Once dinner was over, Sally went to take a shower before heading to bed, while Minty cleaned up dishes, Kristine went off to her room to brood, Chad and Lightning sat on the couch watching some late night show in the living room. Chad looked back and saw Minty still cleaning dishes, so took the time to catch up with his little brother. "So how is it really? Becoming more famous I mean." Lightning smiled and happily answered. "It's not to bad really. I mean I grab a lot of attention and before Sally, the girls were basically lining up. I mean twins Chad.. At the same time.." Chad was surprised to hear that and shook his head. "She's cute though. " He complimented. "Sally. Tiny little thing though. And way out of your league by the way Mon." Chad joked. Lightning rolled his eyes.
Chad did still feel bad for the last time he saw his brother though to and apologized again. "Hey, I am really sorry about how things went down when you were here last. I really... I didn't know Mollie would be there and I didn't know you even thought anything of her anymore." Lightning frowned thinking back to that but shrugged. "Kinda glad it happened really. I thought Mollie was amazing and.. I don't know, I guess I kinda thought I was going to be with her the rest of my life. I was comfortable with her and thought she made me happy." Lightning admitted. Chad nodded and understood that. "But Sally is truly amazing. I've just never felt this way with someone before and.. I know I'm happy. For the first time in a long time I feel happy being with someone and.. its better." Chad snickered hearing this then just had to tease.
"My little brother is in love. How sweet." "Alright, alright. Enough.." Lightning griped. Chad smiled proudly. "You're doing good Monty. Don't slip up." he warned firmly. The two brother's sat there watching tv for a few before Lightning then asked Chad. "What about you? Anyone special in your life?" "Well yeah, I got my sweet girl waiting for me back at the shop. All two hundred and sixty horses of her." Lightning chuckled to that. "Funny." Minty then walked in and sighed. "Well, I just got everything cleaned up. You two make sure to shut off the lights. I'm headed to bed." Chad smiled replying "Will do Mom, night." Followed by Lightning "Night Mom." Minty leaned over and kissed Lightning's cheek with a loving smile.
"Glad your home baby." She said warmly. Chad's brows lowered. "What about me?" He whined. Minty gave him a look saying "You live here." then went off to bed. Lightning smiled proudly saying "Looks like I'm still the favorite around here." Chad just glared at his brother. Sally walked in slowly. Chad and Lightning looked at her. Wearing a baby blue tank top that was tightly fitted and some matching sleep pants with white slippers. Her freshly washed hair had been blow dried and looked light and fluffy and soft. Oh it probably smelled amazing right now, thought Lightning.
"Wow. Looking good baby." Lightning complimented. Chad couldn't help staring and repeated himself. "Yeah, she is so outa your league." Lightning ignored that and motioned for Sally to come sit with them. She did. She sat right between the two brothers. "Sorry about dinner.. Kristine is.. Rude at times.." Chad apologized. Sally shrugged it off though. "It's okay. I've handled worse before." Looking at Lightning. She slowly lay her hand over his. Lightning stared at their hands touching. Her touch was electrifying and he wanted more of it, he never wanted to let go. He started to wonder what was going on with him lately. Chad must of noticed the strange feelings Lightning was feeling as he pointed out. "Face is a little red there Monty. You alright?" Sally looked up at Lightning's face and smiled. "You're blushing." She said with a smile. Of course, this only made him blush more as he defended. "What? No I'm not." Sally thought it was adorable though.
Chad chuckled then stood up. "I'm heading to bed." He announced. "You two should come by the shop sometime while your here. Maybe I'll let you drive Rob's old car." "Really?" Lightning asked with excitement. Chad's brows lowered with a firm "No. That would be dangerous." He explained. Lightning kind of pouted after that. Sally snickered seeing her boyfriend act so childish. "Which reminds me." Chad added. "I saw the jeep's plates out there. Rental?" He asked. Lightning nodded. "Horrible little dent you put in her. Let me guess, your car wrecked again?" Lightning's brows lowered before he answered "We flew here Chad. Had to rent a car and the jeep works perfect for trail riding. Sally's never been and wants to go." "Oh. Well, be careful if you do. Don't wanna get lost out here. And I'll give you a gun to borrow to." "I think I can manage.." Chad nodded then asked again. "So how is the race car of yours?" Lightning sighed before admitting "She needs some work..I.. May have caused some minor damage to the axle racing in mud." "Mud?" Questioned Chad.
