Thanks to GeekyChic12 for keeping me between the lines. ;)
"You're serious?"
She nodded.
"You're crazy."
She shrugged as much as she could lying on the yellow center stripes of the old highway. "It's not crazy. It's fun. My picture is going to be hidden on the internet, where anyone might see, but no one would ever think to look."
"There are easier ways to get your picture on the internet, Bella. Let's go back to my house; you can be on youtube in thirty minutes."
She sat up on her elbows and quirked her eyebrow. "Thirty minutes? Seems overly generous. You must be planning to do some major editing."
"Want to set a timer?"
"I'm not making a sex tape with you, Edward." She lay back, folding her hands behind her head.
"You're going to get run over."
"No I won't. This road is practically deserted."
"Then what makes you think it's going to come down here?"
"They have to do them all. It's like a rule or something."
"How do you know they haven't already?"
She shrugged again. "Don't know. Just have a feeling."
"A feeling?" He huffed, alternating between looking down the long road and his girlfriend lying peacefully on the asphalt at his feet.
"You can go home. You don't have to wait."
"Are you serious? You're lying there in this little tiny dress in the middle of the road with your eyes closed!"
"If I changed into jeans, you'd stop your kvetching?"
"No," he admitted. "You're going to get run OVER! At least sit up and open your eyes."
"I'll feel the vibrations of it coming before it gets close enough to hit me."
He thought of picking her up, tossing her over his shoulder and throwing her in the car, but the only thing that rivaled Bella's stubbornness was her temper. He did not want to deal with weeks of her wrath. He let out a deep breath and sat cross-legged above her head. At least cars would be able to see them better with him sitting upright.
Bella reached for him, tugging on the denim at his knees. He sighed and scooted forward so she could rest her head on his folded legs.
He sat there, watching her lay, perfectly content, waiting for the car that may never come until his legs started to fall asleep.
He carefully extricated himself, folding her hands under her head. She smiled up at him. "I wasn't asleep, you know."
"Funny girl," he chuckled, bending down for a quick peck.
Standing to stretch his legs, he paced back and forth to get the blood flowing again, scanning both directions of the old highway. In the distance, he saw the distinctive car they were waiting for.
"It's coming, it's coming!"
She giggled at his excitement.
"I have a better idea." He pulled her to her feet.
Looking over his shoulder for it's approach, he planted an old fashioned movie style kiss on her.
She kicked her heel up just as the Google Maps Street View car passed.
Thanks for reading! I'm not going to lie, I love reviews. Pretty please?
