JT Forbes was so excited about his awesome plan. He also had prepared the plan carefully in last few days before it was final to make sure he had plenty of money for gas, motel, and food.

He had invited his best friend to go traveling all over the country with him on the road in the car.

JT with a black thick nerdy glasses and curly short hair and wore plaid unbuttoned shirt opening with scientific periodic table t-shirt inside and blue denim jeans. There was his best friend named Vincent Keller. He had buzz haircut with a trimmed goatee over his jawline. He had a great body and wears a white t-shirt that is a little tight showing his chest muscles with black jeans.

JT drove the car with Vincent on the road. He waved his arm around, his head bobbing as he happily sang a song. Vincent was asleep with his head on the pillow against the passenger window. He opened one eye to peek at JT and went back to sleep.

Flashback

After carefully putting together his plan, JT excitedly rubbed his hands together and then clapped his hands. He called Vincent, asking if he could come over to Vincent's place because he wanted to talk to him about something.

Vincent said ok just come over.

After few minutes, JT knocked on Vincent's door and Vincent answered the door. Vincent greeted him with a big smile and invited him in. They walked into the living room and took a seat on the couch.

JT had a huge smile on his face, making Vincent wonder what he is up to.

"JT...What are you up to? ... And why are you smiling?" Vincent asked.

JT grinned and sighed, "Well I've always wanted to do something adventure and fun. I have two words for you as he held two fingers up. ROAD TRIP! I want to invite my best friend to go with me. Would you go with me, please?"

"Road trip?!" Vincent asked, perplexing.

"YES, road trip! Come on, it'll be fun! We could be on the road and take turns in driving." JT responded excitedly.

Vincent's eyes widen and his eyebrow raised up as his mouth opened, "What?! Driving on the road? You must be crazy?! Me go with you on the road? Are you dead serious?!"

JT laughed at his reaction,"Why not?! Yeah I'm dead serious! It'll be fun. I'm so freaking excited!"

"Oh man...it's going to be long way to drive around and maybe it'll be boring. Just u and me?" Vincent said, rolling his eyes.

"Come on Vincent! Just explore around the America... just come on." JT smiled, nudging Vincent with his elbow.

Vincent shook his head and laughed, "Really! Give me a reason why you're doing that, oh...wait, you probably want to find a ransom women and get laid, right?" He bursted out laugh.

JT's jaw dropped as he quickly stood up and held his hands up, "Whoa, wha..what?!" he stammered surprisely.

Vincent laughed harder.

"Oh man, look at you...I'm just teasing you. You should see on your face. Your face is priceless. hahaha." Vincent laughed.

"Very funny! I'm not laughing, am I? Well? Are you coming with me or not?" JT scoffed as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"Well...I guess we can go." Vincent sighed, rolling his eyes.

JT opened his mouth wider and pulled Vincent up and hugged him excitedly. He pulled back, patted Vincent's arms and smiled, "Thanks, man! That'll be fun! So, we can get ready for the road tomorrow morning..maybe like at 7am. Get packed! And..don't forget to bring some money, ok?"

"Okay I'd better get started and see you in the morning." Vincent grinned.

The next morning, JT came to Vincent's and they put Vincent's bags in the trunk. Then Vincent made coffee for both of them. Vincent gave JT a cup of coffee and then they got into the car and drove away.

Present

JT shifted uncomfortably in his seat and looked at Vincent sleeping and then back at the road. He saw a sign informing that there is a diner a mile ahead. He drove for a mile and saw the diner.

He pulled into the parking lot and parked the car. JT shook Vincent's arm to wake up. Vincent slowly blinked his eyes and rubbed his eyes with his palms. He looked around and back at JT.

"We're here at a diner...Let's eat. Then after that, you drive, ok?" JT said.

"Ok." Vincent nodded.

They got out of the car and walked into a diner. They took the booth and grabbed the menu. A waitress walked over to their booth.

A waitress said, "My name is Tori. What can I get you guys?" She practically flirted Vincent with her eyelashes fluttering and smiled.

"Hi, I'd like some pancakes with bacon on the side and some scrambled eggs..and orange juice, please." Vincent said.

Tori wrote it down and smiled at him then looked at JT.

"I'd like two eggs with hash brown and toast..oh and a glass of milk, please." JT said.

Tori wrote it down, and told them that she will be back with their order.

JT snickered when he looked at Vincent, "She likes you!"

Vincent rolled his eyes and sighed then shook his head, "Nah she doesn't and she's not my type."

