THE CHEERLEADER WALKED OVER TO THE BIN, her bottom lip between her teeth in a pensive hesitation. she was pretty sure they shouldnt be taking merchandise from his work, wasnt that stealing? yet there was something addictive about the excitement that rolled off the boy, the way his eyes lit up and bounce in his step. she pushed through her anxiety, sticking her hands into all the cassettes thrown inside. she didnt know what she was looking for, what he wanted to listen to or what kind of music these trip asked for. instead she went by the pretty paper inserts, picking out a couple of that looked cool.
“ okay, dont be mad if i pick the wrong ones,” chrissy mumbled more to herself.
it was probably a better idea for him to choose but by the time she lifted her head, three cassettes in her hands, the jingling of his keys echoed in the empty store. she plucked the familiar face of bon jovi out of the bin, adding it to the small stack in her arms with a plastic ‘clack’. it felt really weird, just walking out of the open door he held for her. it felt like they were doing something bad, an unfamiliar adrenaline making her cheeks flush yet unable to keep the smile off her face. she’d never stolen something before. well, not stealing. borrowing.
“ you sure no one will know? ” she asked him, walking backwards with the cassettes in her arms. she was sure they werent going to listen to all of them but she wasnt even sure what she picked was any good. she glanced back at the shop as she followed him to the car. “ what if your boss comes back and notices youre gone? i dont want you to get in trouble, eddie. ”
if anyone saw them, they were going to be even bigger trouble.
it couldn’t be helped when a smirk began to spread along his rough features , watching her as she mumbled to herself whilst picking through the bin. it was evident that as simple as a suggestion like the one he’d made was enough to already throw her off balance maybe even dared to take her out of her comfort zone just a little bit. but to him that’s what made it all the more fun. making him already wonder about any other opportunity he would have to get the same reaction out of her before their time of “ just a little longer. ” ran out for the evening.
getting out of the store now , eddie would take a quick moment to flip the sign to CLOSED! before locking up. ❛ listen you don’t have to worry , okay ? ❜ the ghost of his smile would remain as he looked to her now , following her as she walked backwards to his van one that he so lovingly named “ the orgasmatron ” after the motörhead song ( but he was positive that information was the absolute last thing chrissy needed to know right now. . . or ever ). ❛ the old bastard worships me if for the only reason being that i give him an excuse to not have to be there as much. so trust me. . . they’ll be gone & back before he even notices. ❜ a quick wink was given to her before he’d haul the door open for her to climb in, the lovely shit box screeching in protest.
❛ if you’re still worried about it though , there’s still time for you to make a break for it. ❜ dark hues would sneak a look to her with a raised brow after he’d hopped in from his own side settling into the broken-in seat with a satisfied sigh. . . he loved this damn thing. ❛ otherwise ❜ ringed fingers would reach toward her stack of music she’d picked before plucking it from her hold , not even looking at what it was before popping it in. ❛ i say first we get slushies before absolutely anything else so i’m gonna need to know cherry or blue razz before i head in t’get them. ❜ he was also already beginning to drive to the gas station. . . so if she was going to change her mind she was gonna have to jump out.
