Making up Your Mind

For the past several days, Jimmy Doherty was trying to get Jennifer to forgive him. Jimmy acted like a total jerk to her and needed to talk to her.

Jennifer in the meantime was walking in the park and tried to avoid Jimmy at all costs.

" I really do hate him," Jennifer said, " But he did save my life."

" Hey Jennifer," she heard.

Jennifer looked to see Bosco.

" Oh great," Jennifer said.

" Nice to see you too," Bosco said coming up, " Where's Jimmy?"

" Who cares," Jennifer answered.

" Whoa," Bosco said, " What's wrong with you?"

" You really want to know," Jennifer said, " Jimmy did the same thing you did."

" You don't understand the male gender," Bosco said.

" And you and Jimmy Doherty are two male pigs," Jennifer said, " What about talking to a girl without sex getting in the way?"

Bosco looked at her and just stared.

" Well Bosco," Jennifer said, " Say something?"

" You're right," Bosco said, " I never did hear what you had to say."

" I hope you can listen to me now," Jennifer said, " In my own way I do miss talking to you."

" I miss you too," Bosco said.

" I have to get to work," Jennifer said, " See you around."

" You certainly will," Bosco said.

A few hours in the day went by and Jennifer sat outside the school thinking and still didn't know what to think.

" What can I do?" Jennifer said, " Life sure can throw you some surprises."

" Are you coming back inside," one of the teachers asked.

" Yeah," Jennifer said, " I was just enjoying the weather."

" I don't blame you," the teacher said, " It is a nice day out."

Jennifer then went back into the school, but still had a major decision to make.

Jennifer went home that day only to be surprised by Jimmy waiting there.

" What are you doing here?" Jennifer asked.

" I need to talk to you," Jimmy said.

" Are you supposed to be on call?" Jennifer asked.

" Yes," Jimmy said, " But what I have to say is important."

Jennifer sat next to him and a nearby bench.

" Jennifer, I am so sorry," Jimmy said, " I know I have been a jerk towards you."

" You have," Jennifer said, " But I haven't been honest with you either."

" What do you mean?" Jimmy asked.

Jennifer let out a sigh, " I enjoy being with you and in my heart I know I want to," Jennifer said, " I just don't know how we should start."

" We started out being friends," Jimmy said.

" Will you come by after your shift?" Jennifer asked.

" If you want me to," Jimmy answered.

" I do," Jennifer said, " More than anything."

" Then I'll see you later," Jimmy said giving her a quick kiss.

Jennifer just smiled, she was happier then she thought.
