Chapter 15~Strawberries & Cream and Dancing the Night Away

Anne and Leslie walked over to the limo and sat behind it, so that everyone else couldnt hear or see them."Are you okay Les?"Anne asked concerned over her friend."The truth??No...I'm really confused!!I got really jelous when I saw Trevor give Chelle his sweater,but then again...Ive been getting along great with Dan..he's really sweet and nice...but when I saw what Trevor did, my mind freaked!Dan mustve seen my reaction, he must hate mee now!"Leslie babbled, sounding dangerously close to tears."Calm down."Anne whispered putting an arm around her friend."Do you want mee to tell you my whole take of this situation??"Leslie nodded weakly."Okay, well I think that the reason you are jelous is because Trevor was your fave before we met them...and now that it looks like he likes Michelle, you're jelous because it wouldnt hurt for him to like you...although you have feelings for Dan now.But you cant have both!!"Anne explained."Yah, I guess you're right. So what do you think I should do now?!"Leslie asked wiping her tears away."Talk to Michelle, ask her if she likes Trevor..and if she still has feelings for Dan.Tell her that you like Dan, although there is a tiny bit of u that still has feelings for Trevor.Straighten EVERYTHING out, cuz we all deserve a happy night...our only night with O-Town."Anne said."Okay..you're right..could you go get Michelle for mee??"Leslie asked hopefully."Yah, no prob..dont worry, everything will turn out juss fine!"Anne reassured her, gettin up."Oh God...I hope everything works out!!"Leslie thought, awaiting the moment of truth with Michelle.~~At the picnic blanket~~"Finally, I thought you'd never come back!!"Erik exclaimed as Anne sat down in her seat next to him."Awww, you missed mee already??How sweet!"Anne joked."Where's Leslie??"Dan asked, speaking for the first time since Leslie had left his side."She's still back there...She wants to talk to you Chelle."Anne said pointing to behind the limo."Thanx..."Michelle replied as she got up and made her way towards the limo."OMG...Leslie knows that I like Trevor!!She's gonna kill mee!"Michelle panicked silently."Hey Michelle,"Leslie said as Michelle sat down next to her."Hey Leslie so whats up??"Michelle asked nonchalantly."Well...I was wondering, Do you like Trevor??Truthfully??"Leslie asked."Yah, I do..a lot actually"Michelle answered slowly."Okay, do you still like Dan?"Leslie asked."If I think about it...nah, I think I got over my crush on him.Why?Do you like Dan??"Michelle asked curiously."Well, yah he's really sweet."Leslie replied, feeling a blush come onto her cheeks."That's great!Don't you see what we just did??We switched guys...without hurt feelings!"Michelle explained."Well, not exactly..I kinda have tiny feelings for Trev still."Leslie stated, exaggerating the word tiny."Oh, but do I have your blessing to flirt??"Michelle asked uncertainly."Yah, I mean if I get to flirt with Dan, why shouldnt you flirt with Trevor??Juss dont over do it for awhile kay?"Leslie asked."I wont, now lets get back before they think we got lost!"Michelle laughed as they walked to the picnic blanket."Okay, now is there any need of anymore girl talk at all??"Jacob asked looking at all the girls."Nope...I dont think so"Mariel replied."What about "guy"talk...are u guyz in need of that??""No..we don't do that!!Well, since everyone is back...time for dessert!!"Ashley announced, getting up with Jacob to grab the dessert out of the picnic basket.They both came back with a bowl of strawberries and another bowl of whipped cream."Hmmm...strawberries and cream??Not bad!"Mariel said as she surveyed the bowls that lay in front of all of them."Thankyou. But you should be thanking Jenn and Marc, THEY are the ones that got the food!!"Trevor said as he reached for a strawberry.Jenn and Marc had not been paying attention, and both looked up surprised as they heard their names."THANX Marc and Jenn!!" everyone yelled."Welcome!"They replied.Marc then grabbed a strawberry, and dipped it into the whipped cream and fed it into Jenn's mouth."Awww, thats so sweet!"Anne exclaimed looking at the couple, who seemed to forget everyone else when they were together."I can do that too!!"Dan aid as he picked up a strawberry, and held it up to Leslie's mouth , as if asking permission to feed her.Leslie answered by taking a bite out of it and smiling at Dan."That's sickening!"Erik stated while laughing."Well I think its cute"Anne replied.Suddenly Mariel shreiked, as everyone turned to her."JACOB!!!I can't beleive you did that!!"Mariel screamed, wiping of whipped cream from her cheek and nose."Oops, my hand slipped!"Jacob said laughing and trying to look innocent."Oh yah?Well oops, my spoon slipped!!"Mariel replied as she flicked a spoonfull of whipped cream at him.It landed square on his eye."Okay thats it!NO MORE whipped cream for you two!!"Ashley yelled moving the bowl of whipped cream out of their reach."Truce?"Jacob asked as he held out his hand."Truce!"Mariel replied shaking his hand.Everyone was now laughing at the site in