Sodapop's POV
That night, I had wished I wouldn't have ignored her request for me to stay with her. I missed her already, and after what had happened today, I would feel better if I was around. Which I guess didn't make much sense considering I wasn't much help to her, which I resented too, but it just made me feel better.
"Your girlfriend doesn't seem to like me all that much." Two-Bit laughed I rolled my eyes. Ponyboy walked in, Moby Dick in hand. I'd heard of that book but definitely never read it. Like I said earlier, I wasn't a big reader. I'd never finished a book in my life, not even no kid books.
"Because you were an ass, she's used to, when a guy's an ass he's going to hurt her, that's the life she's sort of lived." I sighed. Thinking about her made me want to be with her. I sighed and my shoulders slumped.
"Buddy, you know I'd never hurt a girl, especially your girl, like in any way ever." Two-Bit got a rare serious look on his face, letting me know he absolutely meant what he was saying.
"She is your girl right?" Darry walked in and sipped a chocolate milk. I was able to say yes, she was, not 'it's complicated' or some shit. I looked up at Darry coyly. He cracked a smile and messed with my hair. I smoothed my pride and joy right back. I was really wishing I could talk to her. Everyone teased me about her and asked me questions about her that I couldn't even remotely begin to answer. Like 'what do you think of her?' how was I supposed to answer that? I thought the world of her, well I guess it wasn't that hard to answer.
"Seems like you miss her already." Darry sighed with rare sympathy. Pony groaned and stomped out of the room. We all looked at each other including Steve who I had picked up when I had dropped off Amanda. We shrugged and I nodded a bit somberly. He must have been having girl troubles. Steve sprung up when the phone began to ring to go answer it the way he usually did. He did the usual hello who is this bit and then his eyebrows knit together in confusion.
"It's Evie, she wants to talk to you." A hint of rage in his voice. He always got jealous over Evie, which I didn't understand because Evie wouldn't even sputter the word cheat when talking about their relationship. But when Curly had started coming onto Mandy earlier, Steve's actions seemed to make sense. I got so jealous it was without a doubt not even funny. I understood where Steve was coming from now.
"Soda it's Evie, I was wondering, if you knew what Amanda woke up screaming about, I've never heard anything about this group of boys touching her, she talks in her sleep, so that's how I know that much but when she actually woke up she was crying and wouldn't tell me what she'd been screaming about. And she tells me everything, or at least I thought she did. Oh and she kept screaming your name and telling you not to leave her and that she didn't want to lose you in her sleep too." I gulped. How could I be happy about this? I was happy because I had an excuse to see her, and that she didn't want to lose me, but I was dying inside knowing how hard she had actually taken getting hurt so badly. Who could blame her though?
"I'll be right over." I said, she didn't say anything and hung up. I didn't even have to say anything and Darry just looked at me, he knew I would take the car after what had happened. But Darry surprisingly held me back. I looked at him and he shook his head I was so confused.
"Evie's dad called me and told me about the night of your blind date. You killed someone!? When did you plan on telling me?! I know why so in a way, that was really quite bold, but you put our family at risk." He said seriously, but he wasn't freaking out the way he normally would have. He knew this girl was extra special to me.
"I'm crazy about her Dar." I smiled at just the thought of Amanda. I really was dying to be with her.
"I get that, and that's why I'm going easy on you, I mean think about it Soda, you killed someone! You're lucky Jim, Mr. Montgomery is able to get you out of this or your ass would be grass. I nodded, truly taking in my older brother's words. He shooed me, letting me know I could go. I bolted for the door, not bothering to say bye to any of the guys. She was all that mattered right now. I pulled the car door open so fast it practically tore it right off. And I jammed the key into the ignition, not using the proper care that I usually gave the old car. I zoomed into the night, trying to trace my mind to remember exactly where Evie lived. I'd figure it out. I pulled into a couple drive ways on the street I knew was hers, I saw lights out in all of them, and then I saw the lights on in a house on but no sound. Then I saw a glimpse of Evie's one of a kind type of curl in her bleach blonde hair through the window, I knew it was her, I didn't even need to see her face. I hopped out and jogged to the doorway knocking only to hear Evie scream for me to come in I did and curiously walked in, putting my hands in my pockets awkwardly, noticing no one was downstairs. I started to walk up the stairs, praying that Evie's parents were still gone. I hadn't seen any cars out front, but you just never knew. The last thing I needed was Amanda's guardians taking a disliking to me, because I sure as hell wasn't gonna stay away from her, and I really couldn't afford to piss off one of the high ranked people at the Foster children's office or the Sherriff of Tulsa. But I crept up the stairs anyway, Amanda was worth all the risks. I started to hear murmuring and the curiosity burned and I picked up my speed. I stayed on the top stair. Not wanting whoever was talking to know I was listening.
