Behind the Scenes

I just wanted to let you in on what a day of work at the DX with Soda and Steve is like.

Soda usually opens at 7 so he's already there when I show up around noon. When we're "working on cars" we plot evil things to do to Steve when he shows up after school at 3. Today for instance, we planned to have a car spit oil in his face. So Soda and I hook up this tube to a little pump thing and put it through a whole in the oil tank of this car.
Steve comes along and we tell him that there's a problem with the oil tank in this particular car. Steve pops the hood and uncaps the oil tank. Soda and I were planning on just a little oil, but when Soda squeezed the pump, the oil exploded out of the car like a damn fountain.
After a few short seconds, it's still going. I looked over at Soda...
"You were only supposed to press the pump once man."
"It's stuck!" Soda looked up wide-eyed.
We looked over at poor Steve who is helplessly drowning in oil. We ran over to pull the tube out from under the tank and ended up taking an oil shower as well. We just kind of stood there glaring at each other when our manager Frank walks out... He just froze and stared at us for about a minute then he started to say something but decided against it and just burst into laughter.
By then it was about time for Soda's shift to end so he got to go home and take a shower. Steve and I had to use the pump behind the store and walk around in our wet clothes the rest of the day. My shift was over at 8 so I went home and grabbed some dry clothes for poor Steve who had to close at midnight.

So some days our pranks and evil plots end up going in a different direction, but they're still funny...... well, maybe not to Steve...



Plots pulled or to pull on Steve ( * indicates "already pulled on Steve")

-Spit oil in his face*
-His tools "mysteriously" go missing when he's working on a car*
-Put the car in "reverse" while Steve works on it*
-Remove and hide the part that needs to be worked on
-Produce weird gasses and stenches coming from the car
-Attach a "bomb" to the car that ticks and counts down*
-Make it look like someone was murdered inside the car
-Place a pair of girl's underwear and a condom in the back seat*

Just A Little Bit of Innocent Fun

Last night, I was bored out of my damn mind. What's a guy to do when hes bored shitless??? Call up his girl friend. : )
It was a good night just to spend some time with my girl. No one else was home so we had the house to ourselves. So Jels came over and we cooked dinner together. I asked her to wash some potatoes in the sink.. "No..." she answered, playfully. I reached over, grabbed the potatoes and started washing them,
"I'm just kidding" she said giggling as she reached for the potato in my hand..
"Nope." I said tightening my grip on it.
"Yes..." she tried to twist it out of my hand.
I grabbed the sprayer and sprayed Jelly with water. She attempted to grab the sprayer so I just sprayed her more.
She was about soaked when she finally succeeded in snatching the sprayer from me and in an instant she had it aimed at me and spraying. I backed up in to the counter behind me and slipped on the wet floor. I laid there for a minute...
"You look like you pissed your pants" Jelly said laughing and pointing towards my crotch. Then she decided it would be funny to spray that spot, so she did for a slight second.
I sat up, "There are other ways to get that wet honey.." I pulled on her arm which sent her sliding and crashing in to me. That's when I realized how ticklish Jelly actually is. ; )
I started to smell a little smoke "Oh shit..." I said, both of us laughing and looking towards the stove.
Dinner finally got cooked, and not burnt. We ate in our wet clothes till we decided it was too cold in the house and went upstairs to change. Since I end up lending Jelly clothes for various reasons anyway, I just cleared a drawer for her to put some of her own clothes in my dresser.
"I dont know why, but i feel like getting drunk." Jelly said.
I looked at her and smiled widely.
Next thing I knew, We were in the living room half dressed, surrounded by empty beer bottles, and dancing to loud upbeat music. The lights were out but we had candles lit. Jelly was in her underwear and a tank top and I was in my boxers and a tie. (No idea where the hell the tie came from).

The rest of the night was kind of a blur, and the things I do remember I won't tell.. (keepin it PG) But damn, I love some Jelly when I'm bored ;)

2 Months With the Most Amazing Girl Ever

Mine and Jelly's 2 month anniversary was the best 7 days of my life. I do have to give a little credit to Kit for giving me the idea.

After beating my head into the wall and breaking things from the anger of the whole Bob incident, I called Jelly and told her to pack her suitcase for a week and bring her passport. After a little questioning, she agreed. I picked her up the next morning. She hopped in the car and asked "So where exactly are we going?"
"We, my dear, are going to Veracruz, Mexico."
"No way?" she said very slowly.
"Yep, it's a two day drive and then we get to spend three days on the beach. Just you and Me." I informed.
Apparently the car wasn't big enough to contain her enthusiasm because she stepped out, did a little excited dance thing, and got back in.
"Okay, let's go" she said smiling. I had to laugh.

