The Trucker

Chapter nine

"Ow!" The guy I just punched yelps as he steps back, "sorry! Sorry!" I say to him apologizing rapidly. I am in an unfamiliar room, and start to freak out a bit, Dotty and Thunder come to my rescue. I sigh with relief petting them gently, and the men leave the room. Before they could close the door Orion, or Optimus walked in. He looked sad and happy at the same time. Walking over, he sits at the end of my bed. "Did you mean all that?" He asked, I sigh, and nod slowly. "It's why I don't value myself, why I call myself a naked mole rat. It's why I have Thunder, I just am good at hiding it." I explain calmly. He sighed, and I sit up to hug him. "Sorry you had to hear that." I apologize, I looked at him with puppy eyes. "Forgive me?" I asked hopefully. He smiled and kissed my forehead lightly "I have nothing to forgive my little bunny." He says happy tone. "Im no bunny," I pause and grin wickedly "I'm a demon." My voice deepens dramatically. He chuckled. "Well you're my bunny." He says and pets my head lightly. "And you're my bean." I tease at him. He chuckled again, "only for you." I stick my tongue out at his comment. "I brought you, uh, I think you called it a sacrifice?" He asked handing me a bag with a bunny squish-mellow inside. I take it out and wrap my arms and legs around it "Mine..." I say in an almost hissing tone. He outright laughs at this. "Told you I am insane." I say, not removing my legs or arms. "I don't care, it makes you beautiful, and irresistible." He poked my side when he said it. I squeal a bit and wiggled, a devious grin flashes on his face. "You wouldn't dare..." I say. He the proceeds to tickle me mercilessly, I wiggle and move, laughing, but he starts trying to tickle my neck, my face turns beet red, and he sees this, yanking his hand away. "Sorry... sensitive neck." I say catching my breath. He turns a light shade of blue "can I kiss you?" He asked nervous "if you want." I shrug a little, but also nervous. He then leans forward and pecks my neck, making my gasp lightly, then my cheek, then my nose, finally my other cheek before pulling away. My nose is on the brink of bleeding at this point, my ears are red. He smiles at me, "okay I need to get changed so scat! Go on get!" I shoo him teasingly he holds up his hands and walks out. He closes the door and I get changed quickly for the day.

      I step out, Dotty on my neck, Thunder in my sling. Optimus is waiting for me outside the door, I wave a little "Oh it's been 45 years since we have seen each other, how have you been?" I ask, voice heavy with sarcasm. He rolls his eyes. "If you don't want to come back to the hanger then just say so." He teased me lightly. I fiddled with my hands and looked away nervously. "Will that guy be there?" I asked he hugged me "I do not think so, but even if he is, I think he will apologize, he said he would right after you fainted." I relax, and a devious grin flashed on his face, I give him a look. "Optimus...what are you-" I don't have time to react when he picks me up bridle style, making Dotty jump onto his neck. He walks down the hall with me, I just go limp, not wanting to be held like this. "Lemme gooooo...." I groan at him. He chuckled "never." I give him a look "never ever?" I shook his head. "Never ever." He repeated teasingly. He walked with me into the hanger. I now started to wiggle "unhand me!" I whisper to him. He shook his head. "You leave me no choice." I say. Me and Dotty make eye contact, and she understands the assignment. She crawled into his sleeve making him jump and drop me on my bum. Dotty slithers out the other end, then jumps onto my neck. He rolls his eyes before disappearing into thin air. His truck form transformed into the bot form. Anna ran over to us. "Are you a princess now?!" She asked I looked at her confused. "Why would I be a princess?" I asked "Because he is their leader!" She exclaimed. I raised a brow at Optimus. "No I'm not a princess, nor do I want to be, it means I would have to wear dresses and be fancy and elegant." I say in a mocking tone, moving my hand around a bit for dramatic flare. "I'd rather kiss the floor than wear a dress." I say. She looks at me dumbfounded. "There are some exceptions to this, but not many." I explained to her shrugging. "Why don't you like dressing up? It's so fun!" I wave my hands at her. "No I LOVE dressing up, just not in the usual fashion..." I say showing her some pics of the costumes I've made and have worn to events. "I like that one! You look so cool!" She says eyes glittering. I smile, "I'll have to show you it sometime." She nodded vigorously "now go on, be with your dad, you won't be able to stay here forever." I tease. She nods and runs off.

      The yellow bot from earlier walks up to me beeping and buzzing. "Translation please?" I asked looking at Optimus "BumbleBee wants to know what's in your sling." He translates. Bee nods "oh this is Thunder, a holland lop rabbit." Thunder pokes his head out at his name. Bee's eyes expand and move. Making adorable little noises at the bunny. "He's a little demon, but I love him, if any loud noises happen his little lop ears will shoot up, it's so cute and funny, but he hates loud noise, can't really blame him, I do too." I explained in a happy tone, "sorry I love talking about rabbits..." I apologize rubbing the back of my head. Bee cocks his head and makes some inquisitive beeps and whirls. "He's asking why you are apologizing, he finds what you are saying interesting." Optimus explained, I smile at Bee, "thank you, maybe we can talk soon about this, if you want." I say, bee nods. Optimus glares at the ground, not making a noise. I walk over and put my hand on his foot "as FRIENDS Optimus, I would never do that, ever." He glances at me
"I'm not offended either, just so you know, you have the right to be concerned." He picks me up and placed me gently on his shoulder.
