After holding his laughter in for awhile, Jack finally let it all out. "She thought you were joking? Wow dude, you really are smooth when it comes to girls." Despite his amusement, he could actually sympathize with Brody. He struggled big time when he started pursuing Miki, once even managing to give her the impression that he was gay. Luckily for him, she didn't believe it for very long. "Seriously though, good luck."

Brody grinned sheepishly. "Well, I can see why she thought it might have been. When we were younger I wasn't very nice to her. You know...girl germs and all that. Plus I think every time I've hung out with anyone connected to her I've always had a girlfriend so she just assumed. But get this, she thought I was engaged. Can you believe it? Me, an almost married guy? As if." He snorted in disgust, wonderign if he'd ever feel the need to really settle down. Sure, long term girlfriend he could do but complete commitment?

"Girl germs?" Jack asked, rubbing his chin. Having gotten together with his first girlfriend when he was still in elementary school, he wasn't very familiar with that concept. "So she almost turned you down because of something that you did to her like a million years ago? Whoa, man, you're really batting a thousand with this chick, huh?" He laughed and shook his head.
As an almost married guy himself, he didn't exactly find the concept of being engaged as repulsive, but he still had a hard time picturing Brody as somebody's fiancée. "Well, it's not a completely random idea. I mean, tons of people get hitched all the time because they have a bun in the oven. I know several people back in Mabtown that did it. Hell, my mom even got married the first time because she was pregnant with me."

Brody pulled a face and shook his head. "No way man. I'm not saddling myself with some girl just cause she's having my kid. How do you know it's going to last? Just because there's a child doesn't mean it's the best thing for everyone. Especially the kid. I'd rather have parents on speaking terms that aren't together, than married ones who never say a word to each other except to fight."
He looked down as his phone buzzed once more and grinned. "Not that I don't like you, and haven't missed you dude, but I'm gonna have to kick you out so I can get ready for dinner."

Jack nodded. "Well put man, well put," he said, clapping his hands together. "My mom's first husband split right after Alexia was born. Kylie and I were real little when it happened, but we still had to deal with him and his wife until we were in junior high, which wasn't fun at all. And now we're dealing with yet another divorce and another stepmother....its a vicious cycle.... I swear, divorce must run in my family or something." And I'm going to do everything I can to break that cycle....
He gave Brody a teasing grin. "Dude, I'm wounded, seriously. I mean, what's this chick got that I don't?" He laughed and playfully punched him on the shoulder. "Just kidding, have a good time."

Every smart arse answer that Brody had to Jack's question would end up with him in big trouble, so he pressed his lips together and just shrugged. "I mean to. I'm gonna take her to Coble tonight, I hope she likes it. I should have told her I'd pick her up but I told her to meet me there. I think it's better this way."
Cause otherwise I may as well just go upstairs and ask her in person, and take her from here. Which means I may as well have told you who the girl is.

Kylie nervously knocked on the door, hoping that Jack was standing right next to the door instead of Brody. She didn't want him to see her looking like this, wearing a short jean skirt and a purple baby doll top that she had already worn twice in the previous week. Come on Jack, hurry up so I can totally skedaddle before Brody sees me....
Jack smiled, his eyebrows raised in admiration. "Whoa, dude, fancy schmancy! Don't you have to wear a tie there or something?" Before he had the chance to tease Brody about the possibility, he heard a knock at the door, interrupting his thoughts. "Well, I guess that's my cue to leave. That's probably Miki. She said she'd let me know when to come back upstairs. I guess Kylie must have bored her to death with her crying."

Brody frowned and looked at door. Sighing, he got up from the bed and climbed the stairs. Opening it for the second time, he stared flabergasted as Kylie stood before him.
His hand flew automatically to his hair and he ran his fingers through quickly. "Uh...hi there. Um, J-Jack, Kylie's here. Not Miki. It's Kylie"
Cursing himself for sounding so stupid, he thundered back down the stairs without looking back at her, and sat on the floor with his back leaning against the bed. "Good to see you Kylie..."

