| Part 14 (First day.) |
 |
| "Well, good morning," Claudine said as I walk downstairs. "Yeah good morning, is Jonathan up yet?" "No, but he should be getting up, if you want you can go get him up." "Okay." Him asleep, yeah I want to be the one to wake him up. I walked back up the stairs and in the direction of Jonathan's room. "Jonathan are you up?" I said as I opened his door a little. "Knock, knock." "Yeah I'm up," Jonathan saidin a low voice. "Your mom wanted me to get you up. Guess you're up." I turned to walk back downstairs. "Hey Jessica, did you want to go hang out with Steven and them today at the mall?" "Sure." I wanted to ask if Nikki was going to be there. "Yes," he stated. "Yes what?" I asked confused. "Nikki is going to be with them," he mumbled "Oh that, whatever," I said shutting the door behind me. A few minutes later, Jonathan walks down the stairs to the kitchen. "Mom, Jessica and me are going to the mall with a few people today okay," Jonathan said sitting down and eating breakfast. "Okay, but did you ask her what she wanted to do?" Claudine looked over at me. "He knows this area better then me," I replied. "Plus, she needs some clothes. Not that what you have its bad or anything its just..." "No it's okay. I know I hate them, too." I laughed. "Rachael suggested getting you some new clothes," Jonathan tried to supporting what he meant to say in the first place. "Okay." After we ate, "Do you want to walk Mac around before be go?" Jonathan grabbed Mac's collar. "Yeah, in a minute I just have to get my shoes" I ran back upstairs and grab my shoes. I go to get my shoes and when I am coming back down the stairs, I hear Jonathan and his Mom talking. "I know she isn't like Nikki and them, but don't hurt her feelings, she isn't use to this type of stuff." "What stuff?" Jonathan asked. "Being in an older group and well, she doesn't live here. Things are different where she lives." Claudine was right. "I am sure they have a mall in Louisville," Jonathan pointed out. "Yeah but are you planning on letting her have a dream day at the mall or is it just 2 or 3 shirts and this and that?" "Weill let's wait and see. I know she needs clothes. She even hates what she has." Jonathan makes another great point even quoting me with what I told him about my clothes. "Well have fun, and remember she is only here for 4 more days." "Are you saying you don't like her here," Jonathan asked. I hope it's a no. "She is nice and I don't care if she is here." I am glad to hear that. "Okay." "Are we walking Mac or what?" I said walking down the stairs, before Claudine walks up. "Yeah," he said as we walk to the first door. As we are walking down the street, "One question okay?" I wanted to get him prepared before I ask it. "Uhh, okay what?" Okay, he is ready. "Okay, when you invited me here, you didn't know me that well, does that just not add up or what?" "Well, I can't see you in Louisville and if we can't just not talk or see each other anymore, because I think about you all the time." He made sense. "True, but you are paying for everything to just hang out with me for 5 days." "Yeah." He smiled, "that a problem?" "No, not at all." Later that day we meet his friends at the mall, even Nikki. "Okay why don't we spilt up and meet in about 2 hours?" Steven suggested. "I think I will go with the girls," Jonathan said, walking next to me. Steven and some guy walks the other way. "I am going next door and looking at CDs," Nikki said as soon as we walk in a store and start looking at clothes. "Whatever," Jonathan said. "Aren't you coming with me?" Nikki said smiling at Jonathan. "Yeah okay, here," Jonathan handed Rachael money. "She is a little..." Okaywhat would I call her. "Spooled, rude, mean, and a lot more, but it would take hours," Rachael laughed. "You sound like you don't like her?" I laughed too, picking up a pair of jeans. "She isn't that bad if you don't have a crush on Jonathan." She looked right in my eyes. "What? I don't get it." "You aren't going to like her even if she was God because you like Jonathan," she explained. "I don't have a crush on Jonathan so I can see it. She isn't that bad." "Maybe I don't have a..." I try to say, but she cuts me off. "Yeah you do!" she laughed, handing me some shirts. "Yeah I do, but that's only half of why I don't like Nikki," I pointed out, trying not to look so mean. "More like 99 % of the reason you don't like her," she said as we walk to the dressing room. "Try those on." As I am trying the clothes on, I think about what she said. I guess that is why I don't like Nikki, but she treated him like a dog. "Aren't you coming?" That's like a dog. I mean, if he wanted to go he would have went without her telling him to. "Okay, these next." Rachael asked. "Yeah." I can't wait to wear those cute jeans. "Do you want to go change now into some new clothes?" Rachael asked as we walk past the bathroom "Yeah!" "Alright." I walked into the bathroom and change. "I am just wondering have you ever had a make over?" "No." "Really?" she looked confused. "I don't wear make up," I explained. "You don't want to or you just don't?" "Just don't." "Want to get a make over?" She pointed to a store with a sign. "Uh, yeah I guess." I think it's a great idea. After that we walked around looking for Jonathan and them. We walked into the food court, Nikki and Jonathan were in the back ordering food. "Hey, are you guys ready to get something to eat?" Jonathan asked. "Do we look like guys?" Rachael smiled at me. "No, I'm sorry ladies," Jonathan said stareingat me. "Not anymore." "So are we ordering?" Nikki asked. "Yeah, what do you all want?" Jonathan looked at me and Rachael. "Just a fry and Coke," Rachael said. "Me too," I said as we sit down. We all left the mall at the same time. Jonathan just had to kiss Nikki in front of me. "Thanks Rachael," I said as soon as Jonathan kisses Nikki. "Anytime," she said. I wish I could tell her that today was fun. It was just me and Jonathan in the car. "Did you have fun today?" "Yeah, I got more clothes today then I think I ever have before." "Well, tomorrow I am going to be working a few hours," he said looking over at me. "Oh, I can just hang out at your house," I said. "Okay, but I thought you would want to go with me." "What is work?" I asked. "I know you have seen Home Improvement," he said looking at me. "Or I can go with you. Whatever you want?" I laughed. |
