Street Lights || M.G.C.

Chapter 7

"I'll tell you later, right now we gotta go over to the store to buy stuff." I said to him. Michael just frowned, "What are you gonna buy? I thought you didn't use much money." He asked.

I was getting irritated. So many questions in so short amount of time. "You'll see..." I just answered.

We walked down to the other end of the black street to get to the store I needed to go to. Michael kept looking around like if he were gonna be jumped on and killed any second.
We walked into the shop and Michael looked so confused. There were no normal groceries in this store. There only were alcohol, drugs, spray paint, cigarettes, regular paint and other things strays use their time on.

There also were snacks and such in the back of the store, along with regular soda and flavored water. We walked past everything and got to the cash register.

"What does Kenzie buy when she drops by?" I asked the guy that stood there. He was pretty handsome if I could say so. "Mostly this," he said as he turned around and got a package.

Weed. Loads of cigarettes made out of weed.

"She also buys a lot of beer lately, and cans of spray paint. You want a few cans? We got a little bit too much last time we got a delivery."

Free stuff is free stuff. "Of course, and another pack of those and some beer. That's all I need." I replied to him as he walked to get my paint.

I payed for it even though it was a hard hit for the wallet. Me and Michael finally made our way to where McKenzie should be.

We walked through half the city to get to where we needed to go. While we walked we asked each other questions to get to know each other better. Still no talk about the kiss though.... Maybe he was too drunk to remember?

Once finally there I looked around, no sign of her yet. I took a deep inhale through my nose to capture the scent of the place. It was fresh. It was a pond near us and up in the trees was our place.

The treehouse. It wasn't the biggest and best house, but it was good enough. I walked carefully towards it. I got to the ladder that lead to the door of the place. I knocked on the door.

Four quick knocks then a little pause then two quick ones again. I heard shuffling on the inside and the door flew open. Kenzie.

Her hands flew around my neck. I wrapped my arms around her waist, mostly so that if I fell off, she would too.

Once she took her arms away she noticed Michael down by the trunk of the tree. "Oh, who do we have here? You never told me you had a boyfriend Lexie. What happened to the 'no secrets' thing??"

"It's Michael and no, we're not together, he's trying life on the streets because he wanted to 'feel what it feels like' whatever he means with that...." I said to her. Michael scoffed and started to climb the ladder too.

Once all of us was in the treehouse I gave McKenzie the bag with the stuff I bought. "What's this??" She asked and looked at the bag, then me. "Look inside." I said to her smirking.

She opened it slowly. A loud gasp left her mouth then she looked at me. "You bought this?" I nodded. "Why did you spend so much money on me? What's the occasion? Have I forgot something?" She rambled.

"It's 13th October Kenzie," She looked so confused. "it's one year since we met..." I added.

"Shit, one year already?! I totally forgot... Sorry." She said ashamed. "It's ok, if we share I'm totally fine." I smirked.

"Can I at least get a beer?" Michael asked from across the little room. Kenzie just smirked and said, "Oh, you can try something with the beer too."
