"Of course he does," Sally said. "He wouldn't have gotten so upset if he didn't."

Pocahontas stared at the door, but couldn't make herself move. Sally pushed her again.

"Go, Pocahontas!"

Pocahontas nodded and made her way to the door. Once she was outside, she ran out to the street. She looked down each side of the street and found John about a half a block away, unlocking his car. She ran towards him.

"John, wait!"

John looked up at her as he opened his door. Pocahontas stopped next to him. She had no idea what she was going to say to him.

Pocahontas took a deep breath. "I'm sorry."

John was slightly taken aback, but recomposed himself. "For what?"

Pocahontas hesitated. "For snapping at you just now."

John shook his head and got into his car. He started to close the door, but Pocahontas grabbed it. She knelt down and put her hands on his lap.

"John, I didn't do anything wrong. I won't apologize for going out with Rolfe," Pocahontas said. "But, I am sorry I hurt you. And you need to know that Rolfe isn't the one I want to be with-you are."

"It doesn't seem that way."

"Damn it, John, stop being so stubborn," Pocahontas snapped.

"I have to go."

Pocahontas stood up and stepped back from the car. John slammed the door closed and drove away.

Belle sat alone on a chair in the corner of Wendy's living room. She was wishing she had taken her own car to the party instead of riding with Jane and Tiana. Of course, as soon as they got there, they ditched her to hang out with their men.

Belle's phone vibrated, signaling she had a text message. She pulled her phone out of her pocket. The text was from Adam.

Whats up?

Belle hadn't heard from Adam the last couple days, since she found out about his dad.

She quickly responded, At Wendy's party. :(

Why the sad face?

I came with Jane and Tiana and they ditched me. I'm sitting alone.

im sorry i havent called u. i was embarrassed by what u saw.

Don't be.

i havent stopped thinking about u.

Me either.

Do u want me to come pick u up?

Yes. :)

Belle found Jane and told her she was leaving with Adam, then went outside to wait for him. It didn't take long for him to get there and she quickly got into his car. He took her back to his tree house.

"You're the only person I've ever taken here," Adam said as they climbed up the ladder.

It was colder outside than Belle had been expecting. They laid down on his makeshift bed and pulled the blanket over them. Belle shivered and instinctively moved closer to him. Adam put his arm around her. The cold mixed with the comfort of cuddling with Adam made Belle suddenly sleepy. She yawned.

"Don't fall asleep," Adam said.

"I won't."

Adam rested his head on Belle's shoulder. It wasn't long until Adam fell asleep on her. Belle didn't want to wake him up, so she decided she'd lay there for a little bit. She wished they were back at her house, in an actual bed. She had never fallen asleep next to somebody and wanted to know what it'd be like to sleep next to Adam.

Belle laid there for almost an hour and smiled as she felt herself falling asleep.

"Are you sure you're okay with not going to the party?" Phoebus asked Esmeralda as they waited for their dinner at Mickey's.

"Well, I was hoping we'd go so I could sneak off to a bedroom with you." Esmeralda winked at him. Phoebus laughed and shook his head. "But, dinner is fine, too."

Phoebus thought Esmeralda was joking, but she wasn't. They still hadn't slept together, and Esmeralda thought she was going to go crazy. She hadn't been able to stop thinking about the night she lost her virginity to him and she wanted him.

The waitress brought over their food. Esmeralda slowly ate her dinner.

"Is everything all right?" Phoebus asked her.

"I don't know."

"What do you mean?"

"I really want you, Phoebus," Esmeralda blurted out. "Why are we waiting?"

"Because I think it's important to build a real relationship first," Phoebus said.

Esmeralda shook her head and smiled. "It figures I'd date the one guy in high school who wants to wait to have sex."

They ate their dinner quietly for a few minutes before Phoebus started talking about MMA. His coach had found about him getting into the fight at the dance and made him miss Friday night's meet as punishment. Phoebus didn't think it was fair and had been complaining about it all weekend. Esmeralda tuned him out, but nodded every once in a while.

