Summer Break (A Leonardo DiCaprio fanfic)

Chapter Six: Finally friends?

I grabbed my acoustic guitar and jumped out of my window onto the roof. I was a bit nervous because I hadn't done this in so long I didn't want to slip. I couldn't really remember any of the songs I learned, I attempted to play About A Girl by Nirvana but couldn't quite remember the chords, then I remembered the first song I ever learned on the guitar, which was Moon River from Breakfast at Tiffanys.

I took a deep breath, than began singing. I wasn't the best at singing, but I also wasn't awful at it either. 

"Moon river, wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style some day
You dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're going, I'm going your way..."

I continued singing when I could smell something, it was smoke. I turned around following the smell when I saw Leo leaning out the window with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth.
 
His mouth formed into a smile which caused his cigarette to slant upward. "You're good" he said wrapping his fingers around the stick of poison in between his lips.

"Oh I don't think so, I haven't played this thing in forever"

"No, I mean your singing, and you're good with the guitar too"

"Thank you, but I'm not all that good" I said as my cheeks began turning bright red.

"Yeah you are, you have a beautiful voice" he said matter of factly.

"Thank you! No ones ever complimented my voice before"

"Well now someone has" he said with a warming smile. I didn't really know what to say, I just sat there strumming random stings on my guitar as I looked at him, and he looked at me.

"You wanna come in my room.. uh I mean the guest room and hang out? So we don't have to sit and yell at each other across the roof?" He asked then chuckled.

My eyes lit up and I nodded. I turned around into my room and quickly walked over to his room. This is it! It's finally happening, he's asking me to hang out with him. I know I sound really high school right now, but I've been waiting for this moment. Right as I was about to knock on the door he opened it.

"I like what you've done with the place" I said looking around the room. He had kinda decorated it with pictures of his friends and family, and a clothes pile next to the closet door.

He laughed and thanked me. I sat down on the couch, and anxiously bounced my knee up and down, Leo sat across from me on the bed. There was a few seconds of the dreaded awkward silence. Leo cleared his throat and parted his lips as if he was about to say something, then he stopped.

"What were you going to say?" I asked

"Oh it's um, it's nothing, never mind"

I nodded and looked out the window and noticed how the sky was turning a grayish color, oh yay now I'm going to get a pounding head ache.

"How old are you? That's what I was gonna ask..." Leo said out of the blue.

"Twenty, but I'm turning twenty one in a couple of weeks, uh June 15th"

"Happy early birthday, so do you have any plans for it?"

"Thank you and I dunno, I'll probably have some family and friends over"

"That's it? I mean I'm not judging or anything it's just, this is like a big birthday deal, y'know you get to drink and you're an official adult and stuff"

"Yeah I know, I know but I don't really like partying or drinking, it's just not my thing"

"Have you ever been to a party? I mean a real party?" He asked raising his eyebrows.

"Yeah, well kinda, actually... no, the most realest party I've ever been to was a Halloween party when I was 17, but I left like 10 minutes after we got there"

"Well I'm going to have to take you to one, one day. Because you can't say you don't like partying if you've never been to one"

"Oh I don't kn-

"I'll take you to one for your birthday, and you can invite any friends you want" he said with enthusiasm, which was kinda cute.

I didn't really want to do it but since it was a chance for me to hang out with Leo I decided to do it. "Alright fine" I said.

"Cool, we'll have to wait until after your birthday, so that your old enough to drink and everything, I know the perfect place we can do this" he said with a smirk.

"Leo, I can tell you're trouble"

"Eh probably" he said laughing.

We started talking after that. It became almost easy to talk to each other, he really was able to bring out the conversationalist in me, which was not easy for everyone to do. We talked mostly about plans for the party, and he shared stories to me about his times at clubs, and about his group of friends. It was weird honestly, I mean how two hours ago I didn't think I'd even get sentence out of him and now we're talking to each other as if we'd been friends for years. I mean yeah I was still a little shy and kinda would stutter every once in a while but other than that it was easy.

He was really nice and made me laugh, I think we could build a friendship off of this? Maybe more than that, but I doubt it. Besides he mentioned that one of his favorite reasons for going to clubs is to see all the, in his words "hot blondes" so apparently blonde and hot is his type, which I'm neither. So we'll just have to see.
