This little story was in my head very long time and a couple of years ago I put it on the paper. It took forever but now here it is!
THIS IS A COMEDY. DON'T TAKE IT TOO SERIOUSLY ;) (WARNING: man x man and f-words)
"I LOVE BAD GUYS..."
Heavy clouds filled the sky and the cold wind blew from the North. I smiled bitterly: perfect! Just a moment ago sun was shining and now, now it looked like it could rain in any minute. Luckily I had my car, so it wouldn't be too bad. I didn't like the rain, though: too wet and cold.
I turned the radio on and started the engine. My lips curved for a smile when I heard a familiar beat and my fingers automatically started their dance on the wheel. This could be a lovely day, fuck the weather!
It was almost two o'clock and I realised my stomach curled for the need of food and my brain wanted some coffee.
"Don't ever drive when you are drunk or sleepy", were my dad's orders years ago when I got my driver's license. I parked my red car in front of some nice looking café: not too cheap, but when you ordered pancakes and coffee you would have some change back. In fact there was a sign that said: This is the place your wallet will love!
Well, I admit, not the best ad phrase, but what ever, if I could get something to my mouth.
A little bell above the door welcomed me when I stepped inside. It was the only one. There wasn't anyone behind the counter and it looked like I was the only customer. I headed to the counter and there was another bell. I took it and jolted. The little gling gling-sound pounced from wall to wall. Nobody. I rang the bell again, this time louder. I waited and was about to redo the gesture but then a blond head popped from the kitchen door.
"I'm gonna be there for a second!" he yelled and I saw a massive pile of plates behind him. I sat on the soft bar chair and glanced the menu. Before I had time to decide what I wanted to eat, the blond head was back.
"Sorry for the wait. Don't ever put "a free bun when you got two"-sign in front of the cafeteria at the 9 o'clock in the morning. The whole place will be filled with truckers and builders…" he explained and put the coffee machine on.
"Yeah, I can see that…" I smiled and returned to the menu. At the corner of my eye, I checked the little "hard worker". He was small, but I guessed he could be only two or three years younger than me. He got a messy hair and tiny fingers. When he turned to face me, I saw his blue eyes. Those really caught my guard off! They were like deep ocean. Yeah, I know! Lame, but it fits him.
"So, reddie, what can I get for ya?" he smiled somehow seductively and I mentally raised my brows.
"Well, that depends what ya have for me", I teased him with a grin. He laughed sweetly and made my grin turn into a warm smile.
"Coffee? And some sandwiches?" he offered.
"Black, please", was my answer and he went to the cupboard. I watched when he took a chair and climbed on it before he reached to the top shelf. He stumbled a bit, but finally managed to get a mug on his hand.
"You know, you could remove the cups to the shelf you actually can reach…" I said amused.
"I know, but then you wouldn't have a change to check my behind…" he smirked and put a hand on his hip. I couldn't but laugh warmly: this kid was amazing! And he was right. I did check his ass, in fact I double check it and fuck, it was nice! He hopped to the floor and put the mug in front of me with a smile.
"So…where did you came?" he asked and leaned to the table behind him. I shrugged and simply said:
"Just enjoying my freedom". He raised an eyebrow.
"Break up with a girl?" he asked and poured coffee to my mug.
"Nje…"
"A guy?" was his second one. I smiled briefly.
"That has been awhile…" I took a sip and shivered: that was one hell of a coffee!
"So what do you mean by "freedom", then?" he continued.
I glanced at him, but before I was able to answer, a loud music filled the air.
"Ops, sorry, my phone", the blond explained and vanished to the kitchen. I sipped my coffee and was actually happy for the brief moment of thinking: could I tell him or better yet, SHOULD I tell him? He was very cute and interesting and I wasn't gonna blow my chances to get his number…
"No, no! He looks like some cool thief, like from Ocean's Eleven! Tattoos and everything!" voice came from the kitchen. My eyes blinked and a little worry raised its head.
"Well, you know how I just love bad guys…" my coffee-makers voice made chills run threw my body; now, I really want to hear that voice when my lips make their way down his chest.
"Calm down, Axel!" my brain yelled, but I wasn't able to avoid a grin when I pictured that little blonds shivering body under mine and his lips caressing…
I made my decision: I could tell!
When he returned from the kitchen, I smiled and winked at him.
