Purple Dreads

Chapter Seven

After hours of listening to music together and painting, Christi and I decided to head back to the boys.

"Hey! I'm home!" Christi called as she entered the doorway, I followed closely behind her.

"Did you have fun?" Jeordie asked back from the living room.

"Yeah, we had fun." Christi replied for me as we walked down the hallway, past the kitchen, and into the living room. Marilyn stood and hugged Christi.

"Hey..." Jeordie smiled and stood as well, walking over to me while looking at the ground.

"Hello." I smiled at him and fixed my jacket, once he finally looked at me he laughed and raised his thumb to my cheek.

He rubbed against it and pulled away, showing me his finger, which was covered in blue paint. I laughed and wiped it off his finger, "We were painting."

He nodded and smirked before rolling his eyes and pulling me over to the chair he was sitting in. He pulled me down in his lap, one of his arms under the bend of my legs and the other behind me.

"Well, you two have certainly loosened up." Christi snickered and winked.

I looked down and leaned on Jeordie, laying my head on his shoulder. Marilyn sat down and Christi sat next to him, draping her legs over his lap.

"We should all go out somewhere." Marilyn suggested after a long silence. "We just got back, love..." Christi complained.

"So? You're 21, you should be able to run around everywhere easily." Marilyn chuckled back. "And you're 24, you should be eating dinner at 4 in the afternoon and going to bed at 6. What's your point?" She laughed back, laughing louder and jumping up when Marilyn began tickling her. "Noooooooooooo!" She wailed loudly from the ground, which she had previously fallen to. "Take it back!" Marilyn laughed with her, Jeordie looked at me then back at them and shook his head with a gentle smile.

"Never!" Christi laughed obnoxiously, "Fine!" He yelled before getting up and walking out.

Christi looked at us with a raised brow, I looked away and Jeordie shrugged.

"Anyway, so are you guys a thing now?" Christi asked us, I stayed quiet, letting Jeordie answer, but he didn't. He looked at me and waited for me to look at him, when I did he sighed, "Are we?" 

I looked down, hummed to myself and looked back up before nodding. "I think so..."

"Yay!" Christi clapped as though a magnificent play had just concluded.

I glanced behind her and saw Marilyn walking up slowly, a bucket in his hands.

I gasped and tried to stand up, "Chri-" Jeordie pulled me back down and wrapped his hand around my mouth, laughing when Marilyn dumped the large bucket of water onto Christi.

I glared at Jeordie, "I could've warned her..." I sighed, watching casually as Christi ran to the kitchen and sprayed Marilyn with the little hose. Finally laughing when they broke out into a full out water fight.

"It wouldn't have been as funny then..." He smiled and leaned his forehead on my arm.
