Ashley tapped her heels impatiently, waiting for Terry, Jezza, you and Andy to sort out the bags to fit in the car. "Hurry up, and be careful with my things!" She says, applying lip gloss.

Andy looks at her with a raised eyebrow, dropping the bag he was holding. The bag falls, but Jezza catches it in time before it hits the floor. Andy rests a hand on his waist, looking at Ashley defiantly. "That's not how it works, bitch. You're gonna take that fat ass of yours and help us pack our bags." He nods at the bags behind him.

Jezza wipes the sweat dripping from his forehead after putting the bags in the trunk, stretching his back before turning to Andy. "No, never mind, love. The bags are already in there." He hugs Andy, trying to calm him down.

You and Terry finish arranging the bags on top of the car, and he says, smiling as he points to the roof with the bags. "And here too! Ta-da~" He looks at Ashley, earning an eye roll from her before she gets into the car. The poor guy wilts, but receives a comforting pat from Stella. Then everyone starts getting into the car.

When she looks at the car she sees that it only has five seats, of which are now all occupied, she looks exactly at you who is sitting on the right side of the car door. Before anyone can say anything, Stella smiles and sits on your lap, closing the door beside her. "You don't mind, right?" She settles into your lap, her back against your chest as you pull your arms up to wrap around her waist in a hug.

Two hours pass. So far so good. But halfway through your trip, you hit a bumpy road, which makes the car bounce up and down - and the result is Stella bouncing up and down on your thighs. You're best friends, no big deal, so it's okay. But you notice the slight trembling and twitching of her body, the blush on her cheeks and ears noticeable even though her back is to you.

Seeming to notice your gaze, Stella turns her face and looks at you over her shoulder, her grip on the sides of your thighs tightening. The rest of the group seems oblivious to this: Jezza and Andy are chatting amongst themselves in the front seats, Ashley is looking out the window bored and Terry is playing a game on his phone.
