Extinct

As we drive down the road we listen to music, talk to one another about our powers and favorite movie at the time. As we reach Ottawa we get stuck in traffic. It was a road crew paving the old cracked four lane high way.

"What the hell are we going to do in Ohio" I turn away from the window and stare at Ares who was already looking at me.

"You know. It's not good to stare" I tease

"Shut up Davis"

"Seriously though what are we going to do there?"

"Explore. I don't know Davis, I've never been here"

I roll my eyes look back out the window. 'Admiring' the trees

As we sit for what seemed like hours we start to notice small bugs flying around the car. Thankfully windows were up. It was a large swarm of bees. I hate to think of the poor road crewman that stirred up that nest. There were so many, not only on the car but those around us were being surrounded by them. We finally got away from the bees and the road work.

"THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT THE SUNSHINE BABY" I begin to sing loudly

"don't do it bels" Ares says loudly over the music

I look at Ares and smile widely as I shout the next few lyrics

"I'M SEEING YOU IN A WHOLE NEW LIGHT, OUT OF THIS WORLD FOR THE FIRST TIME, BABY" I pause the song

"Come on Ash. You have do the next part with me"

"no"

"yes"

"no"

"pleaseeee" I beg

"fine"

"WOOHOO" I shout and un-pause the song and the nudge his arm to sing

"OH, ITS SO RIGHTTT" I sing shouting the lyrics meanwhile Ares is just normally singing. No excitement there.

God this man. Even without trying he is just perfect, he has the voice of an angel. Is there anything Ares Salazar can't do?

Kill you

Why's that?

Don't play stupid Bella

Ares and I had never been in Ohio, so trying to find our way was slow. He did use the GPS but the drive was still slow. We came to the second largest city in Ohio, how fun.

It reminded me back in the 1800's how towns were small community oriented. Not this time. This time we entered the CITY. So much for a get away.

Tell me about it

Ares and I stopped at a small brick building that was the local hangout for food and football. Except we were only here because we were hungry and I seriously had to pee.

The local knew we were from out of here. Definitely not from here.

"How's McDonalds sound?" Ares questions me as I get back into the car after peeing.

"UM IS THAT EVEN A QUESTION?"

"Relax Davis" he chuckles

We ate and left to find our Air BNB which for your information, and not that you asked but it was on the most gorgeous piece of farm land. There was cotton fields surrounding the area and the little Air BNB was the best place we could of asked for. The owner was not far away and if we needed any thing they were just a text away. I'm kind of sad that it is only a weekend trip but one that I will remember for ever.

I hope.

We got out of the car and made our way to the Air BNB. It wasn't too big but it wasn't too small either. It was just right. We were surrounded by beautiful flowers and all around us was just land. It was beautiful.

It was seven o'clock, the sun had just set. Let's not forget to mention that the drive was a good whopping eight hour drive. MY ASS HURTS.

Now let's not mention that this man just up and left and we have no clothes to change into.

He is going to be the death of me this week. I know it.
