Jackie couldn't help grinning as she rode in the limo with Test. She glanced at him, and saw that he was looking out the window, staring at the sites of the city.
"Test," she called. He turned to look at her.
"Huh?" he asked.
"We're almost here," she informed him.
He then noticed that they were just two blocks away from the hotel. When they finally reached their destination, they got out of the limo and Test went to pick up their bags. They went up to the front desk in the lobby and asked for their room number. The worker gave them two separate keys.
"Since it's still early, do you want to bring our bags up and then go out to dinner after?" Jackie asked hopefully.
"Sorry, I already made plans with Stacy," Test said.
"Oh," Jackie replied, disappointed. She was hoping to have some alone time with him.
"But you can come with us if you want," he offered.
"Sure," she answered happily. It wasn't what she was hoping, but it was better than nothing. She and Test went into the elevators and pressed the buttons to their designated floors. Test got off earlier as his room was on level 5 and hers was on 8. As the door opened she got out and was about to slide the key into the keyhole when suddenly a hand grabbed hers. She turned around and was surprised. "What do you want?'
"I came to talk to you." He paused. "I changed my mind."
"About what?" Jackie's eyebrows furrowed in confusion.
He took a deep breath then resumed speaking.
"I think we should go with the plan again," he said reluctantly.
Jackie smirked.
"Why Randy weren't you the one that said it was stupid and that it would never work? Now you are telling me that you changed your mind? What's the deal?"
Randy rolled his eyes. He knew she was going to give him a hard time.
"Look, I have no other choice. And since you made progress with Test, I think we should give it another try."
Jackie crossed her arms.
"And why should I help you. After all, you did betray me. You didn't think I was going to forget did you?"
Randy sighed.
"If you help, I'll do anything." He gulped. He hoped he wasn't going to regret this.
Jackie grinned.
"Anything?"
Randy nodded.
"You have to do everything I say. No arguments."
"Fine," he agreed hesitantly.
"Test, Yoohoo!" Jackie waved her arms at him, who was standing outside waiting for Stacy. She ran to him.
"There's a little change of plans. Do you think we can have a double date?" she asked.
"A double date?" he repeated.
She nodded.
"I guess. But with who?" he asked curiously.
"Randy," she replied, waiting for his reaction.
"I didn't know you guys were dating." He seemed surprised.
Jackie shrugged.
"Well we don't want a lot of attention. Randy doesn't like people prying into his business," she lied.
Test nodded. Stacy then came out and frowned when she saw Jackie.
"Hi, Jackie. What are you doing here?" Stacy narrowed her eyes at her.
"Well we're going to have a double date. Me and Randy and you and test." She pointed to Randy, who was walking towards her.
"Randy? I didn't you guys were dating," Stacy said in surprise.
Jackie smiled sweetly.
"Well I guess life is just full of surprises."
"So how long have you guys been dating?" Test asked as they were waiting for their order.
"A week/two weeks," Randy and Jackie replied at the same time. They looked at each other.
"Uh, I mean we dated for a week, but it seems longer," Jackie said nervously.
Stacy looked at her suspiciously. Finally their order came. Jackie took a bite of her pasta. She noticed the basket of biscuits on the table and her mouth watered.
"Randy, could you hand me the biscuits?" she asked sweetly. When he didn't seem to hear her, she kicked his shins. He almost choked on his spaghetti. He looked at her.
"What?' he asked annoyed.
"Can you hand me the biscuits?" She feigned a smile so Test wouldn't get suspicious.
"Get it yourself," Randy whispered back.
"But you're my boyfriend," she said through gritted teeth. He was going to get it outside.
Randy grabbed the basket of biscuits and tossed them towards her. Test looked at them and Jackie just smiled nervously.
"Thanks, Randy." She looked at Test and Stacy. "So you guys have any plans? Chicago is a big city, and there's so much to do."
"Well, Stacy wanted to go shopping. You know how girls are," Test teased as Stacy playfully hit him on his shoulder.
"Oh, shopping, I love shopping! Maybe we can all go together," she suggested hopefully.
Stacy looked at Test as if begging him to refuse. He didn't get the message.
"Sure. Stacy loves to have company when we go shopping."
"Great," she chirped happily. She grinned at the look of dissatisfaction on Stacy's face
