I guess I was hoping things would work out, and not be just about sex. Aparently I was wrong though. I sighed, and drove home. My mom was in the kitchen stuffing some envelopes for her Volunteer work with the local Fire Dept. She along with some of the neighbors helped raise money for the Fire and Police Dept's every year. Grandpa used to be a Fireman, so we always liked to help out. "Hey honey!" She said when she saw me. "Hi mom. Need some help?" I asked. "Yes, that would be wonderful." She said, and smiled. I sat down across from her at the table and started putting stamps on envelopes. "How are things?" She asked smiling. I sighed, "Oh they're okay." "Todd?" She asked. I shrugged my shoulders. "I'm sorry about that, Mom." I said. "It's fine." She said. "It really wasn't like that." I said. "No need to explain, sweetie." She said, "That's your private life." "Well, I didn't do anything with Todd." I told her. "I just want you to know that." She just looked at me and smiled. "Mom!" Christopher shouted walking into the kitchen. "What?" She asked, not looking up. "I'm going to a movie with Aubrey." He said. "Aubrey?" She asked, "The cheerleader?" He rolled his eyes, "Yes." "Well, have fun. If you are going out after the movie, call me." She said. "Fine." He told her and walked off. "Why do you let him talk to you like that?" I asked her. "It's a phase. You went through the same one with your father if I recall." She said. "Yeah, I guess." I told her. She just smiled at me. "You are putting the stamps on upside down dear." She said. I looked down, and sure enough, the last 10 or so were upside down. I started laughing. "I guess I am distracted!" I said. She laughed, "What's on your mind?" "Todd I guess." I said. "What about him? If you don't mind me asking." She said. "He told me he liked me and I kind of freaked out. I feel bad." I said. "Do you like him?" She asked smiling. I shrugged my shoulders. "I know I at least want to still be his friend." She took the envelopes from me. "I'll finish these up. You can go ahead and rest." She said smiling. I sighed, "Okay. Thanks." I went to my room and called Todd right away. "Hey." He said. "Hey. I'm sorry about last night. I guess I sort of freaked out for no reason." I said. "It's okay." He said. "No it isn't okay. I'm really sorry." I said again. "Apology accepted." He said. "I guess I just didn't know what to say back." I told him. "You didn't have to say anything. I just had to tell you how I felt." He said. "Well, I'm glad you did." I told him. "You are?" He asked, sounding confused. "Yes, I am. I prefer everything to be out in the open and honest." I said. "Is Alex okay?" He asked. "Yeah. He's feeling a lot better." I said. "That's good." He said. "You won't beleive who I ran into at the grocery store this morning." I said. "Who?" I started laughing. "Goose!" "Really?" He asked laughing. "Yes!" "What did he say to you?" He asked. "He acted all weird and nervous." I said. "Ha! How funny!" He said. "He walked into a ladies cart and she yelled at him!" I said. He laughed, "Oh that Goose cracks me up." I started laughing. "He needs to come up with a nickname that sounds better." "Goose fits him." He said. I laughed, "I guess!" "Can I come over? I'll bring over Neverending Story or something." He said. "Yes!" "Wow." He said. "What?" He laughed, "Nothing. You just sound excited." "I am! I am in a good mood!" I said giggling. "I know that running into Goose totally made your day, but I am not Goose. I will never be Goose. I don't want to be your Goose stand in." He said. I started laughing really hard. "Shut up and come over." "Be there in a few." He said. I couldn't stop giggling about goose. "Ally! Todd is here!" I heard my mom yell. I got up to go get him, and I heard my dad yell, "Todd? I want to talk to him!" "Oh shit." I said, running out. My dad was already there, shaking Todd's hand. "You seem like a respectable young man." My dad said. Todd just nodded, still shaking my dad's hand. He looked nervous, then I realized my dad had a pretty good grip on his hand and wasn't letting go. "My baby says you are just friends, but I know guys a little better then that. Do anything to hurt her, and you have me to answer too." He said. Todd gulped and nodded his head. "What was that?" My dad asked. "Yes sir!" Todd shouted. "Wow. Good yes sir. Strong hand shake too." My dad said. "I was in ROTC in Highschool sir." Todd said. "Well, you aren't anymore, no need to call me sir. You can go now. Stay here over night again though, and you have to answer to me." My dad said, finally letting go of Todd's hand. "DAD!" I