Peace Frog

*Lonna*

I thought I had seen it all with Kenisuke. He was a vampire. A fine one at that. My love smoked, did Poseidon, cursed worse than a drunken sailor, played heavy metal, and had been with many women. He could even get away with murder! But he had his limits. Kenisuke was gentle and loving towards me. He even opened different gates to the unknown for me. Before, I was too shy to do anything. My parents were overprotective of me. I didn’t get anywhere in life.

But now, I am more fearless with Kenisuke. I talk to people more. My hair is dark black. My nails are blackish blue. I wear make-up. I even bought my first heavy metal album. My parents feared Kenisuke. They thought he was corrupting my soul. I was warned of him constantly. I still stayed with my lovely vampire. I loved him tenderly. (Of course, I was still a virgin. I wasn’t ripe yet, he said.) Yep! I thought I had seen it all.

Then one summer night I was blown away. I was asleep in bed. A tap on the window woke me up. I opened my eyes and saw my beloved Kenisuke. He stood at the window with a grin. Mesmerized, I crawled out of bed to the window. I softly opened it. “Hello.” he greeted me in husky seductive voice. I froze in desire. “H-H-Hi.” I stammered out in heat. Kenisuke put his finger to my lips. Oh! His flesh is so warm!

“Come on, let’s go!” my love whispered. I was confused. “Where?” I asked. “I’ll explain later,” Kenisuke said. “Just hurry and get dressed.” I nodded without question. He waited as I complied.

Kenisuke carried me outside. Below was a car waiting for us. I waited for an explanation from my beloved. Kenisuke moved in front of me.

“I’m going to teach you how to drive.” Kenisuke boldly announced. My eyes widened. Me…. drive? “But Kenisuke!” I exclaimed. “I’m only fifteen years old!” My love covered my mouth quickly. “I know.” he whispered. “Good to learn early.” This is how persuasive Kenisuke is. He says something crazy in a selling way and smile at you. He got me again with this method. “I agree.” I said weakly through the muzzle. Kenisuke took his hand from my mouth. I just stared at him. He smiled and kissed me lightly. I felt as if I was under mind-control. I kept eyeing him lovingly. “Now,” Kenisuke spoke up. “Shall we start?” I nodded unconsciously. “Good.” he said. “Now get in.” I walked to the car on command. Kenisuke opened the door for me. I slipped into the driver’s side and shut the door. Kenisuke got in the passengers’ side and closed the door. “Drive us to the Elementary school parking lot.” he ordered. “Yes dear!” I replied. Then I started the engine and drove off.

You see I could drive a little bit. My grandpa secretly taught me last summer. We would go out on the open road in his truck and drive around for hours at a time. Those were good times. Maybe learning more wouldn’t kill me.

We arrived at the Elementary school parking lot. My old childhood memories came flooding back to me. Those were great days. Pure innocence. I guess I had that sweet little Lonna still in me. Damn! I thought I got rid of her for good! That little girl keeps coming back. I just can’t get her to leave.

Kenisuke cleared his throat to call my attention back to the car. I jerked up quickly. “You will still be Little Lonna to most people.” my love advised. I tried not to look annoyed. Kenisuke just smiled.

“Now,” said he. “Drive around and park in a random spot.” “All right.” I said. Then I started up the car and began the drive around. Turning and driving was smooth for me. I began to relax. Easy so far. Then came parking. This part makes me nervous. Grandpa tried to teach me how to park properly. That didn’t go too well. I ended up scared and crying.

Kenisuke placed his hand on my thigh. “Relax girl,” he said. “I am here for you. Just go for it.” I swallowed uneasily. I couldn’t speak. I felt tense. Kenisuke began rubbing my bare thigh. I tried to relax then. It didn’t help thought. Well, I’ll give it a shot.

As it turns out, I parked the car smoothly. I began to relax. Why was that so scary?

“Okay,” Kenisuke said. “Step out of the car.” I was confused. “Why?” I asked. “Just do it!” he ordered. I got out of the car silently. My lovely vampire followed behind. We walked about the car and inspected it closely. I parked it slightly crooked. Man, that was easy!

“Very good,” Kenisuke spoke up. “Now let’s work on getting straighter.” “Right.” I said. “Back in car.” my love said. I complied in silence. Kenisuke got in beside me. “Oh and Lonna,” he said. “Try and slow down some when backing out. K?” “All right.” I said.

We spent the whole night driving around in the parking lot. I began to get the hang of it. I felt as if I became one with the car. Backing up became smoother. I still scratched on the parking. “Try slowing down some.” Kenisuke suggested. “You’ll see your mistakes more clearly.” “Okay.” I softly replied.

Pretty soon, my driving was smoother. My taste for the road grew higher. “I want real road!” I called out. “Not tonight love.” Kenisuke spoke up. I felt like a deflated balloon. “Why?” I asked disappointed. My man pointed out the car window. I turned to look out the window. The sun was slowly rising. Morning was coming. Kenisuke had to rest. I sighed. “All right,” I said reluctantly. Keisuke leaned over to me. “Thanks love.” he whispered in my ear. Then he licked my cheek in a sexy way. I froze and grew hot red. Oh, that bloody devil! He sure knows how to seduce a woman!

I drove us home. Kenisuke helped me break into my house. As I watched him drive off from my window, I realized something. We were destroying another gate. There was only one more left. I instantly knew what that last gate was. I burned with ambition to crush it to pieces and venture out into the wilderness. I was almost a real woman now.

I’m Going Away
