Justice: Chapter 6 - Cheesecake


My index finger tapped impatiently against my wheel as I glared at the bumper ahead of me. This couldn't be any more irritating. At least that's what I thought until Barry began rather loudly blasting the radio. His singing wasn't good, but it wasn't at the point where I could saw it was horrible either. Making me jump, he excitedly pointed at a billboard on the side of the road. Tandem Flying. Feel the breeze on your face. Lame sign, but it sounded cool. Looking back to the road an awkward space had appeared in front of me. This was embarrassing. Slamming my gas, I rolled forward until we crept up on the unmoving traffic in front of us. Out of the corner of my eyes I could see purple trees as I drove. This drive turning out to be kind of romantic, now if only Barry could calm down for just a moment. Traffic began to move along finally, I let out a sigh of relief.

The music got louder as the Speedster turned it up more, "I'm gonna lasso your heart like a rodeo!" He leaned across the mid-section to sing closer to me. "Cause all I see is an open door. Annd I see where it's leading me~ All of this energy bottled up for way too long~ " One of his hands pressed into my arm as the left side/top of his head pressed into mine. "You see what I'm getting at… I'm ready for all of it. If I'm not a star, you're blind." Why were we listening to this girly song? My eyes narrowed as feeling one of his arms slide around my shoulders. His hand fanned out as he wiggled around his fingers, "I've got rings on my rings! And glitter in my hair~" He the opposite side of his head dramatically. "I'm gonna run this town, run this town~" His eyelids fluttered closed as he pulled away from me and pressed his hands into his chest. "I've got high heel stilettos, and I'm kicking in door! And kissing your ass ain't what my lipstick's for~"

Continuing from there, I only grew more annoyed. The song repeating itself many times as he sang so joyously. Well, I'm happy that he's in a good mood. Slowly, I began to bounce to the beat as we drove down the road. My eyes went wide as he rolled down the window at one point and began to sing at other cars as well. I should've had child-lock on.

I sped up and went past the slow car I was behind. There was a hoard of truckers ahead, but I figured it should be alright seeing as our vehicle was pretty small. "Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake… Isn't T-Swift awesome!" Not really, but he was really enjoying this car ride. Seeing him do jazz hands and then make an angry face, I snorted. This guy could be so weird. I glanced out the side window and a smile spread over my face at the view.

"That is gorgeous." He leaned into me and looked, "you're right."

I wrapped my arm around his, entwining our fingers as I continued to push through the trucks. "So," I looked at him from the corner of my eye. "Your birthday is coming up. Is there anything you want?"

"You'll do." I leaned my head on to the top of his as I relaxed some. However, I realized what an embarrassing thing I had just said. "Actually, you know what you could get me." I huffed out a couple of times trying to think of something, and I looked at a billboard as we drove by. "Cheesecake…" My eyes went wide and I stared out in front of me.

Feeling him shift slightly, I glanced in his direction, "okay. Cheesecake it is."
