Nice Job Falling In Love With Me, Mr. Delinquent. [8]

[8; Sleepover.]

"Wait- did you just say you never had your first kiss?" Romeo asked.

"W-well there was that one time with you but- I don't count that as a fist kiss!" I said.

Romeo smirked and kept driving. I looked behind us and saw that the two men that were following us weren’t anymore.

"I think they're gone." I said, turning back.

"That's what you think." Romeo said.

Then all of a sudden I heard the shattering of glass. My head snapped as I saw the right side mirror was blown off.

"Well, there goes my right mirror."He said. "Those guys are really pissing me off!" He grumbled.
"T-this is basically your fault." I said.

Romeo moved his gaze over to me. "How?" He asked.

"I-I don't know, you just had to win... again!" I shrugged.

"Who’s sided are you on?" He asked, "Cause if you're on theirs; you can get out of my car!" He said, unlocking the door.

"No, no, no! Lock the doors! Lock the doors!" I said very quickly as I pushed the 'lock' button down.

He chuckled and peeked in his review mirror. "Hey- open that for me." He asked, pointing to the little cabinet thing in front of me.

I did what I was told and my eyes grew wide as I saw the shiny black gun, just chillin' out by the car's paper work. "Y-you carry a gun in your car?" I asked.

He looked over at me. "Surprised?" He asked.

I looked at the gun, then at Romeo, and then back at the gun again. "Not really."

He grinned, "Can you hand me it?" I grabbed the gun from its spot and handed it to Romeo. "Thanks." He said.

He then started to roll down the window and taking off his seatbelt. "W-what are you doing?" I asked.

He smirked. "I'm doing what all the other Delinquents are doing." He replied. "Take the wheel!"

Then all of a sudden, Romeo got up from the seat and started shooting out the window. Half of his body was out the window, while the other half is controlling the gas. "What- are you crazy!?" I exclaimed.

Yup. I'm going to die.

I took the wheel and started to steer. "Get back in here, Romeo!" I demanded.

"No can do, princess!" I heard him shout.

I groaned but then a few seconds later, he came back in and sat back down into his seat. I sighed, "Finally taking my word into consideration?" I asked.

He looked over at me and shook his head. "Hah, no- I just ran out of bullets."

I rolled my eyes- "Awesome."

Suddenly the car started to swivel, "Whoa!' I shouted.

"They shot a tire!" Romeo informed.
"W- What are we going to do?" I asked.

"Well one; get more bullets and two; run." He said,

I stared at him. "Yeah... great plan." I said sarcastically.

"Do you have a better one?!" He asked.

"No..." I said.

The car swiveled a little bit more and Romeo hit the brakes. "The is where we start looking for bullets!"

The both of us rapidly started searching around the car. "Got some!" He shouted.

I watched him take out the magazine of the gun and started to put bullets in. I looked back nervously, hoping to not see the two men.

"U-uh, Romeo..." I said, tapping his shoulder, not taking my gaze off of the two guys that were walking towards us.

"What!?" He asked, annoyed.

"I think this is where we run." I said.

Romeo looked up from the gun and took a peek through the review mirror. He then looked back at me. "Yup!"

We both excitedly got out of the car and started to run towards the large forest. "Do you really think this is a great idea?!" I asked as I jumped over a log.

"What? Running into the forest?" He asked, speeding up.

"Yeah- what if we get lost!?" I asked, panting, trying to catch up with him.

"We won't!"

---

"Are you sure we're not lost?" I asked, following Romeo.

"Yeah-" He said, very convincing. But then he stopped walking. "No..." He said in a low voice. "I think we're back to base one..." He said.

I groaned, "Did we even leave it? We passed that tree like five times!" I said.

“Bu-“ He began but stopped when we heard a twig snap.

I snapped my head around and saw bad guy number one then saw bad guy number two behind him.

How lovely.

“Step back, Annette.” He said.

“Awe! You used my name!” I said.

“Not the time!” He said, getting into a defensive stance.

“Right.” I mumbled and I ran behind a tree and watched.

Bad guy number one threw the first punch but Romeo dodged it and kicked him in the stomach, forcing him to step back.

-After 15 Minutes of Major Butt Kicking-

“Are they dead?!” I asked, stepping out from behind the tree.

“No- they’re just unconscious.” He said, rubbing his fist.

“They… look dead though.” I said, observing their bruised up faces.

“They’re. Not. Now let’s go!” He demanded.

---

“Oh that’s cool, so we just take their car.” I said, as I saw Romeo putting the key into the ignition.

“Do you ever shut up?” He asked, looking very annoyed.

