Dangerous Love ~A Sodapop Curtis Love Story~

~Chapter Three~

Kylie's Pov
Everyone went silent for a while. Then Soda spoke up. "You know what? I don't think I've ever said this but you are right. Dally, you are right for once. I should of knew she was cheating on me. But of course I didn't listen. And I'm sorry. But please don't ever compare Kylie to Sandy. Kylie doesn't deserve to be compared to her. Sandy is nothing to me." No one said a thing. I could see tears beginning to stream down his cheeks. He got up and went outside. "I think I'm gonna go talk to him. Should I?" I asked. They all nodded so I left. I went to their front porch. Soda had his face in his hands. He was crying. "Go away, I don't want to talk." I sighed. "Well. If you need anything let me know," I went to leave but he spoke up. "Wait. I'm sorry, Kylie. I didn't know it was you. Please sit next to me." I nodded even if he couldn't see. I sat next to him and hesitantly grabbed his hand. "I don't know you all that well, but just know I'm here for you. I always will be." He looked up at me. His eyes were glazed over and his face was all red and swollen. "Thank you, Kylie. And I'm sorry for this. I thought I loved Sandy. She cheated on me and got pregnant. She moved to Florida with her grandma. I was gonna marry her. Keep the child as my own. She said no. She just left. I wrote her a letter. She just returned it. No word from her. I got over her in three months. It's been five months since I've been with someone." He looked back down at the ground. I couldn't find any words to say at first. "If you are over her, then why are you crying?" He looked back at me. He laughed a bit. "I know it's stupid, but I'm crying because when Dally compared you to her I got so angry and humiliated. I thought I'd lose you. And I like you a lot. Maybe to much for just knowing you. And I am crying because you are different than anyone I've ever met. Very different. And I can't lose you." I looked deep into his eyes. "And you won't lose me," I said smiling. He just looked at me. Then he began leaning in. He placed his soft lips on mine. At first I was tense, but I softened into the kiss. He pulled away and stared at me. "When they asked me what the first I thing I thought when I met you was, I lied. I should of said, wow I've never seen anyone more beautiful." He stared at me and then kissed my forehead. I laid my head on his shoulder. We stayed like that until someone bursted through the door. "Hey, it's almost time to go," Steve said not realizing I was laying on him. We both got up and went inside. "Did you fix him?" Pony asked looking at me. Soda nodded and Pony smiled. Soda left for his room to change. I was already dressed in a pink dress. I always dressed up on Fridays for school. Soda came out of his bedroom. He had some jeans on and a flannel. His hair was greased back. He looked hot and I was staring at him. He looked at me and grinned. Damn it. He caught me again. He laughed and we headed outside. "We can take my car." The boys looked at me. "I'll pay for everyone as a gift. Since you were all so nice to me and let me stay at your house." Dallas laughed. "Honey, we are greasers. We don't pay." I looked down at the ground a bit embarrassed. "I'll go with you. But I'm paying for myself." I looked up when Soda said that. I smiled widely at him. "I'll go two. And so will Pony," Darry said. "But I'm gonna pay for all of us." I looked at him. "I can't let you." He shook his head. "Too bad, because I am." I sighed, knowing he wouldn't budge. I got in the car and we drove off. The others were gonna crawl under the fence and sneak in. Darry paid for us and the boys met up with us when we got in. I parked backwards so we could sit on the back of my car. I got out and popped open the trunk. I pulled out four folded chairs. "Wow. Do you always have these around?" Two asked. "Yeah. I like to go to our lake and I never know who I'll find there." I smiled and he smiled back. The others looked confused. We all got seated, but Two, Steve, and Dally left in the first ten minutes to go find some chicks to pick up. "Hey, Darry, can me and Johnny tag along with them?" Pony asked Darry. Darry gave him a stern look. "Fine. But don't get into any trouble. I mean it." They nodded and wandered off. Darry, Soda, and I were left. We were about 20 minutes into the movie when Darry spoke up. "I don't think I can sit and watch this chick flick any longer. I think I'm just gonna head home." Soda looked up at him. "Sorry, Darry, that you didn't wanna stay. I'll see you in a bit." Darry got up and went to walk away but he turned around. "Nice meeting you, Kylie. I'd love to see you again. You are always allowed at the house. If you need anything, just come by." I nodded and smiled at him. He left and it was now just me and Soda. We spread blankets on the back of my car and were sitting there watching the movie. "Darry was right. This movie is boring." I looked at Soda. "We could talk if you want," I said. "I'd like that." He looked at me and thought. "I've only ever had one girlfriend. How about you?" I looked down and got a bit embarrassed. "Um. Well. I uh. I umm. I've only had one boyfriend." I twiddled my thumbs. "Was it worse than my relationship?" "Well, I was 14. He was 15. And one day he took me on a date to a park. It was all going fine until he got handsy. We were kissing and well." I tear went down my cheek. Sodapop looked at me. "He ended up trying to rape me. He didn't because I let him meet my left hand and went out cold, but what if he did rape me? I broke up with him the next day." He looked at me shocked. "I'm so sorry that happened to you," he grabbed my handed and rubbed his thumb against it. "It's kinda embarrassing." He looked confused. "What is?" "You know. That I'm a 16 year old virgin." He grinned a bit. "I ain't embarrassed." I was confused. "Why would you be embarrassed?" He laughed. "I'm a 16 year old virgin too," I was shocked. "You are?" He nodded. "That's why I knew I wasn't the father of her kid." He sighed a bit. "And I'm glad of that. If I was, I wouldn't have met you." I looked into his eyes. We just stared at each other for a minute. He leaned in and so did I. Our lips met for the second time today. I put my arms around his neck and he put his hands on my hips. He pulled me closer and the kiss got more passionate. I pulled away and looked at him. "I'm glad I was bored today." We both laughed and I pecked his lips once more. I laid my head on his lap and closed my eyes. I soon dozed off.
