Pfft

Pfft. Well, I'm back. I know this is short, but get over it. And I'd like you to know, Evelyn and Soda are NOT . They're merely making out. So don't get excited. They're both still virgins. xD

I smiled, happily cleaning the front desk of the DX with a worn down sponge. My other favorite time of day, I thought. Closing time!

I watched outside the store's door, as Soda wiped the newly formed beads of sweat off his forehead. Then he stripped himself of his greasy work shirt and ran his fingers through his dark curly locks. I sighed and saw his fan girls a few feet away from the gas pump he was at. That is mine, I thought again. And forever mine. He grinned at me and came through the door.

He walked up to the front counter, and cleared his throat.

"Excuse me, ma'am", he said in a mocking sly tone. "I've had something stolen from me."

The girls had moved to the window, where they smushed their ears and faces. I gave them the coldest stare I could force out, and smiled back at the shirtless Adonis in front of me.

"Okay", I replied politely. "Did you look in the lost and found?"

He nodded. "It's not there. I believe you have it, miss."

I crossed my arms. "And what would I take from a handsome man like yourself?"

He leaned over the counter. "My heart", he whispered.

I giggled. "Yes, I do have it, but not on me." I jumped over the counter, Soda catching me around the waist. "It's back here."

I led him to the rear of the store, where there was a single rusted door with a sign that read Employees Only. I forced it open, and sat on the timeworn recliner that was isolated against the back wall. Soda followed behind, and stood over me. He leaned down and moved his hands up my thighs.

"You've been very naughty, miss" He seductively whispered in my ear.

Pleasurable chills ran up my spine, and forced a shade of red across my face.

"What was my crime this time, sir?"

His hands moved further until they disappeared behind my skirt. "You failed to inform me about your birthday tomorrow"

I didn't know if I should frown or smile. It's so not fair! I haven't been very good at keeping secrets lately. It's not like I broadcast them. Soda always finds a way to get them out of me. His first technique is seduction. Of course, I'd always spill. I couldn't resist him even if I wanted to. The other, is snooping. He always has some kind of magical source to find out all the things I don't tell him.

I stuck my lower lip out. "I could've swore I hid my journal in a very safe place this time."

He chuckled. "Since when is your underwear drawer safe?"

"Since I thought you were over the wearing-underwear-on-your-head phase".

He poked my nose with his index. "You thought wrong." I twirled one of his curls around my finger.

"What's my punishment for today?"

"Well" He wrapped my leg around him, and his lips crushed against mine. I kissed back, forcefully. He ran his tongue gently across my lower lip, and I gladly gave him entrance (In the mouth, you s). I moaned, knotting my fingers in his hair.

"Ew!" A voice came from the door. We pulled away from each other, gasping for air. Standing there was Steve, Pony, and Two-Bit. I could feel the heat rising in my face again. Pony looked like he was going to hurl, while Steve and Two-Bit were laughing like Hyenas.

"Whatever happened to knocking?" Soda replied.

"We did, about TEN TIMES!" Pony shouted.

Two-Bit put his hand on my shoulder. You know, you could've heard well if you weren't making so much noise", he smirked. "He's not that good."

I cocked an eyebrow. "And you're any better? I think there's a reason why you're left by yourself in a cold shower every night."

He grinned. "You have me mistaken. Any of the guys would tell you that the one in the bathroom all the time is Soda." Steve gave Two-Bit a high five. I looked over at Soda, who was even redder than me at that point. Before I could argue, Soda hugged me from behind.

"Since you all know it's my birthday tomorrow", I looked up at Soda. "Where's my present?"

"Sorry, you don't get it until the day of your birthday. He wrapped his arms tighter around me. He put his lips to my ear, "I know you'll like it."

I shivered, and glared at Two-Bit. "What'd you get me?"

He shrugged. "My undying brotherly love?"

"Try again"

"Fine, if you really want me to ruin your surprise", he said sarcastically." "I got you into Tim Shepard's for tonight."

I laughed. "What the hell makes you think I want in there?"

Two-Bit scratched his head. "I thought you might want your own birthday party. But if you don't-"

I ran and knocked him off balance with my hug. "THANK YOU SO MUCH!" I squealed.

"Don't thank me, thank Soda. It was his idea."

I ran back to Soda, and pecked him on the lips. "Thanks."

The whole time, Ponyboy just stared at the ceiling, in that same spot, rolling his eyes. This'll be interesting, I thought.
