"Squid we're going like one hundred miles an hour!" I said, pleading for his foot to ease off the petal, even a little bit. He didn't answer me. He looked straight ahead. His hands were gripped so tightly to the steering wheel, his knuckles were white.
"Slow down!" I insisted, hitting his arm. It was about 2 am on Christmas morning and we were racing down an empty street.
"Where are we going anyways?" I asked, looking out the window.
"Would you shut up for like two seconds?" He said, his voice half laughing half demanding. I let out a sigh of frustration and leaned back in my seat.
"Well can we…"
"Shorty." He drew my name out and gritted his teeth. I didn't understand why he had dragged me out of bed at one am to drive for an hour in the middle of no where.
"But I…"
"No Shorty."
"Squid really….SQUIRREL!" I screamed causing him to slam on his breaks, making us both hurl forward into the dashboard.
"What the fuck?" He asked, looking at me with panicked eyes.
"There was a squirrel." I said, looking at the floor.
"God damn." He muttered. "Have you no patience woman?" He asked smiling at me.
"Not really." I replied giggling.
"Can you at least wait like 30 more minutes?" He asked.
"Ok." I said, pouting best I could. He started up the car again, laughing, and continued to drive.
"You do know its Christmas morning." I said.
"Again with the talking!" He said. "I quit. I'll have to silence you." He pulled over to the side of the road and put the car in park.
"What are you going to do bind me up with rope?" I asked.
"No. Better." He unbuckled his seatbelt.
"Oh I get where this is going." I said slyly removing mine too. And then, in the heat of the moment, headlights poured into the car, blinding both of us. The car slowed down and parked next to us. Squid got up from on top of me and looked out the window. Some fat guy was sitting the front seat, his dog in the passengers. The man opened the passenger side window and Squid opened his.
"Well howdy!" The man said.
"Hi?" Squid asked, wondering why the man had interrupted our, episode.
"What are you and that lovely lady," he had peered around to look at me, "doing out here this early in the morning?"
"That's our business." Squid said stiffly.
"How old are ya boy?" The man asked warningly.
"18." Squid replied, less confident than before.
"Alright then, how bout you ditch that girl and come with me to meet some more around the corner." Squid looked at me.
"What?" He asked, confused.
"You probably got your moneys worth out of that one so hop in I'll take you for some more action." The man smiled. "You can bring her too." He added.
"What the fuck dude, that's my girlfriend!" Squid said angrily.
"Oh well sorry but you don't see a couple of youngsters like yourself going at it over here unless the dudes paying her."
"We were not going at it." I hissed.
"Well you kids have fun." He rolled up his window and sped off into the night.
"Well that was, odd." Squid said, putting his hands on the steering wheel but not starting the car.
"Yeah." I agreed. We both looked ahead for a while, and then Squid continued driving.
After about 30 more minutes of driving, Squid ordered me to shut my eyes. I felt the car stop running and the trunk pop open. After about 10 more minutes, the door opened and I reached for Squids hand. I held it tight as he helped me out of the car.
We walked on what felt like sand for a while.
"Alright open your eyes." And I did. In front of me, on top of a blanket of what looked like snow, lay a small box, flowers, candles and a pie.
"It looks like snow!" I said, walking over to the area.
"Yeah I know you've never seen it and always have wanted to so I took the liberty of making some for you." I looked at him questionably.
"How'd you know I've always wanted to see snow? I've never told you that."
"I have my sources." He said, grinning playfully. I ran to him, jumped into his arms and kissed him passionately. We fell to the ground, still entwined with our kiss. It felt like one of those passionate scenes from a classic romantic movie.
"Well are you going to open your gift?" He asked, breaking the kiss. He handed the small delicate box to me.
"Is this the thing that you made sound like you were getting illegally?" I asked, pausing before pulling the ribbon.
"Just open it." He said laughing. Pulling the ribbon slowly, I opened the top of the box, revealing a silver chain with a heart on it.
"Turn it over." He said anxiously. I did and read the back of the heart.
Til we're old and gray. Shorty & Squid.
"Squid! Who knew you could be so sentimental!" I said, jumping onto him for another kiss.
"Yeah, I know I'm a big softly." He said. I smiled and lay my head in his lap. He stroked my hair and we watched the waves crash in front of us.
