Page 49 of More To Us

"Hey, Carl."

He smiles. "Austin. I didn't know it was you." He glances at Kira. "Don't mean to interrupt, but we're closed for the night and you know how I feel about kids making out in my parking lot."

My brother, Jake, got caught making out here with a girl here when he was 17. Carl called my dad and then we all got a lecture about it. That didn't even cross my mind tonight. I was too into Kira and what we were doing before we got interrupted.

"Sorry about that," I tell him. "We'll get out of here."

"Maybe go continue this at your house. You still live at home, right?"

"Yeah, but my dad has rules about girls."

He laughs. "That sounds like Mitch. Tell him I said hello." He steps back. "Have a good night."

He leaves and I roll my window up and back out of the parking space. I like Carl, but I'm really annoyed that he did that. His brief interruption just destroyed any chance of continuing what I was doing with Kira, at least for tonight. I just hope she lets us continue this some other night. Because now that I've had a taste of what's it like to be with her that way, I want more.
