Chapter 4: Dinner By Soda

"hey mom, auntie! Im home!" I yelled as I walked into twobits house. I was greeted again with another huge hug, this one coming from my aunt.

"hey Lyss. Oh how much ive missed you…is that makeup I see?" she chirped.

"ya know auntie, that the same exact thing twobit said to me when I walked in the house before. Oh and me and twobit want to stay at ponyboys for dinner tonight, you wouldn't mind would you?" I asked.

" no of course not dear, as long as your mom doesn't care. Besides me and your mom gotta talk about previous events and how we are gonna tell your cousin about what happened. Kerr?" she said.

"no problem sweetie. Where is Keithy anyways? Is he still at the curtis house?" mom said.

"no he went off somewhere to get drunk. Auntie debb, is there any curfew that I need to follow at this house, cuz I had one at my old house but that's also cuz I didn't have a big, protective cousin to stay with me." I said coyly.

"no there is not and that is final ok Kerr. She will be with Twobit, but I must insist that you call every few hours. Okay?"

"No prob. See ya."

I gave them both a kiss and I walked out the door. I walked slowly back to sodas. I kept on picturing his face and I was thinking of his voice and I couldn't wait to see him again. I was also kinda nervous. I had lots of boyfriends before, but none had ever made me nervous. Before I knew it, I was at the house. Her goes! I thought.

"IM BACK!!!" I yelled as I walked in. I surveyed the room. Ponyboy was reading a book, steve was on the floor playing solitare, dally was watching tv and twobit was laying on couch, drunk and laughing. Soda was in the kitchen, darry was gonna be home in a few minutes and Johnny was still at home.

"SODA!!! MIDGE IS HERE!!! GO GET CHANGED!!! YOU WERE ALL MESSY 5 MINUTES AGO!!" pony screeched.

"Pony. Can u come outside with me for a sec kiddo?" I said. Pony nodded his head but he looked funnily timid.

When we got outside, I smacked his arm.

"Ponyboy! What did I tell you before? Please don't tell anyone until me and soda talk about…us." I said

"but lys, its obvious he really likes you. He was so happy when you left. You should see what he made for dinner. Boy its hilarious. Hes gonna be walkin around in a daze for a while. Trust me. You two, your definitely an, umm, item? I mean face it hes handsome, your gorgeous, and you like eachother. Theres no debating it." He walked inside leaving me in a daze. I followed him back inside after a few minutes and I watched some tv with dally.

"so dal, hows it been? Been in the cooler lately?" I asked.

"naw" he said lighting up a weed. "I haven't been in for a few months…im trying to stay out for a little while, for Johnny. Ya dig baby?" he said.

"yeh dal. You know your really sweet." I teased. Dally took that as an insult and compliment and he gave me a noogie.

"DALLAS WINSTON!!! MY HAIR!!!" I yelped wiggling out of his hold. I ran into the bathroom to fix it while the rest of the guys started laughing.

While I was in the bathroom, darry came home from work and we started to go in for dinner.

We sat around the table and I sat between soda and twobit. I looked at soda and smiled. He smiled back. God he was dreamy. i looked down at my plate and said: wow! Theyre pink!"

Soda had made pick, heart shaped pancakes with bacon. Wow, pony was right. I guess soda really did like me!

"well everyone dig in! then we could have chocolate cake!" pony boy hurriedly started eating his dinner.

"hey soda. Do ya wanna go for a walk after dinner?" I whispered.

"yeah. While everyones eatin cake okay baby?" he replied

I nodded and started eating my dinner. It was a very interesting dinner. By the end dally and steve were fighting, ponyboy was getting impatient, twobit kept slurring incomprehensible words together and spitting his food all over the place. Darry had gone to bed and me and soda couldn't keep our hands to ourselves. We were holding hands under the table, while everyone was so oblivious.

Then ponyboy got the cake out. Me and soda slipped out quietly and walked to the park just talking. We sat on the swings in the park.

Sodapop: "lyssa, are we, just a fling, or are we like boyfriend and girlfriend?"

Me: baby, I definitely don't wanna be just a fling."

Then I kissed him. We kept kssing and it was amazing. I broke away and soda said, this has been the most perfect day." I agreed and said "yah and that's because I found you soda!"

We kissed some more and then we started to head back. Soda stopped me.

"do you think we should tell the others?" he asked.

"why don't we tell them tomorrow when twobits half sober."

He agreed and we went inside.

We had been out for about 2 hours and dally went to stay at Tims. Steve went home and twobit too. Ponyboy was the only one awake.

"hey soda…midge…twobit said you can stay here if you want for the night and I just stayed up to see when you came home but don't worry im goin to hit the hay. Soda don't stay up to late." He winked.

"actually smart boy, im going up to bed now too. Are you gonna be ok out here baby?" soda grinned his crazy grin.

"yeah ill be fine. Good night." U gave him a kiss on the cheek and whispered I love you and he whispered it back.

Pony and soda went back upstairs. I got some blankets and settled down on the couch. I couldn't sleep so I picked up the novel pony was reading before and started reading.

"holy hell. This one is way smart!" I exclaimed. I had never read anything so advanced!

I heard footsteps on the stairs, so I slammed the book shut rolled over and pretended to be asleep. The person went into the kitchen and I slowly and sneakily looked over the couch arm to see who it was. It was sodapop! I got up quietly and I went into the kitchen and said hey. He turned around.

"I was hoping youd be up. I cant sleep." He said.

"good neither can i…but I think I know what can cure our insomnia…"I said.

Ok I just wanted to kiss him again but hey, how else could I get what I wanted? I stood up on my toes and kissed him.

Sodas POV

me an lyssa were kissing again. Somehow everytime we talk, we end up makin out. Not that I mind. I really like her. Even more than I did sandy. Lyssas so perfect, I thought. I decided to get up and go to bed, before ponyboy got suspicious. Actually, He probably knew what was going on down here but I don't really care. I deepened our kiss and then broke away. I grinned, so that I could get away. I didn't wanna, but now im getting sleepy. Maybe midge was right. Kssing is the cure for not being able to sleep.

"goodnight baby."

I went upstairs and pony was waiting for me.

"I rolled over and I didn't have a barrier to stop me from falling off the bed so I fell off. Then I went down stairs to find you and I heard u swappin spit with lys. Cant you just tell everyone in the morning so you don't have to sneak around at night and make me fall off the bed?" pony was laughing and I laughed too.

"yeah sure pony. We are gunna at breakfast. Okay with you little man?" I layed down in the bed and before I could hear ponys answer I was asleep.

Ok its really long but wat do you guys think?? Review please and if you have any ideas for me, do tell. xoxo
