Chapter Twenty

When we went upstairs to my room, I showed him my foot.
"Why did you do that?"
"I told you that I wanted too.. I don't really see the big deal."
"I just don't get why you needed that on your foot."
"You don't like it?"
"Its nice and I know you always wanted it, I just don't see the point in tattoos."
"I know.."
"Why did you not tell me? Actually, better question.. why did Brooks take you to get it?"
"Because I knew you didn't want me to get it and he was here so I asked him to come with me."
"He was here?"
"Yeah.. he came to see how I was.. we are friends."
"Friends.. right." He said and then he just stood up and looked out my bedroom window. After a few minutes I reached up for him to come over to the bed where I was sitting.
"Sidney.." I said grabbing his hands. "I'm sorry that you are mad about my foot."
"I'm not mad."
"Well I should have told you and I'm sorry that Brooks took me. But I don't have any feelings for Brooks. You are the boy I want to be with, so don't get mad at me when I hang out with boys because I will always come back to you and I will never cheat on you.. ever." I said wrapping my arms around his waist. I looked up at him. "You could help you know.. I mean I am crippled and your lips are kind far up there." I said pulling him closer to me. Then we kissed, like our first real kiss since deciding to give it another try.
"this brace is going to make things interesting." He said.
"I know.. cause I can't stand by myself.. I basically can't move." I said and he sat down next to me. I moved over and placed my hand on his chest and kissed him again. "Then again.. it might be nice." I said smiling.
"Josephine! You better not be showering!!" My mom yelled from downstairs.
"I'm not. I'm talking to Sidney!" I yelled back.
"My mom is like paranoid about me showering." I said.
"What?"
"She thinks that I'm going to like kill myself trying to do it since I have to take off the brace. I don't really know what she thinks I'm going to do.. I can't bend my knee."
"Well.. you know I could volunteer to help you shower.. I mean its the least I could do." He said trying to be so serious.
"Oh yeah, I'm sure they would love that!" I said laughing. We just layed on my bed for awhile. "Sid, I am sorry that I went Brooks." I said turning to him.
"I know, I'm sorry I freaked out about your tattoo.. Its not a big deal."
"I wanted you to come with me.. I just knew you wouldn't want too."
"I know, babe."
"We are going to have to find some things to do while I'm in this brace cause I can't do like anything."
"Lots of movie and games nights."
"My favorite!" I said smiling.
"I know, you are going to heaven."
"Shut up, you will have fun too!"
"Yeah, with you I always have fun."
"you are just too cute." I resting my head on his chest.
How did the surgery go?
"Who was that?" Sidney asked when I got the text.
"Simon."
"What did he want?"
"Wanted to ask about the surgery."
Fine.. painful. Can't walk on it for two months.. so no soccer.
That's rough. Sorry.
"Why did you text him back?"
"Because he is my friend. I mean he is kind of arrogant, but he's my friend and he's on the soccer team.. I kind of have to be nice to him." I said and Sidney just got this look on his face. "Sidney, seriously. I do not want to have this talk everytime I talk to a boy. Who am I laying with right now? Who is the boy that I can't get enough of?" I said kissing his neck.
"I know.. I know. I'm sorry.. its just hard."
"You think its hard for you.. Sidney every girl wants to be in your bed."
"Thats not true." He said laughing.
"really, Sidney.. I'm pretty sure I could walk down the street of Pittsburgh in seven out of ten girls on the street would date you."
"I would like to see you walk anywhere right now."
"Oh comical are we? You know I'm right."
"Well good thing I only have eyes for one girl." He said sitting up and kissing my nose.
"Really. .my nose Sidney?"
"haha I love your nose.. its like a cute little button."
"Yeah.. every girl wants to be called cute from their boyfriend." I said sitting up.
"Okay, first.. I'm glad you just called me your boyfriend. Second, I think you are more than just cute." He said sitting up and kissing my neck.
"Okay, okay..Stop." I said laughing.
"What?"
"When people kiss my neck, I giggle. I get ticklish."
"Yeah, you would." He said.
"So can you hang tonight?"
"Yeah.. game tomorrow. And after we were going to go Colby's new house.. will you come?"
"Yeah.. as long as I have a chair to sit on." I said pointing to my leg.
"Of course, my dear."
"So what movie tonight?"
"Do you want to go to the movie store?" He asked me.
"Yeah. but you pick. Nothing scary unless you plan on sleeping in my room tonight."
"Well if I thought your parents would allow that, I would totally try that."
"Yeah, stupid parents.. they ruin everything!" I said laughing.
