Jess wakes up the next morning feeling better then she has in a long time. Brian is still asleep. Some time during the night he got up and hung up her dress and picked up the rest of the clothes.  She grabs her bag off the dresser and headed into the bathroom to take a shower. The running water must have woken him up because he wanders in to pee.

Jess - "Good morning."

Brian - "morning, you want some breakfast?"

Jess - "Umm, sure." He sticks his head in behind her.

Brian - "Nice."

Jess - "Brian get out of here!"  She splashes him.

Brian - "I've seen you naked."

Jess - "yeah but this is different. Go."

Brian - "alright. I'll order room service."  Jess finishes her shower and when she gets out she sees he laid a robe and a couple of towels out for her.  She walks out drying her hair.

Jess - "Brian?"  He's not anywhere.  She opens the door and peeks out and still doesn't see him.  She sits on the bed and reaches for the remote and finds his note sitting under it.

Jessica,
Sorry to run out on you like this but
Ill be back before the food is here.
Please dont take this the wrong way.
I love you.
Brian

Meanwhile

Brian went to seek advice. The only one he could think of was Howie. He knocks lightly on the door hoping that he was already awake. Howie opens the door.

Howie - "hey man its not time for check out is it?"

Brian - "No. I need to talk to some one."

Howie - "Sure come on in man." Brian comes in and sits in a chair and then stands up and starts pacing. "I take it Jess found you."

Brian - "yeah. She's still in my room."

Howie - "So you guys..."

Brian - "Yeah. I don't know what happened. She was standing there telling me how much she loved me and I told her the same and then she was in my arms and it was everything I always wanted. And now I don't know what to do."

Howie - "About Christine."

Brian - "Yeah. I can't bring myself to just blow her off because Jessica wants me. I love both of them in completely different ways. I feel like I've known Jessica forever, she's funny and exciting, completely unpredictable and incredibly beautiful. And Christine is practical, and charming. She does things to make me happy and she's also beautiful."

Howie - "So your problem is that you have two beautiful women to choose from. I wish I had your problem."

Brian - "Howie this isn't funny. I am in love with both of them and I have no idea what to do."

Howie - "Look dude. I can't tell you what to do or who to choose. You have to do that. But I think you should talk to her. She'll probably understand."

Brian - "And if she doesn't?"

Howie - "Then I don't know, wing it."

Brian - "Wing it. You give such good advice, D."

Howie - "Hey I try."

Brian - "Well I've gotta go. Jess's in the shower and I want to run out and get her something."

Howie - "okay, sorry I wasn't any help."

Brian - "thats okay, I don't think anyone could help me. Later."

Brian leaves and goes to Tiffany's. He had arranged before to go here this morning and get something for Christine. He goes and picks out some thing for her and for Jessica, which just adds to his confusion. By the time he gets back Jess has already eaten breakfast and is watching TV.

Jess - "Hey what took so long?"

Brian - "Sorry. You ate."

Jess - "Yeah I was going to wait but I got hungry."

Brian - "Thats okay. I got you something."

Jess - "You did. I love surprises."

Brian - "Good." He hands her a long box.  She opens it and inside is a silver and sapphire bracelet.

Jess - "Brian its beautiful. Here help me put it on."

Brian - "you really like it."

Jess - "Of course I do."  She kisses him. " So what do you want to do today?"

Brian - "I dunno, we should probably have 'the talk' some time."

Jess - "Yeah but lets go have some fun first. Wanna go to Baltimore?"

Brian - "Baltimore?"

Jess - "Yeah you guys are playing there tomorrow anyway so why don't we just head down a day early and hang out around inner harbor."

Brian - "Okay, let me get my stuff together and tell the guys."

Jess - "okay and I'll run home quick and get my stuff."

Brian - "Do you want me to come pick you up?"

Jess - "No I'll just meet you back here. Later."

Brian - "Hey aren't you forgetting something?"

Jess - "What?"  He makes kissy noises.  "Oh yeah."  She leans across and gives him a kiss.  "How could I have possibly forgotten? I'll be back soon."

