Chapter 7: Bonnie and Clyde Reunited
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Hey there, Bonnie," a deep, husky voice whispered into my ear.
I froze in mid-motion of elbowing the person in the face, trying to place that voice. And when it finally clicked, my heart skipped several beats. I couldn't believe it. Could it really be?
"Don't you have anything to say to me," the voice asked.
"Hi," I managed to croak out. Once again, I tried to turn around but was once more denied by those strong arms.
"I've missed you," were the three words whispered as warm, soft lips kissed the side of my neck teasingly. "So much that it hurts."
I was completely speechless. I couldn't believe that this was happening... My mind reeled, screaming in surprise, begging me to wake up now if this was a dream. I tried one last time to turn around, and this time succeeded. I then came face to face with someone I had known what seemed to be all of my life and a million years before that. My heart sang at the mere sight of him.
"Johnathan Kincade," I said breathlessly. "Didn't anyone ever tell you not to sneek up on people like that?"
"Yeah, but if I don't listen to them in the first place, why take that advice," he asked, cocking an eyebrow comically.
I studied him closely, my eyes drinking in his every feature greedily. His coal black hair, his chocolate eyes, his tanned skin, his strong arms, his handsome face, his warm smile, his height, all of it. Warm tears of joy flooded my eyes and ran down my cheeks, leaving wet, chilly trails behind them.
"Oh, babydoll, don't cry," he said, kissing them away tenderly. "It's all right. I swear."
"It's not that," I sobbed. "I'm just so happy to see you! I thought I'd never see you again!"
He smiled at me and hugged me close. I thought my heart would burst from all of the joy I felt at that moment. Surely life could get no better...
"Colleen, who's this guy?"
That voice seemed so familiar, but I couldn't recall it. Like it was from some faraway dream that I'd had a long time ago. Who was that? Then it clicked.
It was Ponyboy. I looked over Johnathan's shoulder and saw that Ponyboy and Johnny were standing there, looking at me puzzingly.
"This is Johnathan Kincade," I said happily, wiping my eyes against Johnathan's shoulder. "Johnathan, this is Ponyboy Curtis and Johnny Cade."
Releasing me from his secure embrace, Johnathan turned around an shook hands with the two teens. And for the first time since I got to Tulsa, I realized who Johnny reminded me of: Johnathan. I was shocked that I hadn't seen the resemblance earlier.
About that time, Keith, Steve, Sodapop, and Dallas came strolling along. They stopped, looked at Johnathan and started in on the questions.
"Who are they, Bonnie," Johnathan asked, protectively wrapping an arm around my waist.
"The one with the long sideburns is my cousin and the others are his friends, Clyde," I explained. "Guys, this is my boyfriend, Johnathan Kincade."
"Wait a minute," Keith butted in, stepping foward. "I thought you said that your boyfriend's name is Solo."
Keith's friends looked at me questioningly. Just as Bonnie and Clyde were reuntied, someone had to open their bigh mouth...

Well, that's the end of chapter 7. I'm sorry it isn't longer. I have like no inspiration. Which is why Tears of a Fallen Dove is starting to suck. That sounded kinda perverse considering what that particular story is about...::clears her throat:: Okay then. Anyway. That's it for now. I don't know how much longer this story is going to be but I hope it's pretty long. Later Days, Loyal Readers! Review, Please?
