Part 2
It has been seven months. So far, the gang still has yet to find out about Leon and Emerald. She still flirts and he still acts like she unapproachable. Now that she is a senior in high school, her behavior and moods have changed. She more direct and more flexible, due to her four months of dance team. Sadly, racing, and the team, have taken a back seat to her pursuit of performing arts.
So sit back, relax, and let these words touch you. There is one more part and I hope you all have plenty of Kleenex for that one.

As I created a graphic on my brand new computer, listened to a tape of the musical Dream Girls, I hummed to the rhythm I was to perform this same song for an audition the up coming January. My awards for all the performing contests I had been in for the past four months either hung from my wall or sat atop my awards mantel. My scholastic awards were no longer the only ones on it.
I looked to my phone and saw that Leon had again. I wished I had more time for him, but between Student Council, dance team, yearbook, drama club, student news, working at Hot Topic and the IB magnet, I barely had time for myself.
My watched beeped at midnight. I walked out my house and looked up the street to see people still coming and going from Dominic's house. I rushed inside and changed out of my nightgown quickly. Hopefully Leon was still there and could talk in private.
I pulled out a pair of gray sweats, a white wife beater and some all white Adidas. I pulled my hair up into a ponytail and ran down the street.
People said the usual "hey Street", "How you doing?" or, a favorite of mine to knock, "Damn girl, you looking good." I found Dominic sitting in the recliner with Letty right on top of him.
"Hey, long time no see, ghosty." Letty said as I bent to give her a hug.
"Dude, school. If I do one more thing, I am going to scream."
"Hey, that just you. I told you not to get too into school."
"It was my choice and I am the one to live with it."
"Hey you." Mia came up behind me, with Vince on her heel.
"Damn Mia, you got an ugly shadow." I said.
"Hey. Watch it Kid." Vince said as everyone laughed.
"But I was only telling the truth."
"Yeah, whatever. There's some Snapple in the kitchen." Dominic said.
"Thanks." I walked in the kitchen and ran into Leon, literally.
"Oh sorry." I said before I knew it was him.
"It's alright." He smiled when he finally realized.
"Emerald." He said. He said in a way that makes my heart and legs melt.
"Leon." I glanced over my shoulder to see the rest of the team chatting with some other guest.
"Come on." I said and we went outside. No one was outside. I sat on top of the picnic table and he placed himself in front of me and his hands came up around my waist. I rested mine on his shoulders.
"Where you been all week?" He whispered.
"Either at work, at home, at the library, or at school."
"Oh. Miss me?"
"You know I did."
"You didn't call."
"I had neither the time and or the energy. But I thank you for not being mad."
"It's kind of hard keeping this in, you know."
"I know. But I." I listened for footsteps. "Move."
He quickly let me go and stood against the table next to me as Letty came out.
"Hey, parties over. The cops are threatening to make an arrest of any one here after one."
"Damn." I whispered.
"Al'right." Leon told her as she went inside.
"So I guess this means I have to go." I said and hopped down from the table.
"You don't have to you know. We could just stay in one of Dom's extra rooms."
"The temptation would be too great." I moved closer and embraced him.
"Oh. I could go to the mall and wait till you're on break. What shift do you have?"
"Closing. But I have some free time earlier tomorrow. How about a movie or something?"
"That'll work."
"Good. So I'll call you tomorrow morning?"
"Yeah." His hand came behind my head as he gently pulled me into the kiss. His lips were soft against mine, it was forceful yet resistant.
"Damn. I knew it." Dominic laughed. Everyone came running behind him when Leon and I pulled away. I licked my lips and ran my hands over my hips.
"Hey. Leon and Em, sitting a tree." Jesse and Vince began.
"Oh real mature Jay." I said.
"So how long has it been?" Dominic asked.
"Remember the day you gave me my Civic?"
"Yeah. Seven months? You two have kept this a secret for seven months. Leon, you're not, you know."
"What? No. If Street wants to wait till marriage, then I'm waiting."
"I bet you go through a lot of porn mags, don't you Leon?" Vince asked.
"V." Mia pushed him back in the house.
"I think we should give them some time alone." Letty said as she ushered them back inside.
"The cat's out of the bag now." I said.
"I guess so. No more hiding though." He pulled him again.
"No more codes."
He kissed me again, his lips pressed softly against mine. It was in this moment that I knew that no matter what would happen good or bad, we would always be together.

Okay. Now I know how it works. I say I won't write anymore so you get to write. Then when I do, you stop reviewing. Must I repeat that I do get my vibes to write from the reviews I get? I like good news and like the fact that people like my work. But if I feel that no one is reading it, then I get an emotional writer's block. So keep the reviews coming. The more I get, the faster I write.
It has been seven months. So far, the gang still has yet to find out about Leon and Emerald. She still flirts and he still acts like she unapproachable. Now that she is a senior in high school, her behavior and moods have changed. She more direct and more flexible, due to her four months of dance team.
