Sodapop pov: "Aww Jesus. No. No way", I say my mouth in a straight line telling gppony, pony I meant what I said. "But soda, I want to", gppony, pony says pouting. "Pony. wewe know I... Well, wewe know...", I look away pretending to cough. "Haha! I knew it!", gppony, pony yells instantly becoming happier. "What?! What'd wewe know!?", I say frustrated. "You have the hots for alexa! I knew it!", gppony, pony boy smiles. I look away and wipe at my face because of my sudden stress, "look. Pony, wewe tell anybody I'll have Darry skin ya". "She has the hots for you, too, ya know", gppony, pony says turning away and walking towards the door. "Wait, what?", I grab his arm and pull him back. "You heard me.", he says wrinkling his forehead. "How do wewe know?", I say raising an eyebrow. "She told me to ask wewe if we could go to the fair. She wanted me to do that to see what wewe would say and if wewe alisema 'no' for no good reason that meant wewe liked her but if wewe alisema sure that meant wewe didn't, an she alisema that if wewe say no, for wewe to meet her at the fair tonight around 6 in front of the Farris wheel.", gppony, pony says spilling every detail. "You ain't kiddin with me, right? She will really be there?", I ask. "Well, she alisema she would", gppony, pony says. I run to my room and take off my work clothes. I run to the kuoga with my new outfit and a towel. I take a quick kuoga and get out. I dry off really quickly, then get dressed. I put on some cologne and deodorant. I dry my hair and grease it back. I look at the clock at it says 5:55 PM. "GAAAAAAHHHHH!", I yell as I grab my wallet, jump over the couch, an run out the door. I get there at 6:02 and walk to the Farris Wheel. I look around. Alexa is no where. I wait about 5 minutes. "Damnit. I knew it wasn't true.", I look down and shake my head in defeat. I blink back a few tears as I start to walk out. I get to the exit gates which are right kwa the entry gates. "I'm so stupid, I knew she didn't have the hots for ME. Sodapop Curtis, ain't nothin special here. No money, no folks, just a kid brother and an older brother. Damn", I look down while I walk. I run right into someone and catch them before they fall. "God, I'm sorry", I say picking up the bag she had dropped. "Soda? wewe really came?", I hear from above me. "Alexa? Oh god.", I sigh happily. "So wewe do like me, soda?", she asks biting her lip. "Well, uhh, yeah, I mean.. Yeah.", I look into her eyes. She smiles real big then grabs my face pulling it down to hers. I have to grab a rail so I don't fall, and then the fireworks start. I shuffle my feet while we kiss and set my arms around her waist. She pulls away, "I'm so happy, oh my god". "You have no Idea", I say smiling.
His tongue ran down your stomach. It sent chills up your back. It felt amazing.
His tongue went back up to your lips as he started to unclasp your bra. He got it off, and threw it across the room.
But instead of it hitting the floor with a thud…
“Not on my couch.” Darry says, bra in hand
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~.
“Will wewe please tell me why?” wewe were sitting on the bathroom floor with him. wewe were still shaking from the silent sobs that racked your body.
“Baby look at me.” He whispers.
Your eyes meet his, and wewe loose it. wewe put your head into your hands and sob.
“Hey, hujambo everything’s fine. Shh babe, it’s ok. (Y/N) I promise,” he says as he picks wewe up an places wewe in his lap.
He rocks wewe back and forth for a few minutes, saying nothing. He looks down at your arm.
“You’re beautiful, wewe know that?” He mutters into your hair.
“Yeah?” He says, looking over at you.
“I found this in the attic.” wewe say, tossing it over to him.
It was his baby blanket, a dark blue color.
He looks at it wide eyed, just taking in the memories.
“What about this?” He asks, still looking at the blanket.
“Well I thought our baby would like it.”
“Planning ahead huh?” He grins.
“Only 8 eight months ahead.” wewe smile.
He looks up at wewe in surprise.
“You’re pregnant?” He asks, standing up from the kitanda to face you.
wewe just smile.
He scoops wewe up into a giant hug.
How were wewe going to tell him wewe got laid off?
Y’all needed money… wewe had just bought a house, and money was short.
So of course wewe had to lose your job.
wewe walking into your house, and flop onto the couch. wewe were pretty much done with all the stress.
Darry walked out of the bathroom, towel around his waist.
“What’s up babe?” He said, chuckling at the sight of wewe sprawled on the couch.
“I got laid off.” wewe mumble.
He’s silent for a second, taking this in. “I’ll pick up another shift.” He says.
“No, no.. wewe don’t have to…” wewe start.
“No.. I’d make zaidi money than wewe would. It’s gonna be fine I promise.”
wewe turn around to see your boyfriend Steve grinning wildly, another snowball in hand.
“It’s so on,” wewe laugh, as wewe lean down to scoop the snow.
wewe are hit with another snowball, right in the shoulder. wewe moto back, hitting him in the face.
Instead of picking up snow to make another snowball, he sprints towards you.
And tackles wewe into the snow.
“Oww Steve!” wewe laughed.
“It was needed.” He joked back.
wewe were lying on your backs in the snow, looking up at the stars.
wewe start to shiver.
He looks over at you. “Babe, are wewe cold?”
“Yeah.” wewe nod your head, teeth chattering.
He scoots closer to you, and wraps his arms around you. “Warmer?”
“Yeah,” wewe smile.
He picks up the naked two mwaka old and plops him into the bath. “There. Your in. Stay in.”
wewe were holding baby Stephanie, who would not stop crying. Why did wewe and Dally even agree to watch Johnny’s kids? This wasn’t a great experience.
“Hey, (Y/N), look at this,” Dally grins.
wewe look in the bathroom to see Josh, sitting in the tub, his hair greased back, smiling like a maniac.
wewe can’t help but burst out laughing, only making the baby cry more.
“Stephie, shut the hell up!” Josh says from the tub.
“Josh!” wewe scold. wewe glare at Dally.
“It wasn’t me!” Dally says.
“Yeah right.” wewe say, rolling your eyes.
“In my opinion, we are the greatest babysitters ever.” Dally said, smiling.
“Hey,” Dally whispers in your ear.
“Hey,”you whisper back.
“You’re parents home?”
“Yeah, they’re asleep.”
“So nothing fun?”
“Dally, wewe pig.” wewe laugh.
“Nah, I upendo just cuddling with you.” He says, snuggling closer to your body.
You’re silent for awhile, feeling the heat of his body.
“I upendo you.” wewe whisper.
“Not as much as I upendo you.” He squeezes you.
