Control (Evak & Philkas)

Chapter eleven: Kiss me, kiss me

  Sunday afternoon, Lukas was in the garage, working on his bike. He had to change the breaks, the old ones were getting a little rusty and he'd feel bad if something happened to Philip because of his shitty breaks. So he changed them. 

He was almost done with his bike when a feminine voice cleared her throat, walking in the garage and almost giving Lukas a heart attack. He's really concentrated when he works on his bike, okay?

Lukas turned and saw his girlfriend standing at the door. He frowned. ''Rose?''  

''Hey, baby.'' She smiled and walked in.''What are you doing?'' she asked, her eyes glancing at the engine. 

''Working on my bike, duh,'' Lukas replied.

Rose rolled her eyes. She knew that, that's not what she meant. She asked what he was working on but it doesn't really matter. She doesn't know a thing about dirt-bikes. 

Except that her boyfriend rides one.

''Are you almost done? I was hoping we could spend the afternoon together. Watch movies or something?'' 

''Movies? I don't like movies.'' 

''Come on, everyone loves movies,'' she insisted.

''Not me.'' His tone was stern and made Rose sigh, knowing he was not going to change his mind about the movies. 

Making plans with Lukas is difficult. Rose puts her heart and soul into their relationship but Lukas is always the one putting off their plans. It's like he's not interested. Before Philip came into in life, Lukas didn't mind Rose. She's a nice girl. She's a little annoying sometimes and always wants to kiss him but that's normal to be annoyed of that. Kissing doesn't bring him anything other than a tightness in his pants. He'd rather ride his bike, that will help him get somewhere in life.

''I was planning to go for a ride after I finished. I need to practice my jumps.''

Rose nodded. ''I could come with you. Do you want me to film a little?'' 

Lukas groaned inside. No, no, no. That's not what he wanted her to say. Lukas was supposed to meet Philip later today but of course Rose had to get in the picture and remind him that he should want her and spend time with her.

''Okay. I guess we could do that.'' Lukas turned to her and gave her a small smile. She smiled back, content. All she wanted was to spend time with her boyfriend, is that so bad? 

Lukas stood when he was finished, stretching his arms over his head. He's been in this uncomfortable position on the ground for too long. 

''You done?'' Rose asked, looking up from her phone. She had been texting some of her girl friends while Lukas finished installing the new breaks and the constant noise of her phone going off and beeping every ten seconds was starting to drive him crazy. 

He nodded. ''Yeah. I'll get my gear and we can go.'' 

Lukas inspected his body quickly, contemplating if he should shower or not. He usually do after working on his bike but right now, he doesn't see the point becuase he's gonna shower after practicing the jumps. Showering two times is dumb. During his inspection, he saw some black stains and splotches from his bike and smirked, creeping a dirty hand near his girlfriend's face. 

She screeched. ''Lukas, don't you dare!'' she warned, stepping away from him a few steps.

Lukas laughed and grabbed everything they needed and they were off to the training tracks behind his house. He did a few jumps and Rose filmed them but got bored quickly and asked Lukas to make a break. A break? What the fuck?
