The next morning Jarod woke to find her gone. He threw on his clothes and opened the door. He ran right into her.
"Where are you going in such a hurry?" She asked.
"No where." His heart clamed down.
"You thought I was gone, didn't you?"
"The thought did cross my mind."
"Relax. I went for breakfast." They headed back in the room. Jarod sat down on the bed as Parker pulled out some donuts. "I got you some coffee." She handed him the cup in her hand.
"Thanks." He took the cup from her and opened the donuts. He glanced over at her. "Where's yours?" He replied with his mouth full.
"Oh, I wasn't hungry."
After he downed the food and coffee, "I guess we better get going."
"Yeah."
Parker walked over the driver's side. Jarod gazed up at her. "I'll drive. Unless you think I might drive you back to Delaware." She laughed.
He handed her the keys.
"I thought you might be tried of driving." She opened the door and hopped in. "Buckle up." The engine started and they were off again.
******
Hours later, they entered Texas. "Where to first?" She asked her half a wake passenger.
"Restroom." He answered.
Parker pulled over to the next rest stop. Jarod ran in. Parker went into the visitors center while waiting on him. He came in shortly.
"What are you looking at?"
"Maps." She grabbed a few things and off they went again.
"Let's ride horses."
"Horses?" Parker asked.
"Yep. That sounds like fun. I never got to ride when I was a kid."
"Okay. Horses it is." They found a riding stable nearby.
******
It was late and they needed a place to stay. "Look for a motel."
"Okay, genius. Give me time."
Jarod pulled the car in a motel after Parker pointed several out. They got in their room.
"I'm tried. We have done everything that a person can do in one day." Parker sunk down on the bed. She pulled off her shoes.
"Me too." Jarod sat down next to her. He laid back on the bed. "What do we do tomorrow?"
"What have we not done today?" She fell back on the bed. She rolled over on her side, staring at the Pretender. "I think we forgot to eat something." Her stomach was making noises.
"What you do want? There are several places to choose from." He grabbed the phone book.
"Something that delivers."
"Come on. We are on a road trip."
"I know that is why I want to save some of my energy for tomorrow."
"Pizza it is."
"Fine with me."
******
After a couple of days in Texas they moved on.
"I think we should try Memphis."
"Why?"
"It's a nice town. Besides, Elvis is from there."
"Jarod, I hate to tell you but the King is dead."
"No." He joked. Then he turned toward her and smiled. "Let's go anyway."
"You're driving."
******
After a few stops on the side of the road to pee and get gas. They made it to Memphis.
"Bye, Arkansas." Jarod replied as they crossed the line. He saw a bill board for Beale Street. "Hey, let's check out Beale street."
"Have you ever heard the blues?"
"Yep." They headed that way since it was the first stop.
They left Beale Street, Graceland, and Memphis Zoo. Jarod looked over at his partner in crime.
"I keep seeing bill boards for Tunica."
"Tunica? Jarod we have to rest sometime."
"We can cross the line over to Mississippi play a few slots, maybe eat a bite and headed back over here for the night. What do you say?"
"Sounds like a plan." Parker kicked her feet up on the dash board.
******
Late in the night, Jarod and Parker made it back to Memphis. Found a room and called it quits for the night.
"What do you want to do tomorrow?"
"I don't care but you know I have to make my way home soon."
"I thought we were having fun."
"We are but Jarod you know that I can't stay on this road trip forever. I have to go back to reality."
"Why? This is so much more fun."
"Jarod."
"Okay. Let's get cleaned up."
After they showered they kicked back on the bed to watch the TV. Jarod stared over at her, his hunter. "Parker."
"Mmm." She stared at the TV.
"Remember when you said that you could go far many times."
Her head quickly turned toward him. "Jarod....?"
"I was wondering how a person can reach that climax and how long they stay at that point?"
"Jarod, I don't think...."
"Parker, I not saying we have to do anything. I was just asking."
"I don't know how to explain it. Can we move on to something else?"
"There's a movie on channel 11." He decided on a different subject.
