"OUU WEE who woulda thunk that chambers could snag a pretty girl!" Teddy exclaimed. Chris Glared at his friend and tightened his hold around my shoulders.
"Shut it Teddy." Chris said, but if you've met Teddy he never shuts it.
We hadn't even planned to see him tonight, he was just there at the take out with some other people but the moment he saw Gordie, Chris and I sit down With Vern and his girlfriend, Marcie,(Can't remember if they said her name or not in the movie) he ran over.
He had shoved his head between us so Chris had his arm across Teddy's neck.
"Teddy leave them alone!" Gordie laughed not being very convincing as Teddy stood up on the table.
"Ladies and Gentlemen may I have your attention please?!" Teddy called across the crowd.
"Teddy stop!" I begged tugging on his pant leg to get him to sit down.
"Oh look at that watch it chambers looks like your girl is trying to get more guys then just you to pull their pants down." He smirked.
I quickly pulled my hand away and tried not to blush or scowl at him. Chris laughed and kissed my cheek quickly.
"Careful Babe, don't pull too hard Teddy doesn't wear a belt." he whispered in my ear.
"Stop encouraging him!" I snapped hitting chris on the arm.
"He can't hear me its not encouraging." he laughed gesturing to Teddy.
"HEY QUIET!" Teddy yelled and immediately the whole room hushed into silence. "Ladies and Gentlemen, View kids.. . . the impossible has been accomplished. Christopher Chambers has landed himself a girl!" He yelled and suprisingly the crowd clapped and gave a few cheers. I looked around wide eye'd the view kids rolled their eyes and told Teddy to sit down which he replied with a very assertive hand gesture.
Teddy snatched my arm and pulled me up onto the table with him.
"What the hell are-"
"I mean look at this girl, Ain't she a beauty?" he called the cheers doubled. "Who would have thought a chambers could land someone like this eh?"
I crossed my arms and glared at Teddy, he looked at me and smirked.
"Might have some temper issues but hey we all know how fun it is to break a wild stallion am I right boys?" I shoved Teddy and he stumbled off the table and onto the floor. "You're just proving my point Winston!" Teddy said as he pulled himself up off the floor.
I jumped off the table and sat back down next to Chris who took my hand in his and stroked the back of my hand with his thumb.
"So you never told us, how did you two meet?" Marcie asked.
"Well actually-" I went to tell her that the guys already knew but she interrupted me.
"I just love romance, and Vern will never tell me anything! He just kepps his mouth shut on everything. Oh vern I almos forgot that my mom wants you to come to dinner tomorrow. Ugh food I'm so hungry want to go get something now? Anna you just rmemeber that story I'll be back in a moment." she said getting up and pulling Vern with her.
"Vern doesn't tell her or he can't get a word in?" I asked Chris laughed.
"Be nice, she means well."
'I know, she's sweet and all just man does she ever take a breath?"
"Her birthday is coming up, told Verno to get a zipper for her mouth." Teddy said sliding into his seat.
"You didn't" Chris said.
"Oh chris, you should know that I would."
"Not like Vern can argue with him, he knows she talks a lot." Gordie told us as he ran a finger around the rim of his glass.
"Do you think vern would ever break up with her?" I wondered aloud.
'NO!" all three of the chorused together.
"Darling you need to know something about Verno, when it comes to girls he doesn't do anything to upset them" Teddy said.
"What if she-"
"Never!" Gordie said.
"But what if-"
"Ever." Chris finished
I nodded and then Marcie and Vern came back sitting down. She handed me a glass of water.
"Oh thanks but you didn't have to-'
"No it's fine, I know how tight money can be but I'm working at this little store, oh we should go shopping one time. ." she continued to ramble and Chris leaned in to whisper in my ear.
"Yeah money can be tight." he joked.
"Shut up." I hissed back he grinned and placed a quick kiss on my neck and pulled away. Chris loved to remind me of the social status, he found it funny that I still wanted to be in the same boat they were all in. "Pathetic and penniless" as he had put it before.
"So how did you two meet?" Marcie asked giving a bright smiled.
Marcie was pretty she had light brown hair a shade dark enough not to be considered blonde, she was short her face clean of makeup, she wasn't big but she wasn't small either her cheeks rosey and her mouth wide with a bright happy smile painted on all the time. Her eyes were stunning and bright sky blue that looked at vern like he was the answer to her prayers.
"We actually met at a poker table." Chris said.
"Awe and you helped her with her hand?" she asked clasping her hands together.
"Actually no, I was too busy trying to keep her from cleaning me out." Marcies eyes widened.
"You were gambling?" she asked incredulously, I nodded and took a sip from the water.
"We made a bet, that if I won I'd take her out and I happened to win." Chris finished keeping the explanation short.
"Aw so how was the date!" she asked her eyes sparkling, she leaned in slightly completely interested.
"Yeah Anna how was the date?" Teddy asked stifling a laugh.
