We're Just Best Friends| Darry Curtis

Day Shift

Delilah's POV
"Ooooooo, the love birds look so cute.......wake em Dal"
"Gladly, Two"
"What the fuck!!!" I scream waking up drenched in water. Darry looking just as angry and confused, the whole gang standing over us laughing their asses off.
"We..j..just wanted.. to wake..t.the happy ...cou...ple up ..for the d.....day" Two Bit wheezes out in between laughs.
"How many times do I have to say-" I get cutoff by the gang.

" WE ARE JUST BEST FRIENDS"the whole gang says in unison

Me and Darry look at each other, he gives me a nod and at the same time I jump out of the chair and chase Dally while Darry goes after Two bit. I chase Dally around the kitchen table tackling him and putting him in a headlock on the floor.
"Say uncle" I shout as I pin him to the floor.
"Never" Dally shouts back. I flip us over and lay across my little brothers back. "Get your heavy ass off of me"
" SAY UNCLE " Dally raises his arm and taps out. "That's what I thought kid brother". I get off of him and walk into the living room where Two Bit is on the floor playing dead after Darry had attacked him. Darry walks out of the bathroom handing me a towel.
""We got em good didn't we Winston? ."Darry laughs sticking his hand up high for a high five.
""Yes we did Curtis" I say jumping up giving him a high five. "Oh shit what time is it I'm gonna be late for work" I say looking at the clock on the wall. It's was 9:30 and my shift at the Dingo started at 10. I started running around looking for the spare uniform that I keep at the Curtis house. Steve and Soda had left for work sometime in between me and Dallas' "homemade wrestling championship ", and Darry had an off day, for the first time in a long time, because things were going slow at work, plus it was hot as hell outside so he wasn't complaining. "Hey Dar have you seen my uniform" I call out from bathroom while brushing my teeth"
"Hmm what was that Lilah, I don't speak ✨mouth full of toothpaste ✨" Darry snickered. He thinks he's so funny.

" Real funny Dar, I said have you seen my uniform? wise ass." I say walking out the bathroom pulling my hair up into a ponytail.

"Oh, thats better, yea I ironed it and it's in my closet" Darry smiled

"Thanks Darebear you are the best" I say going into the bathroom pulling on my blue shirt with the Dingos name on it, my ripped jeans and then my leather jacket on top of my shirt. I bend down and lace my black high top converse. I look at myself in the mirror as I put on my black lipstick, Damn I'm hot.

Looking good Lilah"

"Thanks Dar, i heard Steve and Soda say that they were getting off early today , and I'm working the day shift today so you should bring the gang down to the Dingo after Steve and Soda get off." I grab my keys and say my goodbyes to the gang before walking out.

"Will do!!!" I hear Darry shout from the house.
     I get in my car and I start down the road towards the Dingo letting my T-bird fly, reaching the Dingo right before my shift started.
My shift was going pretty fucking slow, there weren't a lot of people to come into day so I was extremely bored, until I heard the door chimes ring mixed with laughing and talking.

     I look up to see the gang coming in and sitting at a booth in my section. I walk over to the table, when the gang sees me they start whooping and hollering. "Hi guys" I say with a beaming smile on my face.
A mix of " heys, and hi's" come from the boys. " What can I get you guys to drink." They all start to talk at once. "HEY!!" I yell quieting them down. "One at a time" . They begin telling me their drink orders one buy one, when they are done I count 6 drinks realizing I'm missing one. I look up to see that Johnny hasn't said a word since he sat down. " Johnny, hun, what would you like to drink?"
"Can I have a chocolate milkshake please?"
" Of course you can Johnny cakes, 1 chocolate milkshake and whatever else the rest of you, ordered coming right up" I said walking away with a smirk on my face. I brought out everyone's drinks, took there food order, then brought out their food. "Scoot over Darry" I say sliding my way into the booth. The restaurant was empty, so all my other day shift co workers decided to go home early, while I stayed here with the gang.
"So..." Soda started taking a break from his food, " So there is a drag race in 3 weeks and I wanted to enter, do you think I can use your T-Bird D?" He said  shining his movie star smile at me. I look over at Darry who doesn't seem too happy that his brother wants to do something so dangerous and illegal. If Soda were to get caught doing this by the fuzz, he and pony would get put in boys homes for sure.
" Yea I don't see why not, but be careful with her, she's my baby" I say with a slight smile.

" Don't worry I'll take good care of her, thanks D your the best" Soda said focusing his attention back on his burger.
    "Well guys Steve and I are going to the nightly double anyone else wanna go?"Soda standing up and sliding out of the booth, pushing 20$ into my hand, me refusing it.
A mix of "yea's and sure's" came from everyone except Darry.