"I thought you were kidding." I cringed as Amanda sobbed. Who was kidding about what?
"Of course I wasn't, I couldn't get through to you and you were going crazy, I mean come on Mandy you were moaning for him in your sleep. You obviously needed him for much more than some stupid dream. Something happened to you today Mandy, and I will get to the bottom of it no matter what." Evie explained in a soothing voice, though worry bursted through the seams of the tone. Evie really loved her best friend, and you could just tell that she was absolutely screaming with worry even when you weren't looking at her.
"But he-he can't, he can't see me like this, I'm a mess, he'll think I'm uglier than I already am." My jaw dropped in utter shock. Her? Ugly? She was anything but that, trust me. It killed me not to say anything, and I probably would have if I hadn't remembered they didn't know I was here yet.
"Shush Amanda Charlotte Furtado." Evie snapped. You could feel the pain seeping from the room, but I didn't know why or who was sad.
"I'm sorry Amanda I really didn't mean to, I know your mom gave you that middle name, I didn't mean it bad, honest, and I'm just worried." I decided now was a good time to go into the room.
"Hi Amanda." I sputtered. She looked up and I saw her face was swollen from crying. Her voice was scratchy like she was losing it from screaming so much.
"Hello, you don't want to see me like this, I don't want you to see me like this…" she trailed off and put her head between her legs, only then making me realize she was only in a T shirt, I gulped hard and looked up at the china dolls that lined the wall, trying to undo seeing that. She was really vulnerable right now, and I really didn't want to… well you know have them hormones kick in. I looked back down at her and she whimpered something under her breath. I sat on the edge of the bed and shoved my hands in my pockets again, it was really becoming a habit. She sighed and then gulped her eyes darted around the room.
"Sodapop, will you please stay with me tonight, we can talk, I know you have work in the morning but I, I feel scared for myself, it, it really scared me, Soda today I was more scared of them then I ever was of my dad, and I feel safer with you then I ever have before, wrapped in your arms. I know I've been a real stress, but please. I know I am wishy washy but it's only because I care what you think of me." She said sounding shy. I moved to sit by her on the bed.
"Of course babe, I'd love to talk to you, I could talk to you forever, being with you is the best feeling life has to offer and you're not a stress and the whole wishy-washy thing is totally normal for what you have been through." I decided to open up since she had too. I brought her into me and she settled into my chest me lying on a pillow and her still on my chest.
"Let's talk about everything." She smiled up at me her long black eyelashes fluttered unintentionally. I ran my hand through her long brown hair.
"I'd love that." I squeezed her arm. And she nuzzled into me more. I was so content being with her and talking with her that I'd completely forgotten she was without pants. And I was glad that I had, hormones couldn't get in the way of tonight she needed me in no other way but emotionally. And I tried my best to give her all the emotion I had. And I have to say, talking to her all night was the best night I had ever spent in my whole life to this day.
I woke up the next morning with her still asleep, she wasn't swollen anymore and her eyes were especially beautiful closed. A smiled appeared on her face, her eyes still shut. She still looked fast asleep. Evie had said that she talked in her sleep so I decided to see where this went.
"Soda.." she giggled. I felt myself turn red. She continued to talk, and I certainly didn't want to wake her up now. She yawned and I shut my eyes so it didn't look like I was listening to her. I peeked and her eyes were still shut, so I decided it was safe to open mine.
"You're… Amazing." She breathed hard and clutched my side. I knew she wasn't faking sleeping, I just knew, but it was genuine all the same, the smile said it all. Then to my disappointment, her smile faded. It was replaced with a worried look. Worried and scared. Her breath quickened.
"Don't leave me! I… need you…please!" she yelped starting to thrash her body across the bed, flailing her arms. That was all for this sleep talking session. I stilled her and she opened her eyes wearily. She smiled brighter than ever, and it wasn't fake. She wrung her arms around my shoulders. She pressed her smooth lips to my forehead.
