I Just Wanna

Chapter 10

Aj nervously bit his bottom lip as his leg bounced up and down. He was debating whether or not to wear his jacket or place it in his lap. He stared at the clothing on his lap when a cool breeze slipped through his shirt. It was cold, borderline freezing actually, but he enjoyed it. Plus, without his jacket, he was sure hi, breaking into a nervous sweat was less likely than when he had the jacket on. He nodded, giving his jacket a pat. His long sleeve sweater was enough.

He was suddenly aware of the sound of several steps. They seemed to be coming his way so the blonde turned his head towards the soft sound. His heart skipped a beat as Taeyeon smiled at him. Her skinny jeans hugged her shapely legs and she looked fairly cute with her blouse and leather jacket on.

"Hey," he greeted with a smile as he grabbed his jacket and put it on. He looked cooler and totally not like the nervous wreck he was.

She greeted him with a shy smile. She was glad it was cold outside. She could blame her blushing cheeks on the weather and totally not on the way Aj looked, simply sitting on his bike.

"Are you ready?" He asked? Taeyeon nodded. She had her purse, with all her belongings, hanging on the crook of her arm.

"Can we stop by a nearby store that sells mouth masks?" she asked as she walked towards him. He raised an eyebrow.

"Why?" he asked. Taeyeon smiled.

"To conceal our identity; we can't just waltz around the city and expect no one to take pictures and write problematic articles."

The blonde scratched the back of his head with a dorky smile.

"I didn't think about that." He trailed off and put his hand down.

"Well, hop on." He said, patting the space behind him. "Oh. Before I forget." He turned to the side of his bike and pulled out his helmet. He leaned to the other side and placed it on Taeyeon's head. He smiled as he backed up.

"Safety first."

The brunette laughed as she awkwardly slid onto the back of the motorcycle. With his key in the ignition, Aj revved the engine and started the bike. Over the noise, he turned his head to the side in order to speak.

"It would be better for you to wrap your arms around me. You would fall right off if you don't."

Taeyeon did as she was told and tried not to think too hard about how warm Aj was in contrast to the cold.

"Hold on tight." He said as he drove off.

The pair dashed back onto Aj's bike. Both of them had toothy grins plastered on their face and both of them were erupting with laughter.

"Hurry hurry. Before the clerk suspects something." Taeyeon said as she climbed onto the back. She was holding a shopping bag with two masks, a cap, and a receipt in it. Aj shook his head, his grin still on his face as he slid onto his motorcycle.

"You sound muffled under the helmet, but I'm hurrying up. Hold onto me." The blonde, almost automatically, started his bike and drove off before the cashier walked out of the store.

With a few minutes to spare, they arrived at the movie theater, still full of nothing but laughter. Aj was currently putting on one of the masks while Taeyeon removed the helmet.

"There's no way the cashier didn't know who you were." The blonde said with a laugh. He pushed his hair back before he placed the cap on his head.

"I'm sorry, but it got hot under the helmet." The brunette said with a laugh. She placed the helmet on top of the bike so she could put her own mask on.
