The conversation had fallen into an easy lull, relax and chill playlist soft in the background.
My focus very much on the winding road ahead of me, glad of the stop half an hour ago to stretch and snack at the rest stop.
I can hear your breathing starting to shift. Getting deeper and slower. I smile to myself, pleased. I really enjoy driving, and doing it smoothly and gently enough to lull a passenger to sleep feels like a great win.
Though, the next few kilometers are really winding, so I’ll have to work hard to keep you that way.
I hear you shift in you seat getting more comfortable.
Haha, challenge accepted, I think to myself.
As the corners roll by, I hear your breathing start to shift. Shorter, more irregular, almost whispered gasps.
I wonder if you’re dreaming.
I steal a glance. Your eyes are definitely shut.
One arm up against your chest, perhaps you fell asleep while adjusting your seatbelt. The other down between your legs, slightly parted, since your skirt has ridden up a little, I can almost see your underwear.
I don’t linger, returning my full focus to the road.
Glad that you seem comfortable.
