Chapter Two
After school ended Sam waited for Otto, so they could walk home, when Ricky confronted him.
"Sam," He started. "What's the deal with Reggie? She totally flipped at lunch today. . ."
"You." Sam said cooly. "You and your big mouth."
"Was it something that I said?"asked Ricky.
"Yes did you know that her mom is dead?" quizzed Sam.
"What?" asked Ricky, shocked. "When? How?"
"Twelve years to the day of cancer." said Sam icily.
Ricky's features turned to guilt. "I didn't know, I just thought . . . . that her parents were divorced or something."
"Well you didn't ask." Said Sam.
"I need to find her and apologize." said Ricky unsurely.
"You stay away from her." said a voice from behind, it was Otto. "Haven't you done enough to her?"
"I'm sorry Otto, I didn't know."
"Well nobody asked you, come on Squid, lets go." Otto said turning around to leave.
"Aren't you going to wait for Reggie and Maurice?" asked Ricky, rudely.
"We would, but you chased Reggie off." spat Otto, "and plus his name is Twister." and they walked away.
"What's that supposed to mean?"called Ricky watching Otto walking away maybe Reggie does have feelings for Twister he thought. "Well then, I will have to get him out of the way."
As Otto walked up his front walkway he noticed Twisters note and headed to the Rodriguez's house.
Upon reaching the house he quietly opened the door, headed up the stairs and to Twisters room. Lightly tapping on the door, he pushed it open only to see his sister curled up on Twisters lap in a deep sleep and his best bro was holding her and flipping through the Zine.
"Comfy?" asked Otto in a whisper.
"Very. "Answered Twister simply and Reggie whimpered in her sleep. "Shh it's ok Reg." he whispered, dropping the Zine and gathering her tighter into his arms and she quieted.
"Is she feeling better?" asked Otto.
"She seems to be, she's been asleep for awhile." said Twister running his hand through her violet hair unconsciously. "She has got really soft hair."
He's got it bad, he thought with a smile. "Well I'm going to go to Madtown, If she wakes up meet me there?"
"Yeah." said Twister and Otto left, as he left Lars drove up into the driveway.
Lars looked at Otto and then went inside as usual, he headed up to his room and noticed that Twister was home and his door was open a crack and he heard him comfort someone who was whimpering, he decided to investigate.
When he opened the door he saw Reggie in his arms and she was asleep.
"Twist, what the hell is she doing here? In your clothes and in your arms." he ranted. "If mom or dad came home they would be pissed."
"Shut it Lars, she's had a rough day." whispered Twister. "It is the twenty third of January."
Lars was about to ask what the date had to do with anything when he put the pieces together. "Oh," he said understandingly. "I see. . ."
"Yeah." he said and Reggie's eyes fluttered open. "Hey." Twister whispered.
"Hi." she said softly and stretching.
"Sleep well?" he asked.
"Yes." she said cuddling into him. Lars was almost forgotten.
"You ok Rocket Girl?" asked Lars.
"Yeah, I am now." she said burring her face into his brothers chest ans his brother wrapped his arms around her, with a slight blush on his face.
"Well, I only came home to get my surf board." he said trying to hide his smile and left, closing the door."
They sat together for awhile when Reggie's stomach growl. "Hungry Rocket Girl?" Twister teased.
"Yeah, I didn't eat much lunch because Ricky was wearing it." she said.
Twister chuckled remembering the events through out the day. "Wanna go to the Shack?"
"Sounds great."she said looking at her clothes. "I guess I could put some pants on."
"Ok." he said and stood up to leave. "I'll call Raymundo and tell him we are on the way, so we don't miss each other."
"Good idea." she said. It didn't take long for her to change because she only replaced the boxers with her jeans and kept his T-shirt on, even though she was swimming in it.
There was a knock at the door. "Come in."she answered.
"You ready?" he asked.
"Yes." she said. He held out his hand for her to take which she did and headed out of the house.
As they neared the Shack the cool January air made Reggie shiver, which didn't go unnoticed by Twister.
He took off his zip down hoodie and draped it around her shoulders. "Here take this."
"But you'll get cold." she reasoned.
