Two-bit's First Brunette

Chapter 3

****JJ's POV****
I sat on the porch and watched Two-bit run down the street so he could make it to his date. "Sup gorgeous?" Steve asked sitting down with me on the porch.

I sighed. "Nothing." I said.

He looked at me for a minute before asking, "Why do sad?"

"Oh no reason to be sad for ANYONE," I started my rant. "We all got a great life! Especially Two-bit. I mean, he's on his way to date this perfect faced, stupidity skinny, well dressed, ugly blonde, greaser girl!"

Steve rolled his eyes and chuckled slightly. "Although all of that is true, some of your words are quite contradicting." He said pretending to sip tea out of a little china cup and pushing up his imaginary glasses as if to look sophisticated. Now that I had to giggle at. "Plus, I think he likes you."

"Wha- what! No, no! Why would he do that!? Um not like it matters, I don't like him back." I said changing my pace with each sentence.

"Cummon! JJ you've gotta admit it! You don't think I can tell!? I know you, and I know what it looks like when you like someone and you've liked him for months by now. No more trying to hiding it." Steve said.

"UGHHH fine!" I whined. "Yes, I, Jocelyn Jade Winston, like the, Two-bit Matthews." I said emphasizing 'the'.

"I know..." Steve said. "I know..."

****TWO-BIT's POV****
I swear that was the most boring thing I have ever put myself through. I walked her home then headed to Buck's figuring there would be some sort of party there. I was right. I walked in and grabbed a beer then scouted the room. There she was, the one and only JJ sitting by the fireplace brushing out her hair. "JJ!" I called and she seemed to perk up when she saw me.

"Sup Two?" She asked as I sat down next to her. She was wrapping her waist length hair in this complicated twisty thing. I think it was called a braid but apparently there are different types of braids so I just stop asking.

"Nothing." I replied trying to act calm instead of awkward and lovestruck.

Her face dulled down for a second like she remembered something. She put on a smile that was obviously fake and asked, "So, how was that date."

I was confused for a second but then remembered that dinner that was boring enough to make me take my own life. "Um well how do I say this nicely," I started. "IT WAS AWFUL!" Her fake smile shifted into a real one and she broke out into laughter. I laughed with her for a minute before Dallas came over.

"Hey J," he started. "I've ought to ask ya something."

"Whaaaaattt?" She whined and I laughed briefly.

"You know Lauren?"

"No I have absolutely no clue who she is." JJ said sarcastically. "Now spit it out ya dipshit! I was talkin' to Two-bit here!"

"Watch it...." He said giving her the death glare for a moment, then moved on. "Would it be alright if I asked her out?"

She smirked. "Is Dallas Winston, asking his little sister, for permission to date someone?"

He hardened up and I chugged some beer to keep from laughing. And believe me, it took all my strength not to spit it out everywhere and crack up. "Well, no. I'm asking her. Doesn't matter what you say. Just thought you'd like to think it mattered." Dallas stormed off and the both of us started laughing.

"I really do love y-" I paused. "To see you push his buttons," I said. Wow nice save dipshit! I thought to myself.

"Well, it's funny because he knows he wouldn't hurt me, and he's mad that I know it too." She said not noticing my awkward situation.

This is stupid, I thought. Just ask her out!

"Hey are you okay?" She asked.

"Oh um-"

"KEITH!!" I was cut off by my ex girlfriend who was drunk off her ass. Before I knew what hit me, I was pinned down with her tongue practically down my throat...

****JJ's POV****
I felt like I was gonna be sick. Especially if I kept watching. I realized my mouth was hanging open so I closed it, got up and ran. I finally made it home and I slammed the door behind me, then locked it. I felt the anger swelling up inside of my stomach and I just wanted to lash out. I ran upstairs into my room and punched the punching bag for a few minutes, then flopped down on my bed. After awhile I got up and looked outside. And I'm sure anyone could guess who was walking down the street. That's right, none other than the guy who was just sucking on some sluts face hours before. Two-bit Matthews.

****TWO-BIT's POV****
I pushed her off of me. "What the hell!?" I yelled spitting. I looked around for JJ but she was nowhere to be found. "Greaaaattttt." I muttered to myself. I have to talk to her! I thought. I didn't know exactly where I would find her but I set out to her house first. Slowly, I walked up to the door and knocked.

She whipped the door open. "Hello Keith!" She said loudly, mimicking my ex.

"Look," I started. "I'm just gonna say this now because if I don't, I'll never say it at all. JJ, you're so amazing. You're beautiful and sweet and funny. I don't know if you noticed this and I'm not sure if you care but I think I love you. And if you don't feel the same or if you don't wanna try this out then I understand, but I think you're the one. And you can't tell me that you don't feel the same after this." I smirked for a second, and then kissed her. She jumped, and was totally caught off guard but after a second, she kissed back. It was the best feeling in the world. After a few more seconds, we stopped and rested our foreheads against each others.

"Two-bit?" She asked.

"Yeah?" I said nervously.

"I love you too." She looked straight into my eyes and hugged me tight. They say trying new things is important in life, and I'm sick of blondes. This brunette is a keeper.
