You, Me & The Road

TW: murder

Closing the windows when he felt the cold night breeze slipped into his car, Adrian Wilson was driving his blue Ferrari in the middle of the highway that lead to Fraser Island. He wasn’t really a fan of traveling overland as he didn’t like to sit in the same place for more than an hour, he’s easy to be bored after two hours of silent driving, but this was one of Emma's biggest wishes, to have an unforgettable honeymoon on Fraser Island. So, who he was to refuse any of her requests?

The moment he thought about Emma, he moved his head to stare at her for a second before returning back to driving his car on the road that was suspiciously empty at this time in the evening. As the clock was past eleven, and since Emma was the type who liked to wake up early, she was now asleep on the passenger seat next to Adrian, but because she had been absent for more than two hours, this nap became a long deep sleep so Adrian smiled at this. Emma always has the habit of sleeping anywhere and in any position, as she sleeps now in his car in an uncomfortable way, leaning her head to the window side.

Getting worried that she might wake up with a convulsive neck; Adrian lowered the seat a little so that Emma fixed her position automatically in her sleep. After he had stabilized the seat for her in a slow motion, he returned to staring at her anxiously fearing that he had woke her up, but she was still sleeping and her face reflected a very peaceful expression. She must be dreaming of something very pleasant so that she doesn’t feel anything else around her, such as the cold weather of the evening, or that Adrian's driving speed became a little quick in a hurry to reach their destination. By thinking about this destination, Adrian couldn’t stop that wide proud smile that lighted his face brighter.

The road was empty enough so that he won’t be distracted by looking at the cars every second and another. Rather than that, Adrian put one hand on the steering wheel and with the other found its way towards Emma’s, as her took one of her hands very carefully so to not wake her up. Adrian brought her hand close to his mouth before planting a kiss on the back of it. He still can’t believe that this beautiful woman, who is now riding along with him, has officially become his wife, had it not been for the fact that he could see the matching ring between their fingers; he wouldn’t have believed such a fact. Everything happened so quickly, but the happiness that was brought along due to this event doesn’t seem to be faded soon.

Adrian kept on looking at their hands for a long satisfying moment before he put it on his lap while he continued driving. He was now driving to that house that he rented on Fraser Island so he could spends a lovely vacation there with his wife, the wife who he married less than five hours ago. He has fulfilled her wish to go together to Fraser Island and by that he also fulfilled his wish to live the rest of his days with her. He is so happy that a fact like the he hates long driving didn’t seem capable of affecting his mood. And why is his mood should be affected by this? Today is one of the best days that will remain in his memory forever, so Adrian won’t mind driving for hours, it’s her, him and the road, so what would he need more?

He then started to think about the things they would do as soon as they arrive to Fraser. He thought about the trips they would go to together, the memories they would share, the laughter that would fill up the place, and the embrace that would occupy the emotional void that was filling up his life recently. No more sadness. Since his wife is Emma Robinson, the woman who visits him in all his dreams every day, nothing else will separate them after that, nor anyone, ever, not even that jerk Bobby King.

Adrian felt the blood flowing strongly into his veins by just thinking about the name of this jerk Bobby King, who liked his wife as well, and who was playing with Emma's mind with all the lies he told her that he loved her and so on, and who was also thinking of kidnapping his wife is from him in the church in the middle of their wedding ceremony. Bobby who helped her escape from Adrian on their wedding day, and because of him Adrian had to take the gun that he was hiding in his suit to kill both of them.

Yes. This was the truth that Adrian tried hard not to think about. The fact that Emma was more afraid of him than that she loved him because he was a mafia boss, and that’s why she planned with her friend Bobby King to run away from him on their wedding day. But she did not know that Adrian knew everything about her. He also knows that she was lying to him when she agreed on marrying him, and he also knows that she wanted to escape from him with the dreaded Bobby King, so Adrian got blinded with anger over her betrayal of him and he killed them both.

He didn’t know what happened to Bobby King's corpse, but he was sure that the police may have found it now, and they must be looking for Adrian and Emma since the traces of her blood are still there, so Adrian carried his dead wife, Emma, in her wedding dress and put it in his car before turning away from the crime scene. He tried to think that the day is still normal and that he is still with his wife, whom he loves so much, on their way to live their dreams even if one of them isn’t truly alive.

Adrian lifted her hand which was very cold and lifeless compared to his before he planted on it one last kiss. He continued to drive the car in the middle of the road that ends at the cliff of Fraser Island. And till the end, just like how he planned for their future to be together forever, it was her, him the road.
