My Only Regret: Chapter 4
This could not be happening. I thought walking into Cindy's house. The nicest, coolest, hottest boy ever to even talk to me, I blow off. I'm so stupid. I was rummaging through Cindy's fridge, when I heard the back door open and saw Dan walk in.
Hey Quinn, can you get me a soda? he said.
I said, What type? They have coke, pepsi, sprite and orange.
I guess I'll go with pepsi. he said and then he began singing, Come feel the joy all around each generation has found..lalala!
Here Dan, I said handing him the pepsi, That was lovely! Britney Spears would be proud!
I know, she would be. And then she would want to date me since I'm so sexy. he replied.
Yea...having one blue eye and one green eye. That is what all the ladies go for. I joked.
Excuse, do not make fun of my birth defect. I had no control over having two different color eyes. He said and pouted. Anyways, I heard you gave Jake the old heave ho!
Huh? What are talking about? Oh no, my cover has been blown. I thought I could avoid everyone with their questions! Why did Dan have to say that!
He likes you a lot! And we all figured since you guys had been gone so long, you'd be making out. But he said something about your morals and how kissing should mean something and not knowing him long enough. I personally didn't understand it.
In my head I was screaming. AHHHHH! This is not good. I didn't want everyone to think I was or something. Although there is nothing wrong with that anyway.
Oh.... Yeah. I just don't really know him. I mean three hours isn't long enough before lip locking with a guy. Even though he is incredibly hot! I said.
Yeah. I'm a guy. I say, Hi' to a girl and hope she'll do me. What can I say? Dan laughed. One thing I'd begun to notice. Dan was funny and nice. Totally a guy who you could date or your friends could date and you'd have no problem with. I didn't understand how he could be Jeff's brother. Jeff is such a total dickhead.
Awww, I see. So where is everyone else? I asked.
Oh, Cindy, BriAnna, Nicole, Sarah, Jeff and you're sex kitten Jake... I gave him a look, one of those if you say that again I may have to shoot you. Hey, no death glares! I was kidding! Anyways, they are sitting on the towels. I think going to get ice cream in a few minutes. I'll probably go with them. Even though Tony is kind of upset I've left them to be with you guys. But I'm a ladies man, I go where the girls go.
Ha, oh you're a girl...either way! I joked. He gave me this hurt puppy dog face. Oh stop that. You know I'm kidding! I hugged him! He hugged me back, and then picked me up and began walking outside. HEY...DAN...DANIEL.... WHAT? DO I LOOK LIKE SOMEONE WHO LIKES BEING PICKED UP? I was screaming as he opened the door and started walking towards the towels with everyone sitting down.
As a matter of fact, he said, putting me down right next to Jake. You do! He started laughing and I started laughing. Everyone was just looking at us, they seemed rather confused.
Ummm... Dan and I were talking, he was explaining men to me, I think. Actually, he was singing Britney Spears too. Actually, I'm not really sure what was going on. I said trying to regain my breath.
Right Quinn, said Jeff, So, I'm hungry, want to go get food?
Sure! I'm starving, completely famished Jeffie! Let's go! said Nicole! Why was she always so happy and fake? BLAH! I hate people like that.
Everyone started walking off, I just kind of sat there. I wasn't originally planning on going. I figured I could stay on the beach and then Tony and his little would still be there, so I could just sit and get a last minute before school tan.
Hey, are you coming? I heard someone say. I looked up and saw Jake.
Oh, I guess so. I knew I didn't want to but I might as well. This way Nicole can't sink her teeth into him.
We went to Hodge Lodge Ice Cream. I decided since the same people were still working, I'd only get a small chocolate ice cream. We all sat down in one the booths and ate well talking about school and various things. Then we just walked the town and went into random shops with the guys making fun of things. It was fun but I knew that it was getting late and BriAnna was going to have to call her mom soon. When we got back to Cindy's house, her parents had gotten back from where ever they had gone. They made us all hot dogs, hamburgers and chicken. For me, they made a special Boca Burger.
Thanks Mr. Newton! I said and sat down next to Cindy across from Jake.
Quinn, are you eating meat? How could you! Think of all the poor little baby cows! teased Nicole as she walked by mocking me.
Actually, Nicole it's a Boca Burger. Don't worry unlike you, if I say something I stick to it! I'm not a wishy washy person! I replied and bite into the Boca Burger. truthfully, I don't even like eating them. But, since Cindy's family was nice enough to make it for me, I felt obligated to.
You're a vegetarian? Jake asked, he looked surprised.
Yep! I have been since 5th grade. And unlike what Nicole said, it's not just because of the animals. Meat actually is not that healthy for you. Although, I do love animals so they have some part in my decision. I said.
Oh Quinn, you are just too nice sometimes! gushed Cindy, Jake, do you know that Quinn organized a food drive for homeless shelters? Actually, she does that every year around Thanksgiving into Christmas time. I knew she thought she was helping, but I wish Cindy would just be quiet. I may have a few good deeds but I do them because I like to and I don't ever use it as a bragging tool.
Wow, that's really cool Quinn. Jake said.
Oh, yeah thanks Jake. I replied.
After eating, BriAnna called her mom to come pick us up. Her mom was going to bring my bag so that she could drop me off at home. We were all standing on the beach, just waiting and Dan grabbed my arm and pulled me aside, Hey, I know you don't to makeout with him or whatever, due to your views or something. But atleast hug him, I mean you hug everyone. Oh, and don't worry. I'll make sure Jeff gives him your phone number and you get Jake's as well. I looked up at Dan. I could see that even though I had never known him that well, I could see why BriAnna would have liked him, even if I thought it was just a school girl crush.
Thanks Dan, you are being so nice. Just thanks! I said and walked over to Jake.
Hey Jake! I said.
Hi, um about your phone num... He started to say.
Oh, yea don't worry about it. Jeff will give you mine, and he'll give me yours. I said.
He smiled, Oh ok, cool.
Then BriAnna's mom drove up, Oh that's my ride. I said looking up and then turning towards Jake. So, I guess I'll talk to you later. I hugged him and he hugged me back. It seemed like it was going to last forever, or maybe I just wanted it to. Just stay there, in his arms being happy from him hugging me. Aww...dreams of a hopeless romantic. But, like all good things the hug had to end and as it did I kissed his cheek and walked to the car, where I hopped in and was driven home. The ride was pretty quiet except for the sounds of Mrs.O'Connor's Cher cd and her singing. BriAnna kept looking at me. I knew she was trying to read me, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't working. I got out and thanked them before shutting the door. I took out my keys, opened the door and called out but no one was home. I saw a note on the table it read,
Quinn,
Your father and I took your brother for some last minute school shopping around 3pm. Should be back by 9 or so. Call my cell phone when you get in just to let me know you're home. Feed the dog and take him for a walk as well. If you haven't eaten, I left some money in the jar, just order a pizza. Thanks honey! Bye Bye, Love Mom
Aww, my mom can be really nice sometimes. I called her cell phone and let her know I was back and everything was going well. Then I feed Musket (our black lab) and took him for a walk, after that I took a shower and went to sleep.
