"Only Dana, you know she takes the longest everyday." she told me. I was gettin tired of waitin, and I figured that no on e would see me go in there, so I walked in.
"Dana?" I yelled as I walked in. There weren't any showers runnin or anything like that.
"Logan is that you?" she questioned me as she came arond the corner.
"Yup." I responded. She had changed into a a burnt orange tank top and a blue jean skirt with burnt orange designs on the back pockets; she had on burnt orange flip-flops also. Her hair was wet, and she smelt really good, so you could tell that she had just had a shower.
"What are you doin in her?" she asked as she brushed her hair.
"This isn't gonna as easy as I was thinkin is it?" I questioned. She looked at me puzzled. "You and nick." i explained.
"Oh." she said. "I don' think it's gonna be as easy as I was thinkin either." she responded truthfully. Then she smiled as at me. I suddenly heard something at the door. I looked at Dana for some kinda help because if I was caught in there, I could get nto a whole lot of trouble. "Go hide somewhere, and quit lookin at me." She told me.
After twenty minutes, I decided that it was safe to come out. Dana was just sittin there, and she laughed at me once I came out.
"What are you laughin at?" I questioned her.
"You." She told me without a problem.
"Shut up." I told her while laughin. "How come you didn't tell me that no one was commin in?" I asked her.
"Cause I decided that I wanted to see how long it would take you to come out." she responded. We both walked over to the door, and reached my hand out to open the door, but it wouldn't open. I looked at Dana wooried. "What's wrong?" she quesitoned me.
"It won't open." I responded.
"Yeah right, you're just tryin to get me back." she said to me as she moved me out of the way and tried to open the door, but she coudln't get it open either. "No way." she said. "This can't be happening, I'm gonna be trapped in here with you all day!" she moaned.
"Well don't make it sound like such a bad thing." I told her.
"It is a bad thing. I'm suppose to meet Nick in the lounge in 30 minutes, and instead I'm gonna be stuck in here with you." she told me.
"Do you have you're cell?" I quesitoned her.
"No, I was in such a hurry to leave the house, I forgot it. Do you have yours?" she asked me.
"No, same thing happend to me." I responded. Dana opened her locker and grabbed her ipod out. She sat against a wall and began listening to it. "Do you know how dirty that wall is?" I quesitoned her.
She didn't say anything.
"You wouldn't be tryin to ignore me would you?" I questioned her as I sat down right next to her, we were so close that our legs were touching. She scooted away from me, and turned her head the other direction. "Whoa, what's up with the mood swing?" I asked her. I was tryin to get her to laugh, but it wasn't workin. I finally couldn't take the scilence anymore, so I snatched off her headphones. She glared at me, and I couldn't belive that she was actin like such a bitch when less than five minutes ago we were havin a great time.
"Give me thoughs back!" Dana exclaimed.
"No, I want to know what your problem is." I told her.
"I don't have a problem, now give me my headphones." she told me. I wasn't gonna take that for an answer.
"If you don't tell me the truth, I'm gonna strip." I told her.
"Whatever." She said as she rolled her eyes.
She shouldn't have said that because I was dead serious. I'm not shy at all when it comes to that stuff. I guess you can say I get around, but with Dana it was diffrent. I should up and took off my shirt. I twirrled it around my head in a joking manner and then I threw it down on the ground. Next came my jeans. I just happend to have a belt on that day, so I had to undo that first, and then I dropped my jeans. Dana turned away and quit looking by this time, but I was really determined to capture all of her attention. I took off my wife-beater, and the next thing I knew, the only thin that was left was my boxers.
"Dana..." I said her name so that she would look at me, and she did. "If you don't start talkin to me, these are gonna be gone too." I teased. She didn't look like she belived me to much, but she didn't turn her focus away from me, so I didn't drop them yet.
"Please don't." she told me.
"Well then tell me what's wrong!" I yelled as I sat down on one of the benches. I was staritin to get frusterated becuase I realy just wanted her to talk to me.
"It's just that...I was hopin that once we got back everything would go back to normal, but they didn't, haven't, and most likely won't. I don't want to like you Logan. I'm sorry if that hurts you, but I really don't! I...I'm just fighting myself right now."
"Why?" I quesitoned her. "I'm tired of you denying and fighting, it doesn't make any sense to me. I've been bein really patient, but I really don't understand why you don't want to like me." I told her as I got on my knees and leaned right infront of her face. She turned her head so that she didn't have to look in my eyes. I put my hand on her cheack to try to get her to look at me, but she turned her head away from me even more. This made me really angry, so I stould up right then and walked to the other side of the locker room. I was still only in my boxers, but I didn't care right then. I didn't want to be around Dana right then. I think I fell asleep becuase the last thing that I remember is sitting down.
