We got in the car, yet again.
"So where are we going to next?" I asked as I buckled my seat belt.
"Anxious, aren't we?" Duncan turned the car on.
"Maybe..." I looked out the window, not believing what I was saying.
"Flirtatious, aren't we?" Duncan drove out of the beach parking lot.
"Listen, I am not flirting, with..with you. And if you want to call it that, well that is the most flirtatious thing you will get." I started to play with my flingers.
"Right," Duncan's voice was filled with sarcasm, "and that maybe wasn't just a maybe?" He started to tap the steering wheel as if he were tapping to the beat of a drum.
"No...ugh(NO-AH)!!!!" I felt like punching him because of the way he was twisting my words.
"Hey, my name is Duncan, Noah isn't here. As a matter a fact, I do not know a Noah, do you?" I could feel Duncan staring at me. It was kind of creepy. Like when you play hide-and-go seek, when you hide you can never look at the person that in seeking from your hiding place or else they would find you.
"Nevermind,"I slapped my forehead.
"Don't get your panties in a bunch, we'll be there in about five minutes,"Duncan started to chuckle, "well with my driving!"
My eyes shot open and I wearily asked, "Wait, Duncan...What do you mean by that?"
Duncan smirked, "You'll see" He drove onto the freeway. I looked at the speedometer, he was speeding up about 45 miles.
My heart speed up and I began to grab the armrest with my left hand. "Duncan, I really think you should slow down now" I clenched the seat belt with my right hand.
"You'll be alright, I do this all the time. Plus, no one is one the free way, were are the only one here."Duncan looked over at me, "scarred Princess?"
"NO, no I am alright" I took a deep breath, knowing that I'll have to live these 5 minutes going 110 miles a hour.
"Oh, then you won't mind this!" Duncan stopped the car in less than 10 seconds, Put his hand to the clutch, revved the engine, and moved the handbrake up and down. At first it was very strange then after a while I figured out what he was doing but by this time it was too late.
We were going in a circle, making a doughnut or a burnout and I reluctantly was screaming my heart out.
Duncan was 'preforming' his little trick for about 30 seconds until he finally stopped.
Duncan started to laugh, "If you think that was scary then I don't think that you would want to hang out with me"
I was out of breath from all the screaming and my hair was probably standing straight up, "I never wanted to hang out with you! I was DARED into this"
Duncan started to drive forward again, the way he was going before.
"So if I dared you to do something then you'll do it?" Duncan was so calm despite the crazy antic he had just preformed.
"I love challenges, it is hard to turn them down." It was easy to be completely honest with Duncan, it was a strange feeling that I never had felt before.
"So then," Duncan had the stupidest smirk plastered on his face, "I DARE you to make out with me!"
"There is 2 things messed up with that dare. One, you are driving and two, that is one challenge not even I can complete!"
"Why? Am I that hott? Geez I knew that I was sexy but that is just a whole new level!" That was about the 30th ego-booster that Duncan had recieved by me today even if he was twisting my sentences around.
"No. Can I turn the radio on? I need to relax a bit." I waited for Duncan's response.
"What? Are you going to turn it on?" I looked at Duncan, astonished. When I ask to turn the radio on and actually turn it on before he answered he got mad, BUT when I ask and don't turn it on he just tells me to turn it on! Guys are so confusing!
I turned the radio on and flipped through the stations. It took me a while but I found a classical station.
I listened to the words, and turned to Duncan. He had a layer of sweat on his forehead. His palms looked a little clammy and he kept on wiping them on his jeans. His expression was mortified.
"Are you okay?" I asked.
He shock his head 'no' then quickly snapped out of his 'state of mind' and wiped all the sweat away the best that he could, "Huh? yeah. I am fine everything is good here, never better."
I just ignore him and began to sing,
" Believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on"
I realized that I was singing out loud after I finished the chorus. I looked at Duncan, knowing that he heard me and I was embarrass. He was completely out of it.
The sweat came back, If I tried to listen carefully I could have probably hear his heart pounding.
"Are you sure you are okay?" I asked him again.
He looked at me "I feel peachy."
I looked at him, "Peachy? That is something my grandmother would say! I am a C.I.T. I am trained in this sort of stuff."
"I... I," He stammered, "I, never mind let's just go. I wanted to take you somewhere."
"Where?" I was more enthusiastic than I should have been.
He smirked, "You'll see," Duncan got off of the free way and drove to a near by park, "Here we are!"
Duncan pulled a blanket out from the back seat of his car, "I sleep in the car sometimes, so I have a blanket here."