"Morning, I'm glad you stayed, last night wasn't the best and you made it all better, by talking to me I mean. Here come on I'll make you some pancakes downstairs, then you can head to work, hm?" I nodded happily and she ran a hand through her hair, grabbed my hand and led me down the stairs. She still wore her T shirt, I was surprised she felt comfortable in that around me in that, but I was also flattered, not that she had anything to worry about. She took out a bowl and a spatula. She then went into a pantry and started taking out ingredients for the breakfast, she went in the fridge to get stuff too. She smiled at me and started to hum as she stirred the mix. She had an amazing voice, and she didn't even seem like she was trying. She looked into my eyes. She ran a hand through my hair.
"Time stands still, beauty and oh, he is, I will be brave I will not let an evening take away, but standing in front of me… every breath, every hour has come to this, one step closer, I have died every day waiting for you, darling don't be afraid I have loved you for a thousand years I'll love you for a thousand more…" she reddened and looked back down at the mix. A hint of a smile raced across her face but was gone in a flash. I was awe struck, that was astounding, and my jaw hung open showing my shock. She shrugged and giggled.
"Yeah I know it's bad, but I can dream can't I?" I realized she had taken my shock the wrong way.
"No, no Amanda, that was amazing you have an awesome voice, where'd you get that song? It was good, I've never heard it." I asked smiling at her. She scratched the back of her neck bashfully and touched my fore arm then looked up at me.
"I kind of wrote it." She smiled and then went back to stirring her bowl. I took the bowl away from her and set it on the counter and I brought her body to mine.
"I'm crazy about you, I hope you know that." She giggled and went on her tip toes and gave me the most eager kiss she'd ever given me, she stuck her tongue in my mouth and I hoisted her onto the counter, kissing her all the while. She pulled away and chuckled and then dove back in. We had to have been passionately kissing for at least ten minutes, only pulling away see we could gaze at each other and catch our breath. I really don't know how much longer we would have been there for, if someone wouldn't have interjected.
"Ok can you take your tongue out of her throat so I can carry on a conversation with my best friend?" I heard Evie snap. I pulled away as fast as I could and pulled her off the counter and she stretched her shirt down to its maximum length. So it was more like a dress. She wrapped her arms around my stomach and I put her head against my chest, but so she still faced Evie.
"Morning Evie." She sighed happily. I felt a shoot of excitement go through my body, I was making her happy. I didn't care that Evie was standing there, I tipped her head up and gave her a quick kiss, but it was just as passionate as the last twenty minutes had been. She gave me a dazzling smile and looked back at Evie she had a smirk on her face and was making a hand gesture, I'd rather not describe. Amanda pulled away, grabbed the spatula out of the bowl and whipped batter at Evie. I didn't know whether Evie would think it was funny or be pissed or maybe even both. She wiped the dab on her forehead, she looked more annoyed then anything, she shot Amanda a glare, the first negative gesture I had seen between the two. Amanda shook her head in disbelief.
"You really think I'm that easy, 'cause I am definitely not." She screamed. Evie took a step forward and put a hand on Amanda's shoulder. She sighed and shook her head, as if surrendering.
"I know you're not." I wished I would have saved myself. And I kind of wondered if she had. I had lost my virginity to Sandy, you know how that story goes. I wasn't like the other guys I'd planned on saving myself for the person I was going to marry. She'd been pressuring me for months, but I never did until I thought I'd been in love with her. So I lost my virginity to someone who didn't even care about the way I did them. That didn't seem too fair to me, but I had gotten over it mostly by then. After hearing Amanda was a virgin, but I had already guessed that before, she was a really wholesome girl who wouldn't settle for a scummy first time, and who could blame her? I was gonna back off, I wouldn't be like Steve and Two-Bit, she deserved better than that, I mean loved them like brothers, but come on.
"Whatever Evie I didn't do it with him, believe it or not, just because you're in a bedroom with a boy, doesn't mean that it happens." Amanda rolled her eyes and Evie did the same. I rubbed Amanda's back and she went back to stirring the batter.
"I'm making pancakes if you want some Evie." She stated monotony. Evie nodded and went upstairs to what I assumed was to clean the raw pancake off of her. I wrapped my arms around her waist as she faced the stove. Evie bounded into the room and smiled, a newly changed outfit. And a new attitude.
"You guys are so cute together, I love it." Evie cried. I pecked the top of Amanda's head and she just kept right on baking. Evie sighed and then her eyes lit up as if she was a little kid at the Tulsa fair and she'd laid her eyes on the cotton candy.