shouted. "What? You are still my baby girl." He said, and left. "Mom!" I said. She shrugged. "He's your father." She said, and walked away. "Oh my god. I'm sorry Todd." I said. He started laughing. "Your dad scared the shit out of me!" he said. "I'm sorry." I said laughing. We went to my room and I shut the door, locking it. "Your Dad is scary." He said. "Yeah, good thing he never met Alex. Shit." I said. "Your Dad would have killed him." He said. "I know." I said laughing. "I brought a couple movies." He said setting down his backpack. "Which ones?" I asked. "Some silly ones we use to watch." He said. "Yay!" I said excited. He sat on the floor and opened his backpack. I jumped on the bed and scooted to the edge of the bed so I could see. "Ghostbusters, Neverending Story 2, Bill And Ted's Excellent Adventure and The Ninja Turtles movie." He said. "Whichever one you want." I said smiling. He put the movies down and turned his head facing me. His face was not even a foot away from mine. "How about Ghostbusters?" He asked. He was staring at me and he looked like he was in a daze. "Ghostbusters is fine." I said. He nodded, still staring at me. He scratched his head and turned away. "Okay, Ninja Turtles it is." He said jumped up. I started laughing. "What?" He asked confused. "Nothing." I said. He turned the movie on and I grabbed a pillow. I propped it under my head. He sat down at the end of the bed and the movie started. "Chris and I used to watch this movie all the time when we were kids!" I laughed. "Really?" Todd asked. "Yeah. You don't have to sit all the way at the end of the bed. You can lay down you know." I said. "Sorry." Todd said. "About what?" I asked. "I don't know. I guess I'm still a little shakin up over your dad!" He said. I just laughed. "Don't worry about him." I said. "Yeah, says you. My hand still hurts." He said. "Just come here. You are fine." I told him. He smiled, and sat behind me. "So, which one did you want to be?" I asked. "What?" "Which Ninja Turtle did you want to be?" I asked again. "I don't know." He said. "Yes you do." I said. He laughed, "Donatello." "And why?" I asked. "I don't know." "Yes you do." I said laughing. "He just looks the coolest." He said. "I see." I said. He scooted closer to me and layed down on his back. "They can all kick some major ass." He said. I smiled at him. "What?" He asked. I shook my head and looked back at the TV. "Are you thinking about Goose again? Cause I can call him and have him come over." He said. I looked at him and laughed. "Shut up about Goose." I said. He started staring at me again. "Yes?" I asked. "You're eyes are so pretty." He said. "Thank you." I said looking away. "They're like this really cool green." He said, "Look at me again." "No." I said. I started to feel nervous. "Yeah, look at me. Please." He said. "No!" I said laughing. "Do you hate compliments or something?" He asked. "No. I just don't know how to respond." I said. "Just look at me." He said. I turned and looked in his eyes. "You have cool eyes too." I said. He smiled, and then kissed me. "Was that too far?" He asked, stopping. "Not far enough." I said, and kissed him back. He wrapped his arms around me and held me close to him. I realized that I did have a lot more fun with someone my own age. I put my hand under his shirt and rubbed his back. "Me and Dad are going out for the night!" Mom shouted. Todd jumped up and stood near the end of the bed. "Okay!" I yelled. "Doesn't mean you can have sleepovers!" Dad shouted. I rolled my eyes. "Okay, see you tomorrow!" I shouted back. "Love you!" Mom yelled. "Love you too!" I said. "Your brother should be home in about an hour!" Mom shouted. We heard the front door close. I started laughing. "What was that?" I asked. He laughed, "I was afraid someone was going to come in." "I locked it, weirdo." I said. "I know. Sorry. I guess I'm a little nervous too." He said. "Come back here." I said, pausing the movie. He walked over and layed back down next to me. "Why did you pause the movie?" He asked. "We can watch it later." I said, raising my eyebrows. "Oh, later. Okay." He said, winking. I started laughing. "Anyone here?!" Christopher shouted. "Shh." I said. I heard him walking down the hall. "Ally?" He asked. I heard a girl giggling. I walked to the door and opened it. Christopher was standing there with a girl. She was tall and skinny with long blond hair. "Where is Mom and Dad?" He asked peaking into my room. "Hey." Todd said. "Hi." Christopher said. "They are gone for the night." I said. "Is he staying over?" Christopher asked. "Is she staying over?" I asked. He looked at her. "I