Sorry its a bit late, schoolwork has been a little crazy recently but here you go :)
Amy reluctantly peeled herself away from her girlfriend with the knowledge that they both had to leave in a couple of hours to go to their next destination which Karma had yet to discover the location of. In the night they had managed to entangle their limbs to the extent that it was like a game of twister trying to remove her arms from around Karma's waist without waking her up. Eventually she was successful in her venture and Amy grabbed a towel and her wash-bag before making her way over to the shower block. Whilst in the shower Amy recalled the conversation she had instigated the previous night, it brought a smile to her face knowing she had it all planned out. This didn't stop her in any way being nervous, she knew Karma was expecting it and over the few days she would have to wait Amy was sure that Karma would be building it up in her mind. She rung out her hair before towelling dry and changing into some cut off denim shorts and a vest, she threw her hair up in a loose bun and made her way back to the campervan to see if the brunette had risen yet. She was pleasantly greeted by a rather chirpy Karma who was still in her pyjamas but stood puzzled to the entrance of the van.
"I wondered where you had gone but I made us coffee anyway it's just been poured so it should still be quite hot."
"Ooh thank you, I could do with that before driving. How are you feeling? I thought my watch had the wrong time when I saw you awake."
"I'm fine, how about you come over here and stop mocking me."
Amy walked over to Karma and the coffee and Karma enveloped her in a hug.
"Okay there must be something wrong, you are awake before ten o' clock and you are in a good mood."
Karma just smiled. "Can't a girl just be happy that her beautiful girlfriend is taking her on a wonderful trip?" Karma feigned offense.
"Beautiful hey?"
"Yes beautiful." Karma hesitated for a moment. "So where are we going?"
"And there it is, I knew you were trying to get something out of me. You will not find out until we get there I've told you, where we go each time is a surprise from now on."
"But I want to know what's going on, you know." Karma pouted.
"You just don't like me being in charge." Amy smiled knowingly pushing the sunglasses off of her face.
"Oh I like you being in charge, just not in this particular situation." Amy raised her eyebrow in response and leant in to kiss Karma quickly before locating her coffee and holding onto it possessively.
"You don't have to grip the mug to death it's not going to run away."
"It might, anyway haven't you got a shower with your name on?"
"No I am going to fester in my own filth and spread it all over you." Karma walked over to Amy and wrapped her arms around her. "Can you feel the festering filth."
Amy let a laugh slip out before Karma swanned off to the shower block. Amy grabbed the map from inside the glove compartment and ran over the route to their next destination carefully hoping to commit it to memory before they left. She went inside the van and began folding everything back in and tidying everything up ready for the journey, she found several things belonging to Karma strewn around and laughed to herself as she grabbed them all and put them in one of the bags behind the seats.
Karma returned just as Amy had wrapped up two muffins for breakfast, she figured that if she washed everything up now it would be all done without distraction which was not guaranteed with Karma's presence.
"Someone's been busy."
"Well I thought I would tidy everything up in the half an hour it takes you to get ready."
"Half an hour is quite a short time actually, especially when you consider how attractive I am, it doesn't come easily there is a cleverly engineered regime."
"Well when you've finished with your regime I have a muffin for breakfast."
Amy sat down against the van facing the river, everything was packed away and it was kind of satisfying. Karma sat down next to her and took the second muffin murmuring a thank you as she devoured the food item in record time. Amy allowed herself to take in the view before taking Karma's hand and pulling her up with herself so they could get in the van.
"Time to go." Amy's comment was met with a groan from Karma. "Come on we need to go."
"I know but the ground is so comfy."
"Not as comfy as a chair."
Karma got up and kissed Amy on the cheek before walking off around the other side of the van and hopping into the passenger seat. Amy got in and put the CD that Reagan had given her the previous night into the van CD player.
"Is that Reagan's CD?" Karma asked.
"Yep I thought we could listen to it on the way."
"Sounds like a good idea, just make sure that it's turned down when we reach the hut, I don't think that girl needs any ego boosts or she might just burst."
"Good point, I knew there was some sense hanging around somewhere."
The two girls smiled at each other momentarily before Amy started the engine, even though they were now in a relationship they still had the banter that had been ever present in their friendship before. Neither of them wanted the kind of sickeningly sweet relationship that was sprayed all over social media, they liked their privacy and their own kind of relationship they had developed- it was personal to them and it made both of them happy.
The van pulled up to the hut, both Sophie and Reagan were sat deep in conversation but they both looked up with the sound of the van.
"We're off now, thank you for last night it was really nice and we've had a brilliant stay."
"That's good, we aim to please." Reagan said jokingly.
"Thanks for coming here, we've enjoyed having the company of someone closer to our own age. Sometimes the older people are a little, how can I put this; less accommodating." Said Sophie.
"Well you never know we may be back sometime in the future it's a really nice site. Well we have to be off now but here's the maps we borrowed."
"We hope you enjoy the rest of your trip, here's our email address for when you get back make sure you keep in contact it would be nice to hear how the trip went."
"Thank you, we'll make sure we update you when we get back, hey Karma?"
"Yes, thank you for the lovely stay."
They said their goodbyes and drove off with Reagan's CD playing, it was different to Karma and Amy's taste where they liked more pop and indie records this had a more urban and dance theme to it but they were both enjoying it. The music seemed to suit the excitement brewing in both of them, the feeling of independence was freeing to Karma and Amy, especially Amy who felt herself supressing a smile when it occurred to her. After a couple of hours sat in the van Karma began to recognise signs and clues to where they were going, shortly after this time and a few left and right turns they parked up somewhere.
"Welcome to Dallas." Amy said opening up the car door and walking around to the passenger's side to open the door for Karma. "There you go mi'lady."
Karma laughed and helped Amy grab the bags she had packed in the morning. "I thought we deserved some luxury after the camping, not that it wasn't luxurious but you know a bath might be nice."
Amy led Karma into the small boutique hotel, they checked in and walked up to their room which was really homely with a bookshelf effect printed on the back wall and a big double bed in the centre of the room.
"It's beautiful Amy, how could you even afford all of this."
"Well I've been saving up for a rainy day and the rest was a little present from my mom."
Karma gasped, "Amy your mom will kill you."
"Let's not think about that and anyway she won't notice, she doesn't check the amount that comes out that is her wonderful husbands job and he doesn't know the difference between what she has spent or anyone else has."
"I knew I kept you around for some reason."
"Gold digger." Amy stated accusingly.
"You love me anyway." Karma retorted and they both collapsed onto the bed.
