Part XIV
[One year later]
It was Valentine's Day. Tallie and Sky were on a date, just walking on the street. Sky covered his face with a hat so people wouldn't notice him. He didn't want this happy moment to be interrupted by anyone.
He had his arm wrapped around her. Her head was leaning against his shoulder. He could still remember the day everything happened.how she kissed him and how she told him that she liked him. It was all like a dream come true and he didn't know what else could be better. Just having her in his arms.
"I'm so glad you got into NYU," said Skyler as they were walking. "Yeah.I studied so hard for the entrance exam. Day and night!" replied Tallie. "No, that's not what I meant. I'm glad because." "Because.?" "Now that you moved to New York, I'll get to see more of you from now on. I missed you so much in the past 3 months you were in Boston. But now I can see you whenever I want! I.like you so much that even when I see you, I still miss you."
"Aww.that is so sweet. I really missed you, too. More than you can ever imagine." Tallie always wondered how he turned out to love her so much. And how she turned out to love him so much. The days when he used to make fun of her were still clear in her memories; whenever she thought about those moments, she couldn't help but smile.
"I don't think things can get any better than they are already," said Sky. "I know.your parents finally got back together! And you finally have the WWE championship for more than 3 weeks, aren't you happy about that?" "Of course, and one more thing, I now have you!"
They stopped walking. They were still in the middle of the crowded street. "I feel bad 'cause I lost that necklace you gave me. God, how can Kelly accidentally flush it down the toilet?! What a dork.I'm sorry." Said Sky. "Oh, it's okay. I have something better to give you anyway, so." "Something better?!" "Yes. You've my heart now." "Hey, that's my line!"
Sky was so touched by her sweetness. He leaned over to kiss her.
"What're you doing?! We are in the middle of the street!" Tallie whispered, getting all embarrassed.
"So what?! Can't I not even kiss my girlfriend? I'm a guy too, you know."
Just when they were about to.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's Skyler!!!!!!!!"
'Oh shoot!' some girl must have noticed him from a distance. She obviously caught other people's attention, making them go crazy.
"Sky!!!! The WWE Champion-------------!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Now the girls were chasing after him. Sky quickly grabbed Tallie's hand tightly, and yelled in panic:
"RUN!!!!!!!"
And they were running like crazy. The people were running like crazy. The whole street turned into some kind of battlefield. Sky and Tallie ran and ran, and turned the corner of the street. A white Mercedes pulled over by them. Sky shouted in relief,
"JIM!!!! SAVE US!!!"
Kelly was sitting in the front. He rolled down the window and yelled, "Dude!!! Get in! Hurry!"
Skyler and Tallie literally jumped into the car. Jim took off as fast as he could ever drive. He just loved moments like this.
"Haha!! You reeeaaallly need to develop some running skills, Sky!" teased Jim. This was going to cause some fuss over the fans, he thought. But it was just too funny. "Oh, shut up!" cried Sky, frowning. "what're ye guys doing out?" "It's Valentine's Day, we're out on a date, a la Billy and Chuck!! Just kidding, we're just shopping. Eye shopping, I meant. Today is not a good day to be out. You should've known that," replied Kelly, in a teasing manner. "Thank you very much for saving us, Jim and Kelly," said Tallie, still breathing hard. "Oh, no prob. How about celebrating group Valentine? Brian, Larry, and John are having some kinda party at home," said Jim, still laughing. "I reckon they were smart. Staying home to be safe, huh?" commented Sky. But he wanted to be alone with her.it was Valentine's Day!!! "Oh well.okay, home it is. But I am not very happy!" whined Sky. Then he leaned on Tallie's shoulder.he loved leaning against her. It brought him such comfort and pleasure.especially when he felt down and depressed.
"Kelly Wells, I'm still mad at you for flushing my necklace down the toilet! How could you~urrr!!" "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Get over it already, will you?! I knew I shouldn't have said something about it," apologized Kelly, still laughing.
They arrived home. It was their new home, to be more specific. They moved to New York permanently and were all living together. Still, the place was nice.
"Tallie-girl! You here!" greeted John as he opened the door. "Stupid Sky must have dragged you out places, huh? We were just about to eat some pizza." "Hey, who're you calling stupid?!" objected Sky. "You are getting prettier everyday, Tallie," complemented Brian, "I wonder how Sky could've ever teased you about being so ugly.you are really quite attractive." Tallie smiled lightly. Sky gave him a quick dirty look and replied, "Don't start hitting on her like that, Brian. I know you don't like girls that don't wear too much makeup. Tallie has a natural beauty so she doesn't need to look like bozo the clown. Definitely not your type, huh? Though I really do feel a strong need for you to raise your standards-" "Okay, okay! Gee.how would you stand him if he marries you, Tallie? He's so possessive.tsk, tsk," said Larry. "Hmm.I really never thought about marrying him, actually," replied Tallie, still smiling. Sky's eyes grew wide. "Whaatttt?! You don' wanna marry me? I'm now hurt." Sky pretended to stab himself in his chest, to portray his fake pain. "No, Sky, I meant I'm too young to think about it.I'm only 25!" John interrupted, "Yeah, besides, she can't marry ye without my permission first, Skyler Dane. So keep on dreaming! Ha ha." "What?! What do you have to do with this?" question Sky. "You know, I'm her brother," replied John. Sky continued, "But you ain't even her real brother!" "Uh~ you're forgetting something important, Skyler. If I didn't block you from mutilating and torturing her when we were little, she wouldn't even be in one piece by now."
Everyone started laughing. Sky's face crumpled up because he hated to admit that it was true. He quickly shifted the subject.
"What kinda party is this, Jim! Huh, huh?!" complained Sky. "Pizza party?! Today?! I hate you all!!!" "Stop complaining will you? Just go to your room then if you don't wanna eat, Skyler!" said Jim. "Fine! C'mon, Tallie-girl. Let's go to my room!" Skyler grabbed her arm. "Wait, I want some pizza too." without even a chance to object, Sky grabbed her and went into his room, slamming the door shut. "Just don't make any moves on her!" yelled Kelly, laughing. "SHUT YOUR MOUTH!!!" shouted Sky in his room.
"Uh, John, where are you going? No pizza?!?! You are resisting food?!! My God!!!" John was putting his coat on, getting ready to go somewhere. Larry's jaw dropped open. "Nowhere. Just to get some fresh air." The he went out quietly. He went outside their house, by a playground, it reminded him of Boston. There he could see the window of Skyler's room. He continued looking at it. He then took an object from his coat pocket. It was a ring. He sighed as he clenched the ring tightly. He silently spoke to himself.
"I reckon I don't need this anymore."
