"I want to go back." Nicole told Allan calmly. As calmly as a female Guerrin could after being repeatedly come on to and insulted.
"Come on, you're no fun." He said moving towards her again.
"If you don't take me back I'll walk." Nicole said inching towards the door in anger and fear.
"It's too cold for a pretty little thing like you to be outside." He said moving even closer to her, "I'll keep you warm."
"If you touch me. Let's just say it isn't a good idea." She said ice lacing her words and she meant every word.
"What, you going to kill me, or are you going to have your little brothers attack?" He asked with a cocky grin.
Everyone knew how protective her little brothers were. They weren't that little they were in the tenth grade and they were taller than she was.
"There won't be much left to attack after I get done with you." She said menacingly, and it was true if he didn't let her go she would hurt him.
"I have at least fifty pounds of muscle on you." He said a bit too smug for her liking.
"If you don't take me home right now I think my family might have a big problem with you." She said with a tight smile.
She wasn't kidding either. If her father and her uncle's didn't take care of him her cousins and brothers would. Of course that was all based on the assumption that her Aunt's and Mother didn't get a hold of him first. There wouldn't be any of him left if they did.
"You know what. If you want me to take you back then maybe you should bribe me." He said wiggling his eyebrows.
"OK." She said playing along with an overly done seductive voice.
He moved in and she punched him as hard a she could right in the nose. She quickly got out of the car before he could get his grubby hands on her again.
She had enough for one night and she didn't feel like going home, she felt like going to see her best friends. Which were in town which was a long way a way from where she was standing on the side of the road.
She started to walk then it dawned on her that she left her jacket in Allan's car, and there was no way she going back there to get it.
She looked down the dark road and started to walk again.
Randy saw a figure walking in the dark as he drove up he recognized who it was immediately.
Randy pulled up along side her, not completely stopping, and said, "Get in."
At first Nicole had been startled but once she saw whom it was she felt a lot better.
"Screw you." Nicole yelled back.
"Listen, it's like 18 degrees outside with wind chill and you don't have a jacket. Get in the car and I'll take you home." Randy said driving very slowly down the deserted road.
"What do you not understand about 'screw you'?" She asked in a heated tone.
"Just get in, please." Randy said again as calmly as he could manage.
"Listen Golden Toy, if you think." Nicole began stopping to look into the window at him.
"That's it." Randy threw the car into park and got out.
"Get in or we're both staying out here." He said walking beside her.
"OK. What ever you say." Nicole said as she turned around and started walking in her original direction.
"OK, plan B." Randy mumbled as he picked Nicole up and threw her over his shoulder and walked back to the car.
Nicole thrashed around as best she could, but the boy had an iron grip around her.
Once he had dumped her in the back seat of his car he got in beside her bringing the front seat to it's upright position so she couldn't get away from him.
"Either you agree to stay in here and let me drive you somewhere or we both stay here till the temperature gets warmer. Take your pick girlie." He said staring at her.
She felt so cold. She had only been walking for an hour but it was so cold outside and she was still so far from town.
"I'm walking the rest of the way. Now let me out." Nicole said putting her arms around herself protectively.
"I'm not letting you walk the rest of the way to your house. Your father would kill me, I should know I work for him." He said seriously.
Randy had been working with her father at the art gallery for about a year now. He was an artist and he got ragged on for it but it paid good money to help out around there, and he had even sold one of his more flattering pieces.
"I'm not going home, and if you don't let me out I'll kill you." She said leveling him with a glare.
"No." He said firmly. "If I let you walk and you get kidnapped or if you freeze to death I'll have more than just your father to worry about." He said with genuine fear.
"No one has to know you saw me out here. Just let me go and we'll both be happier." She said gripping on to her sides even tighter.
"Why are you out here?" Randy asked curiously.
"None of your business that's why." She said angrily.
"Yeah you just happen to think that it'd be a great idea to take a stroll fifteen miles out of town in this kind of weather, right?" He asked sarcastically.
"Wouldn't believe me if I told you because you're all the same." She said shaking her head slightly.
"Whose all the same?" He asked a bit confused.
"You jocks. You all stick together so it doesn't matter what I tell you, you won't believe me." She said her nails felt numb from the pressure.
"Does that go for your cousin Eddie too?" Randy asked in disbelief.
"He's different." She said instantly.
"I thought you of all people wouldn't believe in those pathetic stereo types." He said shaking his head in disappointment.
"I know you'd take your friends side over mine, it's not a stereo type, it's common sense." She said still glaring.
"Who's this supposed friend?" He asked curiously.
"Allan Johnson." She said scooting farther into the side of the car.
"He's not my friend." He said anger in his eyes.
