Convincing her

"Don't worry too much, although her last relationship did not end well, I know Leanna isn't reckless" Nancy said reassuring Jen.

"How did the two of you even happen. I hardly even saw you two talk to each other" Jen asked curiously.

"Well it sorta just happened. It's not like anything happened between us, we're just friends" Leanna explained.

"Oh is that so?" Jen asked with lifted eyebrows. She was feeling slightly disappointed since she was hoping that she would be able to get more details.

"Well, they just disappeared when we went to the club on the night of Lucas' birthday" Nancy said ratting her out.

"Really?" Jen said and even adjusted the way she was sitting so she could pay better attention to what Nancy was saying.

"Yes, although it looked like Ethan is a bit shy compared to how straightforward Leanna is, he was a mess when he was talking to her" Nancy commented and yelped loudly when Leanna pinched her arm for talking too much.

"Are you already protecting him? It feels like you are already taking sides" Nancy complained loudly making Jen laugh. When she thought about it, she remembered how Ethan was when he first saw all the girls together and how he seemed to be at a loss for words.

When she thought that he was timid, she remembered the texts that he had sent to Lucas and they were not timid at all. Maybe he was slightly awkward around new people.

"I wonder what he does" Jen thought out loud and unexpectedly received an answer.

"He is a doctor" Leanna answered generously.

"Really?" Jen asked surprised.

"He is a doctor but a very eccentric one" Leanna continued.

"I knew they hit it off" Nancy said smugly.

"As friends, I just broke up with my ex a few weeks ago. If I enter a new relationship so soon it'll be unfair to the other person" Leanna said in slight annoyance.

"Oh, so you have thought about dating him?" Nancy asked clearly trying to agitate Leanna.

"As I said, we are friends. Stop putting words in my mouth" Leanna answered with a frown.

"How is he eccentric?" Jen asked curiously.

"He works three times a week. You know how doctors are always busy and hardly ever go home. He works from Tuesday to Thursday and also insists on having his holidays and sick leaves" Leanna said in contemplation.

"Maybe it's because he is good at what he does" Jen said after thinking about.

"Exactly."Nancy agreed but Leanna made no comments. She knew that if she said anything else then it would just be used against her.

"What about you?" Jen asked shifting the attention towards Nancy.

"What about me?" Nancy asked feigning ignorance.

"You didn't find anyone interesting?" Jen asked while playing along.

"Not really" Nancy responded nonchalantly making Leanna scoff in disbelief.

"What is it?" Jen asked Leanna since she knew she wouldn't get any answers from Nancy. The one thing she learned after being friends with the two girls is that they seemed to expose each other pretty often.

"She never said this to you but do you remember that time you got drunk and left the party with Lucas?" Leanna said bluntly reminding Jen of that night.

[A/N: Girl that's over 100 chapters ago you need to chill :D]

Jen's eyebrows rose with disbelief at how easily that long forgotten subject had been brought up. She never talked about that night, even with Lucas. So the unexpected reminder made her face red from mortification.

"How can you say that so casually?" Jen complained as she too pinched Leanna's arm.

"It's not like it didn't happen" Leanna said with a frown as she massaged the pinched area.

"Anyways, she had a thing for David ever since he came to pick us up that night" Leanna said casually.

If Jen was drinking something, she would have choked on it. If she was eating something she would have also choked on it. Nancy had the hots for Dave?

"Really?" Jen asked in disbelief.

"She was so excited when you told us that we would go to the estate with Dave, you should have seen her." Leanna said and looked at Nancy who was acting like they were talking about someone else.

"Nancy?" Jen called when she realised that Nancy had tuned them out.

"Don't ask me about him. He is so uptight just thinking about makes me angry" Nancy said while feeling upset.

When she talked to him on the night of the birthday he had been very easy going, but she had also seen how Jason had packed him full of alcohol.

She thought that he wouldn't be too different when he was sober and she was really disappointed when she met him at the pool the next day and he was acting very distant with her. It was like he was an entirely different person and that had completely discouraged her from attempting to have a conversation with him.

It was even worse when they were going back home, whenever she brought up a topic he would only answer what he was asked and would not bother with volunteering any more information. He was either really bad at holding a proper conversation or he just didn't like her at all.

By the time she was dropped off at home she literally ran out of the car. She had been in that car with him for three hours and she had basically talked to herself most of the time since he refused to carry a proper conversation with her.

"He is a bit stiff" Jen admitted while laughing.

"A bit? That's the understatement of the century" Nancy said and rolled her eyes.

"He'll warm up to you, just give it time. You at least have his number right?" Jen asked.

"We exchanged numbers when he was still drunk" Nancy said while still carrying a frown on her face.

"Ask him out for dinner or something in the weekend" Jen suggested.

"Should I?" Nancy asked with hesitation.

"Don't give up without giving it a try" Leanna pushed making Nancy go deep into thought. She wondered if it would really be okay to contact him and even if he accepted a date, how much fun could they possibly have?

With the way he was rigid, would she really be able to stay on the date long enough to not run away from him?
