AN: Okay, well, this chapter took me two days to finally finish, because I kept letting myself get distracted, I know, shame on me. But on the bright side? There's action, and, a uh, crazy customer, that you guys most definitley should know who it is. Haha. And before I forget, because I don't plagarize, I was having a little problems with Geoff and Duncan's conversation about Courtney, cause, well, I think it's pretty obvious why they can't sound like girls.

Duncan's POV
Thankfully when I got home, Bridgette was gone. I let out a sigh of relief, I was not looking forward to seeing Bridgette and Geoff getting it on, it might just have ruined my good mood. Might of. I smiled.
"Where's Mrs. Lover?" I asked smirking. Geoff turned around.
"She went to Court's house." He said.
"Damn, Court's gonna tell her than." I mumbled, not expecting Geoff to hear me. But of course, he did.
"Tell her what? Dude, did you and Court, you know, get it on?" Geoff asked.
"Dude, no. I don't want to, you know, well, I do, but, I just, I don't know, it's weird." I said, dropping onto the couch, with my head in my hands.
Geoff smiled, "Dude, you don't like Courtney, and you don't love her. Your IN love with her."
I scoffed. "I am NOT in love with her."
"Dude, I hate to say it, but you are." He responded.
"If you'd hate to say it don't say it. Get this through your head, I am NOT in love with her…"
Geoff smirked at me, "Oh yeah, you so aren't in love with her.
I glared weakly at him before walking to my bedroom.
I heard Geoff softly mumbled, "Huh, so the dude's in love with her."
I had a heck of a time getting to sleepthat night. What Geoff said kept running through my head. Was I in love with her? Could I be in love with her? Did I have the capibility to be in love with her? I mean honestly, I'm a no good delinquent! People look at me with fear in their eyes, and even though I may like it cause it makes me feel tough, it's also making me wonder if I'm capable of certain emotions. But if Geoff was right, and I was in love with Court, than things just may start to get interesting. I mean, sure, she's told me that she loves me, but what if I blow it. What if I do something to romantic? Buahahaha, yeah right. The actual problem though? What if I wasn't romantic enough. I mean that first date? Luck. Uggh, being in love with someone is not as amazing as people make it sound. Wait a minute, I just said in love. Does that mean? Oh no. Why? Why, why, why?! And HOW do I tell Court. Than I got an idea, I don't tell her. Not yet. Hopefully, not ever.
As I walked into the car shop for another boring day at work, I saw the one thing I least wanted to see. Justin. I decided now was the best time to tell him to stay the hell away from my Princess.
"Hey Justin! Get over here, I need to talk to you!" I called out to him.
He looked over at me, and relunctantly came over and away from the desk where he was just flirting with Lindsay. Ah, poor Lindsay, too stupid to even notice he was flirting with her. But that, was besides the point. It was time to make it clear to Justin that I wasn't taking him and his stupid little flilrty ways anywhere NEAR my girl.
"What do you want? Come to get mad at me cause your little darling Courtney decided to take me up on my offer? Did she ditch you for this perfect hunk of a man right here?" He asked, full of himself.
I laughed. "Umm, no. She didn't. She wants nothing to do with you, and everything to do with me. At least, that's what it seems like since we're dating and all. But I called you over here to tell you one thing and one thing only. Stay. Away. From. MY. Princess." I told him.
"YOUR Princess? What, she's a possession now?" He asked.
"No. She's not. She's my girl, and I love her. But I'm serious Justin, stay away from her, or else." I threatned.
"Or else what?" He asked laughing.
"Or else your pretty little face won't be so pretty anymore, got that?" I said, completley serious. He was about to answer, but Hatchet beat him to it.
"Yo maggots! Get your pretty little lazy butts moving NOW!" He yelled at us.
"Sir, yes sir!" Me and Justin answered. Than we went off to work. Or should I say, I went off to work, Justin went right back to flirting with clueless little Lindsay. Pfft, that guy needs a good punch in the face. And if he didn't back of Courtney, that's exactly what he's going to get.
Uggh, I know I had said it was going to be boring, but I didn't think it was going to be THIS boring. I looked at the clock. Just a few more minutes until my lunch break. I looked down at my cluttered desk, spotted the phone, and an idea popped into my head. Well, a name did at least. Princess. I immediatly punched in her number, hoping she was home. Knowing Princess, she's probably out doing something, she seems the type to always be busy.
"Hello?" I heard her answer. My mood lightened intensly.
"Hey, Princess, you doing anything today? Cause if not, I was thinking maybe you could come to the shop, it's almost my lunch break, we could go somewhere." I said.