"You are cold, and I'm not." he said.
"Thanks."
They walked to the Shack in silence until Twister sighed.
"What's wrong, Twist?" she asked giving his hand a gentle squeeze.
"Nothing." lied Twister.
"Do you want to talk about it?" she pressed.
"Nothing is wrong, I promise." he said a little sternly, to get the point across.
"Ok, but if you want to talk, come talk to me. It is the least I could do, after all you have done for me."
"Don't worry about me, Reg."
"Its hard not to when your best bro's with my brother."she said with a smile.
"Hey!" said Otto from behind sounding hurt, then he chuckled.
"Sorry Rocket Boy, I didn't know you were behind us." she said.
"Do you dis me when I'm not around." he asked
"No."she said
"I don't believe you." he said with a sly smile.
Reggie was about to retort when Twister stepped into the agreement. "She doesn't, really."
"Thanks Twist." she said and stuck her tongue out at Otto and leaned into Twisters arm.
"Who's side you on dude?" Teased Otto, as Twister grew red.
"Uh. . . Reggie's." he stuttered.
"Calm down, bro." said Otto, "Im just teasing you."
"Ha." he said nervously. "I knew that." as they entered the Shack.
Ray was the first to notice the three, he smiled at Reggie who was laughing at something one of the boys had said. What he also noticed was how close she was to Twister, who occasionally brushed he his hand against hers, maybe Otto is right.
"He is you know." said Tito, as if reading Raymundo's mind.
"I know." sighed Raymundo
"Maybe you'll have him as a son-in-law, then you wouldn't have to worry." joked Tito.
"Oh god, their both seniors this year and . . . they are going to start thinking about that." said Ray, freaking out.
"Chill, Ray." said Tito, putting a hand on his shoulder. "They aren't even together."
"Raymundo, I would like a chocolate shake." Said Otto, Ray glared at him. "Please?"
"Ok." he said turning around to make the shake.
"We should go get Sammy." said Reggie.
"Ok." said Otto and Twister at the same time, for Otto he wanted some one on one time with his best bro.
Reggie got her car keys out and said. "I'm going to take the car and get Sammy."
"Ok, be careful." shouted Raymundo from the back. And she left
"Ok Twist, spill." said Otto.
"What?" asked Twister, confused.
"Do you like Reggie?" asked Otto
Twister looked in the direction she left in and sighed, growing nervous. "I. . I. . I don't know." he sputtered.
"Well, don't you think she is pretty?" Otto asked innocently.
"Yeah, she is beautiful, but. . .. ." he said but was interrupted.
"Don't you like holding her?" pressed Otto.
"Yes . . ."
"Well what is your problem then?"
"First off, I do like her, I love holding her and she is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen, but I don't want to hurt her in anyway." said Twister softly. "Besides, she probably doesn't even like me."
"I doubt that bro." said Otto. "She wouldn't let anyone hold her the way you have. She's crazy for you." Twister looked torn in believing his best bro or what his head was thinking. "Just tell her, you never know, until you try."
"Are you sure, dude?" asked Twister.
"Have I ever lied to you before?" Asked Otto.
"Well that one time. . . ." said Twister.
"Twist, I'm not lying to you now." said Otto triumphantly.
Twister sighed. "Ok I'll do it." as a whisper.
"When." pressed Otto.
"I don't know." he said.
"Do it tonight."
"Tonight? I don't know Otto, its too soon." whined Twister.
"Well put it this way, make this hellish day better for Reggie." encouraged Otto.
"How do you know I won't hurt her?"
"Because, just trust me Twister. Once you do this you and her will be happy, I promise you."
Twister sighed and buried his face in his hands as Reggie and Sam came up from behind, Reggie's smile turned into a frown.
"What wrong Twist?" she asked putting a hand on his shoulder, he jumped at her touch.
"Will you walk with me?" he asked softly. "I mean if you don't want to. . ."
"Yes, I will go." said Reggie and they left.
"Where are they going?" asked Sammy.
"Twist needed to talk to her." said Otto with an almost evil glint in his eyes. "Alone." he added as Raymundo came back out with Otto's shake.