"Oh Amanda, you know what want you to do…" she said slyly. Amanda rolled her eyes. And giggled under her breath. I didn't know what it meant but I decided to go with it.
"Don't you always…" she sighed, pretending to be annoyed. "Someday my prince will come. Someday when spring is here, we'll find our loved one and how thrilling that moment will be…" she stopped and laughed. I knew that song! Two-Bit's little sister watched Snow White all the time.
"Snow White!" I accidentally exclaimed out loud. Evie tittered and Amanda turned from the oven and smiled at me. I shrugged. That was definitely not gonna go in the macho section of her notes about me, if she even had one.
"Someday my Prince will come from Snow White!" she breathed happily still looking at me. I gulped and decided to take a chance.
"Will you be my Snow White?" I asked. She wrung her hands around my neck. She bit her lip and messed with my hair.
"Only if you'll be my Prince Charming." She said playfully. She didn't even need to ask. I smiled down at her and caressed her chin.
"I couldn't think of anything I'd want more." I sighed. I leaned down and kissed her and I seemed to forget it all and I got lost in her beautiful, her beautiful everything.
"Hey Snow White your pancakes are burning." Evie laughed. She practically choked on our kiss and turned around. To save her precious pancakes. I laughed and she bit the inside of her cheek nervously, causing me to shut up. Evie tapped us both.
"I swear is there a time when you love birds aren't kissing?" Evie shook her head with a smile. I looked at Amanda who was already looking at me. We both shrugged. Evie was right but it wasn't her and Steve's idea of kissing.
"Not really." We said in unison. We laughed and I rewrapped my arms around her waist while she tried to save the pancakes.
After breakfast I waited on the couch for her to get changed and ready to go, we were both two hours late for our nine o'clock shifts that we'd forgotten about. My boss Dave is a hard ass but tardy is something he lets slide for me since he knew about my family situation. I'd hoped he'd let two hours slide. I really needed this job.
"Ok Sodapop, I just talked to Anna over the phone, she was obviously wondering where I was. And she said she'd come pick me up and take me to work so you can work faster." She smiled, pulling her jeans up. I shook my head vigorously. And her nose scrunched up. I thought it was sexy when she scrunched it all up like that.
"Really, I can take you, I want to take you." I said. She laughed under her breath about something and came and stood in front of me, I still was in my spot of the couch.
"That's good because I already said no." she bit her lip and started to play with her fingers, as if ashamed. Without thinking I brought her onto my lap, she was tensed. I immediately, but lightly pushed her off of me. She turned around and gave me a pouty face, and crossed her arms over her chest.
"I wasn't done sitting there." She rolled her eyes, exaggerating her irritation. I smiled and she straitened her shirt.
"Well, well then, it's still available." I flirted with her. She plopped her little body down on my lap. She was hot, even if she didn't think so, she was definitely prettier than Evie, not that I'd ever tell Evie herself that. And definitely not Steve. I thought it was obvious that she was the prettiest girl alive. She was perfect height and had a good length on her hair. I always never thought I was to be so lucky as to spend every night talking to this amazing girl, amazing woman every single night, just like that very night had gone down. Even if I did have sneak through her window to stay the night with her, again not the way Evie and Steve thought staying the night with your girlfriend would be. She told me everything, we talked about the most random stuff, but it always seemed interesting, probably because it was about her. I loved learning new things about her. She still hadn't been to my house. And I wasn't going to pressure her into it, although the gang really wanted to get to know her better, especially Darry, but that was mostly because he wanted to know who I was spending all my free time with. She was everything that my past girlfriends weren't. And if you couldn't put two and two together, that was a mighty good thing.
That next month….
"Ok I really have to go." Amanda said breathlessly. We were in my car in front of Evie's house, she was past the curfew her new parents had set for her, I'd made her late by roping her into staying in the car to kiss for a few more minutes, which had of course turned into an hour. I sighed and slumped down in the driver's seat. I didn't want her to leave, even though I'd see her in ten minutes when she pulled me through her window so we could do our usual talking all night sessions.
"Do you have to?" I whined like a five year old. She laughed, nodded, then gave me a sloppy 'See you in a few' kiss and slid out of the truck. Her tight black skirt went up as she did. I couldn't help but look. She straightened it down and gave me a glare, a smirk to follow just a second later.