"Why were you in mud?" he asked. Lightning shrugged answering "You tell me. Apparently to prepare myself for anything." Lightning griped and sort of complained about Doc. Chad smiled though. Sally patted Lightning's knee gently. But Chad was really proud of his little brother. "I'm glad you are doing so well. Got an awesome career, nice car when it's not wrecked, and Sally, you seem nice." Chad complimented. Lightning snickered back. He really did kind of have it all, right? "Well, night you two." Chad added before heading off. "Night." Called Lightning and Sally too.
Sally leaned on her boyfriend and let out a sigh, closing her eyes. "Tired?" Asked Lightning. Sally nodded against him. Lightning felt horrible about his sister and apologized "I'm sorry you're having such a bad time. My Mom seems to really like you though." "I guess.." Sally muttered softly. Lightning frowned. He wanted Sally to really like his family and wanted her to like being here. This was just day one though and he really hoped it was just a fluke. "Tomorrow will be better, okay? Worst case we fly home early. And remember we still have that trail ride if you'd like to go?" Sally sat up and her brows lowered. "I don't want to fly home early. I can see how happy your family is to see you and I don't want to ruin that for you. You seem like you like seeing them again to Stickers." Sally assured. "Like you just said, tomorrow will better." Oh how she hoped. Because Sally felt out of place in her own family, in her previous marriage, and now with Lightning's family to.
Lightning smiled replying "Great. Glad you want to stay." Sally nodded then remembering the little incident at the market. "Hey, who was that girl you backed into? There is an obvious history there between you two, so don't say she's no one again." Lightning sighed before answering honestly to her. "She was a girlfriend back before I started the cup. I may have made some mistakes, but I came home and found her at a club with some guy." "So she cheated on you?" "I guess.. I mean.. Mollie and I had always had this on and off relationship anyway, so it probably was going to happen at some point." "Mollie. Okay.. So she's the one you said you had the on and off for three years?" Asked Sally. Lightning nodded. Sally became a little worried and asked "Should I be worried about that?" Lightning couldn't help but chuckle as he answered "What? No. I love you way more than I love her." That sounded like a red flag to Sally there, but she brushed it off.
She slowly frowned a bit before asking her next question. "Were you rougher with her?" "What?" Asked Lightning. Sally quietly repeated and further asked "Were you rough with her? Sexually, was she your.. Toy before me?" Lightning's eyes widened. "Toy? Wait, is that what you think you are?" He asked. Sally shrugged answering "Toy, sub, slave thing, um.. Whatever you call us girls." "Us girls?" Lightning asked with a laugh. "Sally, you aren't some girl. You know that. You are acting so strange again. Come on, think this is a good time for bed." Sally sighed, but agreed. He was right, she was tired, he was tired.
"Night baby." Lightning said and cupped her face gently. Sally smiled and replied "Night.." "Want me to tuck you in?" Lightning asked flirtatiously. Sally giggled quietly answering. "No, I got it." Lightning chuckled a little to then the couple kissed softly. "That's kinda nice.." Sally whispered to his lips. Lightning smiled, his lips softly pressing to hers. "You like that?" He asked in that sexy deep voice of his that drove Sally wild. Sally kissed his lips softly before humming. "Mmmhmm." They kissed soft and quietly and passionately in the dark room with nothing, but the tv for light mostly.
Lightning broke the kiss and pulled away with a very satisfied smile. "Should we take this to the bedroom?" he asked. Sally shook her head replying. "Not tonight.. Better to keep you waiting til the last possible second anyway." She smiled then leaned close and kissed his lips once more before getting up and heading to bed. Lightning loved her teasing him like she did. And making him wait like that and edging him on would really make it hot and fire like once they did reach that moment...