Esmeralda needed to come up with a way to get Phoebus to sleep with her or she was going to explode. She had thought about buying sexy lingerie, but she didn't think it would work. Phoebus wanted a strong foundation for their relationship. As Esmeralda finished eating she realized what she had to do. She decided she was going to tell Phoebus she loved him.

The waitress came cleared their empty plates and Esmeralda excused herself to the bathroom. She made sure no one else was in the bathroom, then went into one of the stalls. She knelt down and leaned over the toilet. She stuck her finger down her throat and her eyes watered as she gagged.

Esmeralda unlocked the stall door and pulled it open. She stopped in her tracks when she saw Snow White and Cinderella standing in front of the sinks, staring at her.

"I haven't been feeling very well," Esmeralda said pushing pass them to wash her hands.

Snow White and Cinderella didn't say anything, they just walked out of the bathroom. Esmeralda wasn't sure why she felt the need to explain herself to them. She honestly didn't care if they heard her throwing up. She finished cleaning herself up, fixed her makeup, and popped a couple Altoids in her mouth. After the mints had dissolved, she went back out to Phoebus. He was at the register paying for their dinner. She went up behind him and put her arms around him. Phoebus took his change, then turned around and smiled at Esmeralda.

"Ready?" he asked.

Esmeralda nodded. Phoebus opened the door for her, then took her hand as they walked through the parking lot.

"Esmeralda!"

Esmeralda looked up to see Naveen and Tiana walking towards them. She waved and gave Naveen a quick hug when they reached them.

"I haven't seen you much lately," Esmeralda said to Naveen. "What have you been up to?"

"We just came from Wendy's party. Didn't see you there," Naveen said.

"Nah. We skipped this one."

Naveen shrugged. "Maybe next time."

"Maybe next time," Esmeralda agreed.

Tiana cleared her throat.

Esmeralda looked at her. "Hi, Tiana."

"We should get going," Naveen said.

Esmeralda nodded. "Don't be a stranger."

Esmeralda and Naveen gave each other a quick kiss as Naveen and Tiana walked passed. Phoebus dropped her hand and headed towards his car. Esmeralda hurried after him. He unlocked the door and she got in.

"What's wrong?" Esmeralda asked him.

"You just kissed another guy in front of me," Phoebus said.

"What do you mean? That was just a friendly peck," Esmeralda explained.

"It made me uncomfortable."

"I'm sorry. But, Naveen and I are just friends. That kiss was completely harmless," Esmeralda said.

"I'd really appreciate it if you didn't kiss other guys," Phoebus stated.

"Phoebus, it wasn't like that-"

"Have you slept with him?"

"Yes."

"How long ago?"

Esmeralda thought for a minute. "The last time we hooked up was a couple days before you asked me out at that party."

Phoebus was quiet for a while, then said, "I don't really want you hanging out with him anymore."

"You can't tell me who I can and can't be friends with."

"I'm not saying you can't be friends with him, Esmeralda. I just don't think it's a good idea for you to hang out with him."

"Why not?"

"Because I guarantee that kiss meant something to him," Phoebus said.

"But-"

"Esmeralda, please!" Phoebus snapped.

Esmeralda quickly closed her mouth and bit her lip. "Okay. I won't hang out with him."

"Thank you." Phoebus took a deep breath and let it out. "I'm sorry I yelled at you."

"It's all right."

"You just have to see things from my point of view. It's hard for me to be okay with you spending time with guys you've slept with," Phoebus explained.

"So, you don't hang out with the girls you've slept with?"

"You're the only one, Esmeralda," Phoebus said. "And I think about it a lot. Especially when we kiss. That's why I know that kiss means more to Naveen than it does to you."

Esmeralda did her best not to smile. Phoebus thought about their night together just as much as she did. She knew now that she'd be able get him in bed with her more easily than she had thought.

"You have nothing to worry about, Phoebus."
