"Darry, you mind if Annie stays the night?" Dally asked. Darry looked at her, then back to Dally.
"I haven't seen her around here." Annie didn't quite know what he meant by that statement.
"She moved here a couple of weeks ago. She's been stayin' with Buck ever since, but he kicked her out today," Dally explained.
"Leave it to that lowdown cowboy to throw out a defenseless chick," Darry mumbled. "How old are you, kid?"
"15." She saw him glance between her and Johnny. "I'm not gonna do anything like that in your house, mister."
"Alright, I guess you can stay."
Her face lit up in a smile and Dally smirked at her reaction. She turned to Johnny and he had a small smile also. Dally pulled Darry aside into the kitchen, but Annie shrugged it off thinking it probably didn't pertain to her.
"Hey, Annie, can I talk to you for a sec?" Johnny asked. She agreed, and they went out on the porch for privacy. He didn't look very happy all of a sudden.
"How come he kicked you out?" he asked.
"He said he couldn't afford to keep me there without me paying rent. So obviously I split," she replied simply.
"Buck's always been real cheap. I should've known he'd throw you out for something stupid like that. You know, after tonight, Two-Bit might be able to give you a place o stay. His mom is real nice."
"Oh, I don't know Johnny. I don't wanna go around like that, asking for places to stay. I barely know you guys. I don't wanna be a burden."
"You won't be. I think you're pretty much welcome here. After all, they call you 'Johnny's Girl'," he was smiling as he said this. It almost looked like a proud smile.
"Johnny, do you think I'm your girl?" Annie asked, sounding shy.
"W-well, if you don't want me to think of you like that, then I understand," he sounded embarrassed, like he made some kind of mistake. Then, she pretty much broke her own rule.
She kissed him. Just a quick one, enough to get him to think he didn't make any kind of mistake. When she pulled away his eyes were so huge and looking at her like he couldn't believe what just happened, and his cheeks were very red. Her face broke into a sly smile. His lips were extremely kissable.
Suddenly, from the screen door there was a loud applause. It made Johnny jump a mile and Annie snap her head towards the door. All six of them were there, looking at them. Soda, Steve, Two-Bit, and even Ponyboy were clapping. Two-Bit even threw in a cat call. Darry and Dally were just sort of smirking. Darry was smiling more than smirking unlike Dally who was the other way around.
Johnny reluctantly got up and walked back into the house, through the crowd of his friends. He earned a slap on the back from all of them. I guess she really was officially 'Johnny's Girl'. Annie didn't mind that title. It made her smile.
"Come on, doll face. Your prince charming is waiting for you," Dally said, before walking away from he door.
Later, that night, Annie was occupying the chair with a thin blanket over her. Johnny was on the couch. She was exhausted, and just about to drop off to sleep. Then, she felt something unexpected. There was a hand on her shoulder. She turned to see who it was, and she saw the silhouette of Johnny in the bluish light coming through he window. She smiled to herself, no caring why he was standing over her, just happy he was there.
Suddenly, there were lips on hers. Obviously they were Johnny's. This time they seemed more lustful. Her theory was proved when she felt his tongue enter her mouth. Not only did she feel it in her moth, she felt it all over her body. That feeling spread. She had to pull away though.
"Sorry," he mumbled. She could tell, even in the blinding darkness, that he was blushing.
"No, don't be. I liked it," she assured him, he was about to lean in for another kiss when she stopped him, "but, I just don't want to go that far."
She didn't want to disappoint him. He was so great. Now that she knew things could really go far with a single kiss, she wanted to keep it from happening. It would be hell trying to prevent it though. Maybe she didn't have to just stop kissing Johnny. Maybe they could kiss all they wanted, but be aware of their boundaries. They already kissed. Once you get a kiss like that, you can't just go back to shy flirting down at the drug store.
"It's okay, I understand. I don't wanna force you into anything."
"Well, I mean, we could always…do what we want, just without going too far. I don't want to stop kissing you, Johnny, just because I'm afraid I won't be able to stay off you. Is that okay?"
He just smiled, and continued kissing her.
