Chapter 3 – Don't push me around
Dally's POV
'Buck Merril's place' I thought to myself as I walked slowly up the front walk. The windows in the front of the house were brightly lit and you could see people moving around inside. The windows were open allowing both the stale cigarette smoke of so many people and the loud thumping music to escape. "What was I thinking?" I mumbled aloud. I never should have told Alex to meet me here. She hates places like this. I a heavy sigh escaped me and I pushed open the door.
The music was much louder inside and it was even smokier than I had imagined. I strode quickly to the main room and began to search for Alex.
I was just beginning to give up when I spotted her. She was like an angel... a vision. She leaned casually against a wall, smoking a cigarette. Her hair, which fell just below her shoulders, was a beautiful sparkling blonde. Her eyes, a deep shade of blue, glinted mischievously. Growing up around so many guys, Alex was never one for dresses. She wore a faded pair of jeans and a black T-shirt that she probably stole from Ponyboy's closet. I paused for a moment just to watch her. She really was amazingly beautiful.
Just then some guy stopped in front of Alex. They were too far away for me to hear what he said but Alex was clearly not impressed. She gave him a disgusted look and turned away, ignoring him. He tried again, this time reaching out to put his hand on her shoulder. She said something to him, gave a fake smile and put her hand on his shoulder as well. She then proceeded to knee him in the balls.
I shook my head and laughed. She was a fireball, no denying it, and that's why I loved her. I finally made my way over to join her.
"That guy giving you trouble? Or we're you giving it to him?"
She grinned.
"It's not like I'm going to let him push me around," She said happily. "Nobody pushes me around."
"No kidding, I think it's because they're scared of you."
"Yeah, probably. It's about time you showed up." Her face softened. "I missed you"
"I missed you too."
She slipped her arms up around my neck. "So... you want to go find an empty room?" she said with a coy smile.
"Well we could... Or we could go back to my place."
"Really?"
"Yeah, my dad decided to stay at his girlfriend's for a week. It probably won't last that long but we'll probably have at least tonight to ourselves."
She looked extremely pleased.
"Well what are we waiting for? I hate it here, and Buck really creeps me out."
I laughed. She was so blunt sometimes, but that was okay. I prefer that to beating around the bush.
"Alright, lets go."
You know the drill. Please R/R!
