Hotel De Giggle

"You're going the wrong way Emmett! Fandel is supposed to be West! Not East!" I flipped the map around and pointed to him as he drove down a dusty rode. His face was scrunched in anoyance.

"I read the map before! It's West!" I took the map and stuck it in his vision.

"JESUS! ELIZABETH!" he swerved and quickly slammed on the breaks. The car screeched and fell off the road a little. Our heads came slamming back into the seats. I looked around and smiled, realising we were okay. I looked at him an jumped, anger in his face.

"Was that smart? Really? Was that smart?" I simply sucked my lips in and pointed at the map. He huffed at me one more time as he snatched the map and began reading it. I waited patiently for the look of realization. Then it happened and I couldn't help but smirk.

"Damn it." he tossed back the map and began reversing the car. I snickered a little as he mumbled more.

I felt myself drift to sleep as the car rode steadily through the country side.

EMMETT'S POV

I gripped the wheel tightly hating that she was right. I looked over at her to see her eyes closed and her breathing steady. I then thought about what I was doing. I had just left my entire family to drop this girl off in a town. But could I just drop her off? Could I just say goodbye and never see her again?

"You're driving me crazy. Literally." I mumbled. I couldn't leave her on her own. I was going to stay with her. There was only one problem: I didn't even say goodbye to my parents. What if her parents got suspicious. Or maybe they thought i was going after her.

There was one thing I was happy about, I no longer had to learn about my father's stupid job. I was finally living the way I wanted. I looked over at Elizabeth again, this time smiling. She was my freedom, and I was happy she was.

ELIZABETH'S POV

I woke up to darkness, rain pouring down on the car. I lifted my head only to gasp in pain. My neck had gone stiff from sleeping in the car. I then noticed a jacket fall off my shoulder. It was Emmett's. I looked at the driver's seat to see he wasn't there. I felt myself frown, but then noticed a building right beside the car.

Hotel De Giggle it read on an old wooden sign. I opened the car door and quickly put his coat over my head as the rain poured heavily now. A clap of thunder erupting from the nearby mountain as I booked it up the stone side walk. I walked into a comforting little bar, a fire place and chairs on the far back left wall. Tables lined up against the windows, just being put up because of the late night. I faced an old fashioned wooden bar, Emmett fast asleep at one of the stools, holding an empty glass.

A young fragile looking woman stood behind the counter. She was cleaning out a glass with a towel.

"You Elizabeth?" she practically mouthed to how quiet she was. I nodded, and she nodded to sit beside him.

"I'll fix you something up, cold night it is." her voice was thick with an Irish accent. She turned around to start cooking, her bright red curls bouncing with her. I looked down at the almost drooling Emmett as he snored lightly.

"How long has he been out?" I asked.

"Only about ten minutes. You were out for a good two hours. Ever since he pulled up. He didn't want to wake you up, and I told him there's no real crime here. So he left you to sleep." I simply nodded as I continued watching him.

"I'm Helen by the way." she stuck her hand out and I shook it.

"Hi there. So, is this a hotel too?"

"Sure is. Emmett here already booked you guys a room. He was pretty nervous about only booking one room, but he said it was all he could afford for now. I made sure to tell Rick to put two single beds in your room. That seemed to calm him down a bit." Helen then giggled a very infectious giggle. I couldn't help but laugh too hearing it. I then suddenly got the name of the Hotel.

"So, is this Hotel named after you?" she giggled once again.

"How'd you guess? Yeah, my grandfather named it after me because of my laugh. He said it was very infectious, and he would hope that the hotel would be just as. He built this place about 50 years ago. Me and my brother Charlie own it now."I smiled at her, seeing that she was proud of the little cozy hotel.

She then placed a plate of delicious pork and potatoes infront of me. A glass of what looked like whine with it. I didn't realise how hungry I was until the sweet smell touched my nose, making my mouth water.

