Love in Unexpected Places

chapter 4

Lucus pulled up at my house at 7:59.His car was so beautiful, my favorite color, midnight blue. He had the top down and his hair blowing in the wind. Its was only about an inch long, but it was long enough that it looked amazing with the wind blowing through it. We flew down the road, both of our hair flying. The radio was blaring our favorite artist, Eminem, it was so loud he couldnt even hear it when I screamed the lyrics along with Marshal Mathers. He was constantly smiling at me, his perfect teeth seemed to shine in the twilight. There seemed to be no imperfections on his face, ecpecially on the ride to the place he refused to tell me. 

The ride could not last long enough, I was straddling the line of sadness and excitement. Sadness for the amazing drive being over, the excitement was for the surprise being so close to being discovered. I could barely breath as he put his hands over my eyes and guided me towards whatever it was he was hiding from me. I counted 24 steps before he stopped and took his hands away from my eyes.

" You said you always wanted to watch 8 Mile, so have I. So I figured maybe we could watch it for the first time together," he explained.

I couldn't even speak I was so touched by how far he had gone to make a item on my bucket list come true. He had sat up a huge sheet on a line with a projector on some kind of stand behind a blanket that had been set up between the projector and the sheet. There where several different plates that I could not identify at first because it was wrapped in plastic, to ensure the ants didn't get to it before we did. 

" Oh my god! Its so perfect Lucus! I cant believe you paid that much attention to my lame wants!" I cried.

He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me close to him. We both knew what we wanted and we knew we didn't need to speak to ask permission or any silly thing like that. He pulled me even closer, so close we where pressed against each other. His bodie heat radiated to me as mine did to him. The moment seemed to freeze, time stopped. He leaned his head down, just like he had the first time. 

The kiss was even more powerful than the first. I felt ten thousand more volts of electricity than I had felt the first time around. This was a knowing kiss, not one of pure mutual impulse to put our lips together. This kiss was shared with a boy I knew, a boy who I knew almost everything about. I knew what he loved, what he hated, what he admired, what he feared, all the things that you could find out in a 14 hour period.  

Our hands once again moved towards each others faces. I felt the chemistry rush through our bodies. It felt like some kind of reflex when slightly jumped and wrapped my legs around his waist. He took his hand from my face and placed one behind my nec while he placed the other at the small of my back, once again pulling me so close. I kept my eyes closed, so I don't know if he opened his to move to the blanket. I felt the gravity threaten to claim me as Lucus leaned down and placed me on the quilted blanket.
