I saw Darry count the money across the table. It was one hundered and thirty five dollars exactly. He licked his lips and smiled at Soda.
"How'd ya get this anyway Soda?" He asked.
"I told ya not ta ask Darry." He asked. That was our deal, to not tell Darry.
"That's what ya always say." He ignored it anyway."This'll get us through our bills Soda." He then got up to leave.
Soda looked at me.
"What where you doing with Shepard?" He put his hands on the table.
"H-he drove me home." I told him.
"He saw your show didn't he?" Soda asked me. I looked down then after a while I nodded. He looke at me with so much afftection. I didn't diserve it.
"Oh baby I'm did he do to you?" Is that what he was worried about.
"He didn't do nothin' Soda." It was the truth too.
"Did he touch ya? Anything?" I looked away again.
"He put his hand on my thigh and for driving me home he wanted me to givehimakiss." I smushed the words together.
"Huh?"
"H-he wanted me,"I sighed."to give him a.. kiss."
"That's okay baby.I still care for ya." He picked me up and carried me to the room. Steve had came in the house, and he saw.
"Aw carryin' the cry baby to sleep?" He asked.
"Shut up. Cause you ain't perfect either. You got a big ass nose fucker." I yelled at him.
"You fuckin' damn smartass." He yelled back. Soda sighed and gave Steve a look.
"I'll come back after I put Pony to sleep." He told him. Steve gave me that look that he got Soda to himself.
"No please stay with me Soda." I really did want him with me. To confort me, to make me feel better. The fact that he would be gone made me get tears in my eyes. They rolled down softly.
"Alright baby." What I didn't know was that Soda gave Steve a look. He was going back to him.
We layed down. I cried because of all this confusing things happening in my life. It confused and hurt my senses.
He wrapped his arms around me. I felt warm being held.
The confusion would fade. Tim will lose interest. I'll stop doing my job. Darry would never find out. I just had to wait and see.