"Where's Reggie and Twist?" he asked.
"Oh they. . uh went for a walk." said Otto.
"Oh." he said with concern looking out of the shack, yet dropping the subject.
Meanwhile with Twister and Reggie on the Pier, and Twister was growing nervous by the second. Reggie stopped. "Ok Twist, what's up?"
"Ah, I . . uh. ." she said, he sat down on the nearest park bench, Reggie followed.
"It's ok, Twist. You can tell me anything." she said softly.
"Its just that I don't want tomorrow to come, Im not ready to lose you for another year." he said looking at his shoes.
"What to you mean?" she asked taking his hands into hers.
"The thing is that. . I like being close to you, being there for you when you are down, holding your hand as a reassurance, tell you its going to be ok, watching you sleep, and that smile. . ." he started as if the flood gates gave in.
Reggie started at the boy before her, slowly brought her hand up to his cheek, making him look at her, she slowly pressed her lips to his, quieting him. Instinctively, Twister brought his hands around her waist and deepened the kiss.
When she broke apart, due to the lack of air, she whispered. "Has anyone ever told you that you talk too much?" Twister was speechless and then slowly started to smile. "I don't want things to change either."
"Well after that kiss, it better not change." chuckled Twister, gaining his confidence, pulling her into another kiss.
There was someone who cleared their throat from behind the two.
It was Ricky.
"Reggie?" he asked surprised. "Why are you kissing that?"
"Because, I really like him, and because I can." she said stepping closer to Twister.
"You can do better that him, he's . . ." Ricky couldn't find the word.
"What the hell do you want Ricky?" spat Twister, wrapping his arms around Reggie's waist.
"To take what belongs to me." he said stepping closer to the two.
"And what the hell would that be?" asked an angry voice from behind, it was Lars, carrying a surf board.
"Regina." said Ricky.
"Im not an item, if you haven't noticed." said Reggie.
"Yeah." said Twister.
"Well I had my eye on Reggie a lot longer than you have." said Ricky, running out of material.
"For someone supposedly is sophisticated, that is the lamest stuff I ever heard." said Otto joining the mass, with Sammy.
"Otto, you'd let that lame-o kiss your sister? She is asking for trouble." spat Ricky.
"The thing is, he wouldn't dare hurt her, he knows how much I'd hurt him back."said Otto.
"He also know how hard I'd whomp anyone who tries to hurt my little bro by stealing his girl." said Lars.
"Me too." said Otto.
Ricky started to back down until he reached out for Reggie, "Reggie, come on you know all the fun we'd have and all the romance I'd give you. ." pleaded Ricky. "I love you."
"No you don't." said Reggie for the first time. "You know nothing about me, what I like what I don't like, my history, hell my class schedule."
"I know that today is the day your mother died twelve years ago." he said.
Everybody looked at Reggie, expecting her to back away. "Well what is my favorite color." she asked confidently.
"Uh. .purple?" questioned Ricky.
"Red." answered Twister, Reggie smiled at him.
"Stupid question." he said. "I love you Reggie doesn't that mean anything?"
"No, I don't love you Ricky. I love Twister, get that through your thick head of yours." she said. "Now I never want to see you again."
He walked away sulking and everybody was surprised at Reggie's words.
Otto was the first to speak. "Well, Sammy, Lars, lets head to the shack and leave these two alone."
"Ok." said Lars and Sam and they walked away.
There was an awkward silence between Reggie and Twister until Twister said. "You . . you love me?"
"Yes Twister, I love you." she said. "If you don't feel the same I. . ." she was silenced by Twisters lips pressing to hers.
When he ended the kiss he said . "Has anyone ever told you that you talk to much?"
Reggie smiled at him. "No just you."
"No worries, because I love you too." he said pulling he closer.
"Good, I was beginning to worry." teased Reggie.
"Well I do, so you are going to have to deal with it." said Twister kissing the top of her head.
Reggie's smiled grew bigger and her stomach started to growl. "Im still hungry."
Twister chuckled. "Ok, Rocket Girl, lets go get you something to eat." he said grabbing her hand and lead her to the shack.
