The Underground Kids

The Boy Next Door/The Kiss

   Me and Luke start walking to the driveway to get in the car. He comes over to the passenger side and opens the door for me like a gentleman. He's slightly joggs back to the driver side and start the car up. We pull out of the driveway into the street.

" oh shit i forgot my phone. I'll be right back."

   He turns the car off to go back inside to get his phone from upstairs. I look out the window on my side and see hallway boy still in his garage. He looked like he was working on a motorcycle.

   I decided to get out of the car and walk up to him and speak. As im walking im getting a little kittle nervous because i didnt know if he remembered me. As i made it half way up the drive way, he turns around from his work table and spots me. Hes holding a wrench in on hand and a blowtorch in the other. I walk up to him and speak.

"Hi." i say nervously.

"Hi." he said.

He sounded confused when he said it tho. I can already tell this was gonna be bad.

"My names Jasmine. Im the girl you bumped into at school this morning. Im also in your U.S History class."

"Yeah i remember you. Pretty eyes, pretty smile. How could i forget." he smiled and began twisting a bolt on his bike

"Thanks. You know i never got your name. I wanted to thank you i just didnt know who i was thanking exactly."

"Leroy."

He wipes the sweat off his forehead with a rag and hold his hand out for me to shake.

"So what are you doing over here?" He asks

"Oh me and my best friend got invited to this party so we decided to stop by and see what the hype was about."

When i saw his face, his whole mood kind of changed.

"So why didnt you come to the party?" I asked curiously.

Before he could answer i heard a car honk its horn at me. I turned around and it was Luke. He got out the car and walked of to me.

"Hey you alright? Why'd you get out the car?"
He asks as he rubs my arm.

"Oh no reason i just wanted to say hi to a friend. Luke this is-"

"Leroy. Yeah i know him." Luke says.

From the tone of his voice it didnt seem as if he was very fond of Leroy. Leroy looked at us and laughed and went back to working on his bike.

"Come on Jas lets get you home." Luke says.

He turns me away and softly pushes me towards the car. I get in and Luke starts back up the car and we take off.

I was trying to kill tension in car from when we were at Leroys house. I was struggling trying to think of a topic to talk about. So i brought up his band.

"So Ash was telling me a little bit about the band."

"Oh yeah like what?" He chuckled.

"Well he mentioned he was from England and when he moved down here, you and him started the band together."

"Yep that sounds about right." he laughed.

"So tell me. Whats the story there?"

"Well i mean Ash covered the basics of it. Mickey was one of my old neighbors who played drums a lot in his garage. So me and Ash decided to recruit him for our band. Then Rocky came because we had held auditions for the last band member. For awhile, we would practice in Mickeys garage cuz his instrument was too heavy to move. Eventually i bought him a drum set to keep at my house so we have a change of scenery instead of him being stuck in his garage."

"That was sweet of you, to buy him a drumset."

"Those guys are like my brothers. I'd do anything for them.,. Anything..."

To see Luke talk about somebody like that made me look at him differently, more noble. He had a good heart. And he wasn't afraid to show it. I started to like who he was.

"What? Is there something on my face." he laughed.

"Nope not at all. Im just admiring you. Your not the guy i thought you were. And im kinda glad."

"Ahh stop it." he said brushing it off like it was nothing.

"I mean i knew you guys did music, i just dont know if yall are any good."

he busted out in laughter.

"Oh really? Well then i guessed you'll have to come to one of our shows then." he smirked at me and kept driving.

Finally he pulled into my driveway and turned the car off.

"Welp..this is me." i said kind of awkwardly. We both laugh.

"I had fun with you tonight." he says as his smile dies down from the laughter.

"Yeah me too." i said blushing.

"Well i hope we get to do this again."

"Mmmm we'll see." i said trying to be mysterious.

He laughed and got out the car to open my door. He walked me to my porch to the fromt door. We stood there just staring at each other.

"So in the movies, this is the part were the girl and guy kiss each other goodnight."

"Yup." he says as he slides his hands in his front pockets and rock back and forth on his ankles.

"I mean, if you want me to kiss you just say so." i say jokingly.

He laughs and starts to look into my eyes. I start to look down. He lifts my head up with his fingers.

"Why do you do that?" He whispers.

"Do what?"

"Look away from me when i look at you."

"Because i can't handle staring at you without feeling anxious."

"So tell me how to fix it."

He whispered so close to my lips. All my fate is holding on to this kiss hes about to plant on my lips.

"Kiss me." i said giving in.

   I couldn't take it any longer. He smashed his lips into mine and i felt so lifted. Our mouth in sync with each others with non stop movements. His kisses felt so pure, so true. I didnt want him to let go, but he did.

   This was the part were we departure. He caressed my cheek and slid my hair behind my ear. He kissed my forehead and told me goodnight. He walked back to the car and backed out of the driveway. He waited till he saw me go into the house to drive off. Tonight was amazing. He was amazing. It feels so different with him when we're alone from when we're around people. Hes like this book i wanna keep reading and never put down. The more i learn about him the more i wanna know. He made my night and i wont forget it.
