Dannika Dark: Seven Years

Put this in the CD player , it said. I peeled the note away and handwritten on the label was:

Austin and Lexi

I turned the car key halfway and glanced up. His hands were deep in his pockets and he was staring at the ground, kicking up a few plumes of dirt. I slid the disc into the player and suddenly a haunting acoustic melody filled the car, playing the strings of my heart. The same song that was playing at the lake the night Austin fell in love with me.

“Landslide,” by Fleetwood Mac.

Our song .

I jumped out of the car and ran straight into his arms. Austin swung me around once and delivered a kiss to go down as one of the great ones in my life. His right hand curved around the nape of my neck, and the other tenderly stroked my cheek. He wiped away a stray tear on my chin and smiled with his eyes. The song filled the air like a warm breath of life.

“Never let me go again,” I whispered.

“Turn around, Ladybug, or you’ll miss it.” Austin wrapped his strong arms around me from behind and we faced the setting sun. Ripples of melon, rose, and daffodil filled the sky like glowing embers dying out.

“See that down there?” he asked, pointing his finger at a silver object.

In a clearing between the trees, I spied a familiar sight. “What is that? Wait a minute… is that my car?”

And then it exploded.

I shook from the thunderous detonation and gripped his arms. A fireball rose in the air with a billowing cloud of black smoke not far behind. My heart sped up and I stood still, watching the broken pieces of my past burn as Austin held me tight.

Forget flowers and candy. Austin blowing up my car was the most romantic thing any man had ever done for me.

I spun around on my heel. “You just blew up my car.”

Austin smiled and kissed my nose. “Feel like going for a ride ?” He reached in his back pockets and pulled out his fringed, fingerless gloves, stretching his hands in them slowly as he swaggered back to the Challenger.

As if on cue, the music blaring on the speakers switched to the Kings of Leon song Austin had sung during our first time.

Yeah, I got the tingles.

Austin stopped in front of his classic Dodge Challenger, stripped out of his T-shirt, and seductively leaned against the hood on his elbow. A sly grin crossed his expression and he winked, gently patting the hood of the car with his left hand.

Damn , that lean.
