Let Me In

Where Are We?

We encountered a little traffic on our way out of Los Angeles, which we both expected; it was such a busy city that we always planned with extra time just in case. He told me to make myself comfortable since it was such a long drive, and so I kicked my shoes off, moved my seat a little backwards and put my feet up on the dashboard, sitting on my tailbone almost. Mike stared at me and raised his eyebrow, as if I was crazy since my travelling position looked so bizarre; it was one of those comfortable-uncomfortable positions but it worked.
The days here in Los Angeles had been very hot and sunny in the past two weeks, more than usual. The sun was really strong so I took my sunglasses out of my purse and put them on. I had just gotten these two weeks ago and so I tried to make any excuse to wear them.

“You look cute with glasses,” he commented, not looking away from the road.

“I actually wear glasses but I always think I look super dorky,”

“I’m sure you look just as beautiful,” he was being super compliment-y today and I kind of liked that.

“Thank you,” I murmured, placing my hand in the center piece knowing he’d placed his on mine, but this time instead of just laying his on mine, he laced his fingers between mine and held it tightly. I couldn’t avoid smiling and although neither of us was looking at each other, we both knew there was a huge grin in each other’s faces.

Once we got on the highway we were able to gain sometime - obviously, since Mike thought that California’s law of sixty-five miles per hour on an urban freeway was a little too slow, so he was always going a little faster than that. I truly don’t know how he had never gotten a ticket for speeding, however the first half of the trip went by really fast. Also, Mike had gotten his new car, a black Lexus RX Hybrid, a couple of months ago and so whenever he got to ride on the highway or freeways he loved to step on the pedal a little more than usual.

Mike and I had been jamming to different songs and singing to the top of our lungs on our worst pitches as he drummed with the wheel of the car. Turns out our road trip playlists were pretty similar; we both had “You Make My Dreams” and “I’m Gonna be (500 Miles)” and we both enjoyed dancing in the car whenever possible - no matter how bad we were.

“God I haven’t laughed like this in forever,” I admitted, regaining my breath and taking a sip of water.

“Damn, Hayes” he began “I like this silly and cute side of you, it blends very well with the little feisty and sassy side that intrigued me so much,”

“I think I have said this multiple times, Fuentes, I’m full of surprises. Jeez, seriously you’ve gotta start paying attention to me,” I said playing along. It was interesting how I could be so insecure when I was on my own but whenever I was with him I felt so comfortable and I was able to be all confident; it was a great feeling.

Just as we entered the state of Nevada we made a slight detour into a small city called Primm, because we needed to get some gas and we were actually quite hungry. The first place we went was the nearest gas station in which Mike parked and we both got out of the car to stretch out whilst he loaded up the tank. Here gas was a little cheaper than in Los Angeles, but also the petroleum market was pretty down in the dumps too. I stood next to Mike as he checked his phone for updates from the boys and decided to be a little shit and I began to poke his sides. He jumped, startled and I automatically regretted my decision when he charged at me and began to tickle me; he wrapped his arms around me from the back and focused on tickling my sides.

“Mercy! Mercy!” I yelled for him to stop tickling me “I’m sorry!” I added with a loud laughter. He finally stopped and turned me around in one swift movement and stared into my eyes; he was so much taller than me that he had to look down. He moved his head closer and kissed my forehead, then my nose and then finally he softly pressed his lips against mine for a couple of seconds before moving again; he was being so romantic today I was so pleasantly surprised. I giggled softly which made him smile and then pull away to finish loading up gas. I climbed back in the car and sat there waiting for him to finish up and in a couple of minutes he was back in and checking the GPS for places to eat. It was the outskirts of the city so by itself it was a pretty deserted area, and so we didn’t have many options.

“McDonald’s or Taco Bell?” he asked me

“McDonalds, Taco Bell makes my stomach turn”

“Good answer,” he laughed.

“Was this some sort of a test?”

“Of course it was,”

I chuckled at his response and we were then on our way. We drove for about three minutes and found ourselves in the McDonalds. Neither of us really wanted to get out of the car and so we went through the drive thru.

“Hi can I please get two double quarter pounder with cheese one with large fries and a large Coke and the other one with just medium fries, an oreo McFlurry and…” he said looking at me.

“I’ll have the medium combo of 10 McNuggets with a Coke too as well as some mozzarella sticks,” I said and he repeated that to the lady who then repeated the order to check if it was correct.

“That’s gonna be $25.07” she announced, asking us to drive to the next window where we then got our food and Mike paid - again - for our food. I had a feeling he was never going to let me pay for anything and that’s something that made me feel bad. He handed the lady three tens and told her to keep the rest before we drove into the parking lot to eat.

“McDonald’s is my guilty pleasure,” I admitted, taking a bite of my nugget.

“Don’t let it be guilty, just a pleasure,”

We ate listening to music and jamming it out a little as we ate and then I saw the nastiest thing I had ever seen: Mike was dipping a fry in his ice cream.

“Mike, what are you doing?” I said raising my eyebrow.

“This looks bad, I know, but it’s literally the most delicious combination in the world,” he said as he dipped a fry in his ice cream and handed it to me. I gulped as I prepared myself and then I tried it. There was a mixture of salt and sweet in my mouth and I realized how delicious it actually was.

“Oh my God, this is so good”

“I know right?!” he responded, handing me another ice cream-dipped fry which I took with my mouth right of his grip, making him smile a little. We kept on eating and suddenly I felt his energy going down. I turned towards him and he was just staring at the wheel of the car.

“Is everything okay?” I asked a little worried. His mood had changed so drastically in just a couple of minutes and I was a little confused.

“You know I like you right?” he asked “Like really like you,”

“And I really like you too, Mike,”

“But like - I’m not good at these things, and it’s just like- you know what I’m talking about?”

“Not really,” I admitted, a little confused. Like, I had an idea but I didn’t want to assume or get too excited in order to guard myself.

“I swore relationships off when I ended things with my ex, and ever since I met you I’ve began to see relationships in a whole different way and I’ve even began to see myself in one again… In one, with you,” My heart stopped. Was he really telling me this? Or was it all a part of my imagination?

“Wha-what are you saying?” I stuttered.

“I’m saying that I want us to be together, Sarah.”
