It was around three in the afternoon when I woke up for a second time. My head still hurt, but it no longer felt like a jackhammer was pounding into my skull. I took that as a good sign.
Climbing out of bed, I walked to the bathroom. I winced as the bathroom light pierced through my eyes which were still only half-open. Turning the hot water on in the shower, I stripped down and stepped in, letting the warm water cascade down my back. Twenty minutes later, the hot water had run out, signaling the end of my shower. I emerged from the bathroom with a towel wrapped around me.
A whistle came from the living room and someone laughed when I jumped about six feet in the air. I felt a faint blush creep up my cheeks when I found the intruder to be a nineteen year old boy named Dally that, just a few hours ago, she'd been forbidden to see. I felt Dally look me up and down a few times before letting out another whistle. "Wow," he said, finally locking eyes with me. With raised eyebrows, he crossed the living room and walked towards me, stopping when there was less than an inch of space between us.
My breath caught as I looked into Dally's eyes. I knew from experience that it was pointless to attempt to look away; my body wouldn't let me. Slowly, Dally leaned in and closed the gap between us, capturing my lips in a deep, passionate kiss. Unfortunately, the kiss was cut short, as Darry chose the precious moment to arrive home from work. "What the hell is going on?" he roared.
"Nothing Dar," Dally replied in a much calmer voice.
"Obviously something! I come home and find you two kissing and my little sister naked." I looked down and let a curse escape my lips. I'd forgotten that I wasn't dressed yet. After holding up a finger, indicating I'd be back in a moment, I went into my room to get dressed. When I returned to the living room, Darry was on the couch, not looking at either of us, and Dally was leaning up against a table. He made a movement to catch my eye and showed me that he had a note for me, which he left on the table. With a quick nod, he escaped the house before the eldest Curtis brother had the opportunity to skin him.
Subtly, I walked past the table and snatched up the note. Continuing on into the kitchen, I got myself a drink and read the letter that Dally had left me. It read:
Rach-
Meet me at the park tonight around midnight.
-Dal
