P.O.V. Switch: Bold

Chapter 6: Away

Johnny 's P.O.V.

The four of us sat inside the car outside of Ponyboy's home eating ice-cream. I had what Dally said to me on my mind to the point I wasn't even aware how fast I finished mine. He offered to get me another one, but I wasn't even in the mood for one. I wasn't hungry at all in truth. I was too nervous to be hungry and everyone was too busy talking to one another to notice this. "Shoot! It's too hot to be in this car. I'm goin in to watch Mickey Mouse." Two-bit said as he opened the car door and made his way towards the house.

It was funny how Two-bit acted like it was his house at times, but that was how almost everyone treated it. The Curtis home was open to everyone and that was why they never bother to lock their doors. Even though people are too scared to rob the place because of Darry, I still got spooked sleeping in that living-room knowing that their door isn't locked.

The car kinda turned silent once Two-bit left. He was mostly the loud-mouth in the group and me and Pony were always quiet, so it made sense for it to be quiet, but boy did I want Ponyboy to leave. He's my friend and all, but I actually wanted to be alone with Dally. That's all I wanted to do since last night.

"A-Aren't you going to make sure Two-bit doesn't make a mess in your house?" I nervously asked the kid as I began to fidget my fingers. He only stared at me and shook his head suspiciously.

"No. I'm fine hanging with you guys. Besides, Darry should be back home any minute to yell at him for me-" He explained till Dally turned in his seat to stare at him and say, "Beat it, Ponyboy. Me and Johnny are gonna hang out someplace else. He'll be back later." and with that he went in his pocket and handed the boy a pack of cigarettes. Ponyboy didn't question him once he got a pack of cigarettes, but maybe, and mostly it was because no one ever questioned Dally. If you questioned him, he'll answer with his fists.

"I'll see yah later, Johnny. Thanks for the cancer-sticks, Dallas." He lastly said as he hopped out the car and closed the door behind him, running towards his house.

Now it's just me and him.

Not a single word was exchanged once he turned the car back on and began driving. Each second that passed with the car moving had caused me to grow more and more nervous. So nervous that even being chased down the street by Socs wouldn't make me feel this way, though I was happy. It was the type of nervous I would feel when I was with him because I was happy to be. Not the fearful type I would get when my pops would come back from work.

"You went back to your place today?" He broke the silence as he continued to drive.

The question caught me off guard but I quickly said, "Y-Yeah."

"I know you went there to fix yourself up, but I don't want you goin there again." His voice became more gentle, yet serious as he spoke to me. "Next time you decide to go back to your place, tell me so I can go with you. You and I both know your pop come back home whenever he feel like it. He could've been there today and beat the hell out of you. You know more than I do how he lays one on you ten times harder whenever you just got out the hospital." He always worrying about me, and he doesn't know how happy I get when he talks to me like this. Folks would say why am I happy that he's lecturing me, but I'll tell them `Why would I get mad at someone for caring?ยด. Especially knowing how this is Dally.

I kept quiet throughout the whole car ride listening to him talk about me staying at a better place, how I shouldn't go back to get clothes, and how he'll buy me things if I needed them. It was nice hearing Dally talk like this because he never done it with anyone else.

He drove into an empty area I never seen before and stopped the car behind an abandoned building. Where are we? I don't recognize this part of town. I thought to myself till I saw Dally crawl his way into the backseat next to me, and it was then that I got that same nervous feeling from earlier. Once he got comfortable, he stretched his arms across the seats and allowed his right to hang over my shoulders. "Ya'know somethin? I come to this area on the occasion when me and my Old-man have it out, but it's also the place I go to when the fuzz are after me. They never check here because no one cares to go look through an area like this."

"If you don't mind me askin, but how did you find this place?" I asked.

He gave a deep chuckle that made me want to melt into his arms. Without myself even knowing it, my body came closer and closed towards his till my head practically rested on his shoulder. To my surprise he scooted his arm lower and pulled me on top of his lap, making me look at him in the eyes. "D-Dally!"

"Relax, Johnnycake. We don't have to do anything today-"

"N-No! It's just ..." I bit my bottom lip. Man did I feel like a girl. I couldn't help it because I was sittin on Dally's lap; If we were naked, I-I'd be sitting on Dally's coc- "I just want to do things at night time." I forced the words out of me before my mind got lost.

"That's fine by me. I ain't got shit to do now that I already kicked Tim's ass, so I might as well hang around here till night." I gave a small smile.

"I bet you avoid Tim by coming here too." I said, causing him to give a small smile and nod.

"See? You're smart." We then began to laugh a little. "Anyway. I was walking in the middle of the night cause me and my dad had it out, and I've been walking for a long time. I didn't even bother stealing a car, but when I came across this place I decided to check it out. Found out it's a rundown Motel and decided to make it my new hideout. The best thing about this place is that it still has all the beds and what not, but the master-suite is mine."

"Man, that's tuff."

"I know. It won't be all to myself for long since I'll be bringing you in there." His voice became a bit more husky. "Hey Johnny?"

"Yes, Dally?" My breath hitched once I felt his hands roam up and down my waist slowly. I refused to move away, but once he moved his face closer till his lips were close to my ear, he purred in a way that told me what he wanted and my body screamed in the inside to give whatever it was. "Wh-What is it?" I breathlessly said as he began grinding my waist against him, causing me to feel the hard lump in his pants.

My body shivered in an unknown feeling from both the movement and his words, "Let's dry hump"
