closeness was all he wanted. he wanted to be close to someone without them getting hurt because of him. but he was in the comfort of her arms, embraced in a gentle passion. those thoughts seemed to fade into the void.
nimble fingers comb through his the back of his hair. her hold on him is soft; she has no present desire to be anything but. it’s been a long time since someone was really sweet with her, she doesn’t want that too end too soon.
he never second guessed what she said only questioned the intentions of the sudden need to travel. he embraced the feeling of the open road, the freedom it provided the wanderlust filled souls that travel upon its dusty roads. he couldn’t help but grin as the chilled feeling of his keys graced his skin as he put them in the ignition and setting off down the road with the blonde at his side..
« go go go go!»
she urges, as if she’s meeting any resistance on his part. with the dust kicking up ahead of them, & her hair flying around her face, she feels more free than she has in a long, long time. as the bar gets smaller and smaller in his rear-view mirror, she relaxes. finds her hand reaching for his, like a reflex.
❝ i can’t tell you how to live your life, jo, but i think you should do what you think is right for you. you have a choice in this matter. for me, i didn’t. ❞
❝—… alex. tell me something. if i decided that i was going to go…. would you come with?❞
ʜᴇ ɢᴇɴᴛʟʏ tugs her out the door, strolling quickly toward his car. there was a smile on his lips the entire way.
once outside, she doesn’t give the roadhouse a backward glance until her hand hits the handle of the car door. her heart thumping, she gives him a reckless grin, before ducking inside.
