Late Dates

GRACE'S POV

We were walking back up toward the house; this time holding hands. I looked up only to stop in my tracks. I could see Nicolette, Zach, and Jason staring at them from the back door.

"They're back together," I whispered barely loud enough for me to hear.

Everyone met back up at the house around 10:30. The boys left then and everybody traded numbers. Us girls were finally alone. Nicolette and Jason said they were both going to "bed"... Ha! Bridget gave me a look after Nicolette said that.

"Both of you don't say anything," Nic said to us. "We are tired. That's all!"

Bridget jumped on top of me and imitated what she thought they were going to do tonight. She even moaned for effect. I just laughed and covered my face with my hands. Nicolette kicked us and stomped upstairs while we just laughed.

Jason walked out of the bathroom only to see us in this position. "What are you two doing?"

We both quickly fumbled to stand up, still giggling. "Nothing!" Bridget said. With that he walked upstairs. "These walls aren't soundproof by the way!" Bridget yelled after him.

She pulled me over to the couch and sat me down. "Spill. Tell me everything that happened with you and James."

My cheeks starting flaming. "We just walked down the beach holding hands and we talked."

"Just talked my ass! Details, details!" She laughed.

"We walked to the end of the beach where the ships deport and he made this gorgeous shell angel out of me. Then he lifted me up so we wouldn't mess it up. Then..." I slowly stopped talking.

"Then? What? Just tell me!" She said pinching me.

"Ow," I said rubbing my arm. "Then we walked back up to the house and he stopped me before we got there and... He kissed me! Okay? He kissed me," I said covering my face with my hands.

"Grace's in love," Bridget said exaggerating "o" in love.

"Am not! You know for a fact I don't move that fast! I dated his best friend for almost 4 years... Do you think Zach will get mad at him? I don't want to start stuff," I said starting to get worried.

"Well Zach broke up with you... He shouldn't get mad... Unless he's the jealous type. Which he is not. So I think you're okay," she said winking at me.

"Okay," I said a little relieved. "So how's Luke?" I asked excitedly.

"I think we're back together! I'm happy. I've missed him." She smiled at me.

"Bridget... I hate to be the debby-downer over here, but what if you break up again? Are you sure you're gonna be okay? Do you think it's a little fast to be saying that? I don't want to go through that again. It scared the living shit out of me," I stated.

"I'll be fine. I should know what to expect anyway. Trust me." I believed her this time for some unknown reason. She looked like she'd be able to handle herself.

"Okay, just be careful. If something seems wrong, don't try anything. Just talk to him about it." My phone vibrated in my lap and I looked who it was; James.

He texted me:

Meet me outside in 10 ;)

I showed Bridget. "I don't think I'm gonna go. I'm tired and I don't even know what to say to him," I said starting to reply.

"NO!" She yelled grabbing my phone out of my hands. When I tried to reach for it she started kicking me.

After many kicks and some screams, she smiled a wicked smile and handed me my phone.
