Michaels P.O.V
"So where are we going to eat?" I ask on the ride down in the elevator.
"McDonalds?" Ashlyn grins, she reaches inside her bag checking for something,"here's the plan, I have clothes in my car, so I'm all set for a while. So tonight we grab food and get a hotel room," I smirk at her, she throws her head back and laughs," then tomorrow we go by your house and grab your stuff then we hit the road. Actually, my birthday is in a few days so I'll be 18 and I can do what ever I want." she finishes, I can tell she's making a mental checklist.
"Sounds like a plan. Wait, how are you a junior and you're almost 18?"
"I stayed back in first grade." she says shyly, obviously embarrassed.
"Well, me too." I smile down at her, she's so short compared to me, I love he- I mean it.
The car had pulled up at the closest McDonalds, the golden double arch glowing in front of us. We climb out and go inside.
"Can I have a milkshake and..." Ashlyn continued listing the things she wanted to the service person standing there. She turns to me,"I think I just ordered for you." she chuckles, I laugh, I think she ordered everything on the menu. She pays and we go wait.
Sitting at the table, a random pop song comes on. It's catchy, I hear Ashlyn humming along.
"What song is this?" I ask, I was mindlessly picking under my nails.
"I don't know but it's annoying and catchy." she shrugs
A lady behind the counter at the front calls for us to get our order.
"It looks so good." I'm really hungry, we both haven't eaten since 3pm and it's about 8pm right now.
"I know right." she gestures to the food,"pick what you want." I immediately grab the iced coffee, then I grab the burger, I'll go back for more later. Ashlyn grabs the fries and the large chocolate milkshake. We both dig in.
"Okay so" I swallow my food,"where are we staying tonight?"
"I'm thinking a hotel, like Hilton? Or is it Holden? I have no clue. But a place like that."
"They might think we...." I stopped abruptly, not knowing how that sentence was going to end.
"We.... What?" Ashlyn pushes for more information.
"Sex crazed teenagers." I laugh, she bursts out laughing. I choke on my burger for a second.
"Jesus, don't die on me!" her eyes crinkle when she laughs, making her look even cuter than she typically does. Damn it, it's been a long day.
"I won't I won't!" I lift my hands in defeat, like you would raise a white flag.
"Tomorrow we go to your house grab your stuff then we go sightseeing right?"
"Sounds good, think we can finish high school somewhere else." I meant it as a joke.
"Maybe." she shrugs,taking a bite of some other food she had bought,"I still want to attend a University."
"I was joking Ashlyn, there's some weird vacation coming up, random for October right?"
"Yeah it is, wait, we can stay out even longer!"
"You can't be serious." I watch her suspiciously.
"Oh I am." she smirks.
"Oh god."
