The Kiss
I didn't know what to say, so I remained silent. Dallas was staring at me-I couldn't read his face, though. He had on his face that he used on cops, teachers, anyone he wanted to intimidate. It was expressionless, really, but it sure scares the hell out of you.
"We need to talk," I finally managed to say, grabbing his forearm and pulling him into my room. I shut the door behind us and locked it so he couldn't leave.
"What?" he asked, his tone flat yet full of anger.
"Look, I'm sorry, Dally. I can't say it any more truthfully..I was confused in the hospital, all right, and you can't blame me for freakin' out, seeing the jacket that belonged to that fuckin' Soc on your back!" I exclaimed.
"I get that, Robin, but I still can't believe you'd actually think I'd do something like that to you. What the hell would I get outta that?" Dally exploded.
"I don't know, all right, I don't know! I was just scared, that's all, and I didn't think. Now would you just get over it? Jesus, you're bein' like a girl, holdin' grudges you never should've had," I said, rolling my eyes just to infuriate him even further. I'll admit, I got some kind of sick pleasure out of getting him mad. It was kind of fun, really.
"Did you just call me a girl?" Dallas was livid now.
I nodded, folding my arms and looking back at him with my own scare- the-hell-out-of-you expression. Man, was he upset.
"I can't believe you! I ain't bein' unreasonable, Robin, you got some kinda nerve thinkin' I'd fuck you up like those bastards did..why the hell would you think that, huh?"
I sighed. He really couldn't give this up, could he? "I'm sorry, Dally, all right? I'll say it 'til I'm blue in the face if that's what it takes for you to believe me. But all I can give you is that...why don't you understand, I was screwy on painkillers and sick of bein' in bed, that's why I made that mistake. It ain't because I don't trust you."
"Like hell you don't," he muttered. "I've seen the way your brothers look at me when we're together. They f'ing hate it. They think I'm gonna take you out to my car and screw you, then drop ya like some hoe. You know that ain't true, Robin."
"Of course I do, Dally. I can't help what my brothers say, but it doesn't mean I listen to them," I explained. "I mean, I love 'em, but it don't mean I do everything they say."
"They still don't trust me, though..not when I'm with you."
"That's their problem, all right? Cuz I trust you, and that's all that matters."
Dallas approached me slowly. "Do you?"
"What?" I asked softly.
"Trust me?"
"More than anybody," I replied, looking up into his eyes as he got closer.
He smiled before leaning down to kiss me gently.
A/N: Aww, I know, isn't Dally sweet? Sorry this chapter is VERY short, but it was kind of necessary before the rumble-which is next! Promise! Thanks as always to the great reviewers!!
Love ya'll, Ash
