A Diary

Chapter 11: Thinking of you

I got into the dress I had bought from town a few weeks ago. It was black and very sliming at least I thought it was. I had put my hair down and curled it hopping I could look my best tonight. I looked at myself in the mirror and a girl that I didn't recognize was standing there looking back at me. I smiled I looked pretty.

"All done." I yelled to Marlin as I walked into the kitchen were he was sitting.

"Wow." He said as he stared at me. "You look great." I smiled.

"You to! Lets go meet the others now." Marlin then garbed my hand. OH MY GOD! I thought to myself. Was I dreaming? I thought as I started walking with him. It was cold and we looked funny all dressed up at 9 at night but we knew we would fit in when we got there. The party didn't start tell 10:30 and we were all going to walk over there even though it was cold. I got closer to Marlin hoping he wouldn't mind, I was freezing!

We got to the bar and the warm air hit my face and I slowly let go of Marlins hand hopping he would want to hold it again on the way up there.

"Hey guys!" I said as I sat down. Nami had amazingly decided to come and Muffy didn't seam to feel left out because she was all dressed up and ready to meet someone!

"This party is going to be pretty big. There are people from Mineral Town and a few surrounding places like us." I said starting to get exited! I had gone to many parties in my life but they were usually maybe 20 or 30 people not hundreds! We drank a few beverages and by 10 decided it would be fine to get going. Gustafa kept trying to get close to Nami and he actually succeeded after a few tries. I knew she was probably cold to. I was really close to Marlin right now and I hadn't even noticed it. I had just tried to stay warm I guess and he didn't seam to push away when I put my head on his shoulder. I was feeling like I needed some attention tonight and so I was trying to get as close to Marlin as possible. We all chatted about various things but Muffy was the loudest and most chatty she seamed overly exited to get there.

Soon we reached the inn at Mineral Town and it was packed! I gave the guy at the door my invitation and we all pilled inside. We found a table to site at and the night was going great as we laughed and had fun and I even danced with Gustafa and a few other random guys that asked. I was having the time of my life. Tell I saw Rock coming over here!

"Oh my GOD! What is he doing here!" I asked as I tried to sink down in my chair. I saw his eyes look right at me and I felt like crawling under the table but I didn't.

"Naomi? Naomi! I'm glad its you! I really need to talk to you! Please?" Rock said in a begging sort of way. Marlin looked suddenly on guard.

"No." I said bluntly trying to get him to go away.

"Come on! At least come dance with me!" he said as if nothing had happened earlier.

"Hell No!" I said this time dead serious that I just wanted him to go away.

"Naomi come on…"

"Go away Rock!" Marlin said glaring at him. "Don't you think you have done enough damage for one day?" Rock glared at him.

"What are you her brother! Let her decide!"

"I did and I said no!" I yelled hoping this time I would get it through his thick skull that I hated him now and that he needed to go away! Then a boy taped me on the shoulder.

"Do you want to dance?" He said smiling.

"Sure!" I said smiling back at him. This was the perfect way to get Rock to go away!

"Naomi! You can't ignore me forever! Naomi!" He yelled but I just danced with the boy and by the time the song was over Rock was gone but Marlin looked a little flustered as I headed back to the table.

"What did he say to you!" I asked hoping he hadn't bin too harsh.

"Nothing he just stormed off I was just thinking…" Marlin replied

"About what?" I said looking a little concerned. He didn't look at me.

"Naomi do you want to dance?" He asked a little timid.

"Sure!" I said finally happy that he had said something! I thought I was going to have to ask him by the time the night was over. I still knew something was wrong though. Rock had said something but he wasn't telling me. I would ask him when we got back to the house. He garbed my hand and we walked into the crowed. I smiled at him and he smiled back. I loved it when things seamed to go right for once. He was a good dancer actually! I would have never known that if I hadn't gotten to know him. The thing that I was thinking about was all the crap that had happened when he was around! Rock had kissed me, Gustafa had hit on me, and I had started to cry because rock was a jerk and yet he was still here. I guess the drama didn't get to him amazingly! I wished I could have stayed in his arms forever but soon the song ended and we sat down. I looked at my watch it was 4 in the morning! Muffy came over and I guess she was thinking the same thing.

"We better head back guys it like 4 and I have to go to work at 9."

"Sounds good lets go find Gustafa and Nami." I said knowing they were around here some where! To bad I was the one that found them making out outside behind the building! I guess Nami didn't hate him that much after all!

"Come on were heading back." I yelled as I walked back inside trying not to laugh.

"What is so funny Naomi? Did you find them?" Muffy asked.

"Oh I found them! Let's just go." I said grinning. We all walked home in the cold and it was even colder now! I thought I was going to freeze to death but I didn't and when we got home I plopped down on my bed. I was so tired and happy. Marlin smiled at me.

"What?" I asked looking up at him he was smiling. I don't think I had ever seen him so happy!

"Nothing." He said he looked away. I lied down so tired and amazed marlin sat beside me.

"What do you think of me?" he asked. I felt a little odd.

What do you mean? I asked sitting up and looking him in the eye.

"Do you like me in a friend sort of way or…" I now knew what he was talking about. I didn't know he could be so blunt about these things. He had definitely grown some courage over the bast year. I was just going to tell him the truth and hope for the best. That was all I could do!

I like you in a love sort of way." I said looking into his eyes he was smiling so hard.

"Me to." He whispered as he leaned over a gently kissed my lips. I didn't push away I had bin hopping this would happen for a long time now. He kissed a little deeper this time and I felt so... I don't even know how to say it! Something had definitely gone right tonight and I was the happiest girl in the world but the moment was broken when I herd a knock on the door…
