"I still don't believe you talked them into taking us to the Mall." Darcy squealed grabbing Jessy's hand and leading her towards the entrance. "When will you learn." Jessy gasped dragging her feet. "Let's go before they change their mind. I know Zac will come if you're inside. He'll do anything to be with you." Darcy excliaimed, gasping, "Oh. Now I get it. Zac will go any where you are.. Duh." ""There's that and I just told him I need some new lingerie if I was going to be Miss Oklahoma." Jessy shared turning and waiting for the guys to catch up. "Oh yeah he loves to shop for that." Darcy squealed finally waiting for the guys, asking when they approached, "You going to buy me something silky and sexy?" "Sure baby. Zac told me all about it and it sounds like fun." Adam replied, "Wonder if Tay plays withy Natalie's panties?" Zac asked and they all chuckled. "Man he's probably wearing them now. She's definitely blossomed lately." Adam teased. "Huh?" Jessy squealed turning in Zac's arms to face Adam. "Don't tell me you hadn't noticed how she's grown since they married?" Darcy insisted. "I... I... Really?" Jessy asked totally clueless. "Ah come on babe. I figured you were just being nice." Zac added. "Oh come on.. me... nice. You used them in the same sentence Zac." Jessy teased getting in his face. "Yes I did. I'm a home school graduate." Zac teased back causing Jessy to laugh uncontrollably. "Man know that laugh anywhere." Tyler called from the next row over. "Hey dude." Zac called back waving. "What you up to?" Tyler asked makiing his way through the parked cars. "Some serious shopping. She says she needs new lingerie if she's going to be Miss Oklahoma." Zac answered. "Gees Zac." Jessy squealed nudging him then finishing, "A little louder I don't think everybody heard." "She says she needs..." Zac screamed until Jessy wrapped her aams around his neck, kissing him deeply to shut him up. "We see what she needs." some bystanders screamed. "Oh yeah." Jessy moaned as Zac kissed her back harder. "Sorry Tyler. Got distracted there a minute." Zac said as Jessy layed her head on his shoulder hugging him tightly. "Man I feel bad now I never thought about this part when I nominated Jessy as the teams choice." Tyler confessed. "You. you. How could you?" Jessy gasped. "I said I was sorry Jessy." Tyler repeated. "I thought you liked me." Jessy pouted. "Babe it will be okay." Zac said pulling her back to him. "How? When?" Jessy asked her face mirroring her doubts and desperation over the path her life seemed to be taking. "It's not your fault Tyler. She's having a hard time accepting this change in her plans." Zac shared wrapping her in his arms. "Jessy We didn't know you were planning to get married right after football season was over." Tyler shared. "I wasn't. I was gettig married before football season." Jessy whimpered. "HUh/ Really? Man we didn't know." Tyler gasped, adding, "You mean... Wow. Thanks Jessy." "Huh?" Jessy sniffled. "Here Zac." Darcy said passing along a kleenex she'd found in her purse. "Thanks for cheering Jessy. Without you we never would have gone as far as we did. You are our lucky charm." Tyler insisted. "You sure? Pretty patethtic." Jessy teased as Zac wiped her tears then her nose. "Hey don't talk about the future Miss Oklahoma that way." Tyler teased. "Man I hope noone was watching." Jessy moaned. "Only about twenty or so." Darcy shared. "Head high and make your way gracefully inside." Jessy sighed noticing the onlookers before heading inside. "Right behind you. Head high, shoulders back." Darcy teased following her in. "I don't believe them." Jessy squealed stopping at the entrance and looking back. There was Tyler leading the way, head high shoulders back, followed by Zac, then Adam. "It's not as easy as it looks. Oh my aching back." Tyler shared making it to the girls. "I have a new respect for your abilities." Zac shared kissing her cheek lightly. "I look good. I know I look good." Adam teased sashaying his way inside the Mall. "Do I have to admit I know him?" Darcy moaned. "Know who? It's the four of us right?" Jessy teased. "Don't look at me. I came with Tyler. Right dude?" Zac declared