Crying Lightning

Suck It And See

"Wake up sleepy head." An all too familiar voice whispered in my ear.

"Alex, look, you're hot. But, my bed is much more interesting." I mumbled, my face still buried within my pillow.

He pushed my arm playfully. He untangled his legs from mine, a detail I failed to realise.

"Get up." I felt the bed shift as he got up. I grunted and fell back to sleep.

"JASMINE MCADAMS! WAKE UP!" Matt screamed through my room and I sat up, breathing fast and gasping.

"Fucking hell. Matt, you wanker." I threw my pillow at him and he jumped on my bed. Bouncing up and down, to get me out of my pit.

Alex and Bella ran in and started doing the same.

"Jasmine, get up!" They chanted as my body was flailing in the air hopelessly.

"You're all twats. Alright! Stop." They all stopped their ludicrous jumping simultaneously. Except for Bella, who slipped and fell off. Alex, Matt and I just laughed and laughed until tears formed in our eyes.

"Fuck you all." She moaned. She stomped out into the living room.

"Why are you so desperate to get me up anyway?"

"Would you like to spend the weekend with a broken version of Arctic Monkeys?" Alex asked, raising an eyebrow. A smile spread wide across my face and I screamed in delight.

"Fuck yeah!" I stood up on my bed and pounced on Alex, making us both fall down.

"I'll leave you kids to it." Matt muttered and swiftly exited my room.

I was on all fours above a shirtless Alex Turner. I felt the coldness hit my legs and noticed that body was baring only a shirt and pants. Realisation hit me like a ton of bricks. Millions of girls would take an arm to be in my position.
I might as well take advantage of it.

"Thank you." I whispered. I lowered my lips to his and kissed him. His lips responded with the same tenderness as mine. I pulled away.

"Maybe I should give you more reasons to thank me." He winked and pecked my lips lightly. "Now, get dressed and pack an overnight bag. We're off to see my Monkeys."

Half an hour later we were shoving bags in the boot of Alex's car and clambering into it, Matt and Bella in the back, Alex and I upfront. I flicked through the CD's I'd brought for the journey and handed Alex 'An Awesome Wave' by Alt-J.

"Fine choice." He answered and put the disc in the player. "You all ready? The journey's like three hours long." He moaned and he looked at me in mock disgust. I flipped him the finger and he winked.

"Yes, Alex, let's go." Bella almost snapped. Guess she wanted to meet the Monkeys.

"Cool it." Alex replied after slipping his sunglasses on.

"But it's not even-" He pushed his finger to my lips to quieten me, then rolled the window down, turned the volume up, lit a fag and sped down my street.

"Jasmine, your turn!" Matt practically screamed from the drivers seat in Alex's shitty red Ford Cortina. Guess this is where the line from 'I Wanna Be Yours' comes from. We'd all swapped shifts driving and sitting in the back. Bella and Matt were now in the front two seats. We'd all had a few shots of Vodka.

"Dare!" I screamed back.

"Ummmm, get off with Alex for five minutes back there. I'll," She hiccupped, "time it." She smirked at me then set up a timer on her phone.
I shrugged my shoulders to Alex and sat across his lap, straddling him. At first he looked slightly shocked then he smirked that signature 'Turner' smirk.

"Goooo!!" Bella yelled. Alex captured my lips with his and we soon found ourselves moving to the rhythm of the song. His fingers burned my skin where he touched me and my mouth was on fire. Our breathing became ragged and the need for oxygen surpassed as the hunger for one another's lips took over. His hands were placed on my hips as I swayed the slowly from side to side earning me an occasional moan from the rockstar. All too quickly, the timer shrieked. We broke apart slowly, catching our breaths. His lips looked swollen and had turned a darker shade of red. The tingle was still present on my lips and I couldn't help the smile that was fast forming. He winked at me and lit up a cigarette. He offered it to me and I accepted.

I glanced at Bella who was sat there with her mouth hanging open.

"You'll catch flies, love." Alex said, leaned forward and shut her mouth.

"You guys need to be together!" She screamed at us. I took the bottle of Smirnoff and gulped a reasonable amount down.

"Fuck, that stuff burns." I muttered and raised my eyebrow at Alex, hinting at a round 2. He smirked and nodded. We resumed our previous position and began it all over again.