"Why not?" She asked.
"He's just not. He's not a respectable guy, and he's not a guy I want around me." He said shortly.
"So what does he have to do about you freezing out here?" He finally asked the question she had been dreading.
"Everything." She said with loathing in her voice.
"What did he do?" His anger rising, if he hurt her.
Nicole looked around the car trying to avoid his eyes.
"Did he try to hurt you?" He asked point blank.
"Don't worry about it." She said still avoiding his eyes.
"What did he do?" He asked his voice raising in tone.
"He wouldn't take me home and he advanced on me so I punched him and left." She said suddenly locking her eyes on her shoes.
"How long ago was that?" He asked looking at the clock.
"About an hour ago." She said quietly.
"Where do you want me to take you?" He asked his teeth clenched.
"My cousin's house." She said finally giving up on getting out of the car.
"Which one?" He asked a bit confused.
"I don't know who's home." She said quietly.
He reached between the front seats and got out his cell phone. He handed it to her wordlessly.
"Hey is Josh home? No don't worry about it. Just tell him I'll be over in a little bit, OK? OK, I love you too, bye." She said shutting the case and handing it to him.
"I guess take me to Josh Evans' house." She said looking up at him finally.
"OK." He said as he opened the door and got out standing there waiting for her to get out too.
Once she was out he opened the passenger door for her then went to get in on his own side, like the perfect gentleman.
"He lives where?" He asked as he turned the car on and began to drive towards town.
"Murray Lane." She said simply as she ran her hands up and down over her cold arms.
Randy looked over at her and shrugged off his leather jacket, "The heat doesn't work very well, I have to take it into the shop soon."
He tossed it to her and she caught it stunned for a moment. She finally put it on and the warmth wrapped around her like a blanket.
"Thanks." She said quietly starring out the window and into the dark sky ahead of them.
"Didn't Eddie warn you about him?" He asked quickly.
"He doesn't know I'm even out on a date." She said defending her cousin.
"But no one has ever told you how Allan operates?" He asked again.
"All I have heard are rumors, and I don't trust those." She said shortly now defending herself.
"I hate him. He's a sleaze he does this to every girl he dates." He said his knuckles turning white.
"You know how to make a girl feel special don't you?" She asked sarcastically.
"Never date Allan, or any of his friends." He said looking over at her.
"Sure boss, whatever you say." She said even though she fully planned to steer clear of dating any of the jock species.
"I'm serious." He said looking back out the window.
"Don't worry, I don't plan to date any jock ever again." She said with a tight grim smile.
"Not all of us are all that bad, I mean take Eddie for example. He's an all right guy even if he lacks a little on the field. He's respectful to all the cheerleaders. He's dated all the cheerleaders." He said with a small chuckle.
"I don't know how he has dated all of them he's not the brightest guy I know." She said honestly.
"Yeah, but he's a jock. Jocks always get the cheerleaders. It's like an accessory that comes with the letterman jacket. Come to think of it, thanks for ruining my letterman jacket." He said as he turned to glare at her.
"You spilt chocolate milk all over my sweater on purpose." She said glaring back at him.
"I tripped." 'Over my tongue, which was on the ground because you wore that sweater,' He of course didn't add the last part.
"Yeah but at least you got the chocolate milk out of yours." He said gesturing at the sweater she was wearing.
"Yeah, I have a good dry cleaner." She lied.
"Well not even a dry cleaner can get that stuff out of the leather, what was that any way. Cherry cola and Tabasco?" He asked.
"As always." She said with a small smile.
"I swear you have ruined more of my clothes with that drink than I have with anything else." He said shaking his head.
"Tell you what, since I ruined you letterman jacket how about I get it fixed?" She asked looking over at him.
"How, and how much will it cost?" He asked looking at her skeptically.
"I have my ways, and nothing at all. Since I ruined it I'll fix it." She said looking back down at her shoes.
"OK." He said turning into Murray lane, "I'll bring it by the office Monday. Now which house is Josh's?" He asked looking around at the houses that lined the street on both sides.
"That one." She said pointing at a two-story house to the left of the street.
He pulled up to the house and cut the engine of his mustang and parked it quietly.
She began to take off his jacket. Once she had it off she turned to look at him, to thank him.
His hand darted out and tucked a wild curl behind her ear gently resting at the side of her face for a moment longer than necessary.
"Thank you." She said softly while looking into his green eyes. They weren't like her mothers at all. Her mother had vibrant cat like bright green eyes; instead his were a rare jade color. They were dark and shiny. They were. entrancing they were beautiful.
"Your welcome." He said in the same manner.
She opened the door and closed it quickly. She didn't look back as walked inside the house.
