"Ok Great!..Love you too baby...yep see you soon, bye." Jeb had just finished telling Tayona about the date, and hung up the phone.
"What time is it? 2:30 PM, I just want it to be time already...I'll just get ready, but what should I wear?" Jeb said rummaging through his closet.
An hour later.
"I don't know what to wear! I'll call Ponch," Jeb said picking up the phone and calling Ponch.
Ponch answered the phone within five rings. By then Jeb was sweating, and very nervous.
"Hello…?" Ponch asked tiredly.
"Hey, Ponch I need your help," Jeb said sounding relieved.
"Hopefully nothing too serious...I just woke up," Ponch said with a yawn.
"I don't know what to wear," Jeb mumbled feeling silly.
"Huh?" Ponch asked still waking up, but then it hit him. He knew exactly what Jeb was talking about. He tried not to laugh. "Jeb, you're going to the beach. What do you normally wear to the beach?"
"Ummmm….Khakis." He said feeling embarrassed.
"TO THE BEACH!?" Ponch is almost laughing now. "I see why you need help," he muttered. When he finally calmed down he took a deep breath. "Jeb, can you hold on a sec? Me and Jon are coming over," he said.
"Okay, thank you," Jeb said trying to calm himself down.
"No prob. We'll be there soon. Be ready to let us in."
"Yep, Bye,"Jeb said hanging up the phone.
Within a few minutes there was a knock on the door.
Jeb answered it immediately.
"Hey guys." Jeb said
"Hey!"
"Let's get started," Jeb said walking off to his closet.
Ponch and Jon followed. Jon laughed when he found a Hawaiian shirt. "Please tell me you weren't considering this."
"What's wrong with Hawaiian shirts and the beach, Jon!?" Ponch replied pulling it away from him and bringing it up against Jeb. He made a face. "Uh...HEY maybe she'd like you to go shirtless!"
"WHAT? Maybe I could just not button up the Hawaiian shirt?" Jeb suggested feeling insecure.
"What's wrong with shirtless?" Ponch asked with a frown. "It's the beach…"
Jeb looked embarrassed
Ponch pulled him aside. "What's up? Is there something wrong with the idea...you look uh...worried or something."
"Well, ya see… what if there is a guy with better abs than me at the beach or something and she likes him better?" Jeb said quietly.
"Trust me if she really likes you she's not gonna go around looking for guys with better abs."
"...You're right, I guess this is our tenth date, she has to love me at least a little…" Jeb mumbled.
"Yeah…"
"Okay so, what should I wear?"
"Shorts and no shirt is what I'd say. It's the beach."
"Ok, I'll go get ready you tell me how I look." Jeb said then left to get ready.
Ponch smiled "I'm excited! I wish I was going," he told Jon.
"Of course you do," Jon said with a smirk.
Ponch laughed, then turned his head and saw Jeb
"How do I look?" Jeb asked feeling confident.
Ponch smiled his trademark toothy grin and gave Jeb a thumbs up. "Lookin' good, Jeb!"
"Feelin' good too Ponch, feelin' good," Jeb said then looked in the mirror.
