Don't own anyone but Dani. xForza Italia 06 Krissyx owns Serena

Chapter 13

Dani's POV

The next morning, I woke up to screaming coming from downstairs. I got up and went down there to see what was going on.

"Darryl Shayne Curtis! You are not my father, so stop acting like it!" Serena yelled.

"No, but I'm s'posed to be takin' care of ya, and I don't want you datin' him!" Darry yelled back.

I walked into the living room, where the yelling was coming from and stood in the doorway.

"Well, that's too bad cause I am!" she yelled. "I'm dating Dallas Winston whether you want me to or not!"

"No!"

"What's wrong with her datin' my brother?"

"Your brother is with a different girl every night! Even when he was with Sylvia, he was cheatin' on her!"

"Dallas isn't gonna cheat on Serena!"

"How do you know that?"

"Cause he likes her too much to do that!"

On that note, Darry walked out of the house and went to work, without saying another word. "Thanks," Serena said.

"No problem, Rini. He's my brother as well as your boyfriend. I don't want anyone talkin' bad about him. Plus, Darry has no right to tell you who you can and can't date."

"Yeah, I know."

"So how'd he find out anyway?"

"Dally came by earlier, and Darry caught us kissing."

"Oh," I paused, "So where is everyone?"

"Soda and Steve are at work; Pony and Johnny are somewhere with Two-Bit' Dally's either at Buck's or Shepard's; and we're here." I mouthed an 'oh.'

"So I guess it's just us girls today?"

"Yeah, unless Tim or Dally come along."

"Hmm…wanna go to the DX?"

"Sure, but first I think you should get dressed." I looked down and saw that I only had on a pair of pajama shorts and a sport's bra.

"Oh yeah. I'll be back in, like, twenty."

I went into the bathroom and quickly showered. Then I went up to my and Serena's room and got dressed in a short jean miniskirt and a black halter. I did my hair and makeup and went downstairs. "I'm ready," I said.

"Okay, let's go."

We walked out of the house and down the street to the DX. When we got there, Soda and Steve were sitting outside talking to Dallas. "Hey guys," I said.

Dallas got up and went over to Serena. "Hey baby," he said and kissed her. "Listen, I heard about the fight between you and Darry, and I don't wanna be the one to come between you two."

"Don't worry about it. It's Darry. Once he gets used to the idea, he'll be fine," Serena said.

"Okay."

I sat on the hood of a car and watched the cars pass by. Serena and Dally had started making out, Soda was helping a customer, and Steve had gone into the garage, leaving me by myself. I looked around and saw a familiar face walking in the direction of the DX, and I smiled. I slid off the car as he walked up. I walked over to him, and, really close to his face, said, "Hey Tim."

"Dani." I smiled, thinking of the previous nights events.

"So what brings ya over here?" I asked, running my hand up and down his arm.

"Saw y'all over here, so I thought I'd come say hi."

"Mhmm…sure."

Dallas and Serena had stopped kissing when they heard Tim's voice. "Hey Shepard."

"Hey Winston."

"Ya know, Tim, you look really, really sexy in that shirt," I said, giving him a seductive look.

"Dani, I thought I told ya not to mess with him," Dal said.

"Yeah, and I said I wouldn't mess with him much. And this is barely doing that," I said, smirking. Dal just shook his head and started talking to Serena.

I moved closer to Tim and whispered in his ear, "I had a lot of fun last night. Next time we're gonna have to try without the interruptions." I paused for a minute. "And stop undressin' me with your eyes. You're too obvious."

He grinned and whispered, "I can't help it after last night."

I smiled. "Meet me at your house in fifteen minutes and make sure you're alone." I moved away and went back to sitting on the car.

"I'll see y'all later," Tim said, looking at me.

"Okay. Bye Tim," I said. Dal and Rini were making out again, so they didn't answer. About ten minutes later, I slid off the car and said, "I'm gonna go. I'll catch ya guys later."

"Bye Dani," Soda said, coming out of the office.

I walked away and down streets and around corners to Tim's house. I walked up the steps and knocked on the door. Tim answered, shirtless again. "Hey," he said, turning around and walking into the living room. There were scratch marks on his back.

"Are those marks from last night?" I asked.

"Yeah. You really like to scratch when you're screwing someone, huh?"

"I guess. Sorry."

"No problem. They're 'love marks' just like those hickeys on your neck." I smiled and wrapped my arms around him and kissed him.

"I'm gettin' a drink. Ya want anything?"

"Nah, I'm good."

I went into the kitchen and had a glass of water. When I went back into the living room, I found Tim lying on the couch watching TV. I turned the TV off and straddled him. "Hi there," he said.

I leaned down and kissed him. He placed his hands on my upper thighs and kissed me back. He moved his hands up my shirt and caressed my back. "Dani?"

"Yeah?"

"I think…we…should…tell Dal," he said between kisses.

I stopped kissing him and sat up. "What?"

"I think we should tell Dal about us," he repeated.

"I don't. We're having so much fun. Why do we gotta ruin it?"

"I hate havin' to sneak around with you. You might think it's fun, but I don't. We couldn't even finish what we started last night 'cause ya didn't wanna get caught by Curly."

I got off of him and stood up. "Well maybe we shouldn't sneak around anymore. We'll just be friends. No more touching or kissing."

"Dani, I don't wanna break up with you."

"Well, I don't want Dal to know. He'll kill you if he finds out. Good bye Tim." I walked out of his house, leaving him shocked.

I walked down the street, my eyes filling with tears. I really didn't want to break up with him, but Dal will kill him if he finds out me and Tim were messing around. I don't want that to happen.

I wiped my eyes and walked into the Curtis's house. No one was home, so I sat on the couch and turned on the TV. I wasn't really paying attention to what I was watching. I was caught up in my thoughts. I really shouldn't have broken up with Tim. He's right. We should've told Dally. He would've gotten used to it. Now what sucks is that I think I might actually love TimI shook the thoughts from my head. I really didn't want to believe that I broke up with a guy that I had strong feelings for.

I got off the couch and went into the kitchen. I headed straight for the refrigerator. I opened the freezer and took out a carton of ice cream. I grabbed a spoon and went back to my spot on the couch. Some love story came on, so I watched it and ate half the container of chocolate ice cream.

The door opened and slammed closed, but I just ignored it. "Hey Dani."

I looked up. "Hi Rini."

"What're ya doin'?"

"Just eatin' some ice cream and watchin' TV."

She looked at me for a minute before asking, "Are you okay?" My eyes were probably red and puffy from the tears.

"I'm fine."

"Danielle Winston, you are not fine. Now tell me what happened," she said, taking the ice cream away from me. I sat there in silence. "Did something happen with Tim?" I nodded. "I knew you should've never gotten involved with him. He's only the biggest hood in Tulsa."

"Serena, stop. It's not like that. We got in a fight, and we broke up."

"A fight about what?"

"Whether or not to tell Dallas about us." Tears started streaming down my cheeks, and I quickly wiped them away.

"Oh Dani. I'm sorry," she said and pulled me into a hug.

After a few minutes, I stopped crying and pulled away. "Thanks Rini. I'm gonna go for a walk. I'll see you later." I walked out of the house and to the lot. For some reason, I always come here to think. I lay down in the grass and thought about everything that's happened over the past few days. Sometime, during my thoughts, I drifted off to sleep.

When I woke up, it was dark out, and the sky was filled with stars. I stood up and walked back to the house. Everyone was in the living room talking and watching TV. I walked upstairs, changed, lay down, and fell into a dreamless sleep.
