Chapter 5
1218 Words
I could not believe what a jerk Greg was being about this whole thing. Dumping me. Because I did not agree with him. He was being a jealous ninny. I was hurting.
All I wanted to do was to date Greg. But now he dumped me. I felt humiliated. And sad. I get a phone call. I go to answer it. What was I going to tell Mrs. Brady? What was I going to tell aunt Alice?
This whole thing was a big mess. Maybe I should tell Pete it was off. I never meant to hurt Greg this way but he was hurting.
And he lashed out because I hurt his pride. That was what was going on here. His pride was getting in the way of our date.

"Hello?" I answer softly.
"Hi Daisy it is Pete" he says on the other end.
"Oh are you excited about our date tonight?" I ask him.
"That is why I am calling. About our date. I wanted to cancel" he tells me.
I frown. "Cancel why?" I wonder. My heart sinks.
"Because I should not have asked you. I knew Greg liked you and I double crossed him. That is not what a brother should do. I do not want to hurt Greg" he explains to me.
I nod. "Alright Peter. I understand. Thanks for calling" I sigh.
Tears come to me. Now I had no dates.
Lovely.
♡♪♬♪♡
"I really am sorry. I do like you a lot Daisy. Maybe we can still be friends?" he asks me.
"Sure Pete. Friends" I agree.
"Talk to you later Daisy" Peter answers as we hang up.
I go to the bathroom and take off my make up. And undress up. I could make a hungry man dinner for my dinner tonight. No date for me.
Tears come to me. I had not wanted to tell Peter no and hurt his feelings. And now I hurt Greg's feelings as well. Now I lost Greg. I needed to talk to someone. I grab the phone to make a call.
"Aunt Alice can you come by? I need someone to talk to?" I ask her.
"Sure but I am with someone. A friend. Can I bring her with me?" she asks me over the phone.
"The more the merrier" I answer. "I need someone to talk to"
"What about your date? I thought you were going out with Greg tonight? Or was it Peter?" she mutters.
"That is what I need to talk to you about" I sigh.
"Be right over dear" she tells me before we hang up.
I make a batch of no bake cookies and get tea heating up on the stove in my kitchen. I spot Greg playing ball with Peter in the driveway over at the Brady's.
They looked like they were both over me. And had moved on just fine. My heart sinks a little. Did they not care a thing about me at all? Greg was laughing and playing around with his brother. They sure seemed to forget about me.
Oh well!
The doorbell rings. I go to let aunt Alice inside. She was with a pretty blond lady. She looked rather familiar to me. Aunt Alice hugs me after I let them both come into my home.

"Daisy meet Marcia. She is in town. She had stopped by to see me. Marcia is Greg and Peter's oldest sister" explains aunt Alice.
"Oh, I heard so much about you" I tell Marcia as we shake hands.
"Pleasure. I heard a lot about you from Pete and Greg" she admits.
I blush. "Good things I hope" I laugh. "come on in. I made no bake cookies and tea"
They come in. I shut the door behind them. They sit on my couch. I serve them tea and cookies.
I tell them all what happened with the boys and how bad I felt.
"My brothers can be such dummies" sighs Marcia. "I can tell they both like you" she giggles.
I blush. "I like Greg. A lot. I never meant to hurt his feelings in anyway" I tell her. "but I hurt him by telling Pete yes. I should have never done that"
"You were stuck in a place that you did not know what to do. You had no clue Greg wanted to go steady. He should have made things clear" aunt Alice agrees with me.
"Glad you guys do not hate me to" I mutter.
"I just met you and I think you and Greg are a great match. He talked about you all day yesterday" laughs Marcia.
"He had?" I ask softly. As I do, I feel my cheeks blush.
"Yes, he had" says Marcia. "and Pete felt badly for getting you guys fighting"
"I guess it is over between Greg and I. Easy come easy go" I tell her.
"I would not say that just yet" aunt Alice warns me.
The doorbell rings.
I wondered who was here now.
♡♪♬♪♡
"Please excuse me. Help yourself to the cookies" I tell the ladies as I go to answer the door.
I open the door and there is Greg.
"Hi" he greets me.
"Hi" I answer. "I just met your sister. She is lovely"
"She is in town with her kids for a few days" he tells me. "I am glad you got to meet her"
"Me to. What did you want? Did you need to talk to her?" I ask him.
"No, I needed to talk to you" he says to me with a smile. I shut the door behind me so we could talk on the porch.
"Alright" I say. "what about?"
"I should have not told you who you should date when I had not made my feelings clear. And that was my fault. I am sorry Pete broke your date. You can date if you want. I won't stand in your way" he offers sadly. He goes to leave.
"Greg!" I call out. "wait" I beg him.
He turns around.
"Yeah?" he asks me.
"I never wanted to date Peter. I felt bad. I think he is nice and all. I said yes. And I did not know where I stood with you yet. I was hoping you would ask me to you know go steady. But no worries no pressure. And that is all I had to say. Good night" I softly ramble on. I go to head back inside.
Tears wanted to fall.
I feel him stop me from going inside. He pulls me in his arms. Then his lips fall to mine. I return his kiss. My arms go around his neck as I hold him closer to me. This felt so right. Like I belonged to him. I wanted to be his girl. I did not want to date someone else. Someone other than Greg.
"Can I ask you something?" he breaths out after the kiss.
"Sure" I answer him.
"Say I was to ask you to be my girl. Only date me? What would you say to that if I did ask?" he mentions curiously.
"I would say yes" I agree.
"Really?" he asks me happily.
I nod. "Yes" I laugh happily.
"Then it is settled. We are going steady" he announces.
He twirls me around in his arms.
"That means no dating others. Including my brothers. Bobby or Pete" he teases me.
I hold him close. "I only want to date one Brady boy. He is right here" I tease.
He grins. Then his lips fall to mine. Things worked out after all. I smile as I return each kiss he gave me.
