~SIXTEEN~

I grabbed Soda and pulled him by the hand into his office area. I shut the door.

"Seriously Soda what is your deal? You have been acting like a total dick lately!" I yelled at him letting all of my anger out.

"I'm sorry D! It's just" Tears collected in his eyes.

"Sorry doesn't cut it! They way you have treated me lately? It's awful! This wouldn't have happened if you didn't act like how you did!" I said pointing to the hickies covering my neck and chest.

"I love you! So much, that's the problem! When Joshua came, I got jealous! So jealous I couldn't think straight! I didn't mean for any of this to happen." He said a tear spilling down his cheek. I stepped closed and brushed the tear of his cheek.

"You love me?" I questioned. I cupped his jaw with my hands.

"I love you so much. Ever since I met you." He said resting his hands on my waist.
I pulled him in and slowly kissed him. He gladly kissed back. We sat like that for a minute or so. 

I pulled away. "Let's not tell my brother about this. He'll freak out." I said with a small laugh. He laughed too. "How about we just keep this on the down low. Just don't tell anyone" he said. I nodded

He slid off my shirt. "Hey!" I snatched back the shirt from his hands and held it against my body.

"Calm down cupcake! You'll look better in my shirt! Not Steve's." He said laughing. I felt better so I smiled. I could feel my cheeks get red so I looked down at my feet. I threw Steve's shirt to the side while Soda dug out a clean shirt for me to wear. I let my hands fall not bothering to cover up. I mean I still had a bra on so it was fine. He came over to me and put his hands on my waist. He looked me up and down.

"Eyes up here bud" I said tilting my head slightly following his eyes with mine. I laughed.

"I can't help it. Your so beautiful." He said kissing me. I closed my eyes and smiled in the kiss. I pulled away.

His slid a white tang top over me and pinned the extra fabric tight to my skin with a pin. He slid his red plaid shirt around my waist and tied it. "All done" he said. I smiled at him.
"Delaney would you want to go in a date with me tonight?" He asked.
"Oh Soda I'd love too but I have a shift at the dingo tonight!" I said. "I'm so sorry"

"Ok then we will have one when you get home. I don't care what time that is" he said.

"Ok!" I said excited. "Could you actually drop me off right now? I have to be there soon" I said.

"Of coarse " he said. We got into his truck and he dropped me off.
"I can walk home tonight" I told him.

"Are you sure after what just happened?" He asked.

"It's not far I'll be fine!" I reassured him.
"I'll pick you up at 10:00" he said.

I shut the door and gave him one tiny wave before he drove off.

I walked into the already busy diner.
"Hey Alyssa!" I said greeting her.
"Hey long time no see! I need you at table four they've been waiting for a long time!" She had to yell to me because of how loud it was.
I didn't feel like yelling so I gave her a thumbs up. I sighed in and slipped off Sodas plaid shirt and put on my black apron. I stuffed it with straws and toothpicks. I grabbed my notebook and ran of to table number four.

I worked for about six hours and I made over two hundred dollars in tips. That was a lot! I still had sometime before Soda would pick me up so I just used that time to take an extra long time getting ready. I showered, did my make up, and changed. I decided to straighten my hair because Soda loved when I would. I found a white strapless dress the went down to my mid thigh. At the top it crossed making heart shaped neck line. I covered up my bruises with make up until they disappeared. I took one look in the mirror. I thought I looked so pretty. My eyes popped and my hair looked so long. My hair had grown out a bit ever since I dyed it with Soda so it looked alittle strange. Black tips on my light brown hair but it was okay.

Someone bursted through the door. "Where are you goin?!" Dally yelled. He broke me out of my thoughts.

"Shit you scared me!" I said laughing a bit.

"Why do you look like that?" He asked. "It looks weird on you" he said.

"Wow Dallas I thought I actually looked good for once in my life." I said crossing my arms sarcastically.

"No you do. It's just you usually dress like a homeless man" he said laughing slightly.

"I dress like you!" I said smiling.

"Yeah! Don't forget we live in a bar!" He said shutting my door. He opened it back up again quickly.

"Hey you never said were your going!" He yelled.

"It's none of your business." I said looking in the mirror and brushing down my dress.

"Your going on a date!" He said finally getting it.

" No shit Sherlock!" I started to laugh hard because of his dumbness.

"It's definitely with Steve. I saw the way he tried to look at your boobies " he said closing the door and sitting on the bed.

"Don't say boobies. It makes me feel uncomfortable." I said.

He laid down on his back and started to sing. "boobs boobs boobies" he continued.

I hit him with the pillow in the face.

"Ow" he complained.
"Shut up!" I yelled. "Go I'm still getting ready!" I yelled at him. He grabbed a camera and took a picture of me. The flash made my eyes sting.

"Ow Dallas that hurt!" I said rubbing my eyes.
"Shut up!" He made his voice super high to mock me.

He took a pen and wrote on the picture that printed. "Deleny's first date" I read the picture over his shoulder.

"Who the hell is Deleny!? You spelt my name wrong! And it's not even my first date!" I said laughing so hard.

He started laughing too. "Why the hell did Mom have to give you such a hard name to spell?!" He said throwing the pen to the floor.

"Sound it out! D-E-l-A-N-E-Y. Delaney!" I said. The phone started ringing.
I looked at the clock and it was 9:58.

"I got it!" I yelled to Dally as I ran to the phone.
"Hello" I said

"I'm here!" He said over the phone.
"Okay! I'm coming" I hung up.

"Tell little Stevie he better be good!" Dallas said laying on the bed with his ankles crossed and his hands behind his head.

"Good night Dallas. And it's not Steve!" I yelled out to him. I shut the door before he could respond. I ran down the shirt set of stairs and over the Sodas car.

"Wow you look beautiful" he said in awe as he held up a rose and grabbed my hand. He kissed my cheek. I took the rose and smelled it.

He was in a black suit. "So do you Soda." I smiled he opened the door for me and closed it once I got it.
He got in in the other side.
"Don't ask where we are going. It's a surprise" he said starting the car and driving off.
