The Runaways

The Runaways: Chp 10: Room 35

Jacob's P.O.V

After Livi ran away I smiled to myself, and began to blush a little. I covered my cheeks and turned around to see the old counter lady staring at me. She signaled me to walk over to her, I did as told. She spoke in a whispering tone.

Old counter lady: " I see you two youngsters like each other eh?" he cheeks sagged low and she had overly sized glasses on.

"I like her...but I don't know if she likes me back". She smiled at me as much as she could, I could tell she was struggling, "well make a move !, I can tell she likes you back by the way she looks at you, don't let her get away, make her YOURS".

I nodded by head and went searching for Livi. I could see her feet under the rack. I sat down by it and waited for her to come out. Soon enough she did, not knowing that I was watching her every move. She called my name and I slowly walked behind her, wrapping my arms around her slim waist. Her smooth arms laid across mines, as I snuggled my chin into her shoulder. I felt as if this is were we were suppose to be, as if we were meant for each other. Suddenly she pulled away from me, did I do something wrong? 

"are you okay?"  I asked. She began to tug down on her sleeves, "yeah...I'm fine". I couldn't help but feel bad, did I make her uncomfortable?. "I'll help you look for some shirts" she said. I nodded my head and we walked to the boys section. Immediately something caught her eye, "come here Jakey!". I ran up to her and she handed me this green and red  plaid shirts. "you remembered my two favorite colors I see?". She began tugging on her sleeves again, "how could I forget". 

We finished up and cashed out, with only a few bags. Before I left I saw the old lady wink at me. As we walked out I slightly booty bumped him, I heard him giggle loudly as he did the same back to me. We put all of our bags in the trunk, got in the car, and did a donut in the parking lot. "was all that necessary?", we both exploded into laughter. Into the ride I pulled out the map and gave Jacob directions. The Motel wasn't too long away from here. I could hear the sound of the tires on the road, the purr of the car engine, there was a great breeze that cooled us from the hot rays of the sun as we drove. There were few other cars so I got to gaze about and see the beautiful palm trees that lined the roadway and admire some of the beautiful houses that lined the road. Mostly I was thinking about our destination and what would happen when we got there. 

Shortly we arrived at the Motel. We had parked behind the building, just incase someone had noticed their car that WE has stolen. Jacob got out the drivers seat then opened my door. "Madam" Jake said in a British accent. I  giggled then played along "why thank you". I titled my nose up, as he grabbed our bags and walked inside. I observed the place, it was actually high class for a motel. I would have expected this from a actual hotel. I slightly hid behind Jake, as he spoke to the lady. 

"a room for two?" he asked. The lady nodded her head, and began typing on her computer. She looked as if she was at the end of her twenties. "name please?".

He kind of stopped for a second then looked back at me. The lady stopped typing then looked back at us. I stepped in front of Jake, "Nicole Warner and Hernandez Cortez". She looked oddly at the both of us then continued typing. "okay... room 35, here's your key enjoy the stay" she said handing over the key to our room. As we walked away Jake let out a laugh loud enough for me to hear, "Hernandez Cortez? Really". I laughed along, "that was they best I could do!"

I slipped the card into the keys slot, opening the door. Olivia pushed threw and flopped down on the bed. I sat all the bags down and laid beside her. It was silent for a few minutes, a peaceful type silence. It actually wasn't awkward at all. "I should change, you know how sleeping in jeans lead to infections" she said sitting up tiredly. I chuckled lowly and sat up on the head board. She got up and began taking off her shirt, then suddenly stopped, "ahem....do you mind?" she said in a snobby tone. I shook my head, "really Olivia. .how long have we know each other??". She went into thought, "I don't know a long time".