Once she was safely inside he backed out of the driveway and made his way over to Eddie's with one thing on his mind.
"Hey Aunt Liz. Where's Josh?" Nicole asked as she walked inside.
"Up in his room." Max said walking up behind his wife and putting his arms around her pregnant waist.
"Thanks Uncle Max." She said with a smile as she made her way to the stairs.
'Definitely oblivious to the obvious.' She thought as she walked right into his room.
"Hey, I've been waiting for you, what took so long?" He asked not turning away from his computer.
"Are you and Thomas permanently attached to your computers?" She asked purposely avoiding the question.
"Yes. Now stop delaying and answer my question." He said still not turning from the chat he was having with Eddie and Thomas.
"I had to drive back from the desert." She said grabbing a piece of paper from his desk and a pencil from its holder. She took a moment to look around his room it was so neat, it was so. Josh. Her cousins were so different it was practically comical.
Josh was a neat freak computer dweeb, Eddie was a disorganized jock, and the only thing Thomas didn't forget was anything about his computer, and she. she was the biggest controversial one of all.
"What were you doing out there?" Josh asked confused typing a reply to Eddie.
"Stargazing." She said bitterly as she grabbed a hardback book and laid down on his bed laying her head at the foot of his bed.
"It's midnight, and your brother's have the Jetta. Who were you with?" He asked reading the conversation on the screen.
"Allan Johnson." She mumbled in hopes that he wouldn't hear her.
"What?" He asked loudly as he turned around sharply in his desk chair.
"Chill out. Nothing happened." She said halfway honest.
"So he turned out to not be a jerk after all?" He asked turning back to the computer.
"No he's a total jerk." She said staring at the paper trying to figure out what to draw.
"If he's such a jerk why'd he bring you back with out a fight. There wasn't a fight was there?" He asked looking over at her again.
"He wouldn't take me back so I started walking." She said meeting his eyes.
"So who brought you home?" He asked turning back to his computer to see what Eddie just said, "Randy Jackson?" He asked quietly.
"Yeah, how did you know?" She asked confused.
"I thought I heard his engine outside." He offered lamely as he quickly typed a reply into the computer and exited it so she couldn't see what he had said.
"Oh." She said not believing him but not pushing him. She turned down to her blank sheet of paper and finally began to outline a figure.
"Don't you have to be home soon?" Josh asked grabbing his jacket and car keys.
"No, my curfew isn't till 12:30, and besides as long as I'm over here my parents don't care. Why are you trying to get me out of here so fast?" She asked as he picked her up and carried her out of his room and down the hall to the stairs. What was she tonight a sack of potatoes?
"Because I'd love to stay and do the girl friend thing but I have to be some where. Now." He said checking his watch as he walked down the stairs.
"Honey where are you going?" Aunt Liz asked from the couch where she sat with her husband.
"To a friends, I have my pager and my cell phone. I might not be home tonight so don't freak out. Love you." He said in a rush as he put on his shoes and walked to the door.
"Night Aunt Liz, Uncle Max." Nicole said as she followed her cousin to his jeep.
"Where are we going?" Nicole asked as she jumped into the vehicle beside him.
"You're going home and I'm going out." He said shortly as he started the jeep up and backed out of the driveway at an alarming speed.
Nicole stared at the disappearing headlights of her cousin's automobile in confusion.
He was up to something; he was definitely up to something. * "Why does all this matter to you any way?" Thomas asked staring at Randy.
"He's just a jerk that needs to be put in his place. I want to help." He said shrugging his shoulders uncomfortably.
Thomas, Josh, and Eddie sat there and looked him over. He seemed sincere, but there had to be a reason.
"Why'd you come over here?" Eddie asked from his computer chair.
"Because of something Nicole said." He said looking nervously between the three guys.
"And what was that exactly?" Thomas asked suspiciously.
"That she'd given up on every jock, and I figured if she did then eventually so would all the other girls and that wouldn't exactly do great for my social calendar, you get my drift?" He replied shortly.
"Yeah. So you really think this'll work?" Josh asked the taller boy.
Randy just smiled as he thought of what was going to happen to that poor Allan Johnson. *
Nicole stared back and forth between the two guys on her right and left, Josh and Thomas.
"What are you doing?" She asked as they grabbed a hold of her and pulled her towards the football field.
"The boys are practicing we just wanted to see what our team looks like this year." Thomas offered lamely knowing she'd never buy it.
"What are you doing?" She asked with a little more anger.
"Just come on you won't be sorry.' Josh said as he walked towards the gate leading into the field.
She stared around the over crowded bleachers and side lines as her cousins' lead her to the dug out.
