Love Among the Pizza Boxes

I make my way out to the embarrassing pink car I got for my sixteenth birthday. A Charger. As much as I love it… It’s pink. And I’m going to be driving around with a cute boy in it.
Well. Here goes.
Maybe he won’t notice it’s neon pink. Like a Malibu Barbie car.
I unlock the car manually and get in, then listen for Riku getting into the passengers’ seat.
He slides in. He has an amused grin on his face.
“Shut up.”
“Well then.” Riku stifles laughter as he puts his seatbelt on.
“Uh huh.”
Shoot.
He saw the pink in the dark.
Poop head.
I start the car, “Where to…?”
Riku points to his right, poking at the car window. “Just down the road a bit.”
“Uh…”
Wow.
Down the road.
And he needs a ride why?
Maybe he wanted to be in a car alone with me…?
No.
Maybe he’s a pervert?! A rapist?!
No.
No no no no no.
Calm the hell down.
I push gently on the gas pedal with the word rapist going through my mind.
Riku doesn’t last a minute. He passes out against the window. He’s snoring. It isn’t obnoxious, though. Sort of like a weird humming.
Is it wrong to think that his snore is kinda cute?
Also. Is it wrong to stare at a person when they’re sleeping?
I hope not.
Drive woman, drive!
Toe on the pedal…
Wait just a second.
Where am I going?
Do I want to wake him up? He looks so peaceful.
Wait.
What?
Yes.
Wake him up. He’s a stranger in your car Shayla.
I poke his shoulder. “Pizza boy… Yoo hoo. Anybody in there?”
Riku kinda screams and jolts awake. He looks scared for a second. Then he calms down.
“Oh.” He chuckles breathlessly. “Sorry about that.”
“No problem. Tons of people have screamed at me before. No worries.” I half-smile.
Tons of people have screamed at me?
“So. Where do you live?”
Crap.
I sound like a stalker.
Oh deary doodles.
“Uh…” He looks around a little then points at an oncoming street sign. “It’s the next left.”
“Okey dokey.”
Oh God…
You are such a dweeb.
Will you ever sound cool?
I turn onto the street.
“Uhm…”
“It’s the first building on your left.”
“Cool.”
I look at the building as I pull up to it. This is hot shirtless man’s apartment…
Could it be?
Naw.
“Nice meeting you, Pizza dude.” I smile at Riku.
And then I think...
Didn't he come in a pizza delivery car...?
