evening my mom caught me watching Harley while she did some kind of Zumba workout. Harley had turned into the most beautiful woman I had ever laid eyes on. Watching her dance, her face flushed and sweaty, the way she moved her hips in perfect rhythm with the music. I couldn’t take my eyes off of her.
“She probably knows you’re staring.” My mom jabbed a finger into my ribcage.
“Uhh…” I rubbed the back of my neck, I was busted. We stood there and watched the class, well, I watched Harley until the song was over. “So maybe you should ask her to the Prom this year?”
I snorted, “She will probably laugh in my face. We don’t exactly get along, mom.”
“Oh please Ryder, she won’t say no.”
“You don’t understand we really don’t get along.” I shook my head.
“Do you suppose that maybe, just maybe, it’s because she thinks you’re a player with all the other girls?” mom cocked one eyebrow at me.
I could feel myself blush, “I might have dated them but I only had sex with one.” I shrugged a shoulder.
Mom shook her head, “She doesn’t know that, thank you for not making me a Grandma with that one time.”
“We had sex more than once, I just said I haven’t had sex with…” with the look mom was giving me I quickly shut up. “Anyways…” I wanted to change the subject.
“Anyways—ask her, or, I will for you.”
I laughed, “You stand a better chance of getting her to say yes than what I do, trust me. Twenty bucks says she will say No, or Hell No.” I held my hand out so mom could shake it.
“It’s a deal.” Her smile was pure evil.
Had I not agreed to take Star with us to the prom, I would have won myself twenty dollars from mom. Instead I lost twenty. It was worth it though because I knew that Star would have a blast hanging out with Harley and me.
That Monday I did exactly what I told Harley I would do. Star’s screeching “YES!” made my ears ring, but, the smile on her face was priceless. She hugged me then asked if I would take her for a ride on my “scooter” after school.
“Star it’s a Harley Davidson Fat Boy you’re giving it a complex calling it a scooter.” I said with a laugh.
She waved a hand, “All the same in my books, OH,” her eyes got big, “I have to find Harley and tell her we have a date this year. Bye Ryder!” Her bright red hair almost whipped me in the face when she spun around.
After school she was waiting on the steps for me, Harley double checked Stars helmet and threated me before she finally let us leave. The fact that she didn’t trust me pissed me off. Star was so excited I had to pull over a half a block away. “Okay Star you can’t be bouncin’ around back there. You need to calm down so I don’t wreck…okay?”
“Okay—sorry.” She screamed. “Do you have to go around corners? They scare me!” she was still screaming her words in my ear.
“Star, stop screaming I can hear you.” I laughed. “Just relax and follow my body movements. Okay?”
Star giggled, “K Ryder.”
I pulled away from the curb and drove through town, Star would wave at every car that drove past. “Star you’ve really gotta hang on sweetheart.” I said over my shoulder.
“Eeep…Okay—sorry!” she said without screaming it in my ear. We rode for about fifteen minutes until Star tapped my shoulder, “I want to see the town from there.” She pointed over my shoulder to the top of the hill. Luckily there was a side rode so I pulled my motorcycle onto it and helped her off of the bike. “It’s so pretty up here Ryder!”
“Yeah it is.” I leaned against my bike.
“You’re in love with Harley aren’t you?” was the next thing she said.
I shook my head, “Random question, Star?”
She smiled, “I think you do love her, it’s okay Ryder your secret is safe with me.”
I laughed, “I’ll just say this. We don’t feel the same about each other.” I
