Later that night Julie was still confused over what happened with Bobby in the kitchen. She wondered about the meaning of his words and what his change in expression meant. She found herself thinking about what Bobby thought of her, but convinced herself that it was just because she was the only girl in the house and since Bobby doesn't stay in one place long before he gets into some kind of trouble and has to leave, maybe he was just deprived of the finer things in life. To put it simply she managed to convince herself that he was just following guys basic instinct to chase tail every hour of the day. At least that's what she wanted to believe. It made things easer for her that way.
Seven o'clock came around and she was starting to get hungry, so she began what turned out to be a rather long hunt for food. She managed to find a box of macaroni and cheese and decided to be polite and ask the guys if they wanted any.
"Hey I'm making some mac and cheese, does anybody want some?" She called. Angel and Jack answered her saying they did. Jerry had gone home earlier and Bobby was no were to be seen. Not five minutes into cooking Angel and Jack had become restless and came into the kitchen looking for their food.
"Hey slim, food." Angel said.
"Hey tinkerbell, it's coming." Julie responded, Jack laughed at the look Angel gave her in response to the name calling.
They ate their meal in from of the tv and afterwards Julie offered to take care of the dishes. Jack offered to help and Julie gladly accepted, happy for the help. She had always liked Jack. He was the same age as her so she whole life she always found it easer to talk to him or go to him for help. They started washing the dishes together, he washed, she dried.
"So there's no beer left in the house I was going to go out for a drink….. Would you like to come?" Jack asked her. He flashed his shy grin then quickly looked back to the plate he was washing. She could tell he was embarrassed.
"Are you asking me out?"
"Yeah I…I am"
"I didn't know that you liked me." Julie put down the glass she was drying and turned to him. He, in turn turned to look at her putting down what he had in his hands.
"I didn't know I liked you either until a little while ago. Your just…..your so beautiful, and all this shit with my mom…..it's made me think about things and I found that there was one thing I couldn't stop thinking about."
"And what was that." Julie asked suddenly finding herself captured in his bright blue eyes.
"You." His face held a serious expression.
"Jack I'd love to go out with you." Julie couldn't help but smile as she said this. She had never though of Jack as a boyfriend but the more she thought about it the more she liked the idea.
Bobby came home later that night to find Jerry and Angel watching tv on the couch.
"Where is everybody?" He asked.
"Julie and Jackie are gone out." Jerry answered not taking his eyes off the screen.
"Hold the fuck up! Do you mean like together?"
"That's what the man said Bobby." Angel told him.
"What's wrong big brother? You jealous or something?" Jerry joked. When Bobby never had a smart ass remark to say he quickly put two and tow together. "Oh my God you are jealous! Bobby has a thing for Jackie's girl!"
"Shut the fuck up man."
"Hey man we understand," Angel said. Both brothers had lost in tress in the tv, they found something better to watch. Something a lot funnier too. "You haven't been laid in years, now you have the sweet piece of ass walking around right under your nose and your little brother snatched her up before you can make your move."
"Bobby when was the last time you were laid?" Jerry asked laughing the whole time.
"Why don't you ask your wife Jerr. She said herself it was unforgettable." Bobby said as he headed up the stairs to his room. As he walked he could hear Jerry calling behind him,
"Hey man you cant be talking about my baby like that!"
But Bobby didn't care, right now all he could think about was how much he wanted a drink. Or twelve.