can." She said smiling. He looked at me for approval. "I don't care what you do." I said. "Promise you won't tell Mom and Dad if she stays over?" He asked. "If you promise not to tell them if Todd stays over." I said. "Deal." He said. He grabbed the girls hand and ran to his room shutting the door. She was giggling the whole time. "I'm staying over?" Todd asked. "Only if you want to." I told him. "Oh, I want to." He said. I smiled and layed back in bed. "But, I'm still a little afraid of your dad." "Don't be. He's a sweetheart really. Besides, I'm almost 22, I think I can have someone over." I told him. "Well, in that case, I wouldn't dream of leaving you." Todd said. "Good. Kiss me again, you are good at it." I told him. He laughed. "Are you going to see Alex again?" He asked. "I have no idea. We won't be trying to date again. I know that for sure." I said. "I'm hungry." He said. "Oh, uh. We can go make a frozen pizza or something." I said. "That sounds good. Then we can finish the movie." He said. "Uh, yeah. Okay." I said smiling. He smiled and we went out to the kitchen. I turned on the oven and took a pizza out of the freezer. Christopher walked out to the kitchen. "Can I ask you something?" He asked Todd. Todd looked at me weird and I shrugged my shoulders. "Yeah." He said. "Outside." Christopher said. "Okay. . ." Todd said. They went ouside. I was afraid Christopher was trying to embaras me or something. They walked back in a few seconds later. Christopher went running down the hall. "Your brother just asked me if I had any condoms." He whispered. "What?!" I asked loudly. Christopher walked by us. "I gotta run to the store real quick." He said as he opened the door. "Be right back." He said. "Oh my god." I said. "You don't have any?" I asked. "Do I need some?" He asked me. I started laughing so hard. "I can't believe my little brother just asked you for a condom!" I said. "And know you don't need one." I told him. I got kind of a dissapointed look on his face. "Because I'm covered in that department." I said. "Oh." He said, smiling. I started laughing again. "What?" "Boys!" I said. He just laughed. I put the pizza in the over and sat down at the table. A few minutes later, Christopher came running in the front door. He opened the liquor cabinet and started looking through it. "Christopher!" I shouted. "Who cares. Mom and Dad aren't home." He said. "Are you giving her drinks so she has sex with you?" I asked. He stood up. "What?" He asked. "Stay away from the alcohol." I said. "You suck." He said closing the cabinet. "Be careful please." I said. "I've been doing it for years. I think I know how to be careful." He said. "Uh-huh? Years? Honey, 16 was only a few months ago." I said. He just glared at me, and stormed off to his room. I started laughing again. "What a dork! Five bucks say's he's back out in five minutes because he's too quick." I said, laughing. "You are mean! I'll give him ten minutes." Todd said, and I laughed again. "I'll take the bet!" I said. I set the timer for five minutes. He laughed. I hopped up onto the counter and leaned back against the cabinets. "I'm tired." I said. "Well, wake up. We have a movie to finish." He said laughing. I didn't say anything. I closed my eyes. "I wish I was braver." He said. "What do you mean?" I asked. "If I was brave, I would walk over ot you right now and kiss you." He said. I opened my eyes. "I wish you were braver too." I said. "Is that so?" He asked. "Yes." I said. "Ally, do you like me?" He asked. "Well, I know that I have a lot of fun with you. I'm not sure if I should start dating again yet though." I said, not even knowing if I was telling the truth or not. "Okay." He said. "Are you looking for someone to date?" I asked. "Um, no not really." He said. "What do you want?" I asked. "I'm not exactly sure. . ." He said. The timer went off. "Damn." I said laughing. "Set it for five more minutes." He said. I picked up the timer and set it for five more minutes. After about two minutes, we heard the bedroom door open. "Seven minutes?" Todd asked. We both started laughing. Christopher walked into the kitchen. He gave me a weird look. "So, seven minutes." I said laughing. "Shut up." He said opening the liquor cabinet again. He pulled out a bottle of wine. "We're drinking it. I don't care what you say." He said. "So, seven minutes was long enough for her?" I asked laughing. "That was for me." He said. "I'm not going to explain it to you." "I don't think I want to know." I said. "Yeah." He said leaving the kitchen. "Seven minutes. I win." Todd said. "Damn. I lost five bucks." I said, laughing. "Tell