Forgive Me- Part 1
It's not a Lie
When the door opened, I looked into deep brown eyes. they were squinting as he smiled, dimples forming in his cheeks and I couldn’t help but smile back. He has dark curly hair, half hidden in his dripping beanie.
“Thank you so much! I’m getting saturated out there!” he laughed
“American?”
“That obvious?”
“Well you definitely don’t have an Australian accent. Now quick get in before the car floods.”
“Oh! Sorry” he scrambled into the car and pushed his damp hair out of his face. Before he could say anything else I said “okay I have to warn you, there are rules for being in my car.” He nodded.
“one, if you have any weapons or anything that can be used as one you need to chuck it in the boot, cause I really don’t feel like dying today.” he chuckled, it was a nice sound “two, no dissing my music, I completely understand if you don’t like it, you can go ahead and change the song or put on your own music, but I will not let you stay in my car if you start talking shit. Three; no raping or murdering me and four I can only take you as far as Canberra, if you are intending on going further you’ll have to find another lift.”
“Ha-ha, okay well, I don’t have any weapons so I am good there, I can deal with music, and I promise that I won’t rape or murder you. And actually I am headed to Canberra, so is that okay?”
“Yes, very good,”
I press play on my music as I begin to drive again and Hell Above by Pierce the Veil came on, automatically bringing a smile to my face, and I wasn’t the only one. When I looked over I saw a small smirk playing on his lips.
“You like Pierce the Veil?” He asked me.
“Yea, I love them; they’re probably one of my favourite bands.”
“Do you know much about the band members?”
“Umm, just their names, I don’t really see the point in going any further than that. It’s not like I will ever meet any of them or ever need any of that information really.”
“So you’re just in it for the music?”
“Yea, that’s what it’s all about isn’t it?”
“Yea, I totally agree.” He smiled at me “You want to know something funny?”
“Umm sure, I guess…”
“My name is Jaime.”
“Like the guy from Pierce the Veil?”
“Yea,” he was grinning now
“Wow, that’s awesome, what a coincidence.”
“Yea, I know right, you don’t mind if we don’t listen to them though do you? I mean it’s just that I listen to them so often that I think I need a break for a while”
“Oh okay, yea sure, you can go through my music if you want, I don’t have a passcode on my phone”
He unlocks my phone and starts scrolling through the music and plays some of my acoustic music.
“I never asked your name…” he said after a few minutes of silence.
“I’m Amelia.”
“It’s nice to meet you Amelia,” he smiled at me again, his dimples deepening. I’m not going to lie. He is really cute.
“Thank you so much! I’m getting saturated out there!” he laughed
