On Purpose(Sequel to Player Dinah/You)

"Hand me that wrench right there", I said. "Yeah", Jesse said. "So are you going to call her now?", Jesse asked. "She's probably not going to answer", I said. "Okay just because she didn't answer that night doesn't mean she's not going to answer entirely", Jesse said. "Has she called you back?", Jesse asked. "No", I said. "Oh, maybe she's angry that you left her in the middle of the night", Jesse said. "You think, she's never going to forgive me, she wouldn't do that to herself", I said. "Okay I'm done with the tires", I put down the wrench and wiped my hands. "Dinah, you need to chase her", Jesse said. "Okay", I said. "Dinah, I'm serious", Jesse said. "Jesse, I don't even know where they are, they're probably in New Orleans by now or Florida, I don't know", I said. "You can't ask someone?", Jesse asked. "Don't worry Jess, I'll leave your house soon", I said. "I don't care about that, you're practically family, I'm pestering you because Y/N and you are meant to be together, it's never too late", Jesse said. "Ugh, if you want me to go find them, we have to finish this car", I said. "Fine", Jesse said. "We're doing pretty well anyway, I think we should give it a chrome polish", Jesse said. "I was thinking the same thing", I said. "Where's the bottle?", I asked. "Uhm on the bottom shelf", Jesse said. I knelt on the ground to search for the chrome and metal polish bottle. As I was looking I spotted a picture on top of the tool chest. I found the bottle but stared at the picture then hit my head on one of the shelves. "Ow crap", I said. "Be careful Dinah", Jesse said. "What are you looking at?", He asked. He followed my gaze and crossed his arms. "Do you want to keep it?", He asked. "Yeah, now I do", I said. "Let's finish this car and get you on the road", Jesse said. "Yeah", I said.

"Dinah, where were you?", Y/N asked. "No where special", I said. "What do you mean, you were gone for hours", Y/N said. "I was getting something", I said. "What?", Y/N asked. "Close your eyes", I said. "Dinah, don't be ridiculous", Y/N said. "Close them!", I insisted. Y/N rolled her eyes then closed them. "Remember when we were at the beach earlier and there was this pair of silver bands this guy was selling", I said. "Well, I saw how your eyes lit up when you spotted them, and I wanted you to have it, us to have it", I said. A smile formed on Y/N face as I slid it onto her finger. "Can I open my eyes now?", Y/N asked. "Yeah", I chuckled. She embraced me in a hug and put her forehead against my neck. "I love you idiot", Y/N laughed. "I love you too jerk", I said. "Are you wearing it too?", Y/N asked. "Always, I'll never take it off", I smiled. "Even when we start college and meet people?", Y/N asked. "Yeah Y/N, I only see you", I said. "I love you Dinah Jane",

"Dinah!", Jesse said. "What?", I asked. "What are you thinking about?", Jesse asked. "Uhm nothing", I mumbled. "I think we're done", I said. "Yeah, it's looking better than when we firsr got it", Jesse said. "Get in, see if the engine is alright", Jesse said. I took the keys from the tool chest and opened the door. In the front, the seats were brown with white and black leaopard print and a red outline cover. I turned the key in the ignition but the engine didn't start. "Jesse, you put the new battery in right?", I asked. "Yeah, try it again", Jesse said. I tried it again and the engine boomed to life with a low, deep grumble. "There we go", Jesse said. "Yes!", I said. "Finally we got it done", I said. "You and I make a great team, we have to find another car to work on", Jesse smiled. "We should take it for a test drive", I exclaimed. "I'm driving", Jesse and I said. "What? You're taking it to New Orleans, I should be the one to drive it", Jesse said. "How do you know if I'm going to New Orleans?", I asked. "You will, I know you", Jesse said. "You drive", I tossed the keys to him. "Yes!", he cheered. Demi came up to us and smiled widely. "You two finally finished the car!", Demi said. "Yeah, it's cool right?", I asked. "Yeah, it looks brand new", Demi said. "At first, I thought you were never going to fix that piece of junk, but now it looks amazing", Demi laughed. "Yeah, Dinah and I make a great team", Jesse said. "I don't know, you're the one studying to be an engineer", I said. "You want to come for the ride Demi?", Jesse asked. "It's not going to die in the middle of the road is it?", Demi asked. "No, it's perfectly fine, don't be a wimp Demi", I joked. "Get yourself in that car", Demi said walking to the car door. "Since I'm driving, Demi is sitting in front", Jesse said. "I would've sat in front anyway", Demi said. "Fine by me", I said. "Ready?", Jesse asked. "Yeah drive", I said. He put the car on drive then pressed his foot on the gas pedal. The car revved while we drove out of the garage it was in. Jesse turned left down the road. "Let's see how fast this can go", Jesse said. He pressed his foot on the gas pedal and the car's engine growled. The car raced down the street and I clasped my hands. "This car is a masterpiece", I said. "This is the best project I've ever done", I said. "Maybe you should be an engineer like me", Jesse said. I laughed. Jesse swerved the car and turned back to go to the house. "Don't crash the car", Demi said. "I'm careful", he grinned at her. I smiled at their interaction. We turned into the driveway a couple minutes later. "That was fun", Jesse said. "Hell yeah", I said. "Do you want to order sushi or mexican?", Demi asked. "Sushi", I said. "No, Mexican", Jesse said. "Come on", Jesse said. "I kind of want to cherish my last meal here", I smiled. Jesse and Demi looked back at me. "You're leaving already?", Demi asked. "I have to go", I said. "That's the Dinah I know", Jesse smiled. I smiled at him. "Okay, we'll order sushi", Demi smiled. "Plus, we can make tacos in the kitchen, and burritos", I said. "Or tamales", Jesse opened the car door. I pushed the seat and got out of the car as well. "After we're finished making all of that, I'm going to pack my bags", I said. "I'm proud of you Dinah", Demi smiled. I smiled. I hope that the girls are in New Orleans.
