The Feeling - Chapter Six: Shock
Tino woke up that Saturday morning with quite possibly the biggest grin on his face ever. He had just come off the greatest night of his life. Lor and Tino had just sat there watching the sunset holding each other, not saying anything, just enjoying each other's company. As Tino got himself dressed he knew that the night before would be ingrained into his memory forever. He whistled a happy tune as he felt like a new man since his dream had finally been fulfilled. Never in a million years would he have thought that things would turn out this way. Tino had to keep reminding himself the entire time that he was really with Lor now.
"Wow. I have never felt this good. I know people always talked about how great it was to be in love, but now that I am experiencing it I know what they mean. Nothin' can bring me down from this high," Tino thought to himself.
He went downstairs to get his breakfast and found Lor and his mom sitting at the kitchen table.
"Oh hey Lor, you're here early," Tino commented.
"Yeah well I wanted to talk with you about something," Lor answered.
Tino's mom spoke up, "Congratulations Tino, it looks like things worked out for you after all. You know, I always thought you two would make a cute couple."
"Thanks, Tino's mom," Lor replied.
"Geez, mom. You're embarrassing me," Tino said.
"Oh come on Tino you should be happy that your mom thinks we make a good couple this way we don't have to sneak around here and stuff," Lor said to him.
"Yeah, I guess that's true," Tino answered.
"Well even if you guys did sneak around I would still know so it's just easier this way," Tino's mom commented.
Both Tino and Lor looked at each other and than at Ms. Tonitini knowing full well that she would know all of what they did.
Tino's mom chuckled a bit, "Don't worry I won't pry into your alone time. Well, not often at least. Anyway how would you two like some tofu pancakes?"
"I don't think so, remember Lor had something she wanted to talk to me about? Come on, Lor let's go to my room so we can talk in a more secure environment."
Tino led Lor up to his room to try and escape his mom's ear range.
Once there Tino shut the door and asked, "So what did you need to talk to me about?"
"Well, I was thinking about Carver and Tish. I think we should tell them about us, but I'm worried about how they will take the news. What if it's too much for them? Or what if they don't believe us at all? What if they just laugh at us?"
"Well, this is something serious to think about. I also agree that we have to tell them, but you are right that there is no guarantee that this will go over well at all. Think of it this way though, we have known Carver and Tish for years now and we have always been honest with them so we need to be honest now as well. Sure it may be weird for them to accept this at first, but I am sure they will come around. We just need to have faith in them that's all."
"I hope you are right."
"Of course I am. We are meeting up with them later today at the Snack Shack, so we will tell them then, okay?"
"Okay!"
Lor jumped up and kissed Tino. He was startled at first, but then he remembered that kissing and such were now fair game between the two of them. He decided to return the favor and he pulled her close and laid his own kiss on her. The two smiled at each other in their loving embrace, and went back to kissing each other, letting everything fade from their minds.
"Man, where are those two? I'm hungry now, damn it!" Carver spouted.
"Calm down they will be here. You just have to have some patience." Tish answered him.
"I have patience, and my patience is hungry."
"That doesn't even make any sense."
"I know because I'm so damn hungry!"
Tish shook her head, "Carver, that- hey look there they are."
She pointed as Tino and Lor came running up.
"Where, in the good and holy name of all that is cool, have you been?!" Carver yelled as they arrived.
"Sorry, Tino had a bit of a sore throat and I was showing him an old fashion remedy that I know of," Lor answered.
"It certainly did the trick all right. Why every bit of my throat is cured, it feels completely revitalized," Tino added.
"Really? That's pretty amazing." Tish said.
"Regardless, it delayed our snacking already, we don't need detailed explanations delaying it anymore," Carver interjected his hunger taking control.
"Alright, alright let's get the food before Carver has a coronary," Tish commented.
The four of them got their fries and chug-a-freezes, and they sat at their usual table. Once seated, Lor gave Tino a bit of a nudge to signal for them to reveal their relationship.
