Chapter 1
"EVA!!!" Jodie shrieked as she jumped off Charlie's lap. "Jodieee! Haha, girl, I haven't seen you in ages!" Eva was grinning like a madman.madwoman?
The three of them were in Charlie and Jodie's apartment. They were all getting together, the old gang, for a reunion. Erik would be coming soon from his mother's house, Sergei and Galina would be a bit late since they had to come all the way from California, and Maureen and Jim.who knew where they were?
Jodie had been sitting on Charlie's lap, kissing, when the door to their apartment burst open. And there was Eva. "So, when are the others coming?" Eva asked excitedly. "Ooooh, I can't wait to see everybody! We all have so much to catch up on!" "Ha ha, Erik, Maureen and Jim should be here any minute and Sergei and Galina's plane is arriving in about 45 minutes," Jodie answered happily, glancing at the clock on the wall. "Hey, you know what? I'm gonna go outside and wait for them. That way I can grab a smoke, too. Plus.don't you want me to get rid of some of this energy?" Eva really was going insane now. She took out a cigarette and skipped backwards toward the door, smashing into it. She fell to the ground and started rolling around, laughing hysterically the whole time.
Charlie got up and opened the door for her.
"Yeah, you just might wanna open the door. We haven't gotten any of those, you know, non-existant walk through doors yet," he said as he helped her up.
"Good ol' Charlie!" Eva thanked him. This time, she walked out the OPEN door and pranced down the hallway. She turned around at the top of the stairs.
"I'll come up as soon as someone comes! Don't miss me too much!"
Jody turned to Charlie.
"Do you think she's gonna make it down the stairs without falling?"
"Nah, don't worry about her. You should be worrying about yourself!" Charlie warned her as he tackled her on the couch and began tickling her. As he stared at her face, gleaming with laughter, he thought, *She has got to be the most beautiful girl in the world.*
Jody stopped laughing.
"Why are you staring at me funny? Do I have something in my teeth? *gasp* I'm not growing a uni-brow, am I?" Jody panicked as she thought of her mom and grandma. They both had unibrows. Jody'd been praying since she was a little girl that it was just a coincidence, and that it wasn't a family gene or anything.
"Hah, no, nothing."
"Well then don't scare me like that anymore! You know how I feel about unibrows." Jody playfully slapped him across the face, and immediately put on a puppy dog face.
"Uh oh, I was a bad girl." Jody said sadly.
"Aah, stop! I hate the puppy dog face! Especially on you! Alright, alright.how to make it go away." Charlie thought.
He suddenly raced into the kitchen and closed the door. He didn't come out for a couple minutes, Jody sitting there completely clueless, still with her classic puppy dog face. When Charlie came back, he had 2 tall glasses of strawberry banana smoothies.
"Aww, Charlie! You never told me you knew how to make these!" Jody exclaimed as she grabbed one out of his hand and started slurping the drink furiously. Of course, the sad face had disappeared; it was replaced with innocent eyes concentrated on the smoothie, and cheeks that contracted every time she took a sip. *He is the nicest, sweetest guy in the world.*
