Chapter 2

Klaus POV

After arriving at the airport, we learn that the flights will be delayed, it can range from a few hours to several days after an ash cloud being high in the sky caused by the Calbuco volcano in Chile.

We then look for our flight. They will be late for at least four days because ash head to northern Brazil.

- " What do we do then ? " Caroline wonder.

- " I do not know, but we're not going to wait more than four days. "

- " So we look for a car to rent and we go to Manaus ? " she asks me.

- " Yeah, it's a good idea ... ! " I tell her.

- " What ? No but I was joking Klaus, we will not make the trip by car to there! "

- " Why not ? " I ask her directing me outside.

- " Because we do not even know where to go ! We did not have map, and we have nothing planned ! "

- " You wait if you want but me I go ! "

- " Seriously ? Okay but wait me ! " I hear her say behind me.

Caroline has decided to sit a little further and wait while I'll get the rental car.

- " I grieve sir, but you must reserve the car in advance. " said the guy.

- " I do not have the time ! Listen, I can pay if you want ! "

- " No booking, no car ! " shit, looking for some thing Klaus quickly.

- " Uh, my ... my wife and I have to go somewhere, it's really urgent, please ! " I tell him.

- " I'm sorry but I can not ..." I was going to continue when I saw that there was a rather large line behind me. Fuck.

Then I come back to Caroline.

- " Then you have the keys ? " she asks me.

- " No, the car must be reserved in advance. "

- " See, I knew it was a bad idea ! "

- " So you prefer to wait more than four days here without ever being able to go after ? " I asked annoyed.

I hear she sighs and looks at me.

- " Well, I have an idea. But I promise nothing and if it goes wrong, it's all your fault, okay ? " I then look at her curiously.

- " What's your idea ? "

- " Follow me. " she said before heading to the toilet.

When she appears a few minutes later, she have the complexion whiter than usual, she has dark circles she surely draw with a pencil and her clothes ... she have a garment roll into a ball that serves as a fake baby.

- " What's the idea ? "

- " We'll make believe at the guy I'm pregnant and that we really need to rent a car or I'll give birth here! " she said, smiling.

I admit it's a pretty good idea. A very good idea, but I doubt the guy will believe us.

- " And you think the guy is going to be stupid enough to believe us ? " I asked her septic.

- " Of course ! Anyway, I have other options if it doesnt work ! " she said before heading to the lessor. I then follows.

- " Sir, it would be possible to rent a car, I'm pregnant and I really have to go home ! "

- " Do you have a book ? "

- " No but- "

- " So I grieve but it's impossible. "

- " Imagine that I lost the bones ? And no one is with me and I gave birth here ? I could always blame you and the airport will have a bad reputation. Did you think about that ? "

- " No, but- " This time it's her who cuts the lessor in the sentence.

- " And suppose I give birth here on a seat, without medical help ! You can imagine how all this could cause problems for my baby ? "

- "Uh ...-"

- " Oh ! I have a contraction ! I need to sit down ! Please, help me ! "

- " Wait for me here, I arrive with a car ! Everything will be alright ! " he told before leaving.

- " Too easy ! " she said, turning to me with a big smile. I smiled in return. I can not believe she did that !

When the renter returns, we follow him at a place to rent cars call Avis Car Rental. They then helps us to put luggage in the trunk and I pay the car.

Once in the car, silence sets in, I decided to break the ice.

- " I not knew that you play as well ! I can not believe you did it ! " I told her impress.

- " But you should know that no, I'm a good liar ! That's what you got to tell you when I explain you for Enzo ! Oh but wait, you have not let me explain ! " she said, turning her head toward the window. I knew we'd have this kind of debating but I thought we would not have one now.

- " I'm sorry, I would not say that like that ... "

- " No without laughing ! "

- " Look I do not see what I can do right now ... "

- " Nothing. Just stop talking to me. "

- " Seriously Caroline, I'd would fix things-"

- " Forget immediately. I accept the trip for Rebekah, not for you. "

- " I- " but I have not time to talk because she mount the sound of the radio.

After two hours, we arrive at a place called Crown Fried Chicken to eat a little. We do not talk during the meal and it's almost like being strangers.

After eight hours, it's already twenty-one hours pm and we decided to stop at a hotel called Econo Lodge in Christiansburg.

We asked a room with two separate beds and we go sleep.

The next day I get up first and decides to take a shower. When I come back, I see that Caroline's wake up and already with her clothes in hand, she gets up and then goes into the bathroom.

When she returned, she was dressed in a denim shirt long sleeve cut shoulders, a simple black jeans and a pair of boots as it's cold enough outside.

We take the road after giving the keys. After nearly five hours, we stop at a station called BP in Chattanooga. We took the opportunity to eat a little. And even if we do not talk, I'm still happy to do this trip with her.
