Chapter 10: Cabin Blues
Humphrey's P.O.V:
ALRIGHT! So.. I'm on my way to pick up Kate from her house for our trip to Keith's cabin. The whole way there I was getting looks and compliments on my car. It feels.. Weird driving my dads car. The car I was taken home from the hospital in.. The car WE built together. I just hope he's proud of me, wherever he is. I made it to Kate's house and sent her a text:
Need a lift goodlookin'? ;)
read 5:32pm
Once she read it I saw her look at me through her window and her look of shock made me chuckle to myself. I saw her leave the window, probably to come down. The door opened right after her silhouette left the window
"Woah that was fa- ohh shit.." I said to myself as I saw her dad walking to me. I turned the car off because the bass of the engine would make it hard for us to have a conversation.
I opened the door and put my arms on the vinyl roof as if it were a table.
"Hello sir" I said with a smile
"Hello, who are you?" he asked with a deep voice
"I'm Humphrey. A friend of Kates" I answered politely. As I did Kate came out of the house in the background and walked over to us with a worried face.
"Um hey Humphrey, dad.."
"I was just talking to your friend Humphrey" He answered
Kates P.O.V:
Oh boy… My dad got to Humphrey before I did. I can't call him just my 'friend' in front of Humphrey.. I'd feel bad. NO! You know what? The fact me and him have only been going out for a couple days and I already feel the way I do about him means something. I sighed and walked over to Humphrey and put my arm around his waist as he put one around me.
"Dad.. Humphrey is my boyfriend" I said truthfully. Dad just stood there and looked at the car.. Which is so FUCKING HOT! I LOVE this car!
"What's she got in her?" dad asked motioning his head to the front of the car.
"A uh 440 hemi five speed" Humphrey answered
"Wow! This thing would EAT my Impala" Dad said… okay what.. The FUCK is going on?
"Yeah Kate told me you have a '65 Impala. Very nice" Humphrey said chuckling
"Yeah I restored it about four years ago" He answered and Humphrey nodded and smiled.
"Anyway you kids have fun I won't keep you any longer" Dad said
"It was great meeting you sir" Humphrey said patting my back as if to say 'Let's go' and got in the car.
"I'll be right there" I said before shutting his door and jogging over to my dad
"Dad"
"Yes Kate?" he asked
"How come you're not.. Yknow.. Yelling at me about boyfriends?" I asked
"Because Kate… Humphrey seems like a great kid and he seems right for you" He answered
"Is it just because of the car?" I asked and he smiled
"Well.. I guess you could say it is.. I know that car.. It was his father's. I knew him. He was.. My best friend." He said looking at the Charger.
"Wow dad. I didn't know."
"Yeah well. I know you made the right choice. If he's anything like his dad" He said smiling and I smiled back and looked at Humphrey fiddling with his phone.
"Now go! Have fun" He said and I smiled and hugged him
"Thanks dad" I then jogged back over to the car and got in the passenger seat.
"Ready?" Humphrey asked one hand on the wheel the other on the shifter. I gave him a passionate kiss and said
"Yes, I'll go anywhere with you" he smiled and looked me in the eye. I know no one has ever said that to him just through the look he gave me. He smiled showing his white teeth and put the car into gear. I rolled the window down and waved at my dad who watched us leave.
Humphrey's P.O.V:
We just left Kate's house as I was going up the gears, 3rd now…
"Your dad is pretty cool" I said as I shifted to fourth
"Yeah that usually doesn't happen when I tell him I'm dating a guy" she said sounding surprised
"Huh. Guess I'm the lucky one eh?" I said chuckling and she giggled
"I guess so" then I saw her look at me then back at the road.
I came to a stop at a red light and got my phone out plugging it into an AUX cable
"Whoa whoa whoa.. You have an AUX cable in here!?" she asked surprised
"Ha yup they're really easy to install. I did it before I came to your house" I said going to YouTube then to my 'Songs' playlist and played 'Above and Beyond' by Eminem/Linkin Park ft. Big Sean, another mashup by my friend Kyle better known as 'Blaze Audio' (GIVE IT A LISTEN!). I heard a car pull up to the left of us and looked at it only to see Jack's blue '71 Cuda and Keith in the passenger seat laughing and looking at me as Jack revved his engine. I gladly answered with a revv of my engine.
