New Greaser in Town

Chapter 13

I am helping Ponyboy with his homework when Dally comes in.

"Hey babe." He says coming over to me, giving me a kiss on my head.

"Hey." I say smiling.

Dally & I have been dating for a month now, & things are actually going really well. He isn't really rushing into anything. We haven't even kissed yet. Even if he won't admit it, I can tell he's getting inpatient.

One of the best things I love about being with Dally is that we aren't those couples that really are all over each other, which is odd considering it's Dallas Winston. I still hang out with the gang like I use to. He's not always with me, & I like that. I'm not letting my relationship get in the way of my friendships. Unlike Soda did.

Once I'm done helping Pony, I walk over to Dally & sit next to him. He quickly puts his arm around my shoulder. "Hey Dal, we should do something tonight, just the two of us." I suggest smiling.

"I'd love that babe." He says smirking.

TwoBit, Steve & Soda suddenly come inside, but they're covered with bruises & cuts. I get up & walk over to them.

"Oh my god, are you guys okay?" I ask, brushing my thumb on a giant bruise on TwoBits' cheek.

"We're okay." TwoBit says touching my hand.

"What happened?" I ask.

"Those stupid Socs won't stay on their damn territory." Steve says with such anger in his voice.

"Come here." I say to them, walking them over to the couch. I walk to the bathroom & grab the first aid kit, then walk over to the guys. I start with Steve. Once I'm done with him, I move over to Soda.

"Thank you Chris." Soda says gently, looking me in the eyes. I give him a small smile & keep fixing up his bruises.

"You know what I can't believe, I can't believe that Chris hasn't been jumped yet." Steve says.

"Me either, to be honest." I admit. We stay silent for a while. I finally finish up with Sodapop, then move to TwoBit. It's harder because he keep flinching.

"Stop doing that." I say.

"Sorry, it hurts." He says.

I finish. "All done." I say feeling slightly proud. Dally walks up to me, picks me up & throws me over his shoulder.

"Woah!" I say laughing.

"Yeah, we gotta get going." Dally says. He turns around & starts walking out, I face the gang & say "bye guys." Before we go outside, I see Soda with a hurt expression on his face.

We walk for a while until I finally speak up. "You can put me down now."

"Yeah, but I ain't." He says.

"Fine, can you at least tell me where we're going?" I ask.

"To the park." He says.

"Why the park?" I ask again.

He shrugs. I decide to mess with him.

"Is the great Dallas Winston going soft....?" I ask smirking.

"I ain't going soft." He states slapping my butt.

"Ouch! Haha, I was kidding." We finally make it to the park. We just sit on the swings & just start talking & laughing & just messing around.

"Dallas, I really appreciate all you've, done for me." I say.

"Like?" He says raising his eyebrows.

"Like waiting." I say. I open my mouth to say more but he interrupts.

"Can, I just be real for a minute?" He asks. I suddenly become nervous.

"Yeah, of, of course." I say.

He looks nervous, he takes in a deep breath & starts.

"I, I wouldn't really wait for anyone else. You just, changed me. When I'm with you, I just feel like I can be myself. I truly do. You make me laugh, you make me feel something, you make me happy." He says staring at me. I look away, & chuckle.

"You are going soft." I say smiling.

"That's it." He say jokingly.

I get up & start running. I thought I could outrun him, but I was clearly wrong. I feel a strong arm wrap around my waist. He picks me up & starts spinning me. I laugh uncontrollably. We land on the ground, still laughing. We start to get up, but make eye contact.

As I look into his eyes, I see an emotion somewhere in there; love. I feel his lips crash against mine. I kiss back immediately. I put my hand on his cheek & he puts his arm around my hips, pulling me closer to him. Our lips move together perfectly in sync. This kiss is so passionate, I don't want I to stop. But I have to eventually pull back for air. So I do. I pull back & our heads are touching.

"That was so worth the wait." He says breathless & smiling. After that, I pull him in for another kiss. This one is shorter but just as nice.

It's starting to get dark out, so I have to go home eventually. Dally walks me to my house. To be completely honest, it's weird having someone other than Sodapop walking me home. But I just go along with it.

"Thanks for a great day Dal." I say smiling, remembering the kiss.

"Yeah, we should do it again more often." He says smirking.

"Well I'll see you tomorrow." I say giving him a quick peck before I walk inside. I suddenly realize, I really like Dallas Winston.
