Love in a Movie Theater

Chapter 24

The next afternoon Julie and Brian went out for some ice cream. They sat down on a bench outside and Julie decided to talk to Brian.

"Brian, is everything ok?" she asked.

"Everything is fine, why do you ask?"

"Because ever since the night of the party you've been acting kinda strange, like not how you usually act with me. I thought maybe you were upset with me or something." Julie said, looking down at the grass growing up through the crack of the cement.

Brian sighed. "No, you haven't done anything. I know I haven't been normal, I'm sorry. I was just letting myself get carried away with something, but I realize now I'm wrong." he said, kissing her forehead.

"I'm so glad. I didn't want to fight or anything."

They finished their ice cream and headed back to Jule's place. They were sitting on the couch watching tv when Kate called and invited them to go clubbing with her and AJ that night.

"I don't know, hold on and let me ask Bri." Julie said. "Brian, you want to go clubbing with Kate and AJ tonight?"

"Sure. Sounds good to me." he said.

"Ok, he said he'll go. What time and where are we going?"

"AJ doesn't know yet. How about we meet at your place around 8:00?"

"Yeah, that sounds fine to me. I'll see you later."

When Kate and AJ got there, Julie wasn't quite finished getting ready. Kate joined her in the bedroom while AJ sat down with Brian in the living room.

"That's a great dress Jules. Where did you get it?" Julie was wearing the dress AJ had bought her when they went shopping at the mall.

"Oh..umm....I got it awhile ago at the mall." she answered. Kate still didn't know she and AJ had done to the mall together because AJ had to break his date with her to go and Julie was afraid Kate would get the wrong idea if she knew.

When Julie was finally ready, they joined Brian and AJ in the living room.

"Where're we going guys?" Kate asked.

"AJ says there's a cool new place open called The Hot Spot so we thought we'd check it out." Brian answered.

"Well then let's go!"

They were all sitting at a table in the club having a drink when Brian spoke.

"Julie, that's a nice dress. Is that the one AJ bought you when you guys went shopping yesterday afternoon?"

Silence filled the table and AJ and Julie watched Kate's face to read her reaction.

"You and AJ went shopping yesterday?" she asked, still confused.

"Well....yeah."

Kate turned to AJ. "And you stood me up for our date yesterday afternoon so you could go shopping?"

"Well, Julie and I had these plans made before and I forgot about them when you invited me out but I promised Julie first."

"But you could have told me instead of lying to me and calling me at the last minute with some lame excuse about a business meeting!"

"That is kinda low guys." Brian said, giving Julie and AJ a disgusted look.

"Look, Kate. We didn't want to upset you or give you the wrong idea. I told AJ he could forget our shopping plans but he insisted." Julie tried to explain but she wasn't helping.

"Don't blame this all on AJ. It wouldn't surprise me if you made him do that just so you could be with him."

"That's ridiculous!" Julie protested.

"No it's not. You told me at our sleepover that you thought he was incredibly sexy and you wondered what he'd be like in bed!" Kate shot back.

Brian and AJ nearly chocked on their drinks.

"Yeah, but that was just talk. I'm with Brian, remember? I would never do that to you!"

"Whatever." Kate said, and stalked away from the table.

"I'm sorry guys." Julie said. She met AJ's eyes and blushed because he had heard what she'd said about him. AJ got up from the table and went to find Kate leaving Julie and Brian.

"I'm sorry Brian. I didn't think she'd get this upset."

"You two lied to her. What did you think, she'd be happy?" he said, getting up and walking outside.

"Brian! Where are you going? Why are you mad at me?" Julie said following him.

"I don't want to explain it to you. Let me have some time to myself first and if you still haven't figured it out, maybe I'll clue you in later!" he said and walked out of the club.

Juile stood in the middle of the dance floor with her mouth hanging open. She really had no idea what his problem was, but she'd obviously done something. AJ saw what had happened and he walked over to her.

"Come on, I'll drive you home." he said.

"We can't leave Brian and Kate!" she said.

"They already left us. I just saw them getting into a cab together."
