The Bad and The Bashful

The Final Chapter

It was late night when we got home. Tyler was up watching TV.

"Hey, how was the movie?" He asked.

"It was cool," Joey replied.

"Cool man."

"Good night bro."

"Night Sandy, I love you."

"Love you."

Me and Joey went to the bedroom. Joey laid on the bed and sighed.

"I'm freaking tired."

"It's exactly midnight. Me too. "

I went to my bathroom and closed the door so I could change into my pjs.

I went back out and Joey went in to change as well.

I was in my bed by the time Joey got out. He got in the bed.

"Good night," Joey said.

"Good night Joey."

I tried falling asleep but Joey started to talk.

"Sandy, I...uh...I had a good time other than my old buddies in the theater. First time in a while I had to pull out my blade."

"You did it for me, you were protecting me."

"I was...speaking of protection, that time we went out to eat at the restaurant with your aunt, you were getting dessert."

"Hmmhmm."

"There was this guy next to you, he waved and you did it back. I understand you were just being friendly. After that, you weren't looking at him, continuing to get your dessert. He was walking slowly towards you, he looked the perverted type. He was gonna touch you."

"That's why you wanted to walk me back to the table!?"

"Yep. It's wrong what he did, what he was trying to do to you."

"Can I confess some thing?" I asked as I got out the bed and faced him/

"Go on."

"You still wondering about that secret admirer letter last year?"

"How do you know?"

"The whole school new."

"Oh."

"Did it embarrass you?"

"No. Not at all. And yes, I'm still wondering who it's from."

I leaned in and kissed him. It only lasted a couple seconds.

"I always liked you, I only had the guts to tell you in writing."

His eyes widened. He pulled me in bed with him and we made out, but the top bunk collapsed! We screamed, we stared at each other and giggled.
