CIGARETTES [LWT]

try

[6:20 PM]

[the two sit together on Louis' porch. today, Lola is wearing a yellow sundress that shows off her legs, while Louis wears his usual get up- an adidas T-shirt, black jeans, and a beanie. he smokes a cigarette and blows rings just to entertain Lola.]

"how do you do that?"

"skill,"

"teach me,"

"no can do love,"

"please? just let me try it once,"

"no."

"but louis,"

"absolutely not lola. end of discussion."

"humph,"

"words lola."

"no,"

"what?"

"i said n-"

"I heard you, I just didn't think you had guts to say it again."

"you're an asshole."

"I've heard it before babygirl,"

"you think you're so cool and grown up. well you aren't the only one. I'm 18, an adult just as you are. now let me try one of your goddamn cigarettes."

"hm. alright miss big balls. go ahead. ruin your lungs. blacken them. taste the bitter taste of grungy adulthood."

[he hands her the cigarette easily. she's hesitant at taking it at first but finally does. she places the stick between her lips and inhales, but begins on a coughing fit. Louis laughs, satisfied at teaching her a lesson. she throws the cigarette in the yard, crossing her arms, pouting.]

"fun?"

"leave me alone,"

"hey, this is my porch,"

"you laughed at me."

"i did."

"that was mean."

"no it wasnt. i warned you. but you insisted and got all pissy at me. so i let you try. there's nothing you're missing."

"hm."

"look, don't be upset. i was trying to protect you love."

"sure."

"you promised that you'd be my pure one,"

"i know, I'm sorry."

"it's okay babygirl. there's a first for everything."

++++