We drove two days without stopping at a hotel. The only thing we stopped for was food..... and well potty breaks. I love long car trips, especially with someone I love so much. Two days of talking and jamming out to music definitely brings you closer to someone.

It was late when we arrived at our hotel in Veracruz, so our first glimpse at the city was at night and I already thought it was beautiful. We got our room and the rest of the night was a blur. I was exhausted, but I woke up in a bed half dressed.... wonder how that happened? ;)
We ate breakfast at the hotel then headed out to the beach, where I had another surprise... Scuba Diving. If you have never been scuba diving, I highly recommend it. There is an entire different world living beyond the surface of the ocean. It was beautiful, all the different fish and coral... I looked over at Jels, who was a few feet away from me, my eyes grew wide and I motioned for her to come here. She did, looking a little puzzled. When we got on the boat to head back to shore she asked me about it,
"Do you know what was four feet behind you?" I asked
Jelly shook her head,
"There was a huge shark..."
Jelly went white, I thought she was going to pass out.

After chilling on the beach and sea shell hunting, we found out we were invited to a party. Apparently some rich guy at the hotel owned a Yacht and was throwing a party for all the hotel guests. It was fun, never been on a yacht before. We had dinner and alcohol and danced.
We got back to our room and chilled watching TV that had no english channels, we found a soap opera and decided to make our own translations LOL. Then I remembered something we were joking around about the other day. "If I wake up tomorrow and find out that you sneaked off to rendezvous with Jack Skelliton, Well I'm just going to have to punish you for that." I teased.
"Oh, really?" she said eyebrows raised and smiling.
I thought about what I told her a while back, about what my mom did to me that explained why I waited on going that far, but then I thought about how much I love Jels... so tonight I didn't hesitate, I gave in......

The next day, instead of risking it with sharks ha ha we swam with the dolphins. Dolphins are legit, I'm so breaking into Sea World and stealing one =D
After that, we took a tour of the outskirts of Veracruz. We saw some ancient ruins and pyramids. It was pretty cool.
That night we found another party going on, thank God for Mexicans lol. This one was on the beach. There was a bon-fire that glittered off the crystal blue ocean waters. I sat on the beach holding Jelly. I swear if I just stayed there for the rest of my life, that would be okay. If I didn't do anything else but this... I would be happy.

The last day of our trip we spent shopping. We hit up the mall and then some little quiet Mexican markets. Don't worry, we brought you all back something. :)

We arrived back in Tulsa at 2 AM, exhausted. I pulled up to Jelly's house. I walked her up to her door. She kissed me and thanked me for an awesome 2 month anniversary.
"My dad is working the night shift tonight...and I don't wanna stay alone."
I didn't even have to consider it, that's all she had to say. No way in hell I would give that prick another opportunity to touch her.
I tucked her hair behind her ear, kissed her sweet lips, and then we walked inside.

The things I love most about Angelica Winston!

Really I just felt like writing a super long post....no, like a Kit long post XD, so we'll see how it turns out...

Elena's back from North Carolina finally. She went with her ex Jake who she recently got back together with...as long is his name isn't Bob, I couldn't care less who she is with at the moment. A year ago, back when we lived in California, I hated Jake. He knocked up my sister, but seeing how gorgeous and joyful that little girl is, makes me proud to be an uncle at age twenty. Jasalin is a year old now and Elena went to get here in North Carolina to bring here back here with us. I found out that Elena hasn't been eating. I placed two fingers around her wrist and if I squeezed I swear her tiny little wrist would have snapped. She said she doesn't know why she hasn't been eating, she just says she can't and then she gets all emotional and cries about it. She passed out in the living room floor. It seems like I'm always worried about her in some way. Her life is always in fast forward. She never slows down.
Even when I'm out having a great time with Jelly, I constantly find myself worrying about Elena. I swear it's not healthy. I was born as her older brother... so why the hell do I have to act as her dad?
When I'm not worrying about Elena, I'm thinking about Jelly.
Our two months is only days away, and I have to constantly remind myself it's only been two months. Sometimes I think what would have happened if I didn't have that party? Would we be where we are now? Together?
I first saw Jelly when she and Kit came to hang at the DX with Soda just after I was hired. She strutted up in her dark skinny jeans and a blue baseball t-shirt. I remember thinking how pretty she was. I also remember not shutting up about her after they left ha ha. I think Soda got annoyed. I can honestly say without having to think or hesitate, that Jelly is truly the best thing to ever exist in my life. I do have to give some credit to the greatness of Kitty. If it wasn't for her sort of setting me and Jels up, I don't know if I ever would have asked Jelly out. Of course I wanted to, but wanting and doing are two very different things. Thanks so much Kit, because if it weren't for your divine eager and outgoing personality, I would be alone amongst everything I have to deal with right now.
Jelly and I were lying outside the other night. We didn't talk much this time, we just enjoyed the presence of each other. I remember just thinking about her. I came up with a top 5 list of the things I love most about Jelly...

