ALL MY LIFE

PART ELEVEN

Scott and Jody walked into the hotel, loosely holding hands. She looked around and saw Charlie pressed up against some girl, kissing her. Jody sighed painfully and looked away.

"So, where is this guy? I can't wait to meet him." Scott said, looking around the giant lobby.

Jody raised her hand like a piece of floppy rubber and pointed at Charlie before dropping it back to her side. "He's over there."

Scott looked in the direction that Jody had pointed. "Where? Is he that guy kissing the girl that looks exactly like you?"

"Yeah." Jody nodded and noticed that Kathy did look a lot like her.

"Well, let's go see him then." Scott started to pull Jody over to Charlie.

"No! Scott, are you insane? What are you doing?" Jody yanked him back.

"What? We came here to see this guy, I wanna go see him!"

"Yeah, but, oh my God. He's coming over." Jody stammered nervously.

Charlie walked twards Jody and the guy he thought must be Scott. He stepped in front of them and smiled warmly, but nervously.

"Hey Jody."

"Hi Charlie…" Jody smiled and hugged him tightly. "I can't believe it's actually you! 5 years… wow. You look great." Jody stepped back and grinned at him.

"Nah, you look better. Anyways, who's this?" Charlie looked at the guy next to Jody.

"Oh, right. Uh, Charlie, this is my boyfriend, Scott Neil. Scott, this… is Charlie Simms."

"It's great to finally meet you." Now I would like to kill you, Scott thought as he shook Charlie's hand.

"You too." Charlie forced himself to smile at Scott. They were both jealous of each other, but tried not to let it show, or at least not to Jody.

Jody smiled excitedly at Charlie. "I still can't believe it's actually you!!"

Charlie smiled and nodded. "I know! 5 years… wow. Pretty long, huh?"

Jody nodded. "Too long."

Charlie nodded. "Yeah… oh! Come on! You have to meet Kathy!"

"Now?" Jody asked nervously.

"Uh huh." Charlie grabbed Jody's hand and whisked her awayto the elevator.

Scott sighed and followed.
