When they got to Club Hell it took Loren all of 15 minutes to hook up with some guy named Greg and disappear.

Donnie - "Hey where'd Loren go."

Jess - "Oh she always does this she'll turn up in the morning I never worry about her."

Donnie - "Oh okay. You're not going to disappear on me are you?"

Jess - "No I'm having a good time. Are you?"

Donnie - "Yes. Do you need another drink?"

Jess - "No I'm good."

Donnie - "You sure."

Jess - "Donnie let me fill you in on something. You don't need to get me drunk, I like you."

Donnie laughs, "I have no idea what you're talking about."

Jess - "Yeah right. Want to dance?"

Donnie - "I'm not that big on dancing but go ahead, just don't get lost." She goes out on the floor and is just dancing her little heart out then she notices Joe dancing up to her.

Joe - "Hey Donnie sent me to make sure you where having fun." She justs gives him a strange look and keeps dancing. Then things slow down a little she realizes there was three guys other then Joe standing wanting to dance with her.

Jess - "Hey Joe." She starts dancing with him. "Thanks."

Joe - "Hey you came here with us, we're not letting anyone else hit on you."

Jess - "So I'm here with all of you. God that makes me sound like a groupie."

Joe - "That's not what I meant."

Jess - "Well that's what you said."

Joe - "I meant we're kinda looking out for you this place seems a little rough."

Jess - "I can take care of myself but thanks anyway."

Donnie - "Okay Joe my turn."

Joe - "Sure D. See ya later."

Donnie - "Having fun?"

Jess - "Yeah but I thought you didn't dance."

Donnie - "Slow ones are simple I don't have to worry about showing anyone up."

Jess - "Oh I see. So I didn't know I was on a group date."

Donnie - "I didn't know we were on a date."

Jess - "My mistake then. Excuse me." She leaves him standing there and head to the coat check. As the girl is handing Jess her coat Donnie walks up.

Donnie - "You're leaving."

Jess - "Yeah it's getting late and I've got classes starting at ten so I need to get some sleep."

Donnie - "Well let me see you home."

Jess - "Don't bother. I can manage with out you." She goes out and stands in the cab line.

Donnie - "Look I'm sorry. I can be a bit of an idiot at times, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings."

Jess - "Don't worry about it. It's okay. But I've really do have class early so I have to go."

Donnie - "Can I see you home."

Jess - "Yeah I guess." So they get in the cab and head back to Jess's place. They make casual conversation on the way there, because the cab driver could actually speak English. On the ride up in the elevator Jess starts getting nervous. "And here we are." She opens the door and lets him in.

Donnie - "Wow this place is great. When you said that you and Loren shared a studio I wasn't expecting this. Hey is this your family?"

Jess - "Yeap, that's mom dad me and Stephen.

Donnie - "Nice family."

Jess - "I think so. Do you want a drink?"

Donnie - "Sure whatcha ya got."

Jess - "Um let me look. Soda, water, juice, milk and beer."

Donnie - "I'll take a beer."

Jess - "Heni, Mickey's or Corona?"

Donnie - "Got limes?"

Jess - "Yeah."

Donnie - "Corona with lime if you don't mind." She gets his drink and starts cutting the limes. "What are you having?"

Jess - "Juice I don't drink much. I have a very low tolerance level." He starts wandering around. "You can turn on some music or the TV if you want." He turns on the stereo and hits random on the CD player. "Okay here ya go." Jess joins him on the couch.

Donnie - "So you didn't tell me what you're studying?

Jess - "Right now a lot of English and theater studies next semester I'll start taking film classes."

Donnie - "So you're a?"

Jess - "A sophomore over at NYU." He gets up and sits on the coffee table across from her. "What are you doing?"

Donnie - "I like to see the person I'm talking to, that's all."

Jess - "Okay. So what do you guys have planned next?"

Donnie - "We're going to do a little tour over on Europe then I don't know we haven't decided yet. "

Jess - "You're going to kiss me arent you."

Donnie - "oh yeah." He leans across and kisses her. As they kiss he lays her down on the couch.

Jess - "Donnie I think maybe we should go to the bedroom. Loren might come home and I really don't want her to catch us out here."

Donnie - "You sure. You know what going to the bedroom might entail."

Jess - "Yeah is that okay with you?" He laughs.

Donnie - "Oh that's perfectly fine with me.

Jess - "Good." So Jess goes and does something she never did before. I mean sleep with some one she just met,
and it was well worth it.
