Chapter 17
“So what’s your brilliant idea?” Jay asked as they all continued to watch
Jeff.
Jeff smiled and came to sit next to Matt again. “Here’s my idea....” Jeff said softly as they all stared anxiously at him in wonder. “Matt you lay low for a few days, don’t call Jessica or anything like that, don’t even see her. Jay and Adam are going to come with me, while we set some things up...” Jeff said as Matt interrupted.
“Set up what things?” Matt asked looking at Jeff like he was crazy.
Jeff patted Matt’s shoulder looking at him, “Jay and Adam and I are going to set up some fun, romantic things for you and Jessica to do so that when you tell her she won’t be very angry with you!” Jeff said smiling. Matt looked at his long time friend and wasn’t sure what to say.
So instead Adam spoke, “Easy solution!” He said standing. All of them looked to Adam as he spoke again, “Call her on the phone.... tell her all about it!”
Matt stared at Adam, he couldn’t help it he had to laugh. Jay and Jeff did too.
Matt shook his head as he looked from one of his friends to the other, “No guys look, I’m just gonna tell her next time I see her, I dunno how too, but she’d eventually find out sooner or later anyways. Its better she hear it sooner rather then later! Sorry guys if I racked your brains for nothing. Jeff that was a nice idea, but guys this is something I have to do myself I guess! Thanks anyways.” Matt said standing as he looked at each of his friends.
They all just looked at him. Matt stood there for a moment not moving.
“So you’re going to tell her for real this time!?” Jeff asked looking up at Matt.
Matt grinned, “Yeah I have to...” Matt said trailing off as the doorbell rang. Matt looked at them in horror.
“Who do you think that is?” Jeff asked looking at Matt.
Matt’s eyes went wide, “I dunno! What if its Jessica?!” Matt asked looking at them; he suddenly began to feel nervous again.
Adam shrugged, “Then you have something to tell her right?!” Adam said stretching.
“Reekazoid!” Jay said rolling his eyes at Adam.
Jeff looked back at Adam and spoke, “Matt means what does he do if its Jessica and we’re all here!”
“Ohhh!” Adam said smiling embarrassed.
Jeff rolled his eyes as he turned to see Matt again.
Jeff shrugged, “Dude I dunno.” Matt looked toward the door as the bell rang again. Matt took a deep breath and turned to go get the door.
“Good Luck!” Jay called after Matt.
Yeah thanks Matt thought, I’ll
need it.
Matt got to the door and glanced at his reflection in the mirror by the door. He took a deep breath and unlocked the door and opened it slowly.
