Down the Road
PG-13
A/N: I'm having the wrestling fever all of a sudden. *Has a seizure* Whoo! Must be because WWE is coming to my place. WHOOO! And I realised that you know, no matter what happens, smoochies just go on forever. HA! That'll show everyone. :). And things are going to come to a little boil soon... Cheers. :)!
Chapter 7
Chris used the twenty dollars to buy guitar strings and a decent meal. Turned out that last night was the most disgusting, hilarious nights he had ever. Kurt was downing his seventh piece and then he sneezed... He happened to prove very well that his floors were sure as hell hard to clean. He even wanted to puke what he had this morning just thinking about it. That was already a fifth of Mr Washington for Chris.
He took a bite out of the Big Mac in one hand and flipped through a Bigo magazine. What? Big Macs are cheap, and well, they feed a person. That's decent enough. "Excuse me dude, no eating in here. And are you going to buy that?" A teenage boy asked, pointing to the magazine.
"Well FINE! If you won't let me do a little browsing in your store, then I never will!"
"Could you keep it down man? You're gonna scare everyone away."
"HEY! This so-called store won't even let you have a decent look at the TITLES! I'M NEVER COMING BACK AGAIN AND NO ONE SHOULD TOO!"
***
Wow, that was fun. He got sent out of the store by the manager, some guy named Greg. It wasn't like he was going there a second time ever in his life anyway. What should he do today? He didn't want to work. Working sort of wasted time. The Chris would never need any more conditioning.
He was thinking about it most of the time. About the kiss, what else? Everytime he thought about it, he felt like he was floating. Maybe he was, just that he didn't notice it. Everything was possible when you were in love. Suddenly, his cell phone rang. The vibration caused him to yelp and jump a little. The passers-by stared at his reaction, lasting about a couple of seconds until they turned back.
"Hello?"
"Hey man, she's looking all over for you."
"Tofu man? Why couldn't you just give her my cell phone number?"
"She wants to talk to you about something face to face... It seemed pretty important."
"Where is she?"
"Back at her place. Where else?"
"Okay man, thanks. I could never survive without a piece of beancurd by my side."
"Shutup and go see her," Kurt replied grumpily.
Chris pressed the top button of his Nokia. What could she possibly want?
***
Stephanie paced around the room. "I need to talk to you..."
"Is there any more of that terrible kissing? Because honestly, I warn you that my breath could possibly smell strongly of a Big Mac."
"Its not that." Chris suddenly had a bad feeling about her tone. "Yesterday was okay, right? I mean, it's not like you took it the wrong way."
"What do you mean?" Yeah, what did she mean? He was starting to get worried.
"Chris, you know we're friends right?"
"Yeah. I mean, DUHHH."
She sighed. "I'm just asking you to be my best friend in the meantime." Best friends? That didn't sound so bad.
WAIT A MINUTE.
Kurt did tell him that best friends never got together. And somehow, he was starting to take it very seriously. "Best friends?"
"Yeah. I mean, it's not like you like me right?"
*I DO! I DO! I VERY VERY VERY VERY MUCH DO!* he thought, panicking. "Your point?"
Stephanie took some time to piece her sentences together. "Well, I think that you know, you've been a really great friend to me, and I appreciate it. And you know, when I do find a soulmate, I want you to be there for me. I mean, I'm not saying that you have to be there, but I mean, I'd like you to be there with me every step I go. And I'd really appreciate that."
What the hell just come out of her mouth? This was insane. She couldn't do this to him. She couldn't! No! Not now when he was head over heels about something. That something was her. "Does this mean that we can't date anymore?"
Now what was THAT?
"Did we ever date?"
He was going to deflate right there and then. What kind of question was that? What was all that... *Delifrance! Kurt accompaniment! The restaurant with that lard fart! The peach roses that were sitting on the kitchen counter!*
"Those were dates?"
Oops. He must've said it out loud. "What were those?"
"Nights out. Going out. Going out doesn't mean that they're dates." She looked at him. "Oh Chris. Did you think it that way? You did, didn't you?"
How EVIL! "Um... No, I didn't." He was lying now. "You know, if its a best friend you need, I'll be there to fill in the job."
"Thankyou so much. You don't know how much that meant." He stood up and Steph hugged him. It lasted longer than usual, maybe because inside he knew he'd never stand a chance anymore if her mentality was like that. "I really can't imagine me with you at this point of time." What exactly was happening at this point of time?
"I'm sorry, but I have to go see Kurt about something."
***
"And she said she couldn't imagine me with her at this point of time." Kurt fell silent. "Oh man, I think I might cry."
"Oh man. Oh man, oh man, oh man. Did she really say that?"
"Would I lie about this kind of thing?"
Kurt leaned back on his chair. "You ruined it man."
"I ruined it?! How the hell did I ruin it?"
"Well, you didn't tell her that you were IN love with her. I TOLD you so. And second, I think you weren't ready for her. At all."
"Oh, thanks. That sure made me feel better," Chris replied in a sarcastic tone. "Screw. Its all happening too fast man. I mean, it was just yesterday. YESTERDAY. I can't experience this."
"Yes you can," he told him. "But you see, I'm sure you can prove me wrong that best friends can't be together."
"I hope so. I really do."
"In the mood for ten bucks?"
"I could use it..."
"Ten bucks you go to the catholic church two blocks away and moon the front entrance." Kurt paused. "You on?"
"Why not?" Chris replied, with a smile forming on his face.
***
"Stephanie, I thought Chris was my best friend."
"Yeah, he is. He still is."
"How can he have two best friends? There can only be one bestest of the best friends, and you know, I think that would be me."
Steph frowned. "He's my support. You're his support."
"And that's not fair because no one's supporting me."
"That's your problem, not mine."
"You can't just tell him to not like you like that! It's hurting him."
"That's not the point!"
"That is the point! Steph, its been three days since you told him, and I can't stand him looking so sad. When he mooned the priest in the church and got the ten bucks, he should've been happier than he was. He likes you. Alot."
"He does?" she stopped and her face fell. "I hate to break this out to you Kurt, but... I've met someone."
"YOU WHAT?"
"I met him two days ago and I thought he was nice... I can't believe he didn't tell me earlier. I can't believe YOU didn't tell me earlier."
"Well, doesn't matter now. He's pretty over it."
"You told me that he wasn't enjoying his silly bet."
Kurt sighed. *When I have a plan, doesn't mean that I'm going to tell you all the time princess.* "You know, I think he'd do better as your best friend. Sorry that I ever thought of fighting with you." He had a plan alright. But he wasn't sure if it was going to work.
"It's okay." She sighed. "What's that betting game all about anyway?"
"Oh... Are you sure you want to play it? Cuz sometimes there's just somethings that you think you can't do."
"Sure I can. I can do anything."
"Okay then," he said, taking out a ten dollar bill. "Ten bucks... Says..." He cupped his hand over her ear and told her the bet. She turned red for a moment, but she had to show that she could play games and be good at them too.
"Come on," he urged. "Show me what you got."
And Stephanie did her dare.
