"Well, all I want to do is take a shower," he said, walking away.
"All I wanna do, is have some fun," I started singing. He glanced at me, weirdly. He acted like that sometimes, but I'd gotten used to it by now. If he didn't like what I was doing, he kinda gave me a "look", but said nothing. I didn't care, I knew he loved me. "Well, after you're finished, then what do you want to do?" I asked, hoping for a response.
"Sleep..." he said, walking into the dressing room. Great, I thought to myself. Another lonely night in the life of Jessica Brown. He'd been doing that lately, take a shower, and sleep. I stopped dead in my tracks. Could there be another girl? No way, I reassured myself, but there was a nagging feeling about it. I'd have to ask Nick, when I got a chance to pry him away from Lisa. "Hey, do you want to come with us? We're gonna go see the new movie, The Talented Mr. Ripley," Nick asked, coming up behind me, and putting his hand around my waist. I could feel Lisa glaring at me, but it felt good being held by someone, even if it wasn't my own boyfriend and just a really great friend. "Is it okay with you guys?" I asked, looking at them.
"Well, Nick, I think..." Lisa started.
"Of course, would I be asking you if it wasn't?" Nick cut Lisa off. I could feel a mean comment coming on from Lisa, but if Nick said okay, then screw her. "Sure, sounds great. But it will be pretty lonely without AJ," I commented.
"Well, I'll certainly be lucky, 2 girls," Nick laughed. Lisa glared at me, as if I'd intruded on them. "I'll pick you up at 7," Nick said, as Lisa pushed him into a corner. I hated the way she did that, always rubbing it in my face, so I got the picture that they were going out. That Nick wasn't single. As if I even wanted to mess with her. I quietly walked out, I couldn't bear to watch them. She made me sick, they way she made it so obvious to everyone that passed. I sighed, that was Nick's problem, not mine. One day, I'd have to tell him what a pig she was, but not now. They were just starting out, and I didn't want to ruin it for him. But I knew he could do so much better, even I was better than Lisa. I thought to myself for a second. Me and Nick?! No way, it would never work, we could probably never look at each other as more than friends. But he was always handy, he made me feel good even when AJ didn't. I opened my car door, and sat down. What a silly thought, me and Nick.