Following Morning...
Lightning was already dressed and sipping on some coffee as he was on the phone talking to insurance about the jeep. Minty was still in pajamas and pouring herself some coffee. Sally walked in, wearing a powder pink romper, tank top and shorts style, with blue outlines, her hair up in what was similar to a fat ballet bun, make up done well, pink ear rings to match and those flats she brought. "Wow. You plan on going swimming?" Asked Minty. That caught the ears of Lightning. He looked up to see what Sally was wearing today and though she looked really hot in the fitted romper, it did resemble a bathing suit to anyone who hadn't seen one before.
Sally glanced down at her outfit of the day then asked Minty, "Does this look like a swim suit to you? Because it's actually a romper.." "A romper?" Asked Minty. Sally nodded. Lightning snickered and shook his head a bit. Still talking to insurance. Sally glanced at him then back to Minty answering "Um.. It's like.. Overalls. You just pull them up." "Oh. Well.." Minty began. "You look.. Cute. People wear that sort of thing?" She asked. Sally felt a little silly, but nodded. Lightning sighed at this moment and rubbed his eyes. "What's wrong?" Sally asked. Lightning looked at her answering "They put me on hold.. Again.." He was annoyed. "Morning." He still greeted. Sally smiled greeting. "Morning. And good morning Mrs, uh.. Minty.." Sally said with a nervous smile.
Minty snickered with a smile replying. "Good morning. What would you usually have for breakfast? You can help me cook if you like? Show me the way of the city folk." she joked. Sally frowned as she already knew, this family probably didn't have meatless breakfast at all really. "Um..I'll help you, that's fine, but.. Do you maybe have anything simple for me? Like.. Cereal or oatmeal?" Sally asked. Minty shook her head answering. "Not usually, but we do now." Pointing to a counter with some groceries that were a little disorganized and new. "Monty went out early this morning and picked up a few things." Minty explained. Sally looked at the counter top seeing foods, snacks, waters that she ate and would eat easily then looked at Lightning asking "You went out and bought that all for me?" Lightning nodded then held up a finger as he was taken off hold.
"Coffee?" Asked Minty. Sally nodded. So minty fixed her a mug and scooted it to the young girl. Minty then poured a little bit of liqueur into the her cup of coffee. "Want some?" She asked Sally. Sally shook her head admitting. "I really don't drink much and.. Especially not in the mornings." Minty snickered replying "I use to put liquor in the pot itself. My kids grew up on this stuff." Sally looked at Lightning with this horrified expression. Lightning shook his head saying, "No we didn't." Sally sighed with relief. One thing for sure, Lightning had grown up very different from Sally. Minty looked at Lightning saying "That's what you kids think." Lightning cocked his head to the side a little hearing that. Did his Mom really? He wondered? Or was she joking?
knock knock knock.
Minty, Sally, and Lightning looked toward the front door. Minty set down her coffee and mumbled. "Wasn't expecting anyone." As she walked off to answer the door. Sally sighed and walked over to Lightning and sat next to him asking "How is it going?" Lightning frowned answering "I'm on hold again..." Sally nodded. That was insurance for you. Minty walked back in calling her son. He and Sally looked over to see Mollie standing next to her. Lightning's brows lowered. Yup, still mad at Mollie.
Mollie spoke up saying "I knew you'd need my insurance information.. Sorry for yesterday. Guess we're both still a little hurt." Lightning rolled his eyes snarling "I'm not hurt. I'm better than that." Minty glared at her son scolding him. "Don't act like that. Just get the insurance thing settled and please get the bad blood out. I don't like it round here." Lightning glared at his Mom back. He had no longing to mend this thing between him and Mollie. "I just need a few things to make this easier." Lightning said as he hung up.
Sally immediately asked "Why did you hang up?!" "Because with her insurance information, it'll be easier to just start over." "Oh." Sally said, feeling stupid. She was a little jealous of Mollie. Mollie was wearing blue Jean's with rips, lacy white tank top with a flannel button up like a jacket. Mollie had shape. Big breasts and a backside with curves. Sally was flat as a door pretty much. And this was Lightning's on and off girlfriend. Nothing could be more threatening than her, right?...
