Highway

"COME ON!  I HAVE A PLACE TO BE! " Jack yelled as the cars in the road piled up.

He honked his horn but it didn't work. The only way he could get to Jackie's was to drive on the wrong side of the road.

Jack got out of his car and told an officer what was going on. The officer got the cars over to the sides enough for Jack's car to get through.

Jackie's Home

Jack knocked on Jackie's door. To his suprise his brother Tedd opened the door.

"Tedd? " Jack's eybrows arched.

"Oh.. Did I not tell you? I'm going out with Jackie's sister. "

"We'll talk about this later can you get Jackie? "

"Sure. JACKIE, JACK IS HERE! LATE BUT HERE! "

Jackie came down the steps still dressed in her date outfit.

"I'm sorry. My brother came over and I lost track of time and there was traffic then.. " Jackie kissed him in the middle of his sentence.

"I'm just happy you showed up! " Jack pulled Jackie into a hug.

"Of course I came!  I will always come. " Jack said this softly in Jackie's ear.

"And I'll do the same for you. " Jackie whispered back.

Jack smiled and gave Jackie a tighter hug.

"How does a movie sound? " Jack asked.

"Wonderful! " Jackie beamed.

"Can we trust you alone? " Jack asked Teddy and Lee.

"Yes mom! " Teddy laughed. Jack and Jackie smiled and left.
