Chapter Ten
This could all end badly
"Holmf!" was the muffled yell that woke me up, I sleepily shot up into a sitting position to witness a dark silhouette falling through my window 'Hadn't I closed that?'
The truth was I really couldn't remember, the alcohol I had consumed last night and the effects of Tonys little 'kiss' had had a serious time messing up my memory, among other things. "Shit, I hate that fuckin window"
"Jay?" I asked, turing to my left to flip on the lamp that was situated there. I was graced by the sight of a topless Jay Adams pushing himself up off of my floor. "What the hell?" He sent me and impish grin as he straightened himself up then shrugging his shoulders as an answer. "Moron" I mumbled, turing off the light and throwing myself backwards onto my bed then yanking the covers up over my head.
No one interrupted my sleep.
Ever
There was a few minuets of silence before a grunt broke through the air and a massive weight landed on top of me "Jay, God!" I said, poking him in the side through my covers then pushing him off of a quick glance at the clock when I surfaced I yelled "Shit Jay its like five am!"
"Not so loud," he mumbled, now face down in on of my pillows. "You'll wake Skip"
"What are you doing here this early Jay?" He let out a sort of frustrated groan and buried his head deeper into my pillow "Dude you can't force me up then pass out on me" I poked him again in his side, over and over until he turned his face slightly from the pillow.
"I was out"
"Yea? No shit Jay" I get sarcastic with no sleep
"I was out, thought of you then decided to come here" he elaborated
"Where've you been?" I asked, sitting myself up.
"Out," he replied, groggy. "Look I couldn't sleep and just went out for a skate" I blinked at him a few times in the dark before switching on the lamp again "God Tilly can't we just sleep? We have to be at Sids in a few hours" He whined, burying his face back into the pillow again.
I was getting so much more frustrated by the second with this boy. "Jay" I could hear my mothers infamous warning tone edging my voice and despite his obvious tiredness Jay must have too as he flipped over onto his back then sat up next to me
Jay ran his hands through his golden hair before taking a deep breath and blurting out "My mom...freaked out again ok, and I just couldn't deal with staying there tonight so I thought, seeing as id be with you in a few hours anyway, that id come here" he finished. Jays blonde head was bowed, his mass of hair shielding his face while his fingers picked at my sheets.
Shifting myself closer I reached over and took hold of his hand, rubbing my thumb over the back of it. Leaning my head on his shoulder I closed my eyes and sighed, muttering a low "Thank you" It felt like forever, the two of us just sat there perfectly content with the silence. I did, eventually, fall asleep, but It felt like I woke up only a mere second later. I woke up after only an hour, the two of us had fallen backwards into the softness of the pillows. It was Jays turing that had woken me. He had draped half his body over me and rested his head on top of my chest, the combined heat of the weather and Jays still unshirted body made me uncomfortable so I decided to wake Jay.
I woke him with a series of light pokes to his side and stomach. "Jay," I breathed more than whispered, then pressed my lips to his bare neck "Jaay"
I lifted my head in time to catch his quick smile, opening his eyes and yawning a "Hi." he wrapped his arms around my waist and crushed me to his chest. "Why'd ya wake me? We don't have to be up for another half hour"
"It was too hot to sleep"
"Why thank you"
"I didn't say you jackass, I said it" I could feel Jays chest shaking with silent laughter. Again we fell into a comfortable silence causing my mind to drift back to the nights events, of Peggy finding out about Jay and I 'Its not a bad thing that Peggy knows, it could help'more than anything' about how I'd stop Kathy and her scheming 'I need to find something to bribe her with' and Tonys visit 'Should I really tell Jay about Tony kissing me?'
"What!?!" Jays yell, and the fact that he'd shot up from the bed instantly flinging halfway across it had pulled me out of my retrieve. "Tony kissed you?! When!"
"What?" 'Damn, no way did I say that out loud'
"Yes you fucking said it out loud"
"Seriously? I haven't done that in years"
"Mattie" Jay had copied my warning tone from earlier, grabbing hold of my shoulders he tuned me so as I was face to face with him "Tony kissed you?" the blonde asked me, his eyes showed no fury, no upset, just that blank typical Jay Adams stare.
'Lie! Lie!' "Erm, yea" 'Damn you woman'
"When?" his voice was tight, like he was about to scream any second "Tonight? At the party?"
'Lie! Lie!' "Erm yea?" 'Atta girl, no need to poke the fire...or whatever' Jays face was contorted with anger, he was truly pissed off "Jay come on man he was pissed, he was joking around" I lied "It was on the ride home and he said he'd only done it cause he didn't get too it truth or dare, we all just laughed it off" At least that was partly true.
