It All Started With A Lamp

Chapter 6

Audrey's POV:

     I woke up with a start, and, jumping out of bed, I walked over to the bathroom. Turning the water on, I adjust the temp until I find the right one. Once the water is just the way I like it, I hop in.

      Grabbing the soap, I wash my body. Then grabbing my razor, I shave my legs. After getting my body clean, I reach for the hotel shampoo... only to realize its not there. Quickly I hop out of the shower, a little too quickly actually. I slip on the tile floor and land on my ass.

      Groaning, I try to stand up, only to slip again. Breathing, I yell out, " HELP! I'VE FALLEN AND I CANT GET UP! MICHELLE!" She comes running in giggling. "You can't be serio... " she pauses, then falls to the ground laughing. "Shut up and help me asshole!" She chuckles, then grabs a towel, chucks it at me, and turns off the water. I wrap the towel around me, and she helps me off the ground.

      I rub my behind. "Thanks, jerk" she smiles, "Anytime, bitch." I dry off, and put on fresh clothes. "Hey, since I don't trust myself in the shower, mind if we pick up some spray in shampoo and conditioner?" She bobs her head, "No problemo! How bout next time at the store when we're getting food?" I nod, "Sounds good! Thanks!"

     We agree to head straight to Orville today, after breakfast of course. We check out of the hotel, and drive to a local café. Michelle ordered Eggs Benedict with a side of two small buttermilk pancakes and I ordered two Banana Walnut Pancakes with powered sugar and two scrambled eggs, (to me, banana pancakes actually sounds disgusting, but it sounds best with walnuts, so...).

       We go to pay the check, only for the waiter to say someone already played our bill. We asked who, but the waiter said they wanted to remain anonymous. So, we told the waiter to thank them for us, got up, and left.

     Pulling out of the parking space, Michelle looks at me, then back at the road. She starts to pull the hairs on the back of her neck. "I wonder who payed for our meal?" She asks, I shrug, "Honestly, I have no clue."

     We head down highway 99. Michelle turns on the music, but some rap shit comes on. "AHHHHH! TURN IT OFF!" I scream, waving my arms around. She rolls her eyes, " What station, your majesty?" I sit straight with my hands in my lap, " Just move around, I'll tell you when to stop," I say in an English accent. She sighs, "Yes mam," then turns the knob.

      I tell her to stop when I hear Skillet. My favorite song by them, Whispers in the Dark, is playing, why wouldn't I?, ( I actually really like that song, listen to it.)

      "No! You'll never be alone!

When darkness comes I'll light the night with stars

       Hear my whispers in the dark!"

    I sing along with the radio, banging my head in time with the music. She reaches for the volume. I slap her hand away, "DO NOT TOUCH MY RADIO BITCH!" I scream, then start dancing in my seat. She gives me a look, then switches her attention back to the road, relaxing into her seat.
