Drive

Krizzia was asleep for one hour and when she woke up, she saw him driving. Wait, was he driving for the entire time? She looked at the time from her little wrist watch and found out that it is already three-thirty in the afternoon.

"Hunt, are you driving for the entire hour?" she asked as she took a glimpse outside. Though, she also noticed that the car's hood was open above. The air came through them freely. Some strand of her hair flew which needed her to group them altogether before placing them at her right side shoulder.

"I don't know where to drop you, so I kept on driving while waiting for you to wake up." he was sleepy and tired as well, but he's not that heartless to consider her, since she will become his wife. Unpleasant manners could kill a good relationship, so he began to practice his patience. It's not just about him, but about them also.

Krizzia squeezed her eyes, removing the sticky molds from her face as well. "I'm sorry, I fell asleep." she apologized. She noticed the tranquil picturesque ocean just beside the open road, same as the breeze that is giving them the same vibes. "So, where are we?"

"We just got out of the city, we're entering a carefree province." He stated. So, it explains the different ambiance of the place. The place is also new to her eyes. Hunt kept on tilting his head to stretch his neck. Meanwhile, she noticed him do that three times already.

"Would you like me to drive?"

He looked at her and was about to tell her that he was fine, when he accidentally yawn. He heard her chuckle. "Stop the car nearby, let me drive while you take a rest." Just like what she instructed, he stopped the car alongside the road to exchange places with her.

She drove the car while he took a nap. She was also careful while maneuvering the car, afraid of getting involved in an accident. However, it's been a long time since the last time she drove a car. It felt a bit weird, not so long, she was able to comfort herself at it and enjoy the time with a good trip.

She noticed the tank was getting low, so she stopped in a nearby gas station and filled the tank, it takes some time before going back to the road. It was already dark when Hunt woke up.

Though, the car was parked in front of seven-eleven convenience store, Krizzia is nowhere to be found, worried instantly arose beneath his chest. Having the thought of Krizzia getting kidnapped previously, he couldn't resist himself but felt a little bit nervous.

"Hunt, you're awake." Just as he. was about to get down from the car, Krizzia's voice resurrected in his hearing. He looked up to where the voice came from and found her approaching from the store, "I brought us coffee and some snacks. I drove for long and felt a bit hungry, so I decided to stop by." She handed him the coffee she brought for him before putting the plastics which contain some snacks at the back seat.

"I'll take over, you should rest as well." Since it's already dark, and it seems like they've gone far from their homes, "Let's just find some place to stay for a night, and eat dinner after. It'll be dangerous if we go back now, when we're both tired and restless."

Krizzia also thought about it, so... "Okay, let's go." she occupied the front seat and buckled her seatbelts on. Hunt pulled back the car's hood, before driving the car back to the road.

The province looked small and the accommodations are not as great as from the city, apart from that, most of the accommodation here was occupied by guests. It's Tuesday, but it is surprisingly occupied.

"Hi, may we ask if you still have a vacant room for two?" Krizzia asked the receptionist.

"Let me check for it a bit, Ma'am." the receptionist said as they waited patiently. "I'm sorry, Ma'am but we only have one room left. Are you going to take it?"

This is the fifth and probably the last accommodation they found that has a vacant room for a stay. Actually, it's a small motel. Beside the motel is a burger junction and a night club. She looked back at him as if asking him for a secondary permission.

"We'll take it." Right after they checked-in, the two of them decided to eat dinner at a nearby burger junction. They ate as they observed the people getting in and out from the noisy club.

"Will you be alright with the noise?" She questioned as she munched the cheesy burger. She ate three pieces already but still not full.

"It will be hard to go to sleep." He answered and sipped the soft drink through the thin straw. "Well, I guess the exhaustion would help us sleep." he added and took a bite from his spicy burger.

"But, we will be sleeping in one room. It will probably be awkward..." She trailed and avoided glancing at him.

Hunt smirked, "Then, bear the awkwardness until we get used to it." He suggested as if it was a normal discussion. Her face blushed. When Hunt noticed her silence, he faked a cough, "I mean, we will be getting married soon. We can't sleep in a separate room, you know. Let's practice that habit before our parents would suspect us." oh, great! Why was he explained by the way?

Krizzia understood him, he also had the point to be considered. So, before they went upstairs, she didn't complain and agreed with him even after the awkwardness.

She took a bath first, before him. But the problem is, she doesn't have spare clothes. She's biting her lip while thinking about the clothes until she spends the entire hour inside the bathroom, followed by a series of knocks which obviously came from Hunt.

"What takes you long? Are you alright?" he asked from the outside.

"Ahh... I'm sorry!" She bit her nails as she kept walking back and forth.

"Tell me, do you need any?" he was concerned even after her apology. It's been an hour since she went in the bathroom, it bothered him when she stayed there longer.

"Uhh... I-I don't have extra clothes..." She said, shyly.

Hunt was speechless for a second before coming up with a reasonable idea, "Wait for a bit, I'll find a store nearby." Hunt went out of their room and ran downstairs to find a store, luckily, he found one. It's just a local store but it would be enough for Krizzia to use than nothing. He brought her a pair of underwear and a simple free sized shirt with a thigh length short. He also brought himself before going back to their room.

Krizzia on the other hand was washing her clothes while waiting for him to come back, just right after she got done with a quick laundry, Hunt came back in time.

"I have the clothes you need here. Open the door and take it." She dried her hands first before opening the door.

Hunt was stunned, definitely surprised to see her with a towel only that covers her figure. His eyes were fast to see her exposed slender neck down to her chest. Then her thighs made him swallow hard.

'Damn, get a hold of yourself, Hunt!' he turned his back quickly, right after she took the plastic that contains the clothes she need.

Meanwhile, Krizzia was left confused at his reaction.