"Humphrey.." Kate said
"Oh Kate if you don't feel safe with us ra-"
"Humphrey. I was gonna say.. BEAT HIM!" She said.. This is why I love her
I rolled my window down as did Keith
"Nice car sir!" Jack yelled from the driver side yelling because of the bass of the loud engines
"You too man!" I laughed then revved my engine again as did he. Our cars had a little conversation while I changed the song to 'All For Nothing (zWieR.Z. Remix)' by Linkin Park and right as Mike Shinoda said "Uh!" in the song the light turned red and we floored it! Perfect timing Mike.. we were neck and neck but what can I say… 440 BITCHES! We both have one! Anyway after we stopped at the gas station where we were all meeting Jack ran over and slowly laid on the hood of my car like a supermodel. I wasn't mad because it was fucking HILARIOUS and he was on the fender which he and I know is really strong so it wouldn't dent.
"AHAHAHA hey bro!" I said almost dying
"Hey bro HAHA! You got it running!" He said getting off and doing our handshake with me
"And it runs beautifully!" Keith said walking up from behind and hugging Kate
"Thanks man! But you guys helped" I said as Jack hugged Kate and Keith and I did the handshake. I opened the hood and showed them the monster.
"Damn dude always looks sexy" Keith said in awe and I chuckled
"Did she light up right away?" Jack asked
"No but it didn't take long" I answered as we saw Allen and Troy pull up in Allen's '71 Miura SV with shocked expressions. Jack playfully flipped him off and Allen stuck his finger out the window as they pulled up behind us.
"DAMN dude! You got it running!" Allen said closing his door
"Yup!" I said chuckling
"She's a beauty Humph" Troy said looking it over
"Thanks man" I said as we saw Mooch's white 2015 Toyota Tacoma with a black LED light bar on the roof and a black arb bumper. Yeah… His parents are rich and bought that FOR him.
"Damn" Jack said looking at his badass truck
"Hey guys" Salty said getting out of the passenger seat
"Humphrey is that..?" Shakey started getting out the back
"Yup! My dads Charger"
"Damn dude" Mooch said getting out of his truck
"Niiice" Shakey said. We all did our greetings and waited for the girls. Kate's friends.
"There they are" Kate said referring to a black 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Kate waved at them and they came over and parked behind Allen.
"Hey Kate!" a black with white underbelly girl said coming out of the passenger side door.
"Hey Kayla!" Kate said hugging her.
"Hey Jenna" Kate said hugging a red with white underbelly friend
"Hey Kate" She said smiling as she hugged her
Two more came out of the car, Aleu and Sophia (Jenna and Aleu aren't related in this Fic they are the same age so like… yeah) We all got to know each other and we all got along great!
"We should get going it's only about an hour up the road but we should get there before sunset." Keith said and we all agreed so we got in our cars and convoyed off. I turned my 4G off because I am NOT paying for that shit.. It's expensive as FUCK. Anyway… *cough* I went to my 'Music' app because we have Apple Music and went to my playlist where I played 'Apparently' by J. Cole.
"This weekend is going to be great!" I said as I hit 5th gear, which is pretty much my cruising gear for any manual car.
"Yeah it is! And we have Monday off so we can have our fun tomorrow and have time to help clean up" Kate replied looking out the window. We had a great talk the whole way and shared some laughs. It was… great. We finally made it to Keiths cabin and boy was it ever nice! We all parked under this massive tarp and put our bags inside.
"Wow this is beautiful Keith!" I said looking around the wooden floors, high ass roof, and these massive panoramic windows with an AMAZING view of the lake just around 20 feet away just across the massive backyard.
"Thanks man" he answered
"It was really nice of your parents to let us all come here" Sophia said
"Yeah make sure to thank them for us" Aleu said
"Will do!" Keith chuckled.
"Hey Aleu, Humphrey, can you guys come help me with the fireplace?" Jack asked from outside
"We're coming!" I said and we went out to the back
"Hey thanks guys" Jack said smiling at us with a lot of firewood in his arms
"No problem.. Need.. some help?" Aleu giggled at the amount of wood in his hands
"No thanks I'm okay but I do need your help setting it up" Jack said politely
"No problem. What can I do?" I asked
"Oh uh Humphrey can you grab some more firewood they're just around the side of the house"
"Sure thing dude"
"Thanks bro" He said before him and Aleu got to work and I started my way to the wood.
I got there and saw the HUGE pile of firewood in a box that definitely wasn't going to hold all that wood. I grabbed an arm full and turned around… only to be faced by 5 wolves that did NOT look happy. I think I recognized some of them from school. And then one walked out right in front of me, and stared into my soul with his cold green eyes.
"Garth!"
HAHAHA I'M A DICK I KNOW!
