***Hey everyone....I didn't go to school today, so I had time to write
another chapter...yay! I know this is getting a little bit boring and it's
just a lot of fluff, but keep reading cause it'll pick up in the next 3
chapters or so.
Danihum: Thanks for reviewing and sorry about your little sister..oops...lol. I hope you keep reading the story, and I'm glad you like it. And thanks for saying it was cute and not cheesy, because most of the time I just think it's cheesy, but I can't help it! I guess it's borderline cheesy and cute. Thanks again!
Goddess of Silent Tears: Thanks so much for reviewing, you always have something nice to say about it, even when it's a really stupid chapter....lol. Hope you like this chapter as well.
Well enjoy the chapter and R/R please! ~Sweet Dreams***
Let's Try This Again
"Hey Chris," I whispered. "Yeah," he murmured. "Are we gonna sit on this couch for the rest of our lives," I asked? "Well that was the plan," he whispered. "Oh. Okay," I whispered back. We had been laying down with each other on the couch all afternoon. Not that I didn't enjoy cuddling with Chris and being lazy. I live for being lazy, but my butt was getting numb, and I really had to pee. "Why," he asked whispering? "Do wanna go do something?" "I was thinking about it," I whispered. "Oh. Can I ask you a question," he whispered? "Sure." "Why are we whispering," he asked, still whispering? "I don't know," I laughed. "So do you want to go do something," he asked? "Yeah. Why don't you call Gordie and company, and see what they're up to," I suggested. "Okay," he agreed, getting off the couch for the first time in a few hours and stretched. He called Gordie, Gordie called Vern, and Vern called Teddy. It was decided that we would meet at Gordie's and find something to do from there.
I quickly fixed my hair, grabbed my cigarettes, and walked out the door holding Chris's hand. We ran into Teddy on our way to Gordie's.
"Hey guys," Teddy greeted us.
"Hey Teddy," Chris replied. "What's going on," he asked?
"Nothing at all man. I'm glad someone finally called me. I was about to stick my head the oven, I was so bored."
"Maybe we shouldn't have called him," I said playfully to Chris.
"Go screw," Teddy said good-naturedly. "So what have you guys been up to," he asked? "I have seen you guys since that night with the Cobras." Me and Chris just looked at each other and smiled. "Ewww....never mind, don't answer that. I have no desire to know," he said disgusted and we all just laughed. I was relieved when no more was said about the night with the Cobras. I didn't want to go dredging up bad memories and feelings for Chris. Eyeball, Ace, and the Cobras would always be a sore spot for Chris and I, like a bruise on our relationship. It was better just left alone. We walked to Gordie's house lazily, because even though it was late in the afternoon it was still humid and sticky. By the time we got to Gordie's we were all exhausted and dying for something to drink. Chris walked up to the door Teddy and I right behind him. Not bothering to knock, we walked right in. His house looked exactly as it had in the movie. It wasn't air- conditioned or anything, but it was cooler that it was outside. "Gordie," Teddy screamed! "Where are you, you fucking wet end," he yelled up the stairs. "I'll be right there," Gordie screamed back. "Come on," Chris said leading us into the kitchen. "I need something a drink before I pass out." "Me too," Teddy agreed. Chris got out a pitcher of lemonade while Teddy found three glasses. Chris poured them and handed one to me. "Thanks," I replied. It was sickly sweet and way too strong, but we were too thirsty to care. Gordie came down just as we were chugging the last of our too sweet, too sour, lemonade. "What's that look for," he asked? I guess we all had funny, sour expressions on out faces from the lemonade.
"You need to take a few lessons on making lemonade," Teddy replied.
"Sincerely man. This stuff if lethal," Chris said wiping his mouth with the back of his hand.
"Oh, yeah I know. I didn't make it," Gordie laughed. "That's the way my dad likes it....I don't know why," he added. "So where's Vern," he asked looking around?
"Who knows? Teddy called him," Chris said.
"He said he'd be here after he cleaned his room," Teddy replied.
"I guess we'll be here for awhile then," I said, sitting down in one of the chairs.
"Probably," Gordie agreed rolling his eyes. They sat down too, and we tried to come up with something to do while we waited for Vern to show up. He finally came bursting in the door 20 minutes later, looking tired and sweaty.
"Hey guys," he greeted us tiredly.
"Verno..I didn't think you were gonna show...we were about to have a moment of silence for you," Teddy greeted him.
"Man it's so hot out there," he exclaimed. "I wish it was fall already," he said grabbing a chair next to Gordie.
"Oh don't say that," I blurted suddenly. Fall meant school, and school meant end of summer, end of summer meant I had to go home. They thought it was because I didn't want to go back to school though and I wasn't about to explain the real reason now.
"Yeah sincerely man. I'd rather be a little sweaty then have to sit in school," Chris agreed.
"You got anything to drink Gordie," Vern asked?
"Lemonade," he offered a wry smile on his face.
"You mean that poison your dad makes? Hell no. I'd rather die of thirst," he declared.
"I'll get you some water Vern," I offered.
"Thanks," he replied.
I got him a glass of water and handed it to him. He chugged it the same way we chugged our lemonade.
"So what are we doing tonight," Gordie asked?
"It's too hot to do anything," Teddy whined.
"Yeah. Sincerely man. Let's just sit home," Vern agreed.
"No way man. I sat home all day," Gordie argued.
"Me too," Chris agreed.
"Why don't we go to the movies," I suggested.
"Yeah. Good idea," Gordie agreed brightly.
"Fine. At least it's cool in there," Teddy agreed reluctantly.
"Yeah whatever," Vern said.
So we headed out into the humid night, walking slowly towards the movies. We had decided on seeing on Casablanca, because I refused to go see the gruesome movie Teddy wanted to see. The other boys didn't really care. (A.N. I have no clue when Casablanca came out, and I'm probably way off, but it was the easiest thing I could think of.....plus I like that movie)
The walk to the movies was fairly uneventful, thank god. Gordie offered to pay for our tickets and after some refusal on my part, he did. Vern wanted some popcorn, as did Gordie, and Teddy wanted a soda, popcorn, and candy. I got a soda to share with Chris.
We easily found seats because for a Friday night in the summer, it was incredibly empty. There were a few younger kids in front of us, and an older couple in back of us. Besides them we were in the only ones in the theater.
I sat in between Gordie and Chris, Vern and Teddy were on the end. As the lights dimmed, Chris put his arm around me and the boys stopped talking. That lasted for about 6 seconds.
The goofed around the entire time, especially Teddy, throwing popcorn, making snide comments, but it didn't really bother me. I suppose it bothered everyone else though because they kept telling us to shush. Teddy in return would tell them to shush, using his middle finger instead of his pointer. I know it was immature, but you're only young once right? About half way through the movie I snuggled up to Chris, resting my head on his chest. He entwined his fingers with mine, rubbing my thumb with his. He looked at me, giving me that trademark smile that was purely Chris. I smiled back at him, squeezed his hand and closed my eyes. I zoned out the noise of the movie and Teddy's constant nails-on-a- chalkboard-laugh and quietly wished that the moment would never end.
