for an attachment with a nurse that worked in his hospital.
    “Hey so what do you want to eat lover boy?”  Nancy broke into his thoughts.
    “Well I could have you!!”  Mike said with a devilish grin.
    “Yes you can, oh I guess we can just eat food later.”  She began to drag him into the bedroom.
    Mike’s thoughts went back to Jenna for a second, and he almost felt guilty about this.  But it wasn’t his first time sleeping with another woman while they had been dating.  So like normal he just focused on this lover for now.
    If only Jenna would have been a little more lenient on the having sex subject, but she had grown up being taught you shouldn’t have sex before your married.  No wonder her other boyfriends from the past never lasted too long.

    The phone rang taking Jenna from her thoughts, and she jumped to answer it.  “Hello.”
    “Hey how ya doing tonight?”
    “Oh it’s you.” 
    “Well thanks for being so excited to talk to me.”
    “I’m sorry Jeff, I’m always happy to talk to you.  I had only hoped it was Mike calling and telling me he could get off tonight.”
    “The good doctor is working on this special day.  Doctor’s what can you do with them!”  Jeff chuckled.
    “Yeah sometimes he’s just too dedicated I think.”
    Jeff Zest was an old friend of Jenna’s they had grown up on farms outside the city limits, and even dated in the past.  He was her best friend, and one that she would always be able to talk too.
    “So what are you going to do tonight?”
    “Nothing, waste of the reservations.”
    “Well we can go so you don’t waste them, I have no plans.”
    “OK, sure that sounds good.”
    “Alright what time were they for?”
    “Seven.”
    “Get ready and I’ll come and get you.”
    “Okay see you in a bit.”
    “Bye.”  Jeff hung up the phone.
    “Mike just doesn’t know what he’s missing out on.”  Jeff said to his dog Rufus.  She looked at him as she almost understood what he was saying.
    Jeff knew that he shouldn’t really be going out tonight with Jenna.  His feelings for her had never really ended over the years.  He couldn’t even really remember why they had ended it in high school, but he had.  He thought back to when he first met that little freckled girl the day they moved in next door.  He didn’t really like girls back then, but she was one hell of a tomboy to hang around with.  They became fast friends, and it had progressed to more for a little bit.
    But as they got older and he became a star player on the football team he had so many girls who wanted to date him.  Girls he knew would let him experiment.  Instead of listening to his heart, he’d listened to another part of his body. 
    He had regretted it for years as him and Jenna continued to be friends.  He had wanted to ask her out again, but was just scared to do so.  Now she had been with Mike for three years, and he knew they were planning on marrying.  But there was still something he couldn’t pinpoint about Mike and why he didn’t like him.

    Jenna went to get ready; she was going to wear the new dress she had bought for tonight anyway.  Even if Mike wasn’t going to see it, she didn’t want to wear anything else but that.  She smiled while thinking of Jeff; he was such a good friend.
    She thought back to when her family had first moved into that house next door to Jeff’s family.  He was a little scrawny kid of eight.  She had been the same age so that wasn’t a problem, and he liked doing all the things she did too.
    Remembering how they had slowly become attracted to each other as they got older.  The first time he asked her out, he had been so nervous he could barely talk.  But when he finally got the question out, she didn’t hesitate in saying yes.
    For many years they had been going in that way, and she was glad he’d finally asked.  Though when they got into high school it had all changed.  Almost too quickly to really
