Episode 5 Chapter 3 Date Night

Mouth opens the door to see Jacey, Keith, and the boys.

"Hey sweetheart it is so good to see you." He gives her a hug. "Chloe…Connor…"

They walk downstairs. Chloe looks anything but happy.

"Hi," Jacey smiled. "It's really nice to meet you guys."

"Nice to meet you too…Obviously I'm Connor."

Chloe just looks at her.

"Hi Chloe…"

Chloe doesn't say anything she just walked away.

Jacey could tell that this wasn't going to be a very fun evening.

…..

Jamie walks into Summer's house. "I brought pizza." He smiled.

"My favorite…but I have to lose this baby weight…I can't be eating pizza."

"You look amazing Summer. You can have at least four pieces." He smiled.

"Oh but I really wanted five," she joked. "And thanks for lying to me. I really appreciate it."

"I'm not lying. You really are beautiful." Jamie smiled. "Where's Landon?"

"He is sleeping for the time being…fortunately."

"Does he still have his nights and days mixed up?"

"Yeah pretty much….but that's okay I don't mind staying up with him."

"Me either…Next time he wakes up I'll take the shift…you can get some sleep."

"You don't have to do that."

"I want to do it. I want to help."

"Thanks…" She smiled.

"You're always telling me that."

"You always deserve to be told that." She laughed. "Let's eat pizza."

"YES!"

…..

Breanne is standing in her closet. She couldn't find anything to wear. She didn't know what to wear. She used to be so good at dating and going out. She was the queen one night stand girl in high school…until she had a baby and met Jamie. Jamie had changed everything in her life.

But he was gone. And she had to move on without him.

She grabbed her strapless green dress. It was her favorite…it was Jamie's favorite. Maybe someone else would like it too.

…..

Jeremy is standing in his room.

He changes his shirt…first blue…then red…then back to blue…then black…then green…and then finally back to blue.

This going out thing was harder than he thought it was going to be.

…

McKenzie picks up her phone to call Mark.

She gets his voicemail again….

"Mark, I know you're avoiding me, and that pretty much sucks…so please call me back so that we can talk."

McKenzie was worried that their lack of passion in bed was going to ruin everything.

…..

Brooke, Nathan, Hunter, Ally, Millie, and Sophie are sitting down to dinner.

"How's the chicken?" Nathan asked.

"It's great," Hunter answered.

"I like the chicken daddy."

"It's really great…" Millie surprised them with her compliment. "I like the green beans too."

Nathan and Brooke smile at each other. Maybe things were getting better for her.

They heard a knock at the door.

"I'll get it," Hunter walked to the door.

Jessica was standing on the other side.

Hunter had no idea who Jessica was.

"Hi….I'm Jessica…" She laughed. "That probably doesn't help you at all. I stopped by Jamie's apartment, but he wasn't there. So I decided to bring this here." She hands him a gift basket. "It's for the new baby. Jamie's a really good friend, and I know how excited he was about the baby."

"Yeah he is…." Hunter smiled. He didn't know why except for the fact that the baby was Chase's and Jamie and Chase were close before he died. "I'll have to give this to him."

"Thanks…" Jessica starts to walk away.

"Would you like to have dinner with us?" Hunter couldn't believe those words came out of his mouth. He didn't even know her…all he knew was her name, but he thought she was absolutely beautiful.

"Are you sure? I mean I haven't eaten, but I don't want to impose…I don't know any of you…unless Jamie is in there."

"No he's not here, and you wouldn't be imposing."

"Okay…sure…" Jessica smiled. He was really nice, and she wasn't even sure exactly what his name was. But she was pretty hungry.

…..

Savannah and Charlie are sitting downstairs. Natalie and Lucy were already in bed. "You know when the parents are away we are supposed to play." Charlie smiled.

"We promised we would be good."

"Yeah well we're teenagers we're supposed to lie and do bad things."

Savannah just shook her head.

Charlie stands up and walks over to the cabinet. "Come on mom and dad won't even know that it is gone."

"No…but we'll know that we drank it." Savannah reminded him as they stared at wine sitting on the table.

…..

Riley and Ellie are at Ellie's favorite restaurant. "I'm really glad that you brought me here. I'm glad we are starting over."

"Yeah me too." Riley seemed miles away.

"Are you okay?"

"My mom just pissed me off tonight."

"What did Peyton do?"

"She gave me a curfew…a ten thirty curfew…they have never made me come home that early."

"Maybe they are just trying to protect you."

"No…she's just trying to control me because I didn't tell her about us thinking that you were pregnant."

"And she was pissed?"

"Majorly…" Riley rolled his eyes. "We're taking things slow…she has nothing to worry about…Ah…" Riley was so mad.

Ellie was upset that all he could think about was Peyton…He was ruining the date.

…..

Peyton is sitting across from Lucas. "Sweetheart…you look so tired."

"Yeah well the kids really run me ragged. I…I never imagined how hard this was going to be."

"Luke you are an awesome stay at home dad."

"Yeah but I'm so tired Peyton…I'm so tired I can barely even enjoy this night with you."

"I have an idea…" She smiled. "I bet I can take your mind off of being so tired."

Lucas really just wanted to go home and go to sleep.

….

Spencer takes Lily to the River Court where he has candles lit and a beautiful table set for the two of them.

"Spencer Roberts….this is amazing."

"I love you Lily, and I am so sorry that I…"

"Stop," she puts her finger up to his mouth. "You don't have to apologize anymore…all you have to do is kiss me….just kiss me…."

He leans in and kisses her passionately. It was the perfect night.

…

Let me know what you thought!