5. She is so full of life and energy, she keeps me going when I rather just give up.

4. Her beauty is not only an outward appearance, it sinks deep within her, she's so pure and genuine.

3. I could be in the shittiest mood possible, on the verge of wanting to rot in a muddy ditch, but when she walks in the room... I'm drowning in a sea of joy and all thing pleasing.

2. She's real. She loves being only herself...which I love because nobody can be a better her.

1. The number one thing I love about Jelly..... is the way she makes me feel.

I laid there thinking about all of this, and doing some narrowing down because there is definitely a much longer list that goes way beyond this.
Today I was playing with Jasalin, and in her adorable little baby talk, she said "Dim, you gonna marray Jel-Jel?" The first thought I had was what the hell do you say to a one year old when they ask a question like that? But later on I thought about it... it's only been two months...that's too soon....right? But I realized other obstacles bigger than time.
I work at a gas station on a low income, I'm too busy and focused on Elena's mischief, I'm only twenty. Jelly deserves better than that... she deserves someone who can undoubtedly support her. Someone who has to focus and worry and protect and is 100 percent devoted to only her. I pondered on this one year old's question... in a few years, I can definitely see myself marryinhttp://www.blogger.com/g Jelly. I love her, she makes unbelievably happy, but she deserves more than I can give her right now. So until then, I guess I'll just have to dwell on the things I love most about Angelica Winston.

Memories of a WILD night

We had a party the other night, because many of us wanted an excuse to get totally wasted...well we did. Hardly any of us remember a thing, but apparently we took a lot of pictures so here is a few......



Elena & Bree XD





Emily & Angela

My Girlfriend's Grandma

Jelly's grandmother came to town, I've hard stories and rumors and honestly, I was a little scared.
We started with dinner at Jelly's house Tuesday night. Her Dad and her cooked, and she invited me over. I dressed up and showed up on her doorstep with a single rose at 6 o'clock. I handed Jels the rose and the first thing her grandmother said to me was "I think a man with a single rose is one of the sexiest things i have ever seen." Coming from a...... much older woman, I had no idea how to react to that, but I guess it was a good first impression.
We sat down for dinner and I sat between Jels and her grandmother. A few minutes into dinner her grandmother says "Angelica eat more meat, your so flat chested, you want to please your man don't you?" Honestly, I had to hold back a laugh. LOL. Jelly was red XD.
"It's not like that grandma..." Jelly said.
"What.. how long have you been dating?" asked grandma.
"A little over a month..." Jels answered.
Grandma Winston turned to me and said, almost shouting "And you haven't fucked her yet?"
I'm pretty sure Jelly's food fell out of her mouth, and I was still having to keep myself from laughing.
"NO Grandma! Actually Dimitri's saving himself..." Jelly explained.
"For who? Demi Moore?" she said sarcastically.
"I just want it to be... right. I believe it's not just for anyone, it's for someone special." I informed, leaving out some...truth.
Grandma Winston just sighed and told me how I was apparently missing out ha ha.

By dessert time, I almost peed myself laughing at least a dozen times.
We were having a somewhat good time, i guess and we were all laughing. I took a bite of cheesecake when I felt.... someone...grab me... under the table. I almost chocked on my cake. It was grandma Winston. I made a funny noise, catching Jelly's attention. "You okay?" she asked softly.
All I did was nod, wide-eyed.

