Chapter 8
Nick slept soundly that night, and Brian
didn’t interfere with his dreams this time, no Casey took his place instead.
Nick rang Casey’s doorbell nervously, but why
he did not know, it wasn’t as if he hadn’t had dates with people before, most
of them were famous, so he didn’t know what made this one different, but it
was.
“Hey,” Casey had swung the door open only 5
seconds after he rang.
“Hey,” she replied. “So do you have anything in mind that you’d
like to go see?”
“Umm, not really. You?”
“I wanna go see “A Nightmare On Elm
Street”. How does that sound? You like scary movies right?”
“Sure.
I like scary movies, I hadn’t thought about going to see that one, but
I’ve wanted to for awhile.”
The night with Casey had turned out to be
wonderful, Casey had ended up in Nicks arms more than once, and Nick didn’t
think that that was just coincidence either.
“How’d it go Nick?”
Nick knew Brian’s voice all to well, but he
decided to dismiss it for the time being.
Nick looked at Casey, finally he hugged her goodbye at her door step,
not taking the time to say goodbye differently, Brian was annoying him.
When Nick was finally to his car, he asked
Brian “What?, Jeez Bri, you sure know
how to annoy somebody at the wrong time!”
Brian just laughed, “Sorry I decided not to
follow ya’ll to the movies, figured you could use some privacy and I’ve been
dieing to know what happened.”
Another thing that didn’t change about Brian
was his urge to be nosy.
“It was fine, we watched “A nightmare on elm
street”, Casey ended up in my arms on more than one occasion! I had a good time, for the first time in a
long time.”
“Awesome! That’s great buddy!” Brian had always been know to sound overly
chipper.
“Well were not serious yet, and with my
history in the dating department, I’ve probably just picked up another user.”
“Well jeez Nick, if your so sure she’s really
that way, then don’t be surprised if you find out she is.”
“Sorry Bri.
Let’s drop this conversation.”
“Fine.” Brian started going through Nicks
glove compartment, and then picked up Nicks CD holder, and started looking
through them.
“What’cha doin?”
“What’s it look like Doofus? Finding a CD!”
“Oh.”
Nick shrugged at him.
Brian picked up one of Nicks “Journey” CD’s
and popped it in, and together they sang loudly the whole way home.
