Twin Randle

22~ My Promise

    I went to open it and I seen a box. It was specifically some sort of jewelry. I opened it and I see a very shiny ring. Is he proposing?
"Paisley it's probably not what you think it is. It's not an engagement ring." He laughed knowing I overthink. "It's a promise ring. I don't necessarily promise we're going to get married but I promise we're going to be together forever." I was shocked at how much he committed. A promise ring for Dally is still a huge deal. "So do you accept? I don't really know how these things work."
"Yes and to agree with you I'm perfectly fine not getting married just being with you is enough." I smiled as I kissed him. Man I'm in love with him. Our kiss became more and more passionate and then he got up to lock the door.

     It was the next morning when I felt shuffling around. I seen Dally sitting up. May I add without a shirt. What a wonderful thing to wake up to. "Good morning." He smiled down at me.
     "Good morning Dal." I say sitting up with him. He leaned into kiss me good morning.
     "Want to get ready to go to the Curtis house?" He asked.
     "Yes please." I smiled as I got up to get ready. I threw on a green sweater and a matching green crop top underneath. Paired with a pie of Jean shorts and converse (picture above).
       "You ready?" He asked me looking at me up and down. "You look cute."
       "Yes and thank you Dal." I smiled as he kissed me.

We were walking to the Curtis house when I got a bad feeling. I grabbed Dallys hand and squeezed it in hopes I would feel relieved. It's only my subconscious telling me to be worried. Nothing is actually wrong.
"Are you okay?" He asked probably because I was squeezing him so hard.
"Just have a bad feeling." I say looking around. That's when we both heard it. The engine was so loud. The car came up behind us following us slowly.
"Hey greasers!" They said in a snotty tone.
"Get the hell away from me and my girlfriend before I have to do something." Dally sighed.
"Maybe you should've kept your girlfriend away from our buddy nicks house." One of them said.
"Maybe keep your buddy away from hitting girls." Dally said very much getting frustrated. They pulled the car in front of us making us stop. Dally pushed me behind him and stood defensively in front of me. They came at Dally and he punched one of them making them fall down. Although Dally pushed me behind him I took matters into my own hands. I kneed one of them where the sun don't shine making him hurl over in pain. I seen Dally smile at me for doing that as he was taking on another. Eventually they got scared and ran back into their car and drove away.
"This is why I love you." He put his arm around me and smiled.
"This is the only reason?" I laugh.
"Yeah the rest of your personality sucks." He chuckled as we strolled up to the Curtis house.
"Stevie!" I smiled and ran to go hug him.
"Paisley!" He smiled as well and hugged back.
"How was your night at the Curtis house?" I ask.
"Soda and I pulled a prank on ponyboy. We put whipped cream on his hand and tickled his face so he hit himself with it. It was so much fun." He laughed along with soda.
"Why do you hate a fourteen year old?" I laugh.
"We all know why." He rolled his eyes. Two bit then came in and slammed the door making us all jump.
"Darry I heard there's cake." Two bit said.
"I'm pretty sure he doesn't know any of us are here." I say laughing as Dally and I sat down in the couch.
"It's only him and the cake." Soda whispered.
"The true love story." I giggled.
"Who's the man in the relationship?" Dally asked.
"The cake." Steve soda and I all said unison.
"I'm glad we agreed." Dally chuckled.
"What's up gang." Two bit said as he was holding a plate full of cake.
"How's your cake?" Steve asked.
"Pretty good actually thanks for asking." Two bit said as he sat down.

Not too much later Johnny came in quietly. We all looked at him, "what's up Johnny man?" Dally asked.
"The parents are fighting again I'm sick of it." Johnny said sitting on the chair seeming all tense.
"Man do you want me to beat them up?" Dally asked. He's got a soft spot for Johnny. We all feel for him because of how his parents treat him and each other. But but Dally always treated him like a little brother.
"Nah man I just need a place to crash tonight." He said.
"Why don't you come say with us?" I suggest.
"Yeah Johnny man if you need a place come by ours." Dally said.
"I don't want to intrude." Johnny looked down at his shoes.
"You won't Johnny." Dally said reassuring him.
"You can stay in Steve's room, he's crashing here tonight again." I suggest looking at steve. He nodded so I knew he could.
