you rolled down the window and garbed your pack of cigarettes
From your bag and a pack of matches
You strikes the boxOnce
Twice
And a third time
Finally the match light the orange flame meeting the white stick in between your lips
You inhaled the Grey smoke it burned a little as it filled your lungsLenora hummed to the old radio and Arvin looked at you through the mirror
admiring your features on your face, the way your hair moved in front of your face and you hand reaches to brush it back and your eyes focused on the trees and grass outside of his truck
And as you took the cigarette from your lips and held it in your two fingers as you let the smoke leave your lungs
You looked at..peace In his old beat up truck?He saw lenora from the corner of his eye looking back at forth between you and him
She smiled and giggled at but at her brother
Looking at her friendHis head snapped back towards the road
He cleared his throat "so where you stay?" He asked once again clearing his throat as she looked at him in the rear view mirror" four blocks past the church and then turn left go straight till you see a green and White House " you hit the cigarette on the opened window as the ashes got taken by the wind
He nodded and looked back at the road
You saw the quick glances he made in the mirror and smiled to yourselfYou made it your house and you opened his truck door and grab your things you stepped up to his driver window to say goodbye to lenora
"Thanks for the ride..." you looked at him he gave a small nod, lenora then unbuckled her seatbelt
" my book still at your house y/n?"
"Yea it is I forgot it on the table this mornin' "
You gave her a smile
"you can go inside and get it or I can go get it for-"
you got cut off as lenora yelled
" No!""Sorry no I can get it myself "
she quick got out and shut the door and looked at arvin with a smug smile on her face as she walked to your house" you don't talk much hm?" You said as you looked at your white dirty sneakers
"Um no not really " he shook his head and look forward
"or do you just not talk to people you don't like?"
His eyes widenedAnd shook his head
" hmm no it's not that I don't like you..it's just" he sighed"what?" You said as a smile grew on your face
"It just your real pretty that's all "
He let out a light laugh he played with his ands as he looked everywhere but youYour smile now plastered on your face
"Well I'll be damned" you nodded your head
"Well your real pretty too 𝑹𝒖𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒍"
He smiled at your words and you looked back at your house then back at him"Okay..how about this you come by the diner on Friday at 7:30 that's when I get off and me and you can go to the fair " you said with confidence almost like he had no choice but to go he smiled and nodded
"Alright..it's a date " he finally looked at you
His eyes were this nice brown shade that at the perfect light you could see the tiniest bit of green in 'em..along with that came a sight of hurt and sadness you saw it before he looked away"Okay then it's a date" you smiled as you repeated his words and leaned in and kissed him on the cheek he felt the heat rise to his cheeks and a light pink tint made its way on to his face you backed away and turned towards your house
