~!* Chapter 3 *!~
Molly wacked me on the head with her pillow, "wake up!" she ordered. I sighed and looked at her alarm clock: 7:30. I grumbled about having to get up this early on a Saturday,"hey, don't you wanna see Andrew?" Molly asked while brushing her hair.My eyes brightened and I leaped up and pulled on one of my new outfits. It was a cute tank top with a picture of a girl holding a volleyball with the words in glitter green: Baller. I thought it was pretty cute with the kahki hip huggers I had gotten. I looked down, my toned stomach was showing with my belly-button peircing gleaming, it was a bar bell with a Play Boy bunny on it. Moly looked over at me and told me I looked hot, I wacked her with a pillow and called her a gaywad.She shrugged," if I was Andrew I'd..." Molly didn't finish because she got a scheming look on her face and laughed evilly. I pretty much knew where her mind was and gave her a good slap on the back of the head because of it. "Hey, I'm just sayin'" she muttered rubbing her head as we walked out of her room and downstairs to the kitchen to tell her mom bye and we'd be back around 6:00 for dinner. Molly's mom smiled, she was getting used to me spending most of my day with them, it was kinda like having my own mom back. I quickly put my brushed hair into a high ponytail and we set off to the arcade to play some games and check out the hot guys. "Is this the same girl that was playing with stuffed animals last night?" Andrew said in awe as he looked at me. I smiled then headed over to a racing game, popped in a quarter and started playing. I felt something warm on my shoulder, Andrew was resting his chin on it as he watched me play. I blushed and payed extra attention to the game so he wouldn't see my pleased expression. I hit the highscore and Andrew gave me a high-five as he took my place and tried to bet it. Molly walked over to me, "he sure is paying a lot of attention to you even though he has a girlfriend" she whispered in my ear. I shrugged but felt butterflys in my stomach.Both Molly and I laughed as he crashed and only got in second place. He looked at us and I sticked out my tongue playfully, he laughed then popped in another quater saying he wasn't gonna let a chick flick going, stuffed animal playing girl like me beat him. "Good luck" I told him as he crashed again, he scowled and put in yet another quarter. This time I leaned over and rested my chin on his broad shoulders like he had done when I was playing, he looked at me out of the corner of his eye.I got lost in his eyes and suddenly heard a noise and we found out that he had crashed again when we were looking at each other. I lifted my head as he got up and returned to the counter to serve a bunch of giggling 13 year olds. Molly squezzed my hand,"he was so checking you out" she told me,"I know" I muttered looking at him handing the girls some sodas while smiling all buisness like.I geuss I kinda forgot that Reika was sitting in a nearby booth studying, she looked me over and scowled. Molly snorted, "dude, she's ugly!" she exclaimed, I wacked her over the head and went over to the Sailor V game. It was funny seeing a short,squat mini-version of my former self make kissie faces to monsters and destroying them. I was in the right mind to sue the company for making me look like such a push over. I geuss it was better than the new Sailor Moon game that had just came in. Serena's meat-balls were huge and her mini skirt was way to short. The mini-version of Sailor Moon threw a flemsy orange disk at the monsters that destroyed them imediatly which wasn't even the way it went. First the other scouts and I would weaken the monster first and THEN she would destroy the monster. I sighed, poor Mars, Jupiter, and Mercury, the game didn't even include them and they were SO important. The only characters were: me, Luna, Sailor Moon, and Tuxedo Mask, the game sucked big time!I looked up and to my horror saw that Reika was talking heatedly to Molly. Molly's face turned red with anger, she said some heated words and walked away. "I can't believe he is going out with such a witch!" Molly hissed glaring at Reika. "What the heck?! What did you say to her!" I screeched imagining the worse. Molly smiled at me, "oh I told her that her boyfriend was VERY good at customer service" Molly laughed. I looked at her seriously, "in those EXACT words?!" I asked,Molly nodded, I laughed, that was Molly for you. Still, it was incredibally stupid, it might get Andrew in trouble with Reika! Then my shiny lips formed a small 'o' as I figured out that was excactlly what Molly had hoped would happen. "You fox!" I murmured, Molly laughed and linked arms with me. "Don't worry their relationship wouldn't have lasted long anyway" she told me as we walked over to the counter to finally order some breakfast."Andrew!" Reika called just as we reached the counter Andrew held one finger up. Reika stomped her foot, "no! come now!" she yelled, Andrew winced and went over slowly to his girlfriend.I now knew what Molly had meant about the relationship not lasting long, if Reika ordered him around like that all the time I'd be surprised that they weren't already broken up. "Poor Andrew" Molly whispered a hint of guilt as Reika shouted at him and waved her hands to emphize her point. Andrew flinched every time her voice grew sharper and I truely did feel sorry for him.Molly whispered that maybe we should leave instead of further complicating their problems, I agreed with her and we left.
