I stand with a beer next to the fireplace between Kevin and Jim as we conversate about Jim's hair. I tried to do something with it but it really didn't work since his hair is so short.

"What's up, fellas?" Chuck Sherman walks over to us before standing beside Kevin. "Hello, Jacqueline."

He winks at me slightly. I bite my lip to stop from gagging.

"Scopin' the babes." Jim says, taking a drink of his beer, trying to get the attention off me.

"Indeed. Some fine ladies here, boys. Confidence is high, repeat, confidence is high." Sherman says, glancing at the women around us. "Sherman is moving to DefCon Two, full strategic arsenal ready for deployment."

"You've got something going tonight, Sherman?" Jim asks, turning toward him a bit.

"Did you see that Central Chick? Brunette?" He questions.

"No." The three of us answer together.

"She's around. Seems that she's taken a liking to me. Fellas, Goddess, it's time that she experienced...The Sherminator."

"Yeah, okay." I roll my eyes.

"Whatever, Sherman."

Kevin turns and grabs my arm so we can leave, but Sherman continues to speak.

"I'm a sophisticated sex robot, sent back through time...to change the future for one lucky lady." He says, putting up a finger.

"You go get 'em tiger." Jim says, pointing at him.

"I'll be back." He says, imitating the Terminator before walking away.

I roll my eyes and sigh. "Does he really think that is going to help him?"

"I believe so." Jim nods.

"Hi." I hear from behind me.

I glance over my shoulder to see Vicky. I smile at her and she waves slightly with a wider smile. She then leans up and whispers into Kevin's ear.

"Oh, shit." Jim says, slapping my stomach lightly with the back of his hand. "There she is. Nadia."

I look up to see the exchange student standing with a couple of girls. She glances up and smiles at Jim.

"She just looked at me." Jim says, turning toward us.

"Why don't you go talk to her?" Kevin asks, wrapping an arm around Vicky.

"Yeah..." Jim smiles slightly. "Yeah, Kev. You're right. I should just go talk to her."

He turns back to look at Nadia who is looking at him again. Vicky pulls on Kevin's hand causing them to walk away before Jim looks back at us.

"Where did they go?" He asks.

"No fucking clue." I shrug and turn to him so we're facing each other. "Forget about them. Okay, Jim. You go over there and talk to her. You need to be confident. You're my twin so you're definitely good looking. All you need is confidence. Go and say 'hi, my name is Jim. Can I get you a drink?' Bam! You're in, okay?"
