I had been driving for twelve hours to say I was fucking exhausted would be the understatement of the year. We had made a pit stop at Target before we started our drive down to Florida grabbing some clothes and necessities as Nikki liked to put it. Not really sure how important a home waxing kit was when you were on the run but we got one anyway. We’d wax our enemies eyebrows off it came down to it.
I learned a few things about Nikki and myself as I drove. I did a mean impression of Bruno Mars. After hearing, Uptown Funk every fifteen minutes on the radio I had the words down pat I even googled Yves St. Laurent because I figured I should know what the hell I was singing about. While I was conditioning myself for a Grammy Nikki could barely hold a note. Luckily, the shrieking came to a stop after she discovered some game on her phone called Trivia Crack. She aced all the entertainment questions and I had the answer for any sports related question. However, we sucked at geography, science and all that other shit no one cares about like politics. Another thing I learned was that I started to twitch if I consumed too much coffee so half way through our trip I nixed the coffee refills whenever we stopped at a rest stop replacing one addiction with another and I was now on my third Red Bull.
I glanced over at Nikki who was sleeping in the passenger seat. Her head was against the window and her mouth was slightly agape as she snored. Yeah, she snored sounding like a damn foghorn. She had offered to drive, but I was too paranoid she had a heavy foot the last thing we needed was for highway cops to pull us over for speeding so I let her sleep. However, I couldn’t continue driving anymore, I didn’t know if it was because I was coming down from my caffeine high or if it was that I was just so tired but my vision was blurring. I didn’t want to pull over, but I didn’t want to crash either, so I got off at the next exit and drove around looking for a hotel.
I pulled into the parking lot of a Motel Six and hoped that they had a vacancy. I was weary to stop at all and had to refrain from calling Victor to see if it was okay. I knew that if we drove straight to Florida, that was the safest bet, but I physically couldn’t drive anymore. I just need a few hours to recharge my batteries telling myself that it would be fine as long as I left before sunrise. I took a breath glancing at Nikki before leaning over the console and opening the glove box taking out my gun. I tucked it safely into my pants and pulled my shirt down concealing it.
“Rise and shine Princess.” I said, placing my hand on her knee and giving her a slight shake to wake her from her slumber. She stirred slightly, her eyes fluttered open focusing on me. I must’ve really had it bad for her because seeing her wake up made me think it wouldn’t be such a bad way to start the day looking at her tousled hair her naturally pink lips pursed in confusion as she got her bearings. My dick started to react just as it always did around her I swear I needed to get that looked at or something.
“Where are we?” She said looking out the window.
“A motel we’re just going to crash for a couple of hours and then we will hit the road again.” I said as I stretched my arms over my head. I let out a long yawn before I met her gaze. “Are you ready?”
“For what?” She asked.
“To be my wife.” I said as I opened my door.
“You mean ‘James’ wife.” She said pausing a moment before she opened her own door.
We both climbed out of the car and turned to look at one another over the roof of the car. “It’s all the same isn’t it?” I asked her then walked around the front of the car to her side. I took her hand in mine and turned her around so she was face to face with me. “Look, all we’re doing is checking into this flea bag motel. The guy behind the desk is probably half baked anyway all we have to do is act like newlyweds.”
She raised an eyebrow lacing her fingers with mine as she did so. “Oh is that all?”
“Yes,” I said, flashing her a smile as I grabbed two of our bags from the trunk. I closed the door and took her hand again. “Really it’s quite simple Princess. All you have to do is find me irresistible shouldn’t be too much of a stretch for you.” I said, holding back a laugh as I led her to the main entrance of the dive motel.
“You are so full of yourself.” Nikki said as she rolled her eyes and began to walk ahead of me as exhausted as I was I couldn’t help watch her ass thinking I’d how much I’d like to give her something to be full of. She stopped at the glass door and I reached around her to pull the door open. A bell chimed alerting the phantom receptionist of our arrival. The place looked deserted aside from the ceiling fan and the distant sound of a television it was otherwise silent.
“Mikey let’s get out of here this place is giving me the creeps. I will drive.” She whispered, leaning in to me.
I noticed there was an alcove behind the desk so I leaned over the counter and called out hoping there was someone there to check us into a room.
“Hello? Anyone work here?”
“Nice to know we’re already acting like a married couple and you’re ignoring your wife.” Nikki said sarcastically. I chuckled as a big burly man waddled through the doorway.
