She's twenty two

Part Four New Ager Girl

After school I walk to wear I left chained my bike. Seeing that alley again just made me think of her more, I wonder if i'll ever see her again. *BUZZ BUZZ* I check my phone, text from Stevie "hey I cant decide what to wear to the mall, come over and help me?" guess i'0.2

i'll head over to her place. on the way there I find a bottle cap at a stop sign, ooo I don't have that  one "free spirited" that's a weird name for a beverage, oh well. I arrive at Stevie's house and walk up the steps and ring the door bell, last time I was here I got a kiss on the cheek, I smile looking of into the sky thinking about it some more while I wait, the door swings open "great you're here!" she grabs my jacket and pulls me in, up the stairs and into her bedroom. when I come to I look around and have a seat on the edge of her bed. "so this is you're room?" I say smiling "indeed it is" Stevie replies. 

"Now.." she says pulling two dresses out of her closet "...which one looks better?"  "hmm i'm gonna go with the one on the right I point with my let hand keeping my right in the pocket of my jacket. "k. be right back" "alright" i say watching Stevie leave the room, I assume to the bathroom or something. I continue to look around the room, hmm a guitar, wonder if she plays I think to myself. "Here I come" Stevie announces walking into the room, "whoa...." my aw drops "what? does this one looks bad?" "no....no it, you look amazing" I say dumbfounded " great now all I need is some killer heels and were set to go, "how about those ones I point behind me again with m left hand. "Oh good eye!" Stevie reaches over and behind me, my face turns red and my psalms get sweaty, i shield my eyes from her revealing dress "here we go, how are these?" "they uh look great" i awkwardly say " oh my god Risa what happened to your face!?!?"

"what?" "You're face what happened to your face, what happened?"  dammit, my concealer must've rubbed off "well um I didn't actually wake up late this morning, I ran into a situation this morning" I tell Stevie what happened "and when i woke up she was gone. "Risa! you need to be more careful and think about things before you just rush into stuff." Stevie says in a worried mom way.

 "well I had to so something I couldn't just stand there, he was hurting hurt!" I reply in defense "But you could've gotten hurt to" Stevie says looking down "don't worry, i'm a tough cookie" I smile and give her a hug "ready to go?" "yeah" "okay" we go to stand up and i trip over Stevie''s heal puling her towards me, "oops my ba..." next thing I know i'm pinned on her bed and Stevies hovering over me, it was like the breath was taken right out me, Stevie has never looked more attractive than she did at this moment, i'm looking into her eyes and her mine. "my bad" I say quietly " you don't have to apologize" she says. I hear a sound and turn my head towards her door, she grabs my face and leads my eyes back to her, she runs he hand down my hound and then to my chin, she leaned in for a kiss, and I tuck her hair back behind her ear placing my hand on the back of her neck. She relaxes her body resting her weight on me. she grabs my right hand and puts down her side setting it on her waist, the kiss gets deeper, my hand slowly lowers the strap from her shoulder to make room for me to kiss her neck. "Stevie, who's bike is that in the drive....way?" Stevie and I turn in shock and look towards her door were the voice came from. "Dad!" "Stevie? who is that? what the hell is going on!?!" 

We move quickly away from each other "sir this..." "Get out" he cuts me off "Dad wait" "GET OUT" he yells "GET OUT OF MY HOUSE RIGHT NOW!" stand up quickly and leave the house as fast as possible. that was the most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to me. In the drive way i get on my bike and get ready to take off, Stevie comes running after me "i'll see you tomorrow." She puts her hand on my mine then walks back inside. later that night, im laying in my bed and all i can think about is Stevies lips on mine, the way she felt laying against me, her wavy silk brown hair cooly brushing against my chest, she smooth soft skin. i never took Stevie to be that way, alwayss imagined her being the type to date the big strong jock guys. of all people not me, what does this mean, i think to myself this is going to be awkward, ill ask her tomorrow at the party. "Risa? you home?" my mother calls from down stairs, "yeah" i yell back, "kinda tired though" "okay, get some rest sweetie, goodnight" "night." I pull out my phone and think about texting Stevie, then i think, if it where my dad i would think her phone would get taken, we"ll just talk at the party. i fall asleep.

The next morning I roll out've bed, pull out my phone and check if Stevie text me. "Risa!? are you up?" my mom calls from down stairs, "yeah... ill be down in a sec!" I shout back. "well hurry up I made pancakes" pancakes? she never makes pancakes... I rush down stairs and slide into the kitchen. "so risa..... anything new?" my mom tried to poke information out of me "uhhh nope not really why" I say stuffing my face with pancakes "common Risa , i know out have something planned for tonight" "whaat how?" she smirks. "i gave it away didnt I?" "yup" we laugh. "sooo" she sits down eagerly  "well Stevie invited me to a party this weekend and....." "STEVIE?!? Is this the person that's the cause of your change in behavior?" "yesss, but as i was saying we're going to this party and we might be back late or something" "well you don't get out much so go have fun, be a teen and do stupid things you'll regret in the morning" its been a while since my mom and i talked like this, tha'ts probably why she's being so chill about all thi. "so whats with the pancakes, you only do stuff like this when you have good or bad news?" "haha, you caught on to that. well ya see, i have a job thing to do and they said they're sending me to Texas and idk how long it is, i have an account set up and the government said they would help from pay from your dad. sooo  i have to take this job, you understand that right?" "you"ll be gone for month's and ill be here, alone, basically like every day, right." i get up and walk away sort've upset but not phased at the same time. "So when do you leave?" i ask keeping my back turned to her. "today...." "What!?!?!  you leave today and you didnt tell me till now! whaat te hell mom!" oup. i close my mouth as fast as i can giving hr that look like i meant it but didnt mean to say it to her, then i look and walk away. "excuse you, hat did you just say to me, thats is no a to talk to your mother, and i ll not except this disrespect from you!" she said in a deep serious toned voice. "what!? you leave and o away for who knows how long and dont even think to give me a heads up, you're never here so i barely see you enough as it is, all you talk about is work work work, its like you care more about work than you on child, some mother you are." TTSHH, i felt a sharp throbbing pain on my left cheek. Anger rose to my face."im at work to keep a roof over your head and food on the table. Now i want an apology immediately!" i look at her, then get my jacket phone and shoes. "Im out of here. "dont you dare leave Risa!"  she says as my hand is on the door nob. "i mean it..." i look over my shoulder, then walk out. WHAMM. the door closes behind me. M choice was set in stone.
