Date: Sat, 14 Jul 2007 20:14:22 -0500 From: Chance Subject: 2nd-Time-Around/part1 getting reaquanted/ Here I am walking with my hoodie on, mind full of anger, pain, and relief. I mean, it might have hurt that Kaci broke up with me, but at least I didn't have to put up with her shit anymore. "Beep!" Interupting my thoughts whas a car horn. I turned to see a gold stratus' window roll down and it exposed a beautiful face. I knew who it was. Her name was Kelly. She's one of the prettiest girls I've ever met with her beautiful milk chocolate skin. She was also my bestfriend way back when. She smiled at me. "Do you need a ride Toni?" "Um..." Lord knows I wanted to say no but I couldn't resist that beautiful smile. "Come on you need to get your ass out of the rain before you catch a cold or something." "Iight, I'm coming." I got in her car all soaked. She kept staring at me smiling and I just kept wondering what could be going throught her head. "What?" "Nothing." She said to me shyly. Finally we pulled off and at first rode in silence then she spoke. "So I heard you and Kaci broke up. Are you ok?" "Yeah, I'm good. Things happen you know." "Yeah, I know." It got silent again. I guess it was because we hadn't talked in about 2 years and its not something I like to think abut often. "You still live on 117th street right?" "Yeah." "Ok...so what have you been up to?" "Um...nothing. Just living life day by day you know." "Yeah." The rest of the ride was sort of like that. Her asking questions and me coming up with some kind of answer. It was a bit awkward but I have to admit I did enjoy talking to her again. ******************************************************************************** ******************************************************************************** *********************************** The next day at school I saw Toni sitting under a tree writing in her notebook. I smiled to myself as I watched her. I knew she was wondering why I was so interested in her all of a sudden especially since we haven't really talked in forever nut I just didn't know how to say it to her. At least now yet so I thought I'd just start by trying to get her back as a friend first and then see where it goes. I made my way over to the tree. "Hey." I said smile down at her. She looked up at me looking a little shocked to see me again but then got over it and smiled. "Hey wussup?" "Nothing. I just thought I'd you know come over and say hi...so...hi." I didn't really know what to say without making myself look completly retarted in her eyes. "So...I guess I'll leave you alone then." I started to walk away but then she grabbed my hand. "Sit. You have to go anywhere, you can chill right here with me if you want to." I smiled real big when she said that and sat next to her. It felf good to be sitting next to her. So close to her. We haven't been this close in a while. ******************************************************************************** ******************************************************************************** ********************************* Over the past few weeks, me and Kelly have developed a tight friendship just like before. This time I was determined not to mess it up like before. We chill all the time and everything feel so good, but sometimes I do feel like I'm getting to attached to her again and I don't want to mess things up. So sometimes I find myself getting a little distant. Right now, I'm on my way over to her house. Her mom is working late and she didn't want to be alone. So I told her I'd stay with her. When I finally got to her house and knocked on the door she answered with the biggest prettiest smile on her face. She had on this white tank with some short blue shorts. It's what she usually sleeps in and as usual, she look fine as hell with it on. Just staring at her had me in a daze and I didn't realize she was telling me to come in. "Toni! Are you ok?" "Um...yeah. Yeah I'm fine. I'm good." "Alright, you had me lost there for a minute." ******************************************************************************** ******************************************************************************** ********************************* Tonight...is going to be special. I know it will. See, me and Toni have been getting really close and I've been getting even more attached to her than I've ever been. I knew it was time for me to let her know exactly how much I'm feeling her. I was so excited abut it. I couln't help but smile. "So what's with yo smile?" "I always smile." "Yeah, but you smilin more than usual." "Well, I guess I just feel good that's all." "Oh, iight." We chilled and ordered a pizza. We played around for a little bit tickling each other and playing my playstation 2 then I put Dead Silence in. It wasn't really scary to me since I knew what was going to happen but I used it as an excuse to get closer to her anyway. ******************************************************************************** ******************************************************************************** ********************************* Throughtout the movie, I could feel Kelly getting closer to me. She wrapped her arms around me and laid her head on my shoulder. It felt good to have her on me. Maybe a little too good. I kept easing away from her but she kept easing her way back over to me. Finally she said something. "Why you keep moving?" "What?" "Why you keep moving?" "Look, Kelly, I...I'm glad we close again and everything for real and I...I want to keep it that way you know? I don't want to mess it up again you know like last time." ******************************************************************************** ******************************************************************************** ********************************* Last time...it was all my fault. A long time ago me and Toni were close just like we are now except last time she made the move by kissing me and I freaked out on her. And that ultimately ended our friendship. It's something I've regreted especially when she started going out with Kaci. I couldn't tell her how I felt then so I let it go until her and Kaci broke up. I knew it was my time to make my move and I'll be damned if I'm going to stop now that I've come this far. "Toni you have know idea how bad I feel for how I treated you. At the time...you just sort of took me by shock and it took me a minute to realize that I felt the same way. I wanted to tell you but after how I acted and when you got with Kaci I just...I didn't know how." "Are you serious?" "Yeah." I could tell she was getting emotional because her carmel skin was truning a redish color. "Kelly....Damn it Kelly why didn't you just tell me? Do you know how bad you hurt me? Huh? Do you? you have no idea how much it hurt to lose you Kelly, you have no idea." She sat down on the couch wiping the tears from her face. I was speechless. I didn't know what to say. I felt so bad. "Toni, I'm so sorry. I had no idea how much I had hurt you. I would never want to see you in so much pain. I love you Toni, I really do. Please Toni, please don't be mad." ******************************************************************************** ******************************************************************************** ********************************* I sat an I looked into her beautiful brown eyes and I could see she meant what she said. I had two choices, One:I could hold the past against her and walk out or two: I could be with the girl I've wanted from the start. "Kelly..." "Toni gimme a chance to make you happy please. I promise you won't regret it." ******************************************************************************** ******************************************************************************** ************************************ I figured she probably didn't want me around so I decided to leave the room. "Don't go." I turned around a little shocked by what she said. "What?" "I said don't go. Listen..." She got up and walked over to me and wrapped her arms around my waist amd smiled a big one at her. "Look, I may have had to wait, but I'm glad I finally get my shawty." "For real?" "Yeah for real." With that, she kissed me long and hard. I felf her tongue pressing against my lips and I hpened my mouth letting it in. slowly she started leading me to the couch not breaking our kiss. When we reached the couch, we broke the kiss and she lightly pushed me on it. She got on top of me and started kissing me again. I started to take her shirt offwhen I heard keys. We oboth sat up real quick to act like we weren't doing anything. My mom walked in the house all happy go lucky. Out of all the days to come home early, whe picks today but it's all good. It just puts me on a knew mission ;)
