A-NOPE at the Drive-In || Duncan&Kaley

[smhkaley-blog]

The hand she’d set on his knee – above his  knee – barely move at all, but she kept her eyes on the large screen. At least, this was until his voice broke the silence. Kaley turned, her eyes catching his features even in the dark. “Yeah… I thought it would be better.” She answered. There was a look in his eyes, something noticeable that she couldn’t pinpoint, a question or a suggestion, perhaps. Kaley didn’t know what it was. She didn’t want to leave and let a bad movie – which may not actually be a bad movie if they watched til the end – ruin their date, but sitting and watching it didn’t sound all that attractive anymore. Not when he looked at her like that, and certainly not when she touched him like that.

Kaley took a fleeting glance at his lips then back to his eyes, hoping he couldn’t really see it in the dark. “So… what are we gonna do?” She asked, that hand that hadn’t moved at all suddenly and slowly inching upward on his jeans but stopping before she took things too far.

[frickduncan-blog]

Kaley’s small hand traveling along his thigh would have rendered Duncan speechless if he wasn’t already struggling with words. He thought she may have glanced at his lips, but it was too dark to tell for certain. “Uh...” he muttered. His fingers had stopped dancing along her skin, hovering above her hip as he continued scrounging around for words. It wasn’t working. He was feeling stupider by the second. Fingers thoughtfully tapping against Kaley’s bare hip, Duncan finally leaned in and kissed her once; a firm, fleeting peck on her throat. It certainly didn’t help him to relax (did the exact opposite, in fact), but he pretended that it did, his shoulders drooping as he fidgeted briefly before seemingly turning his attention back to the movie.

A-NOPE at the Drive-In || Duncan&Kaley

[smhkaley-blog]

She tried to focus on the movie, she really did; but, the plot wasn’t that great and she was beginning to lose interest. Suddenly, Kaley became aware of Duncan’s hand on her hip, grazing the skin just under her top. Very aware. Still, she kept her eyes on the screen ahead of them. Kaley gently sat one hand just above his knee. She took a small glance at the cars in the row in front of them, just to see if her brother was hanging around there, but he didn’t see him. 

[frickduncan-blog]

Duncan stiffened slightly under Kaley’s touch. He wished that he could tell if she was actually paying attention to the movie, but it was too dark to see and anyway, she’d probably be freaked out by him staring at her so intently. It was also really, really hard to focus when Kaley touched him like that. The situation was becoming increasingly tense. Something had to give. “This movie fucking bites.” he declared, sighing as he turned to look at Kaley. There was a question in his eyes, something in between Wanna ditch? and Wanna put your other hand on me in the backseat of this car? Yet he didn’t ask either.

A-NOPE at the Drive-In || Duncan&Kaley

[smhkaley-blog]

Kaley was aware of Duncan’s fingers tracing some kind of pattern on the skin of her bare shoulders, but she wasn’t paying much attention to the actions as she really was trying to watch the movie. She liked his hands, and she really liked them when they were on her, but her intention was to watch this movie and it had only been about ten minutes.

A warm, soft smile spread across the girl’s lips when she felt his gentle kiss on her head. Kaley turned her head to look at him, that same smile still glued to her face, shimmering slightly with her lip gloss, then laid her head against his shoulder as she turned her attention back to the movie.

[frickduncan-blog]

Duncan tried to mirror Kaley’s grin, but all he could do was stare at the perfect curve of her lips. That was another thing that always smelled nice; her lip gloss. Even though he hated having the shimmery, gooey stuff all over him, he couldn’t deny that being close her face and that pretty scent was an enjoyable experience. He thoughtfully licked his lips.

As Kaley scooted closer, he let his arm drop down her back to accommodate. His fingers found the hem of her blouse and absently toyed with it. The movie looked like it had progressed a little, but Duncan didn’t know for sure and he surely didn’t care. Slowly, he wiggled his fingers beneath Kaley’s blouse and onto the smooth skin of one hip. Duncan’s face remained blank and positioned straight ahead, almost unblinking as he continued to explore around the edges of her shirt and skirt.

