Chapter 17 ~ Will You Marry Me?
By three the afternoon everyone had gathered around Mackenzie's pool, with the exception of Pink and Benny, neither of whom anyone had heard from. Mackenzie sat on the steps of the shallow end, sipping on a daiquiri, while the other's told rambling stories of Mackenzie's escapades before her life in Point Pleasant.
Hyde looked at Mackenzie in shock, raising a questioning eyebrow at her. "Please tell me you did not streak across the football field."
"Hey I wasn't alone." Mackenzie said sitting straight up and pointing a defensive finger at her friends. "And let's not forget, Shavonne, about that time at Doll's and a certain someone gave another rather large certain someone a little lovin'." She leaned back against the cement and smiled to herself as she took another sip of her drink. Don gave Shavonne a questioning look. Doll's was a bar on the outskirts of town, which was famous for the most merciless bikers in Texas and the grubby conditions in which was the bar was kept. The girls had sworn they had never been to Doll's, but visited it quite frequently when they were feeling like they needed a little naughty bad fun.
Through the laughter of her friends she could hear the phone ringing from the deck and she stood, stumbling a little, as she ran to answer it. "HELLO?" Mackenzie paused and then screeched into the phone, "DONNA! Hey Hyde, get over here!"
Hyde got out of the pool and walked over to the deck, leaning against the doorframe and crossing his arms across his chest.
"Oh my God, Mac, I just have to tell someone, I'm gonna die if I don't! Just promise not to tell anyone all right? And that goes for Hyde too." Donna spoke in a rushed voice.
Hyde watched as Mackenzie agreed to something, rolling her eyes slightly. But suddenly her eyes grew wide and she spit out the daiquiri she had just drunk. "Holy shit." She whispered, but a smile was quickly spreading across her face. "No, Donna, I agree with them, you are a moron but hey if you guys are happy, what do I know? Just say you guys will wait, a ring is fine and dandy but just wait." She paused again, smiling broadly at Hyde, "No, I promise Donna I wont tell Hyde." She paused walking out to the pool and stood on a nearby chair. She held the phone away from her and covered the phone. "Ok, on the count of three everyone say 'congratulations Mrs. Forman'" She ordered just above a whisper.
Realization spread across Hyde's face and his mouth dropped.
"Yea, yea, yea Donna, hold on." Mackenzie counted to three on her fingers and held up the phone. Everyone in the pool did as they were told, screaming at the top of their lungs. Mackenzie jumped off the chair and bounced back to the deck. She winked at Hyde as she passed him, his mouth still hanging. "I know I'm an ass Donna, that's why you love me so much." She paused again and laughed. "Yea alright. Give my cousin in law my love and tell him Hyde will be calling later so he should probably prepare himself for some verbal abuse." Mackenzie smiled knowingly at Hyde and he simply shrugged his shoulder. She was right and he wasn't going to argue. "Ok bye Donna, love ya kid."
Mackenzie hung up the phone and jumped into Hyde's arms. "They're getting married!" She squeaked, hugging him tightly around his neck.
Hyde shook his head and wrapped his arms around her waist. "I always knew Eric was a dumbass, but Donna? We're gonna have to get them an economy size helmet."
Mackenzie pouted, "I think it's sweet. Stupid, but sweet." She laughed slightly but stopped and became very serious. "Hyde will you marry me?" Mackenzie said with mock passion.
"Of course darling." He said in the same tone of voice. Mackenzie sighed dramatically, "Oh this is the happiest day of my life," and kissed his cheek repeatedly.
Hyde turned his head and looked Mackenzie in the eye, catching her off guard. "If I kissed you, would stop me, or just pretend I was Benny?" Mackenzie opened her mouth to speak but before she could say anything Hyde's mouth was on hers and Mackenzie didn't stop him. She didn't stop him when he slipped his tongue in though her lips to play with her own tongue. She didn't stop him when he sucked on her bottom lip. And she only wanted more when Hyde pulled away. Hyde stopped to see Mackenzie's reaction but she was still standing just as she had been before looking at him through his glasses.
Pink dragged Benny through Mackenzie's living room to the deck where he knew everyone would be waiting. When he saw Mackenzie in Hyde's arms he immediately cleared his throat to announce his and Benny's presence.
Mackenzie looked over Hyde's shoulder and saw Benny standing behind Pink. "Oh guys! You missed it. We just got done celebrating." She walked over and kissed Pink quickly before embracing Benny. "Donna, you remember Donna, my cousin." Benny stared blankly at her. "Pretty redhead."
Wooderson, who was walking past, stopped. "I remember Donna." He said laughing, "I love those redheads." Wooderson snaked his arm around Cynthia's shoulder and walked away.
"Anyway," Mackenzie continued, shaking her head, "She just called, and Hyde's friend Eric just proposed to her! Isn't that great?" Benny shook his head. "What's wrong baby?" Mackenzie cooed softly, rubbing the back of his neck softly. The back of the neck, just below the hairline, was Benny "spot." If the right person touched the "spot" in just the right way it could make you melt. Everyone had one; Pink's was his collarbone, Jody's was her upper arm, Shavonne's was her lower back, and Don loved to have his happy trail rubbed. Mackenzie's had always been her hips. Gently touch her hips and she utterly melted. The two used the other's spot to get what they wanted, but Mackenzie had always been better at it.
Mackenzie didn't bother waiting for Benny to answer; she could tell by the glare he was sending towards Hyde what was wrong. She responded swiftly by slamming her mouth onto his. Benny pulled away, frowning at Mackenzie. "Oh baby, don't be like that. I'm only here for a week." She kissed his neck and began to walk on her toes, pushing Benny backwards out of the deck and into the house.
Hyde watched in disgust and let out a heavy sigh. He turned and walked past the pool, out across the lawn and down the hill to the pond. Past the pond were the woods, where Mackenzie had pointed out the trails she had made as a kid that led around the perimeter of the house. Hyde decided on the one to the right and started walking.
Benny allowed her to push him backwards but switched directions once they were in the hall and pinned her against the wall. He looked at her like he couldn't decide whether to kiss her or break down and cry. Mackenzie chose for him. She arched her neck and cupped either side of Benny's head, pulling him into her. Slowly she let one hand fall down his chest and over his stomach.
"I thought you said you wanted to stop this," Benny breathed harshly, his head down and his eyes still closed from the kiss. He was already set to take her right there and as much as he loved to be with her, it drove him insane that she had so much control over him. It had never occurred to him that he held the same power over her head.
Mackenzie looked at him, frustrated by how long it was taking her to get back in his good graces. Despite his attempts not to look at her, she smiled at him- the same smile Hyde had noticed she shared with her father- and dragged her finger in lazy circles on his stomach. With the other hand she continued to play with the back of his neck, twirling the tiny curls between her fingers.
Benny inhaled sharply, forgetting for the moment why he was mad at Mackenzie. He kissed her powerfully, pushing her head back against the wall, and scooped her lower back with his arm, pulling her in the direction of the stairs.
