Ch.7
Shifting gears Corania drove to their next location. Reaching over she scanned through radio stations and found one she liked. Humming the song she pulled on her blue tinted glasses and turned onto the road. She was hoping that a gas station was near since they were low on gas. Corania was feeling pretty good after the fun they had at the diner. She would visit again if she was ever in the area again. The weather was perfect no clouds in the sky and the sun was shining bright on them and a good breeze was going. Pulling up at a gas station everyone hopped out and stretched their bodies.
"Alright, I'll go put gas on the pump and everyone should go to the bathroom. I don't know when we'll see another one." Corania said.
The store was pretty clean and the selection of snacks were good too. walking up to the register so she could pay for the gas,"Good afternoon sir, I would like to put $50 worth of gas on pump 2, please." she asked the cashier. He was a middle aged man who looks like he suffered from premature balding and greasy skin. She could tell given the red and acne covered forehead he was broadcasting.
Giving her his best smile with his yellowed shaded teeth he slicked back his greasy hair and placed his beefy forearms along the counter.
"Hmm you need gas aye?" He asked her
"Yeah on pump 2." She said again while holding out the money.
"You sure are a sight for sore eyes baby. You lookin real nice. Real nice." He stressed out while taking the cash.
Corania decided not to answer and went around the store and picked up some chips. She stopped when she came across the freezer section. Opening she grabbed a couple of drinks closing the doors with her hip she gasped when she saw the sleazy clerk behind her. He was pressing against her and making her uncomfortable.
"Is there an issue?" She asked while trying to step back but she couldn't given she was pressed against the fridge.
"No problem at all little lady. You want that stuff?"
"Yeah..."
"Well if you do me a favor, I'm sure you can get that free of charge baby." His breath wafting in her face.
Scrunching her face in disgust she was about to curse him out. When he was yanked off of her.
"Get your hands off of her." Grant sneered his eyes were hard and angry.
"Mind your business boy."
"She is my business asshole."
The man lunged and went in to punch Grant in his face, but he fell short when Grant moved to the left. Grant returned the swing full force hitting the guy square in the jaw. The man slid back and hit the shelves behind him that contained chips. Bags of chips scattered everywhere some bags falling open on the impact on the ground.
"Grant, please we should go." Corania said her hands clutched to her chest. She had never seen Grant so angry before and he just had assault someone, yeah he deserved it but they could get arrested.
"I'M GOING TO HAVE YOU ARRESTED!" The man screamed while clutching his nose. Red bleeding through his fingers.
Panicking Corania grabbed Grants hand and ran out of the store. Throwing opening the drivers side she didn't even worry about the fact that they didn't get any gas and that this trip was just going to shit.
"Corania look..." Grant started to speak
"Be quiet." She responded to him voice firm and angry.
"Where are the snacks man?" Jace asked while looking up from his phone.
"Where get some later." She said and didn't say anything else.
Driving for some hours she stopped at a motel and got some rooms so they could rest up for a couple of hours. Giving the key to Jace and Alice.
"Grant can I speak with you? Corania said while closing the trunk
"Yeah of course."
Alice and Jace didn't even care what was happening and just went into the room. Once the door was closed Corania turned towards Grant and frowned
"What the hell were you thinking?" She asked
"I came into the store to see why you were taking so long. And I see that scumbag touching on you!"
"I could handle myself Grant! What if he press charges. They probably have a camera in the store." He voice shook towards the end
"I don't want you to get in trouble."
"I know you can handle yourself, but I care about you and I want you safe."
"If he wants to press charges and though he sexually assulted you he can and I will rain legal fire down on him. I'm the heir to billions Corania and a sleazy store clerk isn't a match."
Corania knew that Grant didn't like talking flaunting that he was rich and that his father was a powerful force and his words did comfort her.
Nodding her head she reached over and wrapped her arms around him and hugged him tight.
Grant closed his eyes and took in the feel of her and swore that he would do anything for her.
