The Ride

Soundcheck

"Baby I found you" he exclaimed, I could tell that he had raced to try and find me. I returned his statement with a simple nod, too focused on the cigarette between my teeth to care. We were currently going through another rough patch, I swear that's all we were these days. I wanted today to be different, I was determined to make everything different with us. I was wearing his oversized jacket purely because the smell of him would always linger on my skin, and no matter how much I said I didn't want him, everyone knew how much I did.

"Are you done?" I asked with some sort of hope in my eyes and tone. I so desperately wanted to get away. To back up all our stuff and shove it in the back of his car. To drive with no real destination in our minds, only to fall in love and to be happy. He didn't give me a proper reply, merely took the cigarette out of my mouth and kissed me with such adoration. I'd never felt more loved by him than in that moment, and that's when I knew that we had to just drive and not look back. So we did.

I dragged him through alleyways and cross roads back to his flat, I knew some of my stuff was there and that it would do, he kept asking me what I was doing but all I could do was return his questions with a grin or stop and kiss him. I was so infatuated with him. We reached his flat and I so badly wanted to spend hours just kissing and feeling his soft touches on me. But there was no time for that, I needed us to work and this was currently the only way. I told him to collect some things and put them in a bag and to make sure he has his car keys. We got in the car and it felt like he knew what I wanted. He started to drive and although we didn't know where to, this was the safest I'd ever felt.

A few hours had passed and we'd passed through where I grew up, he started to ask me questions about my background and I felt so content with us, as we were meant to be. I told him how that my background had never really left me much and for some reason I really appreciated it. I appreciated him, his existence, his soul and his beautiful, beautiful mind. As I finished figuring my life out I found myself asleep, using his jacket as a cover for my cold body. I woke up to the smell of smoke, for a moment I was terrified - terrified my paradise had come to the worst ending possible; my love dying. He was simply smoking, the wind making his hair move from its perfect form, the light in his eyes as the sun came into them, the way that beautiful smile formed when he noticed I had awoken.

He kissed my forehead and held me tightly, we were on the backseat of his car, my head on his shoulder - where it fit perfectly.
"You know, I really wanted everything at once before I met you." he admitted, I couldn't help but be confused at his words. I sat up so that our eyes could meet in the way that made my heart stop and rush at the same time. "But now I don't need nothing, because I have you and that's all I could ever want"
