the
bitchiest girls in school. Maybe he wanted to get in on all the
action, I don’t know. So I asked him, once.
The way he reacted was something
new to me (remember, first boyfriend newbie here), his eyes grew
wildly big, the nerve on the side of his jaw pulsated with anger,
his hands quiver with such velocity, I was certain if I placed a
beaker of water in his hand he could extract H2O out of it and I’m
pretty confident that’s not possible. God. A simple NO would have
sufficed.
But, that day he was his old self
again, so I pushed the uneasy feeling out of my head and hyped
myself up for the party.
“ So, I heard that Tony’s dad
actually bought the liquor for the party, and he has like this
butler hiding in the bushes outside the front door. He’s been
ordered to not let anyone drive drunk, and tackle you to the ground
if you don’t hand over your keys.”
“ Tony’s dad is a frat boy by
heart. He buy’s liquor to all of Tony’s parties.”
“ Really. How come no one ever gave
me any?” I asked.
“ Come on babe… You know I couldn’t
let my little munchkin consume anything stronger than an O’Doul’s.”
he laughed and I knew exactly why.
“ I can’t believe I actually
believed you, when you said O’Doul’s had alcohol in them.” I
smacked him on the shoulder, and I crumpled further down in my
seat.
“ I can’t believe you actually
thought you were drunk.” He said through a howling laugh. “Remember
the last time you got drunk off O’Doul’s?”
“ Shut up! Don’t remind
me.”
“ You came up to me, in front of
all my friends, you looked so fearless, determined and extremely
adorable that night. Like a cute drunk kitten getting ready pounce.
You told me you were in love with me. And then afterwards you tried
to take it back by saying you were drunk and that you didn’t know
what you were say…”
“ Yeah, but you wouldn’t let me
take it back, texting me pictures you secretly took of that night,
and telling me that there was no take backsies.”
I stared at him, lips puckered,
eyes narrow and arms crossed.
“ Awe come on, babe. There’s no
take backs, not when you looked so adorable.” A loud rippled
escaped his lips.
“ Oh.My.God. and when you finally
told me O’Doul’s were none alcoholic beers. I thought I was going
to die, I was so mortified.”
“ As you should be. I mean, wobbling
around, slurring everyone’s name. But, don’t worry. I told them I
had spiked your drinks, when you weren’t looking.”
“ Awe, you made yourself look like a
sick pervert, for me?”
“ Damn right!” he
shouted.
“ Why did you do that anyways? I
mean… stop me from drinking all those times. Jason told me that you
bought a six pack of O’Doul’s just for me whenever we went to a
party together or when we all hanged out in that clearing in the
center of the woods. You know I’ve always wanted to ask you
that.”
For a while, Morgan stayed quite,
too focused on the road that was known for having only one or two
cars pass by every night. I thought I had said something to upset
him, maybe he didn’t want Jason to tell me the truth.
I was unnervingly fluctuating in my
seat, and my hands were fidgeting on my lap when he said. “Cause,
even back then. I knew you were going to be mine, and that I just
needed to figure out a way to get out of the friends zone. I knew
you liked someone.” He gloats. “I didn’t want you getting wasted
and confessing to someone else, I thought for sure, Mandy was going
to tell you but she didn’t. I never once thought I would be the
lucky guy you would have confess to.”
I stayed quite for the longest
time, trying to calm the overwhelming bliss his words generated in
me
I notice that a gleaming strand of
Morgan's golden blonde hair had spilled on to his face. I slowly
brushed it away as he drove through the open metal gates leading to
the front of Tony’s house. He turns to me, and at that moment, one
of the many rods lighting our
bitchiest girls in school. Maybe he wanted to get in on all the
