HeyLynn, if I can get this door open, would you like a dark chocolate sourdough pretzel?”As tired as she was, Lynngave him a kind smile and replied ...layfully, “Sure! Dark chocolate sourdough is my all-time favorite!”Chicothough was not in a playful mood. “Moment of truth, Toro,” he said slowly. “We surrender our guns, Uno will kill us for sure if he gets the chance. We put our guns on the table, there’s no turning back.” He took a deep breath. “Damn. I was hoping...”Toro noticed how. Reservations at 7:30.’I smiled, remembering last night.“NO! Think that’s you, you’re talking about. Be on time this time.”‘Try, do my best,’ I answered her. There were three of us in the store that day, so it shouldn’t be a problem to leave a little early.At six I told Sandy and Derek that I had a hot date so had to bug out a little early. They both knew Dani so knew who my ‘hot’ date was. They didn’t know we were going with our friends, Jenny and Richard, though, so only knew about half of the. We did that for two months. She had arrived in April, so between then and graduation, Jake was her nurse. After school was out, I was able to ease his burden.Then, two weeks early, her water broke and we were off to the hospital. Being a smart girl, when she had decided to go to California and realize her dream of getting pregnant with Tut's baby, she had also gotten herself a health care policy that covered pregnancy and child birth. She said that was cheaper than paying the hospital directly. ...I did nothing further. She went back to her neutral look. After class I saw her at her wall locker. I walked up and she saw me and turned her back to me. I quietly stood right behind her. Soon she started looking around to see where I was. I moved to keep out of her line of sight. I tapped her on the shoulder. She jumped big and whipped around to see me standing there. Her face turned pink but no smile. I said: “Just because your beautiful, doesn’t mean you can push me around!” That got her.
