(2x22): Cheryl Gives Toni A Motorcycle

Toni felt the silky fabric rub across her eyes. With the blindfold on she couldn't see a thing. Pitch black darkness. Toni felt like she's been walking for five feet and she felt Cheryl's hand on her shoulder. "Okay, you can take off the mask now!" Cheryl instructed.

Toni peeled off the blindfold,"What is it?"

It was a beautiful new Thunderbird with a leather seat and chrome finish. Toni was in shock. Her last bike was fine but this one, it was the Mac daddies of motorcycles. She afraid to touch it, let alone ride it. Toni hasn't ridden a bike since the Bulldogs destroyed her bike in the riot. She loved it because it was her father's bike before he passed away. Some many memories but was destroyed easily by a wooden bat and a can of spray paint. "What did you do, Cheryl?" Toni asked.

"I know you want to be all proud and say you are fine taking the bus but you miss it. You miss riding your bike. You have done so much for me and I want to help you out and get my girl her dream bike," Cheryl says.

Toni asks," How can you afford it?"

"Well my emancipation went through. I'm now legally on my own and I finally have access to the money my dad left me. I want to spend this money, Toni. Enjoy this for the both of us," Cheryl says.

"I can't let you do this. I'm a serpent and we pay for things on our own," Toni says.

Cheryl responds," I'm a serpent, too. You gave me that. A family. A home. You know how useful a good bike could be for the Serpents? Come on, T! Please say you will take it," Cheryl pleads.

Toni thinks for a moment and looks at the bike. Then at Cheryl. Then at the bike again. Then at Cheryl one more time. "Fine. I'll take as long as this is the only thing, Cheryl. I don't want you spend all your money. I want you to use it for your future," Toni says.

"But I am. You are my future, Toni. Haven't you realized how I only want my future if you are in it?" Cheryl says.

Toni replies, "I want you in my future, too."

Cheryl smiles and pulls Toni in closer. They are nose to nose and the tension is unbearable. Cheryl holds Toni's face and kisses her. It's very soft and tender. Their hands run through each other's hair. Toni puts her hand gently on the side of Cheryl's neck, tenderly. Cheryl puts her hands along Toni's waist, pulling them closer together. No space between them. Toni pulls away from Cheryl's lips and grabs Cheryl's hand. She opens Cheryl's front door and leads her inside. Toni knew it was right and Cheryl knew it felt so good. They both never knew how much until later on.