When I woke up, Dana was on her knees right in front of me like I had once been in front of her.
"I wasn't done talkin to you." she told me with a huge grin on her face.
"Well I'm still done talkin to you." I responded as I got up to walk away.
"Come on, don't be like this Logan." she said to me as she grabbed my arm. I turned around and looked at her in the eyes. I didn't know why she had such power over me. If this would have been any other girl then I would have just kept right on walkin. She pulled me closer to her by my arm, and she moved her gaze from my eyes, to my hand. She started to run her figers through mine, and I just stould there and let her. I guess that she finally got sick of standingthere because she went and sat down in the same place I was sitting not to long ago. I went and got in the same position in front of her that I was in before I fell asleep. I used my hands to keep a good balance as I leaned in twords her. She looked a little scared, but due to the events that happened yesterday I didn't blame her. She knew that I would never do something like that to hurt her though. I was gonna kiss her, but right whne I got there, she turned and all that I was able to kiss was her cheak. I took a deep sigh in dissapointment, and I leand back into my original position. She looked at me as if to say that she was sorry. I reached in my pocket and gave her her headphones back. She took them, but she she didn't star listenin to her ipod this time. She looked at me again and grabbed my hand and started to mess with it agian. It was soothing, the way that she ran her fingers through mine, but I wanted more. And for some reason, right then, that's all that she was willing to do. Not that I wanted to do to much, but a kiss would be nice. Dana started to tug on my hand to get my attention. I guess she could tell that i was spacin off. I didn't mean to though. She leaned forward this time, and then she kissed me on the lips really softly. It was a precious, and not descusting kiss. It was just sweat.
"Mmm...strawberry-banana." I commmented on her lipgloss. She laughed a little bit at the thought.
"You're retarded," she told me as she stould up. I followed her lead, standing right in front of her. She tried to walk around me, but I wouldn't move. She looked at me weird as if this were some sort of game, and she was determined to get around me. She smirked, and the took off around me, and I chased after her. She was fast, but I was faster, and I wasn't gonna let her get to far. I finally caught her and pulled her in twords me by grabbing her waist. She playfully tried to get away as I pulled her closer. Eventually she quit figitin, and I was able to pull her into my bare chest. She turned her body around, so that she was facing me. I felt this suductive look appear on my face, and once again I wanted her. I wanted her more than anything that I've ever wanted. I wanted to say something, but I couldn't I just kept staring at her. The more that I looked at her, the hotter she looked, and the more I wanted her. I closed my eyes and told myself to get a grip because I felt like I was loosing it. I walked twords her; still holdnig her hips, causing her to move backwards into the wall. I moved my face in twords her, so that I could kiss her, but I wanted to make sure that it was alright with her, so I only wetn 80 percent of the way. If she was okay with it, she would come ten to that I could go the rest of the way. She took a deep breath and then moved ten, so I sealed the deal by kissin her. It was the most pationate kiss that I've ever had. I swear that I was in heaven.
Dana was stil pinned against the wall. Call it a Dana sandwhich if you will because there wasnt' any space between me and Dana either. She began sliding down the wall, and I went twords the floor every inch of the way. Our lips didn't seperate for even a moment. Once I hit the floor, I began to lean backwards, pulling Dana with me, so that she was on top of me. We stayed like that for a little while until I felt like she may be ready to take it to the next level. I put my hands on the bottom of her shirt, and then I slid my hands up and down on her bare skin. After that I began to gradually slide her shirt off. She let me without a problem, and I was glad because I wanted this more than anything in the world. Next was her skirt, which surprisingly just slipped off. We continued to make out. I was still only in my boxeres, and Dana now only had on a bra and panties. I reached to undo her bra when Dana finally pulled back.
"Wait Logan, do you think that we should do this?" She quesitoned me.
"Only if you want to." I responded. I wanted to, but I wasn't gonna force her to do it.
"I don't know. I mean, do you even have a condom?" she asked me.
I walked over to my jeans and pulled out my walet. "About fifty." I told her as I grabbed one and held it up so that she could see. She lowered her eyes as if to be defeated.
"Have you ever done this before?" She questioned as I sat down next to her.
"Yeah more than a few times." I answered truthfully. I didn't want her to feel unconfortable, but I had to ask her. "Have you?"
"Only few times, but only with one person." she told me. I was surprised because I thought that she was gonna say no.
"Who with?" I asked her with a sudden intrest.
"Nick." She told me.
"Wait but you guys have only been goin out for like a week." I pointed out.
"It happened last year before we ever thougth about goin out.Well at least the first time. Don't ask me how, but it did." she told me as she stould up.
"Where are you goin." I questioned her.
"I'm jsut sittin down on the bench to think. I mean, I don't really want to do it on the girl locker room floor. I want my first time with you to be special." she explained as she sat down.
