It was the first night summer going into senior year, our whole group was going to the drive inn, I of course was with my boyfriend of 3 years. I looked over at him, how his mop excuse of hair swayed around with the wind, his brows furrowed as he concentrated on the rode. He got even more better looking throughout high school. Even though we attended different schools he still made time for me. And when he learned how to drive he always came to sneak in my window.
"Why're you staring at me?" Richie chuckled
"I'm just admiring you." I said
"You see me everyday after school." He laughed "I drive you home every day."
"Yeah and my mom is saying that she's getting tired of it." I gave him an unimpressed look
"Just cause she wants you to drive on your own that doesn't mean you have to. Plus I like seeing the look on people's faces when I tell them I have to go pick my girl up." He winked at me then went back to the rode. We were crossing the bridge.
I smiled at him.
"Some people can't believe that we are still together." He said, I could kinda tell he was a little upset. I grabbed onto his hand and he held it.
"Don't listen to those fuckers, they are just jealous that they can't get a girlfriend." I said
He grinned and went over a lane
"A hot as shit girlfriend might I add."
"Who's attending tonight?" I asked
"Ben, Bill, Mike, Bev, and I think a couple of friends of theirs." He said
"Is eddie and Stan sick?" I asked
"No, Eddie started freaking out because his mom started freaking out and Stan said he doesn't wanna be around one of their friends I guess." He said
"Why?" My brows furrowed
Richie chuckled, his laugh lines became more visible again "Well y/n, when a teenage bo-"
"Oh shut up I get it." I said "beep beep!"
Richie started cackling "I have to get gas." He pulled down a ramp
"Can I get candy?" I asked, he pulled into the gas station
"Bub we already have a lot." Richie couldn't keep a grin off of his face.
"I forgot one thing though." I said
He huffed and handed me a 5 dollar bill "spend it wisely, my love." He shut off the truck and hopped out to the gas.
I giggled and got out too and walked across the street to the station. I grabbed my sour gummy bears and headed in line, I felt a couple eyes on me but I wasnt scared or anything. Just uneasy. It was my turn to pay and so I did, I told him to keep the change, I just wanted to get out of there. I started to head out when a guy came in front of me
"Let me get that for you pretty lady." He opened the door.
"Uh thanks...." I walked up and say Richie, he looked over at me and saw the guy. His brows furrowed and I can already see him steaming.
The guy kept trying to talk to me
Oh boy that was it for Richie boy. He stormed over and grabbed onto me, softly but firmly. We walked to the car and he got in.
"Are you okay did he hurt you?" His voice was soft but also dripping with frustration
"I'm okay he just opened the door for me and was trying to start conversation." I smiled softly at him and pecked his jawline. He started the car and we were off again.
When we arrived Richie started setting stuff up in the trunk bed. They had a bonfire but I just wanted to stay by Richie
"Babe you can go over there I'm just setting stuff up for us."
I looked at him then got on the trunk bed and sat down on the mattress
"I still have to put blankets on them." He said unamused. I set my head down on the side. And just looked at him
He pecked my lips and I grinned.
"They'll have the bonfire all night." I said "I wanna stay here."
Richie smiled at me and hopped in, he grabbed the blankets from the window and set them over us.
"Hey rich?" I asked
"Hm?"
"Thanks for putting up with me." I said quietly
He laughed "put up with you? No no, I don't put up with you I love your company. If anything, thank you."
I smiled at him and leaned on him.
"Here." He dug through the cooler and pulled out a cherry coke.
"Thank you." I said, the sun started to go down and Richie switched the channels to the movie one. Once he got that done he dug through his pockets. He pulled out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter.
"I've told you millions of times that that's not good for you." I mumbled
"I know." He said "Buuuuuuut Bev told me you think it's hot when I do it."
A dark blush spread across my cheeks
"So it is true." He teased
I looked away
He pulled me back, his hand his thumb on my chin, he crushed the cigarette on the rim of the truck. A dark blush was still on my cheeks as my eyes scanned his face. I can go on and on about his features but I got cut off in my little admiring session by his lips crashing into mine. He put his hand on my waist and pulled me closer to him. I smiled into the kiss. I laid on my back and he propped himself over me just showering my face with kisses. I giggled and he stopped, now he was looking at my facial features. I pulled him in for another kiss. His hands roamed lower. And I gasped a bit, I felt him chuckle a bit. If I was being honest I didn't mind at all. He parted from me and just looked at me.
"I love you so much it's not a-"
Someone started banging the truck. Richie pulled away from me. And looked up. He fixed his glasses
"Yes bill?" Richie was annoyed I could tell
"Do you g-guys want any hotdogs or h-hamburgers." He asked his stutter down to almost nothing
"I think I'm good right now and my girl here is okay with candy." He said. I practically melted
Bill nodded and went back to the fire. Richie turned back to me
"Now where we-"
"Look the movies starting!" I said. He grumbled and I giggled
