It Started With Hello

Chap. 59

"Pardon?" Emma says with her head slightly tilted surprise was clear in her face. He laughs while walking over to the table across from her leaning his hands it "I mean going to take you to somewhere where you can practice driving. Don't you wanna learn how to drive?" She raised a brow she honestly wasn't scared of driving. When her parents first said she couldn't take driver's ed she was mad. But over time she got over that now she really didn't see the point in learning to drive. Maybe if it was 2005 she would care but now we have Uber and Lyft plus she could always just walk where she wants to go "I honestly don't see the point Blake" she says honestly shrugging. The doorbell rings letting them know the pancakes have been delivered "I know you love a challenge wouldn't it be nice to just challenge  yourself  to learn,just in case" he walks over to the front door too get the food. When he walked out of sight she thought it over a bit more she guessed she could just learn it for fun just having a driver's license would be nice to have. He walks back into the kitchen sitting the confetti pancakes from IHOP in front of her along with a fork. He sits the take out plate down on the table "I mean if I can race cars I'm sure I can teach you how to drive" he says with a cocky smirk. She puts some pancake into her mouth "Your right..why not lets do it" excitement fills her chest as he sits in the spot across from her. He picks up his own fork and begins eating "Wouldn't it be nice if you try for your license and get them before school starts back" she smiles while nodding it would be cool to pull up to school in a car on the first day. Emma did have a job now she could probably keep working through the school year if she played her cards right and didn't get caught.

That how they ended up in Blake's car at a closed down Walmart parking lot. She was sitting behind the wheel hands clasping around the smooth leather she has already adjusted her seat and the mirrors now the only thing she needed to do was put the keys in and start driving. She lets out a breath looking out through the windshield "Start out slowly and remember I'm right here beside you" Blake says rubbing her shoulder. His hand falls from her shoulder and her foot presses down slightly to hard on the gas pedal the car jerks forward making them both gasp "Sorry" she whispers looking at him out the side of her eye. He rubs her thigh sending shivers through her body "You got this just breathe and take it slow" she nods and pushes her foot softly on the pedal. She pushes aside the embarrassment she felt as the car moves forward slowly. With Blake by her side the next few hours she drove around the abandoned area getting more and more comfortable as time went on. When she would do something wrong would get frustrated with herself and Blake would gently tell her the right way which she appreciated. They continue practicing until it was about time for Blake to pick up Alex "Honestly Emma you did a good job for your first time" he says as they switch seats him getting behind the wheel. She smiles while she was driving she did mess up a few times but hearing that she didn't do as bad as she thought made her feel slightly better "We'll practice a few more times together and at the end of the summer try for your license what do you think?" he sends her a smile before starting the car. She relaxes back into the seat "I think that's a great idea" she smiles looking out the window as they head towards Alex's friends house.
