It all happened so fast.....

[xox_Gelert_xox]

Peter shrugged at the idea. She could take directions down but what was the fun in that? He was pretty sure all they needed to do was hit one or two highways and just stay on them at they headed in the northernish direction. Then to get home, just find a map and follow the road.
"The roads might be a little different comming back." He explained with a slight nod. "You take different exits on the different sides of the roads but you can try if you want."

As she commented about liking "the large bodies of certain cowboys" he suppressed laughter, as a knowing grin slipped onto his lips. Keeping his voice relatively normal, Peter glanced towards her and spoke. "That's good because this certain large bodied cowboy connects excellently with a small bodied Asian." If somebody was to throw in "That's what she said" joke, the timing would be priceless....
Yes. Baaadd.... Buttttt that was beside the point.

He laughed softly, as the truck advanced onto the highway, leaving the small town behind them. Moving his hand towards her, he let his fingers grace along her arm until he found her hand and intertwining their fingers.

[KayaWolfGirl]

"That is true," and it would be a while before they made it to the nearest highway. Kaia smiled up at him and she licked gently at her lips. The young woman thought a moment. Well, they knew where they were and they could always use the map later. that sounded like what they'd do.

When he smiled she looked up at him and she laughed at him. Her shoulders heaved up and down and the girl piped, "Oh really?" He was terrible. They were really terrible!

Her fingers wrapped around his hand and she sighed. Shoulders heaved up and down as she sighed happily.

[xox_Gelert_xox]

He could not contain from laughing then, grinning broadly as he was unsure how to respond. Keeping a straight face was already out of the question, so after a few minutes he grew relatively quiet. The grin almost seemed plastered on his face as he took a deep breath and glanced at her. No words came to thought, leaving him to nod his head.

"Really, really." He managed to mumbled with the grin still on his face.
Yes. They were horrible and he had no quick witted response to respond back with.

Relaxing back into the seat, his eyes glanced momentarily down at their intertwined hands before watching the road once more. The flow of traffic took on a steady pace, keeping them at a good rate to... To... To... To the mountains.
Colorado, Nevada, Montana and such... Whatever states that had mountains.


((Okay, I do not really have a plot or twist right now. We could skip ahead to wherever they eventually end up. Or maybe skip further along into road trip, maybe at a small town or something for the night... Dunno. The choice is up to you.))

[KayaWolfGirl]

Kaya loved being asleep.

When she was asleep she didn't have to think about where she was, what was going on, or why she was in the situation she was in. When she was asleep and dreaming she was safe and she wouldn't have to face the world. When she was asleep she could feel free and happy.

Slender legs were brought up against her chest and one of her arms pillowed her head, her other hand was near her mouth her thumb close to her lips. Her chair was reclined. She moved lazily along her side and she slept dreaming sweet dreams.

Kaia yawned and she rubbed at her eyes. Looking around. Kaia thought she had been awake. "Oh?" she asked. "how long have I been asleep?" She rubbed at her eyes to see that they were stopped. Kaia chewed on her lower lip and she shook her head.

"Where are we?" she asked. "how far are we? How long have I been asleep?" It was getting dark. Her stomach growled. "H-Hey, you wanna get something to eat?" Sleepily, she eyed the road signs.

[xox_Gelert_xox]

I like the feel of your name on my lips
And I like the sound of your sweet gentle kiss
The way that your fingers run through my hair
And how your scent lingers even when your not there

And I like the way your eyes dance when you laugh
And how you enjoy your two hour bath
And how you convinced me to dance in the rain
With everyone watching like we were insane

Peter's voice carried the southern drawl of the song, his eyes resting on the road. He had not looked at the map once, going off instinct and the signs that informed them that they were going north.

But I love the way you love me
Strong and wild
Slow and easy
Heart and soul
So completely
I love the way you love me

I like to imitate old Jerry Lee
And watch you roll your eyes when I'm slightly off key
And I like the innocent way that you cry
At sappy old movies you've seen hundreds of times

Traffic had dwindled down, leaving the road empty with the exception of several cars. It was one of those small less-used highways, taking the driver through small unheard of towns; towns of populations near only five or six thousand.
The perk of the smaller highway was the sceneary. It was untouched and untampered with by trash and pollution.

