Killing Me Softly

Everyone was still sitting in the café after Tommy stormed out. Melissa ran out shortly afterwards crying. After a few minutes everyone went back to what they were doing before the little display. Chuckie sighed from where he was sitting across from Angelica.

"Whoa, that was intense," he said, not believing what he just saw.

"Yeah, leave it up to my cousin to cause such a huge scene before the end of the day, now this is all anyone's gonna blab about," said Angelica rolling her eyes. Chuckie laughed before clearing his throat.

"We need to talk,"

"Yeah Finster you've said that already," said Angelica sarcastically.

"About the party…" he started but she cut him off.

"Look you were drunk I was drunk, we weren't possibly in our right minds when we kissed," she said hoping to end this conversation before it started.

"I knew what I was doing," he countered.

"Oh really Finster, you could barely fucking stand."

"Maybe, but that doesn't change the fact that you kissed me back."

"As I've said we were drunk," she said waving it off.

"Maybe but that doesn't mean you didn't enjoy it as much as I did," Angelica blushed then she frowned but not before he caught that blush.

"Whatever Finster, what do you want?" she asked wanting to get this over with. She was Angelica Pickles she didn't blush dammit!

"I think we should give this, whatever this is, a chance," he said motioning between them.

"Why?" she asked half annoyed, half curious.

"Because I think we might have something here and we'll regret it if we don't." said Chuckie sincerely but Angelica was keeping her guard up.

"Finster, I will not be a rebound girl,"

"No you won't," he said honestly.

Angelica sighed, she knew she was starting to develop feelings for Chuckie even though she didn't want to admit it out loud, but she didn't want to get hurt if Nicole suddenly changed her mind and decided she wanted him back.

"Look Finster…"

"Chuckie," he said interrupting her smiling. She rolled her eyes.

"Chuckie, you just broke up with Nicole you can't honestly think that you're ready for another relationship right now," she said trying to make him understand.

"You're right, so let's give it a couple of weeks."

"What?"

"Two weeks from now on Friday night, you and me let's go out on a date, if we don't have a connection or both change out minds before the time comes then we don't have to go. Deal." He said holding his hand out so they could shake on it.

Angelica thought about it for a minute. Two weeks wasn't much time, but she figured he wouldn't be fresh off the break up by then. But was she really ready to date again. After Sean she'd secretly promised herself that she wouldn't try to start a new relationship until after she graduated and went to college. Was this really worth it? She sighed there was only one-way to find out. She shook his hand and said.

"Deal."

Finally the day of Phil and Kimi's date was here. They were both nervous as all get out but both equally excited as well. They were riding into town in the back of a taxi to a restaurant Phil had picked out. They hadn't said anything the whole ride down and Kimi was starting to get nervous.

Phil was so confident the night at the party when he kissed her, now she was wondering if he was having second thoughts. She knew Wally wanted him back was he regretting what happened at the party already?

Phil on the other hand was super nervous, he wanted this date to go perfectly. He really liked Kimi and didn't want her to be disappointed tonight. He was quietly going over everything in his head of how he wanted the night to go, not noticing the worried looks on her face.

The taxi pulled up to the fancy looking restaurant and Phil got out after Kimi did. He grabbed her hand and they walked toward the entrance. Once inside Phil gave the hostess his name for the reservation he'd put down and the hostess led them to the table. After they were seated Phil looked over the menu. It was a French restaurant so most of the menu items were in French and Phil had no idea what to order. He could sock Tommy in the face for suggesting this place to him. Kimi on the other hand had about enough of this silence it was driving her crazy. She finally decided to speak up after their water came.

"Phil what's going on?" she asked.

Phil looked up at her and put his menu down.

"Huh, what do you mean?" he asked curiously as the waiter brought them bread.

"You haven't said two words to me since we got in the taxi. Are you having second thoughts about dating me?" she asked afraid for the answer.

"What?" he asked completely shocked. "No of course not." He said grabbing her hands from across the table. He smiled at her. "I just wanted tonight to be perfect Kimi, I really like you and this is our first date. I wanted it to be special, but now I've brought us to this fancy ass restaurant and I don't even know what to order or how to order it and I…" Kimi started laughing.

"Great now I look like an idiot." He said laughing as well.

"No Phil," she said smiling once her laughter subsided. "It's just that when you weren't talking to me on the way here I thought you were having second thoughts about asking me out, but now the fact that you wanted to make this evening so perfect for us makes me like you even more." She said smiling. He smiled as well and leaned across the table and kissed her on the lips. Once he sat back down she scooted her chair closer to his to help him look over his menu.

