Chapter 7: Airports

"I really wish you would let me come with you..." Pony went on. He's been bugging me about this all day, and I will admit it's kind of cute. Still it's completely obvious the poor kid has a crush on me. I'm very flattered, but things are starting to look on the bright side with my Dally situation. Except for the whole...Summer thing. Gr.

They were in the kitchen, kissing, saying goodbye. Adios. Arrivaderci. Au revoir.

"..I'm going to miss you.." she'd go. Kiss. "I'll miss you too..." kiss. Total barfing material!

I just looked back at Pony, smiling a bit. I kissed him on the cheek, thanking him, and then told him to tell Mr. Winston I'll be waiting by the car. Then I left, and got into Dally's car.

Ten minutes later Rico Suave decided to come out. He chucked his duffel bag into the back seat, next to my suitcase. We waved as he drove off. We turned the corner, and I put some music on. My dad's song came on, and it was the last thing I needed to hear, and I changed it before the first words were even said. I already know the song by heart.

"This is going to be fun huh? Just you and me...we've never really gone someplace alone.." he kept talking.

I just nodded, and whenever I looked at him I just couldn't help but think of that kiss he gave me. It made me want to pull the key out of the ignition and jump on top of him. Well that and just his sexiness...

Check in went smoothly, and we were sitting down in the little waiting area. I rested my head on my hands. "I'm goin' to get some coffee. Ya want some?" I nodded, and was about to tell him how I liked it, but he interrupted me. "I know, four spoons of sugar, nice amount of milk. I know," he smiled at me, and I couldn't help smile back. He left and I stared out the large windows, watching the planes take off like I did when I was a little girl.

DALLY'S POV

Don't ask me why I remembered how she liked her coffee. I can't remember how I like my coffee, I just keep trying to experiment, and hope I get it right. For some reason everything she tells me I remember. I actually listen to her when she talks, and she listens to me. She always has.

Summer doesn't. She just keeps yacking away about the newest celebrity she interviewed. Like I actually care. God knows Sylvia didn't give one crap about what I had to say. It was all sex, sex, beer, and some more sex. Nobody really ever has listened to what I had to say. But Steph.

I finished pouring the perfect amount of milk into her coffee, and then headed back to where she was. When I got there, a little old lady was sitting in my seat. Steph shrugged and mouthed "I don't know". I cleared my throat and the lady looked up (I know I'm supposed to be tough but I'm not gonna scream at some old hag, she's probably holding to life by a string anyway).

"Yes?" she looked at me through huge glasses.

"Uhm..." I started, but then she looked at Steph's smiling face, then back to me.

"Oh! You want to sit with your wife! I'm sorry sonny, here sit," she hurried to get up, and I just smiled. She thought Steph and I were married.

I sat down and handed her her coffee. The old lady smiled at us, "You make a beautiful couple. I bet you'll have gorgeous babies! Better get to work, if ya know what I mean." She winked at me.

I laughed, "I'll take your advice."

Steph's eyes were ready to pop out of her head, and her mouth was open, but in a sort of smiling way. It was adorable.

The old lady waddled off and I looked at Steph. "I'm ready to make little Dallas Jr. when you are."

"No child of mine is being named after you," she smirked a bit, in a playful manner.

I gasped, pretending to look hurt, "My name isn't good enough for our child?"

"I just can't picture anyone else in the world being named Dallas besides you."

"Oh well in that case, it's okay," I smiled at her, our lips inches apart. I was just about to make my move when that damn lady came on the microphone. "Flight 25 will be boarding now...".

"That's us," Stephanie smiled into my lips, knowing exactly what was going to happen.

"I know," I smiled back and kissed her quickly, then stood up throwing our empty coffees out, and grabbing her carry on. I saw her blushing and smiling just before we boarded.


Sorry it's short, but I have to go to sleep. My dance recital is in TWO DAYS! Excited!

Review Thank Yous:

Eternal Dragon101: See Steph can be happy: )
Dreamer for lyf: Pony's got a wittle crush, so he's gonna get a wittle jealous lol. I hope you liked this chapter!
Dark-Celeste: You know you are so right. S.E. Hinton never put Dallas in a situation where he was in love, therefore we really don't know how he would act. Everyone just assumes he wouldn't be a sweet, vulnerable, soft, caring, and loving type of guy. You totally rock for seeing that! I totally love you!
ZiggyGurl: Hope you liked this chapter.
Miru Amai: Dally's sort of in between Steph and Summer, but Steph is understanding (and just plain love sick) and doesn't care she's sort of his side-girl at the moment. Hope you liked it!
horrorpop: Hope you liked this chapter, and Dally's sweetness.
cute-amiga: I shall give you a full report of my recital on Monday lol. Hope you liked this chapter.
JupermanPinkyInc: Yeah that's definitely in my fantasies..to bad it isn't going to happen lol. But that's why they invented fantasies! Hope you liked this chapter.
babygurl33: I couldn't cut myself over a guy, cry yes, punch something most likely lol. I hope you liked this sweet chapter.

Maybe I'm Amazed lyrics (don't you just love the little crap I add in lol)

Maybe I'm amazed at the way you love me all the time
Maybe I'm afraid of the way I love you
Maybe I'm amazed at the the way you pulled me out of time
And hung me on a line
Maybe I'm amazed at the way I really need you

Maybe I'm a girl
And maybe I'm a lonely girl
Who's in the middle of something
That she doesn't really understand

Maybe I'm a girl
And maybe you're the only man
Who could ever help me
Baby won't you help me understand

Maybe I'm a girl
And maybe I'm a lonely girl
Who's in the middle of something
That she doesn't really understand

Maybe I'm a girl
And maybe you're the only man
Who could ever help me
Baby won't you help me understand

(Oooh...)

Maybe I'm amazed at the way you're with me all the time
Maybe I'm afraid of the way I leave you
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you help me sing my song
Right me when I'm wrong
Maybe I'm amazed at the way I really need you
