final strike.
The weekend always seems so far away until Friday zooms by and suddenly it’s 6pm and it’s time to close up the shop. Most of the guys have gone home already but Aiden’s the last one there, Jordan’s on his way out and Luci’s been hanging around sitting and looking pretty on one of the stools in the garage. He kinds of likes when she comes when he’s closing up, sometimes they linger or they kiss a lot and it feels kind of wrong but a lot right at the same time.
Jordan sticks his head through the door and waves to the two of them as he’s on his way out, grabbing his longboard from the wall. He munches on a cookie Luci brought and jogs down the slope of the lots, drifting away on his board into the distance.
Aiden heaves some tools into the large tool chest beside Luci, smiling over at her. “Ten minutes tops then we can go, what do you want for dinner?” He closes the drawer and wanders to stand in front of Luci, leaning down to kiss her lightly. “Maybe Thai?”
