Mr. Bad Boy

Part 22

Because Ashley also brought her car to dinner, Petey and I drove in it to wherever Andre was taking us.

Andre wouldn't give us any hints on what it was. He only told us that we would have a blast.

"Come on, give me a hint? I don't like surprises." I begged Petey to tell me.

"Well too bad, you're just going to have to wait." He told me.

I couldn't help to think what Andre said tonight. "We've been the best of friends." In these few months Petey and I really clicked. He became my shoulder to lean on.

"I'll jump out of this car if you don't tell me." I threatened him.

"Okay, fine. I'll give you a hint." He gave up. "It's some place expensive."

"Expensive?" I asked. We just went to an expensive restaurant. Where does Andre get this money?

"Yeah. Nothing I could afford with my allowance ever." Petey explained.

"Can I ask a question?"

"Shoot."

"How come Andre can afford all this expensive stuff?" It's been on my mind for a while now.

"Andre is a boxer. He does this Youth League thing, number one in the state. He makes money off of some bets made on the side. Plus, his dad was a very famous author, he made a lot of money from his books, so that set Andre and his mom for life." Petey explained to me.

Petey parked the car in the parking lot and got out. Then came and held open my door for me.

"Where is his dad now?" I asked once I got out.

We stopped walking.

"Um, he passed away."

"Oh my gosh. What happened to him?" I asked, in complete shock.

He was silent for a moment.

"It was a late night, his dad was coming home from a book party and got into a car accident."

"Oh dear. What happened to the other driver?" I asked.

He was silent again.

"He was my dad. He was coming back from an office party for his promotion. I guess they both drank a little, but something happened."

I held Petey's hand.

"Andre's dad was rushed to the hospital and was potentially saved, until his body went into a shock mode and he passed away."

Another silence.

"My dad was pronounced dead at the scene."

I grabbed his other hand, and held them both a little harder. I could see pain in his eyes.

"I'm so sorry, Petey." I said to him.

I looked him in the eyes, then gave him a kiss on the forehead and gave him a hug.

"But enough about this, lets have some fun." Petey said, then took me so we could meet up with Andre and Ashley in the front.

"Feast your eyes on this." Andre said, then pushed open two large gates.

On the other side of those gates was an amusement park. There was a roller coaster, ferriswheel, merry go round, everything.

"You're kidding, right?" Ashley said.

"It's all ours." Andre said, and we all ran in.

We ran to a roller coaster first.

"Get drunk and go on a roller coaster?" Andre suggested.

"Yeah!" Petey cheered!

"I don't mind drinking, but not getting wasted then puking all over a roller coaster, to have it fall back on my face. Ew." Ashley said.

Andre handed Petey a bottle, then Ashley.

"Bethany doesn't drink." Ashley told Andre before he gave me a bottle.

"Really?" Andre said.

"I guess it won't hurt to have a little drink tonight, right?" I said, and everyone cheered.

***

On the merry go round I decided to seat down for the ride instead of jump around.

Andre came and handed me another bottle of beer.

"Thanks." I said to him.

He took a seat beside me. "I hope you're having fun tonight." He said.

"I really am. Today has honestly been amazing, honestly."

His blue eyes looked right into mine.

"What is it?" I asked

"Can I tell you something?" Andre asked me.

I nodded.

"I think he's in love."

"Who?"

"Peter."

"What?" I asked.

"I think Peter's in love with you." 

"You're crazy." I said to Andre and walked around the merry go round until it stopped and hopped off.

"Why are you so quiet?" Petey asked me when we were on the Ferris wheel.

I sat with Petey, and in front of us Andre and Ashley sat together.

"No reason." I said, "it's just a beautiful night, right?"

"Yeah." Petey agreed with me.

I looked up in the sky. "The stars are shining so bright. They're beautiful."

A moment later, I switched my gaze to look at Petey, who was looking at me. I looked into his eyes that were sparkling, just like the stars.

"What is it?" I asked him.

A smile lit up on his face, as on mine too.

He moved in a little closer, not taking his eyes off of mine. Slowly, our lips met and sparks flew. I put my hands on the back of his neck, and he put his hands on my waist, holding me tightly, careful not to lose his grip.

I don't know how long our lips were locked onto each others, but it was a good feeling.

"Hey, love birds!" Andre shouted, causing us to quickly release.

"What do you want?" Petey shouted to Andre.

"Here's another case of beer." Andre threw a case from his cart in the Ferris wheel at us and Petey caught it.

For the rest of the ride, which was our late ride, me and Petey just talked, and split the eight pack case of beer in half.
