I was pleased with this chapter, so I hope you enjoy it...

Garrett and Mason arrived at the movie theatre for their double date. The younger Runnels brother was eager to make sure that everything went well. He had been warning his older brother not to do or say anything that would embarrass him. It did amuse Garrett to see his brother so worked up over a girl, but he was hardly any different. As much as he tried to get Rosalyn to the back of his mind, he couldn't stop thinking about her. He knew that she had said some hurtful things, which he knew that she would regret. Garrett also knew that Rosalyn was stubborn, too stubborn to admit when she was wrong and apologise.

"Here they are, act cool." Mason told his brother.

"Whatever you say." Garrett shook his head and smiled.

"Hey Mason." A young woman with auburn hair and green eyes greeted the younger brother.

"Garrett, this is Allie. That's her friend Kara." Mason gestured to the other girl.

"Hi, nice to meet you." Garrett smiled at the other girl.

"You too." She smiled. Kara had brown hair with blonde highlights and brown eyes.

They made their way inside and bought their tickets. The girls had both decided on a romantic comedy. Not what Garrett wanted to see right now, but it wasn't even a proper date for him. At least with a movie you didn't have to make a lot of conversation. As the lights went down in the movie theatre, Garrett found himself wondering what Rosalyn was doing right now.

At the DiBiase house, Lily was preparing Rosalyn for her next date with Tommy. The brunette had just finished painting the older girl's nails in a shimmering coral shade. The blonde had already chosen her outfit, while her hair was being curled to enhance her natural blonde waves. Lily knew only what Garrett had been willing to reveal about his argument with the blonde. She felt as though she shouldn't broach the subject, but the conversation drifted that way.

"I thought he wouldn't be interested after the last date." Rosalyn said as she discussed Tommy.

"He doesn't know what happened though." Lily shrugged.

"How do you know about that?" the blonde asked her.

"Garrett told me everything." The brunette replied.

"You haven't told anyone, have you?" Rosalyn looked worried.

"I promised Garrett that I wouldn't." Lily told her.

"Does he hate me now?" the blonde asked.

"You really crossed the line Rosalyn." The brunette frowned.

"I know. I feel terrible. I don't hate him, I just panicked." Rosalyn nodded as she spoke.

"Will you apologise?" Lily asked her.

"If he will listen to me." The blonde nodded and sighed.

"You won't know until you try." The brunette girl shrugged.

"Maybe it would be better if we could pretend that this never happened…" Rosalyn mused.

"Not that easy." Lily shook her head.

A couple of hours later the blonde was ready for her date. She wore black jeans, black suede boots and a patterned halter-neck top. Her hair was loose down her shoulders and she wore grey eye make-up. Lily placed her hands on her hips and admired her work. Rosalyn smiled at her reflection and hugged the brunette.

"Thank you. It looks great." The blonde smiled.

"Glad you like it." Lily smiled and packed away the make-up from the bed.

"I hope Tommy likes it." Rosalyn sighed.

After the movie, the Runnels brothers took their dates to the ice cream parlour. Garrett was managing to have a decent conversation with Kara, although he had no romantic interest in her. Mason seemed very much into Allie though, holding her hand under the table and wiping some ice cream from her top lip at one point. They walked the girls back to the bus stop and Mason kissed Allie. Kara whispered to Garrett that she didn't mind him calling her if he needed to talk about things. He had mentioned parts of the recent goings on, although he had not named any names in doing so.

"Thanks." He nodded.

"Take my number." She replied as Mason and Allie were still making out.

"Sorry if I was bad company." Garrett shrugged.

"I was glad of any company, believe me." Kara nodded.

"Thanks again." The young man nodded.

This time, Tommy had taken Rosalyn bowling. She appreciated the change of scenery and it was fun too. They played for hours without realising it, because they were laughing way too much. The blonde felt like she could relax and be herself with Tommy. He was treating her really well tonight. As they left the bowling alley he turned to face her and smiled. Rosalyn frowned confusedly as he took her face in his hands and kissed her softly.

"What was that for?" she asked as they broke apart.

"Because you're beautiful, and you're funny." Tommy smiled at her.

"You're not bad either." Rosalyn grinned as he pulled her into another kiss.

"Would I be out of line if I invited you back with me?" Tommy asked her.

"Where?" she asked him.

"The hotel. I have a whole suite there." He replied.

"Yeah, why not…" she sighed.

Garrett and Mason arrived home just after Lily did. Phoebe asked her how things went with Rosalyn. Of course, the older Runnels brother was immediately listening after her name was mentioned. Lily told her mother what the blonde had been wearing and where they had been going that evening. Jealousy panged in Garrett's chest as he imagined what else Tommy might have in store. He wasn't one to give up that easily.

"Lily." He followed his sister up the stairs.

"What?" the brunette asked him.

"Did she say anything else?" he asked her.

"Rosalyn did say she felt awful and that she wants to apologise." Lily replied.

"So, does that mean she'll speak to me again?" Garrett asked his sister.

"All I know is, she would like to forget that it ever happened." Lily shrugged.

"I'm not sure I can do that." He shook his head.

"I'm not sure that she can either." His sister replied.

Rosalyn was trying her best to pretend that her fling with Garrett never happened. She was at the hotel with Tommy, in his suite. He obviously had one thing on his mind tonight. The moment that they walked through the door, Tommy had Rosalyn up against the wall in a passionate embrace. The blonde shifted onto the bed as Tommy stripped himself of his shirt and jeans, leaving him in just his boxer shorts. Rosalyn gave a half smile as he climbed onto the bed and began to remove her own clothing.

"Are you alright?" asked Tommy.

"Yeah, I'm good." Rosalyn nodded as he moved in to kiss her again.

What do you think?