Sally sat with them as they went over the few things Lightning needed for insurance purposes. Finishing up, Lightning held out his hand to shake hands with his ex saying "Thanks for coming by and helping out. Made this much easier." Mollie stared at Lightning's hand then shook it. "Sure thing.." She said. "Now... Can we talk? Because I don't think I can live a normal life around in this town with you out there hating me and not to mention I have to see your dumb face on everything anymore superstar." she joked. Lightning stared at Mollie and thought about it. Sally stared at the two of them and was so worried. Did she need to be though?
Lightning sighed with a frown then glanced at Sally before back to Mollie answering "Yeah.. Come on, we can talk outside.." Sally was a little mad that Lightning agreed to, but wouldn't stop him. Lightning and Mollie walked out the screen door in the front of the house and sat down on the swinging bench on the front porch together. "So.. Where to start?" Joked Mollie awkwardly. Lightning glared answering "You cheated on me." "I DID NOT." Mollie corrected firmly. Both of them took a minute as they knew a fight was about to break if they didn't calm down first.
Mollie took a deep breath before continuing "Look... I tried calling you." "And I tried calling you." Lightning replied. Mollie frowned saying "So we both became busy.. We both started living our own lives.. I mean.. I'm sorry, I just find it unbelievable, but... Were you really faithful the entire time you thought I was waiting back here for your long return?" Lightning frowned and nodded. "AND BELIEVE ME" he said. "I had PLENTY of opportunities. I just thought we'd be fine once I came back." "You thought we'd be fine?" Asked Mollie with a raised brow. Lightning nodded answering "Yes. I thought we'd be fine and then maybe you'd come with me." Mollie's eyes widened. "Wait what!? You really wanted me to just follow you around?" she asked.
Lightning shrugged admitting. "Maybe.. I just thought we would.. I don't know.. Stay together" "Hmmm." Mollie hummed. "So how long?" Asked Lightning. "How long did it take you to just move on with Greg?" Mollie thought for a second before answering that. "I don't know.. I guess after a month I just.. Figured you were never coming back and were living it up in California. I mean you know what they say about California girls." She joked. Lightning snickered to that. Mostly because he was dating one. Mollie sighed continuing "I really figured you just forgot about me and about Small Town here.. I thought you wanted to leave and make a big name for yourself as Lightning McQueen. Leave Monty behind."
Lightning shookhis head. "I didn't really want that..I was being selfish then. I'm sorry.." he replied. Mollie nodded. "Do you really hate me?" Mollie asked. Lightning looked to her and asked the same. "Do you hate me?" Mollie giggled answering. "I did you goof!" She giggled. "But.. This talk is helping. Why didn't you call more or try harder or.. Come home sooner?" She asked. Lightning shrugged answering. "Partially because I was always so busy.. And because I sucked at that time. I didn't want to come home as such a loser.. I wanted to make you proud and everyone else to." "Aww Monty.. I was proud of you long before that." Mollie assured as she lay her hand on his. Both smiled at each other.
Mollie really did look beautiful to. "I'm sorry for leaving you and making you think I abandoned you." Lightning apologized. Mollie nodded thanking him then replied "Sorry I didn't try contacting you harder to. I should have trusted you and not just jumped to conclusions.." "So we're okay now?" "Yeah. We're okay." Mollie assured. That made both of them happy and the grey cloud of regret and hurt lifted away. "I don't hate you." Mollie exclaimed. Lightning smiled and hugged her saying "Thanks.. And I never really hated you. I could never stop loving you, even to this day. You mean a lot to me." Mollie looked up into his blue eyes with a smile as they shared a moment together, then had to ask. "So whose the blonde?" Lightning chuckled answering "That is my girlfriend, Sally." "No way. COME ON! She is way to high maintenance for you. How much did you pay her to be your make believe girlfriend for the trip?" Mollie joked and fist bumped Lightning's shoulder.
