i stood near the counter at the dx, wanting to tell soda and steve what had happened in the past two days

i wasn't for sure if i could be playing with dallas feelings because of how tough and rough they've described him to me

"so you want to play with dally's feelings?" steve almost choked. "angelica dally ain't someone you can play around with, he plays around with you"

"i know but..." i bit my lip. "...i don't want to make him feel awful at all, but i'm worried i'm going to hang out with dally for weeks and things aren't going to work out. then i won't still have any sort of scandal i could release that says i started a new life here"

steve agreed to what i had said, he knew i hated hurting others and made sure others were happy

soon soda walked in, holding a fuel jug, "steve do we have more fuel?"

"yeah in the back" he found the keys to the back in the counter's drawer, throwing them at soda

soda recognized me and said. "hey angel, how's you and dal been?"

"nothing crazy at all..." i spoke, playing with the ends of my hair. "i slept at his last night"

"you what?" the two shouted, looking scared and grossed out

"no! not in that way!" i nearly screamed. "we went to the dingo and i got tired so i stayed at his room at that bar and he went to sleep with one of his buddies"

"that buddy must have been sylvia" steve joked. "she lives up there too, a couple rooms down from dally"

my cheeks went red, thinking about dally sleeping with his ex again. it made me feel sick to my stomach

i sighed. "i doubt he did, he came to me this morning, he beg me to go out breakfast before allowing me to leave"

"no way dal did that?" soda hacked. "he ain't soft"

"he did..." i rolled my eyes, "i told him that i really didn't want to go and i came here"

soda just shrugged it off before heading to the back, grabbing what he came in here for

steve then put his attention towards me. "angelica you can fool around with dal how much you want, we won't stop you. but if dal does something messed up, don't be worry about it"

"i know this steve!" i exclaimed. "i'm hanging with dallas just to get a scandal out"

"you know if something happened with you with dally that might not end up well" steve shurgged, i soon was curious what he meant

"what do you mean?" i raised a brow

"y/n go grab that paper" he pointed at the news paper rack the store had

i went up to it, grabbing it. i begun looking in it, trying to see what steve meant, and there my eyes laid on it

ɴʏᴄ ᴛɪᴍᴇs                                                                                                    1968

ʀᴏʙʙᴇʀʏ ᴀᴛ ʟᴏᴄᴀʟ ᴅʀᴜɢ sᴛᴏʀᴇ

drug store near by the airport has lost

hundred fifty dollars in revenue. a tallman, wearing a brown leather jacket has been
caught under camera for the robbery. if the
man has been in your sights, call 9-1-1 to locate the robber

i look up at steve then back at the article. "this is dally isn't it?"

"yeah dally always makes his way into the paper" steve explained. "if he's in the paper with your name, the cops can easily get him thrown into the cooler again"

"it's fine" i threw the paper back into the rack where i'd grabbed it. "i need someone like dally just to get out of my mess"

"angelica you probably head out, it's getting dark" he pointed at the window, the sun was setting to dusk. "see ya"

i waved bye to steve before i walked down town. earlier in the morning i'd stopped at soda's to talk but i ended up catching up with pony. he'd lend me a book since i wanted to read it

once i arrived home i noticed my aunt with a suitcase that was packed

my eyes got big. "don't tell me you're kicking me out"

"what would i do that?" she laughed. "listen angel, i got a call from your uncle back home, his wife has fallen sick and i need to see her"

"so you're flying out?" i asked

she nodded. "yes but i'll be back in a month, i'm so sorry for leaving you here alone"

"don't worry" i smiled. "tell them i say hi"

"i will, also who did you sleepover at last night?"

my cheeks went red, i couldn't say some boys room. "you know one of my old friends from high school? we met last night and we catch up"

"that's okay" her facial expression then went serious. "remember no boys when i'm gone, not even that sodapop boy or steve i don't care"

"yes i won't" i agreed. "i'll see you soon then"

she kissed my cheek before leaving, shutting the door shut

i let out a sigh of relief, she would've dragged me to see my relatives if she found out, telling all of them what I did

"at least they didn't know what I did in new york"

getting myself into bed, i put on my clothes into the wash and wore my light blue lace pj set that i loved

flipping through the pages of the book, i found myself finally at peace

before i knew it someone had knocked on my door

getting up, i placed the book onto my nightstand, opening the door there i saw a familiar figure leaning against my front door frame
