Road Trip (Leg 1, Part 4) Wigwam Motel

Tori:

[The hotel in Holbrook wasn't that far but before we checked in, a store run was so very much going to be needed. As well as another bowl before lights out.] Any special requests?

Peter:

-pops my brows when you start to laugh before giving in to my own chuckle- I’m not even gonna argue. Because you’re right. -opens your door for you, and waits for you to get in before shutting it and leaning through the window for one more kiss. Then jogs around to the other side and hops in, eager to get our asses back on the road toward that hotel and a store along the way- I bet you can guess? -glances over at you with a smirk- Doritos and Kool-Aid. They make those little packets that you can dump into a water bottle.

Tori:

You want tropical punch or grape? There's also cherry too. And we will need beef jerky. Oh, nacho cheese and cool ranch! [Nodding in agreement with you, there really were some things that were just staples and Doritos, was one of them. Even before you had jogged around and got into the bus, I had wanted to keep you leaning in through that passenger side window, the possibilities endless when it came to the list continuing to form despite you being the distraction that you were.] We need something chocolate too, remember?

Peter:

You know what I miss? -glances at you again- Sharkleberry Fin. That flavor is so damn hard to find anymore. -shakes my head as I ponder the injustice of it- But cherry or strawberry sounds good too right now. -reaches down with one of my hands to pat the ice chest- We are also out of the special brownies. So good call on needing something chocolate. -takes that same hand and moves it to rest on your thigh, giving a playful squeeze-

Tori:

Sharkleberry Fin! That sounds so good right now. [The truth was, I hadn't had that flavor in so long. The mere mention of it brought back so many childhood memories that a pang of nostalgia hit me hard and I tilted my head your way when I felt the bus roll to a stop.] That really is one of the best flavors. I'll see if they have it! [The day had turned to night once again and as we pulled up to the convenience store, with our list of delicious stoner snack foods in hand, I got out of the bus ready to stretch my legs with you. Waiting for you to lock up, I took a look across the street to see our home away from home for the night and smiled wide, thinking it was going to be pretty awesome once we were checked in. The sight of it something straight out of the 1960's itself.]

Peter:

-walks up behind you, wrapping my arms around you, and placing a kiss to the side of your neck before following your eyes over to the motel- Honestly, I’ve always seen this place and wanted to stop in. I’m glad I waited for you to do it. -places one more kiss against the side of your neck before letting you go and catching your hand to lead the way-

Tori:

I've heard they are really old. Perfect for if you want to get lost for a little bit and stretch out! Plus I just think it would be cool too. [Leading the way, I smile as I tug you along and into the store, grabbing up one of the push baskets.] We're going to need stuff to grill out and 3 cases of water.. Ice.. [One by one, I pushed the cart, looking around and gathering our supplies with you.] Have you ever tried peyote, mine?

Peter:

-allows you to take the lead, following along as I eye the shelves for anything we may have missed- That’s the cactus hallucinogen, yeah? -shakes my head- I don’t think I have ever tried it. -casually tosses some Twinkies in the cart- Have you?

Tori:

It is. Native Americans have used it for thousands of years. You can make a tea out of it like shrooms. Or dry it out and smoke it. There's a few other ways too. [I flashed the clerk a bright smile as we spoke, passing by on our way to the produce to grab up some fruit. Blueberries especially were calling my name.] I've done shrooms more times than I have peyote. Uncle Jerry's shroom tea is the best. Oh, the Kool-Aid! [I almost forgot and circled back around, grabbing up some little cuties too.]

Peter:

-nods thoughtfully- I’ll have to let you pop my cherry with it then. -smirks at my phrasing as I fall back a little, briefly distracted by a car on the cover of one of the magazine, and then quickly catching up again- I’m also curious about the shroom tea. I’ve had that before. But I’ve never had his. So… -winks at you before leaning down to scan the different types of Koolaid available when we finally find them-

Tori:

Just think, we go back in time, in this very spot, meet up with Jerry and before you know it, we'll be seeing those dancing Grateful Dead bears, mine! You'll be in safe hands. [Man, it had been so long since I seen them. All of them, the bands and as we made our way back to the front to pay, Kool-Aid crisis diverted, I thought about the blast we would have scoring some shrooms on the trip.] It's happening now, mine. [Laughing and finally paying after the clerk bagged it up, I head back out to the bus with you, wanting to wait until you've checked us in to take Rilla out for his nightly walk with keys in hand.]

