Woke Up In A Car


Fuck. Something pushes against the back of my neck and it feels like a bloody hammer. Shit, it's the dashboard. Yeah, that's nice to wake up to. Oh, God, what time is it? My hair feels slanted to the right and as I reach my hand up to spruce it up a bit, I catch a glimpse of the numbers on the digital.

Four in the bloody morning. Yeah, damnit, we gotta – well, I gotta someplace to stay before the sun rises. Shit, I can hear my bones shift as I stretch out. I never liked sleeping in cars anyway. Damnit. My neck is killing me.

The windows are foggy and the leather is cold. Not that I really mind the cold, but she does. And it takes me a moment to realize she isn't here. I grab the blanket from the back seat (gotta remember to take the axe out and clean off the Gaurk blood) and wipe away some of the fog. Which is odd, because I'm the only one in here and I have no body heat. She probably went out a little while ago.

Fucking A. She's a bloody cute little thing. Dancing around out there in the river, up in her knees. Damnit. I'm a regular fucking Peeping Tom. My left hand reaches to the back of my neck again (shit, it really is killing me) and I can't help but let out this big bloody smile at her outside. Bloody hell. I'm a vampire, I don't smile. I smirk. I grin. I don't smile.

Her laughing eyes catch mine. Shit, if I didn't know better, I'd say that my smile just got bigger – brighter. Shit. I'm a vampire. And since when do I have to remind myself? Damnit.

She's beautiful when she smiles.

Where am I again? Right, in the car. Now, where am I again?

"Are we there yet?"

You'd think after five hours of listening to her yammer about cows and shopping, I'd be used to it. But, bloody hell, would she just shut up? It wasn't as if New York were three bloody minutes away.

"How much longerrr?"

God damnit, she's using her whiney voice and her stupid pout.

"Spiiiiike…"

Damnit.

"Stop ignoring me."

She's the one that woke me three in the bloody afternoon, barging in with a duffle bag wanting to go on a road trip. Well, that was a good thing, I suppose. Finally getting that screw all attitude and having some fun, I guess. But, God damnit, there's the pout again. Maybe if I just close my eyes…

"Spike! Eyes on the road, vampire!"

Right, shit.

"Whatever, don't talk, be broody. I'm going to sleep."

Bitch. "I'm
not brooding. I do not brood!"

Yeah, go to sleep. And her eyes flutter shut, that hint of a smile playing at her lips. Fucking cute. Her head rests on the back of her seat, displaying her neck out in the open. The sweet sound of her blood pulsating beneath her smooth silk skin. Would she notice? A little bite wouldn't hurt, would it? Fucking William, no! Fuck, yeah, I'm a vampire.

She makes a small sighing sound and she snuggles up against my shoulder. Shit.

She's beautiful.
