The car ride was depressing. It was Posh, Brittany, Jamie, Kim, Ashley, Kyla, and I all piled in Jamie’s suburban with Raife following us in the Volvo to Atlanta. Waking up at been terrible; knowing that this was the last time for four weeks that I’d get to wake up with Ashley was enough to make anyone want to die. She had woken me up with kisses though so that wasn’t so bad. Now though she and I were piled up in the backseat, so close together that we were practically one person. Kyla was steadily ignoring our displays, preferring to talk to Posh while Brittany slept; they apparently hadn’t got much sleep the night before.

                “What am I going to do for four weeks?” I asked, brushing my fingers over her cheek as I tried to memorize her features.

                “School, and soccer, and we’re going to be texting constantly.” I chuckled, leaning in for about our hundredth kiss that day.

                “God, I feel like you’re going to be gone forever.”

                “Just don’t be dead while I’m gone okay? Go out with Kyla, go to school, try to socialize, don’t lay in bed listening to depressing music all day.” Oh, she knew me so well.  

                “I’ll do my best.” She laughed and kissed me again, sliding her hands down across my ribs over my shirt. I still shivered at the touch and moved to deepen the kiss, much to Ashley’s approval. She grunted and pushed me backwards so that my back was on the seat and she was laid out on top of me. The fact that we were in a car full of people didn’t bother me one bit as I buried my hands in her hair, trying to pull her impossibly closer. Her hand snaked up my shirt to cover my bra covered breast and that was apparently the last straw because something was thrown at Ashley, knocking her lips from mine.

                “As hot as that was your sister is requesting that you two don’t fuck in front of her.” Posh said, peering over the seat where my face had turned a deep red. Ashley scowled, picking up the pillow that was thrown at her head and chucking it back at Kyla. She turned to look back at me with a small smile before sitting up and bringing me with her. I wrapped my arms back around her waist and kissed the edge of her jaw with a small whimper.