"Dig in. You'll love it I'm sure."

I was in the middle of stuffing my face when Emmett finally awoke. He wiped the drool from the side of his face and tried to focus his vision. It settled on me as I shoved more potatoes in my mouth.

"Good stuff isn't it?" he said, his voice cracking twice from sleep. He growned and stretched. Looking over at Helen who was sitting across from me sipping whine.

"How long was I out?"

"Not long. I'm going to go turn the heating on in your room, you're going to need it tonight. It's getting cold as hell out there." she set her glass down and headed over to the edge of the bar and disapeared through a door. I looked over at Emmett who now rubbed his one eye furiously.

"Would you take it slow eating? Geez, you're gunna choke!" I simply shrugged and ate the last bite of pork. I pushed the plate away, and wiped my face. Something then suddenly registered in my mind and I whipped around to fast to look at Emmett, my whine glass tipped over and fell on him.

"You're staying with me?" I practically squeeled. He barely paid attention as he tried wiping off the staining red whine.

"Oh god I'm so sorry!" I grabbed a cloth and was about to wipe it. He quickly grabbed my arm.

"Uhm, Elizabeth? I think I'll do it." he laughed a little and bit his lip. It took me a second to register why he was laughing. I then noticed where the stain was.

"Oh, right." I let go of the cloth and sat back down. He sighed and began wiping.

"What happened here? I leave you two in my bar for two seconds and already there's a spill!" she giggled and started wiping the counter. I simply chewed on my pinky nail and blushed.

"Alright, I'm going to go get the luggage." he said, leaving the stain, knowing it was a lost cause. He tossed the towel onto the counter and went out into the rain, thunder clapping as he did.

"Hey, could you turn the sign to say Closed for me hun?" she asked as she cleaned my dishes. I got up and flipped the sign.

"Once he comes in you can just turn the lock button as well. So, you two together? Running away to elope?"

"WHAT?" I squeeked, knocking down one of the chairs balanced on the tables. She giggled and kept cleaning.

"No, uh no. I'm just...running"

"And he came along? Got yourself a devoted man. I'd keep him."

"Oh, no he's not my-"

"Whew! It's nasty out there!" he kicked the door closed as I blushed and put the chair back. I locked the door and stayed back.

"Alright, well, here's the key. You're in room 204. Second floor, third door on your left." we both nodded and headed up the stairs.

"Goodnight you two." We headed through the door beside the door and up the stairs.

"Two oh four, two oh four...ah! Here!" he struggled with the keys, still holding all the luggage.

"Here, I'll help." I unlocked the door for him, revealing a quante little room. A door to the left in the room led to a bathroom. I took my bag and set it on one of the little beds.

"Well, it's a good thing there's, you know, two..." He pulled at his collar and set his stuff down. I laughed and pulled out a pair of pyjamas. I turned around to see him still looking uneasy.

"Uhm Emmett?" he looked up, his face bright red. I stepped over to him, holding my clothes tightly in my hands.

"I want to thankyou. For staying with me. You didn't have to." He simply smiled and looked down for only a moment and looked back into my eyes.

"I couldn't leave you alone. That wouldn't be right." I smiled and looked into his eyes. Our smiles slowly slid off our faces as we looked into each other's eyes. I felt mine closing as his did, going closer to him. I felt my heart stumble in my chest, almost tripping over itself coming closer to his. I felt his breath hit my face, sweet whine filling my nose. There then was a huge flash of light and a loud crack in the sky. I screamed (More like squeeled) and grabbed his arms in fright. My eyes flying open and looking around the room. I looked back at him to see he jumped as well. We looked down at our arms grasping each other and stepped back quickly.

He suddenly cleared his throat and looked around the room.

"Well, I'm just going to uhm, go change." I quickly ran into the bathroom, closing the door behind me. I leaned against it and giggled to myself, trying not to be too loud, not knowing Emmett was doing to same thing on the other side of the door.
