Chapter Five: Just What I needed.
Saturday morning Craig called Marco.
"Marco, what are you doing tonight?"
"Going out, my parents are having a date night at a bed and breakfast..why do you ask?"
"We're going to the same club we went to over winter break, I'm meeting Iris."
"Oh, really...."
Craig smiled "Yeah, we talked last night...we're going to try and make thing work. If you tell anyone...I'll kill you."
"I won't. What time..."
"I'll be over at seven."
Craig was so nervous all afternoon. He had...it wasn't a date with Iris. But they were going to spend time together, away from everyone. He actually would get to spend time with this wonderful woman.
At about five the phone rang. Craig answered it "Hello"
"Thank God its you, I didn't feel like a hang up."
"Iris. How'd you get my number?"
"It was written on the phone, i memorized it last night. I'm a genius remember?" He could feel her smile through the phone lines.
"I forgot. I'm going over to Marco's to spend the night at seven."
"Ok, I"ll be at the Club around 8:30. its 80s night, expect to dance. I can't wait to see you Craig." Iris hung up then, and smiled to herself. She coudln't wait to dance the night away with the most amazing man she knew.
Craig made it to Marco's house about seven. He had clothes for the club, including Joey's hat. Marco was trying to decide between two outfits.
"Its 80s night at the club, if that helps." Craig said, holding up the hat.
"80s night, you've got to be kidding me."
"Iris loves 80s music. I don't get it either, but I get to spend time with her." Craig was practically dancing around Marco's room, which Marco found very cute.
They got dressed and got on the bus headed to downtown Toronto.
They were outside the club at quarter after eight.
"Should we just go in?"
Marco shrugged, "What are you asking me for, you're the one with the woman."
Just then a voice said "Marco, Craig. Over here."
Iris was leaning against the club wall, wearing leggings and a sweatshirt. The boys walked over to her, Craig giving her a hug. Marco just laughed and shook his head, wondering how they were going to be able to keep their chemestry under raps.
"Nice hat."
"you said it was 80s night, didn't you."
"True...you look good Marco. Ready to hang out." Marco nodded, and they went inside to sit with Iris and a couple friends.
The club wasn't very crowded, but Marco automatically found someone to dance with. Marco loved to dance, and he didn't know why. Maybe it was because he was just another person when he dance. He wasn't the odd boy who never quite fit in. It was something he was good at.
Craig and Iris sat and talked for a while, watching the club fill up. IRis introduced him to several friends, including two, Fiona and Mitch, who she said knew everything-they, along with her cousin, were her housemates.
"Also, I'm hoping to set up Mitch with Marco-he's only 18, so it could work."
"Keep him out of trouble-Marco that is." Mitch seemed like a nice enough guy, and Craig trusted Iris's judgement.
"Yeah, something like that. Marco's a nice kid, but seems a bit naive." Iris wanted everyone to be happy, her mother had always said that when you were in love you wanted the whole world to be happy...Wait, was she in love with Craig? Perhaps, but she wanted more time to be sure.
Craig got up to go to the mens room, on his way back he was stopped by a woman. She was blond, and wore a tight skirt and low cut top. "Aren't you a hottie. Dance with me."
"No, I think my girlfriend would get upset." He managed to make it out of her clutches pretty quickly, he thought, as he went back to sit with Iris.
"I just got asked to dance by some woman."
"YOu aren't going to?"
"I told her that I thought my girlfriend would get upset." He got a shy smile out of Iris for that. "I wasn't assuming too much, was I? You are my girlfriend, right?"
"Of course."
"Now we have to go on a real date you know...thursday maybe?"
"ok, we'll have dinner. as long as you study hard all week." They laughed at that-once a teacher, always a teacher.
Just then a song came on that Craig thought was by Madonna.
"Craig, dance with me? This song reminds me of you."
He smiled as he took her by the hand and led her to the dance floor. They danced to the bouncy happy song, and then kept dancing.
After the club, Marco and Mitch and Iris and Craig headed back to the house to talk...at least that was what they all said. Marco and Mitch disappeared as soon as they got to the house.
"Marco's looking happy."
"Can you blame him, Mitch is cute...not as cute as you of course." Iris gave Craig a little kiss as they headed to her room.
"So, is it aproprate to spend the night with a woman before your first date."
"Craig, when have we ever done anything normal. Now scoot over. We're just sleeping." Iris laughed at the look Craig gave her. "What?"
"You're full of it, Iris. I don't think we'll be just sleeping, do you." Then he grabbed her pinning her on the bed. She laughed and he kissed her until they were both breathless.
"Fine..you win. As long as you're here in the morning this time."
"No, we both win." Laughing, he reached up to turn out the light, and spend a night with his girlfriend.
Upcoming: The First Date, and who likes Iris aside from Craig??