"I saw that Mr. Curtis." She said Mr. Curtis when she flirted usually. I laughed and gave her a devilish smile. She rolled her eyes and crossed her arms, shaking her head disapprovingly. Giving me a small wave, she darted for the front door. Evie's house had a big front window with no curtains for whatever reason, so you could see the gist of what was going on in the room. She walked in and annoyed sheriff Montgomery shook his head, disappointed in Amanda. She went into an excuse filled session of babbling, I knew her well enough to know that was exactly what she was doing. He sighed and looked out the window. I looked away quickly, but I knew they saw me. Soon enough Amanda knocked on the car window, I opened the door and got out to talk to her.
"Yes Amanda?" I semi flirted. She breathed a laugh but quickly brushed it off. She picked at her thumb nail, which she only did when she was nervous. I tilted her chin up so she made eye contact with me. She huffed and looked around nervously.
"It's Uncle Jim, h-he wants to meet you, like-like alone." Her eyes widened in terror at her own words. My palms started to sweat, she really did have a reason to be nervous, I rubbed the back of my neck nervously, she gazed up at me, pleading in her eyes.
"Let's do this thing Mandy." I squeezed her hand. She squealed with delight, she kissed my cheek and led me up to the door, still holding my hand. We reached the porch. She squeezed my hand once more and I followed her into the house she told me to take a seat in the living room and I watched as she ran up the stairs.
"Hello son." A gruff voice growled, I looked up to see Sheriff, he was loading a gun and setting it to the side, where it rested on the side of the rocking chair he'd been sitting in. He got up and changed his seating area to the couch, he pointed to the seat next to him and I immediately did so. He crossed his arms over his chest.
"So, Sodapop is it, my name is Jim, but you're not allowed to call me that, its sheriff for now." His eyes narrowed. I gulped hard. And he looked at me as if expecting an answer. I just nodded, not wanting to risk saying the wrong thing.
"Now Amanda's something else aint she?" he chuckled, seeming like he was going to soften up. I smiled as I thought about her.
"She really is Ji- I mean sheriff." He smoothed his mustache and put his head between his hands.
"Yeah so, Sodapop, you only get two questions. But they ain't gonna be easy." I nodded and he continued. "Number one, where is Amanda on your priority list?" he wasn't kidding, these were going to be hard. I made sure to keep a straight face. I didn't want to risk him not liking me in any way.
"She-she's my… Everything sir." I mumbled. Sheriff nodded as if saying the answer was good enough for him.
"Do you see a future with her, because if you don't you best not break my little girl's heart, or trust me you will be so sorry you can't see straight." My eyes bulged, I had never really thought about our future surprisingly. But now that I did, I knew from the beginning I didn't want to lose her. And the more I thought the more I realized I'd love to be married to a girl like Amanda, to her.
"Yes sir, definitely, I would never hurt your um…" I struggled for a word, I didn't want to call her his daughter that might make things awkward, so I decided not to say anything and let him fill in the blank. He gestured for me to just continue.
"I'd never hurt her, I really wouldn't, I think I'm in with love her." I practically mouthed, it was a lower tone then the night Amanda's dad died. The rest of the conversation went really fast and he quickly told me to leave and have a safe trip home, little did he know, I'd be back in his house any minute.
"They'll hear us!" Amanda giggled as I tickled her all over her body, but I kept on going, the parent's bedroom was downstairs, I knew when it would be time to stop. I shushed her and kissed her on the cheek to make sure she'd be quiet. And then I realized she was wearing a V neck and I won't lie, her um… breasts were huge. Not meaning to, I stopped and stared. Without a word she got up and put her arms over them, a mix of embarrassment and anger flooded her face. She sat on the leather two-person Sofa to the side of the room and stretched out purposefully so I couldn't sit by her, but that didn't stop me I sat across from her on the floor, she shook her head and faced the way so she didn't have to look at me. I felt guiltier than ever before.
"Look I'm really sorry about this, can you ever forgive me?" I asked, how could I have been such a pig? Amanda had trusted me, to touch her body after explaining her rules and limits, and one of those rules was if I was going to cuddle with her every night, I would have nothing to do with parts she marked off limits, and she'd stressed this part of her body, no touching no talking about and no looking at her boobs, well at least while we were together, like this, supposed to be talking or sleeping, and I'd broken her trust. She got up so she was tightly sitting in the corner of the couch, bringing her knees to her chest and hugging them.
