The JIVE party lasted well past midnight. Nick and Jenna did their share of dancing. Infact, both danced so much, they were dead tired. Even Brian and Katie were tired. So they all mutually agreed that it was time to head back to Brian's place. Kevin was going to be staying at his girlfriends that night, so he wouldn't be home.
"Girls, you two looked so beautiful tonight!" Brian said as he pulled into his driveway.
"Yeah...Brian's right! You two were the hottest girls their." Nick said while putting his arm around Jenna.
"You two are all talk!" Jenna said modestly.
"Yeah...Jenna's right! I mean, you guys were the hottest ones their." Katie said.
Brian glanced at Nick in the rearview mirror and began to laugh.
"Yeah....your right, Katie! Brian and I were the hottest ones their!" Nick said while laughing. Jenna elbowed him in the gut and laughed too.
**********************
The four of them literally dragged each other into Brian's house. They were all dead tired. Jenna and Nick walked up stairs together, and Katie and Brian followed close behind. Katie and Jenna took the guestroom that had two twin beds in it. Nick took Kevin's room, and Brian took his own room.
"So Katie? You and Brian seem to be hitting it off real well!" Jenna said while taking off her make-up.
"Oh yeah!" Katie said dreamily.
"Ha ha ha! You like him, don't you? You really like him!" Jenna said.
"Yeah, I do! I do really like him. But, their is a big age difference between both of us." Katie said.
"So what! Their is an age difference between Nick and I, also!" Jenna said.
"It's not the same! I mean, he likes me, I know he does! But, I don't think it is the way I like him." Katie said.
"Well, I think you may be wrong. You just wait and see." Jenna said while smiling.
Both girls got into their beds and flipped on the TV. Just as they were getting settled in, a soft knock came from their door. Jenna sat up and walked over to the door. She was in her little boy shorts, and strappy tank. She always wore things like that to bed. She knew it was either Nick, or Brian. To her surprise it was both.
"Hey sugar!" Nick said while hugging Jenna.
"Hey babe! You missed me already didn't you? I mean, I am only down the hall." Jenna said while laughing.
"I know sweety! But Brain here wanted to see Katie." Nick said. Jenna looked over at Brian to see his face turning red. Katie was also blushing.
"Aww....Brian, that's real sweet! You wanted to say goodnight to me?" Katie asked.
"Yeah...I did. Well, do you want to come into my room and watch a movie? I know it's late, but do you want to?" Brian asked nervously.
"YEAH! SURE!!!" Katie said while jumping off of the bed.
Brian and Katie left Nick and Jenna alone in the room. Jenna laughed at how fast Katie had left with Brian. Nick smiled at the fact that they were both alone.
"Wow! I guess they are both happy?" Jenna said, still laughing.
"Yeah, but their not as happy as I am!" Nick said.
Jenna held Nick's hand and led him over to her bed were she was laying before. He climbed in right next to her.
"Oh yeah....and why is that? Mr. Carter?" Jenna asked curiously.
"Well, for starters! I'm here with you. And I can't think of anywhere else I would rather be right now." Nick said while stroking Jenna's cheek.
Jenna stared into Nick's eyes. She got lost in them everytime, but she didn't care. She loved how Nick always said the sweetest things to her. Even when they were just friends, he would always say sweet things.
"AW! Nick! How did I get soooooo lucky?" Jenna cooed.
"Your lucky? Nah-uh! I'm the lucky one, sweety!" Nick said.
"You sure about that?" Jenna said while smiling.
"Yeah...you wanna see how lucky I am?" Nick said.
Jenna bit her bottom lip and nodded her head. Nick leaned his head in closer to hers, slowly. Their lips finally met. Their kiss wasn't passionate, it was more romantic and sweet. In fact, one of the sweetest kisses Jenna had ever had. When they pulled away, they both smiled at eachother. Nick and Jenna stayed wrapped in eachother's arms for the rest of the night.
***********************
Brian and Katie sat on the tiny love seat that was next to his bed. They were watching some late night movie. Brian's attention wasn't really on the movie, it was on Katie. The same went for Katie. Her attention was on Brian.
"Katie! I had alot of fun tonight, thanks for going with me." Brian said.
"Thanks for asking me. I had the best night of my life. Your such a blast." Katie said.
They both sat their silent for a few minutes. They both waited for eachother to make the next move and say something. Finally Brian spoke up.
"Katie? Can I...well, can I tell you something?" Brian asked.
"Of course, Brian!" Katie said.
"Ok...well, I am really beginning to like you! Being with you tonight seemed like the right thing. I haven't had that much fun in a while. I mean, with the break-up between Leigh Anne and all. But, you really made me forget about it." Brian said.
"Oh my gosh!" Katie said with shock.
"What? What's wrong?" Brian asked with worry.
"Nothing's wrong! I just, I can't believe you like me, too! I told Jenna tonight that I liked you. But, I didn't think you felt the same way. Now I know you do!" Katie said quickly.
That is what Brian liked so much about her. Katie had so much energy. Even at 2 in the morning. He smiled and took her hand in his.
"Well, I do like you! I know their is an age difference and all, but I don't care. So, would you be my girlfriend?" Brian asked.
"Of course!! Oh my gosh! Brian, you made my night!" Katie said while hugging him.
"No..you made mine!" Brian said while laughing.
"Really?" Katie asked sweetly.
"Yeah....you wanna see how?" Brian said.
Katie nodded and smiled. Brian leaned in slowly and stroked her cheek. He then brushed his lips with Katie's. The two kissed for a few minutes, and then cuddled.
