Colby's POV
I wake up before Grace and just lay there until she wakes up. I was staring at the ceiling and I heard Grace moving.
"You up?"I ask.
"Yeah,"she whispers.
"So what else do you want to do today?"I ask.
"I dunno,"she says.
"Want see if they have a mall here?"I ask.
"No I don't have enough money for clothes or anything,"she says.
"Oh. Wait I have money but we don't have to spend it on clothes,"I say.
"Then what would we do?"she asks.
"How about we go bowling,"I suggest.
"Oh that sounds fun. Is there any bowling allies around here though?"she asks.
"Yeah there's one a few miles away,"I say.
"Ok,"she says. We get out of bed and head down to the lobby. We get to the car and I start it.
We drive about twenty minutes until we finally get there. We get out of the car and go inside.
"Let's get our shoes,"I say.
"Well obviously,"she says.
We approach the counter and get out shoes. We get our bowling balls and go to our lane.
"I'm probably going to suck at this. I haven't gone bowling in forever,"Grace says.
"You won't be any worse than me,"I say.
"Yeah right you're probably just saying that,"she says.
"Maybe I am, maybe I'm not but it doesn't matter because this just for fun,"I say.
"Very true,"she says,"You go first."
"Ok,"I say.
Grace's POV
I was so happy I was doing something fun with Colby besides going to the mall or watching a movie. He just took his turn and he got a strike.
"That was just lucky,"I say.
"You wish,"he smirks and I roll my eyes,"It's your turn."
"I know,"I say standing up. I grab my ball and go to the lane. I swing my arm back and bring it forward. I let go of the ball and watch it roll down the lane. I watch as it only hit five pins. I turn around to see Colby fake laughing.
"Shut up,"I say.
"Why? It was funny,"he says.
"At least I hit some of them,"I say.
"True,"he says.
As we took our turns bowling I was starting to get a little hungry.
"Hey Colby could we get a snack or something?"I ask.
"Yeah sure,"he says.
We walk over to the vending machines.
"What do you want?"Colby asks.
"Just potato chips,"I say.
"Ok,"he says then hands me the money.
I grab the chips and we walk back to out lane.
"We only have one more turn left,"he says.
"Ok,"I say.
We both take our turns. Once we clean up our lane we return our shoes and we go to the car.
"Well that was fun,"I say buckling my seatbelt.
"Yeah... so I was thinking about moving hotels,"Colby says.
"Why?"I ask.
"Well because I want to go somewhere else,"he says.
"Oh ok,"I say.
"Yeah so when we get there we should pack up,"he says.
"Ok I'm packed already,"I say,"I didn't bring much."
"Oh ok then I'll just pack,"he says.
"Mhm,"I hum.
We get back to the hotel and Colby immediately starts packing his things.
"Why are you in such a hurry?"I ask.
"Because I want to get out of here,"he says.
"Oh,"I say.
He takes fifteen minutes to finish packing.
"Ready?"he ask.
"I guess,"I shrug.
We check out of the hotel and put our things in the car.
"So where exactly are we going?"I ask getting into the car.
"I don't know. I normally just drive until I don't want to drive anymore,"he says.
"Oh,"I say,"You always know how to get home right?"
"Yeah,"he says staring the car.
"Ok good because I would like to go home someday,"I laugh.
"Yeah same,"he says.
We stop talking after that. It was getting boring so I turned on the radio. I turn on a station that was currently playing one of my favorite songs. I start to quietly sing along to the words.
"You have a nice voice,"Colby compliments.
"Oh you heard me?"I blush.
"Yeah but you sound good,"he says.
"No I don't,"I say.
"Yes you do,"he says.
"Whatever,"I say,"How long have we been driving?"
"About a half hour,"he says.
"When are we stopping?"I ask.
"Another hour or so,"he says.
"Ok,"I say.
***
We've been driving for an hour and I was super bored and tired.
"Colby can we stop now?"I ask.
"Uh... yeah,"he says,"Look out for a hotel."
"Ok,"I say.
I look at each exit sign but I haven't spotted any hotels.
I finally found one after fifteen minutes.
"Found one,"I say.
"Finally,"Colby says pulling off of the exit.
We get to the hotel and get our things out from the car. We check into the hotel and go to our room.
"I'm so tired,"I groan falling back onto the bed.
"Then go to sleep,"he says.
"Fine,"I say.
I go into the bathroom and get changed. I walk out and get into bed. I notice Colby just sitting in a chair while down at his lap.
"You ok Colby?"I ask.
"Huh? Uh- yeah just tired,"he says.
"Then go to sleep,"I mock what he said earlier.
"I will,"he says. He gets some clothes then goes into the bathroom.
I wait for him to get out. He walks out and puts his clothes in his suitcase. He climbs into bed next to me and wraps his arms around me.
"Night baby,"he whispers.
"Night,"I whisper back. I close my eyes and fall asleep.
