Becca stared into Jameson’s eyes as she returned to the ground after her twirl. She closed her eyes, waiting, completely captured by the moment – or maybe it was the beer. Jameson was frozen, the bravado and swagger had completely disappeared. Oh, my God. She wants me to kiss her!

Sassy intervened, “Break it up, you two. I need to go powder my nose.”

Crap! Jameson thought. That’s girl speak for ‘You’ve been cockblocked.’

“Oh,” Becca replied, opening her eyes. “Yeah, well. Okay.”

As the girls walked away, Jameson noticed the sadistic grin on his friend’s face. He braced himself for the inevitable. Please don’t say it. Please don’t say it. Please don’t say it.

“Looks like somebody put Baby in a corner. Had the time of your life, have you?”

“Is that about it?” Jameson retorted, his cheeks absolutely burning.

“I know you weren’t the one who got Penny in trouble,” Paul smiled, evilly. “When I’m wrong I say I’m wrong. You looked wonderful out there.”

“One more.”

“One more dance?”

“I hate you.”

    Oh my God, I loved this! Any excuse to stick the line, “Nobody puts Baby in a corner” or some substitute of it! Awesome.

    I just noticed the tag, “movie quotes he really shouldn’t know.” Too true – what’s a manly man like Paul doing spitting out all these quotes verbatim?! ;-)

    He probably become more manly as a direct response to all the chickflicks some ex-girlfriend made him watch with her? Or maybe he had those lines on hold for the rare occasion he might see a friend breakout into a Patrick Swayze impression? Some guys are just mysterious like that! ;)

    No, I think he just gave away long nights alone watching ‘Dirty Dancing’ and wishing he was as graceful as Patrick Swayze. Very, very fun continuation. You have a knack for dropping hilariously jarring lines into a story.

    All right, you’ve got sequel. I don’t know why I felt like taking a more serious avenue this time!

    I spy the name Jordan in here. Unless I’m missing something I think you mean Jameson.
    I did love Jordan Brewster in There’s Something About Jodi though, just for the record.

    RainDance, thanks for catching that… I changed it to Jameson. I must have still been going through separation anxiety with my earlier series or something.