She didn't answer for a while, and I felt nervous. "You, want me to come over?" She asked.
"Umm, yeah. That's if you want to, you don't have to!" I said, panicking. She laughed. I loved her laugh.
"No, no, I'd love too, I'm leaving like, right now. Seeya in a few." She said. I felt a huge smile spread onto my face.
"Kay, seeya in a few." I hung up, before I could do anything incredibly stupid, like tell her I was in love with her. It felt like forever while I was waiting for her. But finally, I saw her pull up. Again, I felt a huge smile spread across my face, as I stood up straight and uncrossed my arms.
"Princess!" I yelled, as soon as she walked through the door. Before she had the chance to answer, I ran up to her and wrapped both my arms around her waist and lifted her into the air. She laughed and hugged back. When I put her down, I was still holding her tight. I could see a very angry and a very jealous Justin out of the corner of my eyes. I smirked. Yeah, that's right, I wasn't lieing when I said she was mine. Suck on that pretty boy! I grinned triumphantly. But of course, it had to come over and ruin it.
"Oh, hey Courtney." It said. I growled on reflex. Courtney's eyes had a reflection of fear and, was that lust?
"Uh, hi, Justin.." She said, than turned back towards me. "So, you said that you were almost on your lunch break, right?"
"Yeah, I have to help Justin with one more car, and than we can head out." I said, glaring at Justin, but hiding a bit of triumph in my eyes, for Justin only to see, which caused Justin to glare right back.
"Fine." He said angrily. We just kept glaring at each other, both of us forgetting Princess was right there, the look of triumph still in my eyes.
"So where do I go?" A small voice said from beside me, and I couldn't help but smile.
I turned to look at my gorgeous Princess, still smiling. "How about you go hang out with Lindsay for now. She could probably use some help." I could tell Justin was beyond jealous. Good, he's been doing this kind of thing to girls for a long time, bout time he knows how it feels.
"Oh, well, okay." Courtney said. I watched her walk over to Lindsay. Ahh, poor Princess, she was in for the time of her life with that girl.
I turned towards Justin and growled, noticing he was staring at my Princess' butt. The nerve of that thing. I grabbed the collar of his shirt, balled my hand into a fist, dragged him towards the garage and told him as quietly as I could, "You and me, need to talk. Now."
We walked into the garage, and I let go of Justin when I saw a customer. I had to try not laugh when I saw Justin stumble forward. Than I heard the ramblings of our crazy customer.
"And than Explosivo was like, BOOM BOOM! And E-Scope was all, No Explosivo, don't blow up the car or the frogs will eat the donkey! And than Explosivo blew up the mufler and the two right tires, and now our car is broken." She than laughed manically, threw the cars at Hatcher, than ran off to god knows where.
"Well, you heard her, I think." Hatchet told us. "Now, fix it." He pointed to the car. "Than you can leave for the day."
After Hatchet left, pretty boy turned around and smirked. "So, Court's pretty hot. Bet you she's great in bed." He said. I jumped on him, punched him in the face a few times, than got right in his face saying.
"You even so much as LOOK at her, and you'll be in the hospital. You got that Pretty boy? I'm not lying, I will severly hurt you." I said, glaring at him. He looked scared, and bruised. Good, serves the thing right. He than replaced the look of fear with one of hatred.
"Deny it all you want. But sooner or later, she'll realize how stupid she was for choosing you over me. And when she does, she'll be running over, right into my arms. Just you wait. So you have your little fun with her now, but just remember, Justin ALWAYS gets the girl. Always." He said, spitting the word stupid. It took all my might not to punch him again, and it still wasn't enough. I got up, kicked him in the side, told him to stay away from Court, and got to work. He just glared at me the whole time while I was fixing the car. When I was just about done, I threw the wrench at Justin's face, told him to finish it, and ran up to see my Princess. No way was I letting her see Justin all beat up. She'd wonder. I was worried about her reaction when she saw me so pissed, but luckily, seeing her made me forget everything that had just happened.
"Princess!" I ran over, picked her up bridal style and than spun her around a few times. She laughed, and I felt a huge urge to kiss her. I set her down on her feet, and kissed her. I felt her smile into the kiss around the same time that she wrapped her arms around my neck. I deepened the kiss and wrapped my arms around her waist. I never realized just how tiny it was, or how she fit perfectly in my arms. When we broke apart, I picked her up and threw her over my shoulder as if she was a sack of potatoes. She pounded on my back, but she was laughing, which basically told me that she didn't mind all that much.
