Both alarms go off at 4:15. Josh smacks our phones into the drawer of the nightstand and buries his face into my neck. "Babe" I say groggy "I can still here the alarm" "No...No you can't" he utters. I basically peel Josh off of my body and stumble to the door. I grab my toiletries and towel and head the bathroom... I am not traveling hours to Washington un-showered. Josh drunkenly follows behind me and joins me the shower after relieving himself. I let the hot water fall over me soothing my tired body. Josh throws the curtain opens and rotates me so he's now under the shower. I pout so he wraps his arms around me so we both start getting splashed.
Our eyes are both closed from extreme fatigue and we squint them open enough to reach for the shampoo and soap. Damn, it feels so good in this warm shower with him. Reality kicks in when he turns of the faucet. I wring my hair out and wrap the towel around me. I wipe the mirror clean from the built up fog. And I see hit. Several massive hickies in between my neck and chest. "Are you shitting me?" I blurt. Josh opens his eyes enough to see his damage from the night before. It almost looks like I got attacked by leeches.
"Well at least they know I own you" he remarks. "Babe, who? We're in a car for hours and then we're spending time with her family?" I whine. Josh can see how visibly upset I am and I try to place cover up on them, but nothing is working. I put a hand up to Josh to signal to stop as he approaches me. I race to blow dry most of my hair and storm out of the bathroom with Josh following me. I'm not angry that he did it...Hell I would welcome what happened last night a million times, but I'm more embarrassed at that people will see.
He shuts the door behind me as I drop my towel and start getting dressed. "Are you seriously going to throw a tantrum this early in the morning?" he storms. "I'm not throwing a tantrum. I'm not mad that you did this...I'm just embarrassed that I can't hide most of them." He sighs and stops me from putting my yoga pants on "Babe, please don't be embarrassed...I just won't get so carried away next time" his lips curl into a smile. I pull away seeing that he's not trying to fix the situation but more or less play the situation up. I throw my hands up "Let's just forget about my mangled chest and neck and get dressed. We only have 20 minutes."
Seeing that we're road-tripping for several hours I go with Capri yoga pants and a tee shirt. I throw a thin layer workout jacket overtop to hide the marks even more and place a beanie over my hair to keep my hair in place hiding the ones on my neck. Meanwhile, Josh is wearing long basketball shorts and a tee shirt. We grab our belongings and lock the door behind us. We emerge into the lounge and see Matt and Lacey multiple with cans in their hands. Lacey extends two cans to me showing me that they're energy drinks.
Josh places our bags in the trunk of Matt's truck. Matt closes it behind him and states he and Lacey will drive for the first few hours so we can sleep now and switch later. Josh glances at me and signals me to rest my head in his lap. I remove my beanie and pull my hair up into a messy bun. I probably shouldn't unbuckle my seat belt but Matt's truck has so much space in the back I couldn't resist. I sprawl out with my head in Josh's lap as he runs his fingers up and down my back. I soon feel him stop and hear the deep breathing he makes when he's asleep. I glance up to see he's placed pillow against the window and is completely out. I snuggle into him and fall quickly behind him.
