Wild Summer

Chapter 17

"Where are we going?", I ask for the millionth time. It felt as if I was riding this thing to nowhere. For hours! Well it was only a couple of minutes but still!
"Keep going", came the curt response. Blah blah blah.
"Whatever", I mumble. This caused him to squeeze my hips slightly. Focus Skii focus.
"What did you just say?", his voice was daring. Daring me to repeat what I had just muttered.
Silence.
"I thought so ", he said, I could feel that annoying little smirk on his marble face. Ass.
"Turn here", he orders. I turn to see and continue riding until I'm now infront of a tall building with the words 'Shoot your best shot' marked on it in big , bold letters. Well then this looked interesting. Several cars were already parked here and even a few motorcycles and bicycles.

"Where are we?", I ask genuinely curious.
"A shooting parlo", he says. His voice was raw of emotion. His face showed nothing. He was actually serious.
"Are you serious?", I ask eyeing him.
"Do I look like a man who loves wasting time on things such as jokes?", he asks icily. Dark brown eyes boring in mine.
"So let me get this straight, you took me, your lovely date to a shooting vicinity on my first date?", I ask incrediously.
"Yes".
Ofcourse he did! Ginning happily I jump off my bike.
"Awesome! Well what are we waiting for? Let's go!", I yell energetically walking towards the entrance. What? I always wanted to learn how to shoot and now was my chance I'm so excited. How did he even know I liked guns? Hmmm I'd ask him later.

Grinning like a chesire cat I push open the big black door to see a big, tall thick man behind a desk. Well more like a showcase. Showcase of guns! They were lovely.
"I see you like guns. Can you shoot one?", came Rome's cool voice. Man! how I loved this asse's voice!
"Yes yes I do and nope!", I say popping the 'p' looking up at him.
" Well your in luck. I'll teach you a bit today", he says looking down at me for a brief moment. Yes! Yes! I was gonna learn how to shoot. This will be easy. Little did I know.

Couple exhausting, infuriating, annoying hours later.

Bam! Bam! Bam!
Looking ahead at my target, not one scratch was on the paper man thingy! Not one! Not a single bullet mark! Ughhhh!
"You stupid piece of paper man thing! Die already dieeee", I scream out of frustration.
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! I had to at least leave a scratch now. Glancing hesitantly at my target I curse lowly seeing that he was still very much alive. I turn to see Rome, his statue like face expressionless but something was swimming in those pool of chocolate orbs. He wanted to laugh!

"Hey you stone faced bastard! Wipe that look off your stupid face!", I yell venomously glaring at him. He looked so good. He was standing in a corner with his arms folded infront of him.
"Whatever could you mean?", he ask tilting his head a glint if fire in his eyes. Son of a bitch.
"Since you want to gloat. Show me what you've got", I say raising my nose on the air. He pushes himself off the wall, unfolds his arm and slowly stalks towards me. His eyes never leaving mine. Suddenly all thoughts of murdering him vanished and my mouth was dry.
What the hell is happening to me!
He was now in-front of me, towering over me. I was now facing his broad chest. I will not back down! Slowly I meet his gaze head on, gulping I wet my lips. Ofcourse like a predator he watches my every movement. My breathing becomes heavy, he was so close. Too close.

Slowly he starts to lean in, still his eyes never leaving mine. No no not so fast big guy! I quickly take a big step back and hand him the gun. His cold eyes burn into mine tilting his head as if measuring me up. He steps toward the target then Bam ! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
I stood there staring at the target mouth agape. Seven bullets to the head. Oh, he was good.
"Impressive, now teach me that", I order. Silence. That's what I got. His arctic stare was enough for me to know he did not appreciate being told what to do. Clearing my throat, nose in the air.
"Teach me that, please", I say softer this time.
