Six Strings and Sin

INFINITE LOOP 2.0

The others would stay as they had come with their bags for the summer and once it ended they'd leave straight for school, that was very convenient. My aunt even suggested we all drive back in my G – wagon and I couldn't be more thrilled about the idea. I loved it and couldn't wait. Kieran would be back before we took off. We didn't waste any minute during our stay at St. Joseph. And on the last friday there, packing up and loading my car, a taxi pulled up at exactly 1300 hours and Kieran got out with just two suitcases. I grinned so hard and leaped onto him, my arms around his neck as I kissed him deeply,

"I missed you, glad you are here"

"I couldn't wait to get back, i missed you too muy muy mucho"

I blushed just hearing that Spanish accent , it gets even hotter in the bedroom and I can't help my face from heating up thinking about those moments. Goodness I've known the guy for like what 4 weeks and I'm so far gone I can't help but like the feeling. I snuggle close to his neck and inhale his sandy spicy scent,

"I really missed you Kieran" I say and hug him tighter still clinging to him like a koala, legs wrapped around his waist.

"Get a fucking room losers" Talon comes around us with the rest and they get into a group hug after Kieran lets me down.

"Jealous?" I say to Talon

"In your dreams Lizzie, In your dreams" he muses.

"Alright children time for you to hit the road and for me to hit the beach for some much needed tan and alcohol" My aunt descends the steps again still in a bikini and a sheer flowing top not forgetting the damn heels.

We all chuckle and move to hug her individually as we get in the car. I linger a bit and hug her tighter.

"Thanks Aunty A for having us, I had so much fun, I wish you'd stay over again" She squeezes me a bit tighter and pats my back. "Always welcome Princess, I'm joining your folks in Thailand tomorrow and I'll be sure to relay everything to them, facetime wasn't enough we both know that. Get going kiddo, Call me when you get there. Have a safe one guys" She says just as the rest put their heads out their windows, what the hell are they, dogs? I giggle at that thought, I'm so happy to have friends I almost tear up. They wave aggressively while shouting "Bye Aunty A, Mr & Mrs Cruz, The beach and everything else " I laugh as I get on the drivers side, backing up the driveway and we are on the highway back. This time we aren't so lucky because traffic is really bumper to bumper. Most of everyone in the back is asleep except for Kieran and myself, I mean I'm driving so yeah.

Kieran had put some mellow rock music, not too hard not too soft and we had sat in an off and on again silence, sometimes we'd sing along, sometimes we'd talk of random stuff. Thirty minutes away from campus at exactly 2000 hours, Kailani, Cora, Talon and Robin stir awake, energized and ready for the night.

"Kssssh attention, all aboard, T- Minus 29 minutes to Location, Over" I say in my most distorted military mimic ever.

"Are you on meth?" Robin says as the rest howl.

"Just a heads up people..... alright you're all up." Once we arrive and everyone is outside I reveal my plan. I turn to Kieran.

"Did you book housing at the dorms?" I ask with fingers crossed.

"Not yet i was planning to bunk in with Talon and Robin since they're in the same room then do it the next day."

"Good, how would you feel if i asked you to move in with me to my apartment?" I blurt out. Everyone went silent just staring at me.

"Smooth one lassie, real smooth" Kailani and Cora say at the same time.

"No as in, i mean if you want, i figured i'd put the option up on the table or something then later on if the rest are okay we can get a bigger place to stay together, I mean it's not like ... I don't know, I mean you can say no I just want you close to me and...." Before I finish my rambles Kieran is shutting me up with a soft kiss.
