Jack walked into the lovely and stunning restaurant. There was not much lighting, but just enough so that you could see the person you were with. There was a nice dance floor in the middle of the room surrounded by the tables. "Name Sir?" asked the waiter.
"Jack Hudson." He told him. The waiter looked in his book, then led Jack to a table closest to the dance floor. Then he saw the person who would be his date. "Sue?"
Sue had been sitting there for a few minutes, watching the different couples dance together, swaying and turning, so in love. She took a sip of her wine, when she saw the waiter coming towards her followed by a man. She couldn't see his face, but then he walked into the candle light. "Jack?"
Bobby and Lucy were over at Tara's for the night. They sat there drinking wine, eating pasta, and watching Tara's computer screen. They had gone to the restaurant earlier that day and got a waiter to put cameras and microphones at Jack and Sue's table, and they knew that Jack and Sue would have lots to talk about, so they settled in for a long and eventful night.

"So, I guess Lucy's up to her old match making tricks." Jack said, as he sat down.
"Ya, and she's gotten Bobby to help her." Then she looked down at her menu. 'How could Lucy do this to me. She knows how I feel when she trys to set me up with someone. But now this time it's Jack of all people.'
Jack just started at Sue. She was so beautiful, with the candle light shining on her beautiful blond hair, and lovely red dress.

"Come on Sparky say something!" Bobby yelled at the screen.

Jack opened his mouth and was just about to say something when this women came up to him. "Jack Hudson?" she asked. He just nodded his head, not quite sure what to say. "It's me Anna Patterson, from High School."
"Oh, right. How have you been?"
"Good. Just got divorced so I'm here celebrating with some friends." Then she noticed Sue. "Is this your date?"
"No, this is a friend of mine, Sue Thomas." The words were out of Jack's mouth before he could stop them. 'Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!' he yelled at him self.

"Did he just say what I thought he said?" Lucy asked not wanting to believe he said that.
"He did. Oh, Sue's not going to like that." Tara replied.
888888888
"Oh, nice to meet you." She shook Sue's hand then turned back to Jack. "So since your not on a date, would you like to dance?"
8888888888
"Say no Sparky! Say no!"
888888888
"I don't know. I wouldn't want Sue to be here alone."
"Go ahead. Don't let me ruin your good time." Sue told him.
"See she doesn't mind." Then Anna grabbed his hand and dragged him onto the dance floor. Once they were out of sight Sue got up and left. 'How could I get my hopes up. Of course he only thinks of us as friends. I'm so stupid.'
88888888
"No! No! no, this can't be happening. It was all going so well." Lucy said. "I got to get home. Sue's going to be so upset." Then she got up and left.
8888888
Jack finally got away from Anna, and made his way back to Sue. But she wasn't there. He pulled out his cell and called her blackberry 5 times, but she didn't answer. So he went and paid the bill then made his way to Sue and Lucy's appartment.
888888888
"Work is not going to be fun tomorrow." Bobby said to him self.
888888888
Lucy had just gotten home and was putting water in the kettle when Sue walked through the door. Lucy turned around, after she put the kettle on the stove, to see a red faced Sue. " How could you do that to me?" She yelled at Lucy.
"Do what?"
"You know what! Setting me up with Jack! I told you to leave it alone, and you know what happened? I go and get my heart broken 'cause Jack only sees us as friends, and this wouldn't of happened if you hadn't set us up." Then she turned around and stormed out of the kitchen to her room.
Lucy ran after her trying to get her to listen, "Sue!" but all she got was a door in the face.

Jack raced across town through traffic at break neck speed. He finally got there 5 minutes later, jumped out of the car and sprinted up the stairs. He started banging on the door for 10 minutes before Lucy finally answered. "I need to talk to Sue."
"She's not talking to anyone right now, sorry Jack."
"Lucy please, I made a big mistake tonight, and I'm trying to fix it."
"Jack, I know what you did, and I don't blame Sue for not wanting to talk to you. Just give her time."
"Can you just tell her, that it's important?"
"When she's ready." then Lucy closed the door. Jack just stood there, head leaning against the door, just praying that she would forgive him for his stupidity.

My life was going great then Lucy ruins it all. I was trying to move on from him, and with every ounce of my being I don't know why I can't. Maybe I care for him too much? But it hurts me so much 'cause I know he doesn't feel the same way about me, as i feel for him. It's just friendship. 'My friend' he says when he's introducing me to someone. Just once I would like to see him say 'My girlfriend', but it will never happen. I will just sit there everyday in the office, and know what I'm feeling I don't get in return.
Sue sat on her bed writing on her lap top trying to make the pain go away. But it isn't helping her, it just increases it. She can't take it anymore, she needed a vacation. Just some time alone where she could relax and get her mind off everything.

Is that long enough for ya'll.
