CHAPTER TWO

Aimee woke up early in the morning to the sound of her ringing phone. She felt around her night stand for it and picked it up. "Scott," she said tiredly. "I was right in the middle of a rem cycle."

"Sorry." said Scott. "But I was wondering if you could come over later, not now, later."

"Scott, if you wanted me to come over later, why'd you call me so early in the morning?"

"Uh, I dunno. But it's important."

Aimee sighed. "Of course I'll come over, just don't make this a habit or anything."

"I won't. Promise. Bye." They hung up. Aimee slept for a couple more hours then got up. She yawned and stretched, and had breakfast. She hung around the apartment for a while, watching t.v, going online, so on. And by the afternoon she was ready to go to Scott's. She took the few steps to Scott's door and knocked. "Hold on!" Scott yelled quickly as if 'hold on' was on word. "Come in." Aimee slowly opened the door and walked in, she didn't know what she was getting into.

"Hey." said Scott pretty quickly. He looked at her, she was still in her pajamas.

"Hey." replied Aimee calmly and slowly. They stood there not talking for a second. "So...what's up?" (asked Aimee).

"Uh...nothing, just uh, chilling out."

"Uh...yea. Um, did I catch you at a bad time?" asked Aimee.

"Oh, no! No." said Scott. "Perfect timing."

"Ok...so why'd you want me to come over?"

"Um...well, I've...arranged something for you."

"You've...arranged something for me?"

"Yes, something I think you'll like."

"Maybe, maybe not, fess up."

'Well..." Scott began. "I think you're lonely."

"Uh, what?"

"Like, no one to love-lonely."

"Oh really."

"Yea." said Scott quickly. "You need a date."

"So you've arranged me a date!?" Aimee was getting a little mad-ish and surprised.

"Yea, two...or more. But, I'm not the only one in this."

"Your not?"

"No." he clapped his hands once, and out of a corner, Shelby came out. In a black three quarter sleeved shirt, black knee length skirt, and black heels. She came out like she was some professional secretary or something.

"Hi." she said putting up her hand and doing that kind of wave when you kind of wiggle your fingers.

"Hey." said Aimee. "Um... what's this all about?"

"Well...we both kind of thought you were lonely without anyone. So, we set you up with a few people that might be...the one." said Shelby.

"The one? I don't want the one, I don't need the one."

"Yes you do," said Scott."You need someone, you need the one."

"Just take a few dates." said Shelby. "And if you want to stop, then we'll stop." Aimee looked at Scott, he nodded with a smile." Aimee sighed."Fine, fine." said Aimee.

"Yes!" they both said at different times. "You won't regret this!"

"Yea..." Aimee said quietly smiling then fading it away slowly.
