Lady Bug
"MATT! GET YOUR FUCKING ASS UP!" I yell at the lethargic red head sleeping on the old beaten up couch.
Matt's eyelids open and his green eyes stare up at me. I expect him to say something along the lines of "give me five more minutes." Or "Come on Mel, could you please let me sleep in for at least a little bit longer?" But what he does do surprises me a bit.
The corner of his mouth lifts and he gives me a cute little half smile. "Alright Mels."
His hand reaches up and he brings my face close to his. His soft tender lips find mine and well…let's just say we got a little carried away. Heh.
After our little, ehm, interruption…he looks at me with his beautiful eyes again "Morning, Mels."
I swear his smile just takes my breath away. But of course I'm not gonna show him my soft side. Pshht, I don't even have a soft side. I am Mello. Mello is tough, manly, and…Awh what the hell am I saying? I'd be surprised if Matt hadn't seen my soft side by now.
I glare at him. "Yeah, whatever. Get your lazy ass up and get to work."
He quickly obliges with a small sigh and walks over to his laptop. I walk out the door to hop on my motorcycle to go for a quick ride to Taco Bell to pick up some food.
I start the engine and fly out of the parking lot. I zoom past cars and buildings. I see colors flying by me in my perceptual vision. I finally arrive at my destination. Suddenly I feel a creepy-crawly feeling on my arm. My instant reflexes kick in as I go to whack whatever kind of bug is climbing up my arm. But just before my hand destroys it, I realize it's just a lady bug.
I stare for a little bit as the harmless insect crawls up my arm. In a way it kind of reminds me of Matt. His lazy ass is irritating at first, but then I realize how truly beautiful and innocent he really is. I honestly don't know what I would do without him. Without my own personal lady bug.