After a while of silence he decided on sleep. "I'm going to turn in." He yawned.
"Do you mind if I finishing watching this?"
"No. Go ahead." He rolled over.
As the movie came to the end Jarod raised up.
"Did I wake you?"
"No. Bathroom." He stumbled up and went across the way to the restroom. When he exited back out the lights were out and crawled back in bed. Parker felt the bed go down on the other side.
"Jarod?"
"Mmm." He answered.
"What are you doing in my bed?"
"Your bed. I'm in mine."
"No. Yours is over there." She pointed. It wasn't long until she heard snoring. "Forget it." She climbed out of hers and went to his.
The next morning, Parker rolled over and felt warm air hitting her neck. Her eyes popped opened. Jarod's face was just inches from hers.
"Jarod!" She yelled.
He jumped up. "What?"
"Would you quit following me?"
"I'm not following you. You are in my bed."
"Yeah. You were in mine last night. Get out!"
"You."
"I'm not leaving my bed."
"Fine. Let's just get up. What time is?"
Jarod looked at the clock. "3:00 am."
"It can't be. It seems later than that."
"Well, it is. Now lay back down. You're warm." He grabbed her pushing her back down next to him.
"I'm not sharing a bed with you."
"Are you scared something might happen?"
"Yes."
Jarod raised up. "You are."
"After listening to you last night."
"You think I can't keep my hands off of you or something? I should be the one that is worried."
Parker laughed loudly.
"What is funny?"
"You."
"Let's don't fight. Go back to sleep." He laid back down.
Parker fumed for a while then before long she was asleep. The next thing she knew the light was coming through the cracks of the curtains. She tired to raise up to see the time but she had a heavy body laying across her. She hit his arm hoping to wake sleeping beauty but all she got was a grunt.
"Jarod!" She said several times before he opened one eye and looked her straight in hers.
"What you doing under me?"
"That is a good question." Her blues eyes focused on his brown ones.
Then as he started to raise up his lips came closer to hers.
"Jarod."
"Shh." His fingertips brushed her soft lips. "We both want to know what it is like to sleep with the other." He whispered.
"But can you walk away from this?"
"Can you?"
"It's easier said than done." She began to relax under the Pretender.
"I guess we will find out." His lips took hers at full force. She wrapped her arms around his neck as their tongues fought control of the kiss. He moved slowly and gently down her neck. He pulled her shirt over her head. He kissed the curve of her soft shoulder as he moved to one breast before moving to the valley between her breast. His fingers massaged her nipple causing her to get excited as he took the other breast into his mouth and sucked lightly. She moved her body to met his as he continued to move south. He had the rest of her clothes off in a matter of minutes. He ran his hand down her leg and back up stopping at her inner thigh. He kissed the inside of her thigh then to the top of the black hair. He glanced up into her eyes as she watched him. He then ran his fingertips down and inserted them into her wetness between her legs. She let out a groan as she flipped him over and played the same trick on him. She ran her pointer finger over his hardness as a grinned escaped her lips. She raised back up to met his lips. She took her tongue and licked his neck. She freed him from his boxer and took him. He met her every thrust. His fingers rubbed her as she moved faster on him almost sliding out and then back in. His hands reached up and pulled her back down to him. She kissed his chest as he rolled her over. She wrapped her legs around his waist and held on tight as he kissed her from the neck to her breast. Her fingers ran down his back to his ass. Then moved to the front of him and massaging his balls. He let out a scream as she touched him in the right spot. He moved faster and harder causing her to moan as loud. He found her lips one last time before falling exhausting onto her hot sweaty body.
"Parker."
"Shh. Don't say a word."
He looked up at her. Her eyes spoke, 'Hold me'. He took her into his muscular arms and held her tight. He kissed the top of her head as he brushed her wet hair from her face.
They fell asleep.
******
Hours later, Parker woke still laying in his arms. She moved, hoping to wake him.
"Morning." He kissed her.
"Jarod, about earlier...."
"I know. It was earlier. Nothing more."
