While Em and Lissa were in the ladies room talking about lifes many twists and turns, Amy and Cate were out at the table with the guys.
"So Jeff, you and Lissa been friends a long time, huh?" Cate asked just anticipating hearing his voice.
"Yeah, we've been best friends for as long as I can remember."
"I've never understood why the two of you are not a couple." Nick said
Jeff was about to answer Nick when Lissa and Em returned.
"We will finish this conversation later Nick." Jeff said in a low tome giving Nick a look of death.
"What did we miss?" Em asked
"Nick just asked why..." Amers started to say when Jeff interrupted her.
"Oh nothing, we were just talking about how long we've known each other." Jeff said
"Oh, it seems like forever to me." Lissa said with a smile.
Just then a slow song started to play.
"Lissa, would you do me the honors and dance with me?" Jeff asked
Lissa smiled, half blushing and graciously accepted.
"That's a great idea." Nick said
"Amy would you like to dance?" Nick asked
"I thought you would never aks." Amy said with a smile
The next thing Em notices was that Cate and Justin were dancing too. So she is left sitting at the table with Drew. She turns to him and noticed that he's to shy to ask her to dance. So she took the lead and asked him.
Meanwhile... Everyone has been dancing and getting to know each other. No one has realized they have been dancing for about ten minutes straight until a song came on that Jeff loves. (Lets pretend that 98 Degrees doesn't sing this)
Love, I see forever in you eyes
I can see heaven in your smile
And when I hold you close
I don't want to let go
Because deep in my soul I know girl
You are the only light I see
Your love means everything to me
I promise that we'll never part
'Cause you'll always be in my heart
If the sun should refuse to rise
And the moon doesn't hand in the night
The tides won't change, seasons rearrange
I will still love you
Girl you're like an angel from above
Sent here to shower me with your love
Hold me beneath your wings
Tell me all the things
All the hopes and the dreams we can share
'Cause I'll be your shelter from the storm
I'll be the fire that keeps you warm
I'll be your light in the dark
'Cause you'll always be in my heart
If the sun should refuse to rise
And the moon doesn't hang in the night
The tides won't change, seasons rearrange
When the world is through
I will still love you
If anything could last forever
It's what I feel for you
(that's what I feef for you)
Oh baby, you touch my heart in ways
That words could never say
That's why I'll always love you
If the sun should refuse to rise
And the moon doesn't hand in the night
The tide won't change, seasons rearrange
When the world is through
I will still love you
~*Back at the table*~
"I can't wait until tommorrow night to see you perform." Em said
"I have an idea. Would you ladies like to come to the rehearsal tommorrow afternoon with us?" Drew asked
"Sure" they all said in unison
"What a great idea Drew! We could introduce them to everyone then." Jeff said
"That would be great! What time?" Lissa asked
"I think we have to be there for 1pm." Justin said
"Well, how about we all get together for brunch around 11:30am ish?" Jeff suggested
"Sounds good to me." Cate said
"Great then it's a date!" Drew said with a smile as he looked directly at Em.
"Em, are Jeff and Lissa always like this?" Amy commented
"Like what?"
"I don't know...so...agreeable with eachother?" Amy said
"You know I've never noticed it before." Em said with a laugh
"Is anyone up for a walk along the beach?" Nick asked
"Yeah!" Drew said
"I'm not talking to you." Nick said jokingly
"Lets get out of here." Cate said
Before Amy knew it Nick was leading her out the door.
Everyone else got up and followed.
"He definately is smooth" Jeff said with a smile
As they were walking along the beach Em called out to Amers and Nick to wait up for the rest of them. As they started to catch up with them Jeff slowed down and grabbed Lissa.
"Jeff, What is it?" Lissa asked
Jeff was trying to muster up the courage to tell her that he loved her, really loved her. But he was afraid of what she would say seeing they had been best friends for so long. At the last moment he lost his nerve.
"I just wanted to tell you that I've missed you."
"I've missed you too." She said as she looked into his deep blue eyes.
Just then they heard a loud scream. Em, Cate, Amers, Justin, Drew, and Nick were having a water fight. And Nick had just splashed Amers and Cate. (*Water fight! LMGDAO ~Thanks Guys! You know who you are.*)
"Oooohhh... You're gonna get it for that Mr." Cate said with an evil tone
Everyone started to laugh.
"Come on guys we should head back up. We have alot to do tommorrow." Jeff said
"You're right it's getting pretty late." Em said
On the way home everyone was talking about the fun they had that evening. When they pulled up infront of the girls house everyone got out of the car and said their goodbyes.
"It was a pleasure to meet you" Amers and Cate said.
"The pleasure was all ours." Nick said with a smile
Cate turned to amers and said in a low tone, " I think you have a new friend." Amers blushed.
"Well, I guess i will see you tommorrow then." Drew said looking at Em.
Em smiled and said goodnight to everyone. She then turned and grabbed Lissa.
"Goodnight"
"Goodnight"
The girls all went insid eas the guys drove away.
~*Once inside*~
"I still can't believe we were with 98 Degrees tonight." Cate said
"Well believe it" Amers said
"Well, I'm going to bed, we have to get up early to be ready for brunch tommorrow." Lissa said
"Sounds good to me." Em said
"Goodnight guys" Em and Lissa said
"Goodnight"
"Amers did you see the way Jeff was looking at Lissa tonight? I think he has a thing for her."
"I don't know Cate, it could have been just that they haven't seen each other ina a while."
"Maybe you're right."
"Let's get some sleep. Remember we are meeting them for brunch." Cate said
"How can I forget?" Amers said with a sigh.
Oh, are you thinking about a certain someone?" Cate asked
"I plead the 5th" Amers said as she throws a pillow at Cate
"Goodnight"
"Goodnight"
~*Back at the guys hotel room*~
"Now can you please tell me why you and Lissa are not a couple?" Nick asked
"I can't believe yo brought that up at dinner tonight!" Jeff said
"Its a good thing she didn't hear you. And to answer your question....I don't know." Jeff said
"But tonight I tried to tell her that I loved her, really loved her at the beach."
"And?! What did she day?" Justin asked
"Nothing I chickened out at the last minute. But I plan on telling her tommorrow at the Party."
"What about you there Mr. Smooth? What's up with you and Amy?" Jeff asked
"Nothing!" Nick said getting all defensive
"Yeah okay, whatever." Jeff said with a smile
"For now I'm just letting fate take over." Nick said
"If only in my dreams." Jeff said as they turned out the light.
