Chapter8: Best Friends?

Lumina's POV

I wake up with the pressure over my side. I slowly open my eyes and look where I am.

How  did I end up in my secret space?

Looking over my shoulder, I see a mop of curly dark chocolate hair. The person pulls me closer to cuddle,at this angle I can get a glimpse of the face.

Rom? What the fuck?

I try to wiggle my way out of his grip but he just stirs a little and tightens his grip. Any girl would love to be in this situation but me. Don't get me wrong it's just touchy feely things aren't me. I kinda have a phobia of touch sometimes.

Oh god , what did I do? Why can't I remember?

You were the one who told the bartender you wanted to forget.

I didn't mean literally!

Rom moves his head onto my shoulder , his curls tickling my neck. I huff out a breath and try yet again to wiggle my way out.

"I wouldn't keep doing that if I were you" his morning voice startles me making me jump and end up on the floor with a loud 'thud'.

"Fucking hell Romie!" I groan while rubbing my poor butt. The dumb asshole just bursts out in a fit of laughter. I roll my eyes and start dusting imaginary dust off my pants.

I stuck in a breath," What ha-happend last night?" I stutter out and curse under my breath. He sobers up from his laughter and clears his throat." You don't remember?" I shake my head while an emotion fleets through his eyes.

"No, every time I try to remember what happened after I found out your name its like a fuzzy blank."

"Uhm oh... Hey, why don't you have a headache or have your head stuck in a toilet right now?" he asks trying to change the subject. I shrug the question off and pull at the sleeve of my crop top.

He sighs, rolls over on the bed and looks at me. "Uhm, you became my new best friend and promised to help me get this girl I have a crush on ?" he gushes out but it ends up sounding more like a question .

"I did that ?" I ask in shock a scratch my wrist deep in thought." Yeah, we came here and watched Netflix after. Why do you sound so shocked?" he  asks biting his lip.

"I don't know , normally I go a bit crazy when I'm drunk" I mumble out .

The same look emotion from earlier passes through his eyes again but before I can ask him about it my phone rings.

"Hello, Lum?" Erinn's voice calls out to me as soon as I answer my phone." Yeah, I'm here" I say slowly." What the hell Sunset! You're not home and your uncle is picking us up in less than 40 minutes!" she yells through the phone.

Shit! I'm late for our outing !

I end the call grab my shoes and make my way out the door." Close up and I'll call you later!" I yell over my shoulder to Rom running around my house to the front door.

"You girls look nice and all dolled up. Look at you Phoenix you're even wearing a dress" Uncle beams at me from the drivers seat." Not my idea" I grumble.

Due to my lateness and nearly forgetting about Uncle taking us to a Fair , for inspiration for our Carnival Show Day.

Erinn forced me into a dress and high hells, I mean heels. I'm wearing a white  long sleeve polar neck, a thin strap black and white checkered dress that ends just above my knee and has a slit in it. Lastly lets not forget the black swayed boot heels that are currently killing my feet.

Erinn was a bit sad that I wasn't doing girly colours or showing a lot of skin but non the less I was in a dress so she was over the moon about that.

I slip my shades on and look out the car window the weather was nice seeing as fall was near.

"Here, try this", Erinn says and hands me a tube of lipstick.

I open it and look at the colour, a blood red winks back at me and I smile a little while I paint the colour onto my lips. I pucker my lips and pass the lipstick back to her.

Remember to buy one of those...

"You look deadly girl!" She squeals me out of my thoughts, Uncle laughs under his breath as he parks the car and we file out.

Erinn is like a bunny on crack once we get inside," Ooh I wanna go on all the rides!" she yells jumping up and down. I roll my eyes behind my shades ," First lunch then,rides" Uncle says leading the way.

Its official ,I'm dumb.

You realized this now only.

Oh shut up you!

You basically telling yourself that.

I roll my eyes at my thoughts. I've been walking around for ten minutes now but still I couldn't find them. I blame my tummy for getting distracted by watermelon flavored cotton candy.

My steps come to a stop when I look at the beautiful contraption in front of me.

Holy shit I finally found that motorcycle thing Homer Simpson did in the movie.

It's a round cage with a motorcycle inside it . I look around and see that I can't see shit because of my height.

Dang tall people!

I push my way to the front of the crowd just in time to hear the ,"...one loop that's all and you get the bike."

I scoff at the words and the guy speaking snaps his attention to me. He stand to the left on the cage and walks over to me.

My eyes travel over his frame, hair so blonde it almost looks white, a leather jacket over a low V neck shirt that sits loose on him and flamed tight leather pants with black studded boots.

"Well , well, well. Lady and gentleman, looks like we have someone who thinks that her pretty blue preppy ass can do it" his smug deep silk voice booms over the crowd.

I straighten up my spine and step forward. The crowed erupts into hush voices behind me, yet I lock my attention on the bike and my breath gets nearly knocked out of me. It stands there in its black matt beauty just winking at me.

I need that bike!

Then make it ours!

Finally something we agree on.

Out the corner of my eyes I see the guy move forward and smirks at me. Can I have your number instead?" a girl says from the crowd , his smirk gets bigger as he steps closer to me.

God damn! What is he the King of fucking smirking!?

"You can have more than that," he says looking straight at me. I scoff again and turn to leave." Where you going pretty blue?" his words making me freeze. I turn around slowly to face him and dramatically take off my shades.

"Some other place without a dickhead, " I say loud enough for him to hear me from the stage.

The stun look on his face only last for a second before that smirk is back on. He motions for me to come onto the stage and I do. The crowd gasps behind me I smirk at him and come to a stop right in front of time looking him up and down as to size him up.

I spot black ink peeking at me from his right peck before his words snap me out of my trance.

"Last chance for you to move along this isn't for a pretty girl like you " hr says daring me more. I hear snickers behind me. I step even closer to him getting into his space, he towers over my small form but I stand my ground.

Ain't no scared bitch!

"Wanna bet " I spit out .

"Sure, if you make a loop you get the bike and I have to do anything for you" he says with cockiness.

"But..." I say knowing there's a catch." I get to take you out on a date" he replies smugly. I turn around and make my way to the cage and step up to the bike.

"Don't break a heel now" he says with a smirk as he closes the cage door.

I throw my leg over the bike and kick the stand up, flipping him the bird. He chuckles and walks a safe distance away.

I start the bike and it roars to life shaking the ground under me. I feel a fire light up inside me and grin before I take off inside the cage.

I make eight loops feeling the adrenaline rush through me, when I come to a stop. I look out to the crowd and see their shock faces. I lool over the the guy and he looks at me in shock and awe?

What the fuck?

I make mph way out of the cage and stand in front of him." I'll take my bike now," I say with a crazy smirk on my face. He nods and hurries off to get it. I look over and smile at the back of his retreating figure.

***

After the cage thing I found Erinn and Uncle and told them what happened on our way back to the car." You what!?" she shouts in my face shaking my shoulders. I chuckle at her and look over her shoulder and spot the bike next to the car. I run around her over to see the keys attached with a sticky note too.

Till we meet again Starburst. IOU don't forget that. Fate will bring us near once more - L

I laugh under breath at his dramatics and look over at Erinn and my Uncle with a smirk. "Race you home."
