Am I With You? Or Am I With You?

Johnny woke up the next morning, tired than ever. He didn't feel like going in for work, so he called in. After doing so, he jumped in the shower. He stood under the shower head, and closed his eyes; he started to immediately think about Alli. Johnny bowed his head, opening his eyes. His hair stuck to his face, and hung lightly like a wet blond curtain.

Johnny really liked this girl, hell he liked her a lot. But there was one problem holding him back. He hasn't been in a relationship for a long time, and he didn't want to ruin anything. Johnny muttered inaudible words under his breath and he soon turned the shower off. He stepped out, dried off, and changed into a different pair of clothes.

He checked the time, realizing that it was around twelve, and thought about calling Alli, but he pondered on it, thinking she was still asleep around this time.

Alli had also just gotten out of the shower, after going for a run she had felt the need to wash off, dressed she sat on her bed and tied her hair up into a messy pony tail, her mind drifting to a certain blond haired man. She like him so much it was kind of retarded, looking at her phone she grabbed it and checked if there was any new messages.

Seeing none she searched her contacts and found his name, thinking he was at work and sending him a message would be safe, since he probably wouldn't be able to check it for a while she clicked send message and wrote one out, she erased it three times before figuring out what to say.

"Hey, I hope you're having a good day. I had a great time last night. Talk to you soon.
-Alli "
Reading it again she clicked send and watched as it sent and then she rested her phone on the bed walking around her room cleaning up a barely there mess.

Johnny glanced over at his phone that lay on the counter, pulling the small gallon of 2 percent milk from his lips. He twists the cap back on and shoved the gallon into the fridge. He closed the door and walked to his phone, checking the new text message he had received from Alli. Johnny smirked and he sent her a text back.

"I had a good time too, I called in for work today, and I didn't feel like going. Are we still hanging out today?"
-Johnny

He closed his phone after sending the message and placed it on the counter. Johnny walked around, and raked his fingers through his still damp hair and waited patiently for his phone to begin buzzing again.

Alli looked over as her phone started playing just tonight by the pretty reckless, making a dash for it she grabbed it and read through his message, not stopping the foolish smile that spread over her face, god she had it bad. Reaching over to her bedside table she pushed play on the remote to her stereo waiting as music filled her room.

"I'm still game if you are, what time?"
-Alli

She set her phone down after setting it to vibrate since she wouldn't be able to hear it over the music but as she waited for his response she looked down at her yoga pants and tank top. She was going to have to change.

Johnny glanced over at his phone that was vibrating on the coffee table; he reached up after setting the T.V. remote down next to him. He grabbed it and read the text. He thought about it, and decided it would be best to hang out in a few hours, for he had some stuff to do before hand. Johnny sent her a text back.

"Okay good, I have some stuff to do first, so how about at four?"
-Johnny

He closed his phone and got up from the couch, heading back to his room to get dressed.

Alli licked her lips and picked her phone up reading it, she thought about how long it would take for her to do what she needed and then nodded to herself. Four would give her time to finish cleaning and get dressed.

"Four is good, are you meeting me here, or shall we meet somewhere else?"
-Alli

She almost deleted that but before she got the chance she hit enter and the message sent, groaning she shook her head, she seemed so desperate...hopefully he didn't think she was though. She really didn't want him to think she was just like all the other girls, she wasn't.

Johnny pulled his shirt over his head, and grabbed his phone, reading the text. He pulled his pants on, and responded to her text quickly.

"I'll come pick you up :)
-Johnny

He finished getting dressed and pulled his shoes on, and then headed out the front door.

Alli sent a quick okay and finished cleaning her room, she finished her paper that was due next week and then looked through her closet for something to wear. Grabbing a pair of jeans she tossed them to her bed and then grabbed a black and purple striped sweater, and a lacy cami to go under it.

Nodding to herself she quickly changed looking at her face she sighed, make-up or no make-up. Deciding on wearing some makeup she put on some foundation, mascara and clear lip gloss. Looking at the clock she grabbed her coat and bag and headed down stairs she had ten minutes till he was supposed to be here.

Johnny placed black beanie over his head and he turned the ignition on and quickly pulled out of the parking lot. He drove in the direction of Alli's house. He gave himself two points because he had such good memory, and he automatically remembered where it was that Alli lived.

It didn't take him long to arrive at her house.

Alli was currently leaving her house when he pulled into her drive way she had a scowl on her pretty face and Sav was standing in the doorway, turning her head she stopped. "Sav, just stop being an asshole! I don't say anything to you when you go hang out with Holly J."

He said something and she shook her head. "I'll see you later." With that she walked down the path and headed towards Johnny's car ignoring the slamming door. He wouldn't tell their parents because then he'd have to admit he was still seeing Holly J from time to time.