"The moment is what makes it special, not the location." I todl her. I sounded like the right thing to say. She smiled and walked twords me. She grabbed my hand, made me stand up, and began kissing me agian. She finally ended the kiss.
"Logan, I like you a lot, bu tI can't do it here." she told me as she walked away from me grabbing her clothes. I was just puttin my jeans on when she came back around the corner dressed. "You're slow." she told me as she thrrew one of my socks at me. I laughed at the comment, and finished getting dressed.
"What time is it?" I wondered outloud.
"Good question. I'm so hungry." she told me. "I wonder if anyone's lookin for us?" She said.
"I don't know." I responded. I couldn't get my mind to slow down. I kept constantly thinkin about Dana, and how much I liked her. Maybe even lo...wait no! I don't mean that. I was not about ot say what you think that I was gonna say. So, just forget about it!
"I can't wait until we get out of here. Plus I'm suppose to talk to Zoey about my stupid kissing booth that I'm gonna do at the carnival. Oh and I"m suppose to sing then too..." Dana just kept goin on and on. I was startin to wonder if she wasn't just talkin to herslelf. It suddenly occured to me that she had said that she was gonna have akissin booth.
"I didn't know that you were gonna do the girls kissin booth." I inturupted.
Dana looked like she had to think about what I had said for a moment, and then she answered me. "Oh yeah. umm...I told her that I would do that for her a long time ago. Even though, it's gonna be really hard because there's probably gonna be some really ugly guys there." she stated.
"Well, I'm doin the guys side, so you won't be alone."
"There's no way that Zoey convinced yout o do the guys kissing booth." she told me with her eyes wide.
"It was a bet. She won, I lost, and that was the consiquence." I explained. I wanted to make a long story short. I guess she understould that becuase she didn't ask anymore questions.
"Are you gonna go to Mick's party on Saturday?" she questioned me. I had actulaly forgotten all about it.
"Oh, yeah! Thank's for remindin me about that." I said while laughin. "Are you?" I questioned.
"I don't think so." she responded as she sat on the floor. I sat down next to her.
"Why not? It's gonna be fun. Mick always throws the best parties." I explained.
"Yeah, that's what I heard, but if I go, then I'm gonna have to go with Nick and...well you know the rest." she said. I lowered my eyes.
"How are we gonna do this?" I asked her as I continued lookin at the ground.
"Come on Logan, not now! I don't want to go there." she began.
"Look I'm sorry, but if we don't go there now we never will. Ever since this stuff between me and you has been happenin, you've been hot and cold. One minute you hate me and the next minute you're tellin me that you like me. We go from gettin ready to kill eachother to makin out! We have to talk about this sometime because if we don't then it's gonna be like this forever." I told her. She looked at me as if the agreed.
"I think I should tell you what happened with me and Nick last year." she told me.
"What does loosin your virginity to Nick have to do with this?" I quesitoned her. I was irritated because all of this one minute I'm in love and the next minute I'm fightin crap was gettin on my nerves. How do people deal with it. I've never had to go through it before, and let me tell you, I hate it!
"Look, I just think that you should know how it happened." she said.
"Fine, go ahead, but I still don't see what this has to do with us." he began. She rolled her eyes and began the story.
"You see, since last year was the girls first year at PCA, I wanted to find soem friends. Nick ended up being one of the closest friends that I've ever had in my life, but then a couple of things happened. Number one we both got druck at MICK'S last party..."
"Wait, I thought you didn't go to one of his party's ever before." I inturupted.
"Yeah I have." she answered. "Anyways...we both got drunk, number two Nick said all of the right things, and it just sorta happpend. Well the next morning, I was terrified. It's not like I didn't remember everything that had happened, it's just that I didn't want it to happen. Nick asked me out, and I told him that I wouldn't ever go out with him because he was such a dumb ass jerk for takin advantage of me. But the thing is, he really never took advanage of me. I just didn't want to admit my mistake. Well later on this year, I decided that I would go out with him, and how can I break up with him now. He's such a sweatheart, and he hasn't done anything wrong. I don't know why I"m even taellin you all of this because all that you care about is us being together..."
"Finally you get what I'm sayin." I comented.
"The thing is Logan! Me and you are not the only people in the world, and sometimes you have to do what you hate the most, in order the do the right thing. And what I'm sayin is that...there can never be a real you and me. I mean, this stuff that we're doin now isn't right. I love Nick..." she began.
"Yeah, and that's why you almost had sex with me a couple minutes ago." she looked at me hurt, and I did't care at the moment. She had no right to say that she loved him. Expecially since over the past few days I've been the one that's been with her. How could she just act like the only possible answer was to say that we couldn't eer be together.
