Pony

"I should leave." Payton tells me, but yet she doesn't move. She's pressed against my side, her head on my chest her left hand slowly running her fingers over my stomach.

"You could stay." I say, she leans her head back so she can see me, and I take full advantage kissing her. I hear my phone buzzing from my jeans which are somewhere on the floor in a pile along with the rest of our clothes. I reach over grabbing it,

We're on our way home, did you want us to bring you home anything?

I type out a quick reply and toss my phone on the nightstand. "As much as I want to stay in bed with you, my brother is on his way home." I tell Payton, truth is all I want to do is stay in bed with her. After she kissed me, we got carried away really quick, not that I regret it at all, in fact it felt so right it was almost scary.

"I totally understand." Payton replies, leaning in for one more kiss, we both groan as the kiss gets deeper.

"Pay." I mumble in between kisses, "You're making this really hard." She giggles a little,

"I can see that." She tells me, "Just one more kiss." I swear this girl is more addicting than any drug, we finally manage to separate,

"You can stay if you want and meet Liz and Darry." I tell her as I pull on shirt that doesn't smell like her, and a pair of pajama pants.

"Wow first you suck at relationships now we're having sex and meeting families?" She teases, "You're skipping some steps." I wrap an arm around her waist and pull her into me, leaning down for a kiss. "I don't want to get you in trouble, Robbie mentioned he is kinda strict." I'm sort of curious what else Robbie mentioned.

"He can be. But it's my own fault though." I tell her, I can see her curiosity peak, "Long story. I'll tell you another time." I add.

"If you want me to stay I can." Payton says slowly, "I don't want to rush anything or do something you're not comfortable with."

"I'm good with it, I promise." She grabs a brush out of her purse and runs it through her hair before pulling it back into a ponytail. The two of us settle on the couch with an acceptable amount of space between us. I flip on the TV and open my laptop, "You're helping me with biology." She nods,

"Of course, I am why else would I be here?" She questions. "Is it bad that I really, really want to kiss you?" She leans over my laptop and lets her lips find mine. It takes any and all my self-control I have left to stop kissing her when I hear the key in the door.

"We're home." Liz calls,

"Hey. We're in here." I call back, Liz walks into the living room and stops short. "You remember Payton right?" I ask, Liz nods and I can tell she's trying to figure out what is going on. Darry comes to a short stop beside her, I know him well enough to know he's not going to bitch me out in front of Payton. "Payton this is my brother Darry, Darry this is Payton."

"It's so nice to finally meet you both." Payton says smoothly standing up,

"You didn't mention you were having a friend over." Darry says shooting daggers at me, I know what he's thinking.

"That's totally my fault." Payton starts, Darry turns to look at her, "I was in the neighborhood and Pony had mentioned a few days ago that he needed help with his AP Bio so I figured I'd ask if he wanted me to come help him."

"Oh that is so sweet of you." Liz practically gushes, "Isn't that sweet Darry?" She says nudging him,

"Very nice of you, we appreciate it." He replies, I can tell he's still trying to read what is really going on. "I hope he behaved himself." Payton nods,

"He's been a perfect gentleman." She replies. "It was really nice to meet you both, but it's late I should be going." I stand up,

"I'll walk you out." I tell her, "I'll be right back."

"It was so nice to finally really meet you." Liz tells her, "I hope we'll see you again."

"You too, and I hope so too." Payton replies, she picks up her purse and I open the door for her,

"Where were you when I was in trouble?" I ask pushing the elevator button,

"I've had some practice, when you hangout with Robbie and Ali enough you learn to talk your way out of pretty much everything." She tells me, "I don't want things to be weird between us now." She says, I shake my head,

"No of course not." I assure her, "This is totally between us." I'm naturally a pretty private person, my business is my business and that's it. "I'll see you in school Monday." I say checking behind me before leaning down to give her a kiss.

"Monday." Payton pauses a second, "We don't have to put a label on this right?" She wrinkles up her nose, "I tend to make a mess of things once there is a label." I chuckle,

"No labels. And there's no rush for there to be a label." I reply, "Even though I doubt you could make a mess of anything."

"You're sweet." Payton says with a smile, she steps in the elevator as it opens, "I'll see you Monday."

"Yup Monday." I repeat, I wait until the elevator closes before going back into the apartment. I am hoping that Darry and Liz decided to go to bed and continue date night in there like normal people. But no such luck. They are both in the living room, I feign a yawn, "I'm going to head to bed, I'm tired."

"Sit." Darry says pointing at the couch, I sit down, trying to guess how many weeks I'm going to end up grounded for this one. "Why didn't you tell us that you were having a girl over?"

"It wasn't planned." I start, "She was in the neighborhood and was being nice because I needed some help with homework." I pause, "You do want me to keep my grades up don't you?"

"Did you do something I wouldn't have wanted you to do?" Darry asks me, I have to bite my lip from laughing at him. He still has a hard time admitting that Soda and I have had sex, we both find it hysterical.

"We did homework." I reply, "I'm not sure what you are getting out." I add innocently, Liz covers her mouth to keep herself from laughing.

"Really? You think this is funny Liz?" Darry turns his attention to her, she swallows hard trying to compose herself,

"I think you may be overreacting slightly honey." She starts, "He is allowed to be friends with a girl without there being an intimate relationship." She pauses and I get a hard stare, "And if he is going to have that kind of relationship, he now realizes he needs to use a condom." Darry looks at me,

"Are you two dating?" I shake my head,

"No, we're just friends. She came over to help me with my biology." I reply, "We done here with the third degree?" I ask standing up. "I have work in the morning." Liz smiles,

"No honey you go to bed." I go down the hall into my bedroom shutting the door tightly behind me before climbing into my bed.