Peter:

-I couldn’t help but grin wide at the image you were painting. A part of me tempted to say let’s go now. But then I reminded myself that there would be plenty of time to do everything we had on our list of adventures. Offering a jerk of my chin to theclerk as I gave a little wave on our way out, I followed you to the van- You got this while I go check us in? -gestures to the bags, and when you agree, reaches into the bus to scratch Rilla’s head- Anyone comes near our girl, you know what to do. -smirks at you before pulling you in for a quick kiss, and jogging across the street to procure our own private teepee-

Tori:

[Giving your ass a smack before you got away completely, I called out to you as you crossed the street.] Don't worry! We got this! [That kiss still lingered not only on my lips but also in my mind, my gaze on you for the longest before I turned back to Rilla to fasten his leash and let him jump out, bags loaded up now.] You'll just Brandy their ass like in the movie Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, huh? Just got to click the roof of my mouth and it's on like Donkey Kong! [I had no doubt Rilla would protect me, or us. Our four legged son was on the clock so to speak until you came strolling back our way, the flashing light from the key in your hand and that smile, a dead giveaway that all was right with the world, at least for tonight.]

SUMMARIZER

- Blstar Josol

The kitchen at six was bright andcheerful, but Zale was scarcely aware of that as she cleans the house for Abdu.Everything showed how good she is in housekeeping.

Abdu gave a little thought to suchthings. He goes to his job at the carpentry shop cheerfully returning at nighttired but cheerful, accepting the food prepared by Zale.

With one last look around, Zale tiptoedto the spare room took her suit. She went to the kitchen and left a note of hertaking a day off.

Zale reached the station and took aticket at the counter. There she saw Saudari, theclerk and the one pursued her in the past but she didn’t pay attention to. Atrain then comes and gives her a feeling of relief. After getting on the trainand settles down, she then read the torn article she had from drum. She putsdown the paper and sighed. She is still undecided to what she wants to do.

The train stopped at herdestination which gives her a quiver of excitement and wished she has plans forthe day. From the station she went to the Kiriakoo, alarge market with Indian bazaars and people ran in out of the place.

Zale was about to enter the placebut her hat was blown by the wind, she rushed to get her hat and her hair slowlyfall from her head. The people were amazed by her beauty but she stillcontinued to catch her hat until a man picked up her hat and held it out toher.

She thanked the man and theychatted at the bench. She also told the man that she was only here to seethings and that she’s a married woman. The man then asked her if where she willgo first. She told him that she had a plan but the man suggested that she wouldgo to a memorial museum. Zale hesitated but then agreed, then the man escortedher there.

As they come out at the cathedralZale remembered what she wanted to do. She wanted to cut hair but she had nocourage to do so. The man encourage her to do so but she was afraid that Abdumight not like it. Zale then remembered the article she had read, it wassimilar as to what the man says.

Then they went to Rainbow Hotelwhere talked over there dessert and coffee. As they were chatting Zale told theman about the article that encouraged her to have a day off, and that led herto talk about her life. She also told the man how she married Abdu, and of howshe wanted to sell the house but then Abdu objected about it.

They talked and talked until theman remembered that she haven’t told her name to him. The man then told hisname was Dick and Zale told also her name to the man.

After they have told each otherthere name, Dick told her his story. He told her about how he married his wifeKate, of how they used to play in their childhood days, and also about what theyboth liked.

He also told her about the accidentthat changed his life, of how Kate got crippled so badly and played that shecould never walk again, and of how he could not take care of Kate because onlythe doctors could do it.

After they had done chatting theyshook their hands and parted.

As they parted Zale remembered aboutthe idea in the article, her hair, she must have her hair cut. She saw a barber’sshop and run into it. After she had cuther hair she ran into the station afraid that she mighty miss the train. With oneminute to spare she sat and she closed her eyes feeling nervous. Then sheremembered the day with Dick; and yet there were excitement in the thought thatshe was on her way to Abdu.

As she entered their house, therewas silence long enough to make her wonder about what questions she had toanswer. But when her husband appeared, and all she could say is that he hadn’teaten his supper yet.

Abdu muttered that he was nothungry and he heard that the train is coming and she would returned but yetagain he confessed that he does not want to eat alone.

Zale smiled to herself and felt suddenlyolder and wiser than he, for she had done what she always wanted to do so.

She then told Abdu that they willhave supper together.

As they sat down Abdu told her thatshe missed her and how she was a little different, and that she should not goaway like that again.

Zale then laughed and promised himthat she would not do it again.
