drive
*beep beep* goes the sound of the car alarm being disabled. he opens the door and fold himself into the car seat. start the car engine and whilst waiting for it to warm up, push the seat forward and back until it feels comfortable. raise and then lower the seat height until it feels right. adjust the rear and side view mirrors so that he sees as much of the world in retrospect as is possible. by now, the engine has started idling at a gentle purr. turn on the car stereo and put on a track that fits the mood. let off the parking brake, press down on the footbrake, push the gear stick into "drive", and start accelerating away.
...
he pulls up by the kerbside. she opens the door and jumps in. she brings along with her an air of excitement and anticipation. as he drives away, his left hand and her right hand gravitate to each other. fingers entwine, and it feels right.
...
down the winding road he drives. glancing into his mirrors occasionally to check his rear. he catches her staring at him from his peripheral vision. she likes how he seems relaxed and yet has a look of intense concentration in his eyes. her hand molds into his and she curls into the car seat, making herself as comfortable as she can get.
...
he turns away from the lot before reversing into it. the "beep" of the reverse sensor annoying the hell out of both him and her. the increasing intensity of the sound as it approaches an object having the ability to make their hearts beat faster. both can't wait to get the car out of reverse gear. finally the car is parked and the engine is turned off.
they just sit there and stare out the windscreen. fingers still entwined...
