Chapter 5
Sodapop's POV
-Sodaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Our plan's working out well!-
I'm in my room, and Pony comes in with a big smile on his face.
Last night he watched Fanny and Darry, hiding behind the sitting room's door, but nothing happened. But now, something has just happened. Did they kiss?
Our plan was to leave Fanny and Darry alone while watching TV. We told the gang too, that's why they didn't come here last night and tonight.
That worked out well.
-And so what are they doing?-
-They're french-kissing on the sofa!-
Don't speak out loud, Darry could hear you!-
Darry's actually the only one who ignores our plan.
The reason why we want him to have a relationship with Fanny is because we all like her. We do, really. She would be great for our poor hard-working big brother. We love her like a sister even if we haven't known her for a long time.
The gang likes her a lot too. They saw her only 2 or 3 times. Steve tried to flirt with her, but she told him to go away because "even if you're cute, you're too young."
She's 21 and Darry's 20, so Darry's the only one who is old enough to date her.
Francesca's POV
Ok, this is just a dream. You're sleeping in Curtis parents' bedroom, and you're going to wake up in 3, 2, 1...
I'm awake. This is not a dream. I've just kissed Darry. He's now looking at me with a shocked expression on his face. He can't speak. I'm the one who starts talking.
-Dar, I've liked you ever since I came here. You're handsome and smart, and it's not everyday you meet guys who have both qualities. , listen, I have no time for a girlfr... WHAT THE HELL AM I SAYING!-
He kisses me again.
-Fanny, this was the best kiss I've ever had.-
And he kisses me again.
-Why don't we just try? I know you're very busy and all... it's not going to end up well.- I say.-
Fanny, don't worry...- he replies.
- I like you too, and I hadn't kissed a girl for 2 long years! Hahahah I'm so pathetic!- He starts laughing.
-Me too... and I had only a boyfriend when I was 17/18. He wasn't bad... we were too different. I'm a woman who wants to study, get a salary, not to be completely reliant on a man. He wanted to date a "traditional" girl, someone who wants to marry and have children at 18! I'm not saying he was selfish... he's always been good to me even after we broke up... I'm not his type.
-You know what? I like women like you. In a few years there will be more girls like you. I'm not saying so because I want a woman to do all the work, but if more women had well-paid jobs families would all be better.-
-I completely agree with you... amore. It means love/honey in my language.-
-God, your language is just so sweet!-
Cute... he says so because he's never seen an angry Italian fisher swearing!
Anyway, we keep on kissing each other.