But I love the way you love me
Strong and wild
Slow and easy
Heart and soul
So completely
I love the way you love me

And I could list a million things
I love to like about you
But they all come down to one reason
I could never live without you

Hearing Kaia stir, Peter turned the radio down slightly, looking over at her with a nod. "Um, four or five hours I assume." He shrugged as his eyes glanced at the clock.
They had been driving for about seven hours, Peter stopping on occasion to either get himself a drink or as a break to stretch his legs. A few times he stopped to wake himself up, the road putting him into a trance-like state.

"Not quite sure where we are. Either in New Mexico or Colorado is my guess. Maybe even Oklahoma." He shrugged before nodding. "Food sounds good, actually." A yawn escaped him as he eyed the signs aswell.
Taking an exit off the highway, they came into a decent sized town, one of the larger ones that they have stumbled upon.
"Where do you want to eat?" He asked, his own eyes searching for a place that offers food. "Like, do you want fast food, or a resturant or... Dunno. What do you want?"

I love the way you love me
Strong and wild
Slow and easy
Heart and soul
So completely
I love the way you love me
Oh baby I love the way you love me

[KayaWolfGirl]

Kaia rubbed the sleep from her eyes in her lazy cat like manner. Yawning, the young woman sighed as she leaned back in the chair and watched the road pass by her. For a while, it seemed almost like the scene came out of an old movie. The handsome cowboy singing in his truck as he drove down a seemingly endless highway as the sun continued to move across the sky.

Five hours?

"You know what the sad part is?" she asked softly of him. "I'll be asleep again a few more hours." Her nose crinkled and the young woman brushed back at her bangs with her slender fingers. The young woman rubbed at her eyes with a tiny fisted hand.

It must have been boring for him. Even worse with her being so close, "I'm sorry." She shook her head and then undid her hair as she shook it out. Her hair was wavy and she brushed her fingers through it. The half Asian stared up at him and she pulled her legs up as she crossed them to stare up at the curly haired man.

Her lips curled up into a smile, "I uh...How about a sit down joint?" A sit down joint, in Kaia language that meant--some place nice where there wasn't anyone that would want to punch out her husband. "Does that sound okay?"

[xox_Gelert_xox]

"That sounds great."

Peter grinned slightly at her wording, understanding the meaning but still found it quite entertaining. His eyes skimmed the street as he pulled off the highway onto an exit, slowing down in speed as they entered the town.

"I think I can drive for another good five hours.... Maybe not so much after a meal, but I can still put us several more hours on the road." He explained slightly, nodding his head.

It was a small town, but several food places had made themselves avaliable. Denny's, Whataburger, Dairy Queen and several family owned diners were scattered about.

"Um, how about Denny's?" He suggested the resturant with slight shrug. In most towns it was a decent place to eat with a relaxed enviroment.

[KayaWolfGirl]

She was terrible car company.

At least if Willow was...She stopped and the young woman bit her lower lip. Wait a second. No. She couldn't think about Willow. No dad, no grandpa, no Willow, no ornery horses. No nothing to bring them down. They'd be on cloud nine for this trip wether they liked it or not!

There was nothing to worry about, no cell phones or anything like that.

Yes. That was right. The young woman stretched out with a yawn as her eyes closed as she sighed qiuetly. "I like Denny's," she chirped with a nod. "Let's go there." Denny's was always good with her.

Kaia stared up at him with her almond eyes.

[xox_Gelert_xox]

That's right. No thoughts of Willow. No thoughts of Horizon Stables. Or evil grandmothers. Idiotic brothers. Whoreish sisters. Murderous fathers....

No. Just him and Kaia. Just like they thought out. Just like they had planned. He had his phone but it was turned off and in the glove box of the truck. The cowboy was not even going to risk having it on him, just incase it seemingly turned itself on and started disrupting their getaway.

"Good, good." He nodded, moving lanes over before before turning the large truck into the parking lot.

Easing up slowly into a vacant spot, he shifted the gears and put the truck into park. It hummed for a few seconds more before he cranked it off, adjusting several items before opening the door.

Stepping out, he closed it behind him as he waited for his wife before walking into the building with her.

[KayaWolfGirl]

Kaia stared up at him with a tiny smile. She brushed back at his hair and the young woman nodded and she unbuckled. He was so good. He was much too good for her, he was just so...Her eyes closed half way, she didn't know how to explain it, he was just awesome. That was all she could think of. He was awesome. No one else in the world was like her Peter absolutely no one...Peter. That was all she had to think of. She just had to think about him.

