Change of Law and Heart

Chapter 17: Duty

A cold, wet nose pressed against my leg and woke me up from my lovely sleep. I immediately noticed the warm body to my left and a limp arm lazily resting on my back. "Hey, leave her alone. You're going to wake her," a voice that I recognized as Sunstreaker muttered to someone. I snapped open my eyes and reeled back from Sunstreaker's warm body.

My cheeks burned with embarrassment and I stood up from the couch to get away from him. "I am so so sorry!" I apologized and covered my face with my hands. Both of my dogs ran up to me excitedly, obviously to what was happening. I push them away and started to walk away to get ready for work.

"Aubrey," he called out and sounded like he was getting off the couch. I stopped in my tracks but didn't face him, too afraid of him pointing out that I was literally using him as pillow. Sunstreaker stood in front of me yet didn't touch me, most likely to the fact he doesn't like human interaction. "Make sure to call your brother."

With that said, his holoform disappeared in front of me which scared me. I released a big sigh before heading up stairs to my room. Kodiak and Vivian followed me, happily without a care to the world. I get dressed quickly in my uniform and headed down stairs for a hopefully boring day; rather have an uneventful day then a chaotic.

"My god! I slept with my arms around him. Why didn't he tell me to fuck off or get away? He seems like one to do that," I mumbled to myself before putting the dogs in their kennels and entering the garage.

Both of the beautiful Lambos sat there silently and unmoving, until Sides started his engine suddenly. This almost scared the shit out of me and caused me to grab at my gun. "You motherfucker! You are so lucky I didn't shoot your pretty little hood."

Sides's holoform appeared next to his alt. mode and was laughing his butt off. "You should have seen your face!" he cackled and attempted to calm down his laughter. I glared deeply at him and crossed my arms over my chest.

"Shut it," I growled, not too pleased about him scaring me and slammed my fist on the garage opener. The garage noisily rolled up so both of the super cars could exit. "Get out now." His demeanor changed by him stops laughing and gave me a look of betrayal.

"But-but why?" he cried and rushed over to me.

"I don't know... because you scared me! Now get, your brother can stay but you get to leave," I sarcastically said and headed towards my work truck. Whichever dog woke me up was in time, gladly.

He followed me to my truck while gripping on to my arm. "I'm sorry, please don't kick me out," Sides begged. I put on a thinking face on as if I was giving it a thought before telling him 'no' and hopping into my truck.

Right as I was about to start up my truck and leave for work, my phone begun to ring. The caller ID read Sarah as I picked it up and a small amount of worry bubbled in my stomach. "Yellow?" I answered my phone and waited for a response.

"Hey, Brey. I have a small favor to ask of you," Sarah responded. I started up my truck and put on my seatbelt for safety.

"Ask away."

"Could you take Anna to school today? Most of the bots are busy and I don't trust any of the twins," she questioned.

"Yeah, I'll start heading your way. You're lucky I was about to head to work," I accepted and began my way towards the Lennox's house. "Wait, what about your car?" Almost forgot she had that thing.

"Oh, thank you so much! Dead battery, and Wheeljack took the jumper cables and never gave it back," she answered. Well that's a bit mean, never giving back something that's not yours. I pulled up next to her car and honked, notifying her I was here. The honk echoed between the phones, making both of hang up.
