"So I guess you won't be home until later tonight huh," Kristin said to Rachel, who was fixing her hair.
"Yeah, I guess. It depends on what Brian wants to do."
The phone rang and Kristin went to go pick it up. "Hello?"
"Hi is Kristin there?" It was Nick.
"This is she."
"Hi Kristin this is Nick."
Kristin smiled in excitement. "What's up?"
"Nothing much. I was just . . . Uh . . . wondering if you wanna come over to my place and watch a movie. That is . . . if you aren't busy."
"No, I'm not busy."
"So you want to come over?"
"Yeah," Kristin said.
"OK, I'll come pick you up in an hour or so," said Nick.
"OK I'll be ready to go."
"I'll see you later."
"Bye."
"Bye."
Kristin hung up the phone in a daze. Rachel came out of the bathroom and looked at Kristin.
"Who was that on the phone?" Rachel asked.
"Nick," Kristin said as she casually walked passed Rachel and into the bathroom.
Rachel followed her. "Oh really? What did he want?" she asked with a smirk.
"Must you be so nosy?" Kristin said jokingly.
Rachel grinned. "Okay smart ass."
"All right if you must know, Nick invited me to his place to watch a movie."
"Did he really?"
"Yeah," Kristin said while brushing hair.
"You go girlfriend!" Rachel said with a laugh. "And you thought he didn't like you."
Kristin blushed. "I never said that."
"No, but you sure as hell were thinking it. Weren't you?"
Kristin stopped brushing her hair, turned around and looked at Rachel. "What if after tonight he doesn't like me?"
Rachel gave Kristin a sincere look. "If he doesn't like you then he's an idiot. You are a wonderful person and any guy who doesn't like you isn't worth it." Kristin hugged Rachel. "Thank you."
Just then, there was a knock at the door. "That must be Brian," Rachel said. She went to answer it. There, outside the door, stood Brian. "Hi," she said with a smile.
"Are you ready to go?"
"Just about. Come on in." Rachel said as she headed to her room. Brian stepped in and followed her. Rachel went and got her tennis shoes. Brian looked at the poster of himself hanging above Rachel's bed and smirked.
"That's a good picture of me."
Rachel looked up at Brian and blushed. "Yeah," she said as she finished tying her shoes.
"Hey Rachel do I look OK?" Kristin said as she came out of the bathroom. She was wearing a pair of light denim jeans with a light blue tank top. Her shoes were white with yellow flowers on the side.
"You look cute," Rachel said.
Kristin sighed as she looked herself in the full length mirror on the bathroom door. "I do?"
Rachel got up and grabbed a black hair clip from the drawer. "Let me fix just one thing" she said as she started to fix Kristin's hair. She put it up in a pony tail. "There, that looks good," Rachel said as she admired her work.
Kristin looked at it and smiled. "Thanks."
"No prob," Rachel said.
Brian was standing behind them. He fluttered his eyelashes. "Oh I just can't seem to do anything with my hair," he said with a laugh. Rachel elbowed him in the ribs. "Ouch! Watch it!" he said as he rubbed his ribs.
Rachel giggled. "Well, you deserved it."
Brian stood closer to her. "Oh really?" he said with a smirk.
Rachel was looking into his blue eyes. She almost died. "Yes, really," she said softly.
Rachel looked away and cleared her throat. "Are you ready to go?" she asked Brian.
"I'm ready if you are," he said.
"Okay then let's go."
Rachel said bye to Kristin and left. Leaving Kristin by herself in the apartment. She sighed as she went into the bathroom and double checked her hair and make up. She gave her lips gloss and final touch and sprayed on a little strawberry body spray. With one last look at herself in the mirror she turned the light off and sat on her bed. She looked up at the poster of Nick and sighed in anxiety. Don't be nervous. Just be yourself, Kristin thought. She jumped when there was a knock on the door. Kristin slowly got up and answered the door. Outside the door stood Nick. He was wearing black shoes, Tommy jeans, and a bright green button down shirt. God he is so gorgeous, she thought.
"Are you ready to go?" Nick asked.
"Yeah," Kristin said as she stepped outside. She noticed Nick had his hands behind his back. "What are you hiding?" Kristin asked with a grin.
Nick blushed and shyly handed her a rose. "This is for you."
"Thank you," Kristin said as she took it.
"Shall we go now?" Nick asked with a smile.
"Yeah," Kristin said softly.
Nick shyly took her hand in his and they walked to his car.