"Now let's see what we should get." He looked at her as she started pronouncing the French food. "What I've taken French for three years now." She said smiling. He smiled too she was just perfect.

A week had gone by since Tommy and Melissa had their huge fight in the café and things were slowly getting back to normal. Melissa had transferred out of school. She just couldn't deal with the public embarrassment that Tommy had caused her. He couldn't say he wasn't happy to see her go.

Tommy had gotten back into his usual routine of sleeping with different girls but something didn't feel right. He literally couldn't stop thinking about Lil. When he saw her get on the elevator that day with Sean, something inside of him broke. And he couldn't understand the new things he was feeling. He figured that those feelings would go away once he'd slept with her. So he made that his new mission. She was single now and he'd be damned if he let someone else get to her before he could.

Classes were over for the day and he was walking outside around the school grounds when he saw her talking to Robert French a senior. He walked right over to them and stepped in front of Lil and spoke to Robert.

"This conversations over now get lost." Robert looked between Lil and Tommy nervously. Even though he was older than Tommy, that kid could be really intimidating. He wasn't really sure what to do now. Lil turned Tommy to face her.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" she asked angrily.

"Trying to have a conversation with you," he said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

"Yeah, well I was talking to someone else, I don't know who you think you are, but you don't command anyone, I can talk to who ever I want whenever I want."

"Yeah well now you're talking to me."

"Wrong you're talking to yourself, I'm leaving." Said Lil "Come on Robert," she said as she started to walk off. Robert stayed frozen in his spot.

"You know what I actually need to get to the library Lil, I'll see you later." He said walking back towards the school without waiting for a reply. Lil rolled her eyes and still starting walking in the other direction towards the south entrance of the school. Tommy followed her though.

"So you're just going to walk away, that's kind of rude don't you think?" he said falling into step with her. She stopped suddenly and he had to stop quickly so that he wouldn't run into her. She turned to face him sharply. They were inside the school now in a secluded hallway.

"Rude!" She almost yelled. "You're the rude one, like seriously Tommy this whole school may be under your fucking spell, but I'm not and I never will be." She said hissing the last part invading his personal space. He smirked.

"It kills you doesn't it." He said his voice just above a whisper.

"What the hell are you talking about?" she asked angrily.

"You want me so bad, but you won't give into this." He said "Why Lil? Just give in we'll both be much happier in the end I promise you," he said licking his lips smirking.

"You're so fucking full of yourself Tommy Pickles, you know what I…" But he cut her off and pressed his lips to hers, pressing her into the wall.

She was trying to push him off but he was persistent. He waited for this for a long time and he knew she wanted it too even if she was trying to deny it. He wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her closer and tried to deepen the kiss. She had her hands balled up in fist trying to hit him in the chest but he forced her mouth open with his tongue and she finally gave in.

Her fist now palms laid flat on his chest and she could feel his rapid heart beat.

Tommy was in heaven, he'd kissed many girls before, but none of them were as talented a kisser as Lil was. He couldn't ever remember feeling like this in his life and now that he tasted her, he had to have more. He lifted her feet up off the ground and she finally wrapped her arms around his neck. He placed a hand underneath her thigh and hoisted her up so now she had her legs wrapped around his waist.

Their tongues still battled for dominance and he grinded his hips into her. Lil moaned into his mouth. It was the sweetest sound he'd ever heard. He tore his lips away from hers and started kissing down her neck. She let her head fall to the side to give him better access. And he placed hot wet hickeys all over her neck. She moaned particularly loudly when he sucked on one spot right below her ear.

He was about to move his hand up her skirt when they heard someone coming. He quickly let her down and she straightened out her clothes, he straightened himself out as well. She was flushed her hair was a mess her clothes were wrinkled and her was breathing heavily. To Tommy she looked like the sexiest thing he'd ever seen. Once the noises they heard subsided he was the first to speak.

"You still wanna deny this." He asked his breathing was heavily too. His hair was sweaty and spiked a little. His shirt was clinging to him and she could make out the print of his muscles and is abs. Damn he was sexy as hell. How did she let this shit happen?

"This changes nothing." She said and started to walk away. He let her go this time but not before he said.

"This changes everything."

(A/N: well there you have it, things got a little steamy, but what does this mean now? Will Lil finally give in or is Tommy in over his head. Keep reading to find out XOXO….TLL ;-)
