Chapter 8

Here they were again, riding in the SUV, Daniella sitting in the passenger side as AJ drove…Their hands laced together making small chit chat as they drove up into the mountains. AJ had been granted some time off from TNA…and decided he wanted to take Daniella up to the mountains, to the cabin his folks had left him after they'd both died.

AJ looked over and noticed Dani was moving around a bit and he said, "Nervous or excited?" Daniella looked over at AJ and said, "Excited…Getting away for the weekend…It's great…But we don't have to keep going places…ya know…I'm perfectly happy staying in town at one of our places…and just relaxing."

AJ said, "Yea…well…I wouldn't mind it either except the phones never stop ringing off the damn hooks…and the visitors are like in a never ending visiting line down the streets. Our cell phones won't work in the mountains…and no one can bug us…we can be alone and relax and enjoy each others company…besides…the only visitors we'll have there is the occasional spider" Daniella said, "That you've already promised to kill." AJ laughed and said, "Right…I gave my solemn promise and vowed if there was a spider I'd kill it dead…D-e-a-d…Dead." Daniella pinched his love handle and said, "Now you're just mocking me." The rest of the drive was laughing and talking.

When they got to the cabin, AJ went out to grab up some fire wood, so they could make a fire in the fireplace and relax and enjoy their time…Daniella decided to make some soup for dinner. Dani pulled her sweat shirt off and was walking around in her jeans and tank top bare footed…She grabbed her empty coffee mug and was walking across the floor letting the carpeting squish between her toes to relax her…

When out from under the kitchen table this HUGE ass hair fucking spider makes a mad dash towards her…She's screaming and jumping around dropped her coffee mug…good thing it was thick…it didn't break…Dani finally grabbed the coffee mug and capture the hair little thing…

The cabin door flew open and there was AJ, breathing heavy like he just got done running a marathon…Dani said, "What are you doing?" AJ said, "Well I heard you screaming…you scared the hell out of me…are you okay?" AJ leaned against the door breathing hard…Dani walked over and said, "I'm so sorry I didn't mean to scare you…There was a big spider and I don't like anything with more then 4 legs crawling out from underneath the kitchen table where we eat…You know that."

AJ started laughing so hard from the back of his throat…Daniella smacked at his 6-pak and said, "It's not funny…he had a gun I swear…He was coming straight for me…I thought I heard him ask for my cash and jewelry." AJ said, "Where is it now?" Dani said, "I got the terrorist trapped under the coffee mug…I'm gonna have to sterilize it now…Will you get rid of it for me? Please?"

AJ looked down at the brunette who held his heart in the palm of her soft tiny gentle hands as she pouted her bottom lip out perfectly…AJ pushed off the door and walked over and grabbed a Piece of paper, and slid it under the cup and carried the menacing thing to the bathroom and flushed it…

AJ walked out and said, "There...him and his gun are on their way to China as we speak." Dani smiled and said, "My hero." She ran over and jumped in his arms and wrapped her legs around his waist…AJ couldn't help but laugh…They kissed a couple of times and he put her down…

Dani walked over to the counter and said, "I was going to come and get you for dinner." AJ said, "Okay." Dani leaned across the sink to grab the bowls for the soup she'd made, when AJ walked up behind her and ran his hand up the back of her thighs to her ass, grabbed her hips and pulled her back against him…Dani touched his hands and snuggled into his chest and said, "Hmmm…is that a roll of lifesavers in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?" AJ said, "Turn around and find out."

Daniella turned around and looked down at him and said, "Mmmm…Definitely not lifesavers." AJ said, "I know…" AJ slowly lifted Daniella up onto the kitchen counter as his lips began traveling all over her neck. He finally kissing on her neck and knew if he got to close to that little spot on the side of her neck she was going to be a goner…well he found it and they spent the rest of the night in bed.

2 more days of that and they were on their way back home. Both relishing in the time they got to spend together all relaxed and just content with the world. Everything was good…Once they made it down from the mountains…they noticed the clouds rolling in…It was definitely going to storm before they got home. Sure enough the rain began to pour down in huge drops…heavier then anything they'd seen before. Dani wasn't worried; she knew AJ was a careful driving in any weather.

All of a suddenly, out of nowhere, a lightning bolt came out of the sky and struck the ground directly in front of their SUV, AJ slammed on the breaks out of reflex…and the SUV slide sideways and hit a curb, flipping it over 2 times and finally stopping as it hit a tree off the side of the road.

AJ was leaning against the steering wheel with blood coming from his head, mouth and nose…Daniella had hit her head on her side window and shattered it…The last thing she remembered was the sound of metal scrapping the gravel and then the sound of twisting metal and things flying around inside the vehicle…Then darkness consumed her.
