Papa Don't Preach

Chapter Twelve: Love Shack

"Wake up," Craig snapped his fingers in front of my face, forcing me to open my eyes. I opened one to see what exactly he was doing and why. Behind his fingers I saw the clock that read 10:11. I felt him hunched over me, his chest against my back. His hand was only millimeters away from me. "Come on, we need to get going."

I opened my other eye and sat up in the bed. I found that my t-shirt had gone upwards excessively so I quickly yanked it down over my torso. My face went pink, knowing that he saw me, but I suppose I shouldn't have cared much since he was only in his boxers.

Craig laughed quietly to himself before deciding to get off his lazy ass and pack. A few minutes of watching him I knew it was probably best I did so as well. I pulled out a clean pair of jeans and a black tank top that exposed myself quite well. I tugged loosely at the straps, bringing the v-neck up as much as I could which was not that bad.

"I already paid, everything's set and packed, lets get a move on," Craig mumbled as he grabbed my shit and set out the door.

"Ok," I mumbled, hopping over myself and getting in the passengers side of my lovable cherry red corvette. I had really no idea where we were going, I just let Craig drive and hoped for the best. I had some old Superchick blasting on the stereo and I sang along at the top of my lungs.

"Sing much?" Craig laughed after an hour of me going on about being a one girl revolution.

"Too much," I smiled, ruffling his hair with my fingers. "God, this is great. I wonder what Joey doing now."

"I'm worried about your parents, they must be going insane," Craig laughed, thinking about my parents going psycho was always a good image. Mei would be off her rocker and Darshan would be going door to door with a picture of me when I was three, asking if anyone had seen me.

"Yeah," I giggled, turning the volume down a bit even though it was my favorite remix of 'Princes and Frogs'.

"What are we going to do when we get back?" I questioned, knowing what the answer was going to be.

"I don't know, sweetheart, I don't know," Craig said with his most reassuring voice. He wrapped his arm around me and kissed my forehead softly.

Hours had passed before either one of us said anything. The gas in my little baby car was running out and it was getting awfully dark out. We stopped at a small gas station in the middle of nowhere. I wasn't even sure of what state I was in.

"Come on, let's get some grub," Craig poked me in the side, making me roll around furiously in my seat.

"I want pizza!" I exclaimed, feeling my empty stomach grumble worse with every aching second.

"Then pizza it is my fair lady," Craig jumped out towards shotgun, opened my door and held his hand our for mine. I took hold and stepped out like I was a glamorous star. He held me close to him as we pushed through the welcome door. The smell of convenience store hot dogs and brats made my nose twitch with anticipation. I was so hungry I thought I might be able to eat a cow.

"Pizza," Craig murmured as he picked up a huge cheese pizza from under the heating lights. "Cheese?"

"Yes," I nodded, smiling my ass off.

Craig quickly paid for the pizza and asked for the nearest motel. He took my hand and led me into the dark misty air of what I discovered was Kansas and brought me into the backseat of the car.

"Eat up," Craig handed half the pizza to me along with a two liter of Diet Coke. I ate as he drove about a mile to a fancy looking motel, hotel was more like it.

"Where are we?" I swallowed a huge hunk of burning cheese and downed it with a swing of soda.

"Some sort of Hilton wanna be place, come on, grab your things and let's go," he snatched his knapsack and dumped the pizza box in a trash can. It was nicely cool outside and you could see the stars, so luminous and bright.

My eyes seemed to glow as I sat up and swung my bag over my shoulder. I walked up stairs that were made of fine stone and pushed my way through a swinging door. Craig was already inside, getting a room for us. The place seemed a bit too pricey, but we'd make it through. I still had an account full of money I could access at an ATM without a problem. We'll be ok.

"Come on, tenth floor," Craig tossed me a pair of keys and walked towards the elevators. I followed like a lost puppy, he seemed to know where he was going. He also seemed to know what he was doing. I was confused as hell.

Once we got into the room I knew he was insane. It wasn't one of those 'bread and breakfast' suites. It was the honeymoon suite.

"You're insane," I shook my head in disbelief.

"Can you believe they have this in the middle of Kansas, I think we're in a suburb of some major city," Craig pondered on with a dirty grin.

I looked over at the bed, a four post white and fluffy bed. The walls were painted with beautiful pink, red and white roses. Carvings of angels and fairies spread around the wood sidings. A huge chandelier hung from the middle of the room, the lights looked like candles. I could feel my face grow hotter with each discovery. It was a dream.

"Come on, there's more," Craig pushed me gently towards the bathroom. Candles showered the luxurious room, keeping up with the theme of roses and fairies. A hot tub took up most of the space.

I looked at Craig and kissed him, "You found all this in the middle of Kansas."

"Yes," he pressed his lips to mine, "now come on, there's something else I heard about that I think you'll like."

A/N: … Can you believe I actually updated? Well, I just got the N at my house now so no more running over to my mates houses every Friday. Thanks to those who have reviewed in the past and bugged me endlessly about updating. This is dedicated to you!
