Black Lace

“Want a ride?” Jed asks. Donnie had been talking earlier about how he’d taken the bus here because he’d loaned Kelly his car while hers was in the shop.


“Are you sure? It’s kind of out your way,” Donnie asks.


“No problem. I’m in no rush to get home.” Jed shrugs. He has no plans today other than this rehearsal, so he’s free for the rest of the day, and Jed always finds free time boring. He’s not designed to do nothing or be alone for too long.


“That’d be great, then. I hate the bus.” Donnie smiles. And it’s funny. He has this kind of hardcore look, lots of black, piercings, tattoos, dyed hair, but he has this boyish smile that’s kind of adorable.


“Let’s get going then.” Jed starts walking, but slows down to let Donnie, with his shorter legs, catch up.
