Chapter 8




"Hole in one!" yelled Brian.
"That was justs luck," said Michelle.
"No, that was pure skill," joked Brian.
They were on the first hole at Pirate Fantasy Golf. Michelle set her ball down and putted.
"Ha! I got a hole in one too."
Brian pulled a score card out of his pocket. "Want to keep score?"
"Sure," she said.
They went to the next hole. The ball had to go up a ramp and then down a ramp to the hole. Brian went first and hit the ball off the back right to the hole. "Another hole in one!" said Brian. "I told you it was skill."
Michelle laughed. "Okay, your right." Michelle putted the ball and it stopped half an inch from the hole. "Aww man, that should have been a hole in one."
Brian wrote down the score. "I'm ahead by one." He tucked the score card back in his pocket and took michelle's hand as they walked to the next hole. They joked around and finnished the game with Brian the victor by only a few pants. Next to the miniature gold was a batting cage.
"Hey do you want to try that?" asked Michelle.
"Sure," said Brian.
They went over to the batting cages. Michelle went first. She hit every ball. "Hey, your really good," said Brian.
"Thanks," said Michelle.
"Now, watch the pro." Michelle laughed. He put in the coins and picked up the bat. He swung hard at the first ball and missed. "Oops, the sun was in my eyes."
"The sun's shining the other way," said Michelle.
"Okay... the wind blew it," he said as he smashed the next one against the net. Michelle laughed.

After they ate, Jessica and Nick decided to go see Saving Private Ryan. Nick pulled a white Adidas cap down over his blond hair as they stood in the line for tickets. When they got their tickets, they went inside and bought a bucket of popcorn.
Nick tossed a piece of popcorn in the air and caught it in his mouth as they were walking into the theatre. They sat down in the back row. Nick put a piece of popcorn between his lips and fed it to Jessica. She grinned and kissed the tip of his nose. The movie started and they sat back and watched.

Michelle parked her car in front of Brian's apartment. "Come on in," he said. They got out of the car and went inside. "Welcome to my humble home," he said in an accent. "Sorry for the mess."
"Its okay, my room is just as bad," said Michelle.
They hung out at his apartment watching tv and talking. They didn't pay attention to the time.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was about 5:00 at night when Nick pulled up in front of Jessica's house. "I guess this is goodbye," said Nick.
"Yeah, I guess so," said Jessica.
"You have my cell phone number right?"
"Yep."
"I'll borrow one of the guys lab tops and e-mail you."
"Okay."
"I better go now. I haven't done any packing. And I have to help Aaron pack too."
They leaned over and kisssed. "I love you," he whispered.
"I love you too."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Oh geez, its already 6:00," said Michelle.
"I didn't know it had gotten that late." Brian and Michelle had been sitting on the couch watching a pay-per-view movie. "Hey since its already 6:00 how about you stay and I'll make you some dinner."
"That sounds nice," said Michelle.
Brian got up and went in his kitchen and looked in the fridge. "Good thing I went grocery shopping last night. How does macaroni and cheese sound?"
"Great," said Michelle.
"Stay there, I'll handle everything," said Brian.
"Okay." Michelle sat back down on the couch and fliped on the tv. After about 20 minutes Brian called out "Finnished."
Michelle got up and went over to the kitchen table. Brian had made Macaroni and cheese and sandwiches. They sat down and ate. When they were finnished they did the dishes together. Michelle splashed Brian in the face with some water.
"Hey," he said as he wiped off his face. He took the hose from the sink and squirted her.
"Hey no fair. I only got you a little wet.j"
"Sorry." he made a cute little puppy dog face. "You can get me wet if you want."
"No, its okay. But now I need a dry shirt."
"You can borrow one of mine," he said. He went in his room and pulled a shirt out of his closed. "Here, thats the smallest shirt I have."
"Thanks." Michelle went in the bathroom and changed. "Its still kind of big." The sleves came down to her elbows.
"I think you look cute in it," he said as he held her around the waist.
"Shoot, my parents are probably wondering where I am," said Michelle.
"How about you call them and tell them your spending the night at a friendss house," suggested Brian.
"Do you want me to spend the night?"
"Of course, if you want to," he said grinning.
"Of course I do. Where's your phone?"
"Its in the kitchen on the wall," said Brian.
Michelle picked up the phone and dialed her house.
"Hey mom, I'm spending the night at a friends house. Yeah, I know. I will, bye." She sat down one the couch next to Brian. "What do you want to do now?"
Brian got up and got a small white box out of his closet.
"What is it?" she asked.
"Twister," he grinned and layed the mat on the middle of the floor. "Its the new kind that calls out the colors for you."
He turned on the little box. "Right foot red." They both put their right foot on a red dot. "Left foot blue... Right hand Yellow... Right foot yellow." They ended all intertwined with each other. Brian's foot slipped and he fell down. Michelle slipped and landed on top of him. They both started laughing.
Brian touched Michelle's chin and pulled her closer and they kissed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At 8:30 Jessica picked up the phone and dialed Michelle's phone number. Michelle's mom answered.
"Hi, Is Michelle there?"
"No, she's spending the night at a friends house."
"Oh, okay, thank you." Jessica hung up the phone. "I can't believe it," she said aloud. "She's spending the night at his house! I'm such a great matchmaker."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Brian yawned. "I'm tired. I better get some sleep. I have to get up early tommorow."
"So do I. I have school tommorow."
"Yeah, that would be nice," said Michelle.
Jessica followed Brian to his room. He opened his closed and found a small pair of shorts and a t-shirt. "Is this okay?"
"Yeah." She took the clothes into the bathroom and changed. When she came back Brian had changed into a pair of boxers anad a tank top. Brian flipped on the little tv in his room and they both plopped down on his bed. They watched Saturday Night Live for a little while. Brian glanced over at Michelle. She had fallen alseep. He turned off the tv and put a blanket over her. Then he got into bed and fell asleep.