"I'm sorry. We both know it won't work."
He sat on the edge of the bed. "At least we will remember what we had." He glanced over at her.
"Always." She whispered. She got up taking nothing to cover her naked body. She headed in the bathroom. Jarod heard the bath water running. He tapped on the door.
"Can we at least shower together?" He asked.
Parker stared into the mirror, trying to look past what had just happened in the next room.
"Parker?"
The door opened. "I don't know if that is a good idea."
"Come on. The book says what happens on the road stays between us."
She couldn't resist those big brown eyes.
******
An hour later, they left the bathroom. They had towels wrapped around them.
"I think I missed a spot." Jarod touched her bare shoulder and kissed it.
"I don't know how. You washed every spot at least twice maybe more."
"I couldn't help it. I wanted you to be clean." He grinned.
He grabbed her and they fell onto the bed. He kissed her neck. As he was making his way down she stopped him.
"Jarod."
"Mmm." He kissed her shoulder again.
"I think I should take a plane home."
"What? Why?" He looked into those icy blue eyes.
"Because it would be better on both of us."
"I don't know about that."
"I do. I think I should take the afternoon flight."
"You were already planning this, weren't you?"
"I just checked into it, just in case."
He got up from the bed and paced in front of her. "Well, I guess the closer you are to Blue Cove without me is better." He stopped and looked down at her. "What time does the flight leave?"
"5:00."
He glanced down at the clock by the bed. "We have six hours to get ready. I know what we can do to pass the time." He grinned from on ear to the other.
"Jarod!"
"What? I was talking about finishing seeing the sights."
"Oh."
"What did you have think I was talking about?"
"Same thing." She quickly got up and dressed.
******
Jarod stood at the airport with her. "Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Flight 403 to Delaware is now boarding." The announcer said.
Jarod pulled her close to him one more time.
"I have to go."
He didn't let go of her.
"Jarod?"
"I know." He kissed her for the last time.
She walked toward her gate and glanced back at him. She ran back into his arms. "It's not like it is goodbye. I will see you again."
"I know." His voice sadden.
"Final call."
"Go." He pulled away.
"No regrets." She whispered in his ear as she backed away.
"Me either!" He shouted as he watched her disappear. He stood at the window until the plane disappeared into the clouds.
******
Broots and Sydney walked into her office carrying a small package.
"Your back. I see." Sydney smiled at the beautiful woman seating behind the desk.
"This came for you." Broots handed her the small box. She opened it and saw many different kinds of chocolate staring back at her.
"Chocolate!" Broots got excited.
"Puddin Hill?" Sydney asked.
"It's a small place on the out skirts of Texas." She replied with a smile.
"Oh. I see." The older man turned to leave. "Broots."
"Oh yeah." He followed him out.
******
When Parker got home she found a box sitting on her coffee table. She sat her things down and quickly opened the box. She found ticket stubs to all the places that her and Jarod had visited, along with her little treasures. As she went through the box her phone rang.
"What?"
"Did you get my stuff?"
"Jarod." A smile crossed her lips. "Yes."
"I thought you might want some souvenirs from our road trip."
"Thanks." She whispered.
"You're welcome." He hung up the phone and walked away from her house.
The End!
"Where are you going in such a hurry?" She asked.
"No where." His heart clamed down.
"You thought I was gone, didn't you?"
"The thought did cross my mind."
"Relax. I went for breakfast." They headed back in the room. Jarod sat down on the bed as Parker pulled out some donuts. "I got you some coffee." She handed him the cup in her hand.
"Thanks." He took the cup from her and opened the donuts. He glanced over at her. "Where's yours?" He replied with his mouth full.
"Oh, I wasn't hungry."
After he downed the food and coffee, "I guess we better get going."
"Yeah."
Parker walked over the driver's side. Jarod gazed up at her. "I'll drive. Unless you think I might drive you back to Delaware." She laughed.
He handed her the keys.
"I thought you might be tried of driving." She opened the door and hopped in. "Buckle up." The engine started and they were off again.
