The sun came shooting through the blinds way too early for Antonia's liking and she groaned. Wait was her pillow was warm? Where was she? Peeling her eyes open Antonia realized she was holding onto Klaus. She had her back against Klaus' side and she was clutching his arm in front of her. Her head was resting on his shoulders her hands holding his bicep tight, his hand was casually splayed holding onto her hip rubbing soft circles on her hip bone. Shocked Antonia sat up.
"I see your awake love" Klaus said with amusement at her flustered state.
"Ah uh what was that?"
"You grabbed my arm, you tell me" oh god Antonia knew she had a thing for cuddling in her sleep, Katherine had told her that once.
"Oh, uh sorry I have a thing with that" Her face flushing in embarrassment. Quickly she threw off the covers and got to standing quickly. Noticing how her shirt had both ridden up and down at the same time she rushed to adjust her top. She looked back at Klaus on the bed, true to his word he hadn't moved at all he was still on his side where he layed down, she on the other hand had apparently migrated completely across the bed to him. Despite being her mate she wasn't so comfortable with being so close to him without her real consent. Subconsciously it was clear she had wanted to be close to him.
"Where's Stefan?"
"You seem to be asking that a lot"
Antonia looked from side to side, unsure how to reply, what did that even mean she thought. "Just an observation love, now do get your shoes on its time to go"
"We're going to leave the crazy guy, oh thank god!" Antonia said slipping into her shoes. Klaus chuckled, he had notice Stefan's starring at her trying to figure out what she was and what she was to him and apparently Antonia had noticed too.
"He's in the car" Klaus informed her with amusement in his voice. Antonia went to brush her teeth with a huff, Klaus shouted to her that he would be waiting in the car for her. Hurrying Antonia finished brushing her teeth and out and down to the car.
She opened the door hopping in only to be met with a less than warm welcome from Stefan, "Finally she wakes up and we can get a move on"
Her cheeks flushed yet again but that didn't stop her from snapping back, "Sorry to keep you waiting princess" Klaus chuckled from the passenger side. Stefan was seated in the driver seat, "Settle in sweetheart it's going to be a long ride" Klaus said as he turned the radio on.
It was nearing noon and the sun was beating down, Antonia had managed to get Klaus to tell her where they were headed, Florida. Just as the radio station was between songs Antonia's stomach decided to make its presence known with a loud growl. Her hand immediately flew to cover her mouth as if it would stop the un-lady like sound.
"There's a cooler back there with snack if you want and there's some in the backpack too" Klaus said as he whipped out his phone dialing away. Antonia was surprised she hadn't noticed the backpack and cooler before he mentioned it, she hadn't even been thinking of anything just listening to the music. Finding beef jerky Antonia devoured the package and a can of Sun Drop she found amongst the blood bags in the cooler.
She knew it should have probably creeped her out that her drinks were so close to their drinks but it didn't, after living with Katherine for so long nothing really could shock her anymore. Katherine had stored a heart of someone who crossed her in a jar right next to the cream cheese it the fridge.
"Anybody want a blood bag?" she asked, she had the cooler open might as well check in with the boys. "Are you offering?" Stefan suggested with a glint in his eye as he checked her out from the rear-view mirror. Klaus still on the phone threw him a scolding look, he extended his hand as if asking for one from Antonia. She placed the first bag she picked up into Klaus' hand, and asked Stefan if he had a preference as to what type. "Yours"
"What type?" She gritted out, seriously what was with this vampire.
"B+"
"Here"
"DAMN!" shouted Klaus into the phone, Antonia did not envy whoever was on the other line. Klaus mumbled angrily into the phone before hanging up and told Stefan to "PULL OVER RIGHT NOW" Stefan was visibly sweating as he pulled the SUV over to the side of the road, was he nervous?
Turning to look back at her Klaus' angrily faced Antonia, "Antonia can you drive?"
"Yes?"
"Stefan switch with her, now!" Klaus said, "Why?" Stefan asked perplexed, "You keep getting distracted by the blood and swerve every time we past someone and their window is down. And I need to make some calls, therefor Antonia will drive, now get. In. the. Back!"
Antonia quickly scrambled out of the car to switch seats with Stefan who shoulder checked her causing her to stumble and nearly fall. Klaus didn't notice Stefan shoulder checking her but he did see her trip on nothing. "Hopefully you're a better driver than you walk" he remarked and Antonia furrowed her brow.
She hopped into the driver seat, adjusting for her shortness she situated herself. The GPS told her where to go and just as she was about to start driving Klaus took the GPS down and put in new coordinates. "Drive fast sweetheart"
Rolling her eyes as if she needed to be told to drive fast, if anything she would most likely drive too fast for Klaus' liking. Taking off it only took her a moment to get up to 80. Her left leg was up on the seat and she leaned on her that elbow on the side of the car, it was a long drive and she was prepared to get comfy. "At least I'll be in charge of stopping when I need to" she mumbled underneath her breath almost so low that Klaus couldn't even make out what she said. Not that he would have noticed he was back on the phone screaming, at first Antonia listened but after he screamed "I can't believe you only have one lead" the fourth time she blocked him out and just focused on driving.
They had made great time with Antonia driving, her slow was 80 and her fast was as fast as the car would go. She couldn't believe there was a time where the top speed of cars was only 40 miles an hour, now that was just crazy to her. At the time it had felt so fast! Stefan sat in the back looking very much annoyed as he continued to down blood bag after blood bag.
