Reckless

Chapter 9

I go in my room and I wanna pick out something for tonight. I still can't believe that he said yes. Why was he so willing to do this? I just hope everything goes good. At least his temper calmed down. I'm gonna talk to him about it. I walk to my closet. I open the door and walk in. Should I wear jeans? A dress? Should it be casual? Ugh. I'll just wear dark wash jeans and a shirt.. Yeah, that's what I'll wear. I look at the clock. It's only 4. I have a long time until he gets here. Crap! I never told him that time to be here. I go and get my phone.

To Jc:
Hey, I forgot to tell you what time you are coming over. Be here my maybe 7.

From Jc:
Okay. See you later babe (;

I lock my phone and decided to take a shower to pass some time. I get finished, I get dressed and grabbed my blow drier. I dry my hair completely, So I finish that, I'm gonna come back and finish later. I leave the bathroom and plop down on my bed. I grab my phone off the side table, I have a text from Kian.

From Kian:
Hey. I heard about tonight. Let's hope he doesn't mess it up. Lol

To Kian:
Yeah, but I'm so nervous. Jc is a bit explosive. I don't know what's gonna happen.

From Kian:
There's nothing to worry about. He'll be fine. I'll talk to you later.

I check the time. It's 5:30. I'm so nervous. I don't want Jc to explode. I shouldn't even care, I don't even like Jc. I should be hoping that he messes up and my mom doesn't want me seeing him. I don't know what's wrong with me. Ugh. I don't really like Jc, or do i? No, I don't. I can't. I get up and head downstairs. I want some food. I walk in the kitchen and go in the fridge. Empty. I check the pantry, empty. "I should go get something to eat." I say to myself. I run back up the stairs, I grab money, keys, and my phone out of my room and go to the car.

I hop in. I grab my phone and the aux cord. I plug my phone in, I put my music on shuffle and Cameron Dallas starts playing. "Late night, no dress code she stay fly like jets go." I start rapping as I head to panera bread. I stop at a light. "Don't have no reasons, ain't got no MO." I rap some more. I look over and guess who's right next to me. It's Ricky. I turn down the music a little. "Hey Ricky!" I yell so he can hear me. I get no response. I hock the horn and that gets his attention. "Oh hey Jessica. I didn't see you there." He says. "Hi Ricky, where are you headed?" I ask. "Just to panera with Shelby. You?" I get so excited. "I'm going there too. I'll meet you there" the light turns green and I turn up the music a little louder. "She a good girl, but you know she bad though." I sing. I finally pull up to Panera and I spot Ricky's car. I park right next to his car and get out. I walk inside and get in line. "Hey Ricky." I say with excitement. "Hi Jessica, I don't think you've met Shelby." He introduces us. "Shelby, this is Jessica. Jessica Shelby. "Hey Jessica nice to meet you." Shelby says. "Hi, nice to meet you to." I say with a smile. "Oh yeah I forgot, this is Jc's girlfriend." Ricky says. "Oh you are?" Shelby asks. "Yeah. I guess that you can say that." I say though closed teeth.
"Next customer!" The cashier yells. "That's us." Ricky says. "We should sit together after we order." He adds. "Yeah, that sounds fun!" I respond. Ricky's don't ordering. It's my turn to go in line. "I'll have a cheddar broccoli soup, and mac & cheese." "Okay. That will be $7.47" I hand her the money. "Thank you." I walk away. I look around trying to find where Ricky and Shelby are. I look and see Ricky waving his hand to get my attention. I walk over to the booth. "Jessica, give me your number, so we can talk and hangout more." Ricky says as I sit down. "Yeah, okay." I give him my number. "Why do you only hangout with Jc during school? I never see you guys together." I ask. He stars at me for a second. " um. I really don't know, we just don't." He says. My phone goes off. "Who's that?" Ricky says. "Just Kian and Jc. They texted me." I say whole looking at my phone. "Maybe you should answer them, it might be important." He says.

From Kian:
Hey. What's up?

To Kian:
Out with Ricky and Shelby, talk to you later!

From Jc:
I'm getting ready! See you soon.

To Jc:
See you soon.

I look at the time 6:00 pm. "Guys, I'm gonna have to leave. I have to do something with Jc tonight." "But your food hasn't come yet." Shelby says. "It's okay. You guys can have it if you want" I say while getting up. "Nice hanging out with you guys! See you later." I add while heading to the door. I get to my car and start to drive home. "It's 6 so I'll get home at 6:30 and I'll have a little time to get ready." I say to myself. I finally get into my driveway. I walk him. "Honey, is that you?" Mom yells. "Yeah, it's me!" I yell back. "Jc is gonna be here soon. Get ready!" "Okay mom!" I run up stairs. I keep the same outfit on and wave my hair. I put on a little bit of makeup. Well, that was quick. I check the time. 6:58. Crap! I run downstairs to my mom. "I'm done!" I yell. I get a text from Jc.

From Jc:
I'm in your driveway, come outside.

"Mom, Jc's here. I'm gonna get him!" I yell. I open the door and there he is. Now I'm even more nervous than before. He looked so good. Jeans and a black shirt. He looks so good. Wait, I hate him remember. You can't like him. I walk over "hey Jc." I say "hi babe." He says. We walk to the door. He grabs my hand and our fingers intertwine. My heart is beating so fast. I shouldn't be so nervous. But here we go. I open the door and head inside...
