After Dallas and I changed clothes and got ready for bed we both laid down. My heart was pounding and I just stared up at the ceiling thinking.
What the hell is going on? I thought.
Why am I so anxious and nervous all the damn time now? I guess Dally could sense my mind racing a hundred miles an hour because he just slowly grabbed my hand. I felt our fingers intertwine and all of the sudden my stomach ached it was tied so tightly. My breathing increased and finally I had enough. I got up and just walked outside of the motel room. The door led straight outside and I stood with my hands in my hair.

I heard Dally slowly walk outside. He didn't say anything. Just stood behind me while I stared into the darkness outside trying to make sense of my head. But that was just it. I couldn't. I couldn't make sense of my head because it wasn't my head talking. So I finally listen to what my heart was saying.

"Hendrix," Dallas started but I turned around and shut him up.

His hands found their way to my back and my to his hair. I was so completely and fully invested in this kiss I couldn't feel, hear, or think of anything else. It was just Dallas. The world was just Dallas. I let felt as if every molecule in my entire body had been aching and craving this moment for longer than I thought. I kissed Dally with every bit of passion I had and he returned the feeling. Then a single thought, one little name, popped into my head. And I pulled away.

"What are we doing?" I asked suddenly.

"I don't know," he said. "But I know I've wanted to do that for a really long time." He brushed a piece of hair from my face and looked at me.

"Dallas, we can't do this. I'm in love with Soda. Your brother!" I started to panic again when I thought of this. I was making a mess of what was already a mess.

"Look," he started. "We can forget it happened. Let's go to bed and then let's find my sister. We can forget about it," he promised. I began to calm down and I just nodded. And then we went back to bed. And that night I dreamed of kissing Dallas Winston again.