I started to leave after dessert.
"Don't be a stranger good-looking. You better come by and see me before I leave!!!" demanded Grandma.
Jelly and I stood on the porch,
"She groped you under the table didn't she?"
"Yup" I said nodding, still a bit shocked.
"Oh god" Jels sighed, "I'm really sorry."
I started laughing "I can't hold you accountable for your grandmother's actions."
We sat on the porch steps for a while talking, mostly about how much Jelly misses Kit, after all they are best friends. But a little while later she caught me by suprise...
"I respect you for the whole saving yourself thing you know?" Jelly said.
"I know babe. Im not exactly waiting for marriage, just...the right moment...with the right person, and i'm not saying that your not the right person...it's just..." I paused...
"What is it Dim?...... What made you decide that?" she asked.
She had a right to know, I trust Jelly with everything that I am. Someone I cared about that much, had a right to know everything about me.
She was stroking my hand while she leaned on my chest.
"You know that my mom used to beat me when I was younger....and Elena too."
"Yeah, you told me that" she said.
"Well.......she didn't just beat me Jels, sometimes.....she.......would rape me."
Jelly was shocked, but to be honest, I'm glad she knew the truth.
"So... I don't want it to be wasted again....or taken from me." I finished.
Jelly was speechless, she didn't even look at me, until I said...
"I've never told anyone that before."
Then she turned to face me. I thought she was about to cry. The she said something else I was also taken surprise by. She stared at me for a while, and then she said
"I love you."
I leaned in, and passionately kissed her. Personally I would have liked to have said that to her first, but I did the next best thing...
"I love you too."

Broken & Betrayed

Usually when you think about someone's heart being broken, it's from a Boy/girl friend or a wanna be girl/boy friend. People never really think about they're own family breaking their heart, and for those of you who have had your heart broken, you know it doesn't break even.... it breaks ridged.

It started last week. So much has happened since then, it's almost a blur now.
Elena was out one night and I was home hanging with Jelly. I started to hear screaming, so I stepped outside and noticed Elena at the vacant lot, surrounded by socs. I immediately broke into a sprint for the curtis house and banged on the front door. Soda answered, and Dallas was over so them and Darry followed me to the vacant lot. Twelve socs for us isn't all that difficult, it just takes a little time. Bob pulled a gun on Elena and shot her in the back of her shoulder. I hovered over Elena trying to get her to wake up when I heard Soda yell something and then felt a glass bottle bust over my head.
I woke up in Jelly's arms. We were at her house and her dad was treating Elena. I sat up almost falling back over again. We had to take Elena to the hospital. We found that there was a little nerve damage but that she would be okay. She had to stay over night though and Jelly's dad wouldn't let me stay with her cause I had a concussion and my head was bleeding. Jelly made me go to sleep as soon as I got home, and she slept next to me because she had to wake me up every two hours because the concussion anyways.
Elena came home a few days later. I swear the girl never stops, she just keeps going and going. She wanted to go to her "hideout" but I wouldn't let her go alone in her condition so her, Jels, and I went to the hideout. I started up the fireplace and we goofed around playing truth or dare and what not. Between all the daring, we ended up outside in the lake. A little while later Elena had one of her famous melt downs. I cant blame her though, she has quite a troubled past. She told me how mom used to beat her. I wasn't surprised, because, well Mom used to beat me too. I was half expecting Elena to tell me what else mom did to her, but she didn't, so I noticed that Elena was a bit luckier than I was....she was never....

"I can still feel where he hurt me Dimitri" she said referring to the incident in California almost two years ago. She was cut up pretty bad from that, especially her back.
I sat there holding her, "It's okay Elena. He's gone, he won't ever hurt you again, i made sure of it."
"How?" she asked
"I can't tell you." I told her. I wasn't proud of what I did to ensure her safety, it was sick and cruel, but I had to do it..... for her.
She stopped crying after a while and we went back inside. Later we heard a knock on the door. Elena answered it and asked me and Jelly to go in the other room.
Somehow Jels and I end up locked in the bedroom, and Elena is outside with a stranger. After a while she texts me saying where the key is and that Jels and I will have a night alone on the hideout. I thought, what the hell, let her do her thing. Jelly and I left early the next morning but Elena wasnt at the house. The sun was setting and I still hadn't heard from her so I drove back up to the hideout. Elena answered the door and I noticed that she was not alone, standing behind her was ... BOB!
"What the hell is he doing here Elena?" I said shouting, then I noticed they were both half dressed.
"Are you fucking kidding me??" I couldn't believe it.
There was a lot of yelling after that and by the end I was pissed.
"Open your fucking eyes, Do you know what he's done Elena? To you? To Soda, our friends?" I tried to swing one at Bob but Elena stopped me. I couldn't believe this was happening. I turned to leave but just before I did, I said one more thing.
"We can't both exists like this in your life Elena." I pointed at Bob, "I'm not going to do that to Soda, to the gang. You have to choose.... me or him?"

So far, it's been HIM!
