You wear me like a locket around your throat

"You what!" I gasped jumping off the couch. Spencer nodded a wide smile appearing on \
his face.
"I actually talked to him! And he flirted back! Nikki! Oh Jesus I'm just so excited!" Spencer
beamed.
"So, tell me all the details sunny boy." I smiled sitting down on his lap. He giggled and his
cheeks turned a light shade of pink.
"Well, I was walking through the halls. I saw him and he dropped his books. I helped him
pick them up, we walked a little. He has the most amazing smile in the world and ah! He
said he would definitely see me around!
It was just one of those small conversations that shouldn't even show up on the radar But it
was just so perfect." He told me all in one breath before finally gasping and placing his
hands over his heart.
"I am so happy for you Spence." I smiled and wrapped my arms around him. "You proved
me wrong. I said he wasn't gay and yet here you are telling me this fucking awesome story!"
I laughed. He nodded and we sat
against the couch and started watching the movie that we had abandoned when we first
started talking.
"I hate work." Ryan said in a sing song voice from the top of a ladder while hanging up
some new posters.
"Me too." I replied. The doors were locked and it was about 11 PM. Ryan and I had decided
to lock up letting the girl who usually locks up go home early for a change.
"So, Joys back at my house." He announced stapling a corner of the paper into the wall. "Or,
well I'm more like in her house. It's not exactly safe at my house and I couldn't just let her be
there alone."
"Oh really? I knew you guys talked at the mall but I didn't think that much progress was
made." I stated picking up a box of new Cd's that had to be placed on the shelve.
"Yeah, I guess shes just ready to finally deal with some of this shit. I kind of don't know if I
can really forgive her all the way though. I mean I love her and I ant to help her but this whole
deal has kind of broken our trust. I know people take death in different ways but I still just
cant really wrap my mind around that fact." He jumped off the ladder and walked over
towards me. My heart fluttered a bit at his words. I liked Joy and all but I ha to agree with
him. That was a bit nuts.
"I know what you mean." I smiled dropping the now empty box and kicking it into the air.
"Can we just have fun right now? It seems like I haven't had fun in ages." He laughed
jumping in front of me and kicking the box into the air again.
"Well Mr. Ross, I think we can manage that." I hopped the counter and set in a 'something
Corporate' CD and skipped to 'Punk Rock Princess' turning the volume up way past what it
should have been set to.
"Dance with me Ryan." I asked laughing as he threw the box up trying to catch it but ended
up tripping over a movie stand.
"Anytime darling." He picked himself up off the carpet and spun me around. We were both
terrible dancers but that made it all the more fun.
"Will you be my garage band king?" I asked him shouting over the music.
"Only if you were my punk rock princess." He replied bringing me in close before spinning
me out again.
OK, just do it. When he spins you back in, kiss him.
He spun me back in and crashed his lips into mine.
Well, that definitely works too
