Chapter 18: Chapter 18

Calvin parks his car on the side of the road before jumping out without a word. I don't have the energy to ask him where he was going so instead I close my eyes, grabbing a five minute nap. I welcome sleep with open arms, willing it to heal the soreness and aching in my muscles.

The loud slam of the car door jolts me awake and I bolt upright, my eyes wide. Once I notice Calvin, I relax, my eyes narrowed and blinking as they re-adjust to the light inside his car.

"Gheez, don't try and stay quiet for me considering I'm sleeping." I murmur unhappily, resting my head against his heated seats.

"Shut up, sleeping beauty. I got you this." Calvin says, thrusting a pizza box my way. The smell instantly wafts in the air causing my stomach to grumble loudly. I grin widely, already feeling myself brightening up.

"You bought me pizza? Okay, I don't hate you so much now." I tell him, tearing open the box. A cheese pizza with olives, vegetables and chicken greets me and I drool.