you what. I'll forget you owe me the five bucks if you let me kiss you right now." He said. "Honey, I've been waiting for you to kiss me." I told him. He walked over and started kissing me while I was sitting on the counter. I wrapped my legs around him. The timer buzzed, and we both jumped. We started laughing. I jumped off the counter. "The pizza should be done now." I said. I opened the oven and it looked done, so I pulled it out and set it down on the counter. "Now it has to cool off for a few minutes." I said. Christopher and the girl walked into the kitchen. "Can we have some of that?" He asked. "There is only enough for us. You can make another one though." I said. "This is Anna." He said. "Does she also go by Aubrey?" I asked. Anna giggled. "I'm not Aubrey." She said. "The who the hell is Aubrey?" I asked. "She's another girl on the cheerleading squad. Why do you keep mentioning her?" She asked. I looked at Christopher and he shook his head. "Just heard about her once. Christopher doesn't talk about many girls." I said. "Oh. Well, Aubrey's a slut." She said. "Okay, let's stop talking about her." Christopher said. I grabbed the pizza with a pot holder and we went to the bedroom. "So, apparently my brother saw two girls today. What a dork." I said. "A Player." Todd said, taking a piece of pizza, and sitting on the floor. "OUCH! It's hot!" He said. I laughed, and handed him a plate. "I guess." I said. We started the movie while we ate our pizza. When we were done eating about half way through the movie there was a knock on the door. "Hold on." I said to Todd. He paused the movie, and I got up to answer the door. Anna was standing there. "Can I ask you something." She whispered. "Sure." I said, stepping out into the hall. "Is he seeing Aubrey?" She asked. "We don't talk about that stuff, so honestly I have no idea." I said. "Okay, just checking." She said, "Cause she just called him and he stepped outside to talk to her." "Oh." I said. "Thanks." She said smiling and walked away. "Oh my god." I said closing the door.

I guess I was hoping things would work out, and not be just about sex. Aparently I was wrong though. I sighed, and drove home. My mom was in the kitchen stuffing some envelopes for her Volunteer work with the local Fire Dept. She along with some of the neighbors helped raise money for the Fire and Police Dept's every year. Grandpa used to be a Fireman, so we always liked to help out.
"Hey honey!" She said when she saw me.
"Hi mom. Need some help?" I asked.
"Yes, that would be wonderful." She said, and smiled. I sat down across from her at the table and started putting stamps on envelopes.
"How are things?" She asked smiling.
I sighed, "Oh they're okay."
"Todd?" She asked.
I shrugged my shoulders. "I'm sorry about that, Mom." I said.
"It's fine." She said.
"It really wasn't like that." I said.
"No need to explain, sweetie." She said, "That's your private life."
"Well, I didn't do anything with Todd." I told her. "I just want you to know that."
She just looked at me and smiled. "Mom!" Christopher shouted walking into the kitchen.
"What?" She asked, not looking up.
"I'm going to a movie with Aubrey." He said.
"Aubrey?" She asked, "The cheerleader?"
He rolled his eyes, "Yes."
"Well, have fun. If you are going out after the movie, call me." She said.
"Fine." He told her and walked off.
"Why do you let him talk to you like that?" I asked her.
"It's a phase. You went through the same one with your father if I recall." She said.
"Yeah, I guess." I told her. She just smiled at me.
"You are putting the stamps on upside down dear." She said. I looked down, and sure enough, the last 10 or so were upside down. I started laughing.
"I guess I am distracted!" I said.
She laughed, "What's on your mind?"
"Todd I guess." I said.
"What about him? If you don't mind me asking." She said.
"He told me he liked me and I kind of freaked out. I feel bad." I said.
"Do you like him?" She asked smiling.
I shrugged my shoulders. "I know I at least want to still be his friend."
She took the envelopes from me. "I'll finish these up. You can go ahead and rest." She said smiling.
I sighed, "Okay. Thanks." I went to my room and called Todd right away.
"Hey." He said.
"Hey. I'm sorry about last night. I guess I sort of freaked out for no reason." I said.
"It's okay." He said.
"No it isn't okay. I'm really sorry." I said again.
"Apology accepted." He said.
"I guess I just didn't know what to say back." I told him.
"You didn't have to say anything. I just had to tell you how I felt." He said.
"Well, I'm glad you did." I told him.
"You are?" He asked, sounding confused.
