Blood Rose Chapter 15:

Jake and Maria sat at the front of the truck. They passed a sign which read: "December Next Exit."

"We're almost there, I can't believe we're going to meet Vash the Stampede!!" Jake said excidedly.

"You know, not only are we going to meet Vash, but my adorable little brother already got a present in advance." Maria cooed.

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"You rather have her sitting here with you instead of me, right?" Maria asked.

Jake turned red at the thought of that.

She is right, you know. He thought. I wish Lenn was sitting next to me. I could finally spend some time with her.

"I thought so, pull over." Maria said.

Jake pulled the truck over. Maria got out of the driver's seat and opened the back of the truck.

"Why have we stopped?" Grey asked.

"Lenn, Jake wants you to sit with him." Maria said.

"Why?" she asked.

"(Oh I get it!)" Rose said quietly to Maria, "He wants you in the front because you know your way around December better than any of us."

"I guess, have fun Maria." Lenn said as she was getting out.

"Always do." Maria replied as she climbed in.

"What's up with you guys, you're all acting secretive." Grey asked.

Rose kissed Grey on the lips.

"It's for us girls to know and for you to find out." She answered.

"You're really kinky when you want to be." Grey said.

Rose laughed when he made that comment. After all, it was true.

Lenn walked to the door of the truck. Jake opened it with a smile on his face, which only made Lenn blush even more. Jake took her hand and helped her get in. She sat down comfortably on the seats.

"Okay, so I take the next exit, right?" He asked.

"Yeah." She said.

Jake looked at her and noticed she was uncomfortable.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

Lenn couldn't take the tension anymore. She turned around and kissed him on the lips. Jake had to stop the truck, to return the gesture. After she finished she scooted away from him.

"I'm so sorry." She quickly said.

Her face was turning ten different shades of red. Jake smiled at her. He moved in closer to her and kissed her again, this time a little bit more intense.

"You're a good kisser." He said as finished.

Lenn turned even more red.

"Stop making me blush!" She shouted.

Jake just laughed.

"What are you laughing about?" Lenn asked.

"That's what all the girls say, but they really didn't mean it, like you." He said.

"Just get back on the road, when we get home, we'll have time to ourselves." She said, looking into his eyes.

Jake smiled and his eyes grew wider.

"Okay." He said.

He turned the engine back on and got on the road again.

"Uhhhhhh, man." Knives mumbled.

He slowly sat up and leaned against the wall.

"I'm never drinking like that again." Remus said.

"That was fun." Knives said.

"You retard! I almost got my licence revoked because of you! Do you have any idea what that would be like for me?! This is why I quit doing all the stupid shit I used to do with you. I was sick and tired of getting into trouble. Getting into trouble doesn't even help anybody, it only makes things worse!" Remus explained.

"Maybe you should learn how to drink and drive, like me. I have mastered the art." Knives said proudly.

"Uh Uncle, that's something you shouldn't really be proud of." Rose said.

"You teenagers don't know how to live these days!" Knives said.

"At least we're not the ones getting drunk, running around naked, losing our money, driving around like a maniac, screwing your sister-in-law while letting your brother give his wife oral pleasure, getting caught drinking and driving by a cop who happens to be a big fan of your niece and asks her to get her autograph on his and probably goes to the tatto parlor to get tattoed there, and stripping in front of undercover cops and beating the crap out of them." Grey said.

"Hey, but you gotta admit it kid, you were having a lot of fun. Probably the most fun you've had in years and you almost made it to third base with my niece, your dad will be proud of you, really, I'm proud of you myself and Rose, you finally opened up and stopped being shy around people, I'm proud of you too." Knives said happily.

"I can hardly wait my dad's reaction to this." Grey said sarcastically.

"Don't worry about Uncle, it's just the booze talking. In a couple of hours he'll be back to normal." Rose said.

"I do agree with Knives though, I may not look it, but I am having a lot of fun." Maria commented.

"Even though I'm having the worst hangover of my life, this is definately better than the good ol' days because I'm spending it with three different families." Remus added.

"I just hope we get there in time, all of our families need us!" Rose said.

"LET'S GO!!!" Everyone shouted.
