Pulling Through

ROAD TRIP

Ally´s eyes were glued to the office´s clock on the wall as she sat behind her monitor, not even bothering to pretend she was working anymore. She watched impatiently as the seconds ticked away and the hour hand slowly approached the mark for the end of her shift.

When it finally reached the desired number, Ally killed her pc and promptly proceeded to gather her things around.

-Looks like someone´s in a hurry- Sara´s voice teased her from behind.

Ally turned to find Sara standing a few feet away, one hand caressing her heavily pregnant belly.

-Yeah… -Ally smiled at her- Gus is picking me up today, he has a gig outside of town and I don´t want the night to catch us on the road that soon on our way there.

-Well have a safe trip and a good long weekend- Sara replied waving her goodbye as Ally hurried herself through the entrance.

-Hi princess!- he greeted her as she climbed up into his van and gave her a quick peck on the lips.

-Hey handsome! How was your day at work?

-Good baby, good. But I´m kind of worried, Lauren says Christie´s been acting weird for a while now.

-Weird? Well, it´s not like she´s ever been much of a normal person anyway- Ally chuckled, reaching for the seatbelt.

-I don´t know, she says she´s been behaving oddly, acting exhilarated sometimes, only to shift to a mopey mood all of the sudden a little later… and she told me she´s woken up to find her gone a few times in the middle of the night. - Gus replied lost in his thoughts, scratching his beard- She sounded worried. We should pay them a visit soon, it´s been a while since we saw her, so it wouldn´t hurt.

-Whoa- Ally exclaimed tugging at her hair, frowning- You think she´s cheating on her?

-Honestly, I don´t know- Gus sighed- I don´t think so, it´s not her style at all… We´ll see.

He started the engine and they drove through the crowded streets. When they reached Saul´s and Jo´s place, the rest of the band, their girls, Charles and Aubrey were all already there, waiting. Gus parked by them and they jumped out of the truck, greeting everyone briefly.

-Hey man!- Saul cheered patting Gus´s shoulder- ready to go?

-Sure! Let´s hit the road!- Gus replied smiling.

Jo hugged Ally tightly before heading for Gus´s truck with her in tow.

-Let´s go girl- she said, shoving Ally inside- my mother in law is babysitting and it´s the first time I will be able to go out in a long time! I can´t wait to get wasted.

Ally and Gus hopped into his truck along with Saul and Jo. Oliver and Jess got into Charles´s car while Peter, Alex and their girls carpooled on Peter´s van.

They zigzagged slowly, bumper to bumper, through the heavily populated area and into the highway.

Ally and Gus used their time to catch up with Saul and Jo, all of them singing to Bad English and a few other cheesy tunes as they rolled down the road, each mile getting them closer to their destination.

When they finally got to the hotel, it was dark and a little humid outside. Tony was waiting at the entrance, his smile widening as he saw the vehicles park, one beside another.

They all got off and started collecting their luggage. Then, the entire group walked up to where Tony stood, rolling their suitcases behind them.

-Hi guys! Nice to see you again!- he said hugging Ally, Gus, Charles and Aubrey. Then he directed his attention to the rest of the party.

-And welcome! - he smiled shaking Saul´s hand- I´m so glad you could all make it. Let´s get you settled in and then we can all go grab a bite and some beers, we have a hell of a weekend planned ahead, you´ll see!

They all got checked in and placed their luggage in their rooms, before heading back downstairs and getting into the vehicles, following Tony´s hummer to a crowded bar and grill nearby.

Ally was starving and she lost no time attacking a plate of boneless and fries, downing it all with a couple beers.

-Ok guys- Tony started- taking a bite of a jalapeño popper- this is the plan… Tomorrow we start gently with Aubrey, Charles and Gus´s project as an appetizer to warm the people up and settle the mood- He smiled, looking at Saul- then we save your act for Saturday and make the place blow up for good, what do you guys think?

-Sounds like a plan- Aubrey happily replied raising her beer- let´s drink to that!

They all clinked their bottles and drank for a couple more hours, laughing and having some chips. Ally getting pleasantly tipsy as she watched them all having fun, she was so happy to see them gathered all together in one place again.

She joked around a bit with the girls and downed a few more beers, before they all drove back to the hotel.

-See you all tomorrow! – Tony called as he waved them goodbye from his truck- I´ll come and get you in the morning for breakfast, there´s this place I want to take you all to.

He drove away and they all entered the building.

Ally dragged her feet heavily inside their room after Gus opened the door. She lazily got off her clothes and stood by the mirror, starting to clean her make-up away from her face.

Gus closed the door and unbuttoned his shirt, taking it off and sliding his pants down his legs. He walked up to her in his black tank top and boxer briefs and Ally checked him out blatantly while she kept her eyes on his reflection.

He reached her from behind and started kissing the nape of her neck, sending tingles all the way down to her core and she moaned in response.

His hands traveled through her breasts and down her belly, soon reaching the hem of her panties, he hooked his finger unto them and inserted his hand below, his fingers running through her folds briefly, spreading her juices as Ally fought to keep finishing her nightly skin routine.

She gave up a minute after, letting the pad slip from her hand and turning to face him.

-f**k it, I´ll just get some Botox if my face ends ruined up.
