Chapter Eleven
"Listeners, as you all know today is a very special day. I Shady Lane would like to once again welcome back our very own DJ Smog. After two years of absence he is back to fill us with...uh, Buddhist saying and I couldn't be happier." I chuckled as Travis threw my pink ball at Ray who was laughing hysterically. The show was almost over and they were getting back into our old routine.
"Actually I have cut down on the Buddha sayings. I have something else to focus on." I blushed as Travis flashed a warm smile at me. "I just have one word of advice that Pronto should take to heart. 'It's best to go through life keeping your mouth shut and let everyone assume you're an idiot than to open your mouth and prove it.'" Robbie burst out laughing which caused me to laugh. I also smiled. This was the first time in weeks that Robbie looked truly happy. Robbie had a long conversation with Kim earlier that day and by the end of it they were kissing in the hallway.
"Hey, shut up! I'm no idiot. Isn't that right. Yah, I'm no idiot." I cracked up as Ray started talking to his little orange pony. Travis threw on a song to indicate the end of the show and grabbed the pony from Ray. "Give that back Travis." Travis ran around the warehouse with Ray right on his tail. As Ray grasped Travis's arm Trav threw the pony to me. I caught it with one hand and ran out of the warehouse. I looked back and saw Ray run out of the warehouse and trip over his own feet. I laughed even more as he tumbled to the floor.
My eyes followed Travis as he hopped over Ray and ran towards me. He grabbed my hands and pulled around the corner so we were behind the huge building behind the station. He continued to look in my eyes as he took the toy from my hands and threw it back into the open.
"Why'd you do that?" Travis didn't answer my question. He simply cupped my face in his hands and gently pressed his soft warm lips to mine. I could smell his cologne. It made shivers run up my spine. I had missed that scent. It was so...Travis. Then again, I should like the scent; after all, I bought it. After a few moment of pure enjoyment we broke apart. Not because we wanted to but because Robbie and Ray were gawking at us. I swatted them away but they refused to leave. Travis and I finally gave up on trying to be alone and we all decided to walk to Mickey's.
"So, did you hear about the Fifties dance this Friday?" I stared at Ray in shock. I had completely forgotten. There was no way I could find a dress in time. Unless my mom had something. I looked at Travis to see if he had forgotten but he looked as calm as ever.
"Yah I heard about it." I socked Travis playfully in the arm.
"And you didn't remind me! Travis!" He sheepishly smiled and shrugged.
"I thought you remembered. I was going to talk to you about it during our date but we had a little interruption." Travis shot a look at Ray and Robbie who pretended to be looking somewhere else. I let out a chuckle and smacked Ray in the arm.
"Ow, what was that for?"
"For ruining my date." Ray had a speechless look on his face as he stuttered for words. I laughed and continued walking. I secretly thought of what I would wear. I would probably wear a blue-green poodle skirt that I thought I saw in the attic. This would be great.
