Chapter 15

"Ah, Dory. Come on in." Judd smiled. Dorothy Ann nodded and went in. After much searching, she was able to get condoms off Wanda, but she was bothered by what Carlos had told her. "Are you okay?" Judd asked. DA turned and nodded. "Yeah." She said smiling up at him. Judd put his hands on her shoulders and whispered "my parents are out all evening." DA felt her skin crawl. "So I took advantage of that to make us dinner." DA relaxed immediately. Judd led her to the dining room where there was a table set for two with candles. After Judd seated DA, he went into the kitchen and came out with 2 covered plates. "Dinner is served." He said, lifting the lids. Underneath was a slice of beef, sautéed vegetables and ravioli in an Alfredo sauce. "Oh, Judd!" DA breathed. "Enjoy." He smiled. The two tucked in. Dorothy Ann found the ravioli was especially good. "Did you make all this?" She asked. Judd nodded. "The ravioli is homemade ravioli seasoned in garlic butter, and the beef cutlet is medium rare sautéed in teriyaki. Would you like some sparkling cranberry juice?" He went into the kitchen and came back with a bottle and two wine glasses. Once dinner was served, Judd left and came back out with two creme brûlées. "This is ginger creme brûlée." He added. While they were eating dessert, Judd cleared his throat and began. "How is Drug-X going?" DA froze mid bite. "Good... How is Malachite going?" Judd smiled. "We're doing great. We're confident in our song choice." DA smirked. "Well, so is Drug-X. Carlos and Ralphie are both very determined." Judd playfully winked. "Well, we'll see. Won't we?" The two sat there, eating the creme brûlée and every now and then tease each other. Once they finished, and the dishes were cleared, the two had chased each other into Judd's room and were on Judd's bed making out. "Hey, Dory?" Judd asked, pushing her bangs out of her eyes. "Did you bring condoms?" DA froze as Carlos's warning flooded her head again. She pushed him back and turned away. "Dorothy Ann?" He asked. DA shook her head. "You forgot them?" Judd asked. DA shook her head again. "I brought them, I just... This is the third date! I don't feel comfortable with the third date rule. According to my research, It's not love and I..." She was about to continue, when Judd pressed a finger on her lips. "Dory..." He began. "Love is important, but..." "But nothing, it's too soon!" DA complained. She got up to leave, but Judd was quicker. He ran over, and blocked the door. "Judd!" DA scolded. Judd went over and took her face in his hands.

Baby, stop right there.

Let me clear the air.

Baby, look into these eyes.

Let me apologize.

I know what you're thinking of.

You think, "Where is the love?"

But the love ain't gone.

He guided DA away from the door and dimmed the lights.
