Amie: Chapter 20:
(HAPPY 20th ANNIVERSARY TWO OF A KIND!)
We find our rowdy couple in Harlow's Wedding Chapel. Ace's car is parked on a slant out front, doors open and everything. Bo was rushed to the altar with Lou.
"Hurry up Lou!" Ace urged.
"Ace... This is supposed to be the best day of my life and you're rushing me!" Lou spat back.
"Are you fixing your hair? Why are you fixing your hair?" Ace questioned impatiently.
"I want to look nice on my wedding day!" Lou pouted.
"Babe, I don't care what you look like, just get to the fuckin priest!" Ace said, pulling out a cigarette to ease some of his jitters.
"Gee thanks. This is the guy I'm marrying... Romantic huh?" Lou said to Bo sarcastically. Ace gave Lou a wink as she snarled at him.
"Come on Lou, you're ruining the moment." Ace whined.
"Moment, what moment? Ace, we're at the Wedding Chapel in Harlow, at midnight, that's not a moment, that's two drunk hoods and a teen movie." Lou said, rolling her eyes.
"Spur of the moment Lou... don't be so pessimistic." Bo insisted. Lou rolled her eyes at her friend. She didn't seem to be going along with the whole "lets get married right now" bit.
"Yeah, don't you know romance babe?" Ace said with a smile.
"Romance? I think I'd die of a poison intake if you ever tried to romance me sweetie." Lou grinned.
"You don't want to marry me?" Ace said, half pretending to be offended, and half really offended.
"Are you my only choice?" Lou growled.
"Thanks babe." Ace gave her a nod and sour look on his face.
"Come on Ace, you really want to marry ME? HERE?" Lou said with an icky look on her face. (Icky... I have a great use of vocab. Huh?)
"Fine, forget it then Lou. You were obviously better off on your own..." Ace said lighting a cigarette.
"Hey you! No smoking in the chapel!" A man in a suit ordered Ace. Ace looked back at the man, then at Lou who had tears in her eyes. He sighed and stepped out into the midnight rain with his cigarette.
"Ace..." Lou said, as Bo stood silently behind her.
"Just get in the car..." Ace said, hopping into the driver's seat. For once, Lou had nothing to say. No snappy comment, no insult. Her eyes watered and she sat in the back of Ace's car with silent defeat.
"Come on Bo..." Ace ordered as Bo got into the passenger's seat without a hum of response.
Silently, Ace drove back to Castle Rock on the midnight road. Beads of rain kissed his car windows as he pulled up to Lou's house and dropped her and Bo off.
Before Lou could say a word, Ace sped off angrily into the night.
"I think you broke his heart..." Bo said in a small voice, just above a whisper.
Lou's eyes swelled with tears. In her heart of hearts she loved Ace. But her mind was set. A hood like that would never change. She couldn't marry him, Ace wasn't a safe future. What's love anyway? Stupid teenagers can't love... can they?
WHEN THE CLOCK STRUCK TWO-THIRTY
Wide awake, Lou watch her side table clock click two-thirty one, when there was a tap at her window. She bustled under the covers, thinking her mind was playing tricks on her. But the smoky screen outside her window snapped her back into reality.
She got up and peered at the shadowy figure of the blonde boy she was crazy about. She swung open the window cautiously as Ace climbed into her room.
His hair was dripping wet from the light drizzle, and he smelled of rain, cologne, and cigarettes. He was practically shivering. Lou peered at him through glassy eyes. She had never loved him more than she did at this moment.
Ace glanced at the floor, then back at Lou. His eyes screamed of a broken heart, but his lips remained quiet. He took the sides of Lou's face in his hands and planted a sensual kiss upon her soft lips.
They didn't speak a word to each other that night, but they didn't have to. Ace's kiss magnified with passion. Lou peeled off his jacket as they continued to kiss. Ace replied with slipping her night tank top over her head, placing the kiss on pause, but just for a second.
