When Jackie and Randy finally arrived at her house, she went up to ring the doorbell. After a minute or so, the door opened.

"Jackie, you're here!" Mrs. Gayda exclaimed and went to hug her daughter.

"I miss you so much," Jackie said as she returned the hug. After a few moments, they let go and Mrs. Gayda finally noticed Randy standing by the side awkwardly.

"And who's this?" she asked, looking at him.

"This is Randy. He's my boyfriend." Jackie looked at him, gesturing for him to introduce himself.

Randy extended his hand to Mrs. Gayda. "Hi. Nice to meet you."

Mrs. Gayda shook his hand and leaned into Jackie's ear. "He's cute."

"Mom!" She turned red at her mother's comment. "Is it okay if he stays here?"

"Sure. There are plenty of rooms."

Jackie took Randy's hand and led him to his room. "You'll be staying here."

Randy looked around the room and found it small but cozy. There was a bed with two pillows in the middle of the room and a small desk stood by it. A lamp was placed on top of the desk. "Nice," he commented.

"Hurry up and unpack. I want to take you to the ice skating rink."

He frowned. "Ice skating rink?"

"Yes. Don't tell me you never ice skate before?" She wanted to laugh at the thought.

"Of course I have," he said defensively. He didn't want her to know he never skated in his life.

"Well then you'll have no problem going with me."

When she left, Randy put his head into his hands and groaned. "What have you gotten yourself into?" he asked himself.

"Wheee! Isn't this fun?" Jackie asked Randy as she dragged him along the ice.

"Yeah," he lied as he tried to balance himself on the slippery surface. He managed to stumble a few times and hoped Jackie didn't notice.

"Why don't you just admit it?" Jackie turned around to face him.

"Admit what?"

"That you don't know how to skate," she said matter-of-factly.

"I do so!" Randy responded defensively.

Jackie folded her arms. "Then prove it."

"Fine." As he moved a little, he felt himself losing his balance and fell down onto the ice.

Jackie extended her hand towards him and helped him up. "You don't have to prove anything to me. It's okay to admit you need help sometimes."

"I thought women likes it when a man acts manly, not being all wimpy and weak."

"You know what's manly? It's when a guy can admit that he can't do everything and doesn't let his pride or ego get in the way of his good judgment."

Randy nodded his head. "I guess I never thought of it that way."

"C'mon. Let my buy you some ice cream."

Randy feigned shocked. "You're paying? I thought I'll never live to see this day."

Jackie laughed and grabbed his hand. "Let's go before it closes."

"Okay but I want the triple deluxe sundae with extra hot fudge."

She made a face at his demands. "And you said I eat a lot."

"Hey, you know what they say. A way to a man's heart is through his stomach."

"Then you must be really falling in love with me," she joked.

Is Jackie right? Is Randy starting to fall for her? R&R please!!
