Back at the Stevens fort, Ren was busy in her room chatting away with Ruby.
" So, you hear anything new and interesting lately?" Ren asked the gossip queen.
" Well, there's supposed to be a totally hot new guy from Spain coming in next week. His name is Roberto. And lets see, Tracy Torres is newly single after she caught Mark messing around in the back of the gym with Alicia Owens. But that's okay because I never felt they went good together anyway. Can you imagine what their kids would look like with his teeth and her nose?" Ruby said pausing to laugh with Ren, " Oh," she said going on "and word on the street is that you may be replaced by Twitty's new little girlfriend,"
" I'm not being replaced! She's just going to jam with us some," Ren said very sharply but stopped short once the whole message got through, " Wait, you called her his new girlfriend?"
" Yeah, Preston told Debra, who in turn told Sammy Jones, that relayed to Jonathan who told me that they were cutting class fifth hour and ended up kissing. And they haven't really been apart from each other since," Ruby announced.
"Well isn't that something. That girl works her magic fast,"
" You jealous of her because she's taking your place?"
" For the last time! She...Is....Not...Taking...My....PLACE!" Ren yelled.
Good Saturday morning campers and camptresses. The boys and girls stayed up about all night talking to each other. But it was Randy that stayed up the latest of them all. The reason being that around two in the morning sudden inspiration hit her. So, she quietly snuck out of Twitty's sleeping touch and grabbed his guitar, a pen, and some paper and quietly went outside to write. She finished just before the sky begin to pink up with the approaching dawn.
But soon, sleep caught up with her, and she quickly finished up the last line of lyric before slipping off on the patio deck floor; her arms curled around the possession of one of the best things in her life. And as her eyes began to close, his eyes started to open. This was the day that he was going to start her lessons. But where was she?
He knew that he had gone to sleep with her right there. Why would she had left? He figured he should better go find her. He went up stairs and found nothing.
'She's got to be outside,' He though. She was. Call him clairvoyant if you will. He couldn't help but smile at her with her arm wrapped around the guitar and her chin resting in the curve of the top. He wanted to lock this picture away inside of him forever. Her so relaxed and her hair blowing in the salt wind. She like that didn't make her look so tough. She seemed like she needed protecting somewhat. So small and seemingly alone in a vast world. He couldn't reach into the never-ending aspects of his mind to find logic to why she wanted to be with him.
He wanted to hold her and take care of her. Be the best thing he could for her. Watch over her when she was afraid. Carry her when she couldn't go on anymore on her own power. It was a feeling so strange that it was some kind of overwhelming on his spirit. But he felt so good with it and he didn't want that feeling to stray from him.
This moment made him think of that Aerosmith song called Angel. From what he could remember, which wasn't that good, in the video, there was a blonde going wild somewhat, but deep down, she was amazing too.
He couldn't hold back anymore. He had to have her in his arms. So, he went over and got on his knees and planted a beautifully tender kiss on her. Then moved the edge of his thumb around the contour of her face. This feeling kept getting stronger in the pit of his stomach. He had no idea what it was.
Her eyes were again flung open by his touch. She looked a bit startled and then slightly mad, but she smiled at the now focused sight of his face.
" Hey, what time is it?" she asked.
" About six thirty," he answered
" Man, I was up all night boy,"
" Doing what?"
"Writing,"
" Oh cool. Ready to get started?"
" On what?" Randy asked
" Your lessons," Twitty replied
" Oh, no. You come here first," she said pulling him to her closely, " Stay here with me for a bit,"
Remember those feelings he was having earlier about being completely out of his mind in love? She was starting to have those feelings too. You thinking maybe that they might be? Only time can tell.
" Come on lets go," he said getting up
"Wait," She said as she yanked him back down and kissed him the first kiss that she started and the first one that had been witness by anyone.
" Dude, Tawny you see that?" Louis said from up on the wrap around up stairs balcony.
" Yeah, I did. I think it rocks," She said as she handed him something to drink
" Yeah, I kinda do too. But its a bit weird. She's only been here a week and look at the damage she's done," He said and when got a look he soon changed his tone with a clear of his thought, " So to speak," he said with a smile. She then put her hand on his shoulder and gave it a squeeze.
