3 GUYS, A GIRL, AND A ROSE
Chapter Thirty-Five
"You guys are talking now?" Rose
asked. They had gone to the movies and now were eating pizza.
"Yeah. We were quiet most of the night.
She kind of hung up on me after I told her I wasn't hanging up." Rose laughed.
"I still love her. She still is my best friend."
"I hope so. I hope it turns out for the
best."
"She said she'll try not to act out in
front of you when we're together. Hopefully when I'm not around as well."
"I'd hope so. You realize we've known
each other for two months Jack."
"I certainly have. I'd never forget.
Especially now since you're all mine." Rose blushed and kissed him.
"Now look I got pizza sauce on your
face." Rose licked it off.
"All gone." Jack smiled. He was
crazy in love with her despite the fact that he only had known her for two
months and they'd only been dating for a week. It wasn't hard to fall in love
with her.
"Wanna come over?" Jack asked her.
"I don't see the harm in that."

Jack and Rose went to his place. He enjoyed
spending all his time with her. Jack checked his answering machine. He had a
message saying not to come to work tomorrow morning and one from Christina. He
played it:
"Hey Jack. Sorry for hanging up on you
like that. I'm at Tommy's right now. We're all going to go bowling tomorrow at
Mark Lanes. If you want to come, do so. You could bring your girlfriend as
well. I'm willing to try to work things out. Tommy will drive us there. Since
Fabrizio lives right b he'll meet us. So come! I love you! I know that's what
you wanted to hear."
That was the message. It had brought a smile
to Jack's face.
"So my lady, will you have the pleasure
in bowling with us tomorrow?" Jack asked smiling at her.
"I don't know," Rose said.
"She said she'd be willing to make it
work. She said I could bring you. You heard her."
"You think that's such a good
idea?" Rose asked. She was cautious about Christina's motives.
"Would she have invited you if it
wasn't."
"Maybe I should stay home." Rose
said. Jack pouted. "Don't you give me that look." Jack smiled and
kissed her.
"You know that just may have convinced
me."
"So you'll come."
"Fine!" Jack hugged her.
"Just give me a kiss." Jack did as
she said and kissed her.
"That's more like it."
