Save That-

.nine.

"Oh, Peep, we needa head outside really quick, I gotta talk to you about tour." Gus looked at me, and I smiled and nodded my head for him to go. "I'll be right back." he smiled and followed Tracy, so I was left alone with Kyle. "So, why do you like him?"

I immediately felt uncomfortable as Kyle inched closer to me. I looked around, then back at him. "Who- um... who said I liked him? I mean he's like a really cool person and I-"

"Yeah, yeah, yadda yadda, you clearly like him. I just don't understand why, though. He's such a loser. You can be with me instead, you know." He placed his hand on my thigh, and I pushed it off. He placed his hand on my thigh again, but more forcefully and said, "The more you resist, the tighter I'll squeeze." I looked around when I saw Tracy and Gus coming back in. I smiled in relief, knowing he wouldn't do anything else with Gus and Tracy around, yet his grip only tightened.

"Hey Luca, do you wanna head to the carnival with me later?"

"Oh actually me and Luca are going together right after this." Gus smiled at Kyle, and Kyle just scoffed then rolled his eyes. "Come on Peep, you know the drill by now. This is my property now."

"She's not property, Kyle." Gus glared at him. "We're leaving, come on Lucas." I happily tried to stand up, screeching when Kyle's grip on my thigh tightened. "Let me go, please." I whispered, making sure only Kyle could hear me. He scoffed once more, then squeezed the tightest he had in the past 10 minutes, finally letting go.

"Fine. She'll be mine soon though, just watch." Gus grabbed my hand and we started to leave. He stared down. "I'm so fucking sorry, Luca. I should've known better, he does this with every goddamn girl I bring around him- what's that?" We stopped at the exit of 5 Guys as he stared at my thigh.

I stared at the ground and shrugged. "He did not. What the fuck Kyle." He whispered under his breath, bending down and inspecting my thigh, gently touching it. I winced at the cold temperature of his fingers, and once he saw this, he quickly pulled his hand away. Tracy and Kyle were walking towards us//the exit when Gus stood up and walked outside and I followed. We stood there until Kyle came out, and before I knew it, Kyle was lying on the ground, and Tracy and I were pulling Gus off him.

"Gus! Stop it, he's bleeding!" I tried pulling harder, and once I finally got him off, he sniffled and wiped his bloody nose. "Let's go..." I grabbed his hand and got into the drivers seat with him in the passengers. "What the fuck was that?" I jammed his keys in the ignition and pulled away. He snickered, then smiled. His hood was up, and his hands were in his pink hoodie pockets.

"That was me beating the fuck out of Kyle." He looked at me then smiled, and as upset as I was, I couldn't help but smile back. "You're lucky you won."

"How's your bruise...? Is it okay? Did I accidentally hit it at all?" I shook my head then looked at his face. We stopped at a red light, then I leaned towards his face. We were extremely close, literally breathing on each other. His pupil's immediately dilated, then his lips slightly parted. I stared at his bloody nose sighing then pulling my face away as the light turned green and I drove off. "Is your face okay?" He looked slightly upset, but then smiled. "Yeah, I'm okay."

I glanced over at him and I felt something. I squeezed my eyes shut, then opened them at stared at the road. "Okay thats good. I'll fix you up more when we get home, okay? It's gonna burn, so be prepared." He nodded, then looked out the window.

The longer I looked at him, the closer I wanted to be. At red lights and stop signs, I often looked at him without a word said. It was easier to do this when he was driving, but this is okay too. This is just fine in my opinion. I feel great.
