Vivian grabbed a cigarette and looked around for a matchbox or a lighter. Seth still had the lighter she bought him when they took a trip to Rome. A topless mermaid where the light came out of...well, it was a topless mermaid. Tossing the lighter back on the table, she grabbed her bags and dragged them to the front door.
Seth had somehow managed to get up from the floor, but there was little progress after that. He stuck his head in the sink and let the water run through his hair. She grabbed him by his collar and pulled him up. "Come on."
"I haven't packed yet. Did you take one of my cigarettes?"
She was still grabbing his wrist, trying to pull him to the front door. "I grabbed a few things for you. Do you ever fold your fucking shirts? You never could dress yourself, could you?"
She grabbed the bags and dumped them back into Seth's hands. He wobbled a bit, and grinned. Vivian wrinkled her nose and frowned. "Your breath smells like booze. There's no way in hell you're driving."
Seth just laughed. "Sugar, you're disobeying probabtion, and I've got a record. A DUI is the least of our problems." He leaned back to his full height. "Besides, there's one thing you forgot. You can't drive a stick."
He continued grinning, while Vivian just curled her lip. "Just don't fucking kill us on the way there."
Two minutes later, things had not improved. Seth like to hear his music, and Vivian had to shout to be heard. "Can we please turn the radio off?"
"It's Johnny Cash, sugar. 'And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when...'"
Vivian began fumbling with the radio. She use enough force to twist the dial off. "I haven't been on a vacation in the past two years, you know. Want to know the two songs I heard the most while in jail? 'Folsum Prison' and 'Jail House Rock'. So if you play any Cash, Elvis, or even the fucking Blues Brothers, I'm going to find that sawed-off shotgun and blow holes in you little Chevy P.O.S."
Seth didn't miss a beat. "Yeah, about you and shooting cars..."
"Fuck. You."
"Yes ma'am."
The drive to airport seemed very long indeed.
