Just Friends.

 
  Off-pink bleached hair, daring piercings and provocative tattoos.

  Eddy flashed his childish grin, at me when the band name was announced.

  And then there he goes, spilling beers, laughing and cheering with his mates –similar, defiant fashioned, yet oddly friendly boys. Their tattooed frenzy limbs clinging around shoulders, whilst in their cheering laughter, they exchanged jolly swearing congratulations.

  “Congratulation.” I blurted in excitement, relieved that I didn`t stumble a stutter. Ten panicked fingers dug dipper into the loose pockets of my worn jeans and my nervous eyes shied away when Eddy leaned towards me.
    His naturally arched brows frowned a bit before disturbing me with those mesmeric eyes.

  “Yeah, so do I get a kiss from you, Haley?” Soft warming awareness crept where his fingers stroked –along the rail of my cheekbone, fishing longer red fringes of my hair sideways.
    My eyes were nowhere but staring at his alcohol-flushed lips, rapt and my heartbeats, messy. This discreet consciousness might as well be an embarrassing careless display; instead, I got too curios of his tongue piercing which luckily implied crude fascination than girlish distress.

  “Yo, you`re blushing…” He teased again poking my blushed-swell cheek.

  “NO.” I protested bashfully. The wicked red contacts gleamed devilishly, in harmony with his dark honey eyes. Then the narrow lips stretched sideways into a victory smirk, amused. He knew…

  “Edmond…?” A girly voice interrupted Eddy`s fixture upon me.

  The hellion tore his mischievous glare away turning to the entrance as I waved weakly at the adorable girl in strawberry colors.
  Ah, she made it, “Hi, Michelle!”

  I took a step back; fighting the jealous butterflies witnessing Eddy spoiling his girlfriend with intense adoration. His eyes soften with fondness as Michelle coiled her arms around his skinny waist, whining about Kiki, our cousin`s Chihuahua.

  Heaving a caring sigh, the pink haired punk managed to sneak a peek behind the fine champagne locks smiling so helplessly at me. I requited with an unintended grin realizing too late that I fell for his smile…