Lightning laughed answering "I'm serious! She's great to. You'd like her. When she's not so uncomfortable." Mollie rolled her eyes saying "She is so tiny. How do you two even... I mean she's a twig! One wrong move and you'd snap her in half." Lightning shook his head replying "Nah.. She's pretty resilient." Mollie snickered. "Hey, friends right?" She asked. Lightning bobbed his head back and fourth agreeing "Friends." The two stood up and thankfully found a new friendship.
"I think we will make better friends than lovers anyway." Said Mollie. Lightning raised a brow asking back "Really? How so?" "Because you are a jerk. Were a jerk." "Are you still with Greg?" "OH NO. No, that ended after you left pretty much. Hurt your Mom the way you did that." "I know.. I was hurt though." "I'm sorry again.. I just"-"It is in the past. I really want it to stay there." Lightning interrupted then smiled. Mollie agreed there. Lightning then sais. "Come on, now that we've made up, I want to introduce you to Sally. She's a great person and I think you two might actually get along once you know each other." Mollie raised a brow asking "You can't seriously be dating her. She's.. A trophy wife Mon. I may not want to be with you, but I know a gold digger when I see it."
"What? No, she's not a gold digger. I don't even really have money to give her if she was." he admitted. "So you haven't spent anything on her that might sway her over?" "No, well..." He Paused. There was Wheel Well. "No. Sally isn't like that. Believe me, if she wants something, she is not the type to go after a man to get it. She'll find a way to do it herself. She is so independent and doesn't need me." he assured. The friends walked back inside where Minty asked "You two work this all out?" "Yes Mom." Answered Lightning.
"Where's Sally?" He thenasked. Minty looked around the room before answering "Oh.. She was here a moment ago.." Mollie followed Lightning to Allison's old room where Sally was sitting on the bed. She looked a little upset as she messed on the phone. "Hey, Sally?" Lightning calledin question. She looked over to see Lightning and Mollie standing next to each other. Sally only snarled "Oh. I'm sorry.. You want me to go so the two of you can make up?" She was rude. Mollie immediately laughed pretty hard replying "What!? NO! Oh my god! You think I want this man child back!? We may have made amends, but we are never going back down chaos road!" she joked.
Lightning glared and growled "You can take it down a notch there Mollie.." Mollie snickered and continued "Seriously, we are NOT getting back together. We had good times, but.. Think we're to toxic to each other in the end." She explained as she placed a hand on Lightning's shoulder. Lightning smiled saying "But that's part of the fun." Mollie's brows lowered as she growled. "Not helping ass face.." and pointing to Sally. Lightning looked at Sally who was very harshly staring at him. "Oh.. Right." He muttered. Mollie looked at Sally and assured "There is nothing to worry about. Monty and I are just better off friends."
Sally snickered snarling "That's just what you want me to think." Mollie glanced at Lightning then back at Sally saying "Hey, don't be rude to me. I maybe the ex girlfriend, but I am no threat to you and what's yours now!" "Oh really? So do you still love him to?" Sally asked. Mollie's brows lowered. "Excuse me? Um. Wow. I am trying to be nice and be the better woman here. And look, yeah, I may not know you, but I know a little trophy wife when I see one. And I'm gettin nothin but shiny ass trophy bitch vibe in here. I am not gonna fight for dam leftovers, but I will kick your ass and break you like the little twig you are if you say somethin smart like that again to me."
Sally's eyes widened as she stood up. "Excuse me!?" She snapped. Mollie stepped a foot forward with a stomp and yelled "Oh you wanna do this blondie!?" Lightning pit his hahd in front of Mollie with a very worried and confused face. Mollie looked up at him saying "She like this all the time?" He looked at Sally then answering "No.. Not usually." Only when she's been holding onto things and bottling up. "Mollie, go. I'll talk to you later." he assured.
That really made Sally even more upset as she sat down on the end of the bed."Of course you will." Sally mumbled. Mollie snickered, giving Lightning a bit of a look before looking at Sally saying "Know that thing with his tongue he does?" Sally glared at Mollie. Mollie nodded saying "Yeah you do, I taught him that." "Mollie!" Lightning snapped loudly and pointed to the door! "I'm sorry! It's hard not to snap at her face!" Mollie defended! She glared at Sally then warned Lightning, "Careful with women like that Mon.. She just seems.. Like a trophy type.." Then left.