as both girls turned to him. "She just doesn't want you to know that we... well we..." Tyler teased. wrapping an arm around Darcy. "You two what?" Adam demanded to know only catching the end of the conversation. "We met at the Homecoming Party fool." Darcy teased kissing him lightly. "I knew that." Adam gloated wrapping an arm around Darcy's waist still unsure and glaring at Tyler with a 'this is my woman' look in his eyes. "So you never told me what you were up to?" Zac asked turning back to Tyler to break the tension. "Gotta find some tunes for a party I'm having. Hey you guys want to come? Tomorrow night my place." Tyler answered. "Can we Zac? I haven't been to one party this year. Brown Hall right? Please Zac Dorm parties are so much fun." Jessy pleaded. "I guess." Zac answered still thinking it over and adding, "I don't babe." "It'll be cool dude. Everybody that's coming knows about you dude. I mean we know you're..." Tytler shared, stopping and looking around before finishing, "We know you're...ssshhhh.... Jessy's fiance." "You goof." Jessy squealed laughing heartily and shoving Tyler. "I know you're worried about fans Zac. All I can say is it's a students only party dude and you've been to the games and all, so they know about you and Jessy and you and Hanson." Tyler offered. "Yeah you're right it should be okay. We can go if you want babe." Zac shared. "Oh you are so wonderful. I love you, I love you, I love you." Jessy squealed throwng her arms around Zac's neck and kissing him over and over. "Hey I invitied you." Tyler teased. "So." Jessy teased turning in Zac's arms before making a face at Tyler. "You used to love me." Tyler teased back. "When? You? I don't think so. You must have me confused with some other Miss University of Tulsa,.' Jessy teased back. "You wound me woman." Tyler moaned clutching at his heart. "Did you two?" Zac asked moving Jessy to his side looking first at her then at Tyler with wonder in his eyes. "Us two what?" Tyler asked confused. "Zac." Jessy gasped disappointed over his accusation. "Dude I was only teasing." Tyler apologized. "Oh. I didn't know." Zac mumbled glancing at Jessy and the hurt in her eyes, reaching for her as he whispered, "Babe." "I guess I deserved it." Jessy grumbled, quickly turning and heading towards the first store looking in the window. "Man wouldn't want to be you right now. Put your foot right in it." Adam shared with an elbow to Zac's ribs. "Zac I was only teasing. You know Jessy never dated anybody at school. She said she was going with somebody. You. Right?" Tyler added. "She'll never forgive me." Zac moaned realizing what he'd done. "She loves you Zac. Just go apologize before it gets worse." Darcy insisted pushing him in Jessy's directions., "Babe I'm sorry." Zac said making his way to her. "Like I said I deserved. I mean I was still going with Derek when I met you." Jessy replied, pushing his hand away, finishing, "You probably figure once a cheater always a cheater." "Jessy don't. I don't think that babe." Zac gasped reaching for her again. "Fine. I'll do it for you." Jessy mumbled looking at the floor in shame. "Babe I don't think that. Honest Jessy." Zac insisted taking her hands in his, leaning down to look her in the eyes. "You should." Jessy grumbled. "Why? You haven't cheated on me." Zac insisted. "I cheated on Derek. Sort of." Jessy pouted. "Yeah but he deserved it." Zac teased. "Oh so that makes a difference huh?" Jessy pouted trying hard not to laugh. "Yeah he deserved it big time. He was a fool." Zac insisted causing her to laugh. "So I dated a fool huh?" Jessy asked with a snicker. "Oh yeah. He was such a fool. Didn't have a clue." Zac insisted placing his hands on her waist, slowly moving them around her body, pulling her into him then whispering, "He let you get away and I thank God he did." "Oh. So you pulled one over on him huh?" Jessy teased. "Maybe. All I know is I'm so glad he treated you the way he did. If he didn't make you fall out of love with him, I never would have had a chance." Zac insisted kissing her deeply. "I do love you Zac." Jessy gasped as he pulled back. "I know you do babe. I really don't know why I