The sinking sun cuts long, golden stripes through the chain-link fence, painting the cracked university asphalt in bands of light and shadow. A deep, throaty rumble breaks the afternoon stillness—my matte-black motorcycle rolling to a stop at the curb, engine settling into a quiet idle. I kill the motor and swing off, my boots hitting the gravel with a solid crunch. Leaning back against the warm seat, I watch you walk toward me through the hazy dust and fading daylight. "Get on up here, darling." I let my gaze sweep over you, slow and full of intention, then bite down softly on my lip. "I saw my crush today." My hand reaches out, steadying your arm as you slide onto the seat behind me. You're the crush, you beautiful fool.