"Oh please..I saw the way she looked at you. How is not she your type? I mean she's beautiful...not to mention she's sexy." JT sighed.

"I know, she is beautiful, but I'm not ready for a relationship since I've broke up with Alex." Vincent said.

JT was about to say, but Tori came back with food. She placed plates in front of them. She said enjoy your lunch. Then she left.

"Thanks...now back to Alex..it has been a year. I think you should move on. You need a new girlfriend." JT said, encouraging him.

"Yeah I know, but I'm just not ready right now. End of story, period." Vincent sighed.

JT threw his hands up in the air, "Alright, let's eat."

They ate their food and they chatted and laughed about their time in their lives. Then they were stuffed. Tori came back with a check to place on the table. She left but turned around to face Vincent.

"Honey, can I have your phone number? We could maybe get together and hang out." Tori asked, smiling as she gazed into his eyes.

"Um, I don't think so...not interested, sorry, Tori." Vincent said deadpanned, not looking at her.

Tori's mouth opened and her heart dropped.

"You jerk!" She angrily told him as she stormed off to the counter causing heads to turn in her direction.

JT's eyes widen and his jaw dropped.

"What do you think you're doing, big guy?! I think you just hurt her feelings, and you'd better apologize to her before we leave."

Vincent shrugged and rolled his eyes.

"Alright, I'm going to apologize her, but like I said, I'm not interested in another relationship. Since we're on the road, how can we get together? What's the point? It's just supposed to be me and you, right, JT?"

"Oh that makes sense, but still...you never know what's ahead out there on the road. Maybe you could find some girl out there. Who knows?" JT retorted.

"JT! You never listen!" Vincent said as he got up from the booth and walked over to Tori.

JT left the diner and walked to the car, got in the car and waited for Vincent.

Tori was at the cash register giving changes to a customer as Vincent approached. When the customer left, Vincent moved up and stood in front of her across the counter.

"Tori, I'm sorry I was rude to you. I was going to say I'm not ready to have a girlfriend because I've just broke up with my girlfriend, and my friend and I are on the road, it's just us. Again, I'm sorry, ok?" Vincent said.

"That's okay, I understand. I'm sorry I called you jerk. what's your name, by the way?" Tori said.

"Vincent..take care of yourself." Vincent replied as he left.

Vincent got into the car and started the car and got back on the road. Vincent enjoyed looking at the landscape as it passed by. It was raining. JT was drifting in and out of sleep, his head bobbing until finally the sleep overtook him. He started snoring with his mouth hanging open slightly.

Vincent glanced over at JT and snickered. He raised his hand and pinched JT's nose close with his finger to see if he could breathe through his mouth. JT struggled to breathe, snapping his eyes open as he squirmed around with his arms wiggling. Vincent let go of JT's nose and JT took in a deep breath.

JT looked at Vincent snickering. He frowned and folded his arms across his chest. "That's not FUNNY!"

Vincent laughed as he kept his eyes on the road. "It is, look at you, snoring and drooling, what were you dreaming about? Was it steamy? Oh and was it Tori?" Vincent teased.

Realizing that he had been drooling in sleep, JT wiped it from his chin and pushed his glasses up on his nose.

He palmed his hand on his forehead then rubbed it.

"No no no it was not! I did not dream about her! I hardly know her...just leave me alone..look at me, am I laughing? Ha-ha-ha!" he exclaimed.

"JT, I was just joking with you. Chill, geez. Let's find a motel for the night. We've been driving for eight hours. And we need to find something to eat for dinner, alright." Vincent grinned with a devilish smile.

JT rolled his eyes at him, "Thanks a lot! Look! a motel..lets stop there."

Vincent pulled in at the motel and parked the car. They got out of the car and JT stretched his legs and arms while Vincent entered into the office and tapped a bell with his finger to ring. The manager came to the office.

"Hi, How can I help you?" the manager asked politely.

"Yeah, I'd like a room with two beds for the night, please." Vincent responded.

"Ok, let me pop up on computer, there u go ..a room with two beds for the night for $40 dollars." the manager said.

Vincent paid the bill and the manager handed him a key.

"Your room number is 110. On your left when you go out the door," The manager said.

Vincent then asked if there was any place to eat nearby.

The manager informed that there were a diner and fast food restaurants about two miles down the road and that there is a 7-11 just around the corner.

"Thanks so much!" Vincent smiled, and left the office. He went back to the car where JT was waiting. They took their bags and brought them to their room. They placed their bags on the floor. JT jumped and plopped on one of the beds and sighed.