"It was. . .memorable." I said, I knew that a girl like Marcie wouldn't take kindly to the truth about what happened, she would feel sick at the mention of blood or running from the cops.
"did he kiss you?" she asked.
"No." Gordie answered for us.
"Oh a gentlemen, you know it took Verno forever to kiss me!" Vern put his head down in embarrassment and she continued to go on about their first date and then the second.
"Chris I thought you said she doesn't say much." I whispered to him.
"She doesn't. . .when you first meet her."
"Then why is she so loud around me?"
'Maybe because you're a girl? When I met her, saying hello was barely audible. I think she's more comfortable with a girl around." he said. Great so now this never ending talking was my fault.
"Do you want to leave?" I heard him asking. I nodded and we stood up. Chris lead me to his truck and I jumped into the passangers side he in the drivers side.
"Where we going?" I asked after a few moments of driving. "I got to be home before my dad." I reminded him.
"We're not going far I promise."
"Whoa Chris slow down!" I said suddenly noticing the speed he was driving I couldn't make out any shapes just colours as we flew down the street.
"Can't we'll miss it." he said.
"Miss what?"
"Something."
"Tell me damn it."
"Well when you ask like that. .. no." he smirked. I glared at him but let it rest for the time being.
We stopped outside the forest, I jumped out without another word and followed him in through the forest.
"If your idea of fun is getting eaten by bugs then I am seriously regretting kissing you Chambers." I said as I smacked another mosquito off my arm.
"i didn't know you complained this much, I'm beginning to regret it too." he smirked.
"Bullshit! You know I complain this much!" I shot back then realized what I had said and back tracked. "I do not complain!" I snapped and he let out a loud laugh.
"yeah you do!" he said turning around to look at me.
"We both get beat and I complain a lot less then you!"
"Hey I never noticed, how did you get that horrible scar on your- oh wait its your mouth." he smirked. I smacked him upside the head and scowled at him. How do you argue with this thing? "Awh did I step on your poor bitchy ego?" he asked talking to me like you would talk to a two year old.
"I didn't hear you complain about my mouth when I kissed yah."
"That you didn't." he smirked tugging on my hand and placing his lips on mine, melting my anger away. "Now come on its almost time." he said pulling me out from the mass of trees and onto gravel.
There was a long clearing with tracks smack in the middle.
"Train tracks?"
"Yep." Chris smiled taking a seat on them and patting the spot next to them. I gave him an odd look but sat next to him.
"What are we doing?' I asked.
"having fun."
"This is fun?"
"You like a rush right?" I was about to answer but the sharp shrill whistle came cut through the air. "Ah here it comes now." he smiled brightly standing up.
"Huh?" he reached down and helped me stand up beside him.
"We're gonna dodge it."
"What?!" I demanded shocked was he insane? "Sorry Chris but I want to live till twenty minutes from now."
"How about a bet then?" he asked raising his eyebrow.
"What?"
"Who ever stands here the longest gets a kiss?" he asked wiggling his eyebrows.
"Try again."
"Okay, you win and I'll let you go to the pub again. .. alone so you can gamble." My eyes lit up, Chris hadn't let me go alone since he met me. And I was really itching to get my gambling mojo back and Chris hanging around was hard to do, they didn't take me seriously.
"And if you win?" I asked. He smirked and shrugged.
"I'll think of something creative."
"I'm sure you will." I said putting my hand into his and shook it.
Chris and I stood there as the train neared, him whispering to me about how I can back out at any moment if I was too scared. I rolled my eyes and clenched my fists. It was on.
The train came dangerously closer, I felt the ground shaking under my feet and I seemed to zone out as the train came closer and closer was it me or was it speeding up?
I lost all my senses except my sight, the train was all I saw nothin mattered anymore. Just the train that I knew was shrieking, I could vaguely hear my name being called out but I couldn't move. I was transfixed.
Then I was knocked to the ground. My eyes blinking in shock.
"I didn't mean stand there till it ran you over." Chris breathed deeply from on top of me. I looked behind him to see the train zooming past us. "Anna? Anna? Anna! Look at me, are you okay?" he asked his hand smoothing back my hair as I moved my eyes to look at his concerned eyes.
"I just couldn't move." I breathed.
"Yeah I could tell, you didn't hear me yelling at you to move?" he asked. I shook my head.
"Well don't do that again my god anna you almost got killed I haven't been that scared in a long time, I didn't think you'd stand there that long you were like teddy out there, no mind no sense I mean-"
"Shhh!" I said covering his mouth with my hand.
"Chris look at me, I'm fine aren't I?" I asked. He sighed and nodded, so I removed my hand.
"Just please, don't do that again, don't check out like that."
"hey you bet me!" I reminded him sitting up with him. "Wait, I won didn't I?" I asked.
Chris leaned into me and grazed his lips over my own sending a delicious shiver down my spine, running his lips across my cheek and to my ear his hot break waking up every nerve and joint in my body.
"Yeah I guess you did."
Kinda lame huh?
