The Taxi Driver

Chapter 8

He stared at her in awe as she tried to make a bow with her ribbon. "Is this pretty?"She pouted. He chuckled and laughed. He walked over to her. "Anything and everything is pretty." He said. She giggled and pushed his shoulder."Not even." She said. He laughed. "Well. I need to get going. Tell Becca I said hey and Rocky that we have to hang." He told her. She nodded. "Only if you tell me that my bow is pretty." She pouted. He chuckled. "It is. Its pretty."He said holding in his laughter. It was basically a knotted up rope but with soft material. She looked in the mirror. "Its not funny. Tell me."She said urging him. He covered his cheeks from forming a big smile. "Ross...." She whined and pouted. He smiled and got behind her.

"Okay first, you don't need all these knots you have going on." He said taking it out from her hair. "How would you like it?" He asked. "Delicate but not delicate." She directed. He raised his eyebrow. "What? I like to look pretty when I get ready for bed." She rolled her eyes. He chuckled at her adorableness. She smiled. He focused on her bow. He tied it for her. She closed her eyes. "Is it ready?" She asked. He just stared at her. He just looked at her in awe. She smiled knowing he was looking at her. "Ross..." She said getting him out of his trance. "Can I open my eyes now?" She asked. He nodded and coughed. "Of course you can." He smiled. She stood in front of the mirror. He stared at her closely. Her eyes fluttered open slowly.

"What do you think?" He asked her. He just stood there awkwardly as she stood there admiring her bow. The one she didn't make. She gave him a hug. He blushed. "I love it! I love it!" She squealed shocking him a bit. "What?" He asked as he tried to calm the heat rushing to his face. "This is amazing. Why are you just a street artist. You should do it professionally. I would even support you." She said shocking him completely. "I don't think that's possible." He said pulling away from the hug and backing away from her. "What? Why not?" She asked as they walked out her room. "Because that's not what I see myself doing." He said as he walked side by side with her. She looked at him with full confusion.

"But....but...Your putting such amazing talent to waste." She said. He smiled. "I appreciate what your saying but my art is gonna stay here and that's it." He said pointing to his heart. "Ross? Why?" She asked. "Because I feel like that's where it should be 100% of the time now isn't it?" He asked. She nodded. "True. True but I think your art should be all around the world. Look at this key chain you gave me." She said holding up the key chain he gave he smiled. 'Yes.' He tbought. "This was made by you and you know how many people like this?" She asked him. "Over a million? " He guessed. She giggled. "Yes. Now why would you take the photos? Don't take them down after you just put thim up." She said. "Did you try?" She asked. He laughed. "No." He said. She laughed and pushed his shoulder.

"It's lazy Friday. Don't do anything. Just chill out and relax on your couch." He told her. She nodded. She sat down and patted the spot next to her. He looked around. She rolled her eyes and nodded. "Yes you." She said. He chuckled and sat next to her. He licked his lips. Damn dry lips. So unattractive. Well that's how he felt. "Now I want you to close your eyes." She said. "But I dont wanna!" He said. She eyed him. He blushed as her face seemed closer as his eyes closed. "Alright. Open them." She said. "Now what's the first word that comes to mind when I say trip?" She asked him. "Florida." He said. She smiled. "Football." He said. "Lap." She said. "Locket." He said looking at hers. "Picture." She said. "Locket." He repeated and pointed at it. She looked at it. "Yeah? It was my mom's." She said. He smiled. He held up a ring. "What's that?" She asked.

"This was my dad's.He gave it to me before he went out there to serve the nation." He told her. She smiled. "Wow. Alot of bravery and courage. That's amazing of your father to do that." She said. "Yeah. Without him doing that, we wouldn't be where we are today." He looked down a bit amd frowned. "Hey. Look on the bright side." She smiled. "What bright side? There's a possibility he may no longer be here but its understandable." He said. She held out her hand for him. He looked at it. "Take it." She said. He looked at her. "Are you sure?" He asked. She nodded. "Now just look in my eyes." She smiled. The both blushed and stared into each other's eyes. He smiled also. "Now just talk to me." She instructed just staring at him. "Talk to you? Aren't I doing that now?" He asked twitching his nose a bit. She thought it was cute and tried to immatate it. "What?" He asked.

She giggled. "Do I have something on my face?" He asked. He felt his nose. She copied him. He pouted. "Stop it." He said. "Stop it." She said. He raised his eye brow.She did the same. He smirked and leaned into her face. She did the same. They were nose to nose. Everyone deserves their PERSONAL space. They both sat that and just looked into each other's eyes. Neither wanted to back away. "You first." She said. "Nah. You first."He said. She growled. He tried to but held it back.Just then the door opened. Rocky and Rebecca came in.They looked at them weirdly. "Uh...What are you guys doing?" Rocky asked making them jump apart. Ross blushed faintly as Laura held her heart being completely startled. Rebecca smirked and winked at Laura. "Rocky. You shouldn't sneak up on people." She said relaxing a bit. He looked between the two. "Raura."
