Band on the Run.

Syd and Cheryl separate, both of them blushing a brilliant shade of crimson, and stared at us shocked, “You didn’t tell me you were coming over!” Cheryl whines.

“We didn’t even know we were coming over! My mom made us come over here!”

Cheryl looks at me in confusion “What do you mean we? Why do you keep saying we and us? Why are you…Hey! You two are talking again!” She claps her hands in that girly way girls do when they get excited.

“Yeah we are speaking again and yes there is an us because Roger was at my house.” I look up at him and smile. He made me feel so petite with his tallness.

“Roger was at your house?” Syd and Cheryl say in unison, me and Roger both nod.

“Okay bedroom now!” Cheryl exclaims, Roger snickers, I punch him in the arm, and Syd covers his pants blushing even more.

I follow her up stairs to her room, she had made me a makeshift bed in her closet for when I stayed over when my mom was drunk and her parents didn’t know I was there. I noticed it was the same way it was when I last stayed over a couple nights ago. She pulls out her stash, lights a joint then turns back to me as I sit down on the bed.

“Okay, I need details! Did you sleep with him?” She says and passes the joint to me, I take a hit and pass it back.

“Nope, no sex at all; he told me that he thinks he’s falling for me though.” I shrug as if it was nothing, of course it wasn’t nothing; I was so excited I could hardly stand it.

“Really? So like are you two together?” She gets really excited now.
I shrug “Somewhat…” She stares at me confused for a long time, I would’ve explained but I just didn’t really know how.

There’s a knock on the door and we both jump at the same time, “Come in.” Cheryl answers, Syd and Roger run in and slam the door.

“Your parents are home!” Syd exclaims.

“Oh no you weren’t supposed to be here!” Cheryl tells me and Roger, we all ponder on how to get out of this. I was the one who came up with the idea of me and Roger climbing out the window. Yep, I’m a genius.

Roger climbs out first, then me. We sit on the edge of the roof for a long time until we get up the courage to jump, Roger finally jumps and lands perfectly on his feet. I look down at him for a long time, my body just froze.

“Just jump Nicole! I’ll catch you!” He says impatiently, I didn’t know whether or not to trust him but I jumped anyway. He did catch me, we fell on the ground with a thud. I on top of him, we stared each other in the eyes for a long time before I kissed him. His lips were soft yet strong, oh geez how did I not remember this?

I sat up and so did he, we could hear Cheryl’s parents up in her room. He stands up and lifts me onto his back, away we went.

We were halfway to my house when he reached down and grabbed my hand, his long fingers intertwined with mine. I looked up at him and smiled, I felt a small blush fill my cheeks as he kissed my forehead.

"Hey Roggie?"

"Hello,"

I bite my lip before asking the question "Would you say that we're a couple?"

He smirks "Yeah I would say that, would you say that?"

I shrugged "Yeah, well, somewhat."

"So we're somewhat a couple?"

"I don't know, I think that's kind of sort of up to you." I look down at my feet then back up into his greenish blue eyes.

"Fine then Miss Have-To-Make-Everything-Official, do you want to be my girlfriend?"

"Yes I would love that!" I kiss his cheek sweetly as he lets go of my hand and pulls me close to him.
