Road trip

21- Dont leave me

Multiple blankets and the heat of Austin's breath on my face was almost enough to keep me comfortable enough so that I could sleep.

Unfortunately my mind wouldn't shut off and every time I closed my eyes and dozed off the smallest sound or movement woke me up again. When the light began to come through the blinds I was beyond exhausted but there was no way I could sleep now, we had to leave in less than four hours and even though we could stop as often as we wanted now that our stops weren't pre planned, I still wanted to get some distance made up.

I tried to discreetly slide out of the bed when his arm tightened on my waist and pulled me back to him.

"We don't have to get up yet." He mumbled sleepily "just cuddle with me."

I was going to protest but there really wasn't any reason too. We had plenty of time and I did enjoy the feeling of being in his arms.

I turned to face him, carefully examining his long eyelashes and sleepy features. He was prefect, my best friend and well- whatever we were on top of that?

"Promise me something?" I whispered as my thoughts caught up with me.

"Anything." He mumbled.

"Don't leave me?" I brushed my finger over his bottom lip.

"I'm not leaving you here?" A grin spread on his face though his eyes were still closed.

"Thats not what I meant. I just, I don't think I'd survive if you left me too." I admitted, instantly regretting it.

His eyes snapped open as his hand moved up to cup my cheek. "Anna I'm not leaving you, ever. I promise it's me and you against the world forever." He smiled leaning forward to peck my lips.

I felt the surge of sparks jolting through me and wondered how? How something as small as a peck could make me feel as warm and electrified as it did each time he kissed me.

I leaned into him and he responded. His lips caressed mine slowly, delicately, as his tongue danced with mine. It was a kiss that left me dizzy and disoriented but I never wanted it to end.

"Let's get some more sleep before we hit the road?" He suggested but I had other ideas. My body was wide awake now and it craved him.

"I have a better idea." I slipped a hand down towards his pajama pants and played with the fabric sitting on his waist. "I mean we can sleep if you want to?" I looked up at his hooded eyes as he stared at my lips.

"Yeah, suddenly I'm not tired anymore." He rasped as his fingers skimmed my waist and pulled me into him. "I'm never leaving you." He whispered before his lips were on mine.

When I felt him push into me this time it wasn't like the like time. It wasn't uncomfortable or weird, almost as if we both had somewhat of an idea of how to do this now.

"Austin." I moaned when his lips sucked the skin below my ear. "Austin, I ..." I felt like I needed to pee, but as if every nerve in my lower body was begging me to just let it go.

I was straining, trying my hardest not to have to stop to use the bathroom when the tension in my body exploded into a million stars as I cried out. A new pulsing pleasure taking over my body.

I no longer had the urge to pee and as Austin finished and laid back beside me I couldn't help but smile at the guy that made me happier than I ever imagined. The guy who made me believe that maybe, just maybe this could all work out.

After about thirty minutes of laying in bed we both got up and showered before getting back into the truck. We had a full days drive left to get to Niagara Falls which meant that we would either drive for twenty four hours or make another Pitt stop.

I wasn't totally against stopping and not being crammed in the truck anyway.

"I was thinking we stop in Chicago? It's about half way there and it only puts us off one day?" He said as we drove through Nebraska.

"That's fine with me." I grinned as I took a sip of my Coca Cola.

We turned up the radio after that and let the music play as we drove through nothing but fields pretty much to Iowa.

Iowa is basically the same, fields and farm land for as far as the eye can see. Don't get me wrong it's beautiful, just doesn't make for good conversation or I spy.

When we finally made it into Illinois and the scenic views migrated to tall skyscrapers I knew we were getting close. My butt was numb from sitting, the few rest stops and gas stops not enough to cure the numbness, and yet as Austin drove up the side of Lake Michigan into a luxurious area of the city, I didn't even care.

"Les meridien Essex Chicago?, looks nice? Whatcha think Anna?" He asked as we pulled into a hotel right next to a big park.

"Looks perfect." I smiled, "but after we get the room can we go eat? I'm starving and that gas station hot dog a few hours ago didn't fill me up."

He shot me a shit eating grin as he opened his door "of course princess Anna. I would hate for you to get all Hangry on me."

"Shut up dork!" I rolled my eyes with a smirk before following him into the hotel.

That night was amazing. He took me on a real dress up date to some nice restaurant on the lake and then when we got back we tried to experiment with me on top.

It was basically a whole fit of giggles and awkward moments until we gave up and he rolled us over so he was on top, but on the bright side we were both as inexperienced as the other so the whole thing was very amusing.

When we left the next morning to get to Niagara Falls I couldn't help thinking about molly and my promise to her.

Was I a bad friend for sleeping with her guy? When she asked me to take care of him did she mean specifically as just friends? Or could she have meant that she wanted us to be happy together?

I guess that's the thing about making promises to people who die, you can't ever ask them.