The walk back to her house was akwardly silent, she was staring off to nowhere and I was fumbling with my belly peircing. "Penny for your thoughts" I muttered while tapping her on the shoulder. Molly smiled, "I was just thinking about Melvin" Molly told me her eyes shining with fondness. I smiled back at her, "so whens the wedding?" I teased, Molly stared at her feet, "I wish" she mumbled.My eyes grew wide, Molly really liked Melvin!! "What, do you not think he's cute?" Molly asked staring at my round eyes.I smiled,"well his glasses are pretty sexy.."I teased, Molly smiled and licked her lips. I hit her arm lightly and told her to stop and that was a majorly bad picture."I don't think so.."Molly sighed starting to stare off into oblivion. I crinkled my nose, Molly really had it bad!We reached her door and she told me not to mention Melvin at all in her house because her mom really doesn't like that she is growing up. I nodded and we walked in, there was a note on the door telling Molly that her mom would be late from getting back from the jewlry shop and to order some pizza instead. Molly and I smiled,"yummers" Molly squeled picking up the phone and pushing the third speed dial. "I take it your mom is late alot huh?" I asked her, Molly shrugged, "it's okay we're still pretty tight ya know?" she muttered. I nodded, my mom and I kept in touch, she was going to move to Japan with me but she had to stay because of my younger sister Jamie and buisness but, we were still good friends in spite of the distance between us. Actually my phone bill had racked up with long distance calls to England and I figured I'd have to get a job soon. We went into the living room and popped in Fiddler on the Roof to watch until the pizza came. We were at the part when the Jewish part of the village was being ransacked and we both jumped at the sound of the door bell. "Pizza!" Molly squeled running to the door,her socks slidding on the wood as she came to a halt and opened the door. Her face was flushed and her eyes grew wide as she recongnized the person in the Papa John's uniform. "Me-Melvin!" Molly stuttered stumbling back to get her purse to pay for the pizza. I looked over my shoulder, ther stood a slightly taller Melvin holding our pizza box and smiling. His teeth were white and straight and I could see why Molly liked him, he had changed alot since the time I first met him. "The one and the only" he laughed in a deeper voice, Molly blushed and handed him the money with a shakey hand. "Hey, Melvster! Wanna watch Fiddler on the Roof with us?" I offered coming up behind Molly. "Yeah, sure, let me check back with the boss back at the place and I'll come straight back" he told us flashing a dazzling smile at Molly before he tipped his hat and ran to his car. Molly watched him drive off then shut the door and let out a heavy sigh. "So, Molly, do you wanna change into your cute short shorts and tank top pj's for Melvin?" I asked wiggling my eyebrows. She looked at me then speed up the stairs and changed into them. She sat back down beside me and began to brush her hair feverently. I laughed to myself, I've never seen Molly this uptight with anything let alone Melvin! Her pj's had a little green turtle in the center of her shirt and a bunch like it on the boxers,she had just gotten them on our shopping trip the other day. Molly kept smoothing out imagenary wrinkles in her boxers as she waited for Melvin to return. I had pasued the movie when she went to get the pizza and we hadn't started it up again yet. THere was a knock on the door and Molly jumped then began to fidgit nervously. I rolled my eyes and went to get the door. "Hiya" Melvin smiled in his Papa John's hat,normal jeans and baggy shirt, I stepped aside and let him in. Molly peered over the side of the couch at him, she began to linger at his broad shoulders and blushed.We sat down,Molly in the middle of us, giving Melvin plenty of time to admire Molly's long legs. I got up and got the pizza and we each took a peice and I pushed play and the movie started up again. We munched on the chewy cheese and Melvin's low singing voice was added to our slightly high ones during the musical peices as we tried our best to emitate the actors.The movie ended and we all clapped as if we were in the theater, "so what now?Another movie?" I suggested looking at them, they were just staring into each others eyes, looking like they were about to kiss. I crinkled my nose and went over to the movie rack. I pulled out Forest Gump and headed over to the couch to find Molly and Melvin in a lip locked french kiss. I practically squelled, it was so romantic, until...her mom walked in. "MOLLY ELIZABETH!" her mom yelled, Molly and Melvin jumped at the harshness in the new voice and reluctantly pulled apart.Melvin stared at his shoes, both of their cheeks flushed with embarassment. "I told you that you could get pizza, not make out with the delivery boy!" she screamed, Molly blushed. "We weren't making out Mom..just kissing" Molly finished lamely, the situatuion WOULD be funny if it wasn't happening to Melvin and Molly."Mom this is Melvin,
Melvin this is Mom" Molly muttered trying her best to lighten the mood. "Nice to met you Melvin, now will you GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!" Molly's mom finished, her temples throbbing. "Yes Ma'am" Melvin muttered, smart enough not to say anything to Molly right now. He scurried out the door and in a couple seconds flat we heard his tires squeling. "Molly, I'm so dissapointed in you, honey!" she exclaimed sitting down next to her daughter. Molly shuffed her feet and looked at her hands that were folded neatly into her lap. Her mother took one of her hands, "would you please let me meet the guy BEFORE you have him on our couch french kissing him in your pajamas!" she laughed, Molly looked up completely surprised at her mothers attitude."I remeber Melvin, good kid, good student..aparently a good kisser.."she added ruffling her daughter's hair while taking a peice of pizza we had saved for her. Molly smiled, I was surprised that they we both taking this so well, I geuss they WERE really tight. "SO how was your first kiss..that was your first kiss right?!" she added, I walked over and sat next to Molly also eager to her the story. Molly nodded then started to tell how it happened, "well you see, um, we were like,um, staring at each other, and,um, Mina went to get another movie, and,um, we both kinda leaned in and,um, it was like BAM!" Molly finished akwardly, me and her mom laughed at the way she had described it. "Like Bam,huh?" her mom smiled, then getting up she went to her room to get some sleep. Molly exhaled loudly, and looked up at me smiling, "Mina!" she whispered excitedly, I squeezed her hand then we went up stairs to sleep.