Opening the door to the car she leaned in smiling. "Hey stranger."

Johnny smiled a little.

"What's going on? You're not in trouble are you?" He asked, catching the sight of her arguing with someone. He never moved from the spot on her driveway, keeping the motor running.

Alli shook her head, and slipped into the passenger seat. "No, my brother is just being...well a big brother." She shrugged and smiled buckling her seat belt up. "He just want's me to be safe." she rolled her eyes and looked at him.

"So where are we off to Dimarco?" She smirked a little as she used his last name, she didn't have any nicknames for him yet so it would work. She leaned forward and lifted her hands over the heater warming them up.

"Well I was thinking we could get something to eat, and then go to this one place... the uhh ravine." Johnny responded as he pulled out of the driveway, and headed down the road.

"It's your choice wherever you want to eat."

Alli thought about all the places there were to eat but just shrugged. "I'd love a coffee from the dot, and the food is good there too." She didn't know where the ravine was but she had heard of it, and if she had heard right about it, a lot of things happened there.

Smiling hoping that blush on her cheeks wasn't that obvious she just looked out the window. "Is the dot okay?"

Johnny nodded.

"The Dot's fine." He smiled a little, glancing at her for a brief moment.

Considering Alli lived close to the dot the ride was rather short and before she knew it she was getting out of Johnny's car waiting for him to come around the side so they could walk into the dot together, luckily it was a lot warmer today than it had been.

But she knew that it was going to drop down again, and she wondered if she was going to freeze her ass off tonight or not.

Johnny walked before Alli so he could open the door for her, and he followed her inside after she walked in. He looked around for a place to sit, and soon found an empty booth. Johnny made his way over to it, and sat down, waiting for Alli to join him. He had started to already glance at the menu, trying to find something he would like to eat.

Alli followed him taking a seat on the bench and grabbing the menu; she glanced at everything and tapped what she had decided what she wanted. "So what have you done today?" She asked with a small smile, she knew her day had been pretty uneventful.

"Too be honest, nothing." Johnny laughed and placed the menu down in front of him after he had decided what he wanted to get.

He glanced up at her and asked, "What about you?"

"I went for a jog and cleaned my room." She said with a small smile. When the waitress came over she ordered some fries and a double double coffee, she wrote it down and then took Johnny's order before walking away again.

"I usually go jogging on the weekends but it was so nice today, I went anyway." She said rambling a bit.

"I'm not much of a jogger, ha ha, but I will go to the gym every now and then." Johnny responded. He gave a small shrug and added, "I think I'm going to stop because I don't like the idea of me being so damn ripped."

He laughed lightly.

Alli chuckled and shook her head. "Cute." She shrugged and took her coffee as it was set in front of her. "I didn't used to do anything but, my friend and I started before she found out she was pregnant, and since then I've continued with it."

Jenna had begged her to run with her to work off the weight she was gaining and then she found out she was pregnant. Now they barely had time for coffee let alone a jog together.

"Me? Cute, pfft." Johnny playfully rolled his eyes. He took his soda and plopped the straw in the glass, and then took a sip of it. Johnny cleared his throat and sighed a little. He reached into his pocket, feeling his phone vibrate and he frowned lightly.

Alli smirked. "You are cute." She busied herself stirring her coffee a blush on her cheeks; she heard the soft vibrate of a phone as it went off. "You can check it, I don't mind."

Stuff like that used to make her jealous but she was convinced that she was better than that now and she wasn't going to get jealous over texts or anything else. Not anymore.

"Thanks, I'll be back, I'm getting a call." Johnny pulled his phone out of his pocket and he exited The Dot, answering the call.

Alli watched him walk out of the dot, and sighed resting her head in her hand. She smiled her thanks as their food was placed on the table, grabbing the ketchup she put some in the corner of her plate and picked at her plate as she waited for him to return.

She hated sitting alone, it made people think you were a loser...she wasn't but that was cool, she smiled at someone she had gone to school with at one time and then went back to picking at her plate.

Johnny walked back inside the Dot and he sat down in front of her, pulling his plate in front of him. He remained quiet for a few minutes and ate slowly.

"Something wrong?" Alli asked softly noticing his demeanour had changed completely. She wasn't sure if it was something she had done or if it was the phone call he had just gotten. She popped a fry into her mouth and chewed.

"Huh, oh no it's nothing." Johnny laughed nervously and poured some ketchup over the fries, before popping a few into his mouth.

Alli sighed and nodded her head. Letting a slightly awkward silence settle around them, she wasn't sure what had happened but she didn't like it. Finishing her food she pushed her plate to the side and rested her chin on her hand.

"So the ravine?"

Johnny looked up and he blinked a few times. He then realized she was asking about it, and he sat upright.

"Yeah, it's just this place where kids go to hang out. It's pretty great, there's normally a fire so we wouldn't freeze our asses off immediately."

