Chapter 2 - Fuck!
“McKennith”
she mumbled “My last name” she added
“Carter.
Please to meet you McKennith”
Her eyes
narrowed as a plan formulated in her head.
“So you
can be naughty?” She pondered her eyes widening
“What did
you have in mind?”
“Let’s
just see about this” she smiled running across the street to
where he parked
Nick followed
Jet’s rugged directions of pointing and screaming “Turn
now” just as they were passing the turn. He pulled to a halt
at the top of the hill which looked down around the surrounding
city.
“So what
are we doing here?” Nick questioned
Jet bounded
from the car and set off down a ruggedly carved path. Nick sighed
but quickly followed her, the moon lighting their way.
She stopped
above some billboard and looked disgustingly up at it. It was a
billboard for “Coke” , the usually sexy blond pouting
away and holding the bottle of Coke like she was about to pash it
or something.
Along the
bottom of the billboard was a messy path of beer bottles. Jet
picked one up and back away from the billboard. She drew the
bottle behind her ear, poised ready to heave it at the towering
object.
“FUCK
EVERYTHING” she screamed hurling the bottle at the sign.
It smashed
against it with a crashing sound sending slithers of glass onto
the ground below. Nick looked on a sudden burst of confusion set
upon his face, as she sent the bottle careening towards the
harmless sign.
“And you
did that for what reason?” he inquired
“It’s
great to just let everything out, no restraints, no thoughts of
the consequences, run wild, and free. Go on Nick try it, curse
everything you’ve ever wanted to, just never have”
She picked up
another bottle and handed it towards him.
“But we
could get in trouble – “
“If you
don’t want to I’ll understand, that’s just you,
Nice Nick”
“Gimmie
that”
He snatched
the bottle from her hand and stepped back to where she was.
“Screw
taking out the rubbish every morning” he yelled pitching the
bottle.
It too hit the
billboard square on the nose of the pretty blond. In that one
instant Nick could feel what Jet was taking about – wild
freedom.
“See now
didn’t that feel good? But next time try saying Fuck”
she laughed
“Fuck the
drinking age” she announced throwing another discarded
bottle
“Fuck
stuff” he laughed
“Stuff?”
“I couldn’t
think of anything”
“You just
don’t have enough anger, that’s your problem” she
laughed
“What
about you?”
“What
about me?”
“Where
does all your anger come from?”
“I was
born with it” she smiled slopping down onto the dewy ground
“See all
that?” she said nodding towards the city lights
“The
city?”
“Yeah.
That’s where my anger come from”
The two sat
there looking across at the city their eyes focusing on the
bright lights for what seemed like hours on end.
He looked
across at her a smile peaking on his face.
“What are
you looking at?” she inquired not even turning to face him
“Nothing”
he mumbled
“Yeah
okay sure and the worlds held up by two monkeys standing on the
back of a giant elephant balancing on a circus ball”
“Really?”
he replied sarcastically
She looked at
him through the corner of her eye.
“Fuck you
Nick” she laughed
“You’re
not gonna throw a bottle at me are you?”
She raised one
eyebrow, hinting she was about to do something.
“Headlock”
she screamed as in one bound she jumped behind him and flung her
arm around his shoulder and across his neck in a headlock
His hands
reached behind as he held tightly onto her. He stood up lifting
her into the air also.
“Now I’ve
got you” he snickered running down the hill
“No, put
me down” she laughed “Nick watch out for the
–“
Her warning
came to late as he tripped on the log he’d not seen and went
flying into the muddy and shallow creek.
Jet pulled
herself upright, wiping the muddy water from her face and
removing the old chip packet from her hair. Nick sat in shock in
the dirty thick water, his blond hair littered with spot of the
dirty water.
“Smooth
move Carter” she announced trying to wipe some of the filth
off her
“Why didn’t
you tell me this was here?”
“I was
trying to you know” she replied kicking her foot in the
water splashing more of the water onto him.