I smiled the entire ride home. When we pulled into the driveway of my house it was about 5 am and I could see my moms face in the window. She looked angry. She didn't wait for me to even get out of the car before busting down the front door and walking straight over to our car.
"Kelly where have you been I've been worried sick! You didn't leave a note and when I checked in on you this morning you weren't there. Oh and hi Alan." Of course go easy on him; he's the one that dragged me out of bed.
"Mrs. Jackson…"
"Please call me Ms. Jackson Alan."
"Ok, Ms. Jackson, it's not Kelly's fault at all. I kinda dragged her out of bed this morning to drive her to the beach. I wanted to give her my Christmas present there." My mother cupped his face in her hands.
"Oh I don't blame you Alan." She said. "But Kelly could have said no." She turned to me.
"But it's so pretty!" I said, showing her the necklace.
"Good taste. Well everyone's inside. Greg's getting annoyed and wants to open presents so you better hurry. Would you like to stay Alan?" Squid nodded slowly. "Good well, let's get to it." We all filed inside. My brother ran to the doorway.
"Where have you been Kelly….you, what did you do to her?" He attempted to lung at Squid.
"What are you talking about?" I asked, pushing him away.
"He kidnapped you this morning. I heard it. What did you do, gag her and rape her?!" Squid looked around confused.
"Greg he took me to the beach and gave me a lovely necklace." Greg frowned.
"You're lucky she's here." He warned.
"No dude, you're lucky." Squid said calmly.
"Alan dear would you come help me in the kitchen?" My mom called.
"Sure Ms. Jackson." He jogged to the kitchen.
"So you sure he didn't touch you, try to make a move on you?" Greg asked in a hushed tone. I laughed.
"I'm sure Greg. And what's the deal anyways?" I asked through a fit of laughter.
"I'm just concerned that's all." He said stiffly. I raised my eyebrows.
"Presents!" I yelled, looking behind Greg at the tree.
"Oh right. Well we better get started." My mother entered the room with Squid whose face was covered in flour.
"Dare I ask?" I said, fighting off giggles again.
"It seems Alan here isn't the baking type." My mother said, wiping her hands on her apron.
"Me first!" I said, running to the tree. I grabbed one with my name on it. It was a box from my brother. I ripped it open and my eyes widened at the box.
"What is it?" Squid asked, trying to get a peak.
"It, uhm, a Carmen Electra Professional Pole Kit." I said, still starring at it.
"A what?" My mother asked, ripping the box from my hands. "Carmen Electra Electra-Pole Professional Pole Kit…men snap to attention as you steal the spotlight and it gets HOT!!! Novice or experienced, you'll look like a pro…" My mother glared at my brother.
"Sweet!" Squid said loudly.
"Gregory how could you get your sister such a thing? I hope you plan on returning that for something more… appropriate." My brother groaned.
"Weren't you the one just talking to me about something similar to this?" I asked him.
"Yeah, you didn't open the furry handcuffs yet." My mothers jaw dropped. "I'm kidding mom." He added.
"Well, Greg, here's you gift from Kelly. I hope it's not something like a farting machine." My mom warned.
"I'm sure he'll just love it." I said smirking. He glanced at m warily before opening the package.
"Well what it is?" My mom asked. My brother held up the shirt. It had what looked like his ribs with a marijuana plant in it.
"Mom wasn't supposed to know." He said, leaning in to whisper to me.
"She still doesn't." I said, gesturing to my mom, looking confused.
"Why is there a plant in your lungs?" She asked.
"No reason." He said and quickly shoved the box under the tree.
"Now my gift two you both." She handed Squid and I both envelopes.
"Ms. Jackson I can't…" My mom held up her hand.
"Just open it." Squid and I looked at each other.
"1….2…3." We both tore open the envelopes.
"Dear Kelly Jackson we are please to inform you that you HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED TO SAN ANTONIO UNIVERSITY!" Squid smiled as he read his.
"You?" I asked hopefully.
"Me." He said, handing me the letter. I read the first line and grinned. I ran to him and hugged him tightly before kissing him.
"Oh please." My brother said, walking out of the room. My mother smiled as she watched how happy we were. That was the best Christmas ever.
yay. review. i've missed them a lot.
