Then he kissed me

Pony POV

Nervous, but excited I led her to a darkened corner, where the noise from the party was lessened.

"You ok Pony?" She asked taking in my flushed features.

"Yea, I just … I just wanted to ask you if you'd me my girl," I said nervously pulling the bouquet from behind my back.

"Oh Pony! Of course," She said making me grin when she threw herself in to my arms.

" These are my favorite," She said hugging the flowers closer to her heart.

" No one ever gave me flowers before," She said smiling up at me, as she smelled their sweet aroma.

"Will you wear my ring?" I asked feeling high off the rush asking her steady had brought. This must be what's it feels like for Soda, and Love I thought knowing my face now held the same goofy expression that matched theirs.

" Yes," She said blushing.

"You're the sweetest boy I've ever known in my whole life," She said before setting the flowers on the banister, and pulling me closer for a kiss.

Sighing in to her lips I pulled her closer knowing that this kiss was different from any we had ever shared before.

Love's POV

After divvying out the last of the cake, I kissed Soda on the cheek before walking over to the table we had set the drinks up on, and grabbing a beer.

"Happy Birthday Lovey," Tim Said making me smile.

"Thanks for the dress," I said smiling up in to the dark eyes so deep blue they were almost black.

" It looks good on you," he said making me blush

"You want to dance?" He asked making me grin as he led me out back where everyone was swaying to the slow song now playing.

"Ya know you're a pretty good dancer Shepard," I said smiling as he pulled me closer, and I rested my head on his shoulder.

"You think so huh?" He asked, making me shiver when his warm breath caressed my ear.

"I'm glad you could make it," I said deciding to be brave, and slip my arms around his neck.

" So am I," he said making me wonder why he was letting me be so touchy feely.

Normally Tim didn't like to be touched so intimately. I'd never even seen the broads he'd been sleeping with touch him the way I was right now. Enjoying the warmth of his body, and the feeling of being safe he always provided I closed my eyes and let my worries leave me. Content to enjoy the moment. He was well built, and the liquor I had consumed made me bold enough to run my hands over the taut muscles in his back.

"Lovey," he whispered making me pull back to meet his piercing gaze.

"Hmm," I mumbled shocked when his soft lips met mine for the first time.

Pony's POV

Feeling like I was on top of the world, I pulled Angela in to my arms and began to sway to the music we could hear coming from the back yard. The moonlight bathed us with just enough light out front to look in to each other's eyes and as we danced I knew I was in trouble. Because right now I would do anything this girl wanted me to. It wasn't a feeling I was familiar with, and that scared me in a way.

"What are you thinking?" She asked stroking my wayward hair.

It was growing back from being lopped off, and I still had a couple of cowlicks going

" That I've never really felt this way before," I said honestly.

"You know something Pony Boy, neither have I," She said burying her face in to the crook of my neck.

"No one has ever treated me the way you do, and I always find myself waiting…"

"For what?"

"For you to realize I'm just a grease girl, with brother's that are the worst hoods around this place, for you to get mean like the other boy's did."

" I'd never do that to you Ang," I said pulling away to look in to her watering eyes.

" I know Pony, and that's what scares me the most," She whispered shivering.

"I guess what I'm trying to say is, I know we've only been together for a couple of months, but … I love you," she said quietly making my heart sing.

That was it! The word I'd been looking for to try and describe just how I felt for her. The funny feeling in my chest when she was around, and the thing that made me wonder where she was and what she was doing when I wasn't with her.

"You know what baby," I said lifting her chin gently.

" I love you too." I said closing my eyes as I pulled her in to a kiss moaning deep in my throat when she slid her hands up the back of my shirt.

I was on fire, and her hands were scorching every place they touched. Lifting her gently I placed her on the banister moving in between her legs to be closer. Moaning when she locked her legs around my back and pulled me to her I grabbed a fist full of her hair. With her I was wild, and free, like the animal I was named after.

Love's POV

"T- Tim?" I stuttered completely stunned by the very public display of affection we had just engaged in.

" I've been interested in you for a while now Lovey, but I wanted to give you some time to get over Johnny, I understand if you don't want anything to do with me, I mean I know I'm a hood, and hell you're barley a greaser, cept for your brothers, and the fact that you can fight real good," he whispered refusing to meet my eyes as he moved us in to a dark corner of the back yard where we could have some privacy.

"Oh Timmy," I whispered smiling gently as I waited for him to look up and met my eyes.

It looked like I had gotten what I'd wished for that year. When I blew out my candled I had wished for someone just for me, someone tuff and greasy, but would love me like on one ever had before.

"You're what I wished for," I said grinning as a rare full-blown smile spread across his lush lips.

"What you wished for?" He asked tilting his head to the side the same way I did when I was confused.

"Tonight, when I blew out the candles I wished for someone just for me," I said laughing when his eyes widened in surprise.

" Be sure Love, cause once this is on, I'm not calling it off for anything, not your brothers, not Angela, no one," he said with a look that would have scared most girls.

" I wouldn't have it any other way," I said laughing as he lifted me in to the air spinning me around.

When I had asked for some one tuff, I'd had no ideal fate was going to send Tim my way. Looking up in to the star filled sky I thought of my mom.

:Mom you said Dad was a hood once right: I thought wondering if maybe they were still up there someone helping us when they could.