"Your better half or something?" I wanted to know if he was "available". I'm not one of those break-the-families- kind of guy.
"Nope, just a friend", he smiled and started to make my sandwich.
"So, is there someone special in your life?" I continued the innocent conversation. Though I knew he knew I just wanted to know if his single or not. He looked over his shoulder and grinned.
"Yeah, plenty! My parents, brother, aunt, my hamster…" he teased and in the same time sliced tomatoes. I sighed a little, but took the answer as a "no". For a while there was only the chopping voice of the knife.
"What's your name, blondie?" I asked suddenly.
"Why you want to know, reddie?" he teased again and reached for a mayonnaise.
"So I know who I'm going to ask for a date", I said casually. He turned to face me with a delicious looking sandwich and handed the plate to me. I took it and waited his answer.
"Roxas", he said warmly and before I knew it, my brains stopped when my eyes locked with his. First there were the same warmth as was in his voice a moment ago, then there was wondering, then a glint of longing and…did I saw it right: lust?
"So, what's your name, stranger?" he asked and tore his orbs away. I was so stunned by his emotional eyes that it took me couple of seconds to understand his question.
"Ah, yeah, sorry. I'm Axel".
"And what you really meant by "freedom"?" he went to the subject we left before the phone. I bit the bread and swallowed it with a sip of coffee.
"I'm not sure if I should tell you about this…" I started and let my voice trail off. I noticed he was eager to hear more. I was eager to hear some more from him, so I continued:
"Well, I did something very shitty and wrong and got cops after me. Eventually they caught me and hello Mexico's finest hotels!" I smirked when Roxas looked at me a bit confused.
"That means jail", I explained and took another bite of my meal.
"So, what did you do?" he asked and tried to keep his voice cool, but I noticed he was getting exited. Points for me!
"Nja, you don't wanna know. And that's not important. I made it through the whole time and now I'm going to enjoy my freedom", I whispered and made him shiver a bit.
"It's a date then?" he smiled and took the empty plate and the mug.
"Right now, if you want", I said and leaned over the wooden counter to put the payment on the inner side of it. At the same moment Roxas turned and my head almost bumped to his stomach.
"Careful!"
I lifted my head and realised he was really close. My eyes wondered from his eyes to his lips and to his eyes again. I could felt his breath against my cheek, eucalyptus. I wanted to inhale his scent and touch those lips so badly. Before I managed to make any movements, I heard a deep sigh and then his lips smashed on mine. Immediately I felt like there was a huge fire inside of me. When I stuck my tongue to ask a promotion to enter, he opened his mouth more than willingly. I heard a deep moan and that made my hands flew on his hair. I felt the hard counter against my stomach and a very large need for some oxygen, so I broke the kiss. Roxas made a sound of disappointment.
"Sorry, love, I need your body more", I said with a husky voice and with that he jumped over the counter.
"Wow, are you from circus or something?" I smirked.
"Shut up", he said and pushed himself to me so we stepped back and landed on one of the coach-like chairs. His hands made their way on to my jacket.
"Take it off", he demanded. With that voice I could do anything for him! His lips found my collarbone and started to suck it gently. I moaned out loud and got a grip on his hips. I could feel his smile on my skin and then a little bite too. My jacket flew on the floor as so did my t-shirt.
"Someone has been working out…" he chuckled and his fingertips started their adventure on my chest and biceps. Oh God, that felt so amazing!
"Kiss me", I heard myself whispering. Roxas smiled sweetly and soon I felt his lips against my stomach. I made a surprised sound.
"You didn't say where", he laughed and continued his way lower.
"Wel-oh, no, my mistakeh, sorry", I moaned and automatically lifted my hips.
"Oh no, don't rush things, hottie", he smirked and returned to face me. I used opportunity and caught his lips in a deep kiss. We both lost to the emotions and the feeling of the others touches. At some point Roxas' shirt had flown to the floor and my belt half opened. I was just about to get rid of my pants when there was a loud clinging sound. My hands froze and we both looked to the door.
"Well, well. That is a sight you can't see every day!"
A tall man with an eye patch stood at the door frame and looked really amused.
"Xigbar, what in the seven hells you're doing here?" I got my voice back and tried my best to kill the man by stare. He smiled wider and took a step inside.
"I was about to ask the same question", Xigbar grinned, "but you don't have to answer, I can see it…" his eyes focused on Roxas when he got up and grabbed his shirt from the tiled floor.
