Chapter 2
Chris is woken my soft crying, he grabs a pillow and pulls it over his head trying to block out the girls sobs. He rolls over onto his side and realizes the crying is coming from Stephanie in the bed next to him, he puts the pillow down and puts his hand on her shoulder, he feels her jump as he runs his hand down her arm. He doesn't say a word; the soft crying ceases as she turns to face him and puts her head on his chest. Chris puts his arms around her wanting to make her feel safe, it was only then he realized how terrified she must be. She curls up in his arms as he pulls her in closer to him, still neither of them saying a word. Chris opens his eyes; it's just starting to get dark outside. Stephanie stirs in the bed next to him still lying in his arms, she rubs her eyes and rests her hand on his chest and carries on sleeping. Chris gently moves from under her and climbs out of the bed, pulling on his clothes. Stephanie opens her eyes and stretches; she looks at him and smiles.
"Thank you" She whispers as he sits down on the end of the bed.
"What for, I didn't do anything," Chris says pulling his t-shirt on over his head and picking up his boots from the floor.
"It might not have seemed like anything to you but that's the nicest thing anyone's ever done for me" Stephanie says sitting up and bringing her knees in close to her. "No one's ever held me like that and made me feel safe like you did," she says placing her hand on his lightly.
"Don't mention it" Chris says, he gets up and goes into the bathroom closing the door behind him, he stares at his reflection in the mirror. "What has she done to you Chris? You've only been with her over a day and she's turned you soft" Chris mutters to himself running his hand through his hair. He unlocks the door and walks out; Stephanie is nearly dressed and is just pulling on her shoes.
"We going now?" She asks looking at him as he pulls on his jacket and picks up his keys.
"Yeah you ready?" He asks as she gets up and walks over to him, she nods her head "After you" Chris beckons letting Stephanie through the door. He hands in their room keys and they walk outside to the bike, he climbs on and helps her up. "I saw a bike shop round here somewhere when I was out, I'm going to stop and pick up some stuff" Chris says to her before pulling on his helmet, she nods her head and puts hers on too. Chris starts up the bike and they pull out of the motel car park and head off down the road.
********************
"Well how do I look?" Chris says as he walks out of the changing room and does a little twirl for her in the bike leathers he's trying on.
"Yeah you look ok" Stephanie says making out she's not paying much attention not letting Chris know what she really thinks of him in those leathers. The truth was she loved him in them; they made him even hotter than she already thought he was.
"Just ok, oh thanks a lot" Chris laughs, he goes back into the changing room to get the rest of his clothes "If your having those ones Princess I'd keep them on, we don't have time to change back into them when we get outside" Chris says eyeing Stephanie up in her leathers.
"Ok, have you any idea where we are heading from here?" Stephanie asks as Chris pays for their stuff and they walk outside. Chris jumps back onto the bike and pulls Steph up with him.
"Yep, we're going to Canada" Chris says grinning, Before Steph gets to say anything back they are out of the car park and down the street at great speed. No one would ever recognize the pair, they looked like they'd always ridden bikes. Well Chris had but Stephanie was becoming a bit of a natural and with them both in their leather outfits they would never get spotted.
"Chris, can we stop for a little while?" Stephanie shouts to Chris, he turns his head round and looks at her and smiles. "What?" She asks as he looks back at the road.
"You called me Chris" He laughs, he pulls in at the side of the road and stops the bike, Stephanie jumps off and walks around a bit stretching her legs. Chris pulls of his helmet and unzips his jacket, he leans against the bike and watches Stephanie. She pulls off her helmet letting her hair fall to her shoulders and she pulls off her jacket putting them on the floor, she notices he's looking at her.
"What's wrong with you, you've been acting strange" Stephanie says walking over to him, she takes his helmet and puts it down with hers and looks at him, she leans against the bike next to him. He just stands there smiling. "Anyway what do you mean I called you Chris, that's your name isn't it?" Stephanie says moving so she's standing in front of him. "Yeah, it's just.well you always called me Jericho" He says still smiling at her, she looks at him like he's insane and shakes her head.
"Ook then, are you feeling ok?" Stephanie asks moving closer to him and putting her hand up to his forehead. He grabs her hand and pulls her closer to him and presses his lips against hers, he runs his hands down her body and wraps his arms around her waist as they kiss passionately. Chris pulls away from her and picks up their helmets.
"I'm sorry" He says putting his helmet back on and climbing on the bike, she sighs and gets on too pulling on her jacket. As they drive down the highway she feels tears trickling down her face, why was she crying she thought. She had wanted Chris for such a long time and he showed some sort of sign that he liked her too and she was crying. It was getting light quickly and they were quite a way from a place to stop, Stephanie thought that Chris would stop somewhere and they'd sleep outside but he showed no signs of stopping. Maybe he couldn't bear to be alone with her and just wanted to carry on driving.
