Chapter 7: The Dance
After we ate Johnny and I walked to the lot. As he started the fire I sat there and looked at him. I had to tell him how I felt. He came over and leaned against the seat next to me. I put my head on his shoulder.
"Hey Johnny?" I said softly.
"Yeah Jenny?" He looked over at me. I leaned over to him and looked in his eyes for a few seconds then I kissed him quickly and smiled.
"I really like you Johnny." I said almost in a whisper. He looked at his feet then looked at me again. There was a long pause.
"Me?" Johnny asked surprised.
"Yeah you. You're different then every other guy I've ever met." I said smiling. He looked back down at his shoes and then looked at me again. He smiled at me too.
"I like you too, Jenny. I just never thought you would like me back." He said still smiling. I kissed him again and put my head back on his shoulder and we soon feel asleep.
I woke up to the early sunrise. It was a beautiful morning. Johnny was still asleep next to me. I smiled and pushed his hair back.
"Wake up, Johnny. Let's go over to the Curtis'. Okay?" I said shaking his arm slightly.
He looked up at me and smiled. Then closed his eyes again.
"Okay" Johnny said still smiling.
As we walked to the Curtis' house Johnny grabbed my hand. I didn't look at him. I just smiled while looking at the ground. Was he my boyfriend? I thought as I looked up at him and smiled. He looked at me and, I dunno, it's like he read my mind.
"Am I your boyfriend?" Johnny asked smiling. Like he knew I was thinking it.
I smiled and my mouth dropped. "That was weird." I said laughing. We had reached the Curtis' house.
"I'll only be your girlfriend on one condition, Johnnycake." I said stopping in the middle of the street. I heard music coming out of one of the houses near us. It was playing "I'll Be Seeing You." By Billie Holiday.
"What Condition?" Johnny asked laughing also.
"If you dance with me." I said holding out my hand.
Johnny smiled and grabbed my waist and my hand. We were dancing in the street. It was like a dream. I was going crazy for Johnny.
"Sorry, I'm not that good at dancing." Johnny said looking down at his feet.
"You're a wonderful dancer." I said smiling.
The song ended and Johnny leaned over and kissed me. We hadn't noticed the gang with their heads out the window. They all ran out of the house. Two-Bit turned around and faced Steve.
"Oh dance with me Stevie-pie!" Two-Bit yelled as he ran over to Steve. The grabbed each other and started prancing around the street. Johnny and I laughed but got red in the face.
"I didn't know you two had the hots for each other." Soda said as he ran up to us smiling.
"Yeah." I said looking up at Johnny.
Note: I don't own the song "I'll Be Seeing You." Please R&R!