"Put me DOWN!" She demanded, still laughing.
"Not a chance Princess, not a chance."
I watched her expression change from amusement to shock as I placed her inside my convertible. I hopped into the drivers said, and started up the car.
"Duncan, where are we going?" She asked me. She seemed to have to ask me that a lot. But I decided to tell her today. I don't know why, but I did.
"Back to my apartment, Princess. Because believe it or not, I can cook. Not as good as DJ and his mom, but I can cook."
"Just look at the road Duncan." She laughed. It was than that I realized I had been looking at her. No, not looking, staring.
"Fine, fine, be that way."
"Oh my God! Duncan, this is amazing!" She exclaimed.
I chuckled. I mean, who get's this excited over spagetti? "It's only spagetti."
"Yeah, but it's amazing spagetti!" Apparently, Princess does.
I laughed, "Glad you like it Princess. But you got a little something right, there." I said, licking sauce off of her nose, hoping to make her blush. I saw a light pink stain her cheeks. Success! I laughed. All she did was smile, but than her eyes got wide with shock.
"Oh crap! Duncan! It's 12!" I heard her yell.
"What?" I said, turning to look at the clock. It was than that I realized she was right, and that it was quite late. "Woah, how did it get so late?" I asked, actually meaning it. Seriously, where did the time go? I brought her here from the shop, well, 12 hours ago!
"Hmm, let's see." She said, teasingly. "All the times you burnt the sauce and the noodles, the time you stopped cooking to make out with me. Yeah, I think that's about it." She concluded, a teasing glint in her eyes.
"Oh hahaha Princess." I said, sarcastically, but amused. Than I got serious. "But I'm not letting you go home, not tonight, not this late and not when it's this dark out."
"Well where do you want me to stay?" She asked, genuinly confused. I laughed a little in my head. She really should not have asked that.
"Here!" Bridgette said, walking through the door with Geoff. She threw a night gown at her. "I was gonna use it, but I won't be needing it." She said. Barf! I think both me and Court were thinking the same thing. She proved me right by the next thing she said.
"Uggh, Bridgette I don't want to know."
"There, your all settled." I smiled. Than realized something, that even if we were dating she would not agree to. But I wasn't letting her refuse it. "Oh, and don't refuse or complain about it, but you are going to have to sleep in my room, and neither one of us is sleeping on the floor."
"Fine." She said. Wait, she didn't argue? Either she's tired, or I'm not as great a cook as I thought. She stomped off to the bathroom to put on the nghtgown that Bridgette had brought. She walked out, to three shocked gazes, seeing as it ended halfway down her thighs, and the neckline was really low, but amazingly she didn't look a bit like a slut. She just look, well, amazing. As always.
"What?" She asked, sounding self concious.
"You look, hot." All three of us said at once. I turned to glare at Geoff, in time to see Bridgette give him a good slap on th eback of the head. He threw his arms up in surrender.
"What, I'm sorry, but it's true!" He shouted in defense. I heard Courtney laugh.
"Leave him alone." She said, before heading off to my room. I turned to look at Bridgette, giving her a nod, telling her to listen to Court. She smiled, and instantly, her and Geoff were attached. I turned and walked into the room to see Court already in bed, looking quite cozy. I closed the door behind me, turned off the lights and jumped into bed, hoping I don't land on my Princess. I got under the covers, scooted close enough to Court that I could wrap my arm around her tiny waist, bring her closer to me, snuggle my face into my hair, which I couldn't help but notice smelled like coconuts mixed with vanilla. She was probably thinking I was going to try something on her. I badly wanted to tell her that I couldn't and that I wouldn't, but that would mean telling her that I was in love with her, and like I said before, I was trying to avoid that at all costs. So I just kissed the top of her head, even though she had her back to me.
"Good night Princess. I love you." I mumbled, half asleep. With my arm still wrapped around her and my face still in her hair, I almost fell asleep, but thankfully, I stayed awake, just long enough.
"Good night, Duncan, I love you too." I couldn't help but smile. Everytime she said that, my stomach did a couple backflips. My mind wandered back to what Justin had told me today. That he always got the girl. I started panicking. What if Court decided that she DID like Duncan more? What if she's only trying to make Justin jealous? All thoughts went away though, when she turned around, obviously not asleep yet, and snuggled into me. I smiled and asked myself the question one more time, but answered it 100% sure. Was I in love Courtney? Yes, yes I most DEFINITLY was. And with that thought, I fell asleep, Courntey in my arms and a smile on my face.
