Ch. 9 Blessed Be the Tube of Red Lipstick

A/N: Hey everybody! It's me Bambi and I'm back with Chapter Nine. A couple quick things. 1. This is probably my favorite chapter of this entire story and I really hope you all like it. 2. This is a very long chapter. 3. It's a teeny bit explicitly. Seeing as to how they are in church. I'm sorry in advance. As always, I do not, never have, nor will I ever own the rights to Welcome Back, Kotter or any of its characters. Now onto to chapter 9. I hope you really like it!

On a bright sunny Sunday morning the Sweathogs, Rosalie, her gang, and Amara are set to go to church. Rosalie and Amara just so happen to be there with Rosalie's parents greeting people as they walk into church. Vinnie had just arrived with the Sweathogs and began to say hello. Vinnie greets Reverend Totsie, Mrs. Totsie, Rosalie and finally Amara.

Except instead of the run of the mill handshake and how do you do, Amara leaps up and hugged Vinnie. Wrapping around him like a boa constrictor. "Hi Vinnie." Amara greets sweetly. "Hi sweetheart." Vinnie replies, his hands gripping Amara's waist.

"Amara Celeste Bari you are in church and we have other guests to say hello to." The Reverend reprimanded. Vinnie set Amara back down on the ground. "Sorry, uncle. Good compelled me." Amara apologized earning her a glare from her uncle, her aunt, and the other Sweathogs. Greetings pass as church promptly begins. Rosalie, her friends, and other Sweathogs are scattered about the church. Meanwhile, Amara was seated in the back right next to Vinnie.

He slides his arm around Amara's waist, moving her closer to him. He leans down slightly and whispers, "You look nice." Letting his mouth hover over her ear. In retaliation, Amara moves her well manicured hand to Vinnie's thigh whispering back, "Thank you." "My friends think you're messing with my head." Vinnie admits. "Well I'm not. You and I have a connection." Amara shot back. "Since we got a connection, wanna go with me to dinner Saturday night?" Vinnie asked feeling hopefully. Amara paused then replied, "I'd love to go with you." Vinnie smirked as if he won all the riches in the world before Amara pulled a tube of red lipstick from her bag.

"What are you doing?" Vinnie asks while Amara pulls up his sleeve. "You'll see in a minute." Amara assured as she popped the lipstick cap off. She writes down her telephone number and Rosalie's address on his arm. "You can call me here and picked me up here." Amara explained pointing at each individual number. "You got it." Vinnie whispered. Amara moved her lipstick from Vinnie's arm and reapplied it to her lips.

She pulls him closer and kisses his cheek, neck, and shirt collar. "Jesus, sweetheart." Vinnie gasps. He wasn't used to do doing this type in a church. If, his mother knew she'd probably smack him upside the head. "Couldn't help myself." She teased as church ends. "See you Saturday." Vinnie nodded. "See you Saturday." Amara replied. Vinnie raced out of the church to go catch up with his friends. Their eyes widened as soon as they see a lipstick covered Vinnie. "What happened?" Freddie questions worriedly. "She said yes! Gave me her number and where I can pick her up at." Vinnie gloated showing his arm off like it a badge of honor. The guys were shocked. They didn't want him going out with her. "So you're taking her out?" Juan asks. "Yeah." Vinnie admits happily.

Meanwhile, Amara had just joined Rosalie and her friends outside in the parking lot. "Well?" asked. "We have a date!" Amara declares triumphantly. The girls let out a resounding group of yes's. "We're half way there!" Judy beamed. "Now we gotta handle the date. He's just going to take you to a hot dog cart and behind a billboard. Try not to be too disappointed." Keke cautioned. "I'm more worried about his friends. I think they're on to me. Vinnie told me they think I'm just messing with his head." Amara pointed out. "Really? I'll take care of them don't worry." Rosalie soothed.

"Remember, four dates, sleep with him, and break his heart." Judy reminded. "I can do that." Amara assured. "Okay, now we gotta get out of here before my father burns Amara like a witch." Rosalie suggests. Amara rolls her eyes. "You were all over Vinnie during greeting and service." Rosalie teased. "Again, just doing my job." Amara shrugs as Just drives off.