"Yes, I am. I prefer everything to be out in the open and honest." I said.
"Is Alex okay?" He asked.
"Yeah. He's feeling a lot better." I said.
"That's good." He said.
"You won't beleive who I ran into at the grocery store this morning." I said.
"Who?"
I started laughing. "Goose!"
"Really?" He asked laughing.
"Yes!"
"What did he say to you?" He asked.
"He acted all weird and nervous." I said.
"Ha! How funny!" He said.
"He walked into a ladies cart and she yelled at him!" I said.
He laughed, "Oh that Goose cracks me up."
I started laughing. "He needs to come up with a nickname that sounds better."
"Goose fits him." He said.
I laughed, "I guess!"
"Can I come over? I'll bring over Neverending Story or something." He said.
"Yes!"
"Wow." He said.
"What?"
He laughed, "Nothing. You just sound excited."
"I am! I am in a good mood!" I said giggling.
"I know that running into Goose totally made your day, but I am not Goose. I will never be Goose. I don't want to be your Goose stand in." He said.
I started laughing really hard. "Shut up and come over."
"Be there in a few." He said.
I couldn't stop giggling about goose.
"Ally! Todd is here!" I heard my mom yell. I got up to go get him, and I heard my dad yell, "Todd? I want to talk to him!"
"Oh shit." I said, running out. My dad was already there, shaking Todd's hand.
"You seem like a respectable young man." My dad said. Todd just nodded, still shaking my dad's hand. He looked nervous, then I realized my dad had a pretty good grip on his hand and wasn't letting go.
"My baby says you are just friends, but I know guys a little better then that. Do anything to hurt her, and you have me to answer too." He said. Todd gulped and nodded his head. "What was that?" My dad asked.
"Yes sir!" Todd shouted.
"Wow. Good yes sir. Strong hand shake too." My dad said.
"I was in ROTC in Highschool sir." Todd said.
"Well, you aren't anymore, no need to call me sir. You can go now. Stay here over night again though, and you have to answer to me." My dad said, finally letting go of Todd's hand.
"DAD!" I shouted.
"What? You are still my baby girl." He said, and left.
"Mom!" I said. She shrugged.
"He's your father." She said, and walked away.
"Oh my god. I'm sorry Todd." I said. He started laughing.
"Your dad scared the shit out of me!" he said.
"I'm sorry." I said laughing. We went to my room and I shut the door, locking it.
"Your Dad is scary." He said.
"Yeah, good thing he never met Alex. Shit." I said.
"Your Dad would have killed him." He said.
"I know." I said laughing.
"I brought a couple movies." He said setting down his backpack.
"Which ones?" I asked.
"Some silly ones we use to watch." He said.
"Yay!" I said excited. He sat on the floor and opened his backpack. I jumped on the bed and scooted to the edge of the bed so I could see.
"Ghostbusters, Neverending Story 2, Bill And Ted's Excellent Adventure and The Ninja Turtles movie." He said.
"Whichever one you want." I said smiling. He put the movies down and turned his head facing me. His face was not even a foot away from mine. "How about Ghostbusters?" He asked. He was staring at me and he looked like he was in a daze.
"Ghostbusters is fine." I said.
He nodded, still staring at me. He scratched his head and turned away. "Okay, Ninja Turtles it is." He said jumped up.
I started laughing.
"What?" He asked confused.
"Nothing." I said. He turned the movie on and I grabbed a pillow. I propped it under my head. He sat down at the end of the bed and the movie started.
"Chris and I used to watch this movie all the time when we were kids!" I laughed.
"Really?" Todd asked.
"Yeah. You don't have to sit all the way at the end of the bed. You can lay down you know." I said.
"Sorry." Todd said.
"About what?" I asked.
"I don't know. I guess I'm still a little shakin up over your dad!" He said. I just laughed.
"Don't worry about him." I said.
"Yeah, says you. My hand still hurts." He said.
"Just come here. You are fine." I told him. He smiled, and sat behind me.
"So, which one did you want to be?" I asked.
"What?"
"Which Ninja Turtle did you want to be?" I asked again.
"I don't know." He said.
"Yes you do." I said.
He laughed, "Donatello."
"And why?" I asked.
"I don't know."
"Yes you do." I said laughing.
"He just looks the coolest." He said.
"I see." I said.
He scooted closer to me and layed down on his back. "They can all kick some major ass." He said.