Lightning sighed and watched Mollie leave. Sally crossed her arms and asked "What now? Staring at her ass much?" Lightning immediately looked back at Sally, eyes wide. "What!?" "Oh don't think I don't notice. I see the way you looked at her, at the girls at the races! Around town sometimes, Mia and Tia!?" Sally snapped! Lightning stood there like a fool. "I didn't do that, I don't do that..." he did a little out at the tracks. Sally was furious. "Oh please, don't lie to me. I'm not thick or curvy and not into the whole kinky sex shit you're into."
Lightning never really heard her talk like that before. He slowly shut the door then replied. "I don't know why you are getting so jealous.. If I liked other girls that I looked at, I'd be chasing them, but I'm not. I don't want to even be with Mollie anymore. She is just a girl to me now." He defended. Sally only snapped back "A girl you've slept with! So you admit you look at them! Other women!? Do you think of them when you're with me?" She asked. Lightning's eyes widened again. "What!? NO! NEVER. I wouldn't do that." That was a lie. He would totally do that, but he really hadn't.
Lightning rubbed his hands through his hair before asking "What is with you? Usually if you're this upset, means I did something wrong or you are keeping something from me. Which is is this time!?" He asked rudely! Sally was hurt and upset then admitted "I heard you tell her you loved her..That she means so much." "...What?" "You told Mollie that you could never stop loving her." He did, didn't he. Lightning thought a moment about that as it was quiet. "Do you really still love her?" Asked Sally. Lightning walked over and sat on the bed bext to Sally where she looked into his blue eyes. Lightning hesitated before asking her "Do you want the truth? Or is this another trap?" Sally's brows lowered.
"YOU LOVE HER!?" she snapped as she stood up! Lightning immediately stood up and defended himself. "DON'T YOU ACT SURPRISED! I told you how and what I think about loving someone!" "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!?" Sally yelled! Lightning only yelled back with "You don't stop loving someone! You either love them or you never did!" "So you love her!?" "Yes! Of course I do! She was amazing! She was a part of my life and there was a time she was you!" "Me!? What the fuck does that mean!?" Sally asked in anger!
Lightning panicked yelling "I don't know! You took her place I guess!" "OH!? So I'm the rebound!?" "WHAT!? After a year together and you wanna do this now!? WHY ARE YOU SO FREAKIN CRAZY!?" he asked. Sally turned away. "You're not being fair, DO YOU LOVE BEN!?" Lightning asked loudly! "What? No! I do not love him anymore!" "Lies!" "I'M NOT LYING! AND THIS IS ABOUT YOU AND THAT LITTLE SLUT YOU HAD" "What!? Are you serious!? You shouldn't call her a slut!" he defended. "You don't know her!" Sally only came back with reminding "Please, she's into your freaky crap." "What?" "Besides, you're the one that said she cheated!" Sally kindly reminded. Lightningwas furious! "I-she- AARRHHGG!!! You wanna talk slutty? You're the one with the dam tramp stamp!" Sally gasped, Lightning thought back to what Sally had just said, "Wait, freaky crap? What are you talking about!? Are you-wait? The sex? You're jealous of Mollie because she and I were into this so called freaky crap?" he asked. Sally didn't answer that, but she didn't have to. Lightning quickly realized that this was bottled up emotions that Sally was putting out and changed tactics. "This is going no where... Back up, I didn't mean that-er- A lot of what I said and I'm pretty sure you didn't mean what you said either." He tried calming her down.
Sally was hurt. Lightning sighed and asked "Did you not..Enjoy last time we tried the rougher things?" Sally hesitated. She wanted to please Lightning like he wanted to be, but that wasn't her. She looked at Lightning with a frown answering "I did.. Mostly..I just.. It was.. Scary and I was trapped and couldn't move and it hurt after you untied me. Especially around my neck and shoulders." Her eyes teared up as she continued "And you grabbed my throat and it was tight and different and.. I felt so helpless and afraid because I had no clue what you were going to do to me and"-"Okay, hold on. Why didn't you say red? I would have stopped. I told you that and I promised." Did he? Well he would have stopped regardless.