Kylie's face flushed bright red as Brody ran back down the stairs. Oh my god, he must think I look absolutely hideous! Now he's going to totally bail on me tonight..... She should have told Miki to go get Jack herself. "Ummmm Miki says you can come up now...."
The second the words were out of Kylie's mouth, Jack waved goodbye to Brody and bolted upstairs, ignoring the confused expression on his sister's face. Finally! We get to make up for lost time....
Kylie remained on the steps, her feet completely frozen. "I-it's really nice to see you too," she said. "I should go home now. It's getting majorly late and I don't want to walk when it's like super dark outside." After the way he reacted, she knew their sort of date was off. It was best if she just left now before she became an emotional wreck, giving him another reason to make fun of her. If only she could get her feet to move.....

As soon as Jack had left the room, Brody's face relaxed into a giant grin. Pushing himself up from the floor, he laughed as she made her excuses to leave. When he reached her, he wrapped his arms around her. "Ok. Well, you need to go home to get ready anyway. It's all booked so you can't back out." Kissing her cheek, he literally bounced on his feet, unable to contain his excitement. "I can't wait. It's going to be perfect."

Her face still bright red, Kylie looked up at Brody in confusion. He thinks I'm going to back out? Is he like majorly nuts or something? He was the one that was supposed to be backing out, not her. Yet, for some reason, he seemed to be just as excited as she was. Feeling a little confident, she smiled back at him. "I-I guess I'll see you tonight. I c-can't wait either." She headed back up the steps up the stairs and blew a kiss at him. "Bye." Oh my god, that was so totally lame....

Brody walked around his room, tossing his phone between his hands. He knew he'd been unfair to Kylie over the last few weeks, and even to him his excuse seemed flimsy at best. Sighing, he put it in his pocket and looked around. He frowned at the messy state of his room, and went into overdrive, making his bed with fresh sheets, tidying up his dirty clothes and tossing it all in the laundry. He knew he didn't have time to vacuum or do anything else, but at least it looked cleaner.
Sitting on his bed, he pulled his phone back out, glancing at the screen. "Hope she comes. Hope she's not mad at me.." He smacked his forehead with his palm. It's official.I've cracked under the pressure. I'm insane, and talking to myself.

About an hour after receiving Brody's text, Kylie excitedly pulled up to his house in her brand new car. She would have been there much sooner if it weren't for the fact that she had felt the need to try on three different outfits before coming over. Most people would have thought that it was a bit too much for just hanging out with someone, but she didn't. It had been forever since she'd seen Brody and given the current situation, she wasn't sure when she'd get the chance to see him again.
Practically jumping out of the car, she walked to the front door and rang the doorbell, her heels clicking nervously on the front step as she did so. Please still like me....please still like me, she silently pleaded as she waited for him to answer the door.

Brody looked up at his ceiling when he heard the knock, and took a deep breath. Here goes. I really hope she doesn't kill me. Hope she doesn't tell Jack to kill me. Grimacing to himself, he took the stairs three at a time and raced up the corridor. Flinging the door open, he grinned. Her expression was far from hostile. "Kylie! Wow, that was quick. Um, come in. Did you wanna go to my room, or sit in the loungeroom?"He trailed off, trying to kerb his excitement.
Bouncing on his heels, he smoothed his fair hair away from his face, trying hard not to stare at her in an uncomfortable manner. "Or, did you wanna go get something to eat? We could go to Palmers?"

Kylie grinned and walked through the door, relieved that Brody actually looked happy to see her. Given the amount of time that had passed since they'd last seen one another, she wasn't sure how he felt about her or if he'd felt anything for her at all. "I already ate, so I guess we could like hang here or whatever. Unless you're like really hungry, which would be totally fine and then we could like still go out and I could just watch you eat or something...."
She turned bright red at her sudden babbling. Geez, the first time you've seen him in like forever and this is how you act? No wonder he hangs out with Liesl more...... "So how have you been?" she asked, smiling to combat her nervousness.
