THE NEXT MORNING I was chatting with my brother and Cherry downstairs eating breakfast. It had been abnormal when Bob barged in my room telling me breakfast was ready. Cherry was wearing a nice teal night gown while I sat with a just a bra and flower decorated bottoms. Bob was focusing on me from the other side of the dining table. He was looking at me with a look, a look of disgust and rage. I knew he was going to do something abrupt.
I was picking at my food with full attention to the eggs on my plate. I was doing just fine, minding my own business until I heard Bob drop his fork aggressively onto the china plates my mom and dad bought before leaving for work.
"Can you please put on some clothes, Josie?" Bob demanded, with his fingers locked together. He had rose his voice which caused my body to jerk and look up at the uncalled for scenery.
I tilted my head to the left in confusion. I looked over at Cherry to see if she had the same look of her face I did. She did. She was shocked. "Now why would I do that?" I questioned Bob. He looked at me in fury. It would be hard to tell which is which if I put a tomato side to side with his face.
His fist were beginning to ball up and my heart sank to my feet. I gulped and cleared my throat while sitting my fork down by the side of my plate. I clenched my teeth together in anger but put on a fake smile in the direction of Bob.
"I'll be back." I said with an attitude towards my sibling. He gave me a "that's right" type smile , and nodded his head as I walked away. I walked out of the kitchen, to the living room, and up the stairs. As I stepped up the stairs I felt my heart race quicker, as I drew my attention to Cherry Valences panties lying on the upstairs floor.
"Jesus, Robert." I whispered quietly to myself. I was gonna walk past it until I heard her voice creep up behind me. "Shit." She said with the cutest laugh. "Can you throw those to me?" She asked, scuffing her dim ginger hair with her hand situated on her hip.
I looked at Cherry with my eyes, completely bug eyed. "I'm sorry, what?" I asked her, laughing nervously and stumbling on my words.
"I'm just pulling your leg, hold on." She said laughing. The redhead walked up the stairs to grab her belonging.
I watched in lust, as she walked down the stairs looking at me over her shoulder with that sweet sweet smile. "I love you." I unwillingly said under my breath. Cherry stopped in her tracks and looked back at me. "Did ya say something Josephine?" Cherry asked, as she held onto the bottom of the railing. I shook my head and ran to my room.
After I got dressed, i walked down back to the table where Cherry was caressing Bob's hand that lie on the table. I had sadly noticed Bob's hand handling his crotch.
I had stood there for a while, watching Cherry trying to seduce the name i shall not say. After a while I couldn't take it no longer.
"Ew." I said and rolled my eyes. Cherry looked back at me and stapled a smirk on her face.
Cherry looked awfully pretty when she was being a flirt. Her moves were as slow as a sloth and it really did something to me.
Cherry got up from the chair and scurried over to me. "Wanna let me do your makeup?" Cherry exclaimed, I've never seen her act so uppity before and it kinda startled me.
"Sure?" I accepted, but very hesitant about it. Cherry pulled me up the stairs and looked back at me and started chuckling. She dragged me to my room and sat me down on my stool that was situated in front of my mirror.
"You don't need no makeup though, you're perfect the way you are." Cherry said to me, while cupping my face in her comforting palms.  I looked in her eyes and smiled. My feet felt as if they left the ground and I was floating in mid air, still making contact with Cherry Valance. I just couldn't take my eyes off her.
"You're quite the dime as well.." I said looking down at my knees. Cherry grabbed my makeup case off of my  drawer that sat behind her and took everything she needed out. "I've never seen you with a lot of makeup on?" I questioned Cherry in some sorta way. She looked at me and tilted her head left to right very slyly. When she did such, she was walking back to sit on a stool placed in front of me.
"Well, I don't like to smother my face with filth." Cherry stated with a slight decrease in her tone of voice. "No offense to them, but those greaser girls tend to do so and I feel awfully terrified for their figure." Cherry said, examining my face, swaying it back in forth. I looked over to the side and sucked my teeth. "Yeah, well they do have better style then us Soc girls, I tell you that." I assured the red head. Cherry had looked at me wholly alarmed.
"Now what gives you such an idea?" Cherry asked with one eyebrow in a tilt. I gaped at Cherry, I began to laugh at the look she displayed. Cherry had looked completely flabbergasted.
"Well they sorta do, we all wear nearly the same damn thing. Them greaser girls really know how to show us." I informed Cherry, I was a hundred percent certain of my words. Cherry was eyeing at me with her tongue pressed against her cheek. She was nodding her head with understanding intentions.
"I suppose you're maybe right." Cherry perceived, with an agreeable smile on her face.

I wanted to kiss Cherry right in that moment. The feeling holding me back drowned me in guilt and disgust. I just wanted it to go away. I could feel my legs quivering. I knew I would regret it, i knew it.

"Cherry." I called out to her. She turned her head my direction, her cherry hair flows as her head spins. Dancing and smiling in the air. I could feel my heart rate buzzing, and wanting closure. I was gonna tell her to forget about the makeup and we can just go back downstairs. Instead, my mind had other plans.
I felt my hands rapidly run up to Cherry's cheeks and I had pulled her face into mine. I locked lips with the redhead, the one i've been dying to touch like this forever. I felt dizzy and lightheaded as I came to senses of what I was doing. I didn't feel the way I had wanted to feel when I connected with her lips. I felt more guilt, maybe because I kissed her without her wanting it in the first place. Maybe because I had kissed her and my door was open. Maybe.. just maybe because I had kissed her with Bob standing, watching us from my door way.

"Josephine!" Bob snapped.
