Still Here - By Lil'River
Chapter 9
Songs by:: Tracy Bryd, The Watermelon Crawl & Nirvana, Smells Like Teen Spirit
Just as we were about to cross into the Texan boarder, I woke up. Nick was singing along with the radio, and I had somehow ended up laying down in the back seat. I climbed into the front seat next to Nick, he just smiled at me.
'Sleep well?' He asked me.
'Yeah, Nicky can we get some food?' I said while untangling my hair.
When the band started playing the watermelon queen said
Let me show you something that you ain't never seen
She grabbed me by the arm said come on let's go
She dipped down spun around and doe - see - doed
She rocked back on her heels dropped down to her knees
Crawled across the floor then she jumped back on her feet
She wiggled and she giggled beat all you ever saw
Said this is how you do the watermelon crawl
'Yup, next fast food place I see we'll stop.' I changed the radio station to some alterative rock station. 'Hey I liked that song.'
'Nick as much as I love you, I can not stand country music. Besides I'm probably am just going to hear it for a week.'
With the lights out,
it's less dangerous
Here we are now,
entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now,
entertain us
A mulatto
An albino
A mosquito
My libido
'Fine, no country music in the car, I can live with that.' He smiled at me and I smiled back.
Sure enough the next fast food place we saw Nick stopped and bought us some food. Nick continued driving while we ate a comfortable silence. About two hours later we arrived at Nick's sister's house. We got out of the car and walked to the front door. Nick knocked on the door, a dirty blonde girl answered the door, she was about 5'2 or so and was small all over. Her eyes were just like Nick's though.
'Nicky!' The girl wrapped her arms around Nick, 'I've missed you.'
'I've missed you too, Amy.' Nick smiled.
Amy let go of her "little" brother then turned to me, ' And you must be Sara. It's nice to finally meet you.'
'It's nice to meet you too.' I couldn't help but smile.
'Come on you two, Nicky go get the bags and Sara you come into the house with me. I followed Amy into the house. Nick went out into the car to get the bags. The small house was simple with mostly colors of off while and pale yellows. We sat down on the couch and Amy looked really happy.
'Did you and Nicky have a good ride up here?'
'It wasn't bad, Nick drove the whole time, I slept for a few hours.'
'That's good.' Nick came into the house with two bags in hand, 'Do you two want to get a couple hours of sleep before mom wants you over at the house?'
'That would be great Amy, think you could wake us up later?' Nick answered.
'Yup, I'll show you two to your room.' She got off the couch and I followed her down the hall. There was a small bedroom with one full sized bed, a dresser and a mirror. 'This is all I got. Is it ok?'
'IT's fine Amy, I don't think that we'll spend that much time in here anyways.' Nick smiled.
'Ok, night Nick, Sara.' Amy said then shut the door behind her.
'So do you like her?' Nick asked putting the bags down.
'Yeah she seems nice.' I sat down on the bed.
Nick kneeled in front of me and rested his head on my knees. 'Good, now I'm really tired. So you want to get some sleep with me?' I nodded. 'Ok.' Nick stood up and took off his pants and shirt then went under the covers. I took my shoes and pants off then crept next to him. Nick had his arms around me and I felt him fall asleep.
