Bucket list
Chapter 5
Alex grabbed his laptop, logging in quickly before loading the internet up. His eyes kept darting from the screen, pleading that Erin didn't walk through the door. He new exactly what he was searching for, typing frantically into Google and scrolling through all the results on the screen. He found a decent looking website, clicking on it and finding the phone number at the bottom of the page. Closing the door so that there was no chance of Erin hearing him, he dialed the number, waiting patiently to hear a reply.
'Hello is this Mr Jacobs? Hi I'm Alex and I wanted to ask about booking one of your rental camper vans?.....'
Erin woke up suddenly, allowing her eyes to adjust before realising she had fallen asleep on the sofa. Stretching her arms, she went to lay back down when she heard a loud crash followed by Alex screaming 'Shit!' Erin ran up the stairs to find the bedroom door was jammed. She tried her hardest to open it but it wouldn't budge.
'Alex?? What's going on??'
'Nothing!' He yelled, 'It's a surprise!'
Sighing, Erin just assumed Alex had broken a glass or something because he didn't sound hurt. She went back downstairs to make herself a cup of tea and some toast.
Alex groaned, looking down at his bruised leg. Only he could drop a suitcase when trying to lift it off the self! He opened it up, filling it with all the couples clothes except one outfit for him and once outfit for Erin. They didn't really own many clothes so it wasn't a tight squeeze. He added his laptop, the couples phone chargers, Erin's camera and all her favourite books, before grabbing his guitar and placing it in its case. He quickly changed into the jeans and Blink 182 t shirt he had left out of the case for himself, before grabbing Erin's handbag and filling it with the everything on her personal shelf: Makeup, wig, deodorant, jewelry. He made a similar bag up of his own toiletries before hiding the bags and suitcases under the bed.He took Erin's outfit, and white flower patterned dress with a knitted cardigan and combat boots, downstairs with him.
'Baby I need you to get dressed into this outfit.'
Erin looked skeptical, before asking him, 'Why exactly?'
'My surprise you silly, pleaseeee?'
She giggled, taking the clothes from him.
'Well okay, just because it's my favourite dress.'
He smiled going upstairs and silently taking each bag downstairs one by one. He gave Erin her bag so she could use her makeup and things as she got ready.
It wasn't long before there was a knock at the door and Alex ran to get it. It was Mr Jacobs, a short chubby man with bright red cheeks and a cheesy cartoon like grin.
'Hello there you must be Alex?' He beamed.
'Yes thank you so much for coming her on such short notice.' Alex smiled, grabbing his wallet to pay for the rental camper van.
'It was honestly no trouble, I hope you can succeed in making your wife a very happy lady!'
He left just as Erin entered the coridoor, clearly confused by the look on her face.
'Alex whats going on seriously?'
'Baby. I'm taking you on a road trip.'
