When we got to the park, we all hopped out of the vehicle, each going are own ways. Nico and Grady went to find their sausage, Zora went who knows where, and Chad and I headed for a quiet bench under an old oak tree.
"So, does Zora ever scare you?" he asked.
I laughed. "All of the time! But that's just what she does I guess."
"Isn't it so beautiful out tonight?"
"Um, yeah! It is kind of clear and warming," I stated, sounding a little too much like a person from a soap opera.
"Almost as beautiful as you," he said, smiling at me.
And what am I supposed to say to that? Thank you Chad, my dear. You're looking very dapper yourself! Wow, how stupid did that sound? I decided not to say anything...just smile.
He started to move closer to my lips. Oh gosh...why? I don't want to kiss him here! Or now, for that matter!
I moved back an inch as he moved closer an inch. And each time he moved closer, I moved away. All of a sudden, we both stood up without wanting to and started to do the chicken dance. The chicken dance! Why were we doing this?
"What the-" Chad said.
"Look up in the tree," I insisted.
"Zora," we both sighed.
"Zora, what are you doing?" I asked.
"Testing out my new invention. It's called Zora Says. It's kinda like Simon Says, only better! Cool, huh?" she questioned.
"Not really. Could you stop us?" Chad exclaimed.
"This is too much fun! I can't stop yet!" she yelled. Evil little girl.
"Your friends are horrible!" Chad shouted.
"Well, not all of them. Just Zora...and Tawni," I explained.
Suddenly, we switched from the chicken dance to the cupid shuffle. How much longer is this going to go on?
"Zora?"
"Yeah Sonny?"
"Could you come down from there for a second?" I asked, knowing she can never get down from things more than five feet off of the ground.
"Sure! Wait... no...I can't," she said. Her shoulders slumped down and she looked sad.
"Aren't you happy you made us mad now?" I questioned with sarcasm.
"I'm sorry, I'll never test something on either of you again. Can you get me down from here?"
We glanced at eachother and agreed with a nod.
Hours After Enjoying the Fun...
"I had a great time, Sonny. I hope we can do this again," Chad stated as we stood outside my dressing room door.
"Go to a Polka festival?" I asked.
"No, just hang out. Have fun...ya know."
"Oh, right. Yeah, sounds great!" I said.
Once again he leaned in for a kiss. But this time I let him.
It felt so good. Soft, warm, and very romantic.
In the middle of this awesome kiss, we heard Tawni clearing her throat loudly. We stopped and stared at her. She had the look of my mother the night I got home at ten o' clock instead of nine. Angry and very upset.
"I'll see you tomorrow Chad," I said, hoping he would get the hint to leave. Thankfully, he did.
"Right, see ya." He turned and left with a confused look glazed over his face.
