Tweener drove down the road with one hand on the steering wheel and the other was laced with mine. I can honestly say that it felt perfect just the two of us riding in this car. I couldn't help but imagine that this is how we were going to spend the rest of our lives. The thought made me look over at him and smile.
"What?" he asked grinning.
"Nothing, I just really missed this." I said leaning into him.
We were almost to town and I watched as Tweener's hand gripped the steering wheel a little tighter. Something was on his mind. I pulled away so I could look at him to try and figured out what was bothering him.
"I'm just trying to figure out, where do we go from here after we get the money?"
I grinned wide and leaned in even closer to him.
"We can go wherever we want to. Just the two of us."
Tweener smiled back at me at the thought of it finally just being the two of us. I could only imagine a dozen places that we could go to. I let out a giggle in thinking that we didn't have to just pick one place to stay either. Maybe we could spend the rest of our lives travelling the world.
"Laney I thought about you constantly when we were separated." He admitted.
I blushed and dropped my gaze to the floor. He stroked the inside of my palm with his thumb as he continued.
"I just needed to tell you things, but you weren't around so I… uh…I wrote a song about you."
My mouth dropped as I looked at Tweener with excitement. If he really wrote a song about me I wanted to hear it. He however turned his attention back to the road and dropped the conversation. He wasn't getting off that easily. I cozied up to him the best I could in the car and begged him to sing the song for me. After 16 promised kisses and 3 promised proposals later, Tweener agreed to sing me the song.
I've been looking under rocks and breaking locks, just tryin' to find ya
Cause I finally found the girl of my dreams
That's how much you mean to me
Laney, you're my it girl, lovin' you could be a crime
So go ahead and give me 25 to life
My jaw was getting numb from how much I was smiling at the end of that song. I clapped at the end of it and cheered for more, and I could see Tweener's ears turning red. I told him at least five or six times in a row that I loved the song and leaned over to give him a light peck on the cheek. I especially loved the part where he incorporated being in prison into the song. After all, if it weren't for a prison we might not have ever met. We finally reached town and the gas station wasn't too hard to find. Tweener quickly whipped the car into the nearest available pump. He stepped out of the car to fill it with gas, and I exited the car too. Tweener already had the gas pumping and was resting against the car when I came around and wrapped my arms around him. He buried his face in my hair and wrapped his arms around my waist. I looked up at him and wrapped both of my arms around his neck and started to lean in. He grinned and pulled me up trying to close the distance between our lips.
A car honked at us and we effectively pulled away. I let out a frustrated huff and blew my hair out of my face. All I wanted to do was to kiss Tweener and never ever pull away. Tweener rubbed the back of his neck and told me he was going to go pay for the gas. He quickly hurried inside and I rested against the car waiting for him. I just watched all of the people and the cars that went by, which wasn't too many. Only one car pulled into the gas station, and it was this big black SUV. I didn't even want to think how much it would cost to put gas in that thing. The strangest thing was that the SUV never pulled up to get gas. It was just sitting in the parking lot, and I felt like it was watching me. I looked back to the gas station, and Tweener was panicking as he bolted from the door.
"Run! Laney Run!"
I didn't even have time to register what he was saying before he grabbed my hand and we started running. The black SUV had turned his lights on and started speeding towards us. If we didn't pick up speed it was probably going to hit us. It almost did. It stopped just in time, but I had hit the side of it with my hand. I gasped when I looked in the front window and Mahone and my father were sitting in the front seat. I don't know how they found us, but I reached out for Tweener's hand again and we took off running.
A/N: Hoped you liked this chapter! I would love to hear what you guys think of the story so far, and what you are looking forward to in the coming chapters...sorry to leave you with a cliffhanger. I know I know, before you review and tell how much of a lyrical genius I am for Tweener's rap, you should probably know that I took different lyrics from Jason Derulo's 'It Girl'. =)