I smiled at him.
"What?" He asked.
I shook my head and looked back at the TV.
"Are you thinking about Goose again? Cause I can call him and have him come over." He said.
I looked at him and laughed. "Shut up about Goose." I said.
He started staring at me again.
"Yes?" I asked.
"You're eyes are so pretty." He said.
"Thank you." I said looking away.
"They're like this really cool green." He said, "Look at me again."
"No." I said. I started to feel nervous.
"Yeah, look at me. Please." He said.
"No!" I said laughing.
"Do you hate compliments or something?" He asked.
"No. I just don't know how to respond." I said.
"Just look at me." He said. I turned and looked in his eyes.
"You have cool eyes too." I said. He smiled, and then kissed me.
"Was that too far?" He asked, stopping.
"Not far enough." I said, and kissed him back.
He wrapped his arms around me and held me close to him. I realized that I did have a lot more fun with someone my own age. I put my hand under his shirt and rubbed his back. "Me and Dad are going out for the night!" Mom shouted. Todd jumped up and stood near the end of the bed.
"Okay!" I yelled.
"Doesn't mean you can have sleepovers!" Dad shouted.
I rolled my eyes. "Okay, see you tomorrow!" I shouted back.
"Love you!" Mom yelled.
"Love you too!" I said.
"Your brother should be home in about an hour!" Mom shouted.
We heard the front door close.
I started laughing. "What was that?" I asked.
He laughed, "I was afraid someone was going to come in."
"I locked it, weirdo." I said.
"I know. Sorry. I guess I'm a little nervous too." He said.
"Come back here." I said, pausing the movie. He walked over and layed back down next to me.
"Why did you pause the movie?" He asked.
"We can watch it later." I said, raising my eyebrows.
"Oh, later. Okay." He said, winking. I started laughing.
"Anyone here?!" Christopher shouted.
"Shh." I said.
I heard him walking down the hall. "Ally?" He asked. I heard a girl giggling. I walked to the door and opened it. Christopher was standing there with a girl. She was tall and skinny with long blond hair. "Where is Mom and Dad?" He asked peaking into my room. "Hey." Todd said.
"Hi." Christopher said.
"They are gone for the night." I said.
"Is he staying over?" Christopher asked.
"Is she staying over?" I asked.
He looked at her. "I can." She said smiling.
He looked at me for approval. "I don't care what you do." I said.
"Promise you won't tell Mom and Dad if she stays over?" He asked.
"If you promise not to tell them if Todd stays over." I said.
"Deal." He said. He grabbed the girls hand and ran to his room shutting the door. She was giggling the whole time.
"I'm staying over?" Todd asked.
"Only if you want to." I told him.
"Oh, I want to." He said. I smiled and layed back in bed. "But, I'm still a little afraid of your dad."
"Don't be. He's a sweetheart really. Besides, I'm almost 22, I think I can have someone over." I told him.
"Well, in that case, I wouldn't dream of leaving you." Todd said.
"Good. Kiss me again, you are good at it." I told him.
He laughed. "Are you going to see Alex again?" He asked.
"I have no idea. We won't be trying to date again. I know that for sure." I said.
"I'm hungry." He said.
"Oh, uh. We can go make a frozen pizza or something." I said.
"That sounds good. Then we can finish the movie." He said.
"Uh, yeah. Okay." I said smiling.
He smiled and we went out to the kitchen. I turned on the oven and took a pizza out of the freezer. Christopher walked out to the kitchen. "Can I ask you something?" He asked Todd. Todd looked at me weird and I shrugged my shoulders.
"Yeah." He said.
"Outside." Christopher said.
"Okay. . ." Todd said. They went ouside. I was afraid Christopher was trying to embaras me or something. They walked back in a few seconds later. Christopher went running down the hall. "Your brother just asked me if I had any condoms." He whispered.
"What?!" I asked loudly.
Christopher walked by us. "I gotta run to the store real quick." He said as he opened the door. "Be right back." He said.
"Oh my god." I said.
"You don't have any?" I asked.
"Do I need some?" He asked me. I started laughing so hard.
"I can't believe my little brother just asked you for a condom!" I said. "And know you don't need one." I told him. I got kind of a dissapointed look on his face. "Because I'm covered in that department." I said.
"Oh." He said, smiling. I started laughing again. "What?"
