The Outsiders

Part 4

Once we get walkin' Dally does a backflip off of the fence. That boy must be trying to impress me or he is just energized today. We walk on the sidewalk and talk. Dally whispers to me "Can I tell Johnny-cake?" I think about it then nod but inside I was worried as hell to know what Johnny would say. Dally looks over at Johnny and says "Hey Johnny, what'd you think about me and Jeff like say if me and him were together?" Johnny's eyes widen and looks back at us. "I would be fine with it I guess. Are you guys really?" Dally nods his head. Johnny says "How are you gonna tell the others?" Dally thinks for a minute and shrugs his shoulders. I could tell Johnny thought it was weird but didn't wanna hurt Dally's feelings. That's what I meant by they are like brothers. We finally get to the movies and climb through a hole in the bottom of the fence. As I climb through, Dally smacks my butt. I turn my head back and growl under my breath but I can't help but chuckle. He smiles and climbs through. Dally holds my hand and takes me to the stand to buy popcorn. Dally asks me "You like the movies so far?" I answer him with yes. As we are walking back with the popcorn Dally brings me over to a secret place in the back. He says "Jeff I have just been wanting to say this, but when you weren't here I was so sad and lonely I felt like nobody liked me at all. When you showed up I liked you from the moment I saw you." Dally kisses me on the lips holding on to my right arm with such a grip that could make a man crazy. His lips were so soft but his kiss, oh so rough.. I like those kinds, Soft and rough. The kiss lasted for a minute long. It felt like heaven came down and touched my lips. He smiled and hugged me. Saying yes to him was the best choice I ever made.
