Unexpected

Ch. 8: On The Road Again

April 7th 10:00am

Ever so slowly, I wake up from the longish night but continue to keep my eyes closed in hope of falling back asleep.

This bed isn't too bad.

I take in a big breath then breathe out heavily.

Wait a second.

My eyes open wide and I look around without moving.

There's an arm around me. And my arm is on top of it.

I slowly move my arm up and rotate myself over so that I lay on my back.

And now his arm and hand are just laying on my back.

Hold the phone here. What do I do?

I close my eyes as soon as I hear him move.

He's probably up.

As soon as I think that to myself I feel his hand ever so slowly move up, and probably over towards him. Then the bed moves a little bit and foot steps can be heard walking into the bathroom.

That didn't mean to happen, just a total accident. No control. Exactly.

I roll over on my back and take my phone to text Hans good morning. After I press send I pull off the cheap covers and change my pj bottoms into my dark wash jeans leaving the white crew neck on.

As soon as I wrap the brown leather belt around my waist, the bathroom door opens revealing Jack, who is wearing a black and grey long sleeve with black jeans. His silvery white hair is a little messy but it still looks good.

"Good Morning, Jack," I say pleasantly.

"Good Morning, almost ready to hit the road?" He throws his suitcase on top of the bed, and opens it making sure he has everything.

"Yeah, almost." I buckle my belt and make sure everything is in my suitcase before placing it onto of the bed.

"Sweet, do you want to go check is out of the room and I'll put the bags in the car?" He looks at me with his deep blue eyes then looks away a little awkwardly.

I turn away looking down at my bag, "Sure, sounds good." I zip up my bag then walk out of the room and to the manager's office.

The little bell rings as I open the door to the office, about a millisecond after, I am greeted by the manager, "You whoo! Are you two checking out?"

"Yes sir, thank you again for the room." I pull out my wallet and wait for the total.

"Your total is $18, before leaving would you like to check out our big summer blow out?" He gives me a nice little grin.

But it's not even really close to summer...or the end of it.

Trying not to give him a confused look, I politely say no thank you and give him the money. "Thanks again!" I say as I walk out the door and back to the room.

Before turning the knob, I hear a honk of a car and turn around to find Jack sitting in our rental. "Let's go princess."

Again with that why?
