I own nothing but Colette and Ish.
Cole was half asleep when she knocked on the front door at the Curtis's house. Sodapop answer with , "Hey, Cole! Take a seat anywhere." Cole looked around the room, Two-Bit was sitting in front of the TV watching Mickey Mouse, Johnny and Ponyboy were sitting on a couch talking softly, Steve and Sodapop started wrestling. Dally was in a recliner chair with his usual frown on his face. Darry was in the kitchen cooking. She walked in the kitchen and told Darry, "I would offer to help but last time I tried to cook I almost burned down the apartment building. I still have the scar from a burn I got."
"Thanks anyway." Darry said with deep laugh.
Cole sat on the counter about two feet away from him, "So… How's life?" Cole asked that when she had nothing to say.
"Been better." Darry said checking on the chicken in oven leaning over. Cole looked at his butt. Ooo he has a tight rear end, Cole thought to herself. He stood up and she averted her gaze to the mashed potatoes.
"How old are you?" Cole asked thinking about his rear end.
"Twenty-two and what about you?" Darry asked looking at her.
"Twenty-one last week. Finally legal to do all the stuff I been doing since I was fifteen." Cole said with a proud smile.
"Fifteen, more like thirteen." Dally said entering the room.
"Shut- up Winston, I could kick your ass at age fifteen and I can still kick your ass at twenty-one too." Cole yelled at him.
"The only reasoned you kicked my ass was because I let you!" Dallas said with a glare.
"Whatever, Winston." Was Cole only reply.
"Twenty-one then how didja know Dally." Darry asked setting the table but Cole took the stuff and set the table for him making Dally help.
"Me and Dallas had this rivalry so I challenged him to go to a store and steal food. Since he just got on the streets a few months before and I had been on the streets for about 3 years. I was 15 he was 10. I gave him a store that was impossible to steal from. He didn't know that was the store to not steal stuff. He was caught." Cole told Darry she was about to resume when a big yawn escape her mouth. "I was the main reason he started his track record. When he got older he notice that I was a women and not some snot bugger girl, so he started hitting on me even though I'm 5 years older then him."
"You lived on the streets?" Darry asked putting the chicken on the table.
"Yeppers, for about 5 years before Aunty Ish found me and got me into a shelter." Cole said stealing some chicken.
"DINNER!" Darry yelled. You could hear 5 sets of male feet running into the room and taking seats. Cole took one next in between Dally and Darry. Everyone started to eat. "You should try pink food dye with the mashed potatoes."
"YES!" Yelled Sodapop, "I love you." He jumped up and gave her a hug.
"Uhhhhh?"
"Soda has a thing with food dye." Ponyboy said.
"It usually grosses us out." Two-Bit said with a mouth full of food.
"Why?" Cole asked, "I would do it all the time but I would burn things down."
Dallas snorted into his food. "Yea like the time you tried to cook soup."
"Shut-the-Fuck-up Dallas Edward Winston." Cole yelled at him.
"Edward?" Steve asked trying to sniff a snort but failing.
"You shut the Fuck up Colette Barbie Souhrada!" Dallas yelled back.
"Ha! I changed my middle name to Kelsey! Ha!" Cole yelled back with triumphant smile. Dallas grumbled under his breath and went back to his food. After Dinner while Ponyboy cleaned up with the help of Johnny. Cole sat in the recliner chair and dozed off.
"Should we wake her?" asked Soda poking at her.
"Darry she in you chair." Two-Bit said.
"No really?" Darry said dripping with sarcasm.
"If you gonna wake her up be careful." Dallas told them. Cole woke up a minute ago but she felt like scaring them. So when they turned their back to look at Dally. Cole jumped up screamed, "BOO!" Most of the gang ended up on the ground screaming.
"Haha, you should of seen your faces. Well thanks for dinner. See ya around." Cole said walking out of the house.
"Want me to go with you?" Dallas asked.
"Still to old for you." Cole said. After she left Soda yelled out, "Not for Darry though."
"Sodapop!" Darry said.
"Hey! I saw her checking out your ass!" Soda yelled.
"What!" Darry asked putting his hand on his ass.
"Yea. She seemed to like it to." Soda said laughing and the rest of the gang with him but Darry.
"She always had a thing for butts." Dally told him with a cold smile on his lips.
The next morning. Saturday at 9:50
"FUCK!" was heard all the way at the Curtis. Darry who had his first Saturday off for 4 months was woken up by that. The gang went onto the porch to see what was going on. Darry on in jeans that wasn't even button. They found Cole running out the door trying to shove tennis shoes in her feet, putting her hair in a ponytail, and toothbrush hanging out of her mouth. The toothbrush just fell out of her mouth as she tried to grab it. It landed in the dirt. "Double Fuck!" She yelled not bothering to pick it up. She heard laughter she saw the gang looking at her. She saw Darry and her breath caught. She waved at them and drove off even faster then Steve or Two-Bit.
At the Dingo
Cole barely arrived on time at the Dingo. She walked in the back door and some guy walked up to her and asked, "Colette?"
"Yea but call me Cole." Cole said sticking her hand out. "My aunt told me you would tell me what to do?"
"Yes here what you have to do…." The guy babbled while Cole took a look around. "We open up in a 10 minutes and the only waitress working this morning is sick with the flu."
"I can waitress. Did it all the time in New York." Cole said putting on a apron.
"Here a uniform." The guy said holding out a pink ...thingy.
"I don't do uniforms. By the way what's your name and what do you do?" Cole asked him.
"Jim and I'm the main cook and the manger." Jim told her.
"I go open up." Cole said going to the front of the Dingo to open up. Within a half hour it was packed with greasers and hoods. Cole was use to waitressing. She already threaten one guy for slapping her ass, no else tried to.
"Can I take your order?" She asked a group of greasers.
"Are you on the menu?" asked the toughest looking guy their.
"No."
"Well I still want you." he said pulling her down onto his lap.
"Shepherd, you don't touch Colette." Dally said coming up behind them. "besides she to old for you."
"I always liked older women." Shepherd said.
"Go to hell, Shepherd. I like real men." Cole said getting up form his lap. "Do you want something or should I kick you out?"
"Um 4 burger specials." Another hood said to her.
"Hey Dallas. Wathcha want?" Cole asked him giving Jim the order with Dallas following her.
"You have a free table?" Dallas asked.
"Over their." Cole told him pointing over her shoulder." I be their in a second." Dallas sat over their joined by the rest of the gang. She delivered plates of food to a family. She laughed at something the little girl said.
Darry caught himself staring at her.
"Darry in love!" Steve and Soda sang in high pitched voices.
"Cole and Darry sitting in a tree…" They started singing but shut up when Cole came by.
"Hey guys what can I get ya'll?" Cole asked with a tired smile. Everyone gave her their order and she left.
