I took a deep breath as I saw the black haired man stalk towawrd me, he smiled "Courtney?" I smiled back. "Duncan?" We laughed.
"You look so... Wow!" I stubbed.
"Yeah, I know. Different. like about four and a half months ago a cut off the Mohawk and took out the piercings. I don't know why but hey I kind of like the new look.Do you like it?" I can tell he tried not to say the day we broke up or anything close to that.
"Yeah, It is fine. Perfect." I wasn't registering anything he said after Mohawk.
"Well, you said meet me at the park, so I am taking you to the park, come on get it." He opened the car door for me. There was a girl in the car, about a year younger than me. Her hair was unnaturally blond and she had blue eyes. I smiled at her. She looked me up and down then stated to file her nails. I didn't want to mess with her. When Duncan got in the car he said "Cheryl" he pointed to her and then to me "Courtney". I put my arm out as a gesture of hand shaking. She looked at my hand and looked away. "Okay."
"Cheryl, be nice." She looked at me and said "Hey" I gave her a weak smile.
The ride was quiet. I looked at Duncan from the rear-view mirror. He looked so different I wanted the old Duncan. But obviously he wanted Cheryl.
He parked the car in the parking lot and opened my door. He extended his hand "For my Princess." I smiled. When I got out of the car Duncan opened the drivers side and threw the keys to Cheryl. "Go back home" I looked confused because I sure know that I was.She got out of the car and went to the drivers side then drove off, it was the weirdest thing I ever saw.
We walk to the bench, "So what was that all about?" I asked him.
"What do you mean?" He asked back.
"I mean you giving the keys to Cheryl and telling her to go back home" I was honestly confused.
"You jealous?" He asked. I was about to speak when he said "Well don't be, remember my sister, the goody two shoes with red hair named Roseanne?" I nodded. "That's her" My eyes opened
"She changed her name and died her hair? Wow. She isn't too fond of me. is she?" I asked.
"No, not really. She is all mad because you... you. just drop it ok?"
"Okay. But still. I can't believe how unawkward this is." I took a deep breath.
"I know, so what did you want to talk about." He asked me.
"The letters," I looked up at him. "I read them yesterday. I tried to get you out of my life...completely. The my mom asked me why I broke up with you. I told her that I had no idea why. She told me to read the letters so when I did I realized something." I looked back down at my hands.
"Well, the letters were all true. The last one was really hard to send out. But, I did. I never actually got over you." I could feel his glare on my head. I looked up. "I thought that I did" I can't believe that I was saying this "Duncan, I still like you a lot"
"Now there is only one question I need you to answer" he smiled at me.
"And what would that be?" I asked
"Would you like to get back together with me." I looked up at the clouds and closed my eyes. I felt a tear trickle down my left eye. I turned to Duncan, "I would" He looked at me, "It is okay I'll just go on home."
He got up and walked away. He was getting further from me. I got up and ran toward Duncan. When I caught up to him, I did what any sane person would do. I grabbed his shoulder. He turned around. I kissed him hard. I could feel him smirk under the kiss. I ran my fingers through his hair. I felt his hand on my lower back pulling me in closer. We stood like that for at least 7 minutes.
He broke the kiss. "Does that answer your question?" He smiled.
"Of Course." He pulled me into a big bear hug.
"I am sorry, so sorry. I didn't know that. I made a mistake, I..." He cut me off
"No, don't be sorry. Okay honestly do you like my hair?" I gave him a weird look.
"Honestly? No." He smiled as he stocked his hair.
"Okay let's get this hair cut!" I smiled at him.
"You seem so different, did you know that? You seem happy not like that rude delinquent I hooked up with at camp." He smiled. "And you smile a lot."
"I don't know. Being away from you changed me. Instead of being all tough I became soft. I don't know. I did miss being rude, the worst thing I did was get a parking ticket" He explained.
"Wow, you were really bad ass." He laughed I reached over and grabbed his hand." I really did miss you."
"I missed you too...so, did you get into any schools? What am I saying of course you did" I smiled, he was too nice.
"Well, I got a letter from USC and UCLA. No where else though. I haven't opened it yet. Want to go my house we can look if I got accepted!"
"Courtney, is anyone home." He asked me.
"Call me Princess. My mom is at work and my sister is going out with..." I couldn't help but to change my voice back into the sexy montage one "Taylor."
"What was that all about?" He tried to copy my sexy montage voice "Taylor" I laughed.
"My sister. I think she already left. "My house is a couple blocks away, let's go"
"Princess, If we are at your house by ourselves we won't be talking."OH Duncan is back.
"Let's just go." He put his hand on my waist and pulled me closer to him.
I opened the door. The living room was dark. I walked toward the counter (where the switch was) and flipped it on. I felt his lips on my neck, I shivered. "Duncan, stop it! please."
"I don't want to." Duncan pinned my against the counter.
"Let's fix your hair" I knew that he would go for that. "Let's see stay still." I ran up stairs to get the gel. I heard the door bell ring "Can you get that?"
"Sure" I heard Duncan walk toward the door.
"Hey, I have a date with a lovely lady," Who was this fool.
"Sure you do" Duncan closed the door in the guys face.I ran down the stairs "who was that."
"Some guy said he had a date with you." What a loser. "do you?"
"No" I felt like gagging. I opened the door "Hey you?"
"Hey Mia" I looked at this guy.. Mia that was my sister not me.
"I am not..." he cut me off with his lips. I pushed him off of me. "Hey, what is your problem?" Duncan clenched his fist.
"I can't kiss my leading lady?" He put his arm around me. Duncan clenched his other fist.
"You can. But I am not Mia. I am her sister!" His eyes widened.
"Sorry, ugh. Is Mia home?" He asked
"How can you confuse me and Mia we look nothing alike." I said ignoring his question.
"My friend said she was hott, that is all!" He looked hopeful
I pointed to the door "Get out, now"
"Let me at least..." Duncan cut him off "Get OUT!"
Duncan closed the door and locked it. "that settles that, I am guessing that is Taylor."
"Probably." I made and ugly face, "that means that Mia is here." I ran up stairs. Mia was on her bed listening to music.
I knocked on her door, "Taylor was here, He said that he heard you were hott and though that I was you so he kissed me!" Mia looked grossed out.
"That is okay, I never really got to know him and he kind of sounds like he was trying to get into my pants." She shrugged. Why were people taking things exceptionally well. Maybe my life was coming together or about to fall apart either way I didn't care. I walked to the top stairs to see Duncan sitting on the couch.
"Hey, come up here!" He walked towards the stairs. I gave him a smile. We was right next to me in a matter of seconds... "Now about your hair." He smirked
"Just get it over with." I grabbed his hand and dragged him to the bathroom.
