I, unfortunately, do not own The Outsiders. Never have, never will. But I do own many pictures of Matt Dillon. :-D

On with the story...

Chapter 16

Halley's POV

I woke up the next morning and Dallas was already awake. "Hey beautiful," he said and kissed me on top of the head.

"Hey cowboy," I said.

"How you feelin'?" he asked.

"Tired."

"Yeah, me too. You sure gave me a work out," he said and I laughed.

"What time is it?"

"11:00."

"Really? I've been sleeping that long?"

"Yup."

I was really surprised by that. I never sleep real long. Then I remembered my family and the gang. "Oh my god. Did anyone come home?"

"Yeah, Arya came in this morning and I told her you were still sleeping. And Two-Bit and Steve came by and started yelling. So I told them that if they didn't shut up I'd kill 'em. Two-Bit must've thought I was serious because he shut up. Then they left."

"Oh great. Well I'd better go take a shower and get dressed."

"Well I guess I'm gonna head over to the Curtis's since I gotta shower too," he said getting up.

"Or you could just join me," I said.

"Really?" he asked with a mischievous grin on his face.

"Come on," I said and walked into the bathroom. I undressed, turned on the shower, climbed in, and shortly after he was in there with me.

We kissed for awhile but then I pushed him away so I could finish showering. When I was done, I got out, grabbed a towel, and left Dally in the shower by himself.

A few minutes later, he walked back into my room, wrapped in a towel. He came over to where I was doing my make-up and started kissing my neck.

"Dally, stop it," I said giggling, "We can't do this again."

"Fine. I'll stop for now."

"Thank you. Now go put some clothes on."

"If I have to…"

"You do, so go."

We both got dressed and then I walked him to the door to say goodbye. "Good bye. I'll see you later," I said and kissed him softly on the lips.

"Yeah, bye," he said and kissed me again. We kissed about five more times before he finally left.

As soon as Dallas was gone, Two-Bit burst through the door. "Halley gally, you home?" he yelled.

"Yes I am and you don't have to yell," I said, walking into the living room.

"How was your night?" he asked with a smirk on his face.

"Fine," I replied.

"Did you do anything or anyone?"

"What?" I asked, surprised.

"I know Dallas stayed the night so don't play dumb."

"So what if he did. That doesn't mean we did anything."

"Yeah but I know you and from what I've heard about Dallas, I'm sure you two did something."

"Yeah, okay Two-Bit," I said sarcastically.

"Well I'm sure everyone else will believe me when I tell them. And this time it will be true."

I tensed up. "Two-Bit Matthews, if you tell anyone, I'll kill you. Especially Arya and Soda."

"Don't worry, I won't tell," he said and went into the kitchen for a beer.

I went outside and sat on the porch steps. "Halley!" I looked up and saw Hannah coming towards the house. "Hey Hannah."

"Guess what," she said.

"What?"

"Johnny kissed me! On the lips!"

"Oh my god. When?" I was just as excited as she was.

"Last night, after you and Dallas left. We were looking up at the stars, then we both looked at each other and he kissed me! It was so romantic."

"Yeah, it sounds it."

"So what did you and Dallas do after you left us?"

I was wondering if I should tell her what happened between me and Dallas. It's not like she'd tell anyone. If it was Aubree, it'd be a different story. I came to the conclusion that I wouldn't tell her exactly what happened.

"We came here, hung out, and kissed and stuff."

"Oh, sounds fun."

"Oh, it was."

After that, we went inside the house and went into Hannah's room, because mine was still messy from the night before, and talked about her and Johnny's date.

Dally's POV

After I left Halley's, I started walking over to Buck's. "Hey Dal. Man, wait up." I looked over my shoulder and saw Johnny running towards me. I stopped and waited for him to catch up.

"Hey Johnnycakes. What's up man?"

"I kissed her, man, I kissed her!"

"Hannah? You kissed Hannah?"

"Yeah man, who else?"

"That's cool Johnny. When'd you do that?"

"After you and Halley left us in the park. It was tuff, man. We were sitting on the bench, looking at the sky. Then we looked at each other and I kissed her."

"That's real tuff Johnny."

"Yeah," he paused. "So where did you and Halley go?"

"Back to her house," I said, hoping I wouldn't have to say anymore.

"Oh," he said. I'm assuming he knew what I meant because his eyes got big.

We walked in silence the rest of the way to Buck's. When we got there, I went inside and he said something about having to meet Pony somewhere, so he continued walking.
