I could hear Johnny's parents bickering upstairs as I slipped on my pants. Johnny turned towards me. "Where are you going?" He asked rubbing his eyes.
"I was thinking I should go home." I whispered.
He sat up quickly. "Why?"
I sighed. "Are we too different?" I asked.
"What?" He asked.
I sat down next to him. I looked at him and he smiled. I layed back down with him. "Sorry." I whispered. I leaned over and started kissing him.
"You're a motha!" We heard his Dad shout. We heard something hit the wall.
I jumped up.
"It's okay." He said. "My Dad just has a bad temper. Fuck. I really need to get my own place."
"Do you pay rent?" I asked.
"My Mom won't let me." He laughed.
I smiled. "Then you should save up some money before you move out."
He smiled and started kissing me again. After a while, he turned on the tv and we fell asleep. We woke up the next morning to a bunch of people laughing and shouting. This time the shouting was out of happiness between and during all the laughter. "Great. The feminists are here." He said.
I giggled. "Huh?"
"My Mom has this feminist group that meets up every Saturday morning." He said. "They ussually meet here."
I smiled.
"My family scares you, don't they?" He said brushing the hair away from my face with his fingers.
"Nah."
"I guess nobodys family is normal." He said.
"Very true." I said poking him in the nose. He pulled me close to him and it made me laugh. "Let's remove those pants again." He said, then let out a roar. I giggled loudly. He smiled and started kissing me. He slipped my pants off and smiled at me again. He stood up and put his boxers on.
"Hey." I said giggling.
"What? I removed them. Now let's go for a walk." He said.
"Brat." I said.
He laughed and jumped back onto the bed. "I was kidding." He said. "I did remove them for a good cause."
"And what is that good cause?" I asked.
"Hmm. . . the Johnny cause." He said.
I giggled.
"That's right." He said as he leaned down and kissed me. We had sex again, then took a walk to the park. We sat on the swings. I kept looking at him. I swear I noticed something new each time I studied him. He had a birthmark on his upper left arm that almost looked like the shape of a cross. I also noticed that when he smiles big, he has two small dimples that show up in the middle of each of his cheeks. I giggled. He looked over at me. "What?" He asked.
"I just noticed your dimples." I said. "I think they're really cute."
He blushed as he started to swing. We hung out at the park for about an hour, then we grabbed my things and he walked me to the subway. He kissed me for a long time and stopped as soon as the subway pulled up. "Call me tonight." I told him smiling.
"Okay." He said.
I got on the subway and went back home. I took a shower and my phone was ringing as soon as I got out. It was Ryan. "Hey you!" I said.
"Wow." He said. "Someone's in a good mood."
"Yeah. I had a nice night." I said. I couldn't stop smiling.
"Who's the lucky guy?" He asked.
I giggled. "You'll meet him soon enough."
"You want to grab some pizza in about an hour? Or I could even just swing by with some." He said.
"Yes!" I said.
He laughed. "See you soon then!"
"Okay!" I said.
"Bye." He said and hung up. I got dressed and fixed myself up. When I felt presentable, an hour had went by. I sat down on the couch and turned on the tv. As soon as I sat down, there was a knock at the door. I rushed to the door and opened it. It was Ryan. I took the pizza from him. "Thanks. Sorry, Mr. Pizza Boy, but I don't have any money for a tip." I giggled and closed the door. I walked over to the kitchen and set the pizza down on the counter. Ryan opened the door and walked into the apartment laughing. "Very funny." He said.
"I thought it was." I said.
I fixed us each a plate and we sat down on the floor in front of the tv. "So, tell me about him." He said.
"He's really sweet." I said smiling.
"And you couldn't see yourself caring a lot about him?" He asked.
I shrugged my shoulders.
"Be careful there." He said.
"I will." I said.
"Good." He smiled.
I nudged him in the shoulder with mine. He looked at me and I smiled. We finished eating and we were both a little chilly. We cuddled up on the couch under a big blanket. I layed in his arms. We watched a few episodes of Sex and the City after he admited he liked it. When it was over, we each ate another peice of pizza with a glass of wine. We both started to get a little tired, so he left. I layed down in my bed to take a nap. I was glad Ryan and I could be friends without things being awkward. I was really valuing his friendship and I was glad I could talk to him about Johnny. I felt like I could talk to him about anything. I put my sleep mask on my head and put on my pink silk pajamas I hopped back into bed and slipped my mask on over my eyes. I fell asleep soon after. I was sound asleep until I heard my phone ring. I felt around the top of my nightstand where I always kept it. I found it and answered it. It was Johnny. "Mind if I come by?" He asked.
"Not at all." I said pulling off my mask smiling.
