Friends & Paradise

Chapter 25 - Movie Nights (Natasha's POV)

After Amelia came back from visiting Jason, Danielle and I looked up from the TV to the door. She seemed satisfied or something. Then, she walked over to the couch where Danielle and I were sitting.

"So, is he coming tonight?" I asked.

"What? Oh yeah, he is coming tonight, don't worry." Amelia assured me, as she sat back in the sofa.

"Okay, Danielle. Unless you want to be here forever alone watching movies while Amelia and I have dates, you have to ask Jack to come here."

"What? Why him?" Danielle asked, kind of surprised.

"Well, unless you want to ask Ralph and her little Blondie to come. Or would you rather stay forever alone?"

"I guess I would so much rather stay alone."

"But, I just don't want you to feel left out or something."

"Who said she'll be left out? Aaron and I are not in a date; he's just coming over to get to know me better. And to me, he is just a friend. I just met him." Amelia said.

"Exactly, so I won't be alone." Danielle said.

"So, I'll be the only one with a date?" I asked.

"Yeah, but in your case it's different. Yours is a date, Amelia's isn't. And in my case, I'd much rather stay alone than go with little Mr. Jerk from Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin."

"I thought you said he was like the perfect guy for you." Amelia said.

"And I thought he was, but he turned out to be even worse than Ralph...And that means a lot if I say it." Danielle said.

"So, is Jack like gone and forgotten?" I asked.

"He's over and done with. And I don't care what he does with his life anymore."

"Wow, sounds kind of tough." Amelia said, chuckling.

"What about you? You're not interested in anyone yet?" I asked her.

"Not really, no. I, personally, don't think that love is in the cards for me this spring break. I am pretty sure I'll just be the one to control you two to not get your hearts broken."

"Well, I wouldn't say that..." Danielle said.

"I don't like him." Amelia said.

"Oh, come on! Can you at least admit he is good-looking?"

"Fine, he is. But... i go more than just looks."

"Personality is one of the most important things." I said.

"That's true. I mean, yeah maybe he's really cute, but i don't want to end up dating a douche-bag like someone here...next to me." Amelia said eyeing Danielle.

"What? You cannot tell me that you didn't think he'd be like Jack from Titanic." Danielle said.

"Maybe, but just remember, looks are no more important than a good personality." Amelia said.

"Whatever you say, boss." Danielle said.

"Anyway, it's only four. We have a lot of time before the boys come." I said.

"Maybe we should just pick out what movie we're watching." Amelia said.

"Okay." I said, and then got up from the couch and stood in-front of the coffee table and covering the LCD with my body from my friend's eye view. I looked through the DVD's that were set on the coffee table. We had Sex And The City movies 1 and 2, Titanic, Valentine's Day, The Notebook, No Strings Attached, Just Go With It, Water For Elephants, Bad Tea-"
