SHE SAT IN THE PASSENGERS SEAT, GLANCING OCCASIONALLY BETWEEN HIM AND THE WINDOW. Every time she glanced at him, his facial expression remained the same. Unbothered and hard. His nose was slightly scrunched and his eyebrows were furrowed as he concentrated on the road ahead of him. Her heart raced slightly in her chest once his eyes met hers, staring are her for a few lingering seconds.
"So..." She trailed, looking out the window as she watched the passing trees. "Where exactly are we going?"
"Why? Do you have a hot date or something?" He asked, his lips curling into a sly smirk.
"No. I was just wondering because you are keeping me hostage since you're running from the cops." She sassed him, crossing her arms over her chest. "So, where are we going?"
He stayed silent, glaring at her. "I know we've know each other for a day but fucking hell you are annoying as shit with all your questions."
"Excuse me if I wanna know where the hell we are going since you practically kidnapped me and stole my car. We've been on the road for a day and a half and I'm fucking exhausted." She snapped, looking out the window.
He let out a growl before remaining silent. None of them said a word for a while. He took an exit off the highway and began driving down a long, empty road. The sky was beginning to dim as the sun was setting.
Not long after they stopped at a run down motel which to her, looked extremely sketchy. But that didn't seem to faze him as he was already used to this kind of stuff. Her eyes were glued onto a group of guys off in the corner, smoking and talking. She felt nervous as the car stopped and she turned to look at him.
"Put your hood on and stay close to me." He ordered and she listened, pulling the hood of her sweatshirt on her head. He did as well and the two of them got out, walking to the main desk to get a room for the night.
Once they retrieved a key, they walked to their assigned room and once the two were inside, he closed the door and locked it. Then he closed the curtains as she turned on the light, illuminating the room.
There was only one queen sized bed which made her mentally curse to herself as he sneakily planned this. There was a small full bathroom connected to the room. He handed her a duffle bag that was filled with their clothes.
Quietly thanking him, she disappeared into the bathroom to get washed up. She turned on the shower and made sure the water was warm enough before stripping her clothes off and stepping into the shower.
Her muscles instantly relaxed under the warm water and steam. She felt her eyes close shut and she let out a hum of content. The warm water helped sooth the aching in her back and she felt relieved to feel this relaxed. She couldn't remember the last time she was able to feel relaxed and content.
After washing up and getting a new pair of clothes on, she exited the bathroom and walked into the room, dropping the duffle bag on the floor beside the bed. Seeing as he was on the left side of the bed, she laid down on the right, leaving as much space as she could between them.
He chuckled, turning his head toward her. "Really?"
"Yes, really." She stated, turning her back toward him as she laid on her side.
"Not a fan of a little kissing and no telling?" He teased, causing her stomach to flutter and her cheeks to blush.
She ignored him, closing her eyes as she wished to get at least a few hours of sleep. But he grabbed her, pinning her hands and arms above her head, hovering over her small body. He had a cocky smirk on his face as he stared down at her.
"You know I can read right through this little act of yours, princess," He whispered, leaning his face down so their lips were centimeters apart. "Just because I'm a criminal and knowing what I do, doesn't change your feelings."
She pulled her bottom lip between her teeth nervously and he brought his lips to the skin of her neck, leaving kisses and brushing his lips against her skin. A gasp left her lips which gave him the opportunity to lock lips with her, tasting the sweetness of her lips. Her wrists wiggle in his grip and he let go, placing both hands on either side of her head as her hands instinctively went to the back of his head, running her fingers through his brown locks.
Their heads snapped toward the door as someone began banging loudly, causing her heart to race in her chest. "Cops! Open up!"
His eyes widened as her shot up off of her and she quickly grabbed their bag. "There's a back down. We'll go from there."
Following him out the back, they quickly and sneakily rushed to the car, getting in and driving away. The two were out of breath and he turned to her, placing his hand on her knee in attempt to calm her down.
"Guess we'll have to finish what we started another time, pretty girl."
