Rowen Curtis

35

Today is Saturday and I have the day off. Darry, Soda, and Steve still have work, I don't. There is no school also so Two-Bit is out somewhere, Dally is at Buck's or causing trouble. Ponyboy went to the theater to watch a movie he has been dying to see. So that leaves me and Johnny.

We needed the time alone since we don't usually get it, let alone get the whole house to ourselves. Johnny and I have been cuddled up on the couch watching the news and some football. I made lunch when we both got hungry and then we went to our bedroom and made out.

We both had this new found confidence and we went all out. Touching and kissing every where we can touch. Things got heated and went to the next level. Clothes were off and I think you know what we did.

We had plenty of time before the others came back so we cleaned ourselves up and the bed. I then started to do laundry and clean around the house. Johnny helped dust and take out the trash. I loved every second, minute and hour spend with only my boyfriend.

Just as we finished cleaning and was going to the porch so Johnny could smoke, the gang all walked in. And let me tell you, it was weird how all 6 of them arrived at the same time. Johnny leaned against the railing on his elbows. I came up behind him. And hugged him from behind. I laid my forehead on his back and ingaled his sent of smoke, cinnamon, and vanilla.

All the gang smokes except for Darry, Soda, and I. Soda and I only do it when really stress, or when he wants to look cool. You usually don't see us with a cancer stick. Dally, Steve and Two ate the only ones that drink.

As I was caught up in my thoughts my eyes began to get heavy. So I feel asleep standing up, hugging my boyfriend behind with my face in his back.

Johnny's P. O. V

I went outside to have a smoke and my beautiful girlfriend behind me. I was leaning against the railing if the porch when Nikki hugged me from behind and had her face in my back. I didn't find, it was cute- she looks cute. Neither if us said anything, we had a comfortable silence between us. I finished my smoke and I heard Nikki's even out breath, she feel asleep. I don't know what to do.

I stood there trying to figure out what to do, I am hoping someone comes and checks in us. Just to my lucky the screen opens and I hear someone walk over to my right side. I look over and see Dally.

"Is something wrong Johnny? " Dal asked. He is only soft for me and Rowen, maybe Pony.

"Rowen is asleep. And I don't know what to do. " I tell Dally.

"No kidding, she's out man." he said laughing.

He left and came back and I see Soda, Darry, and Dally. They took pictures and then Dally went back in, while Soda helped me.

"Sorry Johnny. Didn't expect her to do this." Soda apologies.

"It's okay. I understand that it is hard for her. With her disorder, hm she just falls asleep. I didn't know what to do." I said.

'Well this is something that she won't hear the end of. I will try to carefully get her off you so we can go inside." Darry said.

Darry and Soda gently moved her arms so they would let got of my torso. Then her head was moved. I think the are both holding her up with one arm so she doesn't fall over. I can't see anything, so I"m just guessing. Once I feel her weight is off me, I turn around and see Darry carrying Rowen inside while Soda holds the door open. I follow behind Darry and Soda behind me, closing the screen gently. Soda walks around us and pushes Steve and Pony off the couch. I laid down and Darry laid her down on my chest, like .

Rowen slept most of the day, not stirring at all, not even when Two-Bit and Steve wrestled for the last piece of cake. I admire Nikki for the way she can sleep through anything. I love her with all my heart I promise not to lose her.
