Wooh! Chapter 3 *does happy dance. *! Thanks to everyone who reviewed my story so far, ya'll are what keep me writing....:-). Someone asked if this takes before or after the book, and the answer is it starts before the book, goes through the book, and ends after the book. I really hope this chapter doesn't suck, I wrote it Saturday night around 1am, and I'm hoping it's not too bad, so ya'll let me know what you think. Speaking of letting me know what you think I need to know who you'd rather see a romance fiction wrote about Two-Bit or Johnny. I was kinda thinking Johnny cuz he doesn't seem to get much love, but ya'll let me know what you want k? Ummm.... same disclaimer as before except I own Jeff and Beck too, but you can have them cuz I really don't care. Just don't take Lexa, (without asking nicely first. *wink, wink *). Ok I'm going to stop rambling now, and let your read the story...REVIEW!!!! 0u+z, Daze
Jeff Baker, Lord I hated that guy. He was your basic soc, equipped with little more then his Daddy's money and semi good looks. He had the charm of a snake and ½ the intelligence. And the idea of a pential fight with him hung heavy on my conscience. He had dark brown eyes, so dark the almost resembled Johnny's, except they had a cold hard gaze to them. His red hair was cut to his scalp in a buzz cute, and his nose seemed almost too large for his face. Dallas once told me 'never pick a fight with a guy who has no good looks to lose. Cuz they'll fight rough as can be, and you'll always come out worse off, even if you win.' I knew that Jeff was living proof of that remark. "What do you want Jeffery? I have things to do and I can't waste my time with goons like you." My tone was bored as I said this, unfailing with no hint of fear. I wasn't scared of this guy, and threat was evident in my voice. He tightens his grip on my arms, and leaned close to my face. "I heard your cousin Dallas tried to pick up Becky the other night." He snarled referring to his whore of a younger sister. "This doesn't mean anything to me so far, so if you have a point to make please get on with it, you're wasting my time." I yawned, and with a toss of my head removed a strand of hair from my eyes. "I don't like trash trying to get fresh with my little sister. And I'm gonna teach that cousin of yours a lesson if I found out it's true. Is it true?" Glory this guy was dumber the I had originally suspected.
Like I'm going to tell him that Dal had sleeped with his kid sister and let him bet Dal to a pulp. Yeah that would happen the same day hell froze over. I kept the bored tone in my voice as I replied "I don't keep a list of girls my cousin screws, and it just breaks my heart that I can't help you. Maybe next time you and her are going at it you should see if she screams out his name!" Everyone in earshot broke into laughter and Jeff turned red with anger. Oh glory, my big mouth and me. I should go to confession after school, I thought dully. "Why you little..." He drew his hand back and I tried to loosen the muscles in my face, hoping tat would ease the impact of the punch. This wouldn't be the first time I'd gotten a black eye from a guy looking for trouble with my cousin, and it wouldn't be that last. But I didn't rat on family, and Dal was the only family I had. He brought his arm forward, but in mid air someone grabbed his arm, and spun him around. Johnny staggered forward and grabbed my hand pulling me into the crowd. As we ran towards the main entrance of the school, I glanced over my shoulder and grinned when I saw Two-Bit Matthew's pounding Jeff into the floor.
We busted out the front door and sprinted across the school lawn. The three of us hoped into Two-Bit's broken down truck and waited for him to emerge from the school. I looked at the faces of the two boys next to me, and couldn't help but laugh. They were both pale, with huge eyes and mouths hanging opened. "What were you thinking?" Pony stammered with eyes still huge with surprise, sending me into a fresh fit of giggles. When I could finally speak without gasping for breath I exclaim as coolly as I could manage, "I haven't the slightest idea." And broke into a fresh fit of laughter.
After about three minutes the door opened and Two-Bit sat down, grinning from ear to ear at me. "Al, that was the smoothest remark I've ever heard. You've done me mighty proud." He wiped away a fake tear and I took a bow. "Thank you very much. I learned from the best." Two-Bit clutched his heart, eyes wide with fake pride. "Such a sweet girl." A put a dumb look on my face and tried to sound bewildered, "Two-Bit I was talking about Jonnhy." And we both cracked up. He put the car in drive, going straight over a garden the school had planted next to the parking lot, which sent us into another fit of laughter. Johnny and Pony just started at us not quit understanding how Two Bit and I could play me almost getting punch off as a joke. I couldn't explain it to them, but Two Bit and I understood our humor at such a time. We both used humor to cover or when we were scared, or upset, or remembering things we longed to forget.
We had a weird relationship that at sometimes extended past the point of friends. We'd fooled around a few times, but it never went beyond that. He never pressured me for sex, and I was glad, because I know I wasn't ready. I'm still not. We never tried an actual relationship, there was too great an age difference, and I don't think either of us thought of the other in that light. I'd never messed around with anyone other then him, because I trust him. He'd been my first real kiss when I was 12 and he was 15, I would never forget that kiss.
We were sitting on the Curtis' front porch, waiting for one of them to get home and sipping on Cokes. Well at least I was, what Two-Bit had really been drinking I shall leave unsaid. And I'd been saying something about not being sure if I knew how to kiss right, and suddenly his lips were on mine. They were really soft, and warm, and it sent a shock wave through my body. When we'd pulled back, he assured me with no waver in his voice that I was an excellent kisser.
I still remember one time when I'd been at Two-Bits house while his mom was at work and his sister was at a friend's house. We'd been lying on his bed, making out pretty heavily and his hand had found it way under my shirt. Then all of a sudden the door had swung open and my cousin had strolled in. Two-Bit and I had sprung straight up and Two Bit was already starting to say something, when Dallas said simply, "You screw her, and I break every bone in your body." Closed the door and left. Considering he'd pretty much ruined the moment I'd kissed two Bit one last time, and ran out the door after him. I found him the living room watching TV and I asked him why he wasn't pissed. He'd shrugged and said simply, "If your screwing around with Two Bit, I know he won't make you do anything. I trust him, and I'd rather you be with him the some ass on the street." I don't think I actually breathed for 3 minutes after that.
"Lex, you ok?" Johnny's soft vice asked from beside me and for the second time that day snapped my from the thoughts. I looked at him and grinned, "Yeah I'm fine I was just thinking about my first kiss.....Don't ask..." I answered honestly and out of the cornor of my eye I saw Two-Bit grin. Turning smoothly I cocked an eyebrow at Two Bit, "And what are YOU grinning about Mr. Matthew's?" He looked at me, a smile playing on his lips and a glime in his eye and laughing he answer, "The same thing." We smiled at each other, and the two others in the car sent us confused looks (no one knows about that kiss except us, and no one know about us except Dallas.)
We pulled in the DX station where Pony's brother Sodapop and his friend Steve Randle worked. Two-Bit parked the truck and Johnny and Pony opened the door easily and started walking towards a car with a pair of legs under it and a group of girls around it. I Grabbed Two-Bit hand just before he got out and he turned towards me. There was no joking tone in my voice as I said simply. "Thanks, Two-Bit. That was really sweet of you." He smiled, and replied "I wasn't going to let anyone hurt you Lexa. You mean to much to me." That really caught me off guard, and I searched his face for some indication of a joke. Two-bit never said anything like that to me, ever. But he was serious, and I didn't know how to react. He did though he leaned down kissed me lightly on the lips, before sliding out of the car and closing the door. Leaving me sitting there feeling extremely giddy.