A-NOPE at the Drive-In || Duncan&Kaley

[smhkaley-blog]

Kaley had only been looking out of the window for most of the drive, quietly humming along with the oldies – at least, what she knew. She chuckled and shook her head slowly at Duncan’s rhetorical question. She answered anyway. “They’re here to watch the movie. Don’t be so grumpy, it’s gonna be a good night. And I heard this movie is good.”

After Duncan had parked the old black El Camino in a spot just far enough from Brad Todd, she relaxed more into her seat and undid her seat belt, getting comfortable. Brad Todd was perhaps the biggest jerk at Rutherford –  a jerk who should have graduated by now. Apparently, he loved high school football so much  he wanted to make it his career. Hopefully administration would kick him out soon, but the chances of that happening were slim to none, seeing as the Todd family had just donated a large sum to aid in the construction of a new weight room for the athletics department. 

The brunette looked out just in time to see her brother passing by, a couple of his friends in tow. The friends were just a cover, he was there to spy, of course. God, why can’t he just leave us alone? Kaley thought to herself. With a small sigh, she scooted a bit closer to Duncan and settled with is arm around her shoulder. “Probably.” Kaley answered, her tone quiet and slightly irritated. “Just, let’s ignore him ‘kay? Besides, what’s he gonna do, stop me from watching a movie?” She added. Through the windshield, up at the next row of cars, she could see her brother, a clear scowl on his face with his hands in his pockets until he finally turned for the other direction.

[frickduncan-blog]

Duncan answered Kaley with a scoff, crossing his feet at the ankles. Kaley had cuddled close to him and even through his leather jacket and unnecessary layers of shirts, he could feel the warmth of her small, firm body pressed against his. There was a brief commotion outside as the film title appeared on the huge screen and people hurried into their cars, but Duncan already wasn’t paying the movie any attention. Kaley’s soft, pretty smell was wrapping around his head, filling the car and rendering him incapable of focusing on anything past his very present, very hot girlfriend.

The film began. Duncan briefly caught a glimpse of what looked like an important plot point while his fingers danced gently along the smooth, bare skin of her shoulders. He inadvertently thought of the time he kissed her there and she encouraged him to do it again with a moan. 

Fuck.

Duncan briefly fidgeted in his seat. He turned his head, pressed a kiss to Kaley’s hair for no particular reason except that he could. His fingers still rubbed slowly across her skin, breath quiet and controlled as he pretending to watch the movie.

A-NOPE at the Drive-In || Duncan&Kaley

Miami’s drive-in movie venue was a popular hangout place for all ages and walks of life. It had to be; otherwise, it wouldn’t still be open long after most of the country’s drive-ins died and decayed. Yet Duncan still expressed shock (and annoyance) every time he was confronted with long rows of parked cars.

“The fuck are all these people doing here?” he huffed, reaching across the dash to turn down Led Zeppelin. (Like that would quell his irritation.) As usual, however, there were a few decent parking spots and Duncan managed to get one that where the view wasn’t obstructed by Brad Todd’s obnoxious luxury SUV. He parked and the engine sputtered before shutting off. Duncan relaxed into his seat, turned his head to look at Kaley and scowled. 

“Does he fucking follow us or something?” The he Duncan was referring to could be nobody else but Tanner, Kaley’s older brother and certified Master of Scowling At Duncan ™. “We’re not gonna do anything this time,” he wanted to crank open the window and shout to the casually passing individual, “She actually wants to watch the movie!” But he didn’t. All Duncan did was sigh and scoot closer to Kaley so that he could comfortably curl an arm around her shoulders...which looked really nice in that top, but Kaley told him to be on his best behavior.

“You’re right, you’re not me. You’re a hell of a lot luckier than I was, ‘cause I didn’t have anyone that cared about me back then.”

[frickduncan-blog]

Are you teaching a class on lame emo shit and you’re practicing on me or do you really have no idea where Mr. Coach Royal Whoever is?

