Chapter 13
Trish slipped on the little black dress and put on her pink strappy heels as Amy fixed her hair. "Hold still, Trish!" She said. "Sorry!" Trish replied. Trish had been antsy all night. Amy had to start over on doing her make-up twice since Trish wouldn't stop moving. Amy slipped a light pink flower in Trish's hair and admired her work in the mirror. "Amy I love it!" Trish cried. "Thank you so much!" "You're welcome!" Amy replied as they hugged. "Careful, Trish. You'll ruin your hair." "Sorry,"
There was a knock at the door. Trish jolted up. "Who is it?" She squeaked. "It's Jeff. You ready?" She opened the door. There was a silence as they both admired each other. Jeff had his hair pulled back and was wearing black pants with a simple white t-shirt and nice jacket. Jeff was the first to speak. "You look amazing…as usual." She blushed. "Thanks, Jeff. You look awesome, too." "Should we get going?" Trish looked back at Amy. "Oh, hey, Ames." Jeff said. "Didn't see you there." "Hey, Jeff." She smiled. "Well, we'll see you at the club after out date." Jeff said taking Trish's arm. "Alright," Amy said following them out the door. "Good luck, guys." She said folding her arms over her chest and watching them leave.
Matt walked up behind her and she leaned her head against his chest. "They look so happy, Matt." She said sounding as if Trish was her own daughter. Matt sighed, surprising even himself by letting a small smile tug at the corners of his lips. "Yes, they do."
They had gone out to eat and took a horse carriage to the park. Trish shivered as the night chill hit her skin. Jeff noticed and wrapped his jacket around her shoulders. "Jeff…you're only wearing a t-shirt. You're gonna get cold." "It's alright, Trish. I'm fine." He said sliding his arm around her waist. She became warm to his touch. "Ya know…I never thought I'd be actually dating you, Jeff." "And I never thought I'd be dating you, either. But, now that we are dating…I'm glad it's happening." She smiled up and him and he leaned down to kiss her. The warmth of his lips sent shivers through her heated but cold body. "You want to head on over to the club? We'll only stay for a minute or so to tell them the good news then…um, we'll head over to my hotel room…if you want." He said smiling. "Sounds great," She smiled back at him.
Before they walked into the club Trish gave Jeff back his jacket. "Don't worry. I'll be taking that off later anyways," She winked. He slid his arm around her neck as she placed hers around his back. They walked in together and stopped to look for their friends. Amy shook Matt's shoulder as she spotted Jeff and Trish cozying up to each other. The rest of them looked and smiled at the site. "Jeff! Trish! We're over here!" Matt called. They both looked over at their friends and smiled. "So do you guys have any good news to tell us?" Adam asked as Jeff and Trish approached the table. "Nothing that you probably haven't already figured out," Jeff said holding Trish closer to him. They all laughed and started silently clapping. "So, Jeff, how did I do with Trish?" Amy asked. "Amazing. Seeing Trish in that dress could knock me out of the coma any day." Jeff laughed. "It is a beautiful dress, Trish." Amy said. "Thanks!" Trish smiled. "I think I'm gonna have to wear this more often!"
"Come on guys! Sit down!" Jay said scooting over and patting the space next to him. "Thanks for the offer, guys. But we're gonna head back to the hotel. I think we have a little more talking to do." "Well, alright, Jeff. Have fun, you two!" Amy called as they walked away. They all watched then shared a laugh as Jeff and Trish exited the club. "I dunno about you guys, but I never saw that coming." Chris said. They all agreed. Amy looked at Matt. She laughed at the expression on his face. "Betcha can't wait to double-date with them, huh?" He laughed, easing up a little. "Nope,"
