We had been on the road for a very long time, and I was beginning to grow tired and slightly hungry, I knew Alice felt the same.
I turned to Dean quickly, "Dean wake Alice when we get to the next diner" I said insinuating to Alice that she should sleep, she nodded and then rested her head against her seat. I then turned to Sam.
"Wake me up too, please" I said and then rested against him, he wrapped his arms tightly around me pulling me closer and then kissed my forehead, I closed my eyes and let myself drift off to sleep.
I felt Sam's fingers stroking my arm gently as I rested against him, I didn't dream of much, just Alice feeling awkward about something and Dale having plans for us when we got there, but I wasn't clear on the specifics.

I felt a sudden nudge and then fingers stroking my arm, "Zoey we're here now" I heard Sam mumble into my hair.
"Hmmmm…" I said before stretching against him slightly and breathing in deeply.
"Do that again" I heard him mumble.
I nudged him gently in the ribs and then opened my eyes, Alice was already awake, and she looked like she could eat a horse if she really wanted to.
"Let's get some food" I said playfully pushing Sam and getting out of the car. But before I could walk off, Sam's arms wrapped around my waist and pulled me towards him. Alice and Dean wandered off into the diner infront of us, but Sam had stopped us from moving further.
He turned me in his arms so that I was now facing him, he then pressed his lips against mine. "I still have to make it up to you" he said reminding me again.
"I know, as soon as we are alone, I promise" I said pressing my lips to his.
"Now let's go eat, I'm starving" I said laughing slightly as Sam turned me back the other way and we started walking towards the diner.
We found Alice and Dean in the back, in a booth. Dean's arms were wrapped around Alice and he was kissing her neck.
We sat down with them and looked at the menu.
"We've already ordered for you, sorry I couldn't wait much longer" Alice said smiling
"That's fine, what we having then?" I asked quickly, swinging my legs over Sam's and resting against him.
"We ordered four burgers and fries and four cokes, and Dean ordered himself a side order of onion rings" Alice said smiling slightly
I laughed at her expression, and was glad I wasn't there when that came up during the ordering process.
Sam pulled me closer, while we waited for our food and drinks to arrive.

Once we were finished we began discussing the rest of the route back to Dale's, and who would be driving so the others could sleep.
"So I guess we'll be on the road for another twelve hours, so why don't I drive for six so you can rest Dean and then Sam can drive the other six, allowing you time with Alice" I said quickly.
Sam smiled down at me, he liked the idea of my plan, but wasn't sure Dean would accept it. He then leant down and kissed my lips.
Dean still hadn't answered, he was thinking about it very carefully. I looked over at Alice as if to say 'back me up please' and then shifted my head to look at Dean again.
"Ok, sounds fair enough" Dean said without looking at Alice who was clearly trying to distract him. He then drew out a few short cuts for me on how we could cut the hours we spend in the car, getting us to Dale's sooner.
"Thanks Dean" I said getting up and walking over to the till, "And since you paid last time, I'll pay this time" I said smiling. I handed over the money to the lady at the register and then thanked her. Before leaving the diner, pulling Sam along with me. Dean and Alice followed behind.
We all got in the car, Sam and I in front with me behind the wheel, Dean and Alice in the back snuggled up together, I pulled out of the diner and began following the directions and shortcuts Dean had given me. We had been driving for about five hours and I was growing tired, so I turned to Sam.
"You want to take over?" I said mumbling slightly, he nodded.
"How about you pull over first and then we can swap" he said as he saw the traffic passing by us.
"Right" I said smiling weakly. I pulled off to the right and got out of the car looking at Alice and Dean in the back seat snuggled up together, Dean was asleep resting against Alice's chest with a grin spread across his face. I laughed slightly and she smiled at me. Sam got out from his side and we walked around the front of the car swapping sides. I smiled at him as we passed each other, he wrapped his arms around me quickly and spun me around, kissing my forehead.
I got into the passenger side at the same time Sam got into the drivers, I leant against my seat resting my head against it and closed my eyes. Sam stroked my face making me open my eyes again. He smiled at me.
"Thanks for taking over, can I sleep now" I said smiling.
"In a minute" he said pulling me close and kissing me gently.
"Something for you to dream about" he said pulling away and putting the car into drive and heading down the road towards Dales.
"Thanks Sam" I said smiling before resting my head against the seat, Sam held his hand out and I took it before closing my eyes and drifting off to sleep.

When I woke, Sam was still driving, Dean was still sleeping in the back.
"How long was I asleep?" I asked.
"A little over 2 hours" Alice answered from behind me, and her voice must of woke Dean.
"Better than a pillow" I heard him mumble before he moved his head. I laughed slightly than turned to look at them.
Dean was still smiling and Alice was smiling too. "how long we got left?" he asked then noticing that it was Sam driving and not me.
"A couple of hours give or take, guess I should phone Dale and let him know" I said politely and then smiled at him as I reached for my phone. I patted my pockets several times but found nothing.
"Where's my phone?" I asked confused
"What do you mean, where's your phone?" Alice asked me accusingly.
"I mean, I can't find it" I said explaining it.
"Where did you have it last?" Sam asked smiling.
"Ummmm…" I answered thinking about it.
"Let me help you" Sam said reaching over and tucking his hand under my top and pulling out my phone from where it was hidden in my bra.
"How did you know?" I said smiling
"Lucky guess" he replied smiling again.
"I saw you put it there earlier, because you said that your pockets where too small and wanted somewhere to put your phone" he said clarifying it.
"Oh" I said before I began laughing
"You would remember that, wouldn't you Sammy" Dean said laughing along with me.
"Always staring at her lady lumps" he continued with. Alice began laughing too.
I couldn't help myself, I laughed even harder and then stroked Sam's arm as reassuring gesture.
He smiled at me and then kissed my nose, "love you" he mumbled.
"love you too" I replied back. And then taking my phone from Sam so that I could call Dale.
I dialled his number, and waited for him to pick up. He answered after several dial tones.
"Hey Zo" he answered
"Hey Dale, we'll be there soon, in a couple of hours most likely, we'll pull into a motel and be over yours in the morning ok" I explained
"Great, I'll see you soon, glad that you can make it, are Dean and Sam with you?" Dale asked suddenly
"Yeah, why?" I asked confused surely he should know that Dean and Sam would be with us
"Just checking, glad Ellie thought to add extra seats, and order more food from the caterers, see you soon, love you Zo, send my love to Ali too 'kay" Dale replied
"Kay see you soon, love you too bye" I said hanging up
"Dale sends his love, Alice" I said, "Told him we'll see him in the morning, so guess we should pull into a motel soon and get ourselves a proper nights sleep" I continued.
"Sounds good" Dean, Alice and Sam said together
We pulled over at a motel a few blocks from Dale's, and I head out to go check us in. I walked inside and found a very petite woman sitting behind the desk.
"How can I help Miss?" she asked kindly
"Can I get two rooms please" I said politely
"Sure, you want doubles or singles?" she replied
"Doubles please" I said.
"Sure thing" She said handing me the sign in sheet and two keys.
I signed us in, and then handed over one of my fake credit cards to pay for the rooms.
"Thanks again" I said grabbing the keys and heading back out to the car.
