"Vince~you're goin too - aa, fast!~" Alice yelped, trying to catch her breath.
"Sorry, the speed limit is different in Ohio," He laughed.

New message from : Vincent (Dumbass)

Alice unlocked her phone, opening the message from her good friend, Vincent.
Vince : I'm at Gate B, I think.
Alice : Ok (thumbs up emoji)

Alice started pacing towards the Gate, seeing many people in the crowd looking like her best friend.
Jesus Christ, do people normally have dyed hair and pronouns?

She stepped outside the airport, combat boots shuffling on the concrete, stepping out of the air-conditioned airport.
Bzzz~bZZ
Alice answered the phone,
"Hello?"
"Look behind you, " his words echoed in her ears.
She made eye-contact with an all too familiar stranger.
His dark hair, deep eyebags, smudged eyeliner, and stupid band t-shirt made her feel just at home.
He laughed and waved at her.
"Vince?" She asked, he looked much better after college. He looked healthier, and more attractive than she remembered. He had also grown an inch taller.

Ohio had changed him.

"Alice?" He asked, matching her slightly confused, yet enthusiastic tone.
He walked closer to her, Alice felt a smile form on her face, and a line of blush being drawn on.
"How was your flight?" She asked, trying to start some small talk.
"My flight was delayed a bit, sorry to keep you waiting," he chuckled.
They started walking towards Alice's car, she helped him put his suitcase in the back.
They loaded themselves up into the car.
Vince folded up his cane and set it off to the side.
"Do you want me to drive?" He saw how tired Alice looked.
"You can't even legally drive-" She got cut off by his hand over her mouth. He pulled out his wallet, showing his drivers license to Alice.
His name was imprinted on it, followed along by his ID photo, which had a striking similarity to a mugshot.

"That looks just like your Freshman year School-ID photo!" She laughed, resurfacing an old shared memory, "Except this time you look like you got charged with drug-trafficking and not shoplifting."
Vince scoffed, "Shut up, I'm driving," He signaled for Alice to get out of the car.
He put his license back in his wallet.
"Get in the shotgun, bitch," Vince jumped in the driver's seat, and signaled to the passenger seat.
"This is my car, but ok," Alice hopped in.

Vince pressed the gas pedal, and started up the car.
He drove like a monster, with no consideration towards himself, or anyone else in the car. He rolled the windows slightly down, and put his classic sunglasses on.
The wind hit Alice like a truck, she choked on the incoming air.

"Vince~you're goin too - aa, fast!~" Alice yelped, trying to catch her breath, coughing through her breaths.
"Sorry, the speed limit is different in Ohio," He laughed, going slightly faster, then abruptly hitting the brakes at the intersection.
"ga-h! I'm gonna fucking kill you," she coughed out a yell.
"I'd love to see you try," He teased.

"You still live at the same place?" He asked, looking over at her, making brief eye contact.
"Yeah, same old run down townhouse," She laughed, somewhat ashamed that she didn't have anything to show off.

They pulled into her driveway.
Vince brought his stuff inside, rolling his ridiculously small suitcase in.

He threw himself onto the couch, burying his face into a pillow.
It had been a long 4 hours.
He rolled over, in a stance that made Alice question her sexuality.

Vince made eye contact, and smirked up at Alice,

"Anyways now that I'm here, wanna smash?"