"Yeah, right like I believe that one. I know you're up to something, does this have something to do with." She was soon cut off by her cousin Eddie's voice booming through the speakers that were set up around the field.
"You have your pies ready?" Eddie asked looking over to the dug out that had a quite few cheerleaders and other girls in it each with a pie in hand.
"Here's yours." Josh said as he grabbed a chocolate pie and handed it to her before moving out of the way.
"Get ready ladies cause here he comes!" Eddie said, as Allan Johnson was lead out of the other dug out, and across the field so he was in throwing range, with his hands tied behind his back and only a diaper on.
Nicole laughed in spite herself they had even but a bonnet on his head, and a pacifier around his neck.
Nicole was doubling over when the first pie hit him square on the stomach.
The girls started to pelt them at him with a volatile force and then they dove for the extras on the table in front of them.
She too took aim and let it fly.
It landed right in the center of his face and crowd roared with laughter and applause.
She started laughing even harder as the captains of the boys foot ball team, Randy, made him turn around so he could be covered in the pastry dishes.
Who ever said revenge was sweet had no idea.
The End

"I thought I heard his engine outside." He offered lamely as he quickly typed a reply into the computer and exited it so she couldn't see what he had said.
"Oh." She said not believing him but not pushing him. She turned down to her blank sheet of paper and finally began to outline a figure.
"Don't you have to be home soon?" Josh asked grabbing his jacket and car keys.
"No, my curfew isn't till 12:30, and besides as long as I'm over here my parents don't care. Why are you trying to get me out of here so fast?" She asked as he picked her up and carried her out of his room and down the hall to the stairs. What was she tonight a sack of potatoes?
"Because I'd love to stay and do the girl friend thing but I have to be some where. Now." He said checking his watch as he walked down the stairs.
"Honey where are you going?" Aunt Liz asked from the couch where she sat with her husband.
"To a friends, I have my pager and my cell phone. I might not be home tonight so don't freak out. Love you." He said in a rush as he put on his shoes and walked to the door.
"Night Aunt Liz, Uncle Max." Nicole said as she followed her cousin to his jeep.
"Where are we going?" Nicole asked as she jumped into the vehicle beside him.
"You're going home and I'm going out." He said shortly as he started the jeep up and backed out of the driveway at an alarming speed.
Nicole stared at the disappearing headlights of her cousin's automobile in confusion.
He was up to something; he was definitely up to something. * "Why does all this matter to you any way?" Thomas asked staring at Randy.
"He's just a jerk that needs to be put in his place. I want to help." He said shrugging his shoulders uncomfortably.
Thomas, Josh, and Eddie sat there and looked him over. He seemed sincere, but there had to be a reason.
"Why'd you come over here?" Eddie asked from his computer chair.
"Because of something Nicole said." He said looking nervously between the three guys.
"And what was that exactly?" Thomas asked suspiciously.
"That she'd given up on every jock, and I figured if she did then eventually so would all the other girls and that wouldn't exactly do great for my social calendar, you get my drift?" He replied shortly.
"Yeah. So you really think this'll work?" Josh asked the taller boy.
Randy just smiled as he thought of what was going to happen to that poor Allan Johnson. *
Nicole stared back and forth between the two guys on her right and left, Josh and Thomas.
"What are you doing?" She asked as they grabbed a hold of her and pulled her towards the football field.
"The boys are practicing we just wanted to see what our team looks like this year." Thomas offered lamely knowing she'd never buy it.
"What are you doing?" She asked with a little more anger.
"Just come on you won't be sorry.' Josh said as he walked towards the gate leading into the field.
She stared around the over crowded bleachers and side lines as her cousins' lead her to the dug out.
"Yeah, right like I believe that one. I know you're up to something, does this have something to do with." She was soon cut off by her cousin Eddie's voice booming through the speakers that were set up around the field.
"You have your pies ready?" Eddie asked looking over to the dug out that had a quite few cheerleaders and other girls in it each with a pie in hand.
"Here's yours." Josh said as he grabbed a chocolate pie and handed it to her before moving out of the way.
"Get ready ladies cause here he comes!" Eddie said, as Allan Johnson was lead out of the other dug out, and across the field so he was in throwing range, with his hands tied behind his back and only a diaper on.
Nicole laughed in spite herself they had even but a bonnet on his head, and a pacifier around his neck.
Nicole was doubling over when the first pie hit him square on the stomach.
The girls started to pelt them at him with a volatile force and then they dove for the extras on the table in front of them.
She too took aim and let it fly.
It landed right in the center of his face and crowd roared with laughter and applause.
She started laughing even harder as the captains of the boys foot ball team, Randy, made him turn around so he could be covered in the pastry dishes.
Who ever said revenge was sweet had no idea.
The End