Jays face loosened just a little, his bright eyes stayed locked on mine as if trying to figure out my lie 'Please believe me, please believe me' I prayed
"Tony got me thinking" I spoke, slight topic change might get him speaking and stop staring "Peggy knows that we like each other" Noted use of the word like "And this Tony thing is obviously pissing us off so, why don't we just....let the guys know we like each other. Now."
Confusion washed over Jays face now, "We're a mess, you know that?" he told me. I nodded. He carried on just staring intently at me, his eyes holding onto my own. Slowly he reached out to grab the back of my neck and pulled me across so his forehead rested on my own. He moved forward to sit on his knees, inches from my face, we where eye to eye now. Running his hands slowly through my hair he pulled me in with his usual confidence, he pressed his lips to mine, gently, trusting. I returned the kiss, guiltily. He pulled back only to embrace me in another tight hug. "You should get ready" he said into my hair, then pushed me back.
Smiling at me he flopped back down on the bed "You will behave today wont you?" I asked "Around Tony I mean"
"I will if he will" was what I received as an answer
"Good enough" I slid off the bed and walked over to my dresser, pulling out some jeans and a shirt "Behave and I might just play nice" I told him before slipping out of the door.
"A perfect red-headed kidney!" Tony observed from beside the pool, I laughed from my own speck beside Stacy at the description of Sids huge but full pool.
Speak of the devil "Hey what did your dad say?" Jay asked as Sid approached us.
Sid bent down to scratch his dog Him (I know really creative right) before answering "Sid are you high, the pools for swimming" he impersonated in a deep voice, causing me to let out a soft snort.
"Just tell him we'll fill it back up when we're done" Jay rationalized, sitting up to cross his legs
"Yea he said if you guys get hurt you'll sue him"
"We wont sue him" Jay laughed
"He said your parents will" I laughed and shot Stacy a 'yea right' look just as Tony jumped up to stand.
"Dude our parents can't even afford lawyers" Stacy said
Tony had moved over to Sid, his board clutched in his hand "Hey man let me talk to him" He addressed Sid
"Hey man" Sid copied, throwing his arm around Tonys broad shoulders "The only Mexicans my dad talks to push lawn mowers" The five of us burst out laughing at Sids comment, Tony grabbing the brunette in a headlock.
A loud honk sounded from outfront prompting Tony to release Sid and for Stacy to jump up. "Hey man thats Skip, lets go" Jay stood up and walked over to me, offering a hand up.
"Thanking you JayBoy" I said as he hauled me up off the floor, either Jay didn't know his own strength or it was intentional but he'd pulled too hard causing me to go flying into his chest.
"Whoops" he laughed, his face inches from my own.
"Hey!" Sid yelled over "No getting hot and heavy in my yard man, the neighbors will start complain!" I looked over Jays shoulder to see that all the boys had stopped to look at Jay and I. Sid and Stacy where smiling, Sid laughing even, but Tonys face donned a light frown.
"Come on" I sighed, grabbing Jays hand and leading us over to the boys.
"Hey shotgun!" Stacy yelled as we reached them, resulting in a race to Skips car.
By the looks of things Stacy was regretting calling shotgun as he disgustedly watched Skip down a burger "Seriously we should drain it when he goes on his next business trip" Jay told Sid. I was sat, in search of a better word, between Sid and Tony listening to Jay still trying to persuade Sid to let us use his pool to skate in.
"Yea, he'd have you all killed. Good one though, good idea" Sid said, his bored tone amusing me. "But no" he finished, leaning back against the seat.
"Hey! Kiss me granny!" Jay had leant forward and out of the car window "Love to get me some of the grey beaver!" He yelled towards two ladies standing on the sidewalk
I laughed at the reaction of the two furred up women "Come back when your balls drop!"
"Oh yea!" Jay screamed "You looking good!" I leant back against the car seat, my ribs hurting from laughing, Sid only making it worse by leaning upfront and telling Skip to go back. I was laughing so hard I barely noticed Tonys hand ghosting over my thigh as he reached across me to ruffle Sids hair.
'Ok next time im sitting next to Jay'
Skip pulled upto a parking space in Huntington Beach where the skate festival was being held, on either side of us where the other cars that had carried the other Z-Boys and by the looks of things they where hyped.
In our car Sid turned to me in excitement before reaching over me and popping the door open, Tony laughed as he exited first to yells of his name Sid and I following and mimicking the Alva fans surrounding the cars. "Tony I so wanna bang you" Sid pitched his voice highly
"Fag!" Red Dog yelled as he skated passed, pushing Sids shoulder to show that he was playing. I smiled at Sid and gave him a soft squeeze on his shoulder before turning round and heading towards Skips car door.
"You excited?" He asked as he stepped out of his car. I nodded my head repeatedly in answer causing him to smile and wrap his arm around my shoulders. "Then lets go"
Skip and I where walking through the crowds, pass a group of girls surrounding Tony and past the guy from Del Mar who had started the fight "Hey Skip, how you doing?" the guy asked holding his hand out in greeting. Skip just snorted and walked us right past straight towards another guy who stepped out in front of my father to stop him.