"Yeah, it is good," the young woman unlocked the door and she slipped out of the car. Kaia rushed to the other side and she stared up at him and wrapped her arms around his arm. She was proud and happy to be on his arm. She couldn't believe that he was so amazing.

"Let's go," she started to walk towards Denny's.

[xox_Gelert_xox]

He planted a kiss upon her head right before they entered the door, holding it open as she entered. They were quickly greeted by a young woman, holding the menus. Peter explained a table for two before they were led away into a moderately busy room.
People were scattered at various tables, comfortably placed as the door greeter placed them at a booth against the far wall before taking drink orders. She returned moments later and set the drinks in front of them.

The waitress eyed the young couple with a toothy grin, holding a small notepad and pen in her hand.
"So, what can I get you two tonight?"

Peter eyed the menu before looking up at her.
"How about the fried chicken steak with corn." He nodded, closing the menu and pushing it towards the woman. She nodded as she scribbled the order down before looking towards Kaia.
"And you m'am?"

[KayaWolfGirl]

The young woman looked up at him and she leaned into his arm and her tiny hand clutched tightly onto him. He was so amazing. Sighing, Kaia looked up at her husband, husband, and she looked around. It looked nice enough, which was why she liked Denny's. It was good no matter where they were. She yawned as she tried to wake up fully. Stretching one arm she licked her lips.

"I'd like pancakes," she chirped happily. "I want pancakes with bacon burnt to a crisp and sunny side up eggs. Please I'd like that so much." The tiny girl looked down at her menu and she pushed it towards the other girl. Kaia chewed on her lower lip happily.

[xox_Gelert_xox]

"Chicken Fried steak and pancakes." She smiled warmly, repeating the orders as she finished writing them down. "It will be out shortly." The waitress nodded before walking off to the back of the building, entering the kitchen.

Peter grinned softly, his eyes sliding to Kaia.
They actually made it. They escaped without being held back. They were free.
He tilted his head slightly to look at her in a different angle.

"We made it. We are making it." He spoke with a grin, eyes watching her. "Oh, have you ever been four-wheeling before?"

The question was kinda random, but since he had hours to think upon stuff that they could do, four-wheeling came to mind. It had been several years since he had been but it was something that he remembered enjoying when he was younger.

[KayaWolfGirl]

The waitress left in a normal waitress type way and then they were left alone. Sure, there were other people around there. There were other people there and they were dotted thought the tables but the two were left alone in Denny's as they sat on their own little island. It was a little sanctuary just for the two of them. It was perfect just for them.

There was no one there.

No one there to stop them. No dad. No Willow. No Migual. No one. No crazy people. They were crazy but no other crazy people. That was what mattered to her. No crazy people at all. No miscarriages, no lost children, no horses off cliffs, no guns, no violence, no anything that they were used to. It was so strange that was so normal for them. The young woman knew that it was strange to realize that it was normal.

"I know," she reached out to her cowboy and took his large hand within her tiny one before she brought his fingers to her lips and kissed them. Kaia smiled he was just like a little kid. "No I haven't," she shook her head. "sounds good to me though if we get to do it. Peter's strong arms around her as he taught her how to rev up the engine and go over rocks and such.

Yes, she liked that idea.

[xox_Gelert_xox]

They were free. No one knew them there. No one knew where they were going. In fact, they do not even know where they are going, making their whereabouts even more elusive.

It was a sad thought, the only thing that they were use to was constant chaos. Shootings. Death. Enraged family members. Defiant sisters. Ornery horses. But that was going to change, for a few days. Normalcy, if that is even a word, will come into their lives for possibly a brief second. Or perhaps it was not normal for their lives to be normal....
Either way, this trip, this excursion, was going to give them a break from the world around them and let them enjoy each others presence.

Peter forced any thoughts from his mind. No stable. No Willow. No Migual or family. No stress. No nothing, except one thing. Kaia.
She filled his mind.
His senses.
His touch.
His smell.
She was his and he was hers. Like a happy ending to a dramatic movie.

He loved her so.
And she loved him.

Peter leaned foreward on the table, letting his other hand cup her hand, the one that held his own. Pulling gently on it, he brought her hand to his lips aswell and gently kissed her fingers. For several seconds, he merely held the hand close to his face, close to his lips while his eyes remained on her.

"I'll look into it. Four-wheeling will be a nice change from horses for once." He grinned lopsidedly.
