Chapter Twenty Five
The whole morning and afternoon was spent with Dean, Casey and Katie at the mall. Dave gave Jesse his credit card and told her to just shop. He'd also made friends with Katie and since she was into sports they'd made a date to watch some football game later that night on Dave's huge screen tv. Jessica had a wonderful time with her friends but now she was nervous. It was time for her to get ready for her "Date" with Randy. She didn't know if it was an official date or anything she just knew it was a planned occasion.
"So, do I look ok?" Jesse asked Casey.
"Amazing. If he doesn't think so, he's crazy"
"Thanks." Jesse smiled.
She had taken Dean's advice and put her black dress strapless dress on with the matching shoes. With it she had on her pendant from Dave and also the diamond effect hoop earrings Katie had gotten her, the new watch casey had gotten her and the bracelet set with pink gems that Dean had gotten her. She took one last look in the mirror and checked her hair. Then she picked up her purse and checked her watch. It was 7:20 so she was a little early. She sat down at on her bed and waited. She heard the door bell ring and then someone come inside.
"Jessica!" Dave called up the stairs.
Surely it couldn't be Randy already but she stood up and made her way downstairs. When she got into the kitchen, she smiled at the sight of Eddie standing there.
"Eddie Guerrero!" Jessica smiled hugging him.
"Hola mamacita. Happy Birthday."
"Thanks"
"Wow, you're all dressed up. You look bonita tonight"
"Thanks Eddie." She smiled again. "I'm waiting for Randy."
"Ahhh, well Dave here told me about you're birthday so, I thought I would come and give my favorite latina a gift"
"Awww, that's so nice of you"
She smiled as he handed her a pink and silver gift bag. She looked inside and pulled out a black shirt. On the front of it, were the words "Eddie's Mamacita." In a flame effect. Jessica laughed.
"It's awesome. Thanks." "All my mamacitas have one." He smiled.
"Well, I'll be sure to wear it when we're at an arena next."
"Ok chica. So come on vato where's the game at?" Eddie said to Dave.
"Oh yeah. Through there. I'll be there in a few, I just wanna see Jessica off."
Eddie nodded and said his goodbyes to Jessica before making his way into the room where the tv was set up.
The door rang again and Jessica looked at Dave.
"That's him. Want me to get it"
She nodded and waited for Dave to ask Randy inside. Then he called her. She walked over to them and smiled. Randy's eyes wandered over her and he smiled.
"Wow..you look amazing"
"Thanks." Jessica said blushing a little "You look good too"
"Ok, I'll leave you too now. Stay safe. She has a curfew and also Randy, strap up."
"Dave!" Jessica said hitting him. "God."
Dave walked away laughing "I was joking. Look after her is all"
Randy nodded and gave Jesse his arm. She linked hers through his and they walked out to his car. He opened the door for her and she slipped inside. He walked around and got into the drivers side and smiled.
"So, where are we going?" Jessica asked.
"It's a surprise. But trust me ok"
"Ok." Jesse smiled. "Before we leave though, I wanna give you something."
"What's that?" Jessica asked.
Randy leaned over and pressed his lips against hers.
