Like A Phoenix From the Ashes

Disclaimer- I do not own the Outsiders, I just own Erin. I mean, if I really owned those boys, do you think I’d be writing about them for non-profit when I could be making money? Lol, though one day I aspire to be a writer, it won’t be with these characters, no matter how luscious they may be. This is my first Outsiders fanfic, and really, my first romance fanfic. So please, read, review and as always, if you have ANY ideas or would like to be my beta, please email me. Thanks, and on with the story!

Chapter 3-
As I looked up into the cold blue eyes of my adopted brother, I swallowed nervously. I knew this could, if not handled right, end very badly. I didn’t want Dal to beat up Steve, as I knew well that, while Steve is a great fighter, he can’t hold a candle to my tough, streetwise, New York City-bred brother.
“Would one of you like to tell me what the hell is going on here?”
I looked at Steve, telling him without words to let me handle this. I love my man to death, but I have to admit he has a loose tongue and gets himself in more trouble that way with his sarcasm.
“Dal, I know this looks bad, but Steve asked me to go out with him today, after you left. No, don’t give me that look, I’m a big girl and I can handle myself. I love your concern, you’re the brother of my heart, but I don’t tell you what to do with Sylvia. Please, don’t get angry and please, just let me have this chance with him.”
I knew I was taking a chance, I could make him angry bringing up Sylvia and telling him I wanted to be with Steve. Dally, bless him, wanted me to be with some a little more…..err…tamer I guess you could say. Steve is a greaser, through and through, and it’s not like he’s Tim Shepard. I laugh inside for a second, if I got with Tim, boy, the shit would literally hit the fan then. I think Dally wanted me to be with Johnny, sweet, lovable Johnny. There had been times, mostly when Steve was with this girl and that, that I wished I could love Johnny as more than my best friend.
Dal looked from me, to Steve, and back to me again. Sighing, he said, “Alright, sis, but I’m warning you, Steve, you ever hurt her or make her cry, I will beat the living shit out of you. Savvy?”
“Yeah, Dal, I savvy. If I hurt her, I’ll let you.”
Dally nodded, leaned down and kissed me on the forehead. “I’m going to go and see what kind of trouble I can get into. I’ll see you tomorrow, baby sis.” With that, he turned and walked off.
I looked at Steve and grinned. Smiling, he leaned down and kissed me again.
“Baby, you know you’re the only one I know who can talk to Dallas like that. You amaze me sometimes. You always have, and if I’d have had any sense, I would have made you mine a long time ago. Maybe now Soda’ll stop eying you.”
“You big baby, you know Soda’s my friend. He knew I liked you for years, he was always watching me because he wanted to keep an eye on me. Today he winked because of the look you were giving us for me leaning on him. He told me the other night you liked me, and he bet that you would get jealous enough to tell me if he paid more attention to me. I told him not to, but well, you know Soda.”
“Yeah I know Soda, and I’ll get him back. But, for now…” he trailed off, leaning down and capturing my mouth with his, his hands rubbing up and down my sides and my back. I opened my mouth, letting his tongue in to explore, tasting his minty sweet taste, I moaned a little, if he didn’t stop soon I’d be climbing the walls.
The rest of the movies passed by in the same fashion, us kissing and light groping. When it ended, we walked out the back way and headed for the Curtis house.
Okay, this is where I am going to end this tonight. I hope ya’ll like this chapter. Please, R&R people. I am looking for a beta, as I mentioned, so if anyone is interested, please let me know. I’ll be writing more in a couple of days. Enjoy and bye for now ;-).
