Welcome back everyone. Enjoy and review.

A Little Laydown

"Lay down, Basil." Cherie kept trying to keep Basil down but she just couldn't do it no matter how hard she tried. He wasn't feeling well and should have been lying down yet he refused to.

"Only thing you haven't tried is pinning me down with you're body, Cherie." Teased Basil. "Not that you'd do that in public." Walking away from the tree and walking into the school, Basil went right for his locker. Cherie, of course, followed him. Once at his locker, Basil opened it and looked at the stuff in it. There was some books, a picture of him and Cherie, the clipboard holding the petition and… a ring? Yes, that was the ring that he had given to his girlfriends so other guys knew she was in a relationship with someone.

Once Cherie had caught up to him, Basil had closed his locker and had the petition in his right hand. "Basil, go find a place to lie down. I don't care where! Beneath a tree, on a table in the cafeteria, in the nurse's office, somewhere with your head on my lap just lie down! You are not feeling well and need a little laydown!"

"Why certainly, Cherie." Basil put his hand in his left pocket and pulled out the ring. "But first, this if for you." He handed it to Cherie and then began to walk past her until a little misunderstanding happened.

"Oh, Basil! Yes, I'll marry you!"

Basil stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Cherie. "Marry me? That is not a wedding ring! It's a ring to show you're in a relationship with me so no other guys try to make a move on you."

"What's that supposed to mean?" asked Cherie, not looking a little angry. "That I'm not good enough to marry?"

"We're not old enough to marry!" It was true. Marrying age was eighteen, Basil was fifteen and Cherie was fourteen.

"Old enough to 'touch!'" Cherie then walked closer to Basil and grabbed him by his shirt. "Don't you love me?"

"I love you with me heart!"

"What about your head? Don't you love me with your head too? Is there another girl that you love with your head?"

"What? Cherie!' It was at that moment that Cherie stormed off. Still with the ring no less!
