I'd just got home when the phone rang. I had a feeling that it was Sodapop, we had a habit of calling each other around this time. I'm a soc, and live on the other side of town. But I'm not like Bob or Randy. I'm not really like Cherry either. I'm not ashamed to be seen with a greaser, never the less the love of my life. I loved Soda, deeply, but my parents didn't. They thought I should date a rich guy. But all the socs are total assholes.
"Hey baby!" I heard his sweet voice. I blushed, I could hear his smile through the phone.
"Hi love!" I smiled back. I could hear Ponyboy in the background yelling at Steve for eating the last slice of cake. And then Steve yelling back at him saying how he wasn't sorry and he'd drink the last drink of chocolate milk too. "I can see you've got your hands full right now."
"You know how they can be. But anyways, I was wondering if you wanted to meet up later tonight I have a surprise for you." He asked me. God he was so perfect, the way he got so excited about meeting up.
"Sure, what time? My parents won't be home until 11." I smiled. Although I'm almost 19 I still lived with my parents. I didn't want to leave Tulsa without Soda. Soda was 19 now, he dropped out of school when he was 17. I met him afterwards at a drag race. He had just broken up with his girlfriend, we became friends for a while. Until one night he admitted to being in love with me.
"Uh... how bout 8?" He asked. I checked the clock, it was 7:30 now.
"That would be lovely!" I agreed. He chuckled.
"Alright doll, I'll see you later." He said.
"Bye baby, I love you." I smiled at the picture I had of him in my mirror.
"I love you too darling." He said before hanging up. I smiled and began to look through my closet. I decided I should wear some jeans, although not many socs do. As for the shirt, I went with a long sleeved pink and yellow shirt with small flowers at the bottom. I tied my hair in a messy braid and sprayed some of my finest perfume. I'm sure Soda would like it, it smelled like sweet fruits and flowers. It was my personal favorite.
By the time I got something to eat and finished my prepping it was 7:50. I began walking down the street. Being a soc I didn't have to worry about being jumped as much as the greasers did. But I still carried some pepper spray just in case. As I walked into greaser territory I began to think about Sodapop. He was such a doll, I couldn't believe that he actually loved me. He wasn't like any man I've ever met, he was so kind and caring I always felt safe with him. "Hey doll!" I heard his perfect voice call from behind me. He was leaning on a mailbox, I didn't recognize.
"Hey babe, what are you doing here? I thought we were meeting at the DX?" I asked him quite confused. He smirked at me and then at the mailbox.
"Well." He started " I remember you saying how you were tired of living with your folks." I took a deep breath, anxious to see how this was going to go.
"Yes, and you said that one day you were going to buy me a house and make sure there's never a dull moment in it." I smiled back. My left hand resting on his chest as he put his hands on my waist.
"Well... today's that day doll." He whispered in my ear. I gasped and stared into his beautiful eyes.
"Baby. You-you" I took a deep breath and tried again. "You bought us a house. Of our own. Just us? Me and you. You and I!" I started to ramble. Soda chuckled and kissed me gently.
"Yes babygirl. I really did. Pony wasn't as excited as you were so I promised him and the rest of the gang they could stay with us whenever they needed to." He smiled back at me. I lit up inside, I couldn't believe I was going to be living with the love of my life and the gang! Best.day.ever!!!
"Well of course. You tell Johnnycakes and Dall they can move in if they'd like!" I laughed. Soda smiled and nodded.
"I already told them that if they ever need a place to stay that our house is open to them. You should've seen Johnny's face. Man, he lit up like a firework!" He smiled and looked at the house.
"I'm so happy baby. We can finally start a life of our own." I said before kissing his cheek. Man, How in the world did I get so lucky?!
