Chapter 15
“You bitch, how dare you take him from me.” Carrie heard from behind her.
She turned to find Patty, her face red with anger. “I don’t know what you mean.”
Sally got in between the two girls. “Hey Patty back off. What’s going on?”
“Johnny, I love him and she took him from me.” Patty shouted.
“You didn’t love him, hell how many other guys do you sleep with?” Carrie shouted back at her.
“Oh little virgin girl don’t get all up on your high horse of morals. It doesn’t matter, you need to back off.” Patty said, trying to push her way to Carrie.
“I’m not a virgin anymore.” Carrie said quietly to Patty.
It threw her into a fit of rage, and Sally had to hold Patty back. “You little bitch. He doesn’t love you; he’ll only use you for a bit. Don’t believe for one second he’ll ever be faithful to you. He already told me that you’ll stay at home, and when he’s on the road. Well let’s just say, I’ll be the one he’s with.” Patty shouted out.
“Patty knock it off will you.” Sally pushed her back. “You have no idea what is going on between them. But I can tell you the skin on your face is turning green from jealousy.”
“That’s it; I’ll have you two kicked out of the sorority by noon. Pack your bags and find another place to live.” Patty stalked out of the room.
Sally turned to Carrie, “Don’t believe a word she says. She likes to create problems.”
Carrie smiled at Sally; she wished that what Patty had said didn’t sound so possible. But the fear was building up in her heart already. Maybe Johnny had said that, but why.

Johnny called her a little later, “Hey I made reservations for Le’ Chic for us, I’ll be over to pick you up in a few minutes. I have a lot of things to talk to you about.”
Carrie felt the fear creeping in once more, “Okay, I’ll get ready.” She said. As she dressed she couldn’t help but feel like he was going to tell her what Patty had already informed her about. Or would he tell her? He might just do it, and she would be unaware of it all.
“Carrie, hey Johnny is here to pick you up. I had him wait outside, you know just in case Patty comes out of her room.” Sally came into the room and told her.
“Thanks.” She made her way to him.
He smiled as soon as he saw her; she felt her heart lurch out for him.
“You look amazing.” He said.
“Thanks, but tell me what you want to talk about please.” She said.
If he was going to tell her she wasn’t right for him or something like that she didn’t want to go out to eat. She would rather cry in the peace of her own room. Well at least for a couple more hours.
“Well I wanted to wait until we were in the romantic atmosphere of the restaurant. But I guess here goes. Carrie I love you, and I really want to have you in my life. Will you marry me?” He asked as he got down on one knee in front of her.
“Are you going to marry me, and then sleep with other women on the road?” She asked.
“What? Why in the world would I do that?” He asked.
“Patty said that your plan was that, to marry me. Then when you were on the road you would look her up and other women.” Carrie admitted.
“No, I never said that to her. I told her I’m not interested that I have a girl, and I only want her. Carrie, I got an offer to move to San Diego, to play pro ball. Will you go with me? You can go with me to every game; I’ll never leave you home. I want you around me all the time. Well except in the locker room, you can’t go in there.” He said.
“What? Oh wow, I can’t believe this. Yes I will marry you. I’m sorry I even thought she was telling the truth. I love you Johnny.”
THE END
FILTHY NEIGHBOR
Chapter 1
I was just pulling into my driveway when I saw her for the first time. Watching her through the black tinted visor on my motorcycle helmet I couldn’t help but stare at her.
She was slightly pale with long blonde hair, I couldn’t tell what color her eyes were from the shades that she was wearing to protect her eyes from the sun but I’m betting they’re blue.
I checked her out as I shut my motorcycle off and watched as she lifted her head slightly from the basking chair she was laying in.
Her blonde hair was put up in a ponytail and she looked as if she had headphones in her ears but she had a slight smile on her face. I was pretty sure her name was Amanda but I wouldn’t have bet money on it.
Taking off my motorcycle helmet and welcoming the cool breeze that picked up, I was hot in the leather motorcycle outfit I decided to wear, even my feet were soaked with sweat inside my motorcycle boots.
“Nice day isn’t it?” I called over to her, seeing her nod her head and take one of her earbuds out of her ear.
“What’s that?” She called back, she hadn’t heard me but at least she acknowledged that I was talking to her.
“I said nice day, isn’t it?” Repeating myself which I didn’t like to do.
“It is.” She nodded her head, her smile growing wider across her face.
“My names Dean.” I thought I should at least introduce myself and hope that she would do the same.
“Shelly.” She replied. It was a good thing that I didn’t put money on it I would’ve lost but money isn’t anything if you have a lot of it.
“Nice to meet you,” I stated, wanting the conversation to continue but I had to get out of the leather that was surely going to be had to get off my sweaty body.
I left my motorcycle in the driveway and as I reached the steps to the front door it opened and my driver Jake came out.
“Would you like me to move that to the garage for you?” He asked he was a balding man with brown hair and light brown eyes.
“That would be good, thank you. Wash it down so that it looks new.” I grinned at him.
The motorcycle was my favorite thing to drive. I always made sure after each ride it got a scrub down. Not by me of course, that was the reason why I had so much help. So I wouldn’t have to do it myself.
I hoped that she was going to be outside when I got done taking a shower. Maybe I would invite her over for a drink or two, or to go swimming on this hot day that threatened to get hotter.