I narrowed my eyes, “Annoyed?” I asked.

“Very.” He stated. “You know what- In a matter of fact, I’m so-oh annoyed of you that I’m going to do this.” Then all of a sudden I saw him rip a piece of duct tape and he covered my mouth with it.

Where did that come from!?

“Mmmmph!” I tried pulling it off with my hand but Romeo grabbed them first.

“Try and take it off and I’ll leave you here.” He threatened.

My eyes grew wide. I didn’t want to be trapped here… with… them! Especially not in a dress!

I nodded my head and looked forward

---

“Here’s your stop.” Romeo said, parking in front of my house.

It was about ten o’clock and my parent’s room light is still on. Great. I’m in for it.

I looked over at Romeo and took off the tape. “Ahh-ouch.” I said, moving my jaw up and down.

Romeo rolled his eyes and then looked forward. “T-thanks for taking me home.” I said, taking off my seatbelt.

“Yeah- night.” He said in a very boring tone.

“Good night.” I said and then I got out of the car and started to walk up my drive way.

Today was crazy and just can’t wait until I take a nice and warm shower. I stepped up the three cement steps and unlocked my door with the key under the mat. I opened the door and saw my mother and father standing by the stairs, arms crossed and not looking happy.

“Annette Skylar Stepovitch.” I heard my mom say.

“H-hi mom… Dad… Dog.” I said as I looked at my mom, dad and my Siberian husky; Storm.

“Where have you been?” My mom asked.

I looked around nervously, “B-bonding.” I said, smiling.

“With?” I my dad asked.

I then started to move up the stairs and past my parents very slowly. “Oh you know… someone at the party. Haha, okay. Good bye! Good night! I love you! See you tomorrow!” I shouted as I quickly ran up the stairs and into my room.

Once I got into my room I shut the door and locked it.

“Shower time!”

---

Once I got out of the shower I wrapped myself with my turquoise towel and stepped out of my bathroom. I started to hum the song; Shameless by a band called All Time Low and was about to go get something to wear but then I saw someone sitting on my bed, just staring at me.

I turned around- “Ahh!” I shouted as I saw Romeo actually sitting on my bed.

My eyes grew wide as I saw him look where my girls were. “W-what a-are you doing here!?” I asked as I tightened up my towel.

“To simply put this; I’m crashing here tonight.” He said, straight forward,

“Come again?” I said.

“I swear to god you are deaf- I said-“

“I heard what you said but why are you here?!” I whisper-yelled.

“Phoenix had a ‘friend’ over and I didn’t want to stay up all night listening to their… conversations…” He said.

I cringed, “Wha- h-how did you get up here anyways?” I asked, crossing my arms.

“Balcony doors?” He said, pointing to my balcony.

“But my room is like a jillion feet up from the ground-!”

“Hey- I don’t sparkle but it doesn’t mean I don’t know how to climb trees.” He said lying on my bed.

“Uh yeah- no. You’re not sleeping on my bed.” I said trying to pull him off.

“Ugh come on! There’s a bunch of room!” He retorted.

“Yeah- a bunch of room… on the floor!” I insisted. “But hey- if you can’t deal then you can go to Camilla’s house and crash there. I’m sure she’ll be glad take you in. She’s about four blocks down that way.” I said pointing to my left.

He let out a long sigh- “Can I take the chair instead?” He asked, pointing to my lazy boy chair that was sitting in a corner.

I shrugged, “Sure.” I said.

“Cool. Can I take a shower?” He asked.

“Yeah- but I have nothing for you to wear. Unless you want to wear some pretty pink polka dotted boxers.”

He shook his head- “Thanks but I’ll stick with my lobster boxers.” [Patty; Haha gosh I miss Tanner. He had lobster boxers, too. They were pretty freaking legit.]

“Hah, okay, towels are in there…” I said.

He thanked me and got into the bathroom and shut the door.

-10 minutes later-

I got in and under my covers about ready to go to sleep when I heard my bathroom door open. Steam burst out from the bathroom like fireworks on the fourth of July as I saw Romeo stepping out.

He came out with only his boxers on and his hair wet. I watched a water drop from one of his hairs drip down his chin and then to his chest. He. Looked. Hot. I couldn’t help but stare.

I gulped.

“Nice bathroom you got.” He said.

I snapped out of my stare. “T-thanks.” I said.

“Well, goodnight!” He said as he turned off the bathroom light and ran over to the lazy boy chair.

“A-aren’t you going to blow dry your hair?” I asked.

“Nah- to lazy.” He yawned.

I yawned as well. “Alright… Night.” I said, collapsing into my pillow.

“Goodnight.”