Alli chuckled and smiled at him. "I was actually worried about freezing my ass off. I don't have much of one, and I'd miss it if it were to be frozen off." She grinned a little and sipped her coffee again.

Johnny laughed.

"I beg to differ about your ass." He looked down, and realized what he had just said. Okay so he's been checking her out, but it's not bad. He is a guy after all.

Alli blushed but smiled. "Thanks." she thought it was kinda cute how bashful he seemed to get, Drew was so rude at times even when it came down to a complement. "You've looked then." God this boldness was going to get her in trouble.

"All the time." Johnny responded.

Alli smirked and licked her lips, that were suddenly dry, her face also felt warm but that was all part of the flirting..."All the time, that's a lot of looking." She smiled a bit as the waitress came and took away empty plates and glasses asking if they wanted the bill.

She looked at him and nodded her head yes, she wanted to see what this Ravine was really all about.

"Yeah I try not to; I don't want to seem that much of a perv." Johnny responded as he took his wallet out, getting ready to pay for everything.

Alli chuckled. "I don't think you're a perv." And she didn't she actually liked that the guy she was into at least liked her body enough to take a second look, and right now she was pretty sure he liked her the same way she liked him. Slipping into her coat, which she had removed earlier.

She watched him pay and then stood looking at him. "Shall we go?"

"Yes we shall." Johnny stated as he followed her out of the Dot.

Alli smiled again and headed to his car. "Is it close enough to walk?" She wasn't even sure where it was, but she was kind of excited about the idea of getting to go see something new. She let him walk a bit in front of her so she could do her own checking out, he had a great ass...

She really needed a girlfriend she could gush about all this too...She'd have to call Clare or Jenna later and tell them all about him, keeping it to herself was so hard.

"Yeah it's pretty close, it's this way I believe." Johnny said as he walked down the sidewalk, heading before Alli. He reached into his pocket, pulled his phone out, and went through his messages, making sure he got the directions right from a friend he had texted yesterday.

Alli frowned and caught up to him. "You don't know...Should I be worried?" She asked with a small frown watching him look through his messages, she slipped her hands into her pockets stopping herself from reaching out and taking his hand, she didn't want to make the first move...

"Ha ha, I sort of know. I remember my friend telling me about it yesterday. Ah, okay now I remember." He closed his phone and turned around, making his way to an open trail.

Alli followed slightly behind him making sure she didn't trip on anything by looking at her feet, the smell of burning wood, cigarettes', weed and booze filled the air, it would have made her frown two years ago but this wasn't new to her.

She spotted some people looking at her and she moved a little closer to Johnny, ignoring a whistle and someone asking if she was single tonight.

"Is this okay? We can go hang out somewhere else if you want." Johnny stated. He didn't want her to feel uncomfortable with her.

"No this is fine." She wanted to see him in his own environment and if that meant having to deal with people whistling and asking her awkward questions than so be it. "I don't mind places like this really."
She offered him a small smile and remained close to his side.

"Okay good." Johnny responded with a small sigh of relief. He reached into his back pocket, and pulled out a packet of cigarettes, and then sat down in an empty seat in front of the fire. Johnny hoped that she didn't mind he smoked, he doesn't often, but he really wanted to at this moment.

Alli smiled and took a seat beside him. She watched the people around them, she didn't care if he smoked that was his thing, she wouldn't smoke but whatever. She frowned when someone smelling like they were wearing a beer sat really close to her.

She moved closer to Johnny, and then frowned when said guy started taking to him. "Johnny, my man! It's been so long, and who's this sweet thang?" Alli blinked and looked between the two, he looked familiar...but she wasn't sure, she usually avoided the kids who looked like bullies.

"Hey Bruce." Johnny responded.

"And this is Alli." He added, turning to her.

Alli smiled and waved a bit. "Hi Bruce." She wasn't sure if she wanted him any closer but he moved a bit brushing her with his leg and she moved closer to Johnny, if she got any closer she was going to be sitting in his lap.

"Is she with you, bud?" He asked ignoring how she moved away from him, leaning over her so he was closer to Johnny. "You dog you."

Johnny glared at Bruce and he glanced over at Alli, noticing how uncomfortable she was getting. Johnny wrapped his arm around her shoulders and he said, "Yes she's with me. I'd appreciate if you lay off her." Johnny wasn't the jealous or hardly the protective type, but something about Alli made him think otherwise.

Alli smiled a bit at the tone in his voice; at least she knew he had her back. She watched as his friend leaned away from her and nodded his head. "Sorry bro I wasn't sure." He said giving her some more room.

But Alli stayed against his side, waiting until the other was talking to someone else before looking at Johnny. "So I'm with you, or I'm just with you..." She asked with a small frown trying to figure it out.
