Chp 2
The next morning I woke up and threw on some old clothes, excited I'd be getting new stuff. When I got downstairs, Alex was already there, talking to Denise in the kitchen.
"Hey guys." I said as I entered the room.
"Hey, sweetie."Denise said as I hugged her.
"Well, Gin, grab something real quick. I decided to invite Sammi, so she could help you with the chick stuff. We have to go pick her up." Alex said as he shoved his bagel in his mouth.
"Sammi? Are you still going out with her?"
"Naw, we're cool though. I told her you needed some help, and she was more then happy to accept the challenge."
"Funny, Alex. I'm ready, let's go." I grabbed an apple and we were off. We picked up Sammi, and went to the mall.
"So, Alex, you sit out here and stay out of trouble. Ginny and I are going into this store..." Sammi treated Alex like he was 5 still, but it was funny. He obeyed, and we ventured into the store. Sammi started grabbing handfuls of things. She shoved them into my hands and sent me into the dressing room. I put on a pair of jeans and a tshirt first. I looked at myself skeptically in the mirror. I had inherited my mothers body, thats for sure. Big chest, small waist, and big hips. I walked out of the room slowly, sure Sammi would send me back.
"Sam..." I called out. She came around the corner and her mouth dropped open.
"Shit, girl! Why have you been hiding??" She practically shouted. A few people turned around and looked at us. I could feel myself start to blush.
"Don't I look awful? I feel so weird..."
"Oh, no. We have to get like 15 pairsof those jeans. You need to show off what you have..." Sammi said. I started trying on everything and felt much better about the clothes I was trying on. We left the store and gave Alex the bags. By the time 1 rolled around, I had purchased tons of clothes, shoes, and accesories.
"Lets get something to eat. Im starved..." Sammie said.
"Sounds good to me." I replied.
"Ok, well, I'm going to take all this crap to the car. Why don't you two put our name in and I'll be right back.?" Alex said.
"I'll help you, ok Alex?" Sammie offered.
"Ok, see ya in a few..." Sammie grabbed a few bags and they went towards the car. I turned around and started walking toward the restuarant when someone ran into me, sending me to the floor. I sat for a second, but pulled myself up and snapped around ready to let insults fly. I turned around to see a familiar face.
"I'm so sorry.........Oh, my god, Ginny?"
"Nick?" I said. I looked him over quickly. He had changed, and he was looking good. he still had his cute boyish smile, but the rest of him had defintly started looking like a man.
"What are you doing here?" he asked me.
I laughed. " Shopping...That's what you do in a mall."
"No, I thought you were still in France."
"No, I got home Monday."
"Are you shopping alone?"
"No, actually, Alex is here, with Sammie. We were just about to go have lunch. Do you want to join us?" I asked.
"Well, ok..." Nick responded. "Let me make a call and I'll be right there."
"Ok" I said. I went and got a table for us and waited for everyone else. Nick was the first to join me and we sat while waiting for Alex and Sammie.
Alex was very suprised when he walked up and saw Nick sitting there with me.
"Nicky, what's up boy.I see that we are starting right where we left off." Alex said as he sat down.
"Grow up, Alex." I said grumpily.
"I think I made Ginny a little uncomfortable." he teased.
"C'mon, AJ " Nick said.
"AJ? What is up with that?" I asked. It was the first I'd heard somerone call Alex that.
"It's my nickname, duh...." Alex responded.
"Dont be rude Alex" Sammie quieted him. The rest of lunch was spent discussing France. After lunch, Nick left and Sammie decided I needed a swimsuit. We once again sent Alex away and we went and picked out a couple of suits. We left the mall then and went to a Mercedes dealership. I picked out a silver convertable and drove it home, with all my stuff in the backseat. Alex told me he'd see me at his party Friday night and I went to bed satisfied with my day.
The next day I decided that I needed some sun, so I threw on my new bathing suit, my new sunglasses, and went outside to sunbathe. Both Dad and Denise went to work, so I was left alone. I got the radio and turned it on, and up. After an hour or so I was slightly tanner, and went inside to grab a soda. The phone rang making me jump across the room.
"Hello?"
"Ginny? Hey, it's Nick."
"Hey Nick. What's up?" I was actually very excited he had called.
"I just wanted to know if you wanted to have someone show what there is around here to do."
"Well, I suppose that would be a good idea..."
"So, are you busy tonight?"
"No..."
"So, how about I pick you up about 5ish?"
"Ok, that sounds great."
"Ok, bye."
Just as he hung up I started to scream. I couldnt help it. My first date in almost 5 years. I ran upstairs to start getting ready. I took another shower, and started rummaging through my new clothes. I finally decided on a pair of jean shorts, a blue shirt and blue sandals. I left my hair down, and put on lip gloss. I practically paced a hole in my floor until 5 came. The doorbell rang and I ran to the door.
"Hey..." I said as I opened it. I had to keep my mouth from hanging open. He was wearing a pale green shirt and a pair of jeans, and looked even better then the day before.
"Hey..." He replied. He handed me a white rose.
"Thank you..." I turned around a walked to the kitchen. I could feel his eyes on me. I wrote a quick note for Denise and Dad and turned around.
"Are you ready?" I asked. All I got was a blank stare. "Nick.....hello??" I asked laughing.
"Are you sure you're the real Ginny? You didn't look like this yesterday..." Nick said.
"Nick, don't be weird. There's only one of me. Now, are we gonna sit here and stare at me or are we going to go have fun?" I walked to the door, smiling. It is great having this affect on him. He was totally speechless. He ran and caught up with me and we left. We started the evening by going to a few teenage hangouts, then we went to an all night diner and sat and ate dinner. We talked about everything. He drove me home and promised to be looking for me at the party Friday. I was disapointed he didn't try and kiss me but I went inside happy anyway. I walked in and was practically attacked by Denise.
"Where have you been?"
"Didnt you get my note?"
"Oh, you left a note? I guess I missed it"
"Well, I went out to dinner and to hang out with an old friend, that's all."
"Ok, dear. Well, I'm going to bed."
I laughed at the fact she had been waiting up for me. "Goodnight Denise."
"Nite honey, I love you."
"I love you too." I watched Denise go upstairs then went into the living room to watch some tv. I guess I fell asleep there because I woke up at 10 am still on the couch. I realized the phone was ringing so I reached for it sleepily.
"llo?" I mumbled.
"Hey, Gin"
"What do you want Alex. Its really early."
" I just wanted to make sure you had plenty of time to get ready for the party at 9 tonight."
"You're a big jerk sometimes, Alex."
"Am not." he laughed.
"So..." I said, wanting to hang up and go back to sleep.
"So...um, did Nick show you a nice time last night?"
"What?" I sat up, the statement getting my attention."How do you know about that?"
"I, um, guessed..." Alex said quickly.
"Dont fucking lie. How do you know!!! And you better tell me the truth..."
"Well, I kinda asked him to take you out. I mean, I figured since"
I didn't even let Alex finish his explanation. I hung up and threw the phone across the room. Thats why he didnt try and kiss me or anything. It just figures. I went and looked in the mirror. I think its time for another change.
