�Figuring It Out� Chapter 2: A Little Fruity

�I um, had a um, good time um, tonight,� Jenna imitated Jacob. �Boy, you shouldn�t have had that last drink.�

�Could you all please stop shouting?� Jacob whispered.

�What? You mean like this?� Trevor screamed in his ear.

Jacob covered his ears causing himself to lose his balance. He fell to the floor, the latest victim of a hangover. �Please, stop�� he said.

�Come on guys, I don�t want to see Jacob puke all over the house,� I said helping him up.

�Yeah, that would be gross,� Trevor said running to his other side and propping Jacob against his side.

We helped Jacob into the house and into his room. He had had a few too many drinks while talking to Jessica. She had run off in the middle of his third and hadn�t returned since. Jacob had said goodbye to a plant outside of the bathroom.

Once we were sure Jacob was safely in bed, the rest of us resumed our party in the kitchen. Trevor and Ashley were bashing on each other for no apparent reason. Jenna was watching them in awe. I went to the fridge to find something to eat.

�No dude, a tomato is a vegetable,� Ashley said to Trevor only semi- serious.

�I�m telling you, it�s a fruit! Just like you!� Trevor retorted.

�Oh no, you did not just call me a fruit!� Ashley spun around laughing.

�What are you going to do about it, pretty boy?� Trevor said.

�Fro boy,� Ashley shouted back smiling.

�Blondie,� Trevor continued their fight.

�You�re just jealous,� Ashley laughed.

Trevor raised an eyebrow. �Jealous of you? Thinking no,� Trevor stalked out of the kitchen over exaggerating his pout.

�Bitter much?� Ashley called after him. Trevor didn�t answer.

�That was some great entertainment,� Jenna said to Ashley.

�Yeah, I hope he knows I was just joking,� Ashley replied.

Just as Ashley finished, Trevor came running into the kitchen butt naked. We all stared in shock.

�Now we know that he was just kidding,� I said trying not to laugh.

�Is it cold in here or is it just me?� Trevor asked with a straight face.

Jenna was laughing so hard, she was shaking. Ashley�s mouth still hung open. I couldn�t look at Trevor.

�Anybody feel a draft?� Trevor asked opening the fridge.

�Trev, you perv! Get out of here!� Jenna giggled.

�What?� Trevor asked innocently. �Am I disturbing the peace?�

�Yes!� Ashley, Jenna, and I shouted.

�Okay, I get the hint. You don�t love me,� Trevor left laughing.

�Okay I think we should go to bed before anything else happens,� I suggested.

�I agree,� Jenna said following me to our room. Ashley went down the hall to his room.

�I love life,� Jenna said as she bounced onto the bed.

�And I love you,� I replied jumping on top of her.

She laughed. �I love you too.�

I kissed her lips. She sighed. �I love you more than you know,� she said with a sparkle in her eye.
