Under A Love Spell, Literally

1 2

We've been driving for half an hour and Mike hasn't stopped annoying me since I stepped on the gas pedal. Saying pickup lines, bragging, and talking about himself. To be honest, his ego is as big as the United States. Scratch that; it's bigger than all of North America!

"Hey guys, I got another one!" Mike says and Katerina, Caroline, and I both groan while Lor chuckles. "I'm an astronaut and I'd like to explore Uranus."

That one isn't as bad as the rest.

"Good one, let me think of one..... I must be hunting treasure because I'm digging your chest." Lor says after thinking for a few seconds.

"That was horrible!" I say.

"Think you can do better?" Mike challenges me.

"Here; You look familiar, don't we have classes together? I could've sworn we had Chemistry."

"Not bad, cupcake."

I stopped trying to make him stop calling me these names. He's impossible!

"Here's one: I'm no organ donor, but I'd be happy to give you my heart." Lorenzo looks very proud as he says that.

I have to admit, it's pretty good.

"Nice. Let me try," Katerina says, "Do you have a bandaid, cause I scrapped my knees falling for you."

"Ooh."

"I'll be using that one." Mike says with a smirk.

"Of all your curves your smile is my favorite." Lor is the one who says this one.

"Too corny, but sweet." Car says. "How about: Is your dad a preacher, cause girl you're a blessing."

"Nice one," I mutter.

"Guys, we're gonna be stopping by a gas station with bathrooms and a McDonald's." I swerve right when I spot the gas station.

"Good, cause I'm hungry." Katerina sighs from the back and puts her hands on her stomach.

"My gallbladder is gonna explode." Lor says.

No need for that information.

I park the car and stop the engine. Everyone hops out of the car and separates to satisfy their needs. I head to McDonald's and stand in line to get my food. A few more people later and it's finally my turn.

"Good morning, welcome to McDonald's. What would you like?"

"Uhh.. I'll have a spicy Big Tasty, two large fries, a large Coke, McNuggets with 6 pieces, and an apple pie." I smile at her and grab money from my wallet.

When I look back up, I find the red head giving me a blank stare. "Sorry, can you repeat that."

I repeat my order but slowly this time, and she gives me my receipt.

"Thank you for eating here, I hope you come back soon to eat at McDonald's." She gives me a big fake smile, and I smile genuinely back at her.

I take my food and put my sunglasses back on. Squinting, I spot our car and find everyone already standing there. My stomach rumbles from hunger and I comfort it in my head.

It's okay, it's okay. I got food. Shhh.

"Are you eating all of that on your own?" Mike stares at me, dumbfounded.

"Yeah, why?" I try to put a confused look on my face. I know people would think it's too much, but I don't. I'm a growing girl, a hungry growing girl.

"All the girls that I've been with starve themselves to get the 'perfect bod'"

I never get fat, and I'm not trying to brag. When I used to be younger, maybe 15, my aunt would always tell me I'm too skinny and that I hardly eat, and probably won't be able to gain a pound. So me being me, I tried proving you wrong. But I couldn't. No matter how much I ate, it wouldn't work.

I shrug at him and place my food at the hood of the car. "I can't drive since I'm gonna be eating so I'll leave the responsibility to Katerina."

"Fine by me." Katerina shrugs and hops into the driver's seat.

After I get into the car and sit next to Car, I realize that Lorenzo called shotgun and Mike is gonna be sitting next to us.

Oh joy.

I huff and take a bite out of my Big Tasty. Caroline is sitting between the both of us which gives me some space. Good; He won't be able to bother me as much.

"We're switching the next time we stop again." Caroline says.

"I heard that." Mike reaches to grab a fry from me, but I slap his hand away.

"Hey, Car. Do you want some fries?" I say loudly so Mike can hear.

"HEY!"

"Yeah sure. Thanks."

"That's just mean!" Mike scowls.

Haha!

"Ya get what ya get, boy." Katerina chuckles from the driver's seat.

"I didn't even get anything!"

"Too bad." I say, my mouth filled with food.

A thousand more pickup lines, a headache, and a very long nap, we finally reach the hotel in Arizona. The hotel's pretty big and looks pretty good from the outside. I try counting how many floors there are, but I loose count.

The first thing that hits me when I enter the lobby is... Wow!

Second thing, is that vase real gold?

Third, my parents probably paid a lot, seeing as this hotel looks very expensive.

There are chandeliers hanging from the very high ceilings, and everyone here is quiet while some classic music is playing. The lobby is very spacious and has all shades of beige everywhere. It looks fancy and sleek. We all head to the counter where we get our keys and give our bags to the bellman, or whatever their called; I'm not trying to sound rude.

"We guys will meet you later at four to get lunch. Wait for us at the lobby," Katerina instructs them.

"Don't miss me too much, Sugar." Mike smirks and winks at me. Lorenzo rolls her eyes and taps his foot impatiently.

"I'll try not to." I give him a fake dramatic look, and walk away with a laughing Caroline and Katerina.

We go to the elevator, and wait for what feels like forever to finally get to our floor since it's on the 56th floor.

"What's our room number?"

"5609," I say, looking at our key.

"I'm so tired." Caroline says with a sigh.

"I bet you're not as tired as I am," Katerina challenges.

"I might just sleep right here right now."

"No need. Here's our room." I look at Caroline and open the door. We get inside and I don't even look at my surroundings to see the room; I just flop onto my bed and begin to sleep.
