-Chapter 4-
-(Media: Optimus's Holoform)
"Cathrine, Wake up", a gentle but strong voice awoke me back to reality instead of my dream land. Not recognizing the voice, I instantly thought it was Luke.
"ugh", I mumble, rolling onto my side before speaking up again, "You know Luke, I had the strangest dream last night", I paused and continued not giving Luke a chance to speak, "About an autonomous robotic organism or something like that" , I waved my hand in the air dismissing the dream.
I was then nudged, "That wasn't a dream Cathrine"
'wait... that is not Luke's voice', I thought dumbly and slowly before realization slapped me across the face and my eyes shot open revealing my Dark brown eyes while I jerked upwards, hitting my head on what seemed to be a dash board, "Son of a-"
"No swearing", My head flew rightwards making my neck ache at my sudden movement, I looked at the radio where the voice came from. Oh yeah. That's right. It wasn't a dream.
I groan out-loud while rubbing my head as it ached from hitting it hard against the shiny and perfected wooden dashboard, "Are you alright Cathrine?", Optimus's voice laced with concern.
"Could be better to be honest", I state before stretching and looking over my shoulder. A gasp left my lips, my body became frozen in terror, "Where's my mum!?", I yelled at the radio.
"calm down. calm down. I had escorted her to her bed while you were recharging", Optimus explained and I slowly nodded. The word 'Recharge' must mean sleep, well so I figured.
"What time is it?", I ask Optimus not bothering to check my self as I rubbed the tiredness out of my dark brown eyes.
Luke had gotten the hazel eyes which were mix of mums and dads eyes colour where I had gotten dad's dark brown eyes. Luke got his blonde hair from mum, where I had my dad's sandy blonde hair. Luke got the mix of mums and dads features. I had mostly gotten my looks from dad.
"It's 1:37am in the morning, I presume humans are usually asleep at this time", Optimus spoke up breaking me out of my endless thoughts.
"Yeah but I'm not tired", I blurt out, looking out the passenger window.
Optimus did some mechanical hum before I heard some fizzling and sizzling. I didn't really focus on what he was up to as I stared outside the window, looking up at the stars.
let's just simply say; I sucked at starting conversations and keeping them going.
I was literally worried about Luke. what if he was doing something stupid with the twins?. What if he got hurt?. What if-
"What is troubling you Cathrine?", Optimus asked but it seemed that his voice was more... Closer and less mechanical now.
"That you are not calling me cat", I replied smoothly and turned to face him but in stead of seeing a radio my nose bumped into another nose as my dark brown eyes stares into bright electric blue eyes.
My heart stopped and my breathing became fast and uneven, it felt like all the oxygen had left my lungs while shivers crawled down my spine like no tomorrow as goosebumps appeared on my arms and legs. I couldn't pin point the emotion I was feeling at the moment.
We both blinked at once but neither of us had moved. I soon came to realisation that this was Optimus's holo-form. He had brown hair that had blue highlights, perfected tanned skin and his... Stunning electric blue eyes that could make me melt any second- ugh no!.
'Cathrine stop!', I screamed in my head, I mentally head slapped my self.
"I don't like Calling you cat", Optimus spoke up, his warm breath went across my face making a faint tint of pink appear on my cheeks.
"Uhm-I", I choked out before quickly gaining the self-control to pull away and move to the passenger door.
Optimus tilted his head to the side making him look like a cute lost puppy. not understanding and being oblivious to the world, "did I do something wrong Cathrine?"
There he goes using my full name again.
"No just. surprised me.", I said slowly, tapping my fingers on the door.
He blinks before speaking again, "what would you like me to call you, besides Cat and Cathrine"
I thought for a moment before speaking, "call me Cathie, your own special name for me", I slightly laughed as his eyes brightened as if he liked the sound of what I had told him.
Optimus smiled brightly. It seemed he didn't smile often but should, a smile suits his features like no tomorrow. Optimus nodded in agreement on what I had said.
"Of course, Cathie"
And for some strange reason, the way he said my name and the way my name slid off his tongue made me feel like my insides were suddenly on fire and were melting in a good way. I slowly got out of the truck once recovering, whilst bidding my good byes and rushed inside my house.
