Chapter 5: TOW Setting up the double date
I came to cafe abaut an hour late from originally planed, but I think they will understand. I thought I would try to be as confident as possible maybe they will even help me with my 2 problems. I knew they were gonna tease me but I was more than ready for it. But for one thing Is wasn't ready for... I walked in
"Well look who decided to finally show her face. Abaut time." Jes shouted
"Yeah well... Had some tutoring to do..." I tried to stay as calm as possible
" Well was it just math or was there some biology or chemistry too?" Alex asked with teasingly voice
" Well we do have date for friday ready to be set up, but nothing else has happend yet. And I think I need both of your help with couple things."
"Well of course, we help if we can..." Both said
"First things first: Remember how you joked abaut double date I think we have to do that neither of us want to tell our parents just yet so I suggest that we say we are all going to movies including Jes and Erica. That will rise least ammount of questions. I think." I began
"That actually sounds like a decent idea, I dont think that Jack has told Monica and Chandler yet I think we would have heard abaut it by now if he had..," Alex began
"Whats the second thing you need our help to solve, I think this is pretty much settled?" Jes asked
"Well I don't know I think I have heard Dan's lastname somewhere but it bothers me that I don't recall where..." I began
"Well I think you know what you have to do if you want us to help with that... Tell it to us we may be able to connect the dots..." Alex said
" Waltham" I sighed
Alex and Jes looked eachother in disbilief like I should have known right then and there who was I talking abaut Jes decided to take the lead
"Okay who are you and what have you done with Emma? For Emma we know this shouldn't take even a second to think where she has heard that name" she said with still a lot of disbilief on her face
"Please guys tell me I know, I should know this but for some reason I'm having a total blackout now" I tried to convince them.
" I don't think we will. Something is clearly clouding your thinking. I think you'll find out on our date if you can't figure it out before that, I'll give you a little hint though answer lies in a story that you have told abaut a thousand times to us... That's why we don't tell it straight to you. You would scold us if we would have asked that question so we will do same kind of thing since you did it." Alex said with confidence.
I couldn't believe 2 girls who had allways helped me with anything and everything they could, had abonded me complitely, I know,I should know where I know that name but for some reason I can't connect the dots.
"I don't think the problem is that you don't remember where you've heard it, I think that the problem is that you dont want to remember it you have some kind of defence mechanism on that prevents you from remembering this. Trust us we will dig it up for you on friday if you haven't figured it out by then" Jes decided to add
"Fine I guess I don't have a choice, still bothers the hell out of me" I sighed
"You'll connect the dots sooner or later and after that lets just say that, if you think that you're scared to tell your parents now wait until you know who your dealing with. Trust me you dont know what scary is yet. I would rather talk to Monica abaut me and Jack than if I were in your shoes and had to tell your parents." Alex said with wicked smile.
"Okay guys now youre just trying to freak me out. What have I done to get this person to hate me so much that I can't date his/her son?" I asked totally scared now
"Actually you haven't done anything personally. As we said answer lies in your parents story..." Jes said
" Okay if it isn't me then its fixable, but god what has my father done now" I thought to myself
I thought the whole thing through on the way home but decided to forget the whole thing for now I needed to focus on friday and test after that the double daet which reminded me that I had to talk to my mom abaut it. God don't let her suspect anything. I was pretty much allways the good girl didn't lie or steal or anything so asking things like this were not that difficult. But I knew I was more nervous than ever before so I just hoped everything would go smoothly
"Hi mom I'm home." I shouted from the door
"Oh hi expected you home earlier dinner is ready so sit down" Mom said with annoyingly happy voice
"Okay, I was wondering could I take girls to the movies on friday?" Knowing the answer to this but also had a perfect counter ready to go
"Honey did you forget that your cousins and Chandler and Monica are coming to visit to town?" Mom asked with sad voice
"Actually, no I didn't forget I was thinking that maybe we could take Jack and Erica with us and you guys could have a night without teenagers I'm sure Bella could go to her friend and well Joey and Jake can play with eachother. I know that you guys could use some time with just adults" I said knowing that it had been way too long since last were with just adults.
"You're talking sense now but what do you get from this? What do you want?" My mom asked with suspicion
I decided to go with half a truth becouse I needed the money too...
"Well pay us the movie tickets, maybe drinks and popcorn and we're just fine" I tried to be as calm as possible
"Well I have run this trough your father but I think he will agree on that, but I want you to do good on the math test on friday too don't forget that" Mom said
I couldn't be happier she didn't suspect anything and everything went according to plan of course I answered.
"Mom I haven't gotten anything but A's in math for years now what makes you think I would get anything else?" I asked
"I don't know you have seem to be distracted for a while now I hoping that doesn't affect on your school work" She answered
" Reason I was later today was that we were practicing math with Jes and Alex" I Countered
"Oh okay, just asking you know you know in your age somethings may become more intresting than school you know" Mom said with a smile
"Yeah I know the birds and bees and stuff yeah but I'm not gonna let that distract my schoolwork okay" I said annoyed
"Okay okay. Just checking, hey thanks for the idea of the adults night that was great idea." Mom said smiling
"No problem mom pleasure was all mine thanks for funding it..."
I was happy, I texted everyone that we were all set on friday and my father even gave his approval. What could go wrong? Everything was set.
Well next time we continue with TOW Worst secret date ever