Jess leaves and Brian heads to Kevin's room.  For some reason much to Loren's distress everyone seems to come to Kevin's room some time through out the morning. Mostly cause he's the only one who remembers where they have to be and when. One time when the two love birds were getting cozy the guys made her absolutely nuts and she posted the itinerary on the door with a big note that said knock and you die. There was no such note this morning. They had already been up and had breakfast.

Loren - "Morning Brian."

Brian - "Hey can I come in?"

Loren - "Sure, you're the first one."

Brian - "Good I can just tell you guys and you can tell everyone else."

Kevin - "Tell us what?"

Brian - "well instead of staying here for the day I'm going to head down to Baltimore awhile with Jess. "

Loren - "Oh really. You and Jess huh."

Kevin - "Is there any other information you would like to share?"

Loren - "Whats going on?"

Brian - "I'm not too sure yet. We're going to spend some time together."

Kevin - "That's good. What are you going to tell Christine?"

Brian - "Um, I'll think of something."

Loren - "What do you mean you'll think of something you're breaking up with her aren't you."

Kevin - "Loren! Mind your own business."

Brian - "No its okay. I don't what I'm doing. We decided to spend some time together and then figure it out from there. Okay."

Loren - "Yeah I'm sorry Brian."

Brian - "Its okay. I'm going to go pack." As Brian opens the door Nick was getting ready to knock. "Hey man."

Nick - "Hey you're up early."

Brian - "Not really it is almost ten."

Loren - "Come on you guys in or out." Brian closes the door.

Nick - "Hey you up for a quick game of basketball."

Brian - "Nah Jess and I are heading down to Baltimore."

Nick - "cool, I'll go tell Summer we should be ready in like ten minutes."

Brian - "Nick, this is just a Jessica and I trip."

Nick - "She's not going to mind if we go."

Brian - "But I will. Look I don't know what's going on between us.  We need to spend some time alone together. I'm sorry I don't want you to come."

Nick - "Fine." He goes in to Kevins room with out knocking. "I can't believe him."

Kevin - "Now what?"

Nick - "I'm not allowed to go to Baltimore with them."

Kevin - "Nick you're a little young to understand..."

Nick - "No I'm not. Jessica's my friend too. He has hurt her so bad and I have been there for her. Now he's just going to run off with her and make me stay here and worry about her."  Loren and Kevin look at each other. No one noticed that Nick had become so protective of Jessica.

Kevin - "You don't really want to go with them."

Loren - "yeah New York is so much better then Baltimore. Hey you know what we were just talking about going clubbing tonight. I bet I can get you in at Hell."  He perks up a little. AJ has went on about the Angles and Nick was been dying to go ever since.

Meanwhile Jess got back and headed to Brians room. He was done packing and on the phone with Christine.

Brian - "No sweetie I'm not suppose to be talking more then I have too... 'kay... yeah I'll call you tomorrow... Love you too." He hangs up and her heart sinks.  Thats what I get for eavesdropping, she thinks.  She knocks on the door and he opens it. "Hey where's your bag?"

Jess - "Down in the car I thought it would be nice if we drove."

Brian - "Can I drive?"

Jess - "Yeah sure, you ready."

Brian - "Yeap, got my bag right here." He shuts the door to his room. "Hey are you alright?"

Jess - "No, I didn't mean to but I over heard you talking to Christine."

Brian - "Oh. You want to talk about this now."

Jess - "Not really but maybe we should."

Brian - "okay, come on lets have a seat." They sit in the lobby on their floor. "I'm really really mixed up. I have been in love with you for over a year. But I just can't bring myself to hurt Christine. I love her too."  Jess is fighting tears like mad.  "I know this is not what you want to hear, but I want to make sure that this thing between us is going to work before I go around breaking people's hearts."

Jess - "The way I've been in the past I can understand that. But I do want to be with you. I won't make you choose between us.  Right now I just want to be with you, and I said last night that I would take what ever you have to give. If it means I only get a couple days with you I guess I'll have to be okay with that."  She wipes her eyes.  "You ready to get out of here."

Brian - "Absolutely."  They head down to the garage and he gets behind the wheel.  "Now its been awhile since I drove you might have to bear with me."

Jess - "You can't be any worse then me."

Brian - "Buckle up." He almost hits a car leaving the garage.  After Jess gives him a look she directs him to the highway and they're off on one of their first little trips.
