Deception of the Mind

Unofficial Body Guards

We walk in a convenient store not too far away. I walk to the counter and smile at the clerk.

"Can I get a pack of cigarettes?" I smile at him and he smiles back.

"Yeah, sweetheart. What kind?" I lean against the counter and his eyes wander. I reach further across the counter and point.

"That kind." He turns to grab them but I shake my head, and lean further across the counter. "That kind." He grabs another kind. I basically crawl on top of the counter and fall on him. He holds my arm. "Sorry," I whisper.

"It's fine." He looks down at me. "Perfectly fine." I see Drew walk out the store so I straighten up and look on the wall.

"They don't have the brand I like, guess I'll try somewhere else." I crawl back across the counter and blow him a kiss. Drew's leaning against the wall with a box of condoms and lotion.

"Ready?" I nod my head and we start walking to Walmart, which isn't that far away either. I grab a condom and go to a parked truck. Drew stands next to me watching. I put the condom on the car's exhaust and we both hide behind another car.

"How did you even come up with this idea?" I laugh and look at the truck.

"The football team always does it. I just figured it'd be something you like."

"You thought correctly." A guy walks towards the truck and gets in. He starts the car and the condom makes a loud popping noise. He gets out and looks at the exhaust. I start to laugh so Drew covers my mouth with his hand.

"Be quiet," he chuckles and looks at the truck. The guy looks around for a second then drives off. I stand up and pick up the remains of the condom and throw it at Drew. "I pick next car." He walks over to a yellow Camaro. He puts the condom on the exhaust and I laugh.

"Even transformers need protection." Drew hides behind a car but I pull out some lipstick, and right what I just said on the window. I hide with Drew and smile.

"Really? Was that necessary?" I nod my head.

"Yes it was." I look at his nose, which is totally healed now. "Sorry I punched you in the face." He laughs and shrugs.

"Sorry I said you're STD test came back negative. And that I called you a bitch." He looks at me and smiles. "But in my defense, getting a negative STD test is a good thing."

"I guess it is." I peek over the car and a girl walks to the Camaro. "She's going to the car. She sees the writing. She's pissed. She sees us." I get up and grab Drew's hand. "Run!" We sprint to the gate and jump it. I turn around and the girl is flipping us off.

"Just wait till the condom pops." Drew catches his breath and starts to laugh. After she drives away we go back to the parking lot.

"Give me the lotion." He hands me the lotion and I put some in a condom. I put the condom on the hood of a car and put a little lotion on the hood. "Tada!" Before we can hide, the guy comes back and he's even more pissed.

"Shit!" Drew yells and starts running. I run after him, the guy after us. We run behind Walmart and jump the fence to another store, and run behind it. The guy is still behind us so we squeeze between two buildings. The guy passes us up and we both start laughing. We're so close I can feel his breath. I look at him and he's staring at me. Before I know what's happening he kisses me. I wrap my legs around his waist and kiss him back, but then I stop.

"Drew," I breathe out, he sighs and rest his head on my shoulder.

"I know." I catch my breath and walk back on the street. "Never speak of this?"
