Storm / Reece Bibby

12

"I'm going on a bike!" I heard my dad shout.

"Without me? When was the last time you went on a bike with me, huh?" And there was my mum.

"And when was the last time I went alone?"

"I go alone all the time!"

"Yeah, when I'm at work. I don't want you to slow me down!"

"Okay, I will go on my own then! Don't you dare to meet me on the way!"

I heard footsteps and seconds later my dad opened the door to my room. "Did you hear that? Don't you dare to meet me!" He snapped and was already gone.

I was so done with them sometimes but in a good way. It wasn't a real fight, they just loved to be all weird and it was funny to watch. I looked at Reece.

"Are they okay?" He asked in between the laughs.

"Welcome to our house." I said. "They got so fit recently, it's crazy. I think I prefered when my dad was talking only about The Godfather. Now it's bikes and swimming and all that jazz." I explained.

"But are they aware that it's December?"

"Is is snowing?"

"No..."

"So nothing will stop them until there's snow."

We were currently in my room, sitting on a bed and just talking. It was weird and amazing at the same time to have Reece so close to me again.

"Wow, looks like everything has changed somehow." He said.

"That's what happens when you don't see someone for over two years." I said. I wasn't over this fact, even if everything seemed to be finally perfect.

"Yeah..."

I knew I made him feel awkward so I gave him my guitar. "Come on. Sing me something nice."

He smiled shyly and started playing. After a few chords I recognised the song, it was Make It Better by Anderson .Paak.

How do you mend when you're worlds apart?
Ooh, carry on
Ooh, from the start
Somehow, we fell in love, then fell right out of touch
Ooh, that was hard
Ooh, here we are
And it's easier to walk away
Than to look for what would make you stay
Remember when we first met?
We were havin' so much fun
So, now, how can we both forget
Tellin' each other, "We're the one"?
We would make love
At the drop of a hat
Remember that? Yeah
I remember you and me
Close as any two can be
Now we're strangers in the night
Awkward and uptight

Oh baby, do you wanna make it better?
Do you wanna stay together?
If you do, then let's please
Make some new memories

When you take somebody for your own
It can't survive on history alone
Meet me at the hotel, motel
Though we got a room at home
Go to a place that we don't know so well
It be nice, add a lil' spice
Try some new seduction
Show each other how
Give each other new instructions
On what makes us feel good now

Oh baby, do you wanna make it better?
Do you wanna stay together?
If you do, then let's please
Make some new memories

When he finished I came closer and gave him a quick kiss. "I definitely want to make some new memories."

Reece just smiled. "Okay, we need to catch up." He put down a guitar and sat comfortably at my bed. "How's uni? Have you already played in any musical?"
