Chapter Seventeen: Jessica's P.O.V.

Randy sighed and sat back down in his seat. "So, I take it you really like Dave," he said to me.

"Yeah, I do. I think he's a really great guy," I replied.

"Well, don't get too attached because the last thing he needs right now is a girlfriend,"

"You know, Randy, I really don't know what you are trying to pull. Just two days ago, you were telling me to go out with Dave when he asked me out again and now you're telling me not to get too involved? It just doesn't make sense."

"It doesn't have to make sense," he replied, getting in my face. "Just do what I say and nothing will happen."

"I don't understand what you want me to do," I said, trying to back away from him.

"You can go out with him all you want but there's two things you can't do. One, don't expect a long-term relationship and two, don't fall for him because once you do and you tell him, he'll be out of your life faster than an ugly girl out of my hotel room. Got that?" he asked, now just inches away from my face.

I nodded quickly as he backed down. Dave came back a few minutes later with my food. He handed it to me and then walked over to Randy.

"How'd it go?" I heard Dave ask him.

"Just fine, big man," Randy answered, smiling. "Just fine."

Sorry that this chapter is really short, I just thought this would be a good way to end the discussion between Randy and Jessie. I promise the next ones will be shorter though.
