Laurens, I Like You A Lot

Road Trip

I wrote this chapter soooooo long ago omg. I wrote crazily back then. Plus, I only update twice, so I have plenty of time. Like, from writing this, I've written 26 other chapters that aren't out yet. I'm rambling, aren't I?
Also, can I say that I deeply appreciate all the reads and votes I've been getting. Thanks so much, I haven't done an official thanks, well, here it is 😊

John's P.O.V

I'm shaken awake by Alexander.

"Baby, it's already 6 am. We gotta get going." I groan, not wanting to wake up. I sit up, rubbing my eyes.

"Oh my gosh." I say. He has a huge smile on his face, and I can't help but smile as well.

"Okay, I'm gonna go brush my teeth." He comes in after me, which isn't a surprise. He sits on the toilet seat as I put the toothpaste on the brush.

"We're gonna have so much fun in Boston! I can't wait to see literally everything."

"Same here. I'm not gonna enjoy driving however." I start brushing my teeth as Alexander laughs.

"Yeah, sorry I don't have my license. Maybe you could teach me." I spit out some toothpaste.

"If you really want. It'll be disastrous, but it's doable." I say before going back to my teeth.

"Really?" I nod my head and Alex grabs my hand. "I would appreciate it. Oh my gosh, what are gonna do first in Boston? We're only there for 2 days and then we go and see your parents for Christmas. What day is it again? The 22nd? Wow, December went by quickly, even though it's not entirely over." He keeps rambling on as I spit out my toothpaste and I rinse my mouth. I grab his face gently and I plant a long kiss on his lips. He pulls away, speechless.

"W-what was that for?"

"I love hearing you talk, but you just needed to shut up for a second." He blushes and I pinch his cheek, making it worse for him.

"I'm gonna check our bags again."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

20 minutes in driving and Alexander has already started his rambling again.

"No but seriously, what are we gonna see first? Should we go to Prudential? Downtown? Assembly? I read they have a good movie theater, but why would we go all the way to Boston for a movie theater? We could walk around Boston Common, I know there's a lot of historical spots there." I sigh, reaching over to grab his hand. I rub my fingers over his knuckles.

"Are you nervous?" I ask calmly. He scoffs, but doesn't answer. "You don't have to be nervous. It's just another city."

"I'm not nervous. I mean, I kind of am, like what if something bad happens while we're there?"

"Which isn't gonna happen."

"I think I'm just so excited that my nerves are getting to me."

"That's cute."

"Shut up." I smile, letting go of his hand. He grabs my hand again, holding it close to his lap. "I didn't say you could stop holding my hand." I laugh, readjusting my position so I'm not uncomfortable and so I can keep driving.

"Feisty." I say. He laughs.

"What can I say? I'm excited."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

One hour in, I look over to Alexander who's resting. He lowered the seat and he's snoring softly. I smile and when I stop at a light, I take a picture of him. I quickly put my phone away as I continue to drive.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Second hour in, Alexander is eating some granola bars we have and sipping some water.

"Wow, Boston is kind of far."

"We have like another 2 hours left." Alex widens his eyes and I laugh.

"What the heck? That's crazy."

"I mean, it is kind of far." I say calmly.

"Oh my gosh, what am I supposed to do for another 2 hours? You're driving which means I can't be entertained by you and I'm tired of my phone."

"Let's play a game." I say.

"Okay, great. What game?"

"Let's play would you rather." I suggest.

"Sure. You start." I take a while to think about it and then I finally come up with something.

"Would you rather have me laugh every time I see you naked or cry?" Alexander gives me a weird look and I just laugh.

"Woah, what the hell? Hmmmm. How about laugh? Cause I feel like you would laugh just cause I'm naked, not cause my body is embarrassing."

"Of course your body is not embarrassing. It's perfect, even though I've never seen it, but I would love to." I look over to Alexander and I see him blushing slightly. "Your turn."

"Would you rather be horny once a year or 24/7?" He asks. I laugh, surprised by his question.

"Shoot. I actually have no idea. Maybe every day, because once a year means that I won't be into sex all the other days and that's not good." Alex nods his head.

"Good to know. Your turn."

"Would you rather cry every time you had sex or burp every time I kissed you?"

"Laurens, these questions are literally impossible. Does that mean when we're making out, it would just be interrupted by my hiccuping? And when I cry, is it an ugly cry or?"

"Oh my gosh Hamilton, it was just a question." I laugh and he laughs with me.

"Maybe cry? I don't know. These are hard. Okay my turn. Would you rather work in a strip club or in the porn industry?"

"Alexander! I didn't even know you knew about porn!"

"Yeah...that sleepover with Laf and Herc certainly changed me." I laugh.

"Oh my gosh. Maybe the strip club, since I won't actually have sex with people."

"Smart choice. Wise choice, especially since you're dating me."

"You wouldn't let me have a job in the porn industry? I'm hurt." I say, putting my hand on my chest.

"Um...no."

"What if we're like really poor and our children are starving and we're late on rent and everything?"

"Awww, you want to have children with me?"

"Of course I do. You're the love of my life, of course I want to raise children with you." Alexander blushes again and I grab his hand. "You'd make a great father."

"You would too. Probably raise some of them to be athletes."

"And then some of them would be scholars and smarter than me."

"True. You're dumb." I slap his knee slightly and he laughs.

"You're lucky I love you. So. Much." He leans over and places a kiss on my cheek.

"I know."
