Singing Along With The Radio
Taylor glanced at the passenger seat and smiled at the sight. Eric was leaning against the window with his eyes closed. They were currently on the highway driving back to Silver Hills. Alan had send him to a business meeting in LA on Friday and had offered the use of his private jet. But instead Eric had invited her along to make a weekend out of it.
In all honesty, Taylor had been surprised by the offer. Between her former ranger duties and now both of their crazy schedules, they'd only managed to go on four successful dates. Being not one to back down from a challenge however, Taylor had accepted the invitation. And it had been a fun weekend. She spend Friday on the beach at Santa Monica, where Eric had joined her after the meeting and then they'd spend the weekend visiting the La Brea Tar pits, strolling down Hollywood Boulevard, took a tour around the Paramount studios and took a peek through the telescope at the Griffith Observatory.
Taylor sniggered at the memory of Eric whispering in her ear that the moon looked peaceful that night.
Eric shifted a little and Taylor's smile widened. This weekend was far from reassurance they would make this relationship work in the long run. But it had proven to her they could spend more than a few random hours together without arguing and that her relax a little.
Plus, Eric had proved himself the perfect gentleman. Even though their hotel room only held one double bed, he hadn't tried anything until she asked if he planned to spend the whole weekend sleeping with his hands above the covers.
Taylor reached out and turned on the radio to fill the silence in the car. Eric didn't even react and she snorted at the fact he'd fallen asleep. Though she could view it as a compliment, seeing as she was driving his truck.
As she drove along, Taylor started humming along with the music. When Shakira came on she started singing along with Underneath Your Clothes. The last notes faded away into the next song and Taylor was grinning.
'Really now?' Eric's voice sounded and Taylor jumped.
'How long have you been awake?' she demanded.
'I never went to sleep,' Eric smirked. He laughed when Taylor turned beet red. 'He was a sk8ter boy, she said see you later boy,' he belted along with the new song.
Now it was Taylor's turn to laugh as Eric rocked out next to her.
'Eyes on the road, Earhardt,' Eric warned with a smile.
The rest of the way home they had fun together singing along with the radio, sometimes very off key.
A/N: Arwennicole, if I make it back to LA next year. We have to go to the Observatory at night. But we'd better plan that on a day that's not in the PMC weekend… (Whenever they decide to announce dates for that.)
