Chapter Eight


When Linds and Nick walked in to McDonalds they saw that Jessa and Brian were still in the booth, and they were kissing. "Ah hmm" Linds said, walking over to the two.

"Oh, hey Linds!" Jessa said cheerfully, while turning a tomato color.

"Having fun?" Nick smirked.

"Yes, very much," Brian smirked back.

"Come on, lets go, it's still early, maybe we can do somthing else," Jessa said, and grabbed Brian's hand and pulled him off the seat.

"Cool Idea!" Nick said "What should we do?" He asked

"What about a movie?" Linds asked

"Nah, we were just at the movie's the other day!" Jessa reminded Linds.

"Oh yeah," Linds said, her voice drifting off.

"You wanna go to the mall?" Brian asked.

"The mall sounds good!" Jessa and Linds said simultaneously

"Ok, to the mall we go!" Brian smiled.

About twenty minutes later the four people found themselves at the mall. Brian parked his jeep and they walked into the big mall. "So where to first?" Brian asked.

"Arcade?" Nick asked.

"No!" Linds screeched. "Not after what happened in the arcade next to Mcdonalds!"

Jessa laughed. "How bout 'Spencers'? Is that okay with everyone?"

"Sure," Nick and Linds said at the same time.

The four walked down the mall and passed several stores they wanted to go in, Jessa made a mental note to go into them later. The four spilt up. Jessa and brian went off together, and Linds and Nick went off together. Jessa and Brian decided to look at the black lights. Meanwhile, Nick and Linds were looking at tee shirts. After spencers the group just decided to walk around. As they were walking to a music store Brian looked over at Jessa and saw she had a sad look at her face. "Whats the matter Jess?" Brian asked her.

"Huh? Oh nothin," She answered and gave him a faint smile.

"You sure?" Brian asked again.

"Well, Linds told me somthing when we were in 'World Imports'. What she said kinda shocked me.

"What was that?" he asked.

"Well, she said that when her and Nick were in the arcade, Nick asked her to be his girlfriend,"

"What?! He did?" Brian asked shocked.

"Yeah, didn't Nick tell ya?"

"No!"

"Oh,"

"So why does that bother you?"

"I dunno, maybe it's cause she's moving alittle fast. Not that Nick isn't a good guy, I dunno, I am just so confused," She said truthfully.

"Oh," Brian said, getting the same look that Jessa had on, on his face.

"You ok Bri?" Jessa asked

"Well, after what you said, I guess I can't ask you what I was going to ask you," Brian said.

"What were you going to ask me?" Jessa asked

"Well, I was gonna ask you to be my girlfriend," Brian said shyly.

"You were?" Jessa asked shocked.

Brian nodded "But I guess, you don't wanna be," Brian said, and looked away.

"What makes you think that?" Jessa smiled.

"Cause you think Nick and Linds are moving to fast," He said.

"Thats Linds and Nick," She said and kissed him.

Brian pulled away after a minute. "So you wanna be my girlfriend?"

"No! I just kissed you for the fun of it! Of course I wanna be your girlfriend!" She smiled.

Brian smiled and kissed her.

"How come everytime we turn around you guys are kissing?" Linds said, coming up to them.

"Whats it to you?" Jessa laughed.

"Nothin, just asking," Linds giggled.

The four walked into the 'Sam Goody' and split up again. "Should I get the 'Boyz ll Men', Evalution', or 'Marcy Playground' I dunno which one I want more," Jessa asked Brian.

"Well, I have the 'Boyz ll Men' one, and I like it, but I couldn't tell ya bout the 'Marcy Playground' one," Brian answered her.

"Then I guess I'll get 'Boyz ll Men' I have two of their other CD's," Jessa said, putting the 'Marcy Playground' CD down.

"Come on, lets go join Nick and Linds over there, by the movies," Brian said, taking Jessa's Hand in his. They walked over to Nick and Linds.
