Sleeping With The CEO

At the beginning of their journey. Emily had held on to the hope that they were not going anywhere too far. That wherever it was that Derek had decided that the two of them just had to be. It was at most around 30 minutes out of the city. Given the slow, leisurely pace that Derek was driving at, she had assumed that that would be the case. Emily had never known him to be patient when it came to long car trips, so she had been banking on that. As it turned out, she had been very wrong.

Her mistake had been in assuming that, Derek, just because he hated being cooped up in a car for too long while working. Would also hate the feeling when traveling for leisure.

Clearly she had been wrong. In her defence, Emily had held on for as long as she could. She had lain in her seat, her eyes closed.

Just enjoying sensing things around her. Then she had even taken some time to enjoy the music. Singing along with Derek until that too had gotten boring. Then of course she had passed time by feeding him. Not stopping until she was certain that he was satisfied.

Only then had she turned to herself, enjoying the snacks that she had brought along with gusto. But now Emily was beginning to wonder if maybe she should have saved some of the food, and water that she had brought along.

They were inching closer to the hour mark. Trees and buildings that had been off in the distance, were now disappearing behind them. But still Derek showed no sign of slowing down or stopping. He drove and drove until Emily began to feel antsy. What if Derek’s idea of going out was actually a cross-country road trip. What if he had decided that they needed to go over the border in order for him to show that he could be romantic.

Just to be on the safe side, Emily decided to just go ahead and ask Derek.

"Where exactly is it that we are going? As scenic and peaceful as this drive has been. I think it would be even better for me if I knew what the final destination was," She told him. In response he shrugged. The car slowing down a bit.
