This Time I Can't Let Her Go

Part Three

"Alright."

" Good. Bye Jason."

" Bye Meems."

" I'll be waiting."

" Okay."

          Mimi stepped back and watched as Jason backed out of her driving. Giving one last wave she turned and headed inside her house.

          Jason shook his head as he pulled out of her driveway. Turning his car towards his house, he quickly speed up hoping to get home sooner.

' She cares! She told me she cares.' Jason thought as he pulled into his driveway. Turning off the car he sat, staring into space. ' What are you doing just sitting here then? Get out of your care and go call her.'

          Unbuckling himself, he got out of his car and jogged up the driveway. Opening the door he yelled hello to his mom and grabbed the cordless phone.

          Mimi sat on her bed staring at her phone. Glancing once again at the clock she saw it change from 5:49 to 5:50.

' Where are you Jason? I know your house isn't that far away from where I live. It's 5:50! He should have called by now.  Maybe he got in an accident! Maybe he ran out of gas. Maybe he… Stop it Meems. He is just fine.'

          Mimi was reaching for the phone to call the hospital when it rang. Grabbing it off her bed, she hit the talk button and brought it to her ear.

" Hello?"

" Hey Mimi."

" Jason!"

" So I called."

" Yeah you did. You scared me though."

" Why?"

" Because it took you forever to call. I was scared you got in an accident."

" Sorry. There was an accident blocking the road, though."

" Funny."

" I thought so."

" So…"

" What's up Mimi?"

" Nothing. You?"

" Same. Can you believe school is out."

" No, it seems like it should just be starting."

" I know."

" So…"

" Meems, what are you  doing tonight?"

" Tonight?"

" Yeah."

" Why?"

" Well, I was going to go to Phillip's end of the year party and I wanted to know if you could go with me."

**Silence**

" Meems? You still there?"

" Yeah. Sorry, it's just…you just asked me to go to the biggest party of the year with you."

" I know. I was the one who asked you."

" I can't."

" Why not?"

" Jason."

" I know we covered that already. I'm different though, Mimi."

" I know. But still…"

" No. No bits. I wouldn't have asked you if I didn't want you to go with me."

" Are you sure?"

" Yes."

" Alright. I'll go."

" That's what I thought."

" Still so cocky though."

" I know."

" Sow hat time are you picking me up?"

" About 7:30."

" Okay."

" I guess I should let you go because I know how you girls are."

" And how are we?"

" You take years to get ready."

" So don't you."

" But I am a guy."

" It really makes all the difference."

" Bye Meems."

" Bye Jason."

          As soon as Mimi hung up the phone, she walked over her closet. Taking a deep breathe, she started searching through it for the perfect 'I'm single and sexy, but I don't want them I want you' outfit.

' Oh God. What am I going to wear? What have I gotten myself into?' Mimi thought.

          Mimi was flipping through her hangers again, when the phone suddenly rang. Walking back to the bed, she picked it up and hit the talk button.

" Hello?"

" Meems?"

" Jason? What's wrong?"

" Nothing. I just realized that you are probably searching your closet for something to wear when I thought of the perfect outfit for you."

" Oh really."

" Yeah. That one shoulder black dress, wear it."

" The one I wore in Puerto Rico?"

" Yeah."

" Why?"

" Because you look sexy in it."

" Okay thanks but really why?"

" Just do it."