"Sure why not? You just showed me your like every other guy in Tulsa, and you know what they all have in common, they want one thing and one thing only, and no matter how much they care about a girl, they can't just.. They can't just leave it alone. So just go home." She huffed. Her voice never got annoyed, she always sounded happy, even when she wasn't. I tried to rest my hand on her leg but she wacked it away, she was really mad. I racked my mind for something to say, I wasn't going to be like the other guys for her. I wasn't going to leave.
"I'm going to wait for you Amanda, but I'm only human, and I'm a boy, I truly can't help it, but I'm doing the best I can, it's not my fault you're so beautiful." She blushed and slid off the couch and onto my lap, I pressed her head against my chest and she squeezed my arm.
"You're definitely not the other boys in Tulsa Sodapop, I'm sorry. At least you are willing to wait for me." She kissed my cheek, then put her head back on my chest. I rubbed her lower waist. She looked as if she were debating to do something in her mind I nudged her so she'd tell me what was up.
"I did something for you Sodapop, and I really don't know whether I should show you, and I definitely shouldn't be doing it in the middle of the night, but I really want to." I pressed to know what was going on until she finally blurted what was going on. And what was going on, left me speechless.
"I have a book of songs that I have written and played on the guitar, I mean if you don't want to hear that's fine too, but I'm offering to show you them Soda to show how much I care about you, I mean I have never shown them to anyone Soda, not even Evie." I was taken aback. I was in love with this amazing girl, I didn't think I was, I knew I was. But I wanted to tell her that I loved her in a special way. Then it hit me.
Four nights before (Start)
"Truth or dare Amanda Charlotte." I smiled as I ran my hand up and down her back, I got nervous when I felt my other hand brush against her butt accidentally, she didn't notice and I moved it immediately before she did. She moved and sat on my chest, she caressed the shape of my lips. I knew she was just trying to be playful, but she had no idea how much it was killing me, and not because of her weight.
"Truth." She said, leaning forward and breathing the word on my lips. I gulped hard. My question was really deep and I kind of felt bad for asking it. She rolled off and gazed out the curtain less window and sighed. I took her hand and she squeezed it.
"Have you ever told a boy you loved them." I asked. As soon as I did, I regretted it. I didn't want to make her feel bad or anything if she hadn't. And if you want me to be honest, I kind of wanted to be her first love, which I know seems selfish, because she couldn't be, mine but still.
"Ok, please don't judge me Soda." She quivered. I pulled her closer to me and rested a hand on the small of her back. She sighed in a here goes nothing kind of way.
"I'm a virgin and I have never actually told a boy that I loved him." she said, running her words together. I couldn't judge her for that. I lightly traced the shape of her face, and started to kiss her all over that beautiful face.
"I could never judge you babe." I said between kisses. She smiled a moment and I rolled her over onto her back, she gave me a warning look and I backed off so she could choose how she felt most comfortable. I didn't want to pressure her into anything. It was all up to her. She glanced at the wall clock, you could just make out the numbers on it from the moon light that shown through the window, it was four AM already. She took a deep breath and yawned. And for the first time ever she pressed her buttery lips to the top of my chest.
"I'm gonna go to bed baby." She sighed, turning to face the other side of the room. I tapped her shoulder and she hazily looked over at me. I gulped as I prepared to ask the question. I was nervous as hell.
"If someone told you they were in love with you, how would you want them to say it?" I asked. She took a heavy breath and grabbed my hand lightly. She tapped her chin with her other hand's pointer finger. And smiled as she thought.
"Well, Soda, I would want them to write me a song about their love for me, to show that they really do love Me. Now good night Soda." She kissed my cheek and instead of turning to face the other way, buried her head and cuddled into my chest.
Four Nights Before (End)
That was it. I could write her a song, she'd been teaching me how to play the guitar, I could probably learn to do something simple and sweet for her, but I would have to take her guitar without her knowing, which I probably wouldn't have trouble doing, I'd gotten a few tips from Two-Bit on shop lifting, but unlike Two, I would be returning the item. I kissed her head and nodded excitedly, how did she feel about us? I gulped hard hoping she felt the same way as I did. She grabbed her guitar out of the corner of the bedroom and a small, brown, leathery book. She opened it to about the middle and sighed.
"I w-wrote th-this about us." She sputtered, not looking me in the eye. I lifted her light body easily and set her back on my lap. Wrapping my arms around her skinny waist. She blushed and bit her lip.
"Soda…" she giggled. I pressed my lips to her neck for the first time. She pushed me onto my back and laid on top of me. I gazed at her wondering how I was so lucky to have a girl as wonderful as her.
