Chapter 51: New Information

Cheryl pulled up in Zak's driveway and parked the car. As we got out of the car, I heard excited barking coming from the house, and then it was outside.

"Gracie! Don't get me in trouble!" I heard Aaron exclaim from the doorway.

I looked up to see Aaron standing in the doorway, in a pair of baggy swim trunks, and Gracie running toward me.

I quickly took a few steps forward so that I wasn't so close to the street, and kneeled down so Gracie would stop at me and I could make sure she stayed with me. Sure enough, she ran straight to me and climbed up on me, putting her front paws on my shoulders and tried to lick my face.

I laughed as I held onto her.

"I missed you too Gracie," I said, as I patted her sides.

"Zak must be jealous that you allow her to do that," Cheryl said teasingly.

I heard Aaron laugh from the doorway, and I couldn't help but laugh myself.

"Shut up CareBear," I said, as Gracie hopped down off me and turned to Cheryl.

Cheryl just grinned at me before leaning down a bit to pet Gracie.

"Hey sweetie," Cheryl said.

Gracie barked and then backed up a bit, her tail wagging and her ears up, as if asking if we were coming inside.

Cheryl and I laughed.

"Yes, we're coming, come on," I said, resting a hand lightly on her neck, near her collar, in case she decided to run in a different direction.

"Don't you two ladies look beautiful," Aaron said, as we reached the doorway. "And you're not wearing black!" Aaron teased, looking at me.

I laughed as I felt my face flush a bit.

"Blame her," I mumbled, nodding my head toward Cheryl.

Cheryl just smiled.

"Zak will thank me, you'll see," Cheryl said as she walked inside, causing Aaron to laugh.

"If his jaw doesn't drop to the floor first," Aaron said, shutting the door behind Gracie and I.

I blushed.

"I hate you both," I mumbled.

Aaron and Cheryl both laughed, and then Aaron kissed Cheryl on the cheek.

"You look nice," Aaron said softly.

I saw Cheryl smile, though somewhat shyly.

"Thanks," she replied.

Aaron smiled at her.

"Excuse me lovebirds," I teased, slipping past them and into the kitchen, feeling awkward watching the two of them.

I heard them both laugh.

"Hey bro, why were you freaking out about Gra- oh, hey Cheryl," I heard Zak's voice, as he walked down the stairs.

Here we go...I thought.

"Hey Zak, what's up?" Cheryl asked, smiling at Zak and watching him intently - she was waiting for him to see me to see his reaction to how I was dressed.

"I'm good, how about-" Zak stopped dead in his tracks.

He had reached the bottom of the stairs and turned and saw me standing in the kitchen.