"I'm going to the store to find something to eat," Vincent said as he headed to the door.

Vincent walked to the store. He looked around in every aisle to find something to eat. He just grabbed some food that didn't require cooking since there is no stove at the motel. He saw Gummy Worms on the shelf and reached for it not seeing a woman near him reaching for it at the same time. Both grabbed the Gummy Worms at the same time and their hands touched. They looked at each other then looked at their hands and they withdrew their hands.

"Oh sorry, go ahead." Vincent said politely.

A husky voice made her heart beat faster.

"Oh no you go ahead." A woman smiled.

Vincent grabbed it and gave it to her, "You can have it."

"Are u sure? There's one left."

"Yes I'm sure." Vincent nodded.

"Thank you."

She left and went around to another aisle. She grabbed whatever she needed and then went over to the cash register.

When Vincent was done shopping, he went to the cashier and stood behind the woman in the lane. A woman was frantically searching for her wallet in her purse while Vincent glanced over her shoulder.

"Are you alright?" Vincent asked with a concern face.

She realized that it was the same guy with a husky voice and turned around to face him.

"Oh no I'm so embarrassed...I think my wallet fell out of the purse in the car or in a motel."

Vincent smiled at her, "I can pay for it and u can pay me back, so the customers wouldn't have to wait in the lane longer."

A woman looked back to the customers then to him, "Ok I'm gonna pay you back as soon as I find my wallet. Thanks."

Vincent paid for her items and his items. They walked to her car.

She opened the car door and searched for her wallet. She found it on the floor of the car and held it up and waved in front of him.

"How much do I owe you, Mister?" A woman asked with a smile.

Vincent looked at her and smiled, "You know what? You don't have to owe me anything...and my name is Vincent Keller."

A woman furrowed her eyebrows, "Please let me pay you back...by the way, my name is Catherine Chandler."

"Catherine..no I dont want your money, ok?" Vincent grinned.

"Are you sure?" Catherine questioned.

Vincent nodded.

Vincent watched her get in her car and then tapped on her window as she raised her head up and saw him. She rolled her window down.

"Yeah?"

"Are you just visiting or living here?" Vincent asked curiously.

"Oh just traveling around and I'm staying at the motel for the night with my best friend. I just went to the store to grab some food." Catherine answered.

"Ah I see..same here, so want to grab breakfast tmw morning? Can I have your phone number, in case I want to contact you?" Vincent said.

"Well, I don't know you, so I can't give you my number out, but meet me at a diner there like maybe 8am, alright?" Catherine smiled.

Vincent nodded, "I totally understand and I'll meet you there at 8am."

Catherine rolled up the window and waved then drove away as he watched her go.

Vincent walked over to the motel and inserted the key and opened the door. JT was sitting on the edge of the bed, waiting impatiently.

"Where have you been? It has been an hour since you went to the store. What happened?" JT asked, worrying.

Vincent tossed the bags onto the bed next to JT. He picked up the bag and searched it to see what Vincent had gotten.

"I just helped a woman at the store." Vincent replied smiling.

JT looked up from the bag at Vincent and his eyes furrowed, "Huh? what woman?"

"I just met her and her name is Catherine." Vincent said with a huge smile.

Vincent laid down on other bed with his hands behind his head and sighed.

"And we will meet her for breakfast at a diner at 8am tmw morning." Vincent added, grinning.

JT's eyes widen as he looked at him, "Really?! Like I told you we could find some woman here, but thought you were not ready. I'm confused."

"I know what I said, but she's different. I'd like to get to know her. And she's traveling with her best friend, just like us. Is it the fate? and there was a pull that I felt..what was that?" Vincent said, wondering.

"Oh I guess. What pull?! I don't understand what that does mean, but...then we will meet her up tmw. Anyway, I'm getting hungry as he got something out of the bag on the bed and sat back on the headboard of the bed and ate some chips and drank a bottle of water.

"Want something to eat or drink, Vincent?" JT asked.

"No Thanks...I'm just getting tired, so good night." Vincent yawned.

JT nodded, "Good night, big guy!"

Vincent closed his eyes, thinking about what I'm gonna say to Catherine. He thought to himself, "I can't wait until tomorrow morning..I wonder if she's the one for me. She's so beautiful. She's brunette with her beautiful hazel eyes and cute dimples when she smiles. She's a perfect frame." He drifted off to sleep.