Sally swallowed hard before answering his question. "Because I want to be the best you have.. I don't want you to leave me because I'm such a little fragile and spoiled princess.. I can't be your sex toy, I can't dress the way you want here, you obviously care what your family thinks of me, which means you don't like me how I am.. And I'm pretty sure Kristine is trying to get rid of me already. I don't think I fit in your life here.." That made Lightning smile and chuckle a little bit. "WHAT'S FUNNY!?" Sally snapped. Lightning reached for her and hugged her close. "That you think you're not the best. You are definitely the best I've had yet. Probably ever will have." "Probably?" Sally questioned.
Lightning chuckled correcting himself. "Hopefully. Sally I love you and I only care what they think because I want them to love you as much as I do cotton ball." He teased. Sally glared at him for that one. "Sally," he continued. "You mean a lot to me and I don't really care if you fit in my life here or not because my life is with you and everyone else back in Radiator Springs. I mean come on, I don't exactly fit in with your family in California do I?" He asked. Sally shook her head. "I love you.." Lightning repeated. Sally looked at him and those big blue eyes and cute smile. "You know you love me to. And about the whole sex toy thing. You are not a toy. And I don't EVER want to hear you call yourself that again. Not unless it's playful banter because that's hot. Not the point though, Look, next time just say Red, okay?" He asked. Sally nodded silently again.
"And you don't really think doing that stuff I like makes you slutty do you?" he asked. Sally swallowed nervously and shrugged. Lightning rubbed her back, holding her close. "Oh Sally... Please don't think like that.." "I'm sorry.. I just.. I feel dirty sometimes and it's not a good dirty.." "I am so sorry.. Look, let's... Maybe we should take a break from that sort of thing.. for now, okay? Evantually we can try again.. At least I'd like to because you were amazing." "Really?" Asked Sally. Lightning nodded with a smile and continued "Oh yea! You were sexy and beautiful and even thinking back to it is turning me on. I could totally fuck you right now." He warned in a quiet deep voice. Sally tried not to smile as she was mad a little still and embarrassed.
She pushed him away playfully and whined. "Stop it..Please." Lightning snickered and continued "And when we do try again, you have to PROMISE me you'll say red if it comes to it. Alright?" He asked and made it clear, taking her shoulders and making her look him directly in the eyes. Sally just nodded silently again. She was being very quiet. Lightning knew this blow up wasn't completely about Mollie or Lightning's family, though that probably added to it. Sally bottled up her feelings about their rougher encounter. She needed to stop doing that. Holding back how she felt just because she wanted to make him happy. Because he wasn't happy if Sally wasn't happy to.
"No more of this keeping quiet stuff either. I want you to talk to me about this stuff. It's very important. okay?" Lightning added. Sally nodded once again silently. Lightning shook his head saying "Nuh uh.Not good enough.You have to promise me you will tell me to stop next time I push you. Promise me." "Okay.. I promise.." Mumbled Sally. Lightning nodded and replied "You also gotta promise me you will talk to me. Never again shutting me out about how things went for you when we do try, okay?" Sally nodded answering "I promise." "Good." he replied.
"Now... I love you. I promise you have nothing to worry about with Mollie. She was Ni-Fun-Different..." He stumbled finding the right word. Blushing as she stared at Sally nervously. "But I don't want her back and you should know I'd choose you over her any day Sal. Stop being so insecure because I will always come back to you. I'd never abandon you." he assured. It did make Sally feel better after this talk. "Okay." She said. "Thanks Stickers.. I'm sorry I snapped at you and..I guess I.. Have to apologize to Mollie now to..." She frowned. Lightning shrugged saying "Mollie will be fine. She's a rough girl. And I mean that she is just.. Very self assured and won't take anything from anyone.