Tino took a deep breath and started, "Hey you guys? I, uhh, we have something really important to tell you."
Carver and Tish exchanged glances due to Tino's serious tone.
"Okay, proceed," Carver finally said.
"Well this isn't easy to say, but you see Lor and I well we, we kind of, that is to say that we, under these circumstances, uhhh, we felt that, this is a mutual, uhhh, it's in our best interests, well what I'm tryin' to say is that we feel that, uhhh, we, uhhh, you know?"
"What in the hell are you blabbering about?" Carver asked.
"What I mean is, is that, uhhh-"
"Tino and I are going out. We are a couple now, that is the important news," Lor interjected suddenly while reaching out to hold Tino's hand.
A silence fell among the four as Carver and Tish went back to eating the food. Tino and Lor looked at each other not sure about what to make of the situation.
"Did you guys hear me?"
"Yeah, we heard you. You and Tino are-"
Carver didn't finish as he passed out on to the floor followed in suit by Tish.
"Well, that certainly wasn't the reaction I was expecting," Tino commented.
"Yeah, same here, but I guess we should take care of these two now."
Tino and Lor helped a half-conscious Tish and half-conscious Carver outside to a nearby bench. After a minute or two both of them fully came around.
"Wait, now let me get this straight you two, meaning Lor and Tino, are going out, meaning you go on dates?" Carver asked.
"Yes, that's right," Tino answered.
"Hahahaha! I get it now. You two are playing a prank on us. You almost had me fooled there. You guys are good," Carver said.
"Carv, this isn't a joke we really are going out now," Lor told him.
"Yeah right. I won't fall for this joke."
"Tish, you believe us right?" Tino asked.
"I-I don't know, I mean you and Lor, it doesn't seem like it could be true."
"You have to believe us. You know what? I'll prove it!" Lor said defiantly.
She grabbed Tino and pulled him into a kiss and made it very apparent that she was using tongue. Tish and Carver stared in complete shock not being able to take their eyes away from their two friends making out.
After the kiss broke Lor asked, "So what do you think now?"
Neither Carver nor Tish could say anything. Their mouths hung agape with little squeaking noises being the only sound they could make.
"Come on guys say something," Tino urged.
Finally, Tish spoke up, "I think I have to go lie down and think about this,"
"Yeah, I agree with Tish. I'll see you guys later," Carver said in agreement.
The two of them left, leaving Tino and Lor behind.
"Well, that didn't go to smoothly at all," Lor commented.
Tino came up from behind her and held her hand, "It's just a shock to them, I think that they will get over it. I mean think about it, what if they had just told you that they were going out together?"
"I would completely freak out. I guess I see your point."
Lor leaned up against Tino and sighed, "I really hope they come around."
"Don't worry we just have to have trust in them. To be honest, I'm still coming to terms with what this means myself."
"What do you mean? You don't like this?"
"No, I don't like it. I absolutely LOVE it. When I say I'm coming to terms I mean that I am free to do this."
Tino lifted Lor's head up and began kissing her letting their tongues duel. After a few minutes of their oral dance, the two separated.
"Hey, let me walk you home," Tino said to Lor.
"Alright, there is nothing left to do here. Perhaps tomorrow Tish and Carver will have calmed down."
"Of course they will, so for now let's ride."
The two walked off hand in hand hoping that their friends would come to terms with this shocking development.
End of Chapter Six
Has anyone noticed that I end every chapter by somehow working in the chapter's title? I know I have, but that's because I intentionally do it so you know why the chapter is called what it's called. Except, I didn't do it for chapter four because it didn't fit there. Just some useless trivia that I knew you didn't care about, so I felt the need to mention it. Two more things: First, I think the phrase "oral dance" is funny so if it you feel it's too racy for a PG-13 story too damn bad and secondly, to all the people who are reading this and especially to all who are reviewing this thanks for the support. Stay tuned and keep readin' and reviewin'.
