You peek through the window curtain in your room, it was still dark outside, the maroon ford escort park quietly in front of the house, you tip toe downstairs and open the front door, making as less noise as you can, you locked it back and rushed to erik's car.
Inside his car, his favorite singer richard marx's song "right here waiting" is playing.
"Good early morning" you can't hide your happiness to see him finally.
He just look at you and smile without saying a word, it seems like he is pressing down his emotion, you don't wanna bother him so you both remain silent all the way to griffith park.
Erik looks crushed, "how you can still look happy?"
"Well i'm happy to see you" you start caressing his hair.
"are you happy to not working in my house anymore?" he make his own assumption.
"why you say that?" your hand move to his cheek then hold his hand, "Erik.."

"erik, i accidentally heard your conversation with your dad on the phone" you hesitately asked.
"what you hear?" erik looks panic.
"Something about your dad asking you to kneeling down, what happen?" you looks very concern.
"nothing happened, he was just mad because i lost the match, that's it" he try to cover it up.

"i just don't wanna talk about it now, i wanna forget all that and enjoy the moment with you" he begged.
"how can i help you erik? Just tell me, i'll do anything to make you feel better" you hold his hand tight.
"Just feeling your presence is more than enough for me" he caress your long hair and petting your head.
"Erik" you climb on his lap, both of you on the driver seat, now you're face to face.
You cupping his cheeks and place a gentle kiss on his lips, "i love you so much, erik galen menendez".
