CHAPTER FOUR
Demeter through her backpack down and went to go get some orange juice from the fridge. All the ride home, Macavity's words repeated over and over again in her mind.
Don't let it bother you, Demeter willed herself for the millionth time, he was just trying to annoy you. He doesn't know anything.
But then always after thinking that, she wondered how Macavity knew about her and Munk...how he knew that something was wrong. Demeter decided that she was putting too much thought into it, and there was no huge conspiracy/scandal thing behind it.
As she poured herself a cup of the orange juice, the phone started to ring. "hello?" "Demeter, its Bombalurina," said Bombalurina. "oh, hey," Demeter wasn't exactly in the mood to talk. "Come over," Bombalurina demanded. She sighed. "fine." "'kay. See you in a few," she hung up.
Demeter sighed again. She wandered back over to her orange juice, put the cup to her lips, only to find that she had not yet poured anything into it. She reluctantly put the cup and the oj away, grabbed her keys and walked back out the door.

Upon arriving at Bombalurina's house, Demeter figuered that maybe she could tell Bombalurina about what Macavity had said, and maybe she would help her sort everything out.
Two seconds after ringing the bell, Bombalurina appeared at the door. "Hey," she greeted, moving aside to let Demeter in.
"Hi. where's your mom?" "Out. She left twenty minutes ago, she had some party to go to for work in the city," Bombalurina replied, locking the front door. "I have something important to tell you," she said urgently.
She led Demeter up the stairs and into her room. For some reason, Bombalurina shut the door behind them, when there was no one else in the house to overhear them.
"Okay...are you ready?!" She asked excitedly. "hit me with it," Demeter asked in a bored tone.
"I wanna do it with Tugger."
All of Demeter's bored attitude evaporated that second. "What?!" she exclaimed.
"I wanna have sex with Tugger." Bombalurina repeated.
Demeter cringed. "I know what you said, you don't need to repeat it!" She exclaimed. "Bombalurina, you -"
"I just want to remind him that I love him. That damn bitch Silabub had to get in the way..." she trailed off for a second. "I think that if we do 'do it', then we'll be closer together," she reasoned.
Demeter didn't point out that when teenagers have sex to be closer together, the relationship usually goes down hill from there.
"I've been planning this for a week. Everything is already planned out. Tugger is coming over tonight to watch a movie..."
Demeter shook her head slowly. "Did he agree to this?"
Bombalurina didn't answer right away. "...no. But do you really think he'll say no?"
Demeter didn't say anything.
"Don't worry Demi, I'll be fine," Bombalurina tried to reassure, "I know exactly what I'm doing. I promise."
X X X the only light source was the tv and Bombalurina sat comfortably next to Tugger.
The movie seemed to drag on forever...they hadn't even reached the climax yet.
Bombalurina slid over closer to her boyfriend. This movie was taking to damn long to wait for it to be over. He put his arm around her. That was good. At least she was getting somewhere (no pun intended).
"do you like this movie?" she asked, just to make sure he was still paying attention to her. "its okay," he replied.
An idea struck Bombalurina. "Well, I was just thinking, maybe we could do something better..." she let her voice trail off in what she hoped was a seductive fashion. She slid on top of his lap. "There's no one here except for the two of us..." she placed a kiss on his lips before continuing. "...the entire house to ourselves. We could go upstairs..." Bombalurina smiled. Then she kissed him again, longer and harder this time.
"Bombalurina," Tugger said, pushing her away from him. "Whats wrong?" she asked as she tried to kiss him again. "Stop," he said forcefully.
Bombalurina stared at him, trying to figure out what the hell was wrong. She gave a laugh...nervous, maybe? "Why?" she laughed again. Her smile faded. "Don't you want to...?"
"No," he sighed. "I mean, yes I do, really-" "Then whats the problem?" she interrupted, getting irritated.
"but I can't," he finished.
Bombalurina gave him a quizzical look as he lifted his right hand.
"...I promised." Tugger added, avoiding looking at her face.
Bombalurina's eyes widened. On his finger was a ring. She had never really paid attention to it, but now-
"YOU PROMISED?!" Bombalurina yelled, leaping off his lap.
"YOU PROMISED?" she repeated, "and didn't tell me?!" she ran her fingers through her long dark hair. "You're the Rum Tum Tugger! You don't promise to wait!" she babbled. "How could you do this to me?!!!"
She stopped pacing to face her boyfriend. "We could've done it BEFORE you decided to go all-all-promising on me!"
Finally, Tugger spoke. "Bombalurina, be serious! We are no where near serious enough to have sex."
Bombalurina stared at him. "Of course we were! I'm seriously in love with you!" she empathized the word 'seriously'.
Tugger gave an exasperated sigh. "Bombalurina, no your not!" she folded her arms across her chest. "You're not serious with me, but you're too serious when it comes to other things: you got in a fight with Silabub and you got in trouble for it!"
Bombalurina sat on the far end of the couch. he continued "Bombalurina...I don't think I can do this anymore."
She could feel the tears coming up. She tried to force them back. "You're breaking up with me?!" He didn't look at her. "I can't believe you're breaking up with me!" she whined, her pitch rising with every word.
"Um..yeah," Tugger said, avoiding eye contact.
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry...she repeated over and over again inside her head.
"look, I'm sorry."
She picked at a string on her shirt as to avoid looking at her now ex-boyfriend. She heard him get off the couch and get his jacket.
Moments later she felt him behind her. "Bye Bombalurina," Tugger said, placing a kiss on the top of her head.
Bombalurina waited until she heard the front door open and close to allow herself to cry.
