Chapter Fourteen
"Hey, Kirsten, have you talk to Jessi lately?" Scott asked.
"Uh yeah I did yesterday, but only for about 3 minutes. She was leaving to go out with Patrick. Why?" Kirsten asked as she closed the magazine she was looking at and walked to the kitchen, where Scott was cooking.
"I just haven't really talked to her. The last time was last week when she at the park with him." He said as he stirred the food.
"Have you called her?" Kirsten asked.
"Yeah, I'll call and leave a message on her machine, then I'll go out somewhere with you and she'll call and leave a message and back and forth. I cant ever get to her when she's home." Scott said.
"Oh, well, have you called her cell?" Kirsten asked.
"I get the voice mail." Scott said as he fixed Kirsten's plate and brought it to the table. He got his and they sat down to eat.
"Oh well, I don't really know what to say or do. Just try again later." Kirsten said as she took a bite of her food. "MmMm this is good." She said.
"Do you mind if I call her now?" Scott asked.
"Now? We're eating right now!" Kirsten said.
"I know but now that I'm thinking about it, I won't belong babe." He said.
"Go ahead if you want to." She said as he got up and walked quickly to the phone. "Jessica?" He said once he had dialed and she answered.
"Hey Scott! What's up?" She asked.
"Nothing, Kirsten and I were eating. I'm glad I finally caught you though. I was wondering if you want to do something tomorrow?" He asked.
"Oh Patrick and I are going to the play West Side Story. I've always wanted to see it and its here. What about the day after that?" Jessica asked.
"Cant, I'm doing something with my dad." He said.
"What about the day after that?" She asked.
"Uh yeah, I'm free." He said.
"Cool, see you then. I'll come to your place." Jessica said.
"All right, bye." He said and hung up the phone.
"Well?" Kirsten asked once he had sat back down.
"I talked to her. Tomorrow she's busy with Patrick and the day after I'm gonna be with my dad so I figured we would do something the day after that." Scott said.
"Oh but I thought we were going to go have dinner." Kirsten argued.
"No that's not till the 19th." He said.
"Yeah, the day after you spend time with your dad." She said.
"Oh shoot. Ok well we're not having dinner till that night. I'll spend the day with her and that night with you." He said.
"Ok!" Kirsten said and finished her dinner.
Two days pasted and Scott went fishing with his dad. They spent most of the time talking about what Scott had been up to.
"So tell me about this Kirsten girl. You used to only talk about Jessica but I've heard Kirsten's name a few times in between the Jessica's." He dad said and he reeled in the line and recasted.
"Oh Jessica hooked Kirsten and I up. She's a really nice girl." Scott said.
"Are you serious about her?" His dad asked.
"Not that serious, we just got together a few days ago." Scott said.
"Oh, so do you think it'll last?" His dad asked.
"I don't know, why are you asking me this?" Scott said and he quickly reeled in a bass. "Get the net Dad!" He said. Once they had into the boat they removed the hook and measured it.
"Hate to say it Scott, its 2 inches below the limit. Throw her back." He said. Scott grabbed the fish and tossed it back. "The reason I asked was because you talk about Jessica a lot. I would have like to meet her. I thought maybe something was happening with the two of you."
"Me and Jessica? No we're just friends and even if there was something we couldn't do anything about it." Scott said.
"Why?" His dad asked.
"Because she has a boyfriend and I have Kirsten." Scott said once he finished hooking a worm and casting.
"Yeah but didn't you just hook up with Kirsten? How long has Jessica been with her guy."
"She got with him around the same time Kirsten and I got together." Scott said.
"Well then if I were you I wouldn't give up on her." He said.
"I wont." Scott said. "I mean there is nothing to give up on. We are just friends."
"Oh and I believe you too."
"It's true dad. I like Kirsten." Scott said.
"Well I'm just glad you're finally over Shelby. I don't care who you like and hooked up with, just as long as you don't waste your time waiting for Shelby to come back." He said.
"Yea, I know." Scott said softly.
"What do you say we call it a day? We're not really getting any bites." He asked. Scott nodded and pulled in the anchor.
Once Scott was back home, he took a shower and lied in front on the TV. He started flipping through the channels when the phone rang.
"Hey this is Scott and I'm not here, leave a message after the beep." Scott sat there, waiting to see who it was and stopping the TV on Sponge Bob.
"Hey Scott, its Jessica. I know your not home but I was just calling to let you know my favorite episode of Sponge Bob is on. The one with Patrick and the Pinkie. See you tomorrow. MUAH!"
Scott smiled and laughed a little at the message as he relaxes and fell asleep to the sound of Patrick banging on glass and screaming Pinkie.
"Hey, Kirsten, have you talk to Jessi lately?" Scott asked.
"Uh yeah I did yesterday, but only for about 3 minutes. She was leaving to go out with Patrick. Why?" Kirsten asked as she closed the magazine she was looking at and walked to the kitchen, where Scott was cooking.
