An Unforgettable Evening

DING DONG.

"Bobby, get the door!"

"Who is it?"

"Get it!"

"Who the hell is it?"

"A friend, damn it! GO!"

Bobby grunted as he got off the couch where he sat oh so comfortably in while watching an ice hockey competition going on on the television. He took big steps and came towards the door, and unlocked it, pulling it back towards him.

He blinked.

"Uh, may I help you?" he asked, one eyebrow raised.

"Hello, I'm here to see Jack," the girl asked. She had dark brown hair which gently flowed down slightly past her shoulders. Her eyes were a warm shade of brown, and she looked pretty good.

"Sorry, miss, but I think you've got the wrong house," Bobby grinned, "Jackie boy's gay. There's no way you can be his girlfriend." The young girl laughed, showing off her pearly white teeth, "Oh, he sure is gay alright! I'm just a friend. The name's Cassandra, bur I hate it, so call me Cass. Never call me Cassie or I'll kill ya," she grinned impishly.

Bobby chuckled and let her in.

"Jack's upstairs doing God knows what. So why are you here?"

"Oh, Jack invited me over for dinner. He didn't tell you guys?" Cass' face scrunched up.

Bobby slowly shook his head.

Cass bit her lip, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't intrude. I'll be going now."

Just as she turned to leave, they heard loud footsteps on the stairs, and saw Jack jump over the last 3 steps. Bobby raised an eyebrow. Jack had dressed up. He was wearing a collared shirt which was a midnight blue colour, completed with dark blue jeans. He wore white socks and had his hair gelled up. He saw Jack ran past him and grabbed Cass' wrist, "Where are you going?" Jack asked. His greenish blue eyes were clouded with confusion and surprise. "Why didn't you tell your family I was coming over, Jack?" Cass said, mocking hurt. Jack cringed, "Ah, damn. It slipped my mind."

Cass had an expression of hurt on her face, "Jack Mercer, I'm not important enough till I can actually slip your mind?! Fine, then!"
Cass huffed and gave a dramatic exit, swinging the door wide open and just leaving it like that as she began walking out of their driveway.

Jack gaped after her.

"Boy, what the hell are you waiting for? Go after her!" Bobby whacked the back of Jack's head. "Damn it, Bobby! Ow!" Jack scowled but then ran out of the house. Bobby stood out on the front porch, watching Jack run after Cass, grabbing her shoulders and turning her to face him. He said a few things to her, and she crossed her arms, one feet tapping on the ground. She shook her head several times and Bobby saw that her lips twitched a little, and she slowly nodded. Jack looked relieved and startled Cass by hugging her, and she awkwardly patted his back and laughed. They both then walked back to the house side by side, both smiling and looking satisfied.

Bobby smirked at them and followed them in, shaking his head.

"Jack, Jack, Jack… what will you ever do without me?"

Angie felt her eyelids slowly closing. She sat back up on the chair and shook her head a few times, tapping herself lightly on the cheek to feel more awake. She was exhausted from today. Amanda was a nice person alright, but she had way too much energy…

Amanda's mother was very… Amanda.

Flashback: In the Car, After School

"Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God!" Amanda squealed, bouncing on the backseat of her mother's Honda, "Taylor Hickman asked me out! He asked me to go to the movies with him! I can't believe it! Oh my God!!" she yelled out in glee. Angie was a little disturbed but nevertheless, put on a smile.

"What am I going to wear!? How should I do my hair? What about shoes? Should I wear sneakers, or will that just make me look like a guy? Heels? But my feet hurt in heels! What about sandals? No way! Too stupid looking! Mommmmm!! I still can't believe TAYLOR HICKMAN, TAYLOR, asked me to go to the movies with him!"

Her mother smiled at the two girls in the backseat, "Well, you better believe it, darling. You're a pretty girl, and any guy would be insane not to date you! My gorgeous little girl is growing up!" A wide grin spread onto Amanda's face, "Really?"

"You bet, honey! Just wait till you grow older! You'll shine even more!" her mother grinned, "So Angie, do you have a boyfriend?"

Before Angie could say anything, Amanda rudely interrupted, "Oh, no. Angie just has a crush on Hunter Warrens." Angie felt her cheeks heat up and she was sure she turned red.

"Oh, that boy that lives near our butcher, Mr. Kellington?" Mrs. Ryans pipped.

"The very one, Mom!"

"Oh, he's a sweet boy. He is a good one. You have good taste, Angie. He is a very good looking boy."

Angie just kept quiet for the rest of the drive.

End Flashback

She looked out the window and thought of today…

He twisted the doorknob and trudged into his room, eyes half shut. Jack kicked off his sneakers and slipped his shirt over his head, one hand rubbing his stomach. He felt a little queasy from eating and laughing too much during dinner. He threw it on the floor and unbuttoned his jeans. He pulled them down to his ankles and kicked the clothes into the heap of dirty clothes nearby the foot of his bed on the floor.

He then dug into the drawers and pull out boxers, which were a plain colour of black. He proceeded to the bathroom, with a smile on his face.

Why was he smiling?

He did not know why, and it annoyed him. It was just… stuck.

