You know the two of us are just young gods. And we'll be flying through the streets with the people underneath.

Elle was content, feeling the wind rush through her hair. She felt so alive. She was so comfortable wearing his old, distressed denim jacket. Michael was leaning over the side of the rooftop edge, looking down at all the cars that were zooming past. It was all a blur to him. He was in a daze. Michael had his arms wrapped around his girlfriend and she had her arms spread out, trying to obtain more of the breeze that was surrounding her. She loved being so high up. It was so nice to feel some sort of coldness in the hot Australian air.

"Oh shit, that car just got ticketed big time," Michael said, pointing out a white Camry that had been speeding.

Elle followed his line of point and noticed the car that was pulling over now to the curb of the road.

"What happened?" Elle asked, she hadn't been watching the car. Her eyes had been closed enjoying the feeling of the air brush past her.

"He was speeding and cut off like four cars, one of them being a cop car," Michael explained, he watched as the cop and the suspect discussed on the side of the road.

"Doesn't mean he's going to get a ticket. His wife could be going in to labor or his child could be throwing up," Elle said, trying to defend the guy that was pulled over.

Elle must've been right because the policeman went back to his car and started driving in front of the white car; the car following behind.

"Why are you always right?" Michael asked.

"Because I just am," Elle said smiling widely.

Elle was always so obnoxious when it came to bragging about anything academic or knowledgeable. Michael hated her for that. Not like he'd tell her that. Michael rolled his eyes and glanced back down at the street, finding a new car to follow.

"Why did you roll your eyes?" Elle asked, questioning her boyfriend. She was genuinely curious.

Michael hesitated before answering the girl. He didn't want to offend her by telling her the truth. He made eye contact with her and she could sense his hesitation.

"It was out of sarcasm babe," Michael said. His voice had gone gravely and he knew Elle wasn't believing him like she normally would.

"Ok, whatever," Elle huffed. She was annoyed. She knew Michael could get annoyed of her but why would he ask to hang out with her if he was going to be rude.

"Hey. Don't get like that babe. You know I was just kidding," Michael argued. He leaned down and placed his lips softly on the girl in front of him trying to calm her down.

He really didn't need his fuck buddy to get mad at him.

"Okay. Sorry for over reacting," she said.

Elle kissed Michael back as he pressed her against the brick railing of the building.

"I love you," Elle said, running her fingers through Michael's hair softly.

"You too."
