Lover, Come Over

Cupid Kisses 04

I've got a lot to miss,
Like your pretty lips in my car

***

The school day seemed to drag on. Finally, the bell rang, signally the day was over. I walked through the pink and red halls completely uninterested. I had my headphones in, blaring the music. Suddenly, something very heavy pushed me against the locker.

"What the fuck." I said, caught off guard. "Hey, Emory." Jeremy said, holding me against the locker. Reluctantly, I took my headphones out of my ears, and paused my music. "What're you doing here? You're not a student." "I had to see you again, baby." He said to me, grinning foolishly. A small blush crept up my cheeks, and then I noticed we were utterly alone.

Jeremy pushed our lips together. At first the kiss was slow and timid, but quickly turned fast and passionate. My mouth opened, allowing his tongue to discover every inch. He pulled away from me, panting. "Baby, I've been wanting to do that for a long fucking time." He said grinning. I noticed a glint of pleasure in his eyes. "Let me drive you home." He pouted. I stuttered, "Um, uh, yeah okay." He smiled and put an arm around me, guiding me to his Harley Davidson Motorcycle. "Damn, this is sweet." I thought to myself. We hopped on the bike, and pulled out of the parking lot. I could make out the blur of Brady and Sarah.

The feeling was exhilarating. The buildings rushing by added a romantic feeling to the scene. We didn't have helmets on, which added to the experience.

We pulled into my drive, and I got off. Jeremy gave me a peck on my lips, and told me he would see me later. I walked up to the house, noticing that Aunt Teagans car was in the driveway. I cringed at what was to come.

I was barely in the door when I heard, "Emory, who were your riding with? It better not be who I think it is." She said, her mouth pressed into a fine line. "It was Jeremy." I grunted. "I don't want you seeing him, maybe he will kill you like your brother tried to. What were you thinking?" She screamed at me. I couldn't force myself to react, there was nothing I could say. I knew exactly what I was doing when I done it. "Look, you know I want you to be social, but can you tell me you're using your honest-to-god best judgment?" She questioned. "I don't know what you want me to say." I said through gritted teeth. "That boy is actually trying with me, unlike you did!" I yelled at her. She stood there, I knew that look. She wish she didn't have to put up with me, I don't blame her.

I don't exactly remember when I decided to sneak out, but I did. It was 11:30 on a school night, and I knew that what I was doing is completely reckless, I stopped caring though.
I walked to Jeremy's house using my muscle memory from when we were kids. I needed someone, and he was all I had. When I arrived, he opened the door. He looked completely disgruntled. His hair was sticking up in every direction, his shirtless body was on full display, which showed his black and grey tattooed arms and back, and he had light grey sweat pants on. "Emory, I'm happy to see you, but it's midnight. Why are you here, are you okay?" He asked, slowly regaining conscious. "I'm okay, I had fight with Teagan. Can I stay with you tonight?" "Yes, of course, come in." He said, gesturing me inside. His small house was surprisingly neat and organized. In the middle of the leaving room, a mattress was facing a big picture window. "Do you need to borrow some clothes?" He asked, eyeing my skinny jeans. "Yes, thank you." I said. He passed a black t-shirt, and some basketball shorts. "I didn't know you were a Nike fan." I said, laughing and winking at him. He chuckled, his voice filled with sleep, "They're my brothers, and they should be close enough to fit you." He said. He turned around where I could change. Together, we laid on his queen mattress. "Goodnight, my love." He said, almost inaudibly. Jeremy held me in his arms, and I heard his breathing even off, signaling he was falling asleep. Before I knew it, I started dozing off too.
