body.
Then she ' d roll over ; her leg would kick out or her arm would come toward me. Yeah , totally not going to let you know how some of that stuff affected me.
Then when I ' d finally fall asleep ... she ' d snore. It ' s not as bad as Aspen made it sound and I know that ' s not really supposed to be a big turn on or anything , but yeah , it was , okay. It ' s cool she feels comfortable enough around me to sleep and not worry about it.
Still , I ' m tired as hell today and glad we ' re not going to be driving too long. We decided to keep with the original plan to stay in Salt Lake even though we ' re a day late getting there. That will give us some more time to hang out and have some fun.
It wasn ' t very easy for the others to explain to their parents why we didn ' t go there last night , but it all worked out.
Bastian and I have already loaded the car with the stuff and he ran to see what is taking the girls so long.
I lean my head back , playing with the keys while I wait for them to get down here. A few minutes later , Bastian jumps in the back beside me. Aspen ' s taking the first driving shift today.
" They ' re on their way ," he tells me. There are a few minutes of silence which when it comes to Bastian , I know it can ' t be a good thing. When he speaks again , he confirms it. " So ... about you and Pris. "
I can ' t help it , I start to laugh.
" What ' s so funny? " he pouts like he ' s famous for.
" You . A ren ' t you the one who ' s always saying not to ask about other girls? " He used to give me crap when I asked him about some girl he was hooking up with or whatever. Not that Priscilla and I are doing that , but still. I have to take my shots against him where I can.
" That ' s different. This is one of our girls. "
His words make my stomach hurt. They shouldn ' t because she is just as much his girl as she is mine. They ' re good friends just like we are , but it makes me feel like puking. " There ' s nothing to tell , Gossip Girl. We talked. We ' re cool and that ' s that. "
Luckily , I see the girls coming to save me from Sebastian and anymore questions I don ' t want to answer. They head to the back of the Explorer and I get an idea. I elbow Bastian who looks at me funny , but waits to see what I ' m going to do. We keep facing the front. Once they finish getting whatever they needed , I hear the rear door close , I hit the button to make it pop open. One of the girls grabs it and closes it again. The second it clicks , I hit the open button again.
" What the heck? " I hear Aspen say. I can see Bastian biting his cheek so he doesn ' t laugh.
" Do it hard. Maybe you have to slam it? " Priscilla replies to her.
This time they slam it so hard , it practically vibrates the Explorer and my finger jabs the button making it pop open again.
" Jaden! " Priscilla shrieks . " You dork! "
By now Bastian and I are rolling in the backseat we ' re laughing so hard. I have no idea how she knew it was me and not him , but it ' s funny as hell.
" Do it hard! " I toss back at her which makes Bastian start to laugh even louder .
Priscilla gives me a dirty look when she climbs into the passenger seat , but I can see a smile trying to peek through. " You need serious help. "
" Are you kidding? That was classic. "
" You guys totally have to listen to our music for that. "
" And close the hatch! " Aspen adds.
Still laughing , I get out and close the back door before tossing the keys to Aspen. A few minutes later , we ' pull onto the street and a harmonic a comes through the speaker before some guy starts singing , his voice kind of gravely , but somehow smooth at the same time.
" Umm , what the hell is this? "
" Our music . It ' s Bobby Long. " Priscilla doesn ' t even look back when she replies.
" Bobby who? "
" You heard me. "
" Argh. We ' re in for a long few hours , man ," Bastian says from beside me.
" Word. "
By the time Aspen pulls onto the freeway , it cuts into another song about some
