“Good thinkin’. Honestly, I’ve been meaning to bring this up to you but didn’t know when a good time would be.”
“What’s on your mind?”
“I’ve a sinking feeling we haven’t seen the last of Taylor or Jesse. I know you said that we should wait and see if anything comes about but I’m just not comfortable waiting for something bad to happen. I’d rather take the offensive.”
I sighed.
“Jules, Jules, Jules. After all the heat that’s been put on those two we’re not going to hear a peep from them. I’m certain of it.”
“I don’t know Elliott. Anyone who would go so far as to break into another’s home is seriously deranged and I don’t think a little thing like a pep talk from the Principal or the local sheriff is going to derail them.”
She shuddered as if she was cold. I brought the flannel blanket up to her waist for her.
“I’m not cold,” she said, “I’m scared.”
“Oh Jules, now, you see this is why I should have just knocked Jesse out at school the next day. That would have taught him.”
“No!” She said too loudly then brought her voice back down to a whisper, “that would have made it worse. That kind of stuff just adds fuel to their already blazing fire.”
“Well, what do you want to do about it?” I asked.
“Well, we could approach them,” she suggested.
“No, that would be inconceivable!” I joked.
“You keep using that word. I don’t think it means what you think it means,” she said along with the film.
I paused and tried not to smile.
“You’re so cute,” I said.
“So are you,” she said and went in for a kiss.
I pulled back.
“Uh, uh, uhh, your dad’s right there Jules!”
“Oh yeah. I forget sometimes. You’re so distracting. You don’t realize what I go through,” she admitted.
“I don’t realize?” I almost shouted.
“Okay, okay. Shhh. Back to the subject,” she breathed.
“We can approach them but it would have to be at lunch on an A day and we don’t have an A day until the Thursday we come back because we’re off Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday is a B day.”
“If an A day is before a B day and Wednesday is a B day and since we’re off Monday and Tuesday we’d have to wait until Thursday?!” She asked mockingly.
“Shut up!” I laughed. “You’re the one who wanted to talk about this.”
We both laughed loudly but it was at a part of the film that was conveniently funny for all and we recovered nicely.
“Nice,” I said and we silently high-fived.
“Alright Elliott, so we’ll approach them Thursday, but what should we say?” She asked.
“Well, I think we should just tell them that they don’t scare us and they don’t have a chance in hell in breaking us up, so give it up.”
“Add a ‘get your own life’ in there too!”
