“Liked it, did you?”
“Didn’t you catch the main feeling?”
“Yeah, but that’s not the one I’m most interested in.”
“You’re incorrigible,” she laughed.
“Well, I’m gonna’ head out,” Jesse said suddenly.
“Not staying for pie?” My mom asked.
“Nah, I’ve got a friend I’d told I’d meet and I don’t want to keep them waiting.”
“Okay, if you have to, son. It was good to see you. Don’t be such a stranger!”
He nodded then turned to Jules.
“Julia, it was fun. We should do it again sometime.”
“Of course,” she said, tossing her head toward me, “but next time I think we should bring a certain someone with us.”
“Oh, I couldn’t possibly. I’m too old to tag along with y’all,” my mom chimed in.
I drove Jules home that night and could no longer postpone my curiosity. She knew I wanted to know how the ‘date’ went but she also knew I didn’t want to ask about it first, my pride in the way. I wanted her to volunteer the information but she refused my game. Eventually I caved. What can I say? I’m a weak man, a weak, jealous, hopelessly in love, Neanderthal apparently.
“Just tell me already!”
“Tell you what Elliott?”
“Don’t play coy with me Julia Jacobs! My patience are at an all time thin.”
“Man, I’ve never seen you so jealous before Elliott. Green is a good color on you.”
I shot her a look of disbelief.
“I’m serious,” she said. “It gives a girl encouragement to see her man squirm at the end of her hook. It makes quite the impact.”
“Stop toying with me!”
“Okay, okay.” She laughed. “He was the perfect gentleman and we had a surprisingly good time.”
“How good?”
“My God Elliott! We saw a film, we talked about you, and then he took me to your house! It wasn’t quite the debauchery you were expecting. Which I resent by the way! What kind of girl do you take me for!”
I grabbed her hand.
“I’m just a big fool Jules.”
That was enough of an apology, I guess, because she just smiled at me.
“He is an incredible kisser though,” she teased.
“Jules!”
“I’m only joking! Jeez, lighten up! Will ya’?”
I kissed her hand, deciding I didn’t need to kill Jesse after all.