He looked up
at her with a half smile. A huge smirk plastered on her own face.
“Now it’s
war” he laughed bounding to his feet
“Got to
catch me first” she said clambering up the hill
He scooped up
a hand full of the filth and splattered it right on her back. She
screamed out letting go of her grip and toppling backwards onto
Nick, sending him back into the creek. The two burst out laughing
as they looked at each other, covered in the muck lying in the
creek surrounded by discarded rubbish.
They pulled
themselves out of the water and hiked back up to the car. Nick
opened the backdoor and pulled out a small beach towel.
“Just for
situations like these” he smiled handing it to her.
She quickly
wiped off the mud from her face and arms and a little off her
top.
“You’re
paying my dry cleaning bill mister” she laughed handing the
towel back to him.
He too wiped
himself off and then hopped in the car.
“What
about your immaculate upholstery” she laughed
“Ah it’s
leather, I’ll just take it to a cleaner tomorrow” he
shrugged
Jet hopped in.
“You got
a little mud there” Nick said leaning over and touching her
cheek
He rubbed it
gently with his finger removing the tiny droplet.
“Was that
just an excuse to touch me?” she smiled
“No, you
just had something there” he stuttered
“Sure”
she said leaning over to his seat
She pursed her
lips into a seductive pout, then drew ever so close to him, her
nose almost touching his.
“Liar”
she whispered
He could feel
her breath warm against his skin, he leaned forward to try and
make a connection, but she jolted back a little teasing him to
the extreme.
“What is
it that you want Carter?” she winked
“I think
you know”
“I think
I know too”
She leant even
closer, her lips just barely brushing across his cheek.
“A shower”
she whispered into his ear
She sat back
down on her seat brimming form ear to ear.
“Now that
was mean” he pouted
“Oh that
wasn’t what you wanted?”
His eyes
perked up as he smirked at her smart response.
“Oh right
I get it you wanted this”
She crawled
back over to his side of the car and planted her lips softly on
his. It was a smooth soft kiss, almost like a schoolyard kiss,
filled with innocence and beauty. She pulled slowly away,
disconnecting her lips from his. She opened her eyes and smiled
at him.
“Was that
it?”
“Oh yeah”
he replied starting the engine
~ 10 MINUTES
LATER ~
“So I’ll
see you tomorrow?” Nick questioned pulling to a halt outside
her house
“Sure
okay sounds fun” she answered hopping out of the car “No
wait Shit, I forgot I’ve got practice tomorrow” she
added turning around
“Where?”
“No you
cant come and watch, look what are you doing tomorrow night?”
Nick shrugged.
“You’re
coming to a party, here, okay?”
“Sounds
like fun”
“Alrighty
then, Night Nick, I’ll see you later” she waved running
backwards
~ 10 MINUTES
LATER ~
Nick rammed
his keys into the front door of the luxurious two story house.
There were no lights on allowing Nick to breath a sigh of relief.
He was pretty sure if his Mom would hit the roof due to the time
he bowled in, after all he was meant to clear everything with
security and so on. The door finally clicked open, and Nick
stumbled into the dark room. He quietly shut the door behind him
flicked the locks and tiptoed over to the spiraling staircase.
“And
where have you been?’ a familiar voice questioned appearing
from around the kitchen corner
“Oh Hi
Mom, I went out. Good night” he announced making a break for
the stairs
“Nickolas,
I'm well aware that you are at the age of wanting to stay out
late, but you also must understand that we are trying to keep you
safe”
“Yeah Mom
I know”
He began his
trip up the stairs.
“Nick
come here please. Don’t you understand it is 1:30 in the
morning and you just stroll in here, you never rung, you never
told anyone where you were going, was that responsible?”
“Look Mom
what does it matter, I'm fine now, so can I just go?”
She sighed, it
was no use arguing. She flung her hand in the direction of his
room, and he bolted off.
