(Kayla's POV)
I awoke to Louis's muscular arms carrying my limp body towards his truck.
"Well hello there sleepy head" He said as he looked down at me and stopped walking.
"You can put me down now, I'm awake." I said as I pushed away from him.
"You're not going anywhere!" He said as he grinned and looked into my eyes.
I quickly laughed and gave in, falling limp in his arms as he picked up the pace and started jogging towards the truck. With one arm he held me and with the other, he opened the door and placed me into the warm truck.
Laughing, Louis walked around to the driver's side and jumped in.
"How long was I sleeping?" I asked, embarrassed as he pulled out of the beach.
"Maybe half an hour?" He said, looking over at me.
"Oh, wow." I said quietly, looking out the window at the beach.
"Will you tell me what you were dreaming about?" He asked, almost as if he knew. "You smiled a little when you were sleeping."
"Oh, I don't remember." I replied, lying.
"Okay." He said, seeing right through my lie.
(Louis's POV)
My eyes kept drifting from the road and towards her perfection and pure beauty.
As the sky grew darker and darker we started to look for a place to stay. We searched for what seemed like hours before we found a small motel on a side road, about a mile from the highway. As we walked in, I saw a small lady standing at the front desk. Her soft smile and pale skin looked oddly familiar.
"You sit, its on me!" I offered as I nudged Kayla toward a small sofa in the corner.
She softly smirked and plopped down onto the old couch.
"Excuse me miss, I would like a room for two." I said to the small woman behind the counter.
She looked up at me in shock. Her eyes grew bigger and bigger as she whispered "Louis?"
"Um, ye-" She interrupted by running around the desk to scoop me into a warm, cozy hug.
"I'm your great- aunt, oh my I remember the last time I saw you. You were just so tiny and little, oh lord I don't expect you to know who I am." She said, holding my face in her hands.
"I'm sorry, but I don't remember you" I said with disappointment as I looked at Kayla, who was staring in confusion. "We can catch up over breakfast tomorrow, if you'd like?" I offered.
"I would love that! Here, the room is on me." She said with a genuine smile, handing me a key.
"Thank you" I replied with a smile as I turned and walked toward Kayla to get our bags.
"Who was she?" Kayla said in confusion as we walked down the hallway.
"She said she was my great aunt, we're catching up over breakfast tomorrow, are you going to come?" I stated.
"Sure, I'd love to." She replied with a cute smile.
"This is our room." I said, pointing toward a small brown door at the end of the hallway.
Quickly, Kayla shoved the key into the door and swung it open. The room was small and had only one king size bed. The windows were covered by heavy, orange curtains and the carpet was stained with blotches.
"Well, this is nice." I said, strongly using sarcasm.
"Eh, I've stayed in worse." Kayla replied, plopping down onto the bed.
"Well, it's about ten and I'm starving. Let's go to the lobby, I saw a vending machine and a small buffet" I offered, holding my hand out to her.
"Oh yeah, we forgot to eat." She said giggling as she took my hand and I lead her into the hall.
We ran down to the lobby and each got our dinner. We sat on a little couch, next to a big, front window and ate in silence. Finally we walked back toward the room.
Stopping in the hallway in front of our door, I grabbed her hand and stopped her from going into the room.
