Road Trip

|Chapter 4

Nia slept about 5 minutes ago. I'm driving .

12:12 midnight. Kiana's taking next shift. All I could think about was sleeping and getting to the other city, the other state. We're heading west of California, towards Colorado to pick up Niah, and we have a looooooong way to go.

~

1:40 am' , We just passed Anaheim, going Los Angeles. Kia's taking shift around 3. Hopefully. Barely a few cars around, I bet they're wondering why a modified school bus is rolling around the highway. Gotta tell Nia to start putting up signs around the bus.

So much cities to pass by. Getting sleepy. Unresistable closure of eyes. I stop the bus just a few minutes away from the highway sign that says "Los Angeles" , at least we know we're nearing.

"Kia, Kia, Kia, Wake Up. Kia."

Her eyes opened just a bit, and she yawned.

"Your turn." I said, pointing at the driver's seat.

"Okay," she says, in a low voice, she gets up, kisses my cheek, and puts the bus on drive.

I lay down on the bed she was sleeping on, and closed my eyes, remembering that kiss in the cheek, which could have meant nothing.

"EVERYONE WAKE UPPPPP!" Nia shouts through the megaphone. "HERE WE ARE! LOS ANGELES, CITY OF ANGELS!"

"Turn the damn thing off Nia," I said. "We're trying to sleep here, go drive." Seeing that Kia already switched shifts with Nia.

"Wake up sleepy heads!" Adonis, already awake, shakes me me and Kia to get us out of our beds.

"So, do we s*yawns* stop here? Drop by gas stations and fill up? Or?" Still sleepy.

"Yes Dumb Dumb" Nia giggles.

"Okay, okay, weirdo." I reply back. "I'll go back to sleep, you guys stack up."

"I'm sleeping too, I had a long drive." Kia says. "Kai, scoot over"

"Huh?"

"Scoot" she repeats, "I like that bed, its comfy." She stood up, walked over, and lied down next to me.

"Oh my god Adonis, what are we seeing?" Nia says in a sarcastically shocked voice,

"Kyle use condoms!" Ado shouts.

"Shut up, we're only sleeping!" I shout back.
