Chapter 30

Dani's POV

For the next couple of days, we put up huge signs, reading "Car Wash", around town, as well as spreading the word verbally to people. By the sounds of it, we were going to have a good number of people showing up.

Saturday morning I woke up, bright and early, and headed for the bathroom to shower. I was really excited for the car wash. It was going to be a lot of fun. After showering, I headed up to Serena's bedroom—I wasn't living with Tim yet, since we just got back together—and picked out a pair of short, ripped, jean shorts and my new, black bikini and put them on. I threw my hair into a messy bun and headed downstairs.

I smelled something delicious coming from the kitchen and headed in that direction. I found Darry in there, making pancakes. Yum…"Hey Dar, smells delicious," I said, sitting down at the table.

"Mornin' Danigirl. Sleep well?" he answered.

"Yeah, after I fell asleep. It was the going to sleep part that was difficult. I was really excited about the car wash."

He laughed. "Well you're gonna have to wait a little longer. Everyone is still getting ready, and then we gotta eat." I put a pretend pout on my face. "It ain't gonna change, Dani."

"Fine then. I'll go wait in the living room with this big stack of pancakes," I said, grabbing a plate of about five pancakes and walking into the living room.

"I can't believe you're so thin, Danigirl, when you eat like a pig." I laughed while trying not to choke on my bite of pancake.

About five minutes later, someone came up behind me and took my fork out of my hand and grabbed my plate. I looked up to see Two-Bit eating my breakfast. "What the hell!" I said.

"Was this yours?" he stupidly asked. I gave him a what-do-you-think look. He grinned and finished off my pancakes.

"God, I hate you sometimes," I said to him.

"You just say that. But right here," he said, putting his hand over his heart, "I know you have different feelings." I gave him a dirty look. "And might I say, babe, you're lookin' sexy." I smiled, and he walked into the kitchen, probably to get more food.

I heard yelling coming from outside, and I put a t-shirt on and walked onto the porch to see what all the commotion was about. I found Serena and Dallas yelling at one another once again. This was really getting on my nerves. It seems like all they ever do lately is fight. "Breakfast is ready," I yelled to them over their yelling. They paused and looked at me and then went back to arguing. I rolled my eyes and walked back inside.

The rest of the gang was sitting at the table eating breakfast. "Thank god you guys are almost done. I wanna go, now!"

"Dani, stop whining. Sometimes Two-Bit is even more mature than you," Soda said. I looked at him hurt. What an insult to say that I was more immature than Keith Matthews! "Don't worry, Dani. I was just kidding." Soda laughed. It's good to see that we have such a good joking friendship after I cheated on him, and he dumped me because I was still in love with Tim.

"You can be so cruel, Sodapop Curtis. Now let's go." I grabbed his hand, pulled him to his feet, and dragged him out the door. Everyone else followed, even Serena and Dallas when we passed them.

When we got there, there were already a few dirty cars waiting to be washed. Soda and Steve filled some buckets with soap and water and brought them over to Serena and me. Serena started washing one of the cars.

A few guys were leaning on the hoods of their cars and were staring at me. I lifted my shirt over my head, revealing my bathing suit—and some cleavage. Their jaws dropped, and I smirked. I love having this affect on guys. I picked up a sponge and started soaping down the first car.

About three cars later, I felt a pair of strong arms wrap around my waist and kissed my neck. I knew it was Tim, so I decided to play with his mind a little. "Oh, Tristan. I thought you weren't gonna come because Tim might find out."

"What!" Tim said pulling away from me. I tried to stifle a laugh.

"Whoops. I guess it wasn't Tristan after all. Damn, I didn't want you to know," I said, turning around to face him. He looked a little angry, and I really wanted to laugh. I walked over to him and said, "But you're a much better kisser than him. It's like I'm drowning when I kiss him."

"How could you—."

"Relax Timmy. I was kidding. I knew it was you behind me, so I decided to mess with you a little. And it was quite amusing actually. Maybe I should do that more often."

"I don't think so. My temper might not be so controlled next time."

I smiled and kissed him passionately on the lips. "I love you."

"I love you, too," he said and kissed me again. "You look really good in this—uhh—bathing suit."

"I bet I look even better with it off," I said, giving him a seductive look. He had a longing look in his eye, and he moved closer, moving his hands down to my upper thigh. "Later, baby. I'll meet you at your place, but right now I got work to do." I gave him a kiss and walked back to the car I was previously washing.

Serena's POV

Ughh, grossI really was not in the mood to see couples making out. I wasn't really having all that much luck in the romance department lately. I rolled my eyes and walked over to another car to start washing. I started saying what I've been saying to all the male customers I've had. "Hey cutie. Thanks for coming to our 'fundraiser.' It's much appreciated."

I backed away, and the driver got out of the car. When I saw who it was, I smiled. "Well, well, who do we got here?" Jay said. "Nice top." He smirked.

"I didn't think you were gonna end up coming," I said to him.

"Of course I came. I wasn't going to miss you in a bikini." I smirked at that statement.

"Hey Dani, we got another car to wash!" I yelled over to the office, where she was sitting with Tim.

"Before she comes over here, I got something I wanna ask you."

"Yeah?"

"Wanna go out with me tonight?"

"Jay, you know I can't. I got a boyfriend."

He leaned real close to my ear and whispered, "I can keep a secret." I smiled.

"Fine then. You wanna shot. Pick me up at seven. We better be going some place good though," I said and gave him a kiss before Dani reached us. Jay walked away and went into the office. Dani and I started washing his car. I couldn't stop thinking about out date tonight. I also couldn't stop thinking about what this would be considered doing if anyone found out.

We finished, and Jay came back to get his car. He climbed in, winking at me before his head disappeared inside, and then drove away. I started to head for another car, but Dani stopped me. "Rini, can I talk to you for a second?"

"Sure, Dani. What's up?"

"Actually I was just about to ask you the same thing. I overheard what you are planning to do tonight and saw you give Jay a kiss. That's totally cheating on Dallas. It's wrong."

"Shut up, Dani. You cheated on Soda with Tim, so don't even start criticizing me on my actions. Don't tell anyone." I didn't give her time to answer before I walked away. I knew she wouldn't tell since I knew so much about her doings. For the rest of the day, I couldn't stop thinking about Jay and what he might have planned for tonight.
