The Forever of Ella and Micha - By Jessica Sorensen Page 0,9
wall. “Looks like you won’t be going out with the band tonight.”
“I think we’ll come out with you.” I put my guitar into the case and clip the locks. “But I’m going back to the hotel room first and you guys might want to steer clear of it for a while.”
She rolls her eyes and Dylan, our drummer, lifts up his hand to give me a high-five. Dylan likes to call himself “The Ladies Man” and spends a lot of time bragging about his hookups while we’re on the road. It’s annoying as shit and I dismiss his high-five.
“Take my guitar with you and I’ll text you later.” I hand Naomi the case and walk backward for the door. “Oh yeah, and would you mind if Ella’s friend hung out with you guys for a while?”
She shrugs as she puts on some red lipstick. “I guess… but is it that blonde one? Because she doesn’t really look like she’ll be too happy hanging with us lowlifes.”
I open the door. “She just looks stuck-up, but she’s cool.”
When I walk back out into the club, Ella and Lila are at the bar. Ella’s drinking a beer, with her endless legs crossed, and Lila’s sipping on some girlie fruit drink. They’re talking about something and Ella’s got a huge smile on her face.
Interrupting the conversation, I squeeze between them and press my lips to hers, giving her a deep kiss. When I draw back, her eyes are big and glassy and I love that I’m the one who put the look on her face.
“Oh great, now the clothes are coming off.” Lila crosses her legs and laughs, exchanging a look with Ella.
“What’s up?” Dragging a finger across her collarbone, I step up behind Ella and circle my arms around her waist.
“It’s nothing.” Ella rests her head against my chest. “She’s just making an inside joke.”
“Speaking of inside.” I take her hand and pull her to her feet. “We need to go.”
She hauls me back toward the bar as I try to pull her through the crowd toward the exit. “What about Lila? We can’t just leave her here.”
Lila finishes her drink and slides the empty glass onto the counter. “I can hang out in the car or something.”
I shake my head. “That’s not a good idea. Not in this kind of neighborhood. But Naomi said you can hang out with her and the band.”
Lila glances at Ella unsurely and when Ella nods, she sighs. “Alright, I’ll hang out with her… I guess. But where are they going?”
“Just to dinner, I think,” I tell her as Naomi exits from backstage and makes her way across the room toward us.
“Ready to go?” Naomi asks Lila in a formal tone and gives Ella a tight smile. “Hi, Ella, how are you?”
“Great,” Ella replies nonchalantly and her jaw spasms.
There’s an awkward silence that only girls can create.
“Okay then, I guess we should get going.” Naomi raises her eyebrows and motions for Lila to come with her as she leaves for the back.
“Please hurry,” Lila says pressingly and trudges after Naomi toward the back area.
I tug Ella eagerly toward the front door, shoving people out of my way. When we step outside, I grab her arm, whirl her around, and pick her up.
“Where’s your car?” I ask as she hitches her legs around my waist and my dick instantly gets hard.
She loops her arms around the back of my neck and her green eyes sparkle underneath the streetlights. “It’s parked out back.”
I stumble blindly down the dark alley as I kiss her fiercely and tangle my fingers in her long, auburn hair that smells sweetly of vanilla. I trip over the curb at the end, but regain my balance without breaking the kiss. My hand cups her ass and the other one explores the soft skin of her thigh.
“Did you wear this skirt just for me, so I’d have easy access?” I murmur against her lips as my fingers inch up her leg.
Laughing against my mouth, she pinches my ass. “You at least have to get us in the car before you start doing stuff to me.”
“Yeah right.” I caress her tongue with mine, savoring her, before moving away. “I’m planning on throwing you down on the hood right here, right now.”
She restrains a smile. “No way. There are people everywhere.”
My eyes skim the dark parking lot and a few perverts sitting on a dropped tailgate of a truck are watching us. “Fine, point taken… Where’s Lila’s car?”
