After FP walked me home, he kissed me goodbye, as did Hot Dog. The moment I stepped foot into the trailer I could not contain the overwhelming excitement that rushed through me.
"FP Jones had kissed me. FP Jones has also said he cared about me." I said out loud to the bathroom mirror. It was Saturday morning, dad left early this morning to help prepare for tonight, so it was just me home. It was great because I needed the space and breathing room to figure out what the hell this means.
"FP JONES kissed ME." I said again to my reflection. I was still wrapped in a towel and my hair was still dripping wet from my shower. I looked different today, Happy. I stood there for a few more moments before continuing my morning routine. Brushing my teeth, drying and then curling my blond hair. I followed that with light eye makeup, and a soft pink lip. I walked back into my bedroom and changed into pair of high waisted black jeans, a grey ripped up t-shirt, and to finish it all off my serpent jacket. When I finished getting ready I grabbed my bag, and a black pair of sunglasses that I slip on top of my head as I headed for the front door. I stopped when my hand touched the handle, took a deep breath, and opened the door. And there he was in all his glory. Right on time.
"Morning Alliecat, ready?" FP asked almost nervously. It was our Saturday morning tradition, usually our dads are with us though, we all have breakfast at Pop's Chock'lit Shoppe.
"Ready as I'll ever be." I said with a smile, shutting my front door behind me and checking to make sure it was locked up safely. I followed him down the front steps and to the already running pick up truck that his Dad owned. He opened the passenger door and waiting until I climbed in to shut it. What the hell? I thought. I watched him as he walked around the truck and got in too. We sat there for a moment before looking over at each other. I was the first one to break,it was just too hard to hold back the laugh.
"What's so funny?" FP asked chuckling. I only laughed louder, unable to answer him. "I said what's so funny, huh?" He asked again turning in his seat and shoving his hands on either side my waist. Tickling me until I'm screaming.
"Q-QUIT IT FP!" I tried to gasp out, he only laughed more but eventually pulled away. I was left gasping and wiping away the tears that managed to pool in the corners of my eyes. "Jeez I thought I was about to go into cardiac arrest!" I said, finally calm.
He laughed. "Let's get going then, I can already smell the bacon." He pulled down the shifter and pulled out of my driveway, I fiddled with the radio as we pulled out of the trailer park. The song 'Give it away' by the Red Hot Chili Peppers started playing on the radio, I turned up the volume a couple of notches. We listened to the music in silence until we reached the Diner. When FP parked the truck, I didn't bother waiting for him to get out, I was so hungry that I was getting impatient.
We entered the diner as the bell chimed. It wasn't overly busy, but definitely not empty. We helped ourselves to an empty booth by the window when the waitress walked over. "Just the two of you today? Where's your messy Father today, Alice?" She asked.
"Big Serpent festivities going on today so they're getting ready." I answered Sheila. She's been working here since I could walk and knew my father for years before that.
"Oh well at least I don't have to clean up after him today. Just your usuals then, honey?" She asked
"Yes please!" FP and I said together. When she walked away I looked over to FP with a smile. As we waited for our meals we built forts out of the sugar packets, and I convinced FP to drink one of the coffee creamers on the table. He was gagging a little bit when Sheila came back, setting our food down.
"FP how many times are you going to drink them damn creamers boy? Your father used to have to ripped them out of your hands as a kid." Sheila said taking the bowl of creamers off the table and shaking her head as she walked away from us. I bursted out laughing at FP's embarrassed face.
"Oh shut it Allie, you're the one who always got stuck in the toilet when we were little, and your dad had to go into the ladies room, crawl under the stall to get you out." He barked. I stopped laughing immediately.
"Would you look at this food?" I said, steering the conversation away from the last topic, rubbing my neck as I looked at the plates. Crispy bacon, fluffy yellow eggs, homemade hash browns, and toast. Delicious.
"Yeah that's what I thought Smith." FP said as he unraveled his utensils with a smug look on his face. We laughed and talked throughout our meal, it was just natural with FP, I could just be myself with him, it was really nice. When we were finished FP paid the bill, and I covered the tip, which I had to fight with FP to allow me to do so. He's so old fashioned it was annoying.
On our way back to the trailer park we joked about things that happened throughout the school year, and past years as well. When FP pulled up to my place I was a little sad that it was ended.
"I had a lot of fun FP, Thanks for breakfast." I said as I opened the door. Smiling at him. "I'll see you tonight? Also can you give me a ride to the Wyrm?"
"I guess I can do that, but I'm charging you next time if you keep bumming rides." He teased. I only rolled my eyes before attempting to get out of the Truck. "Alliecat?" Came FP's voice. As I turned around, I felt his warm hand slip into my hair, pulling my face close to his. Our foreheads rested against each other for a second, before FP closed the space between them. This kiss was no longer than fifteen seconds, but it felt like hours to me, and I never wanted it to end. But sadly it did.
"I'll pick you up at 9:30?" He said with the wonderful smirk.
"And not a minute later."
