I still don't own them!! Sorry I haven't updated in so long - I've been
planning my wedding, and that takes up SO much time!
Guys and gals. . . it's time for a little something called the lady's choice. I want to see all of you, handsome men out in the middle of the dance floor - and ladies will pick their victim, uh, I mean dance partner. Don't worry guys, if you survive this one, you might have a chance to pick later. Ladies, pick wisely - on the count of three.
"This is our opportunity, Lizzie"
"What do you mean, Jess? I can't just ask him to dance."
ONE!
"No, that would be too forward - but I can."
"And how is this going to work exactly?"
TWO!
"Well, you go ask Jeremy to dance, I'll ask Connor to dance. . . start reminiscing a bit about old times - rekindle some of those old flame. . . puddy in your hand by the end of the night."
"Are you sure?"
TWO AND A HALF!
"When the Wakefield girls are in action, how could any man resist?"
TWO AND THREE QUARTERS!
"Well, when you put it that way - I'm willing to give it a try."
THREE!
Jessica scooted off to corral Conner before a slinky looking brunette stuck her claws in him. She didn't know if the look on his face was relief, or not - but she knew it was score one for the Wakefields.
Elizabeth sauntered over towards Jeremy, and she could almost feel eyes on her back as she walked away. Maybe this was working.
The music started - Wonderful Tonight filled the air, as the couples held each other closely. There was little conversation at first.
"So, Jessica, to what do I owe this pleasure? Why didn't you pick your man?"
"I was doing this for Liz."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, I didn't want her to get stuck dancing with you, if you must know."
"Stuck dancing with me. . . if I remember correctly, your sister used to love getting stuck with me."
"Oh, the was so long ago - she probably barely remembers. I'm surprised that you really remember."
"Of course I remember. How could I forget? I love. . .loved Elizabeth - but that's all over now."
"I don't think so. . .did you say LOVE, as in present tense, LOVE?"
"I just had something in my throat - I didn't say love."
"Maybe it's your heart McDermott - making you say things you don't "mean". . . maybe he should make you say more. What do you have to lose?"
Just then, the song ended - and Jessica walked away - but not before giving him a knowing look. One man down - and now it was time to get to hers.
