"Alright! Hang on A.J.!" Nick called back. He lowered his voice and spoke into the phone. "Jen, baby... I gotta go... The guys wanna go to the mall for some stuff for our house."
"Okay baby, I'll miss you," she told him sweetly.
"I love you..." Nick replied.
"NICK! HURRY UP!" A.J. called from downstairs again.
"ALRIGHT!" he replied. "Okay sweetie, I really gotta go."
"Bye!"
"Bye Jen," Nick said as he hung up the phone and bounded down the stairs. He caught up to A.J. who was walking out the door. A.J. locked up and Nick got into the van they shared, besides having their own cars.
"So what is this? A no girlfriends day trip?" Nick asked as he got in.
"Well, none of them were free," admitted Howie.
"EXCEPT for Jennifer," Brian added before Nick could object. "But we figured it was fair cause no one wanted to see you two all over each other," Brian added with a smile.
"Alex had to work," Kevin continued. "So did Melissa. Jamie was at a family thing and Orianne had plans with her girlfriends."
"Fine, fine... you guys win," Nick sighed, holding his hands up in defeat.
Alex, short for Alexandra, was Kevin's girlfriend. She was 19 and had straight dirty blonde hair. Her and Kevin knew there was a substantial age difference but they had fallen in love with each other after they met at a mutual friend's party.
That mutual friend had been Orianne, Brian's girlfriend. Orianne was also 19 and she had long black hair. Her and Brian had been going out for a year.
Jamie and A.J. had been an item since they could remember. They had been childhood friends since she was 8 and he was 12. Now at 18 and 23, they were inseparable.
Howie had just started going out with Melissa. She was 20 and had met each other at a club. He had first noticed her long brown hair with hints of red.
Jennifer, Nick's girlfriend, was 21 and had brown hair with red highlights. They had been together for a year and a half. They had their rough times but seemed to always work it out.
"So, where are we going anyway?" wondered Nick.
"The best place to get things for homes!" replied Kevin, who was driving.
"IKEA!" Nick cried like a little kid. (Author's note: For those who don't know what IKEA is you can check out their web site at www.ikea.com )

"Is Michele here yet?" Kaitlyn asked her friend Orianne.
"She better be soon! We've gotta hurry if we wanna go decorate your new place!" she replied.
Kaitlyn was 25 and had just moved out on her own. She got her two closest friends, Michele and Orianne, to help her get stuff for it. She knew that those two got along just fine, but Michele seemed to not get along with Orianne's boyfriend's best friend, Nick. That was probably why she never hung out with the guys.
"Maybe she got lost?" Orianne asked just as Michele pulled up in her car. Michele was 20 and naturally tall and thin. Kaitlyn always told her that she should become a model. Michele just laughed and figured she wasn't serious.
"Sorry I'm late!" apologized Michele.
"No problem," said Kaitlyn. "Let's take my car. It has a larger trunk space."
"Good idea... where'd you have in mind?" asked Orianne.
"Let's go to Ikea! I love that place!" replied Kaitlyn. "But we gotta hurry, it closes soon I think."