Ace's shirt found it's way to the floor as well and his bare chest met with Lou's finger nails (you slut). They moved to Lou's bed, and kissed wildly as Ace lay atop her. Suddenly, the kissed was stopped with Ace pulling away. He stared into Lou's eyes.
"I love you Lou." Ace said, possibly meaning it for the very first time. Lou found herself unable to speak. "I was really going to marry you today... but hearing that you didn't want me for the rest of your life really hurt me Lou. I know I'm not what you wanted, but I'm what you've got. Am I ever going to be good enough for you, or should I just give up?"
"Ace..." Lou whispered. She had never seen Ace so vulnerable. 'He must've put a lot of thought into this.' Lou thought. 'I mean, it's not everyday Ace fuckin' Merrill gets his heart broken.'
"I'm crazy about you..." Lou said, looking into Ace's glassy eyes. "You know there's no one else for me."
'Then why don't you want me?' Ace wanted to ask, but refrained from doing so, in order to keep his dignity. Instead, he kissed her with everything he had. And as everyone knows, a kiss, is never 'just' a kiss with Ace Merrill. (That's for you Lou) ::wink::
"How could you do this to me Ker?" Teddy glared at her, taking a drag of his cigarette. Kerry's eyes swelled with tears as she felt her throat close up.
"Teddy-"
"I loved you!" Teddy screamed. He'd never been so upset or so heartbroken. His world was crumbling around him before his very eyes, and he couldn't handle it.
"Kerry, I loved you with every inch of me. You knew that! You knew I'd do anything for you! How the fuck could you do this to me?" Teddy said, his eyes kissed with hot tears.
"Teddy, I'm so sorry." Kerry wept. She collapsed with tears. "Teddy, I love you so much. This thing with Chris, it just happened. I didn't mean for any of it. If I could take it back I would. He means nothing to me!" Kerry sobbed. She held Teddy's face in her hands. "Teddy please, I love you. You were everything to me."
"I was."
"And still are Teddy. You still are. Please don't leave me. I'm nothing without you..." Kerry pleaded. Her face was drenched with her tears, but Teddy was too stubborn to do the same.
"Don't lie to me anymore."
"I would never. And I swear I won't ever." Kerry said, crossing her heart.
"Do you want Chris?" Teddy asked, trying to swallow the lump in his throat.
"No." Kerry said, without hesitation.
"No?" Teddy questioned again. Kerry wiped her eyes.
"Did I stutter?" She said, as Teddy smiled.
"Don't you lie to me Kerry. If you want Chris, this is your chance. Go now, or forever hold your peace." Teddy said, his eyes cold, as well as his skin. He was cold, almost like a corpse, and his voice dulled to a serious hum.
"I hold. My peace is held Teddy my love." Kerry said. Teddy smiled, lifted her chin with his hand and kissed her ever so softly. Not once did Chris cross her mind again that night.
AMIE AND EYEBALL
"Eyeball, stop... stop... stop!" Amie said, prying Eyeball from her neck.
"What?" Eyeball said with a raised brow as Amie giggled.
"Just slow down okay. I just met you."
"But you're only here for a week..." Eyeball said, a devilish grin crept across his face. "So we have to make this time useful."
"You're kidding right?" Amie said with a sour look on her sweet face.
"Of course I am." Eyeball said disappointedly. But he made sure to watch himself with this one. After all, she was Charlie's cousin. Not to mention the sweetest thing he's ever seen.
"Good." Amie said with a flirtatious giggle that seemed to have Eyeball hypnotized. "Good night Eyeball." She said, giving Eyeball a quick kiss on the cheek and giggling her way inside.
Eyeball roared with tension as he walked off of the porch. "Stupid Charlie! She's the ultimate cutie pie, and I've got to wait! Damn rules of respecting Cobras' family! Who came up with those? Fucking Ace! I'm gunna kill him when I see him!" Eyeball said to himself in frustration and kicked his foot through a puddle. "The stupid ways of gentlemen!" Eyeball went on to thinking about nothing but Amie's infectious smile and mesmerizing laugh. He seemed to be hypnotized by her every movement, and he found himself slowly losing control of his thoughts.
