Ten Year Reunion

Chapter Two

The Lead Up

1992- August

"Is Bob coming with you?" asked Kim as she cradled the phone between her shoulder and ear and light a cigarette in her kitchen.

"I don't know yet. I asked him to but he doesn't know if he will be able to get time off," replied Lindsay on the other line. It was Thursday night and the two were having their weekly talk. The reunion was a week away now.

"Isn't he the boss though?" asked Kim in confusion,"Can't he just take time off whenever he can?"

"No he isn't the boss. He's the silent partner. The studio is not his real job. He's really an actor. He just got a job in a independent film and doesn't know if he can get the time off to fly out with me," replied Lindsay, lowering her voice slightly at the sound of movement from the next room.

"Oh right," murmured Kim as she took a long drag from the cigarette in her hand. She had forgotten that Bob was also an actor.

"Is Mike going with you?"

"Probably not, I haven't really asked him, " answered Kim, adjusting herself in the kitchen chair. Her and Mike weren't really serious about one another. He was just some guy she was seeing. "The only reason I would bring him is to make Daniel jealous," she added thinking about how he was probably going to bring that little wife of his with him.

"You think he would bring his wife?" asked Lindsay as she stood up from her seat and closed the door. She was at Bob's and didn't want to awake him.

"Why not?" she asked.

"I dunno," shrugged Lindsay, "would she really want to go? It's not like its her reunion or anything."

"I guess," mumbled Kim, getting tired of discussing Daniel and his wife. It wasn't like she was jealous because she wasn't. She knew how Daniel felt about Raven, he had told her that he didn't love her.

"I really don't want to go to this thing," cried Lindsay childishly as she buried her face into her hands. Ever since she had RSVP a month ago, she had been regretting it. She couldn't handle facing Nick. She was afraid that when she saw him, that she would do something stupid, like she had done the last time they were together.

"Too late for that!" laughed Kim into the phone. "Come on Lindsay, don't let Nick and Sara control you like this. You need to come, I miss seeing my best friend!" She missed hanging out with Lindsay. She didn't have to many girlfriends. She hung out occasionally with Amy and Millie but it wasn't the same. She saw the guys every once in a while. But hanging out with them was not the same without her female friend.

"I know I know, I miss you too," she replied. She knew she was being stupid with this whole Nick thing. And couldn't avoid it any longer. Her and Nick had both moved on. He was with Sara now and she was with Bob, well sort of. She wasn't really sure what her and Bob was. They had only been going out for a couple of months now. She liked him, he was a fun guy to be around.

"So when will you be here?"

"My flight lands Wednesday night," replied Lindsay. She had thought about flying in on the Friday of the reunion but didn't want to be jetlagged. She was hoping that having the Thursday to recover, that she would adjust to the three hour difference.

"And your staying for a week?"

"Yeah, I leave on the following Tuesday," spoke Lindsay, lowering her voice yet again as she heard movement in the hallway.

"Why are you whispering?" asked Kim out of curiosity, "Is your roommate listening in again?"

"No, I'm at Bob's. He's sleeping," she stated as she looked over her shoulder at the door, which slowly opened, casting the light from the hall into the room. Bob poked his head inside and smiled at her.

"Sleeping over at a boy's house, what would your mother think, Weir?" teased Kim at her friend.

"Oh shut up!" laughed back Lindsay as she felt Bob wrap his arms around her. "Look Kim, I gotta go! I will see yah next week though!"

"Yeah for sure," commented Kim. "Say Hi to Bob for me!"

Daniel cracked his knuckles loudly as looked over at Nick, who was loading up his drums. He had just gotten off of work and was waiting for Nick to finish up with his band practise. The two of them were meeting up with Ken and the girls. By girls, he meant Amy and Sara. Raven was out of town for the week. Daniel had though about inviting Kim to come along. But didn't want Sara to get into a fit. The two hated each other. Especially now that she knew he was cheating on Raven with Kim. Let's just say she didn't approve of their relationship. Daniel didn't care what Sara or anyone else thought of the matter. But he did care about Nick. He didn't want to put his friend in a hard place. Making him once again choose between his friends and his fiancée. It was just easier if they all got along.

So no Kim tonight.

He had been happy to hear that Raven was going to visit her mom for the week, so he didn't have to worry about introducing her to all his high school peers at the reunion. He could hang out with Kim all night and not have to worry about the wife. He assume that Raven already knew about the two of them but she didn't mention it. The only thing he did have to worry about if Kim was going to bring along that block-head Mike of hers she was dating now. He had seen them together a few times around town and had met him once at the restaurant that Kim worked at. Let's just say they were the complete opposite. He was one of those stupid jocks in high school. He had tried to bring it up with Kim one time, what she saw in him but she just shrugged it off, asking why he cared? They were only screwing one another. He didn't get to question her about her love life. He had dropped it.

"Man, you ready?" asked Nick towards Daniel as he approached him.

"Yeah," answered Daniel as he stood up from his seat. The two guys then made their way out of the studio space and out into the bright summer sun. The summer so far had been a mild one.

Daniel stood and leaned up against the side of the building as Nick locked the door. "So does Sara know about you and Lindsay?" he asked casually as he lit up. His brown eyes shifting to look over at his friend's face.

"Of course she does," replied Nick as he pushed on the frame of the door, making sure if was firmly locked.

"She knows you guys hooked up last Christmas?" asked Daniel, a little shocked to hear this.

"No, of course she doesn't!" cried Nick, looking over at Daniel like he was crazy. Why would he have told Sara that he had hooked up with his ex girlfriend? She would have had his head for sure, if she ever found out. "Why do you ask anyways?" He asked, looking over at his friend as the two of them began to walk towards Nick's car.

"Just wondering," he shrugged as he finished off his cigarette, "You know she is going to be there right?"

"Yeah, I know," he spoke softly, as he downcast his eyes onto the pavement as he began to search for his keys in his pocket of his jeans. He knew that she was going to be there. It was one of the reasons why he wanted to go. Not just because Sara was making him go. But because it would give him an excuse to talk to her. They hadn't really spoken since that night. He knew she was seeing someone, so her mom had told him the other day when he was over for dinner. But he didn't care. He knew that they were meant to be, some how he would make it be.

The two didn't speak another word until they were driving down the street. "Kim says she dating some guy, a Bob," spoke Daniel, attempting to make small talk. He wasn't much one to talk about Lindsey but he hated the silence. Lindsey was the only topic he could think of beside ranting about Sara. Which he knew Nick hated.

"So I heard," commented Nick dryly as he made a sharp left hand turn. "Mrs. Weir told me about him." he added as he glanced over at Daniel. "She said she might be bringing him down for the week. They haven't met him yet." He tired to keep his voice as calm as possible but was finding it a little difficult. After all these years of not being together, he still hated to think of her being with other guys, especially since he had been her first.

Daniel turned in his seat and appeared over at Nick, He couldn't help but chuckle. "Mann, you so have it bad for her!" He then punched Nick lightly in the arm. Something never changed he thought to himself as Nick just swore underneath his breath and glared at him darkly for a second.