front of them.Jacob and Mariel were laughing the hardest, but the laughter was short lived as Ashley's cell rang.Ashley looked at each of the guys, and they all knew who it was.Ashley slowly pulled out his cell and turned it on."Hello?"Ash said as all eyes were on him."Hi Ashley..its Shelli."Shelli said into the phone."Look, Shell...I cant talk rite now.I told you that I was doing something!"Ashley muttered into the phone."Its not done yet?You've been on this dinner for an hour and a half already!"Shelli replied."Well, its not done.So talk to yah later.Bye!"Ashley said not giving her a chance to reply, as he hung up his cell.He idn't mean to hurt Shelli or be rude, but she was getting a little bit irritating.Everyone was suddenly quite, but Michelle just thought of a question that she had to know the answer to, before the night could go on."Wait, are all of you guyz single...or taken??"Michelle asked slowly."I'm single"Trevor said as he moved closer than close to Michelle."I am too."Jacob replied as he scooted right next to Mariel and put his arm around her shoulders."Mee too"Erik answered as put his arms around Anne."So am i"Dan replied taking Leslie's hand in his."Ummm, I am at the moment."Ashley mumbled not making a move with Monica.Mariel couldn't help but feel sorry for Monica, but she was caught up in how Jacob's arms felt so right around her."This is just great, there's probably some drama in between Ash and Shelli rite now."Monica thought, feeling suddenly very cold even though she had a warm jacket on.She couldnt help but notice that her and Ash were the only ones not really touching or looking like a couple at all.Everyone else looked as if they were happy in eachothers arms."YUPP...I am officially the #1 jerk in the whole world, Monica must think mee and Shelli have something going on.And that Ive been stringing her along.I finally find a girl that I like, and Shelli and our past relationship comes to haunt me.I care for Shelli, but Monica is really a great girl..and now, she must hate me."Ashley said to himself silently.All around them everyone was in their own little world, suddenly aware of the other persons every move and touch."My GOD, Trevor is soo close, I'm practically sitting on him.MM...he smells of aftershave"Michelle thought as she leaned her head on Trevor's shoulder."Hey, why don't you go and put on some music?"Erik asked as he looked at Jacob."Okay, Ill be back"Jacob replied as he took his arm off of Mariel's shoulders.He came back with the stereo, and pressed play, as "Back At One" by Brian Mcnight filled the speakers from the cd that Marc had made with all slow songs."Would you like to dance?"Dan asked Leslie, as he stood up and held out his hand."Of course!"Leslie replied as she stood up, and they started to sway."How about you?Wanna dance with me...even though I tried to lie to you and all??"Erik asked mischiviously."How could I say no??"Anne laughed as he pulled her up."May I have this dance??"Jacob asked as his peircing blue eyes met Mariel's gaze."Yes you may."Mariel said as she smiled."Hey Chelle, I think you owe me a dance...you know since I lent you my sweater and all..."Trevor trailed off looking at the stars."Uh huh, okay Trevor..i guess i do owe you one!"Michelle laughed."Well, um..Wanna dance Monica??"Ashley asked unsurely, glancing at her."Okay,"Monica replied, hoping that he wasnt dancing with her out of pity.She lightly rested her arms around the crook of his neck, as he looped his arms around her waist pulling her close.Marc and Jenn took the dance floor, as she rested her head on his chest and felt that she was in bliss."Michelle??"Trevor asked as they swayed to the music."Hmm"Michelle replied."Can I ask you a question??"Trevor whispered."Sure,"Michelle replied as she looked up at his face."Why do you have this power over me?I mean, when I'm with you,or holding you, its like everything is right in the world.I feel like I'm floating on air.I met you less than 24 hours ago...and I feel like we've known eachother forever."Trevor said softly.Michelle was silent for a moment processing what he had juss said."Wow, Trev, that was really sweet.But I'm afraid I can't tell you why I have that effect on you.But I do know, that you have the exact same effect on me."Michelle whispered.He pulled her closer to him as she laid her head back on his broad chest."What did i do to deserve him?"Michelle wondered.All around their was romance in the air.They all felt happy and content with what they were doing.The song then switched to "I Wanna Know" by Joe, but they never noticed anything, as long as they could dance the night away in eachother's arms.Monica felt better in Ashley's arms.But she couldnt get Shelli calling him out of her head.Monica was crazy about Ashley even more so now, that she actually met him...and knew the REAL Ashley.But she could not go on pretending that Ashley liked her, if he was still in love with Shelli.She had to know by the end of the night what was up.Chapter 16~A Kiss Under A Shooting Star*~~Chapter 14~Introductions and EatingBack to Table Of Contents
