If I Needed Someone

A Day In The Life... Of John

Today started as it usually did, aunt Mimi slapping me, that's her way of telling me to get up. I yell at her, she gets grumpy and goes downstairs and I go down to get breakfast. "What'd you make for breakfast, Mimi?" I yelled. "I didn't make anything, you're 17, you make your own breakfast." Mimi said with a huff.

I slammed my fist on the table and went to the pantry. I attempted to make eggs and bacon but the bacon turnt out floppy, and the eggs; burnt. I decided to just go hungry and went back upstairs to get dressed. I put on one of my usual, simple outfits; a white tee with my favorite leather jacket, some plain dark blue jeans and short black boots.

I came back downstairs and grabbed an apple. "Bye, Mimi." I said leaving the house. I hopped onto my motorbike and rode through the neighborhood, and my neighbor, Becky, from across the street waved to me flirtatiously and I stopped to have a little flirt with her. "Hello, pretty lady." I said with a mischievous smile. "Hey." She said laying a finger under my chin.

"Are you single, pretty girl?" I asked her putting my arms on her waist. "Why, yes. And yourself?" She asked me with a seductive smile. "Single and ready to mingle." I said. "Call, me sometime, baby." Becky said handing me a piece of paper with her number on it. "Maybe sometime, I gotta scoot." I said putting the paper in my pocket and hopping onto my bike.

I rode to the park and threw the piece of paper in the trash. What? Of course I didn't like her! I just like to tease the girls. Anyway, I just was walking around the park, teasing the ladies and smelling the roses, when I saw her, that Jamie girl. She was walking with Ivan, they waved goodbye and I saw her start to walk home.

It looked like someone was taunting her and I thought, well, nothing physical, she'll probably handle it. But then I saw him closing up on her and she yelled, "No, please!" Her cry for help made my heart absolutely drop. I suddenly felt this extreme anger or rage build inside of me.

I ran over to her and yelled at the guy trying to hurt her and he eventually ran off. She hugged me and I thought, this is my chance! I gave her a gentle kiss and she blushed. Her lips were so soft and so delicate. It made me crave for her kisses even more. She's so cute when she blushes. Before I could say anything else, she left. Ran home leaving me with only a quick 'Goodbye.'

I watched her walk away until she was completely out of sight. I hopped onto my motorbike and rode around the neighborhood once more before arriving at my auntie's house. "I'm home, Mimi!" I yelled opening the front door. "Don't yell, John!" Mimi said giving me a quick kiss on the forehead. "Go get some dinner, I baked some chicken and potatoes for you." She said giving me a push toward the kitchen.

I barely ate, not because I wasn't hungry, I just couldn't stop thinking of her. My mind was hooked on her beautiful face and body. Her perfectly imperfect figure. The way her body curved at the hips. I couldn't stop thinking about her, I couldn't. "Eat your food, John!" Mimi poked me.

I suddenly snapped out of it and took a bite of my potato and took the rest upstairs to my room. "I'm going to bed, Auntie!" I yelled from upstairs. "Okay. Goodnight Johnny." She called to me. I ate the rest of my food, took my shirt off and went to sleep, once again wearing a foolish, but happy smile.