"Uhm, can I get something to you?" the blond asked and tried to hide his embarrassment.
"If there are some good-looking waiter girls hiding in the kitchen you could send them here", Xigbar smiled and turned to my direction. I let the anger show in my face when I got up and started to collect my things.
"Hey, reddie! I have something for you", man said and threw a small object towards me. I catch it from the air. It was my ID. I knitted my brows and automatically touched my back pocket.
"You left it in 'our hotel'. Would I not be your best puddy if I haven't jumped in the car and bring it to you?" he explained. I smiled a little, but noticed then my 'hard worker' with two cups of coffee.
"There you go, gents", he smiled sweetly and put the drinks on the counter. I smiled for him with a silent apology. He nodded and walked to the kitchen. I made my way to the barstool and glanced my friend. He stood and watched me before followed my steps. When he had his hands around the coffee cup, he opened his mouth:
"I can't understand how you can do it, but I have to admire your skill. What did you do? How the hell did you sweet-talked yourself a quickie in the middle of the day in the public restaurant?!"
I glanced at him and sipped my coffee.
"No public here, I think, and it wasn't like that…"
"Oh, now I know! You told him you love coffee!"
Another glance with a knowing don't-give-me-a-shit- glint.
"Oh, okay…He has just broken up and you gave him a shoulder to cry on. No, no, you told him you was in prison and he just happened to like bad guys and…" Xigbar's voice trailed off when he saw my expression.
"Axel? You did! Oh my God, you dog!" he laughed.
Now I really wanted him to shut up, before he would say anything more. Something I didn't want Roxas to hear, at least not right now!
"Shut the fuck up, Xigbar!" I warned him and stood up. "You want to light up? Then gulp that coffee and come!"
Xigbar grinned, but didn't move.
"Oh, I assume you haven't told him everything, Axel. Tsik, tsik, didn't you know honesty is the key in the relationships?"
"Xigbar, I warn you", I hissed under my breath. He put his empty cup on the counter, left some coins and stood up. Mentally I sighed for relief and headed to the door, waiting him to follow. I really needed one cig though a month ago I had promised not to smoke ever again…But when you're friends with a guy like Xigbar those kind of promises don't mean a thing.
"Axel? You leaving?" came a question from the kitchen door. It wasn't angry, disappointed or sad. It was just a question.
"No, Roxie, Xigbar wants to damage his lungs with these", I grinned a little and lifted one cancer stick from my pocket. He nodded and made a smile.
"Hey… Roxie was it? Did Axel tell you…"
"Xigbar, I just remembered: I owe you that hundred from the trip to California! Here you go!" I slammed couple of bills on my friend's hand and looked at him with the shut-the-hell-up-or-I-kill-you- look. Fortunately Xigbar wasn't a guy known by a heavy wallet, but his splendid talent to waste every coin. He looked at me, grinned and walked out.
"See you later!" and he was gone. I sighed with relief.
"You ready?" a question came from my bag. I smiled and turned to face the blond.
"Couldn't be more".
AFTER ONE YEAR…
"Axel?"
"What, my dear?"
"Why were you in prison?" Roxas asked and hopped on to the bed. I shifted my position so he could lie down beside me. My hands travelled on his bare arm and slightly slipped under the t-shirt he always wore at nights. Well, not so often if it was mine to decide... He smiled and let my fingers continue the way down his hips. He leaned closer and soon I felt his warm lips against my own. Oh, fuck, he was a good kisser! Before I knew it, my heart raced like after a long run and my blood was boiling hot.
"So, why?" he asked in the middle of the kiss. I blinked.
"What?"
"Pay attention, reddie. Why-you-were-in-a-prison?" he put a weight on every word and looked straight to my eyes. I tried to figure out how can I avoid his question, but my brain didn't work, so I sighed and lifted myself in the sitting position. He sat too and waited.
"Uh, I, I got too drunk and… chased… pigeons in the park, so the police had to lock me in before… those poor birds would die in fear".
There was a silence then a chuckle and Roxas' laugh pounced from wall to wall.
"Yeah, just laugh at me. I always knew I'm a funny guy…" I tried to keep my expression blank, but something on my boyfriend's laugh made my lips turn up. Maybe it was the fact he is my Boyfriend now and hopefully forever.
Thanks for reading. Feedback is always useful ^^ Good day!
