My Fair Lady 2
~Chapter 4~
Good question.
"We're making hot, passionate love, right here on the floor," I answered. Matt ran off, looking terrified.
"Don't tell mom!" Lizzie called after him, laughing. We were both cracking up. Lizzie stood up first and pulled me up. I followed her through to the kitchen,
"Spaghetti?" I said, confused, staring at the plates of food Lizzie had set out for us.
"Oh, I guess we sort of had enough in Rome, didn't we? Oops!"
"Well, it's different," I agreed. We laughed again and sat down to eat.

"Alright! Everyone in the car!"
Lizzie and I climbed to the back seat of the rented van we would be driving.
"All ready? Everyone excited for the twenty-six-hour drive ahead of us?"
We all groaned, including Mrs. McGuire who added, "Just drive, Sam."
"How do you always manage to take trips that require long periods of travel?" I muttered to Lizzie.
"Must be sheer good luck," she answered. I laughed.

The next few hours passed…not at all. It seemed days until it was eight pm, at which point I declared I was going to bed. I was sick of being awake, having nothing to do.
I laid out my sleeping bag on the floor and fluffed my pillow. Lizzie did the same, up on the back seat.
I was laying on my back, staring up.
"What are you thinking about?" Lizzie asked, peering over the edge of the seat at me.
DO NOT ANSWER HER, GORDO! DON'T DO IT!
"Water," I said quickly, reaching for my water bottle.
"Mm," she said. Yes, good work, I am lying. "Well, goodnight." She yawned and rolled back over.
"Goodnight, angel."
"What?" She looked at me quizzically.
"Uhh." I could feel myself turning red. "I don't know." I think my voice was a few octaves higher than normal. "Is it, um, is it kind of hot in here to you? Can we open a window or something…?"
Lizzie laughed softly and turned over. "Goodnight."
"Yeah." I cleared my throat. "Yeah."
That was close. Actually, that was closer than close. That was dancing in front of her in a kilt with "I am so in love with you, Lizzie" tattooed on my chest and my face painted orange. Or blue. Whoops.
