the arctic monkeys series [5sos]

04

She tugged me up to her room

Stumbling on each step up

As I tried to pull away

Out of her grasp.

"Rose, wait"

I repeated

Ignoring the growing smirk

On her pleased face.

We reached a bedroom

That was presumably hers.

Posters of bands

And signed antiques

Were posted and scattered

Across the room.

"You like Arctic Monkeys?"

I asked

Seeing a large poster

That covered most of one wall.

Alex Turner held a cigarette loosely

Between his fingers

As he glanced away from the camera.

Rose nodded.

"They're my favorite."

"Favorite song?"

"R U Mine?"

"Good choice."

We sat in silence for ages

As I wondered

Why she had brought me here

In the first place.

"Just out of curiosity

As well as protection

You have condoms, right?"

Rose surprised me by laughing

Letting out a small giggle

That sounded like music to my ears.

She gave me a cheeky smile

Arching her eyebrows.

"You really thought

That we were going to have sex?"

I felt my cheeks flush

Instantly regretting my foolish questions.

"Um, maybe?

It's just what usually happens

And I didn't know if you...

I mean..."

Her small giggle built up into laughter

And soon her forehead was wrinkled

And laughter lines framed her mouth.

"Well I'm not usually what happens, babe.

I'm anything but average

But I closely resemble

The figures you see in dreams

And nightmares."