even thought you and." Zac tried to explain. "Don't say it. I don't even want to hear it." Jessy interrupted putting a finger to his lips before finishing, "I only went with Derek. Nobody else Zac." "I know babe. I don't know I wondered about you and Tyler. You had told me Derek was the only guy you had gone out with." Zac insisted lifting her face, gazing into her eyes, whispering, "I'm sorry Jessy." "You so make it impossible to ever fight with you." Jessy sighed shaking her head no, smiling so big. "I don't want to fight. You know that." Zac barely whispered while lightly kissing her neck and ear. "Yeah a lover not a fighter." Jessy moaned. "Man you two are x-rated." Adam teased as the three neared. "Oh shut up and pay attention. There will be a test later." Darcy teased.nudging Adam. "What? A test? Man show me that move again?" Adam pleaded turning to Zac. "Which one?" Zac teased. "The one that made her smile like that." Adam replied. "I love you too babe." Zac shared looking at the love in Jessy's eyes before kissing her deeplky again. "Better take notes." Tyler teased nudging Adam. "Man the pressure. I don'tt think I can handle it." Adam teased grabbing both sides of his head.. "Poor baby." Darcy said wrapping her arms around him. "I got my own moves." Adam teased cuddling his head to her chest. "Darcy needs to get a prescription filled and I need to get more razor blades because someone keeps using mine. Why don't we go in here and you guys can help Tyler find the right tunes for the party? We can meet up in my favorite shop when we're done." Jessy suggested. "Good idea. I wasn't looking forward to buying tampax in front of Tyler. Or Zac. Or Adam." Darcy squealed sending the guys racing off in another direction squealing, "We're saved." "You may not want to shop for those with me around. Did I ever tell you what I did to my cousin Whit?" Jessy asked. "Whit? Oh Whitney. No you didn't tell me." Darcy said as the girls headed to the Drug Store, window shopping on the way. "Well she couldn't drive yet and hated shopping with her Mom. I mean she would call my Mom to take until I got my license. Anyway one time we're shopping and I'm looking something over and she continues shopping. When I get done and head off to find her, she's picking up a box of tampax and heading to the cart. I go, "What kind of TAMPAX do you use Whit? Our little Whit is a woman now she's has periods. I remember when you were just a little kid. Oh you use the SUPERS huh? Wouldn't figure you for a SUPER type. Go figure. Did you ever try the pads with wings? They aren't as bad as the old kind. Can you imagine the old days? Man they used to have to wear this piece of elastic with hooks that you hooked the ends into or they had to safety pin them in their panties. Can you imagine? Man I'd be lost with my thong huh? Do you wear thongs?' real loud at times. Man she turned every shade of red and kept getting shorter and shorter." Jessy shared with a chuckle or two. "Man you are terrible. No wonder I love you." Darcy lauged wrapping an arm around her shoulder before whisper, "Pull that on me and I'll get you back ten times worse. Remember I'm your bestest friend and I've seen it all." "Yeah you have. Look at those poor little boys over there dragging their tongues on the ground." Jessy giggled nodding off to the left. "Yeah. Pathetic. I saw them earlier. They all smiled so when the guys took off in a different direction." Darcy shared. "Oh my longtime fans huh?" Jessy teased with another giggle. "You keep swaying that thing and they'll be hooked for life." Darcy teased. "Me? I don't think they're looking at me." Jessy teased hiding in the next doorway. "What? Where are you?" Darcy squealed finally noticing her missing. "She's back there." one of the guys watching them answered, pointing towards Jessy. "Oh. Thanks." Darcy replied racing back to Jessy. "Yeah me shake that thing huh?" Jessy teased. "Oh they just knew you were so out of their league they didn't want to waste theri time." Darcy gasped turiing redder and redder. "Nah. I'd say it was the tight pants they appreciated." Jessy teased as the two entered the store and looked around.