This guy mimicked the actions of the one before, Skip this time releasing my shoulders to shake the guys hand "Hey man" Skip was greeted "People have been swaming my shop for weeks asking bout you guys!"
"Well what ya expect man come on!" Skip laughed, again taking my shoulders and pushing me through the crowd away from the guy 'Ever modest my father' I stopped to talk to Jay and Shogo as my father crossed the floor to join the team members that weren't practicing.
"Good luck you guys" I wished the two, giving each a hug put placing a quick kiss on Jays cheek before crossing the floor myself and taking a seat next to Peggy who greeted my with a nudge on the shoulder.
"Next up on the demonstration platform the Zephyr team from Venice California" the announcer introduced 'Here we go'
Tony was up first and the crowd behind pushed forward to get a better view, now we where almost standing on the skate floor. Yells of "Lets Go Tony" and "Alva!" where heard as Tony pushed off for the start of his run. He skated right across the floor and pulled off a couple of maneuvers before skating back over. I caught a glimpse of Skip leaving the crowd with a massive bag before Tony skidded to a stop right in front of me, shooting me a flirtatious grin before jumping back up.
I heard a barely audible sigh from behind me, no guesses who had seen Tony's smile towards me as a pair of tan and easily recognizable arms wrapped themselves around my waist. Jay. "Your plan" he whispered as Tony continued his run "About letting these guys know?" I nodded "Lets do it soon, before I kill Alva" I laughed in agreement, tilting my head back so Jay could chastely kiss my lips.
At the chorus of giggles and slight whoops from around us I could tell many of the Z-Boys had seen and I felt a slight rush of embarrassment before turning back to watch the rest of Tony's run. As I turned to scan the floor for where Tony had finished I found myself eye to eye with the Hispanic whose face was contorted with anger. 'Crap,he saw that.'
I didn't want to hurt Tony, despite how annoying he could be.
The boys passed each other as Tony made his way off the floor and Jay onto it, there was a look exchanged as they crossed a look I just caught, anger?
Tony pushed his way though the crowd as Jay started his run, I was tempted only for a second to go after him, only a second but decided to stay and watch my....boyfriends? run. The crowd was cheering loudly for Jay, screaming his name over and over. I smiled brightly as Jays confidence grew with every series of chants. In just a few minuets his turn was over and the blonde made his way back to my side as Stacy started, supported from the sidelines by Kathy. 'Huh, didn't notice her at all, usually she comes over and we watch together'
As my eyes landed on the Kathy I saw her brother run around behind her and up towards the huge monument people where watching from. Unfazed I continued to watch Stacys run until a guys next to us pointed upwards and yelled "Hey!"
Everyone followed to where the guy was pointing at, Tony was stood at the edge of the monument board in hand "What the hell is he doing?" I mumbled as the Hispanic took a slight run up, jumped, threw his board under his feet and landing a perfect atomic drop.
"Yea Tony!" people screamed as he returned to the floor, he ran past Jay and I, shooting us a look before running into the center of the crowd
"I am Alva!" he announced flipping his curly hair before being pounced on by fangirls.
"Lets give it up for the Z-Boys from Venice California!" the announcer said, I barely heard him though as Stacy, Jay and I where caught up in a non verbal conversation. It was obvious to us that while we where in awe of what Tony had just done we knew it was done in jealousy. The three of us shook our blonde heads before turning our back and making our way out of the crowd.
While each Z-Boy was busy with fans I was sat on the hood of Skips car talking to Peggy "So every one of the guys has pretty much guessed that there is something going on between you and Jay now" she was telling me "And each one of them I think has the common sense to not go shouting it out to Skip or anyone"
"Good" I smiled "Because that would.."
"Fuck things up?" Peggy interrupted
"For sure it would" I laughed "But, I dunno Peggy. Im worried about Tony I guess, not about him but more over what he's going to do"
"I know, did you see that look he gave Jay after he kissed you?"
"Yea!" I said leaning forward now no chancing being overheard "Then he pulled that atomic bomb thing, im not conceited I know that wasn't about me but his competitiveness makes me think that he saw me as just another competition or something"
"I get that" Peggy consoled "But that's just Tony, without the competition none of these guys would have had the drive to become as good as they are"
I laughed "That sounded quite prophetic there Peggy" I smiled "But have you noticed, and today is just more proof, that when Tony doesn't get what he wants, when he doesn't win something 'bad' happens?" The girl nodded "Im just scared, wondering what Tony's going to do now that he knows"
Peggy did not answer, she just sat next to me solemnly nodding her head as we watched the Z-Boys talking and skating with fans 'This could all end badly'
