The Taxi Driver

Chapter 6

Laura knocked on the door and waited for an answer. Todd opened the door. "Hey pretty-- I mean Laura." He blushed. She laughed. "Hey Todd. What's up?" She asked. "Just working on my flow you know?" He said trying to sound all cool. She giggled. "No. I don't know." She said. He nodded and shrugged. "What are you doing here? I thought you'd be with your boyfriend by now." He said rolling his eyes. "Sound like someone is jealous and no he's not my boyfriend. He's my friend and your his brother along with friend." She said bopping his nose. He blushed. "What am I to you?" He asked her. "Your an amazing best friend." She said. He smiled as his face turned a deeper red. She laughed as he tried to hide his face. "Aww. Your adorable. Come here." She said hugging him. He hugged her back. "Marry me." He mumbled. "What was that?" She asked. "Oh nothing." He said sheepishly. He coughed. "Is there something you wanted?" He asked trying to avoid any awkward silence. She smiled widely as if remembering what it was that she needed. "Do you know where Ross lives?" She asked him. He frowned.

"Oh him. Yeah. Why?" He asked. "Well we kind of got into an arguement and he's kinda mad at me so..." She said sadly. "What? Why?" He asked. She sighed. "Well I brought a dress and he kinda didn't like it. Some guy hit on me and he kinda broke his jaw." She said sadly. She shuddered thinking back to the impact. "Oh. He's known for those things." He said casually. "Huh? What do you mean?" She asked. He laughed. "Oh nothing. Its just really weird to think of it." He said. She tilted her head. "Okay. Can you take me to him?" She asked. "I would love to but I don't have a ride. Unless you do." He said. She laughed. "No. I don't have a ride. He was." She said sadly. "Hey! Lets take my bike!" He suddenly suggested. She looked at him weird."Its not the bike you think." He smirked. "Then what kind of bike?" She asked. He smiled and took her hand. He brought her over to the garage.

There he pulled out a motorcycle.She looked at him amazed. "May I ask how old are you?" She asked. He laughed. "I'm 16." He said. She looked at him. "And you have a liciense for this?" She asked. "No. Not at all. But I was hoping you might." He smiled widely. "Uh no. And does Stormie know you have this?" She raised her eyebrow. "Maybe. Maybe not." He smiled sheepishly. She glared at him disapprovingly. "Fine. Fine." He rolled his eyes. "I'll take you there. By foot." He said bluntly. She ruffled his hair and smiled brightly. "Yay!" She shouted. "Okay. Okay calm down." He said fixing his collar. He eyed her. "You sure he's not your boyfriend?" He asked her. She nodded. "Positive." She said. "Alright. Lets go." He said starting to walk out the garage. She followed close behind.

Ross sat down after taking a nice hot shower. He was pretty stressed over the fact that he told her that he didn't care. He wanted to talk to her but what would he say? He sighed and turned on the t.v. It was a story on three kids going missing. He sighed once again. "What's new?" He mumbled. He turned the t.v off and made his way towards the stairs. Just as he was about to go up them, there was a knock at the door. He rolled his eyes and opened the door. There Laura stood with Todd. "Hey..." She said. Todd looked awkwardly between them and slipped away. "I'm gonna go. Later." He said and dashed away. Both of them didn't move. He stepped out of the way and allowed her to come in.

As she admired the decor, he went to go put on some decent clothes. She loved the roses he had crafted. She didn't know he was so artistic. She smiled. He came back and looked on with her. She turned around once she was fully aware he was back. They looked at each other awkwardly until she decided to break the silence. "Ross...."She said as her throat went a little dry. He shook his head. She hugged him suddenly. He slowly started to hug her back. "I'm sorry." She mumbled into his chest. He smiled slightly. He could never stay mad at her. Though it did make him mad when she wasn't overlooking it. She just saw it as a violent act when he was doing it for her sake. "You were just being sweet." She said pulling back slightly but not fully.

"Aren't I always?" He teased. She pulled back to look at his face. "Really?" She smiled. "What? Am I not?" He asked. She held his hand. "Yes. Yes your aren't." She teased quickly as she pulled away from him completely. "I take my compliment back." She said. He rolled his eyes. "Your loss baby." He said and walked over to the couch. She laughed as she joined him. "I'm really sorry. You were just trying to look out for me. And I should've said thank you instead of coming down on you." She frowned looking down. He lifted her face with his index finger. "Apology accepted. You were right. I should've listened to you." He said. "I should've said something. But you know how I am." She said. He chuckled. "Just remember that you always have me." He told her. She smiled making his heart skip a beat.

He smiled along with her. No doubt he was falling for her. He blushed as she noticed he was staring at her. She smiled and laughed. "Do you have time?" He asked. She tilted her head. "Time for what?" She asked. "Just time in general." He said. "I'm loaded. Why?" She asked. "Because I wanna take you somewhere." He said."Where?" She asked. He held out his hand. "Do you trust me?" He asked. She looked at it. She thought about it. "Yes." She said and put her hand in his. "Its a secret." He whispered to her. She shivered. "Now close your eyes and I shall take you there." He said. She smiled and did so.He smiled as they got off the couch and started for their next location.
