Can You Bang Like a Drummer Can?, chapter 3
"Tre you have to stop singing to my answering machine", I told him bluntly.
"But it's the only way I can get you to come to the phone", he explained.
"What about warning me before you start singing them?", I asked.
"Okay, okay I'll warn you", he mumbled.
"So how did you like our date?".
"It wasn't a date Tre".
"Yes it was... .WE CUDDLED... ".
"OMG YOU CUDDLED?", Mike let out hearing this since it was awfully loud.
"Shut up Michael", I told him walking with the phone upstairs.
"You okay sweetie?".
"Its Pippet".
"Okay honey".
"Stop doing that".
"Doing what sugar?".
"Pet names".
"Their not pet names their... ... ".
"What Tre? Go on tell me".
"Nothing, okay it's nothing".
"Ahhh okay, so we having a proper lesson tomorrow?".
"Ahh actually I was planning something. Ahh come along".
"Are you sure?".
"Yeah, yeah, bring your togs".
"Oh, no no no".
"Ahh yes yes yes... good night Pippet", and with that he hung up for the night. I put the phone down beside me and went under my covers falling asleep as quickly as I could.
-WITH BILLIE JOE AND KAYLEE-
The two were asleep together on the couch. Obviously they had talked about their problems and feelings and come to some sort of agreement. Billie Joe cuddled her closer nuzzling her gently. Kaylee smiled in her sleep rolling over a little. The weirdest thing about this couple was probably the fact that they could talk to each other in their sleep and that's exactly what they did.
"I love you Kaylee".
"Love you to Billie Joe".
"I don't wanna fight again".
"We wont I promise".
"Okay then".
For some reason this couple just seemed to understand each other for better or worse I'm not really sure, but all this was going to be tested the next day.
-THE NEXT DAY [afternoon time]-
"Mikey... .Mikey..Spikey Mikey", Cassie sang down the hall of the school.
"Yes princess?", he said shutting his locker door.
"Am I still coming over tonight?", she asked sweetly.
"Of course babe. Why wouldn't you be?", he asked smiling. There was something about Mike's smile that made Cassie weak at the knee's.
"Ahh no reason, we going?", she asked. He smiled again took her hand and walked her home.
"TRE I AM NOT WEARING THAT IT'S THE BEACH!!!", I squealed.
"It's a bikini", he whaled.
"Tre, the only reason you're taking me to the beach is so you can see me without a shirt on. If you wanted to that you should have taken Gym classes".
He smiled. He knew I had caught on.
"Your shirt doesn't need to come off", he told me plain and simply, "That's your choice".
"Fine then", I took the swim suit off him and walked into the bathroom putting it on and my boardies on. He tried to walk into the bathroom but I stopped him.
"You'll see at the beach", I told him closing the door behind me.
-SO LIKE 15 MINUTES LATER AT THE BEACH-
"First one to the water is king", Billie screamed in the most childish manner I had ever seen. Then again how am I to talk Jason and Tre both chased him in. I put the bags down on the sand, and slowly got into the water.
"Oh come on Pippet, you're no fun", Jason announced pulling me in.
"AHHH!!!".
"Pippet you really have to learn to squeal properly?", Jason informed me.
"Jason tell me exactly what a proper squeal is?". He did so.
"You sound like a dolphin on crack", I told him giggling. He laughed and pushed me over, making me sink a little. Maybe I should have taken this shirt off. I came back up to the surface and tried to pull the shirt off. I had a little help from someone once it came over my head.
"Uhh thanks... ."I said without knowing who it was.
"Its alright", Billie's voice said. I squealed.
"Now that's more like it", Jason announced again tackling Tre into the water.
"Oh, shit sorry BJ. You just scared me, that's all". He smiled.
"You don't mind?".
"Nah, dude you're my like best friend".
"K, sweet, then I'll tighten your strings for you, they're getting kinda loose", he explained tightening up the back one.
"I'm a shark I'm a shark, SHARK, SHARK, SHARK", Tre sang before diving under water.
"Oh god", BJ let out before Tre scared some little kids off. He swam back over and laughed with us. I guess it was kinda funny. Then again he was a tubby shark. They could have sat on him and he would have swum then along.
"Ohh no shirt huh?", Tre let out. I blushed.
"Ahh yeah, its dragging me down", I explained. He nodded and watched Billie tighten the strings. Tre had a look in his eyes I had never seen before. Jealously? No why would Tre be jealous. Ahhh. Billie's closeness. I stepped away a little and swam over to him.
"Tre don't go any deeper".
"Why not?".
"Please".
Tre kept swimming out.
"Tre not to far please, I don't like deep water". He stopped reluctantly and came back to me like a puppy dog.
"What do you like?".
"Uhhhh!".
"Thought so".
"No wait please", my arms found their way around him. He unenthusiastically stopped and looked down at me. I awkwardly moved closer to him in the water.
"Ahh I've never done this before", I explained shyly.
"Done what?", he asked angelically. His eyes smiled and he giggled a little. I bit my lip.
"You know", I let out timidly again.
"What?", he asked again pushing my fringe out of the way. I went closer a little more. Eventually he got the idea. He leant in closer. With in a few seconds we kissed. I don't know why people made a big deal out of it, it didn't seem like anything fantastic. It was definitely over rated.
"I swear if you tell Mike you are dead got it". He nodded and smiled.
"First kiss". I nodded and smiled. We hugged again. A little more intimately.
"I love you".
... ..damn what was I going to say to that... ...
"But it's the only way I can get you to come to the phone", he explained.
"What about warning me before you start singing them?", I asked.
"Okay, okay I'll warn you", he mumbled.
