You're So Pretty On the Outside

“So can I know where you’re dragging me off to?” Jennifer asked, glancing at me.Shit.

“Umm... I’m not actually sure... anywhere you feel like heading?” I answered.

“Well,” she smiled. “If this is my choice, then I hope you don’t mind sports.”

I looked at her. “Meaning?”

“Skateboarding,” she replied. “I haven’t gone in fucking weeks thanks to Venita.”

I stared at her. “You skateboard?!”

“Yes, I do,” she replied, looking at me. “Wow, why so shocked?”

I stared at her, tongue tied. How could she...? Since when? She... I... Wow! Calm down, Lee, think straight! “You seriously skateboard?”

“You’ve already asked me this and I’ve already answered. Yes, Lee Malia, I skateboard,”
she laughed.

“Holy,” I breathed, looking her up and down.

“What’s so shocking about me skateboarding?” she laughed.

“I just... you don’t seem the type,” I explained. She laughed.

“Don’t judge me, Malia,” she smirked. “Now let’s go! I have to go get my board today anyway.
Do you skateboard too?”

I shook my head. “I’m more of a... runner.”

She smiled. “Race you to the repair shop?”

“But I don’t know where it is!” I exclaimed. She laughed.

“Exactly,” she replied before running ahead.

“Hey!” I called before chasing after her.

I studied the path she took and followed it. I was forced to stop as cars drove past, trying to breathe properly as my eyes followed the sprinting teen. The light finally changed and I managed to slip through the crowded sidewalk safely and catch up to Jennifer.

I found her standing in front of a store. I rolled my eyes at the innocent smile she had in place. I walked up to her and she grabbed my hand, yanking me through the doors of the store. I felt my cheeks darken a bit at the act.

"That was a really cheap move by the way," I whined. She smirked.

"You love me anyway," she grinned.

We walked to a counter at the back of the store where she spoke to the man behind it. He
nodded after she gave the description, turning to get the right board. When he turned back around and held it out, his eyes wandered down her body with interest and hints of lust. I felt the anger seep into me as I slipped my arm around her waist, my way of saying ‘back off.’

Jennifer looked up at me as she grabbed the board, frowning. I pulled her away from the counter, sending the guy a glare before heading out of the store. Jennifer frowned, glancing back at the store then me.

“Umm... did I miss something?” she frowned. I shook my head quickly before pulling her
away from the store.

“No,” I replied firmly.

“Then what the hell just happened back there? Why did you glare at him?” she frowned. I looked at her. Did she not realize that guy was fucking undressing her with his eyes?

“It’s nothing,” I replied.

“Bullshit,” she refused.

“No, really,” I argued. “Where do you want to go?”

“Well, can we go to the skate park?” she asked hopefully. I grinned, liking the idea.

“Sure, I wouldn’t mind watching,” I agreed. She laughed.

“That’s creepy,” she commented.

“How so?”

“The grin on your face while you said that was creepy,” she answered.

“Oh, sorry,” I blushed.

“Aw... are you blushing?” she asked, smiling. I blushed harder.

“No!” I grumbled, trying to cover my face with my hair, failing miserably.

“Aw, you’re so adorable!” she squealed. I blushed darker. I probably looked like a tomato.

“By the way,” she said. I glanced at her. “A lot of the guys and girls that skateboard there are
into death metal and stuff so expect attention.”

I groaned. “Are you serious?”

“Yep,” she answered. “Now come on! I wanna goooooooo!”

She jumped on her skateboard and started riding down the sidewalk. I followed after her in a slow jog, keeping pace with her. A few minutes later a park came into view with children running around and parents watching their children, kids in their early teens playing sports or doing some other form of outdoor activity.

Jen jumped off her board and I slowed to a walk as we made our way to the skate park. There were quite a few people already. Some of the guys watched her as she moved into the park. A girl walked up, grinning and wrapped her arms around her.

“Where the hell have you been?” she asked.

“Venita busted my board,” Jennifer answered. “It took the guy forever to fix it.”

“Helmet?” her friend asked her, raising her brow. Jennifer gasped.

“Ah shit!” she exclaimed, hitting her forehead.

“You forgot it? Again?” the girl frowned. Jennifer looked down at the ground and shuffled her
feet.

“Not really,” she mumbled. “I just wasn’t expecting to come here. I thought I’d end up
somewhere else but he gave me the option of dragging him here.”

“Who?” her friend frowned.

“Holy shit! Lee Malia?” a girl’s voice squealed. I flinched.Crap!

The girl who had been talking to Jennifer looked to our left and frowned before looking up at me. Her mouth formed an ‘O’ before she stepped in front of me and blocked the millions of girls who were now sprinting to me. I chuckled.

“You can move,” I told her. She looked over her shoulder.

“Sure you can handle them?” she grinned.

“Yes,” I replied. She smirked.

“Okay, then. I’m Dalia by the way,” she introduced, holding her hand out. I shook it.

“I’m guessing you’ve already figured out who I am but I’ll say it again to be polite,” I smiled.
She chuckled. “I’m Lee Malia.”

“Bring Me the Horizon,” she smiled. “I must say your band is pretty fucking awesome. That concert two weeks ago? Don’t even get me started. You guys a great!”

I grinned, thanking her just as the swarm of girls got to me, all shrieking and asking for an
autograph or picture. I searched for Jennifer over the sea of girls, spotting her at the top of
the one of the ramps, rolling her eyes at the girls on the ground.

I finished dealing with them, giving autographs and all to them. After that the majority left although a few stuck around trying to get some action from me. I glanced over at Jennifer every once in a while to see her performing a few tricks with Dalia.

*Jennifer*

I couldn’t believe how all the girls had reacted. I glared at the two sluts flirting with him. I waited my turn, my anger flaring as one of the girls slipped her hand down to his belt. My turn came and I performed one last Tuck Knee before jumping down from the ramp and walking over to the three.

Lee looked up, seeming slightly relieved. I pushed my way past the slut and leaned forward, knowing the only way to get them to fuck off was to show them what they didn’t want to see. I pressed my lips to his gently, pulling away and taking his hand. He looked up at me, shocked, to which I smirked.

“Come on,” I said, glaring at the bitches who were glaring at me.

“Okay,” Lee agreed.

It was already getting darker out so we decided to grab a bite to eat at the diner I worked at
and head home. He walked me up to my apartment and I kissed his cheek, smiling at him.
He blushed and smiled back shyly before saying goodbye and going back down to his car and heading home.
