Road Trip

The current time is 2:37 A.M. and my "travel buddy" is asleep. We ended up leaving astonishingly late because Soul is a procrastinator.
He waited until the last minute to try and find a pet sitter for Nix. Obviously we couldn't find one so now there is a cat getting fur all over the back seat of my Jeep.
I reach over and tug on his sleeve until he wakes up. He repositions himself so that he is sitting more upright. He turns and glares at me.
"What do you want?" He asks.
"I want to sleep but that's not gonna happen. Sit up and suffer with me." I say determined.
Soul sits up and plays with the radio until he finds a station he likes.
"What the heck?!" I say. You just don't play with a mans radio.
"If I am going to stay up with you I am going to need music, and not that crap that you usually listen to." He says while yawning.
The radio settles down on some soft rock. Alright. I wont fight about that.
I smile to myself because I know the truth.
As far as he knows we are on an tropical killing spree to Florida and his first trip to the beach. While in reality he is going to help me kill a low rank demon that has been causing my owner some trouble. I think he would help if I told him the truth but he might start asking questions and I can't have that.
Soul brings me back to the current situation when he starts singing along to a song on the radio. How to describe this... I think a dying cay would sound better.
"Fresher, like its the first semester. Rock it like Queen when I'm under pressure while the rest of these cats, all siesta, get loose like change when its on your dresser" Soul is singing/rapping along with the radio. I can't help but to laugh. He glares at me.
"What? You think you can do better?" He challenges me. I lick my lips and wait for the next verse, which happens to be faster.
"Explosion
Take it like rust corrosion When it goes in GOOSH like you bust a nose in
Competitors
I was born to set it off
They wrapped me in cloth
I grabbed a mic and went on tour
Smash it, Back in school I was a hazard Cause I never saw the glass, Man, I just looked past it Had a passion that burned like battery acid Peter Parker, bit by some radioactive." I stop there and breath in practically gasping.
Once I catch my breath I look over at Soul and I was expecting him to be laughing but he is totally straight faced with a look of admiration. This face scares me.
"What- is that look for?" I ask, still out of breath. He gets a crazy grin on his face.
"I have a great idea." He says as he digs out his MP3 player. Oh no.... He hooks it up to my stereo system and turns to some crazy music that I have never heard before.
"What is this crap?" I ask, casting questioning glances at him. He looks a little embarrassed.
"K-pop. To be more specific the song that's about to come on is "Fantastic Baby" by Big Bang. It was something I took in place  of someones soul. They offered me an experience and it certainly is.." He says, his voice trailing off. The music starts and its some techno tune that is sort of catchy. The lyrics start and they are in some other language... K-pop.. Korean pop music.. Now I get why he looked embarrassed. Here and there I catch some English words mixed in.
"I can't, Baby don't stop!" The radio plays. My eyes widen in surprise and suddenly  I feel like I am listening to something a little risqué...
"Mama, just let me be your lover" The radio continues to corrupt my ears. I drive on with wide eyes and fight the powerful urge to laugh. The song is final over and Soul turns to look at me.
"What do you think of K-pop? I think that would be a fun karaoke battle." He states. I consider the route that I can take comment wise though I really don't want to tick him off because this is a long ride and would be awful if we weren't on good terms. I finally decide what I will say. I turn and look at him, steeling myself, and say
"Wow, Fantastic Baby.".
".............."Soul goes wide eyed and silent. His face gets slightly red but I can't really tell because of the darkness outside.
"..............?" I remain silent with a questioning air...
"Whatever, just go back to sleep." I say trying to erase the past 20 minutes.  Soul bursts out laughing.
"HAHAHAHA! Oh my gosh! You are a dork! I love it! Haha.." He squeals in delight. I smile to myself. Geez... That could have been a lot worse.
 

Dear Readers,
Here at The Life of Soul Thief we have had some serious problems going on behind the scenes and that caused a delay on the second half of this chapter. I promise to deliver sometime before next Sunday so don't worry.
Thank you for reading and enticing my murderous mind :)

~Soul
