The Trucker

Chapter fourteen

After that she left Optimus alone, except when it came to non romance topics. Optimus confronted me on the matter "Did you say something to Elita?" He asked suspiciously "to be fair she started it, you can watch the security footage." I say putting my hands up in innocence. "Also she dropped and then stepped on me, and I scared the living daylight outa her when I popped my head up." I snicker. He smiles at me, and lifts me up to his level before kissing me. I turn beet red, and he smiles bigger. "Is my little bunny getting flustered?" He teased me, i didn't respond, he kissed my neck softly, making me tense. He pulled away concerned "are you okay?" He asked, I nod, but this caused the nose bleed I was trying not to have happened. "Do I need to get Ratchet? Or a human doctor?" He asked worriedly. "No, this rarely happens, it happens when I get REALLY flustered." I explained "you can get me some tissues." I state at him. He nods opening his truck part of his chest, and carefully pulls a Kleenex box out. I wipe away the blood "Thanks." I say to him. He just smiled, "wanna go for a drive?" He asked. I nod "I would never turn you down, unless I absolutely had too." I say to him, returning his smile. He carries me out to the main hanger so he can transform, leaving me in the passenger seat. He drives off without another word.

     We had been driving for awhile when we came to an ice cream place. I get a slushy and Optimus is going to try cookie dough. I smile at his hologram's face when he gets to a cookie bit, we are sitting in a park nearby the place. "Careful you'll get a brain freeze." I warn him, he was eating it rather quickly, so He slows down a bit. Behind him I see an unknown man pointing a gun at his head. "Bean, when I say duck, duck your head immediately please." I say calmly and flatly. This scared him a bit, I hear the man pull the trigger. "Duck." I say with no tone, Optimus shoots his head down, letting me take the bullet. An audible gasp is heard, from the gunman and Optimus, I fell back because of the pressure. I fake death, the gunman ran to where I was laying and leaned over. My eyes snapped open and I snatched his shirt collar. He yells in surprise, the man is a bit young looking and has purple eyes. "You hesitated. Why?" I ask him, the man is shocked and trembling, I feel bad for him a bit, he obviously didn't want to do that. "I'm fine, what's your name?" I asked politely "5t3v3" the man responded "Hello Steve, it's nice to meet you, now tell Megatron for the last time, if he wants to talk, talk to me in person!" I snap. "I'm not snapping at you, I'm snapping at him, you're a cinnamon roll, you didn't do nothing to deserve that." I rub his head a bit sand let him go, he stumbled away before disappearing. Optimus helped me up. "You didn't have to do that." He says "also how did you know it was Megatron who sent him?" He asked curiously. "If I told you, you would think I was crazy and probably dump my sorry butt." I state plainly sitting up. "No I would not." He says defensively. "He had his scent." I explained "it smells like expired diesel, rust, and for some reason blue raspberry." I list the smell combo. Optimus nods like this is a completely normal conversation.

~Le time skip~

      It was about sunset and Optimus was on patrol, I was still in the park, but with Dotty and Thunder. I walk till I find a spot in the just outside the woods with an overlook and a beautiful view of the sunset. As I'm watching the sunset, my eyes become dreary, and the last thing I see before i give way to sleep is a grey jet on the horizon.

(A shorter chapter but I guess it's something 😅)