[smhkaley-blog]

… so, uh, the movie sounds good.

[frickduncan-blog]

Even better than the back of my car?

[parcdisal]

“I used to think that, you know. God, I hated my parents so much. I swore up and down that I’d never have kids, I’d never work with kids. I knew in my gut that I’d make them miserable because my parents had ruined me, made me cynical towards the entire world. Guess what? I don’t think I could ever have a happier kid than Ben. Even you, with your sarcasm and shitty attitude make it worth while.”

[frickduncan-blog]

Yeah, well...we’re not all you.

[smhkaley-blog]

Like what?

[frickduncan-blog]

Each other.

[parcdisal]

“You’re an idiot, of course you will. It’s always the stupid ones that procreate, Dunkaroo.”

[frickduncan-blog]

Pass. World’s shitty enough without me fucking it up more by bringing some innocent kid into it and making ‘em fucking miserable.

[parcdisal]

“If we weren’t on school property, I’d probably smack you upside the head. I want you to know that. Excuse you! I didn’t– Stop calling him that. He’s a respectable man and it’s rude that you’re saying something like that. Please? It’s a little hard to have a love life when you have a kid, one day you’ll understand that. Bernard’s the only man that’s ever gonna be in my life. Stop being such an ass about it now.“

[frickduncan-blog]

Sorry, I stopped listening after you said I’m gonna have kids one day. Don’t fucking joke like that.

[smhkaley-blog]

See, that could be a good idea, but the knocking gives me a good second to make sure I’m all in order again before he sees me.

[frickduncan-blog]

And it gives me a good second to hate my life. Maybe we should ditch the movie and do something else.

[smhkaley-blog]

Honestly, he’ll probably be there somewhere. But, don’t worry, I won’t be paying him any mind, and you shouldn’t either, because tomorrow night, I am all yours.

[frickduncan-blog]

Well, fuck. Should I put all the windows down so he doesn’t have to knock this time? And should I leave them down when we get back to your place so he doesn’t have to knock again?

[frickduncan-blog]

‘ — – - that’s where you are very wrong, also judging me from my exterior. For starters…try somebody that watched their father off himself, or perhaps a mother that cared more about her clients then if her child ate at the end of the day. Those are just for starters…but you’re right. I don’t know what I am doing here now…before I had the intention of sharing some good news in hopes of possibly making a new friend. I suppose I was wrong. My apologies for thinking so highly of you.’

It’s not like you were gonna be making loads of friends by going around telling your sob story to everybody you meet anyway, sunshine. And it’s not like you were making a good choice trying to be friends with me, so you’re fucking welcome. Don’t chip your pedicure again on your way out.

[smhkaley-blog]

Well, that would be really nice. Are we actually going to watch more than fifteen minutes of the movie this time, or should I anticipate having to IMDB it for my brother’s sake?

[frickduncan-blog]

If your brother’s so interested in the movie, why doesn’t he just go himself so I can just be interested in you the whole time?

[frickduncan-blog]

          ‘ — – - How are you going to go about finding          who did it? It could just be someone you rubbed          the wrong way…I can see that being a huge          possibility. Also, I don’t just do musicals. I can          give life advice because I’ve literally walked through          hell and back. But hey…live how you wish. Open your          eyes soon though buddy.’

Fuck, sorry. I didn’t realize I was talking to somebody who had to live through the hell of chipping their pedicure at ballet practice. And I didn’t realize that made you think you can tell me what the fuck to do as if you were my mom who by the way, doesn’t even tell me what the fuck to do so I don’t really know what you’re going for here.

[frickduncan-blog]

          ‘ — – - That’s the way you are coming off. If you have          slashed tires it’s probably because you’ve crossed the          wrong person. If your girlfriend is that high maintenance          maybe you should re-evaluate that as well. However, I          know what it’s like to have a parent that doesn’t care.          It’s not easy…but you’ll be okay in the end.’

Whoever slashed my tires is the motherfucker who crossed the wrong person. Am I seriously getting life advice from somebody who does musicals right now?
