Chapter 48: Double Date

“Who are we going with?” Hallie asked. She finally managed to get her shoes off and went to collapse on the couch.

“Don’t worry, I’ve got it all planned,” Jessica said.

It turned out Jessica had been carefully plotting a double date with the “teddy bear” and “news anchor,” two eligible guys she kept running into at the gym.

She invited each of them separately to “hang out with some friends” so they wouldn’t feel too much pressure.

“I just can’t decide which one of them I like better,” Jessica said, “so maybe if we get to know them in a date setting, we can finally get them sorted.”

“Oh, so I can get your reject?” Hallie pouted.

“It’s not like that!” Jessica exclaimed. “You can actually get first dibs if you want.”

“I thought you had dibs on both of them,” Hallie reminded her.

“I can change my dibs for my best friend.” Jessica smiled serenely, rolling up a strand of hair with one finger.
