Chapter 9- Interesting Conversation
Parker walked into school on Friday and saw Candi talking to Aderyn while she was putting her books into her locker. Parker rolled his head back and closed his eyes for a few seconds and then made his way over to them.
Just as he got there he saw Aderyn smile at Candi and say, "Well you never cared about my well being before so why start now?" She raised an eyebrow and then turned to Parker. "Hey, I am really excited about tomorrow." And gave him a hug.
Parker kept his arm around Aderyns' waist, "Yeah it will be fun." Candi glared at them and then walked away. "So, what did she say to you?" He asked casually.
"That all you want is to have sex with me, and that, well that you would try to make me if I said 'no.'" She said this all as if it were nothing.
Parkers eyes went big, "WHAT?!"
She nodded and pulled out a bottle of water and took a drink.
"Wow, that is no true at all, it was-" Parker started to say but she stopped him.
"I know. Well I know what Ema and Becca told me, they told me that you told Trey and Brett that she had tried to get you to have sex with her and you said no, and Trey was there when they told me. Guys won't tell their friends that they DON'T have sex when they do."
"I just want to let you know that I never tried to have sex with her and I would not force anyone to."
"You don't have to convince me, I already know. Like I said there would be no reason for Trey, Becca and Ema to lie to me."
"You sure, I don't really know how I could convince you if you thought it was true, but I just want to make sure."
"Yeah. I know that it is true, other than the fact that they told me, you haven't tried to kiss me yet, and we have hung out a few times after school for a little while, you walked me home yesterday and you didn't even try. Every other guy that has asked me out has tried to kiss me, I didn't even know some of their names."
"I did want to kiss you last night. Hell I wanted to kiss you about 3 months ago."
"Why didn't you?"
"Well, I really like you and I don't want to mess this up by trying something to soon." She smiled at him. They were slowly moving toward each other. "Are you saying that you wanted me to kiss you?"
"Well yeah kindda." They were about to kiss when Mr. Wilson cleared his throat and they jump apart.
"Hey Mr. Wilson," Parker said.
"Well, well, well, it seems that the two of you are having trouble paying attention in the hallways as well as in the class room. The bell rang 5 minutes ago." Mr. Wilson laughed.
Parker looked at Aderyn and smiled. "Sorry, I'll see you in chem. then." Parker turned and walked to math.
"Nice of you to join us Parker," Mr. McDaniel said as he walked in.
"Yeah sorry about that McD had to deal with the ramblings of a psycho ex." He said with a smile. McD just laughed and kept going on with what he was talking about before Parker came in. Parker sat down next to Trey, who was trying hard not to laugh out loud about the psycho ex comment.
Trey mouthed, "What did she do?" Parker just looked at him and shook his head.
"I'll tell you after class." He mouthed back. "Thank you by the way." Trey just looked at him confused, then turned back to listen to McD.
When McD finished class early, like always, Parkers turned to Trey and Ema and whispered, "Candi told Aderyn that all I wanted was sex. That if she said no that I would force her to."
"That bitch!" Ema made to move to say something to Candi, but Trey stopped her.
"Then why are you smiling?"
"A. You guys talked to her, told her that Candi was the one who kept trying. B. I told her that Candi would try something and C. She already knew that it was a lie, I hadn't tried to kiss her yet, so I am not the kind of guy that would try that."
"Hold on you walked her home last night, and you didn't try to kiss her?" Ema said with a smile on her face.
"No, I just don't want this to get messed up, if to much happens to soon then this could go bad, think about Candi, she made out with me like two weeks before we started going out."
"Yeah but there are about 37 different things about Aderyn. But the major difference, all of your friends like her! Name one person who admits liking her after you guys broke up. Everyone I told said 'Thank God.'" Trey laughed.
"Yeah I guess you are right. I am way happier now than I ever was when I was with Candi."
"You look it to babe." Ema said sweetly and smiled.
They all laughed, they spend the rest of the class talking about Six Flags. They decided that they would meet for breakfast at 9 and then go from there.
They are all in Booth's SUV after breakfast at the diner. "Okay so I have to lay down ground rules." He picked up his phone and dialed Booth. "Okay dad I am going over the rules. Number 1. Do not wreck the FBI issued SUV, otherwise I will be dead. Number 2. No messing around, we must act like the adults that we are. Number 3. There will be no sex in the FBI issued SUV, otherwise everyone in this car will be dead. Last number 4. Be smart. Okay so I have gone over the rules, I will call you once I have dropped everyone off… Okay bye." He hung up the phone and glanced into his blind spot before changing lanes. "Sorry about that, my dad is crazy."
"Is your dad at home?" Brett asked from the very back seat.
"No he and Tempe are working on a case and they want to get it done."
"How did he get to work then?"
"Wow, who only has one car moron." Trey said to Brett. "Tempe drove them, well they took her car anyway."
They pulled into the parking lot of Six Flags and headed toward the gate.
"This is the first time I have been here this season, so I have to get my pass still." Parker said to the group.
"Do you always have a season pass?" Aderyn asked.
"No, I got it for Christmas from Ange and Hodgins. In all reality they got it for me so I could take their kids."
"Hey, Luke, Aden and Skyler are pretty cool!" Becca said.
"I have no problem with them, and I am going to have to agree, but I don't want to spend all day with them at a theme park! I'll be right back guys, let me go get my pass." Parker walked off toward the booth.
"I have to pee." Ema declared and grabbed Becca and Aderyn's hand and walked off toward the restrooms.
"Women," Trey muttered. Parker walked back over to Trey and Brett.
"Where did they go? I was gone for like 5 minutes!" Parker asked.
"Bathroom." Trey and Brett said together. Just then the girls walked out of the bathroom laughing.
"Okay lets go!" Aderyn said as she grabbed Parkers hand. They all walked into the park and got their picture taken at the entrance.
