The movie was over. Ronnie turned the lights on and was turning the TV off along with the DVD player. “Was the movie any good?” Ronnie asked.
“It was.” Lacy lies.
“I am glad that you decided to hang with us again. Were you feeling okay when you wanted space?” Ronnie asked Lacy.
“I… just wanted to do other things. Not in a mean way.” Lacy tells Ronnie. “I needed some time hanging with Alana because she helps me with personal girl issues.” Lacy and Robert stood up.
“Oh.” Ronnie went over to Lacy. “I just hope you’re okay.” Ronnie touched her hand. Lacy just stared. She felt like she wasn’t sure what to do because Robert seemed to be getting jealous again. He was glaring but didn’t say a word. “I really like you.” Ronnie brought Lacy over to him and hugs her. “A whole lot.” Hearing that made Lacy feel uncomfortable.
“How can I even break the news to him?!” Lacy thought to herself. She gently pushes herself away from Ronnie. He stares at her confused.
“Is something the matter?” Ronnie asked. He wasn’t for sure if he done something to get Lacy upset.
“No. It’s just… well… I feel uncomfortable because I am…I am having my monthly girl thing.” Lacy lies. She actually wasn’t at the moment because she already did that month but she ended up lying to Ronnie because she didn’t want to hurt his feelings.
“Oh, I am sorry. You probably aren’t in the mood to do a lot of things because of that. Are you?” Ronnie asks her. She just nods slowly. “Hey, Lacy I got something for you when I was hanging out with Max the other day. Be right back.” Ronnie took off to his bedroom. Lacy looked at Robert.
“I don’t know how am I going to break the news to him. Do you?” Lacy asked for Robert’s advice.
“The longer you put it off, the more hurt he would be.” Robert tells Lacy. She looks down.
“I know but at the same time… I am scared to even tell him because I don’t want to hurt him.” Robert touches Lacy’s shoulders.
“Lacy! If you don’t tell him then we aren’t really together, you know that right?!” Robert seemed to be angry. Lacy noticed he was. She didn’t want to get him angry and hurt Ronnie’s feelings.
“I…I know. Robert please just give me a little more time. I promise I’ll tell him soon.” Lacy just wanted a little more time.
“Alright, but I am warning you now. The longer you wait, Ronnie is going to be hurt more.” Robert lets go of Lacy’s shoulders and left the living room. Ronnie came into the living room and saw Robert going upstairs.
“Where’s he going?” Ronnie asks Lacy.
“I am not sure. I guess he’s tired?” Lacy wasn’t sure how to respond to Ronnie’s question. Ronnie walks over to Lacy and hands her a music CD.
“I bought this thinking of you. You like this band right?” Ronnie asks. Lacy looked at the music CD. It was one of her favorite bands.
“I do. Why did you get this for me?” Lacy asked. She was starting to feel even more guilty.
“Because I love you.” Ronnie said it proudly with a smile. He was blushing too. Lacy blushes a little.
“Ronnie I love you too.” Lacy said. She felt like she did care a lot about Ronnie. She knew she felt love towards him, but when it came between Robert and Ronnie, she liked Robert more. She loved Robert more. Something about him was the one. Lacy sat down on the sofa once again and sits the music CD on the coffee table.
“Um… This is a weird question but did you ever have feelings for any other girl before? Before you met me?” Lacy asked. She wasn’t sure why she wanted to ask Ronnie a question like that.
“Well… not really. I felt like… I don’t know. When I first saw you that I really liked you.” Ronnie admits. “Why do you ask me that?”
“No reason… I think…” Lacy stood up again. “I think I want to go check on Robert.” Lacy left the living room and went upstairs.
“I feel like something is going on but what is it?” Ronnie thought to himself. He wasn’t sure what it was but he felt like something was off. “I feel like something is different between both Robert and Lacy. To me, they been acting strange lately.” Ronnie sat down on the sofa. “I went out and bought a music CD for Lacy because I thought that she was upset. I feel like something is wrong. I want to know what it is but at the same time I feel like I don’t want to know.”
Lacy went into Robert’s bedroom. “Wouldn’t Ronnie wonder why you’re in here alone with me?” Robert asked. He was sitting on the bed.
“I just told him I was going to check on you.”
“Come here.” Robert tells her. She walks over to him and he brought her over to him. She sat on his lap. He used one arm to help her balance.
“You’re birthday is coming up soon. What do you want?”
“You.”
“For real.” Lacy laughed a little.
“I want you to tell Ronnie the truth. Tell him how you feel. That’s what I want.” Robert felt like it was all he wanted at the moment.
“But he will be hurt. I can’t bear to see him hurt right now.” Lacy looks down.
“He’s a big boy. He will sure in the hell be upset but look, if he ever thinks about doing something dumb I’ll knock shit in him again.”
“Knock some in me to confess the truth.” Lacy brought her face close to Robert’s.
“Get the hell off me.” Robert tells her. She got off his lap.
“What?” Lacy was confused with Robert but he stood up and was staring at her. Lacy blushes at him. “Damn, you really are maturing.” Robert pushes her on the bed. She was confused but her heart was beating fast. Robert laid on her. His face was now close to hers.
“I want you to be mine.” Robert said and kisses her. She kisses his lips back.
“I am yours. I am all yours.” Lacy thought to herself. “I don’t belong to Ronnie too anymore. Just you.” After a few kisses, they part lips.
“Do you only belong to me now or have you been having second thoughts?”
“I haven’t.” Lacy admits. “I want to be alone with you so bad! But Ronnie will be hurt. We need to make up something.”
“Why can’t you fucking tell him?!” Robert yanked on a part of her hair.
“OW! You fucking try being me! Telling him that!” Lacy yelled back at Robert.
“If I was you, I would’ve told him already!”
“I doubt that! You liar!” Lacy and him seemed to be mad at each other. “Get off me!”
“I will.” Robert kisses her again. She blushed. He moves his lips from hers quickly. He then got off the bed. She sat up.
“I am such an idiot.” Lacy says.
“I agree.” Robert chuckled a little. She glares at him. Ronnie was standing outside in the hall near the bedroom. He heard both of them what they said.
“What a bitch.” Ronnie mumbles and walks back downstairs.
“D-Did you hear something?” Lacy asked Robert. She heard something. She actually heard Ronnie but wasn’t for sure what she heard. Robert walked over to the door.
“What do you mean?” Robert peaked out the door and didn’t see anything. He looked back at Lacy. “There’s no one there.”
“Oh… Maybe I just imagined it.” Lacy looked down. She was hoping that Ronnie didn’t hear the both of them. Ronnie went back into the living room.
“I don’t even know why I bought her this.” Ronnie picked up the music CD. He dropped it to the floor and steps on it. Crushing the CD case. He felt like he was furious with the both of them. He then went to the entrance hall. Opened the front door and slammed it loudly.
“What the hell?” Robert heard the slam.
“That doesn’t sound good…” Lacy started to feel worried.
