"How are we going to get out of this town?" Sleep filled Maple's voice. Her head lay in Staton's lap; slowly his fingers laced every red strand cascading down his thigh. A shallow sigh and a couple breaths later she sat up sitting on his lap leaning her head on his shoulder. Wrapping his arms around her. Cuddling into him the three girls two guys watched the sky. Night slowly turning in to day. Stars fading drifting back into their sleep. "I'm freezing my ass off." Aria snapped leaning against the cab of the GMC truck talking to no one specifically. "Well here's how, we get in the 80, we stop at a gas station and give her a full gulp; buy some chips and we just drive until she runs out," Julia remarked turning to look at Breygan. Breygan threw a wink in her direction. There was a slight rattle from his keys since he spun them around his finger. "Well, what the hell are we waiting for?" Breygan chuckled before hopping up and heading for the driver's seat. "Are we really doing this?" "Damn live a little, hell yeah we are!" Staton yelped before pushing Maple from his lap and running for the truck. Cover Credit to @stella_vigo