He tapped himself lightly on the cheek, "Wake up, man. Don't be such a goof. Stop smiling for no apparent reason," he chided himself. He squeezed some mint flavoured toothpaste onto the toothbrush. He glided the brush on his teeth several times; at the same time, having a stare down contest with his reflection in the mirror. He spat it out and gargled, washing and wiping his mouth. He liked the minty water. It was his favourite part of brushing his teeth. He flashed back to when he was a kid… when the only reason he'd brush his teeth was because he wanted the taste in his mouth.

He wished everyone else a goodnight and went to his room. He plopped onto top of his bed and lied down, closing his eyes.

"'Night Angie…" he muttered. When he didn't hear the soft, innocent voice reply, he sat up in bed.

Oh, right. She's at that girl's house for a sleepover.

Jerry had to drive there to send Angie her clothes, towels and necessities.

Few hours later, Jack woke up, frowning. He couldn't sleep right. He kept tossing and turning in bed, and it annoyed him. The worse part was that he didn't know why exactly couldn't he sleep. Maybe it was because Angie wasn't there, and he had gotten too used to her presence. He shrugged the feeling off. He thought of the evening, when Cass came over for dinner. How she had made a great impression on his family… She was the first girl friend he'd ever bring back home. Oh man, Jack. Get a grip on yourself. You're making it sound like you and Cass are in a relationship! He thought of what she had worn earlier. A cute short-sleeved red shirt, which on the front said, "Don't Squeeze Us" and below that sentence, were two lemons, which followed the shape of her breasts. It was very comical and they had spent a few minutes laughing at it. She wore vintage shorts and she wore a pair of sandals, which completed her outfit.

A/N : Outfit is in profile, must see shirt! Funny!!

She looked great.

He suddenly felt his hand feeling his left cheek as he lied on his right side. It felt heaty and cool at the same time, if that made sense. It still tingled from the touch of Cass' lips…

Flashback

"Bye, dear. Do come again anytime soon," Evelyn smiled warmly at her as she was about to walk out of the kitchen. Bobby sniggered, "Yea, maybe Jack will become less gay!" He laughed out really loudly while Jack rolled his eyes, "Hardy-har, Bobby. Hardy-ha ha ha ha ha." Cass smirked, "Jack will always be my little gay man."

"Oh, great. Bad enough I get this nonsense from Bobby everyday. Not you too, Cass!" Jack wailed, scratching the back of his head.

Cass and Bobby laughed, joined in by Jerry and Angel. Evelyn just smiled. She loved moments like these, even though one of the boys were being bullied. It was a light moment, where worries were forgotten and the atmosphere was just so lovely. She felt her heart get warmer as she observed each and every one of her beloved children. Jack was standing by the stairs, trying hard not to smile but to put on a solemn face. Bobby was by the door to the kitchen, arms crossed and just grinning. Jerry sat on the stairs with Angel, shaking his head as he smiled at the comical conversation that Jack, Bobby and Cass were having. Angel just smiled, looking content. Evelyn walked up to Bobby from behind and tapped his shoulder lightly, "Bobby, don't bully your younger brother." She smiled.

"I'll try not to, Ma. He's just so cute, isn't he, Cass? A typical little fairy!"

Jack's jaw dropped open, his mouth forming an 'O'.

Cass' eyes grew big. Her lips twitched and she bit her lip, trying not to chuckle.
"Bobby, I'll pay you back for this," Jack muttered, turning red.

Bobby winked at him, "Sure. Someday."

Cass looked at her wristwatch and gasped, "Damn it! I better get going. I'm really late. Thank you so much for the great dinner, Ms Evelyn."

"Oh, anytime. Drop by whenever you like. You're always welcomed here," Evelyn smiled at her. Cass grinned.

"I'll walk you out to the sidewalk, Cass," Jack said. They opened the door and a gush of wind blew in. It was windy outside, and rather cold. Angel jumped up and ran into the living room, "Damn, that was cold!" Jerry laughed and followed to tease Angel.

"Crikey," Cass muttered.

"Be right back, I'll get my jacket for you," Jack disappeared into the living room and came back with a thick jacket, which had to be zipped up. It was warm and a little too big for Cass. She smiled at him and muttered thanks as he helped her put it on. He nodded at her. He then gently pushed her out of the house and walked together.

They reached the sidewalk, where Cass stopped and attempted to take off the jacket.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Jack asked, awed. "Giving you back your jacket," Cass mumbled as she fiddled with the zip.

"Oh, no, you're not. You're keeping the jacket. You can always return it to me tomorrow," Jack sighed. They were quiet for a moment.

"I better get going."

"Yea."

"See you tomorrow?"

"Yup. Hug?"

Cass smiled at him and threw her arms around him, "God, Jack. Grow any taller and I'll have to tiptoe." He chuckled and wrapped his arms around her, just above the waist. She pulled away and suddenly, her lips made contact with his cheek.

She jerked back, blushed and waved, "Bye, Jack!". She then proceeded to run home.

End flashback

Jack didn't understand.

What were these fuzzy feelings in his stomach?

Could it be…

Oh, no.

God forbid it, no.

He can't.

He can't be falling in love with his best friend.

I hope you're happy. I hope you're proud how I did 5 pages within 30 minutes :)