"Boys!" I said.
He just laughed.
I put the pizza in the over and sat down at the table. A few minutes later, Christopher came running in the front door. He opened the liquor cabinet and started looking through it.
"Christopher!" I shouted.
"Who cares. Mom and Dad aren't home." He said.
"Are you giving her drinks so she has sex with you?" I asked.
He stood up. "What?" He asked.
"Stay away from the alcohol." I said.
"You suck." He said closing the cabinet.
"Be careful please." I said.
"I've been doing it for years. I think I know how to be careful." He said.
"Uh-huh? Years? Honey, 16 was only a few months ago." I said. He just glared at me, and stormed off to his room. I started laughing again.
"What a dork! Five bucks say's he's back out in five minutes because he's too quick." I said, laughing.
"You are mean! I'll give him ten minutes." Todd said, and I laughed again.
"I'll take the bet!" I said. I set the timer for five minutes.
He laughed. I hopped up onto the counter and leaned back against the cabinets. "I'm tired." I said.
"Well, wake up. We have a movie to finish." He said laughing.
I didn't say anything. I closed my eyes. "I wish I was braver." He said.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"If I was brave, I would walk over ot you right now and kiss you." He said.
I opened my eyes. "I wish you were braver too." I said.
"Is that so?" He asked.
"Yes." I said.
"Ally, do you like me?" He asked.
"Well, I know that I have a lot of fun with you. I'm not sure if I should start dating again yet though." I said, not even knowing if I was telling the truth or not.
"Okay." He said.
"Are you looking for someone to date?" I asked.
"Um, no not really." He said.
"What do you want?" I asked.
"I'm not exactly sure. . ." He said. The timer went off. "Damn." I said laughing.
"Set it for five more minutes." He said. I picked up the timer and set it for five more minutes. After about two minutes, we heard the bedroom door open. "Seven minutes?" Todd asked.
We both started laughing. Christopher walked into the kitchen. He gave me a weird look. "So, seven minutes." I said laughing.
"Shut up." He said opening the liquor cabinet again. He pulled out a bottle of wine. "We're drinking it. I don't care what you say." He said.
"So, seven minutes was long enough for her?" I asked laughing.
"That was for me." He said. "I'm not going to explain it to you."
"I don't think I want to know." I said.
"Yeah." He said leaving the kitchen.
"Seven minutes. I win." Todd said.
"Damn. I lost five bucks." I said, laughing.
"Tell you what. I'll forget you owe me the five bucks if you let me kiss you right now." He said.
"Honey, I've been waiting for you to kiss me." I told him. He walked over and started kissing me while I was sitting on the counter. I wrapped my legs around him. The timer buzzed, and we both jumped.
We started laughing. I jumped off the counter. "The pizza should be done now." I said. I opened the oven and it looked done, so I pulled it out and set it down on the counter. "Now it has to cool off for a few minutes." I said.
Christopher and the girl walked into the kitchen. "Can we have some of that?" He asked.
"There is only enough for us. You can make another one though." I said.
"This is Anna." He said.
"Does she also go by Aubrey?" I asked.
Anna giggled. "I'm not Aubrey." She said.
"The who the hell is Aubrey?" I asked.
"She's another girl on the cheerleading squad. Why do you keep mentioning her?" She asked.
I looked at Christopher and he shook his head. "Just heard about her once. Christopher doesn't talk about many girls." I said.
"Oh. Well, Aubrey's a slut." She said.
"Okay, let's stop talking about her." Christopher said.
I grabbed the pizza with a pot holder and we went to the bedroom.
"So, apparently my brother saw two girls today. What a dork." I said.
"A Player." Todd said, taking a piece of pizza, and sitting on the floor. "OUCH! It's hot!" He said. I laughed, and handed him a plate.
"I guess." I said. We started the movie while we ate our pizza. When we were done eating about half way through the movie there was a knock on the door.
"Hold on." I said to Todd. He paused the movie, and I got up to answer the door. Anna was standing there.
"Can I ask you something." She whispered.
"Sure." I said, stepping out into the hall.
"Is he seeing Aubrey?" She asked.
"We don't talk about that stuff, so honestly I have no idea." I said.
"Okay, just checking." She said, "Cause she just called him and he stepped outside to talk to her."
"Oh." I said.
"Thanks." She said smiling and walked away.
"Oh my god." I said closing the door.
