Buckle Up

"Aiden! Where are you taking me?!" I exclaimed. We both kept running, well I'm being dragged, away from the café. "I still have work to do!" He continues holding my wrist, but stops to look at me.

I'm guessing you want to know how we got here, well let's go back to five minutes ago:

Aiden pounded his fist on the table, causing everyone to look at him. "Why the fuck are y'all making so much damn noise? Can y'all just shut the hell up for 2 seconds, and just order the damn food?"

Luke let's go of my waist and says, "Right."

"Hey nobody was asking you to agree, faggot." Aiden said sternly as he glared at him. Luke was about to reply, at the same time, I met with Debby's eyes in the back. If she sees there's a commotion, I know for a fact that she will intervene. In other words, getting my job taken away.

"Aiden, chill." I spoke lowly but loud enough for him to hear. "Now what would you like to order?"

"A burger with a side of fries, ma'am." The boy with the country accent said. I took out my notepad and began writing down each order as each person spoke, except for Aiden of course.

As soon as the scarred guy finished ordering his food, Luke whispered in my ear, "I see you got this under control now, I'm gonna go and help with Miss Manager over there." He kissed my forehead and left. Then something so unexpected happened afterwards. Aiden got up, snatched my arm, and ran outside. Obviously, taking me with him.

So yeah, that took us where we are right now.

"What do you want from me, huh?" I asked him.

"I want you to hang out with me, away from people." He replied.

"Why though, you had your friends to hang out with?"

"They aren't my friends." He said sharply.

"Ok, then who are those guys?"

"No one that you need to worry about." I looked down at his hand, that's holding my wrist. Once he realizes that I'm looking at his arm, he slowly lets go. "You can go back into your lame ass job or you can come with me. Your choice." I stared at him for a few seconds and pulled out my phone.

"Hey Debby. Its Kiyra."

"Oh sugar plum! Is everything ok? Do I need to pick you up? What happened to you? You left the shop so abruptly, with that boy."

"Y-yeah, about that. Is it ok I can end my shift early today?" I looked up at Aiden, watching him smile. He has a gorgeous smile, so gorgeous that I can watch him do that forever.

"Well, sure honey. Luke and I have it covered over here."

"Ok, thank you so much."

"No problem, just remember to use protection." I felt my face flush with blood, causing me to blush.

"N-no i-it isn't-" I stuttered in embarrassment.

"Sure it isn't Honey Bun, tootles!"

"W-wait!" It was too late. She already hung up the phone. God! Sometimes, I just really hate that woman.

"Alright, lets go." He grabbed my hand. "Where's your car?"

"Over there." I pointed to the back of the café. "Let me go grab my stuff." I let go of his hand and ran back inside the mini diner. Racing my way to the girl's break room, I bumped into Luke.

"Hey Kit Kat. Why are you in such a rush?" He smirked.

"I need to grab my stuff, because I'm hanging out with someone." I walked, passed him, into the break room. Knowing him, he followed me.

"Who's the lucky person to hang out with my Kit Kat?" He said sternly. As soon as I grabbed my stuff, I looked at him as if I was saying, 'you know who it is.' "I know you're not about to go out with that guy, who not only dragged you outside and disturbed the peace, but also have a fowl mouth?" He raised both his eyebrows. I didn't say anything and took my keys out of my cubby, along with my clothes. "K, you can't be serious? He's bad news."

"How, exactly, do you know that Luke?" I fired back.

"The little scene that he had, like 10 minutes ago! Don't go with him, Kiyra!" Luke has never said my name unless he's serious. He put his hands on my shoulders. "Please." I focused my eyes on my shoes.

"I want to know more about him, Luke." He groaned loudly. "He may not be as bad as you think he is."

"Bad as you thin-" The door creaked opened, revealing Debby.

"Sweety, I thought you left already. Debby said in confusion. I drifted my eyes to Luke.

"I was just getting my stuff." Giving off a fake smile. "See you guys, tomorrow." 

"Bye sweetheart." Debby said.

"Yeah, bye." Spoke Luke. Before I flew out the door, I looked at him as if I was apologizing. He seemed to understand where I'm coming from, but he still wanted me to stay. I can't though, this is an opportunity to figure out whether this Aiden is worth my time, and not like everybody else.

"I got my things." I said to Aiden as I approached him.

"Good, now hand me your keys. I'm driving."

"Oh hell no." I began to run to the car, to sit on the drivers seat before Aiden could. Unfortunately, Aiden is a much faster runner than I am. He got there before, I could. "Ha! Well at least I got the keys." I said, not admitting my defeat. Then Aiden, shows the keys in his right hand. How the heck did he get them?

"Now get your ass in the car, before I leave your damn behind." Immediately, I went to the side of the car, ignoring the keyed word on my door, and got inside. Setting my belongings in the backseat, Aiden said, "Buckle up." The car roared to life and, the cloudy skies began to thunder. It's official, our wondrous journey has just begun.
