Back into his Arms

Chapter 5

Alex was taken aback by her scream and suddenly straightened his back.

Confused, Alex asked, “What do you mean, you have no underwear? Like right now?” Alex said, looking down at her uniform and suddenly finding himself interested. He snapped out of it when she suddenly snapped her legs closed and pulled down her dress uniform.

“I mean, I have no underwear right now at all! I have nothing because you forgot to provide me some! Now, if you would be kind enough to return my luggage so I can get my undergarments that would be great! I’ve never been more uncomfortable in my life, sitting here, with a maniac like you hovering over me, sans underwear.” Nicole said, gritting her teeth.

Alex’s ears pricked up when he heard the world uncomfortable. He couldn’t believe his luck! Uncomfortable was she? Well, she’s about to get to know what real uncomfortable feels like.

“Then let’s go.”

Nicole stood up excitedly and asked, “We’re going to get my luggage? Thank you! I could hug you right now!”

“Don’t bother, we don’t have alcohol for you to use after you hug me.”

Alex turned around and headed for the door. Nicole quietly followed him, but was happy deep inside. She’s going to get her luggage back! She can hide a few things in this dress and maybe sell them. I mean, sure, I am in the middle of nowhere. But, well, I’m sure Nana will be delighted to buy some of her clothes and purses!

So it was with great surprise and dismay when she was led to a pick-up truck instead. Her luggage? Nowhere to be found.

“Where are my luggage?” Nicole exclaimed in disbelief.

“Who said anything about luggage? We’re going to the town 45 minutes away from here to get you some new underwear. Which, by the way, would be free of charge because of yours truly.

“You are seriously not asking me to ride a dusty pick-up truck without underwear for 90 minutes! Why even go through all these trouble when we can just get my luggage?”

Alex shrugged. “Just because. I do miss your company.” He said sarcastically.

“Now, you have a choice, either you’re getting into that truck willingly or I’m going to pick you like a sack of potatoes and drop you in the passenger seat like a freshly baked potato.”

Nicole crossed her arms. “You wouldn’t dare.”

“Try me. Although, with you being exposed right now to all kinds of things, I wouldn’t advise the latter choice.”

Nicole uncrossed her arms and walked reluctantly towards the filthy truck. God, how many fleas have had sex and birthed maggot critters in this sorry excuse of a car?! Nicole scratched her arms, opened the door and was about to sit when she realized just how tall the truck was. She wouldn’t be able to lift one of her legs that high without exposing herself! She turned around to ask Alex if he could somehow bring a stepping block that she could use when, without warning, he bent and swept her off her feet. Literally.

“WHaaat!” Nicole could do nothing but stare in horror as she was unceremoniously dropped like a sack of potato in the passenger seat. Alex pushed her car door shut and said, “That’s what happens when I’ve lost my patience. Now be a good girl and shut up!”

Alex then went around the car and sat right next to her. Before she even registered what just happened, he reversed and soon enough, they were on their way into town

Nicole tried to close the truck’s window as it gained speed to prevent her hair from getting messed up. But the truck decided it was too old to be closing its windows. She gave up and asked Alex to close the window for her. Miraculously, he obliged.