"My thing is, I have a feelin that the only reason I like you is physical reasons. I don't even know you all that well. Yeah you did help me in a big time of need yesterday, but you also hurt me, and don't you forget that." I could feel my body tense up once she said that. "I think that you need to stop being to selfish and think about other people for a change. It's not like me leaving Nick to run off with you is the best thing. I have deeper feelings for Nick than just that." she finished.
"You have the nerve to call me selfish? All of my life, I've been doni what ever my parents tell me. Logan we're gonna move tomorrow, we need you to pack your bags, or Logan I'm sorry but we're gonna be gone for the next monthe because of this new movie. Shit I have to take everyone of my girlfriends that I actually like to meet them, so that they'll approve of the girl. So I'm sorry if I'm tryin to hold on to the one thing that's truly mine, Because my life belongs to my parents. This is probably the only thing that I"m ever gonnna have a true influence on, and you know what?" I questioned.
"What." she responed, she looked like she was close to tears.
"I love you, and I'm not gonna just let you go that easy." I told her. She looked surprised that I had told her I loved her. I didn't relize it at the moment. "I don't fight for just anyone, but I will fight for you, you're everything to me, and I..."
"How do you know all of this in just three days. Be honest. Last week you only wanted me becauase I was the only girl that you couldn't have here, and now you all of the sudden love me?" she questioned. I hate it when people question my word. She stould up after saying this.
I stould up, and I began to give her "the look."
"Don't you dare challenge my word. Plus how is that any different than you sayin that you love Nick when you've only been dating a week?" I asked. She rolled her eyes.
"I sould pound your face in just for syain that." she told me.
"Go ahead I'm standin right here." I told her as I looked her dead in the eye. She rolled her eyes and began to walk away from me. "Yeah that's what I thought. And don't go thinkin that you're foolin anybody. I know that you do have some sorta feelings for me whether you're gonna admit it or not!" I yelled. She turned aorund and got right in my face. She looked me dead in the eye.
"You have no idea how I feel. And don't you dare go actin like you know all about me just because I've ben bein nice to you for a few days. Shit you're lucky that I've even been talkin to you as big of a jerk you are. As far as "my feelings" for you. I don't have any."
"Oh so now you'retellin my that you're a slut and you go around makin out with any guy that you come across. I know you better than that." I told her.
"YOU DON'T KNOW ME! Will you get that through that big head of yours?" she questioned.
"Why do you alwayas have to play these stupid ass games with me Dana? Will you just be real for once. Just for once tell me the the truth! I'm getting so confused. You confuse my heart. Not my mind Dana, my heart and I dont' know what I should do about it!" I exclaimed.
I saw a couple of tears slide down her cheack as she sat down on one of the benches. She was tryin to hold up the wall that she had been able to build around me, but some how these pat few days I was findin a way to break it. I know that was what she was afraid of. She didn't want to me to hurt her becuase it's no secret that I had hurt other girls in the past, but I kept tellin her that she was differrent from other girls. Why couldn't she just understand that?
"Well aren't you gonna say anything?" I asked her. I was startin to get impacient.
"What do you want me to say?" she questioned. I told a deep breath and rolled my eyes. She knew what I wanted her to tell me. I wanted her to tell me that she loved me like I loved her.
"I want you to tell me the truth. Haven't I already told you that?"
"I'm sorry that I gave you the wrongim pression, but I don't like you. I thoguth that I did, but now I know that I don't. Once we get out of here, everything's got to go back to normal. There's no more me and you." she told me. That hurt a lot. I didn't want her to say that, or anything that sounded like that. Just then my phone. rang. "I thought that you didn't have you're phone." Dana said confused.
"Yeah and I thought that I ment somethin to you." I told her as I stould up to answer it.
Chase: Hey Logan what's up?
Logan: Nothin, do you think that you could do me a favor?
Chase: What do you need.
Logan: Will you come and open the girls locker room door forme and Dana.
Chase" The girl locer room door?
Logan: Look, it's a long story, and I'll explain it later. Just right now come and get me.
Chase: Alright, I'll be there in a cdouple of seconds.(click)
Logan: (click)
"So, you've had your phone the whole time?" Dana questioned as she stould up.
"Yeah." I told her.
She shook her head and laughed. "Is he gonna come and get us?" she questioned me.
"Yeah, he said that he'd be here in a little while." I responded.
"Thank god." she said as she put her ipod on.
I just kept quiet. I didn't want to talk to her. How could she expect everything to just go back to normal after all of this. These past three days had been amazin, and now she just texpected me to pretend like it never happened. As if that was actually gonna happen. I could'nt understand why she would thin that I could just forget about her and I.
"Logan are you down there?" Chase said to us. I told him to come and open the door but not right now. I was going to see why Danna and I could'nt be togeather although we truely were'nt.
