Two weeks later...
"JJ, has Nick called?" I asked. It was a Saturday morning and I'd just gotten up. It was 11:30 and Nick had promised to call me. "No, not yet," JJ said sounding annoyed. "What's your problem?" I asked.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Its just Mr. Baliey is really loading us up with homework and I've been working on it for the past hour!"
"Oh. I'm sorry." See JJ was working hard on getting all of her classes in so she could get out of a few classes next semester so she could get into grad school, and the work and the stress was killing her. "JJ, are you sure this is worth it? It's killing you, you never have anytime to spend with me anymore and your studing constantly. It's only two classes and it's only going to get worse."
"Yes, I have to do this if I want to get into grad school. You know how much I want to do this."
"I know, but its killing you, why don't you just drop Bailey's class and take the classes next semester?"
"Cause Im already half way done with it and I dont want to leave now."
"Ok, I just hate to see you working so hard." I sighed and decided that I'd call Nick. I picked up the phone and dialed his number and it rang 3 times. "Hello"
"Hey sweetie," I said.
"Hey, your up early."
"Yeah, I couldn't sleep so I decided to get up and call you. I needed to hear your voice."
"Oh ok, well I'm glad you called. Even if I was asleep. I wanted to tell you that I talked to AJ and he said he'd be more than happy to meet JJ. So, we can make it a double date tonight."
"Ok, that's great. Im sure she'll be happy. She's been studing and working all day so she needs a break."
"Yeah, from what you've told me I'm gonna force her to come tonight. So, do you wanna come over now? I can't wait to see you."
"Yeah,lemme get dressed then I'll be right over."
"Ok,I'll see you then. Love ya."
"Love you too."
I Hung up the phone and smiled. "JJ, your coming out with Nick and Me tonight, we have a date for you." I said getting dressed. "I can't. I have alot to do," She said.
"JJ, your coming weither you like it or not."
"Beth, I can't. I have to study."
"Fine, but I know AJ's going to be dissapointed." I said grabbing my keys. At that JJ suddenly came to life. "AJ! THE AJ!!! You mean he...and me...we're..."
"Yes, but you already said you didnt want to go. So, when I get to Nick's I'll tell him you said you couldnt."
"But...But...But...I guess I could go...I mean we wouldnt want AJ to be upset." She said half reluctantly.
"Ok, if your sure I'll let Nick know. Well, he's waiting so I'd better go. I'll be back around 6 so we can get ready." JJ made a noise as I left. I smiled to myself as I climed into my car and headed to Nick's.
When I got there he was waiting for me on his front porch. "Hey beautiful," he said kissing me. "Hey to you too," I said as we walked into his house. "So, what are we going to do?"
"I don't know, did JJ say she'd go tonight?"
"Of course but only after I told her she was going with AJ." Nick laughed. "Really?"
"Yeah, I told her he'd be upset if she wasnt there and she agreed to go."
"Well, I'm glad. So, what do we want to do?"
