Summer Nights
I had packed all my things up and took another shower and got dressed before hitting the road again. Harry did the same taking a quick shower and got dressed. We gave the keys back to the receptionist and walked out of the lobby toward the Harry's car. He put our bags in the truck of his Range Rover and was about to climb on to the driver’s seat when I stopped him.
"Wait. I wanna drive." I shout smiling with my hand on the door so he couldn't open it.
"What? No." He replies looking serious.
"Yes I'm driving, now give me the keys." I put my palm out and he places the keys on my hands without arguing.
"Fine, but drive safely." He says sounding like a dad who is teaching their daughter how to drive.
"I don't promise anything." With a smirk I get inside and turn on the car putting on my seatbelt. I see him release a breath and walk toward the passenger door.
"You know how to drive right?" He asks fastening his seatbelt.
"Of course I do. I mean come on, I drive a Toyota Supra twin turbo. You think I don't know about cars and how to drive them." My smile gets wider when I see him looking at me shocked.
"Okay fine let’s go then." He gives in. I was actually surprised he handed me the keys and let me drive, but I was happy.
"You just gotta keep telling me were to go, cause I have no idea which way to go." I say heading toward the streets.
We got out of the city and were on the highway now. I had my window down and turned on the radio, but there was no signal.
"Can this car have a plug to connect a phone to be able to listen to music?" I ask keeping my eyes and focus on the road.
"I thought you knew about cars?" Harry mocks with a smirk on his face.
I look over at him and squint my eyes at him. "Of course I do, but this isn't my car, plus I like older cars not the new ones with new technology. That’s why I'm asking you and cause I'm focusing on the road." I say looking back and forth between Harry and the road.
"Fine give me your phone." I hand him my phone and he plugs a cord into my phone and the stereo.
"Give me?" I ask with my hand asking for my phone.
"No keep your eyes on the road." Harry says looking through my phone.
"Okay fine, but I wanna listen to my type of music. I think you'll like it, who know." I say turning my attention back on the road.
"Why do you think I won’t like it?" He asks looking up at me.
"Because you're from England and most people haven’t heard of Chicano Rap it’s a type of music. I like any type of music any genre, but when I'm driving and cruising I like to play those songs." I honestly say.
"Okay what’s the name of the song? I'll try to like it." Harry says sounding not so sure.
"It’s called Summer Nights by Lil Rob." I look over and see Harry looking through my music and finding the song. He plays the song and the music starts playing. He gives me a look and his face is priceless. I can't help, but laugh at his expression.
"What you don't like it?" I ask.
"It’s weird, but the beat is good." He bounces his head up and down with the beat.
"The kind of women that would put up a fight for me, the kind of boss to would spend her summer night with me." I start singing along and Harry looks over at me.
"I'm sorry I know I can't sing, but deal with it." I laugh and he laughs too.
"No you're not that bad, and the song is catchy."
"People think we look crazy but I think we look classy, but then again, that's only if you ask me." I sing right before the chorus.
Harry joined in with me on the chorus singing the parts he remembered while I sang it all.
“Summer days just sittin around
But when the sun goes down, I'll be ready to party
(Whoa! Hey!) Ain't nothin like them summer nights
Keep the top on drop, all the girls lookin hot
Head to bo-lo and we just don't stop
Party until the mornin light (whoa!)
Ain't nothin like them summer nights"
The song was over and we both laughed
"You like this type of music?" He asks once we stop laughing.
"Yea that’s actually my second favorite song of alllll time. My number one is Lose Yourself by Eminem. But continue with the music, play the next song under the same artist." I continue to drive and I feel good. I feel happy for once. It has been so long since I genuinely felt happy and content with life. I felt free driving and listing to peaceful music. At least it was peaceful for me.
"Is it really. Wow I would have never guessed those were your favorite songs." He chuckles and plays the next song.
"Yupp these are my cruising songs." I proudly say.
"If I could press rewind and turn back time I wouldn't change a thing
Cuz this is me the way we live homie that's what I bring
Neighborhood music for my neighborhood people
Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil" I rap along getting into the song.
"You are crazy." He says shaking his head looking at the road ahead of us.
"Here give me the phone I'ma change it."
"Why? I thought you liked this song."
"I do, but I feel like listening to another song. It's different, but still rap."
"No you're driving." He holds the phone in his hands and leans further away.
"There’s no one on the road, just give me my phone." I whine leaning toward him to get the phone. I struggle, but successfully get the phone from him and look through my songs finding the song.
"Aha! Here it is." I play the song and instantly start singing along.
"Wanna be a -- baller, shot caller
Twenty inch blades -- on the Impala .............
I hit the HIIIGHWAY, making money the FLYYYY WAY
But there's got to be a BETT-ER WAYY!
A better way, better way, YEAH-AHHHH"
"That’s all I know from the song. I can't sing along cause I don't know what their saying." I laugh handing Harry the phone. He also laughs along and bobs his head up and down like me.
"They also talk about Impalas like in the first song." He noticed.
"Yea cause Impalas were the shit back in the days when Impalas were low-riders. I wish I had a 1963 Chevy Impala, but oh well they are hard to find and expensive." I shrug.
Once the song was over we continued to listen to the songs that came after. There were some songs he knew, and others he didn't, but he didn't say anything he was nice enough to let me listen to my songs. The car ride was fun, we laughed and talked until it was midnight and I was getting tried. We had been on the road for six hours now, stopping every now and then to put gas and stretch our legs.
We pulled over to the nearest motel on the road and got a room to rest for the night. I quickly changed into my pj and fell instantly to sleep with a smile on my face.
