During the walk back to the Curtis house I got a chill, so I flipped up the collar on my leather jacket trying to shield my neck from the wind. Pony and Johnny were pushing each other and messing around. I just looked at the ground and tried to light a cigarette. "Damn wind."
I finally gave up and put the cigarette back in my jacket pocket. I heard scuffling behind us and when I turned around there was Nikki, in all her hot glory. She looked much better then before, her brown hair was pulled up into a lose ponytail, she had on a pair of torn up worn in blue jeans and a grey t-shirt.
That's how I like my girls. "Hey you's slow down." Pony and Johnny gave me weird looks but both obeyed and slowed their walking pace. Soon Nikki caught up with us. "Hey babe." She looked at Pony totally ignoring me. "Hey Pony…" Johnny waved at her without saying a word. "That's Johnny." I said over her shoulder. "Hi Johnny nice to meet you I'm Nikki."
Johnny didn't say anything he just looked forward. "Where you heading off to babe?" Nikki huffed and looked at me. "Home, I just got off of work." She began to pick up the pace and walk faster but so did the rest of us. "Well how about I walk ya home make sure you get their alright."
"Why don't you go buy some cigarettes and smoke yourself to death." Damn she was a quick one. "You know Nikki Dally is right, you shouldn't be walkin around here by yourself this late at night." She gave Pony boy a sympathetic look and shrugged her shoulders. "I would have the car but my sister needed it to drive my brother to practice, besides I'm a pretty quick girl I can watch out for myself."
"Yeah sure." Nikki stopped walking and got all up in my face, I'm liking this. "You say something Dallas!" I just shook my head and held up my hands. "Nah, but I feel sorry for the bastard who crosses your path." She just turned around and walked in front of me. "What you do at home Nikki, you into any hobbies." She just shook her head. "Yeah kinda but my brother and sister are out, so I'll be home alone."
The three of us didn't bother to ask about her parents, I don't think we really wanted to. "Why don't you come back to my house, my friends and brothers are there that way you won't have to be alone." I knew there was a reason why I loved this damn kid. "Oh no that's ok Ponyboy." I poked him in his side behind Nikki's back.
He knew that meant to keep asking her. "I know the guys will like you, they are really nice and I bet you'll really get along with Soda." Nikki cocked an eyebrow at Pony, just the way Two - Bit does when something doesn't quite match with him. Pony did that puppy dog thing with his eyes, that no girl could ever resist. "Alright, I'll stop by for a bit, your all right kid."
I noticed the wind had died down and I pulled the cigarette out of my pocket, trying to light it again. "That stuff is gonna kill ya." I looked over at Nikki, put out my match and held my cigarette between my fingers. "Isn't this what you want me to do, smoke myself to death." She just rolled her eyes and folded her arms across her chest.
"Ya cold babe?" Nikki let out a growl sound. "No and stop calling me babe, I'm not one of those cheap whores you probably like to pick up all the time." She was a sharp one. "Man you're a bitch." That must have done it cause she really started to pick up the walking pace, but stopped when she noticed that she had no idea where she was going.
"I'm such a bitch to you because first off you walk up to the stand with a shit eating grin on your face, call me babe, then don't even pay for your popcorn." Ponyboy and Johnny just laughed cause they knew that's just what I did. I just took the last puff of my cigarette tossed it on the ground and stomped it out.
Nikki kept walking next to Pony when I noticed that she folded her arms across her chest again. I just walked up to her and asked her again. "Ya cold?" She sighed and nodded. "Yes I am, there ya satisfied jerk, I am cold." at this point I was feeling like a gentlemen, so I took off my jacket and dropped it around Nikki's shoulders. "Thank you." even though it was through clenched teeth, a thank you coming from Nikki. Was a good start.
We walked the rest of the way in silence, until we reached the Curtis house.
So I think I kind of know where I am going with this, once again sorry if it sucked, I hope the chapters get better, please review.
