Chapter 2
Later that Night
'Geez, what do I wear?" Bridget
thought to herself. She didn't know why she was so nervous. Her best friend
invited her out to dinner with him and his friend. Ok, so his friends were
different from most people but they never were to her. Just four normal guys and
her best friend -- 'yeah, keep telling yourself. Just then, the phone
rang.
"Hello?" she answered.
"Hey Bridge!" shrieked Taylor "watcha
doin'?"
Bridget had called taylor that morning to tell her about Josh. Taylor
had been in Paris with her that summer when Josh entered into her life.
"I
got your message," Taylor said "I can't believe it!"
Bridget smiled. "I
know!" Bridget yelled "But he was here all day."
"Oh my God!" Taylor yelled
back. "Have you seen the other guys yet?"
"Actually, I'm going out to dinner
with them in about a half hour." Bridget answered.
"Wow, Bridge! I don't
know what to say, I'm actually speechless." Taylor said.
"This whole weekend
has been a blur." Bridget said "I mean, last night when he showed up at the
party I didn't know whether to run to him or to the nearest exit."
"Well,
aren't you glad you didn't leave?!" Taylor asked.
"Of course" Bridget said
"you know how I feel about him."
"Yeah, yeah -- I know" Taylor sighed. "So,
how'd you get to actually talk to him?"
"Well, actually, Carson came up to
me and told me that I just HAD to meet this guy. Anyway, I turned around and
there was Josh."
"That had to have been wierd" Taylor said.
"Of course
it was! I mean, I hadn't seen him in two years!" Bridget said.
"So weren't
the rest of the guys there?" Taylor asked.
"No, only Josh was there, but
I'll see them soon." Bridget said.
"I know you gotta go, but how did he just
show up today?" Taylor asked.
"We didn't get to talk long at the party. I'm
really not sure how he found out where I lived, but I opened my door this
morning and there he was. Of course, in the midst of this excitement I feel in
love with him all over again" Bridget sighed.
"I saw that one coming" Taylor
said "Not that I blame you, I just don't want you to get hurt again."
"I
know, and I appreciate that. Don't worry about me. First I'd have to get passed
the millions of fans that love him too" Bridget laughed.
"Ah...Bridge.."
Taylor said "You know he loves you more than any of them."
"Maybe. But in a
digustingly platonic sort of way" Bridget laughed again.
"Well, I better let
you go so you can finish getting ready" Taylor said.
"Yeah -- can I call you
later?" Bridget asked.
"You better! I wanna know how things go" Taylor said.
"OK, I will --" Bridget assured her.
"Hey Bridget, one more thing --"
Taylor said
"What?" Bridget asked
"Tell him how you fell. Don't let him
get away this time."
