"Keep talking like that I just may have to."
His words rang in my ear, and soon enough we were at it.
John flipped me over and laid me on the couch as he attacked my neck.
"John-" I breathed out.
It was overwhelming.
"John I—"
Then soon enough we both heard a car door slam from outside.

John looked through curtains, that were right above the couch.
"Shit shit shit." He huffed. He got up and started putting the liquor away.

I looked out the curtain too and I see Mimi getting groceries out the trunk.

I got up and ran towards his bedroom and hid under the bed.

Soon enough I hear the door rattling and John greeting Mimi.
"I was worried what was taking you so long!"
I slightly laugh just listening to John being phony.

"Put the groceries up and why is your fly unzipped?" I heard her say.
I started to get a little anxious I hoped John wouldn't get in trouble because of me.

"I went to take a wee." I heard him say.
I smirked thinking about what we were up to.

"Zip it up then. And did you wash your hands?" Mimi asked.

"Yes Mimi."

I felt something beside my arm, I went and grabbed whatever it was and looked at it.
It was porn. Look at this horny fucker.

Not too long I hear someone come up the steps.
I was crossing my fingers just hoping it was John.

"Cher where are ye?"
I was relieved to hear Johns voice.

I crawled out from under the bed with John's porn in hand.
"I was having a good read." I joked.

"Give me that!" John whisper shouted.
He snatched it from my hand and it hid it under his pillow.

I got out from under bed, and John shut his bedroom door.
"Mimi is right below us. So you have to leave the window quietly." John said as he tried to open the window carefully.

"What? No I want to spend the night here." I protested.
"Shh! I just said she is right below us. She has ears of a hound!" John whisper shouted again.

"John who are you talking to up there?" Mimi yelled from downstairs.

"No one Mimi I'm just singing a good tune!" John yelled back, and we both stood still waiting for her response.

"Well quiet it down up there!" She yelled back.

John looked back up to me.
"Look you have to go Cher, she'll find out sooner or later. I'll see you Monday at school." John winked at me playfully.

I was thinking about kissing his lips, I never really actually kissed John before. A real kiss.

Before he can say another word I locked my lips with him.
Johns hands roamed my lower back.

I broke away and went towards the window.
"Until Monday my friend." I said as I winked.

"Until Monday." John repeated.

"Wait Cher." John said as he stopped me in my tracks.

"What?"

"What are we?" John asked simply curious.

"It was just a kiss." I said as I shrugged my shoulders.

"Right. I like that better."

I took a 4 hour nap on the sofa when I got home.
When I woke up it was midnight and my mum still wasn't home thank God.

It was late and quite boring.
So I made my way upstairs to my room.
I plopped on the bed and tried to go back to sleep again, I just couldn't.

I sighed and got out of bed, in my short white night gown that I had changed into earlier. I put on my black leather boots and went outside.

I walked down the late night street alone, now I think about it is kind of a bad idea.

I kept walking, and spotted the park. I went across the street to the park and I saw a dark figure sitting down on one of the benches.

As I got closer I noticed he was around my age, he just sat there kind of gloomy.

"Hey." I said as I approached him

He jumped up.
"Don't do that at this time of night."
I got more of a good luck of his face and he was a pretty fair looking guy.

"What's your name?" I was bored and I wanted to strike up a conversation.

"Pete." He replied

Bloody hell another Pete bloke. I knew so many Pete's I couldn't keep count.

"Pete what?"

"Pete Best. What's yours?" He asked.

"Cherry." I responded as I crossed my arms.

"What's your last name?"

"Why do you want to know?" I was messing with the poor fellow.

"It's only fair, I gave you my last name."

"That's because I know so many Pete's. Do you know alot of Cherry's around here?" I asked teasing him a bit.

"Well alright then." He said as he shrugged.

I sighed and sat beside him.
"Baker."

"Oh you're Mrs. Baker daughter."
He smirked.

"Why does everyone seem to know my bloody mom and not me?"

That really bothered me alot.

"We only remember her because she always hangs around with the young lads and gives us free beer."

Pete said as he brought out a cigarette pack.

"Don't tell me you shagged her?"
I asked disgusted.

"No. Wouldn't even think of that. None of us find her attractive I mean she's kind of old.
Besides we only say those things to get free booze."
He said as he struck a match and lit his cig.

"Want one?" He smiled gesturing it to me.

"Yeah sure." I said as I grabbed one ciggie from the pack.
I put it between my lips. He struck a match and I leaned in closer.
As he lit it for me I felt him staring.

I looked up from my ciggie. And caught his stare. He quickly moved his eyes away threw the match out.

"Aren't you cold?" He asked.

"No." I was a little but I don't want to make him feel like he has to give me his jacket or some romantic shite.

"What are you doing at this time of night?" I asked.

"I could ask you the same thing."
