Morning came, and neither of the duo woke to the first sunlight of the day. Raven was a heavy sleeper and Octavia was too comfortable in Raven's arms. What did wake them was Raven's phone which started ringing at 9 in the morning. Raven moaned and reached to grab her phone and turn off the alarm. Once she did she turned back to a now wake Octavia.
„Hey." Octavia spoke in a sleep laced voice but smiled at Raven
„Good morning." Raven said, yawned and stretched.
They were both lying on their side and facing each other smiling. Octavia was about to speak and ask Raven how she slept but Raven's eyes were suddenly wide and full of fear and panic. „Ray are you ok?" She asked urgently and lifted her head to look at her companion better.
„Don't move!" Raven practically yelled and Octavia froze. Once she caught Raven's gaze and followed it over her shoulder she saw what scared her friend. A huge cockroach. On the wall. Right behind her.
Octavia screamed and jumped over Ravens legs and out of the bed. Raven was quick to reach to the floor and grab her nike sneakers. Once she did she started banging the wall where the cockroach was. After a few seconds she stopped and looked at the huge mess she made on the wall by killing the roach.
Raven was panting while Octavia was quickly putting her pants and shoes on.
„Ok seriously, we are never sleeping in a hotel again. Used condoms and dirty towels and mega cockroaches are not my idea of a vacation. We're better off on the road where you could sleep at night and we could stargaze with good music and not be locked up in a moldy old room thinking some creep is gonna bust in and murder us in our sleep." After Octavia finished her rant she took a deep breath.
Raven got out of bed without saying anything and started dressing . Octavia felt sorry for her aggressive approach to the problem and spoke again. „Look. sorry I went off, it's just that I'm pretty easy to trigger and I want us to have the best experience we can."
Raven looked at Octavia smiling. „Dude don't worry about it I'm not mad. Besides. that scream was so girly that I thought I slept with a three-year-old." Raven was now grinning.
„Oh shut up shorty." Octavia was smiling again. They both started packing what little stuff they put out and got ready to head out.
„Man. I'm hungry." Octavia said rubbing her abdomen. „Is there a time when you aren't hungry?" Raven said as they descended the hotel stairs and headed for the parking lot. „Yes, when I'm sleeping."
They got in the car, Raven buckled up while Octavia went to the back seats and started rummaging through their cooler looking for food.
Octavia made two sandwiches in the back and went back to the passenger's seat and started eating occasionally stopping and lifting the second sandwich to Raven's mouth so she could take a bite of her own.
They were driving for 2 or 3 hours and got out of their second city. Kygo was playing on the cars speakers and both Raven and Octavia were enjoying the music. Octavia would sing a line or two of every song.
They were enjoying their ride, Raven bumping her head to the music and keeping an eye out for the road while Octavia was observing the nature they passed along the road.
„Dude! Stop the car!" Octavia shouted out of nowhere.
„What's wrong?" Raven asked as she pulled over to the side of the road, she saw something move in the corner of her eye but she ignored it favoring to see what was wrong with Octavia.
„It's a dog." Octavia said like she just saw one million dollars on the road.
„...Seriously..." Raven sighed and leaned back into the driver's seat and watched her friend approach the animal.
„Puppy, puppy, puppy..." Octavia was calling out as she slowly approached the canine with her right hand out stretched for the animal to sniff. He slowly made his way towards Octavia, ears flattened to his head and wary, Octavia was smiling from ear to ear, she loved animals.
Raven felt something was off, she inspected the canine with sharper eyes and realized something crucial. She cursed as she watched her dear friend pet the potentionaly dangerous animal.
„Octavia, slowly back off." She called out through the window.
Octavia was happily crouching near the animal scratching him behind the ear while he licked her hand. „Why? This puppy is awesome" She inquired.
„Because genius I don't think that's a dog, I think it's a coyote." Raven sharply whispered loud enough for Octavia to hear. but not loud enough to scare the animal.
Octavia's hand froze, and she took a better look at the canine. The sharp wild color pattern of its fur, the big, long nuzzle... and she slowly got up and started walking backwards towards the car. Thank god the coyote didn't follow her.
Octavia closed the door of the car and both she and Raven let out sights of relief.
„I thought it was gonna bite you." Raven said as she slowly got the car back on the road.
„I'm great with animals, it probably didn't sense any danger so it didn't bite. Anyway thanks for the heads up, playing with a coyote is not what I want my last moments to be like."
Raven laughed at the mental image of Octavia playing with a wild animal. „Oh really, and what would you like your last moments to look like?" Raven asked.
Octavia thought for a few moments. „Hmm, well I definitely want them to be peaceful and joyful, maybe with my family around my death bed, my brother, my friends, my kids, my grandkids..."
Raven listened carefully noticing how Octavia always had her family and friends on her mind. Octavia really was a kind soul.
Raven was silent for a second and then decided to speak. „ I'd want to go out with an orgasm."
Both she and Octavia started laughing and wheezing.