I looked at him and (very) sarcastically said, "How romantic"
We walked under a tree and Duncan set the blanket on the floor.
Duncan smiled, genuinely. It looked a bit strange on his face but nonetheless it was, well... I guess..cute.
"So sweetheart Do you..." Duncan looked around, "Awww, Damn IT! I forgot the food."
"Don't worry I am not that hungry" Just then my stomach growled, despite the fact that I just said that I wasn't hungry.
"Sure you are" Duncan got up and left. I looked around the park. There was a couple sitting on a blanket with a basket next to them. The woman was standing up and the man was down on one knee. I could faintly hear then talking
"Abby, Will you marry me?" The man pulled out a ring.
"Yes, Yes! I will marry you, Fabio" The man and the woman began to kiss, I looked away hoping that they might feel more conformable without spectators.
I looked back after a while, something seemed different. I am not sure what it was.
"Abby, I brought your favorite, Chocolate covered strawberries!" Fabio looked around, "How about SubWay?"
Abby nodded and they left the park.
Duncan finally came back with a basket, "Do you want some Chocolate Covered Strawberries?"
I hesitated, "Uhhh, sure". Duncan got a plastic tupperware container out of the basket. He took the lid off and attempted to feed me a strawberry.
I moved my head back, trying to dodge his attempts. And in the attempts, I ended up with a few chocolate stains on my face.
"You know what? Nevermind"Duncan handed me the strawberry.
"Thank you, did you pack some napkins?" I asked. Duncan handed me a napkin.
"You know, you didn't need a napkin to clean yourself." Duncan picked another strawberry.
"What do you mean by that?" I took a bit out of my strawberry.
"I mean, I could have got that for you." Duncan leaned closer to me, I could see the details of his face clearer.
"Ugh Duncan," He kept on proceeding closer, "You got a little, some some'm." Duncan looked a little confused as he backed away slowly.
I could see Abby and Fabio in the background. Fabio was yelling in confusion, "NO, I didn't lose my wallet. I put it in the basket!"
Abby yelled back at him, "Oh yeah, With the chocolate strawberries!" I looked at Duncan who had a chocolate stain on his cheek, then back at Abby and Fabio.
Abby began to yell, "How can I even marry a man that can't even afford McDonalds?"
Fabio grabbed her wrists, "I can afford food for you, how do you think I paid for your ring?"
Abby shrugged, "loans?"
Fabio looked around for a little while "I know I left it right here!"
Abby looked around franticly "Okay I believe you"
Fabio looked in our direction then pointed, "Him! It was Him, he is looking at my wallet right now."
I looked at Duncan who was looking through a wallet, "Oooo money!" Duncan pocketed some money.
Fabio approached us, "That is my wallet and my basket!"
Duncan looked at Fabio then at me! It was almost a surprise attack, although I should have expected the move.
Duncan put his right arm to next to my side, supporting himself up with it. In a matter of seconds I kissing Duncan. Even if it was for on;y a good five seconds, a kiss is a kiss. Something with in my forced my self to kiss back with in that short time frame. I wanted more of it.
Duncan pulled away and looked at Fabio "Ugh, we are a little busy now"
Fabio grabbed his wallet and the basket, "Rotten little kids," Fabio walked back to Abby while mumbling "making out like there was NO tomorrow "
"Geez, Take a chill pill would ya?"Duncan turned to me again with a smirk on his face, he leaned closer.
"Hold on Duncan, I have a joke for you!" Duncan nodded his head as if to tell me 'continue', "What did the hand say to the face?"
Duncan started to mumble out words "Ugh...I know this one. It is--"
I pulled my hand back as if to back-hand him and I did, "SLAP!" Duncan's check was red, "NOone and I repeat No one! kisses me with out written consent of my parents and myself!"
I got up and turned my heal. I heard a muffled cough that sounded like the word "Bologna"
Ugh! sometimes guys can be so immature, but that same immaturity that make them idiots make them so irresistible.

Okay, TaDa! This for this one I have to give credit to where credit is due, My family! We were at the park for my cousin's soccer game and we were making a bunch of jokes and they looked at me and said something like "You should put that in your story" Then added a bunch of stupid nonsense that was in this chapter. so thank you, T.A. and M.A. and M.A. (again).
So yeah, MOST of that stuff happened. Well not the whole thing with the strawberries or the guy's wallet, but it was close enough.
Ooooo, and before I forget The slap joke thing is from Dave Chapelle, It was in his (I'm) Rick James( ,bitch) skit
