It is currently two in the morning, and neither of us can drive for another secind. This trip is taking longer than expected, and it's annoying. So I pull off into a motel parking lot, and get a room.

"Hi, I need a room please," I say to the receptionist.

"How many beds?" she says, crankily.

"Two," I say, smiling. I hate grumpy people, but I won't be mean back just to be mean. She types away on her computer for a second. "We don't have any rooms left with two beds. We have one with a full bed but that's about it at this hour." Crap, this is all we have, and there is nothing within our budget for miles.

"We'll take it." I guess that someone is sleeping on the floor tonight. Oh, well. Andy can deal with it. He hasn't been driving all day. I walk out to the car and wake Andy up.

"We got a room, let's go sleepyhead," I say, shaking him awake. He grumbles some obseneties, but gets up and grabs his bag. We make the long treck up to the room and I realize just how sketchy this place is. It's got one streetlamp that illuminates the parking lot, and sort of resembles a dark alley scene from a horror film. We walk swiftly, and stop in front of room A3. Unlocking the door with my keycard, we walk inside and prepare for bed. Andy is a little more awake by now and a little less cranky. He lets me have the first shower, and hops in once I'm done and out.

"Hey, Andy?"

"Yeah?"

"What are we going to do about the sleeping situation?" I ask, kind of awkwardly. I mean, I've never had to ask him, or any guy, what sleeping arrangements we are going to be having.

"Well, there's only one..."

"No dip, Sherlock. Who's sleeping in it?"

"Well, I don't want the floor, and I'm assuming neither do you. So we have two options, one, we both sleep in the bed or two you sleep on the floor." I can almost heasr him smiling like an idiot. He knows that it makes me uncomfortable, but I despise the floor. Andy comes out of the bathroom in his pajamas and tosses his towel on the floor.
"So I take it you're on the floor tonight?" He snirks at me and I scowl back at him. I grab the huge, floral comforter and fold it enough times that my back won't be too screwed up tomorrow. He's so difficult.
"I hate you, you know that right?"
"Of course. It wouldn't be a complete day if Kayla Green didn't say she hates my guts," he chuckles and gets comfortable. "You know there's room for two," he says, wiggling his eyebrows. I throw a pillow at his face and he catches it.
"Hey! That's so not fair," I whine.
"Haha! Night, Kayyyla," he says, dragging ouy my name.
"Night, Andy."

I wake up and look around, groggily. The floor is a lot more comfortable than it was when I went to sleep. I sit up, and realize, I am no longer on the floor. I see that Andy's arms are wrapped around my small frame, he is lying asleep next to me looking adorable as ever. As much as I love him, in a best-friend sort of way, I almost scream. This did not happen. I don't care at that moment that I've known him for a long time. It's just too weird. I shoot out from under the cover and pull on my old sneakers and headphones to go for a run. Heading out the door, and down the street, I let the music from my most recent playlist consume my brain for the rest of the ten miles that I planned on doing. The scenery in Cheyenne is insanely beautiful. There are cottonwoods all around as I run through the streets, and the sunrise is turning the sky a pinkish orange color. The air is brisk, and I wish I would've brought something more than a thin hoodie, but I didn't think it'd be this cold. I get to thinking about how long we have to drive, we still have to cross six sates, and then once we get there, I'm keeping my car, and ANdy is catching a flight back to Cali, which I wish we could've done this time. It's awesome to drive, and see al of these places, but we can't exactly stop and go sight-seeing. We have five days until we have to be there for orientation, and it's going to take us four to get out there. Not to mention, any stops we have to make along the way. I come up to the door of our motel, and walk inside.

"Hey, how was your run?" Andy asks, picking at the food he got, "I got you your favorite. COffee, with three sugars and one cream. Added a pump of caramel syrup, just because I can," he says, smiling. I grab the cup and tale a sip. Delicious.

"Thanks, Andy. You're the best!"

"And don't you forget it."

"So when I woke up, I wasn't on the floor, I was up one the bed. Any idea how that happened?" I ask, suspicious of him. I hope he had nothing to do with it, and I just sleep-walked again. I do that sometimes.

"You got up in the middle of the night, and said you were uncomfortable. SO you pushed me over and layed down. I thought you were awake, so I didn't say anything," he says, ooking confused. Oddly enough, he looks sort of disappointed too.

"I must have been sleep walking again," I say, going to the bathroom ,and shutting the door so I could get in the shower. I turned on my music, and hopped in. My favorite song in the world, Somewhere in Neverland by All Time Low,came on, and I started belting out the words. Suddenly I hear laughter coming through the door. Andy is recording me!!
"Andrew Dean I will kick your butt if you don't delete that!!" I scream, turning off the water and drying off. Once I'm done, I pull on my clothes and run out of the bathroom. "Give me it!! I'm not ine of your subjects of embarrassment for your stupid youtube videos, delete it now!"
"Nope! Call it stupid again and I'll photoshop it onto the dancing video," he smiles at me evily.
"Wait what dancing video?"
"Crap. Nothing, but seriously take it back," he says.

"Fine. Your videos aren't stupid, now delete the video!"

"Fine, fine. I will." He pulls up the footage, and hits the delete button, "There, it's gone forever."

"Thank you," I say, smiling and going back into the abthroom. I plug in my straightener and put on my makeup while it heats up. Once I'm done, I straighten my hair, pack up, and wait for Andy to get done in the shower. It's going to be an interesting day.
