There they sat. The T-Birds and Pink Ladies were on vacation. They had rented a good-sized cabin in the country for a week for fall break of their senior year. Everyone was sitting in the living room after dinner, approximately 6:30 p.m. They had decided to play truth or dare and were a few dares in when it was Sandy's turn.
"Okay, Rizzo, truth or dare", Sandy asked. Rizzo had already been dared to lick the floor last time, so she went with truth.
"Okay, tell the this: why do you never talk about or let us meet your parents?", Sandy asked. Everyone's eyes went wide.
"You know what, I'm done with this game", she said getting up and walking into the kitchen.
"Aren't you going to answer?", Sandy asked again.
"You want an answer, fine. None of your business, that's why!", she stated, poking her head back into the room for a second. She stood by the kitchen sink, looking out the window, hearing whispers of her friends, explaining to Sandy what went wrong. Rizzo couldn't stay that mad at her though. I mean, she was new and didn't know of Rizzo's family issues. She heard footsteps approaching behind her.
"Come on, Riz, let's go finish the game", it was Kenickie.
"I'm not going out there again", Rizzo said stubbornly.
"Does someone need a hug?", Kenickie asked mockingly.
"No", she said.
"Are you sure?", he asked, arms held out, taking a step closer. Without any time to even react, Rizzo was running across the kitchen, Kenickie trying to give her a 'hug'. She was fast and managed to get pack him. He was happy to see a smile appear on her face as she was running from him. She was almost away when he caught up to her around the corner, their friends still two rooms away. He pinned her between his arms, her back against the wall. They laughed for a second.
"I don't understand how you thought you could get away from me", he joked. Out of nowhere, a feeling came over Rizzo, a feeling she wasn't so sure of. Without actually thinking it through, she reacted. As soon as he stopped talking, she closed the gap between them, pressing her lips against his. He had no clue what was happening, but he didn't mind it, as he kissed back. They broke away from the kiss moments later. Rizzo untangled from his trap with ease and went back into the kitchen.
"Aren't you going to play still?", Kenickie asked, a little bit dazed.
"Yeah, go on in, I'm just getting a drink first", she smiled. After getting a drink, she walked back into the living room to find Kenickie sitting in her chair.
"You're in my chair"
"You left. My chair now"
"I'm sitting there on way or another", she said in that know-it-all voice.
"Well, I'm not moving", he stated. She shrugged her shoulders and sat down on his lap, un fazed by her questionable actions.
"What are you doing?", he asked.
"I told you, I'm sitting here one way or another. Whose turn is it?", she asked as the game continued. They progressed with their game, but Kenickie's mind was somewhere was. He was thinking about the kiss. He wondered what it meant, what it would mean, and more importantly why did it happen like that, right there, why now. Rizzo sat there as well, thinking why she had done it. The answer was simple: she had feelings rom him. At around 7, they all decided to go out and have a bonfire at the fire pit. So, they all filed outside. As the others were heading out back, Rizzo pulled Kenickie back some.
"What?", he asked.
"We need to talk", she said.
"I guess we do", he said.
"When I say I'm going to bed, decide you're tired too and come with me", she said before walking back to the fire pit. They all sat around the fire talking and laughing. They were about to start playing more games, when Rizzo announced she was going inside, and just like planned, Kenickie came too. They both walked inside, Rizzo pulling the door shut behind them. She grabbed his hand and dragged him into the living room. They sat down on the couch and Rizzo immediately attached her mouth to his. He stifled a moan as he pushed her away slightly.
"I thought you said talk", he asked, not minding one bit where this was heading.
"Yeah, I did. I think we should give us a try. I mean we have been getting closer for the past month or so", she stated.
"Okay. So, we are dating", he asked.
"Yeah", she responded.
"So, we can finish what you started?", he asked.
"Duh", she said grabbing his neck. Their lips touched and refused to give up the bond. She moaned into his mouth, causing an immediate reaction from him. Without warning, Rizzo broke away and stood up. She began walking away.
"Are you coming?", she asked, looking over her shoulder.
