Chapter 8: Almost there
"Julie, cmon, Kevin and Ben are waiting", Gwen said hurrying down the stairs.
"One more sec", Julie replied over to her trying to put on her earrings, "Alright, I'm set", she finally said.
Running downstairs, she found Gwen looking at her reflection. Her mouth opened in awe.
As Gwen turned to look at her," What's wrong?", she asked, fixing her heels.
"You look stunning, Gwen", she managed to say.
Gwen smiled," Back at you", she complimented back.
They were wearing the dress they bought last week and Gwen was glad they could wear it. She didn't put that much make-up letting her natural beauty stand out.
"Hey, Jules, is this too formal? I can still get changed", she said waiting for her opinion.
"Don't, just stay there and I'll get the door. I'm sure Kevin will love it", she said running towards the door, struggling in her high heels, as soon as she heard the doorbell.
She looked at the clock, exactly 7pm. Wow, Kevin must have set a world record for keeping track of the time. She heard muttering just outside the door and went over to see what's gonna happen.
She heard Julie saying," You should see Gwen. I swear she looks drop dead gorgeous than me".
Ben disagreed," Well, you'll always be prettier to me", he said. Gwen giggled. Is this really Ben talking? Why did he sound so….maturely unobnoxious.
But where could her boyfriend be? She walked over to his cousin and best friend who was still deep in conversation.
"Hey Ben, have you seen Kevin?", she asked, her eyes scanning the area.
"Oh yeah, he's just right around the corner", he replied and turned to her, "somewhere….wow, Gwen, is that you?", he asked admiringly. He never looked at me like that, well except those times when he thought I was dead but was not and when I paid for his smoothies. Julie looked annoyed while Gwen looked a little confused. She nodded at Julie.
His girlfriend thumped him angrily behind the head and marched outside, getting away from him.
"Ow, what was that for?", Ben whined.
Gwen just laughed to herself," Julie's right, you are still the doofus I know, of course it's me", she answered for Julie.
"Sure you are, but I should probably follow her", he stated running towards Julie, realizing his mistake a while ago.
Kevin was slightly leaning on his beloved ride, waiting for his girlfriend and friends to come back. They were taking too long, he thought. Ben suggested to get the girls so that they could come back at a decent time for their folks not to worry. He only wished this weekend was a week but it was still impossible. He has to go with the time given for them.
He saw Ben coming towards him, looking grim," Slight problem, I need a minute. Check on Gwen for a minute", he ordered then ran in search for Julie.
"Sure, make it fast!", he yelled after him. Ben waved his arm to say ok.
He went inside, only to see Gwen sitting on the stairs, apparently waiting for him. Her eyes lit up as soon as she saw him.
"You are never a gentleman, you know that", she said menacingly as she stood up with his help. Kevin chuckled and stared at her for a while. Gwen snapped her fingers in front of him.
"Kevin, you're drooling! Alright, I probably should change", she said firmly as she turned around ready to ran upstairs again. His arms caught her hand and pulled her back.
"You look divine. So never change", he said, then planted a single kiss in her cheek. He pulled her out to his car while Gwen contentedly followed.
"So where are we going?", she asked as she got in the car. Kevin was searching for Ben and Julie who was taking more than a minute to make up.
"Don't bother asking cause I'm not telling", he replied, smirking at her.
Gwen raised her eyebrows at him, frowning.
"Save it, Gwen, it's not going to work", he said as he started the engine, Ben and Julie in sight.
