The Trucker

Chapter five

  I bang my head on the wheel as we are stuck in traffic. "I'm so stupid! How could I let this HAPPEN?!" I growl at myself I lean back and pull my hair, and the engine makes a noise, right before the truck jerks causing my little spout to stop, I sigh, hand on forehead "I'm so ignorant." My eyes water, Thunder seems to appear out of nowhere to comfort me, I smile and pet him. This is gonna take awhile, so I decided to pull some of the bullets out while we wait. Sure they would come out on their own, but it would take at least a day or two. Eh never mind, there are too many, it would hurt a lot anyway. I just groan and look up at the ceiling of the truck. "People wonder why I like making them happy." I say aloud to no one. "If I can't be happy I want to make sure no one I know, feels like I do." Thunder nudged me. "I'm sorry Thunder, i love you." I give him a little kiss on the head, I hardly slept last night, so I ended up conking out.

              She is something. I can't imagine why she feels this way, human emotions are very complex. My holo-form appears in the seat next to her, her pet rabbit immediately tries to defend her, but fails once I give him some of the lettuce Sophia gives him. I get a blanket from the back and put it on her. In her sleep she grabs my wrist and pulls me down. Then she snuggles into my chassis. I blush madly, 'cute...' the feline is also curious of me, but leaves me alone. The traffic starts moving so I move with it, until around 4 hours later then the family she has befriended pulls into a rest stop, I follow with my alt and park by them. Then I fall into recharge.

Sophia pov:

            I yawn and look up to what I am cuddling. I shoot up, I grab my bat-knife, he has woken up and I put it to his throat. He puts his hands up, staring at me with blazing blue eyes. "How did you get in here? Who are you?" I asked, slightly relieved that it wasn't the stalker. "I'm Orion, you passed out in your truck, the doors were unlocked so I drove you here, but when i went to leave you grabbed me and uh well...." He faltered and flustered a bit. My face turned red in embarrassment, I put the knife away, "I'm so sorry, you just scared  me, I'm Sophia, and thank you as well, I appreciate it. How about to thank you, I can get you something?" I asked politely, his face turned blue a bit and he looked away rubbing his neck, mumbling softly. "Hm? Did I say something wrong?" I asked worriedly. He shook his head. He looked at me now blue deepening. "You can let me take you on a date..." he mumbled shyly. I turned beet red "what?" He looked at me nervously "its okay if not I would understand..." he mumbled "I would love to, I just don't understand why you would want to date me?" I say looking down, confused on how anyone would would WILLINGLY date me. He takes a hand and gently moved my chin up to look at him in the eyes. "Because you're beautiful and funny, and cute." He says softly, i tear up a bit "please, I look like a naked mole rat with a wig." I mumbled. He shook his head "you say that you don't know how I can actually want to date you, I don't know how you can't look in the mirror and see how beautiful you are." He says in a baritone voice, but it was laced with love. "Well, I will warn you, I'm absolutely insane, and when I get comfortable I can go buck wild. Also squish-mellow sacrifices once a month." I say looking at him, brow raised, almost one hundred percent sure that he would back down. "Okay, I am prepared for it." He says smiling broadly. I looked at him dumbfounded. "How about we meet up at an ice cream place near by?" He asked, I nod, "okay, here's my number so you can text me the location." I give him my number, he nods and leaves. After I'm absolutely sure he his gone I squeal "Thunder! I just got asked on my first date! And he is so cute and sweet! Omg...." I groan and pull my eyes down. "I'm lactose intolerant, but that's okay, I'm sure they will have something for me." I say optimistically, combing my knot filled hair. Thunder did a small zoom around in his seat. Anna knocked on the door of the truck. I open and walk out with my clothes so I can change after a quick shower.
