This story is inspired off a conversation I had with someone on Facebook :D

------------------------------------------------------

RrrrrrRrrrrrRRRRrrrrr.

The loud purr of the engine disturbed the silence of the night. She peered out the window excitedly, her eyes straining to make out any visible shapes. She smiled to herself as she saw that he had held up their promise.

The night air was cool and refreshing, much relief after the sweltering hours of the day. The stars twinkled overhead, bright enough to supply light to guide their way but still not bright enough to expose anyone should they be quiet.

She pulled on a light sweater and tiptoed down the stairs, stopping every now and then to check for any sounds of movement from her parent's bedroom. Standing on the porch, she waited for her eyes to adjust to the darkness. Soft laughter up ahead guided her to the one she had anxiously waited all afternoon to meet.

She ran over to him, still alert that any sound she made in the vicinity could possibly awaken her sleeping parents.

There he was. A Suzuki GSR 600.

She sighed happily as she ran her fingers over the shiny silver paint job. An impatient 'ahem' somewhere to her right informed her of the other important person she had neglected. She gave him a quick kiss and returned to carefully examining the machine.

"Ready to go?" His voice was like melted chocolate, warming her from inside out. He tossed her the spare helmet and she clambered on.

He muttered a quiet 'let's go' and the bike roared to life.

Exhilaration.

Adrenaline.

She circled her arms around his waist and rested her head on his back, enjoying the wind as it blew in her hair.
