Jamie waltzed down the stairs. It was Saturday afternoon. He was whistling some catchy song off the radio as he strolled into the kitchen. It was pretty obvious that he was in a good mood. Bristol snorted with laughter.
"Why do you look so happy?" She was filing her nails down to the perfect tip. Today was a spa day at Selene's house, and she wanted to look extra good, and be extra fun to hang out with. She needed to make up for that last spat they'd gotten into. Selene had claimed she was over it, but EVERYONE knew how she was.
"I'm just going out with some friends, which is gonna be fun I guess." Jamie held his breath as he moved around the kitchen, texting into his Droid.
"Sounds cool Mr. Macho." Bristol rolled her eyes. "I'm gonna be at Selene's all day, so just to let you know."
"Oh?" Jamie said, stopping in his footsteps. "With who?"
"Who do you think?" Bristol grumbled. "Everyone except Daniela. She has AH-NOTHER date with her boyfriend."
"Even Dylan?" Jamie blinked a few times to reassure himself that Dylan wouldn't blow him off.
"I assume so. Unless she told Selene she wasn't coming and Selene forgot to tell us or something. Why do you care?" Bristol frowned. It wasn't her brother's business to ask these sort of questions.
"I don't care, I was curious." Jamie mumbled. He then proceeded to text Dylan.
Jamie: Hey…are we still hanging out 2day?
Dylan: Why wouldn't we?
Jamie: Oh…Bristol mentioned some spa day.
Dylan: Just called 2 cancel actually, but thanks for the reminder
Jamie:
Sighing he stuffed his phone back in his pocket. He couldn't wait to see Dylan.
Daniela spritzed on some of her favorite perfume, Victoria's Secret Heavenly Stardust. She then applied some gloss and brushed out her hair. Her and Daniel were going out to the pizza place, Heavenly Slice, and then were probably going to chat for a bit. She loved being with Daniel, since he was the most adorable boyfriend any girl could have. In fact, he was going to be there to pick her up any minute.
The doorbell rang right on cue as Daniela walked down the stairs. She opened the door and was face to face with Daniel, her blue eyed, blond haired prince.
"Hey you!" She cried, and flung her arms around his neck. She hadn't seen her boyfriend since she'd been in Hawaii, and the reunion was quite sweet.
"Well Hello Daniela," Daniel whispered, his cute British accent sending Daniela into a fit of happy giggles. Daniel's hand went in her jacket pocket and stored a bag of sweets inside. She smiled.
"Aw Daniel, you're the best." She pulled away slowly and stared at him in the face. He looked great. She smiled a bitter-sweet smile. "You have to promise me never to go back to England."
Daniel sighed. "I was kind of hoping you wouldn't bring it up again…you know I can't help it…I so badly don't want to go." He dropped his arms to his sides and breathed in the warmish air. "Let's go have some fun though, okay?"
Daniela smiled. "Yeah. Sorry. I just…"
"You don't have to say anything. I know how you feel." Daniel tenderly put his arm around his girlfriend and began to walk down the pathway.
Dylan began cracking up as Jamie told her the story of when he and Bristol had been babies. She could listen to hours at his rambling, it was the most adorable thing. "Ah Jamie, I miss hanging out with you," she grinned, as they walked toward Heavenly Slice.
"Yeah, me too." Jamie said, his tone serious. It was no longer as joking as when he spoke earlier. "I miss us being friends."
"I know," Dylan mumbled, picking at a loose thread in her jacket. It was becoming a sort of a bad habit now.
"Well, we're friends now aren't we?" He laughed. They entered the pizza place, and sat down at a booth for two. "Did you make the team?" Jamie asked to break the ice.
"As a matter of fact, I did." Dylan grinned ear to ear. The sight of her happiness filled Jamie with a sort of ecstasy. All of the sudden, Dylan's face fell.
"But it won't matter. I'm thinking of quitting the team, actually." Dylan swirled her straw around in the cup of water the waitress had just brought.
"Why would you do that?" Jamie practically yelled. "You pretty much live for soccer, and everyone knows it."
"The P.C…the schedule doesn't exactly fit with mine." Dylan shrugged her shoulders. "It's not like I'm pro or anything.
"You are really good though." Jamie said, that serious tone returning. He looked so cute Dylan could hardly drink her water without wanting to scream. She was actually hanging out with the hottest guy in the room.
Just then, as Dylan was lost in reverie, Daniela and Daniel walked into the restaurant. Dylan's straw fell right out of her mouth as she made eye contact with her BFF and her BF.
"DYLAN?" Screeched Daniela, rushing over to her. "What are you- woah." Daniela whipped her head around and saw Jamie, sitting, looking a bit baffled and scared.
"Hey." Dylan mumbled, looking down at the table.
"Hi." Jamie said, through pursed lips.
"Do Selene and Bristol know about this?" She asked, hands on hips. She pursed her own lips and glanced from side to side.
"Not exactly…" Jamie groaned. "Bristol wouldn't understand. But why Selene? Why would she care?"
"She likes you." Daniela stated, straight up. She slid in the booth next to Dylan and mentioned for Daniel to come do the same. "You guys…have some explaining to do."
