Team Building

Lester called everybody to his office "I have an important announcement"

Everybody trooped up to his office, and with a look of confusion on their faces, they started to mumble and gossip about what in the world was going on.

Becker mumbled into Jess 'ear "This can't be good…he looks too happy"

Jess giggled and smiled at him. Once in Lester's office everybody was told the reason for them being there.

"For reasons that are perfectly well known…you are all going on a team building course for 2 weeks."

Jess groaned… "TEAMBUILDING! Isn't that sitting in a muddy field with only one toilet singing campfire songs…urghhh I HATE campfire songs"

Becker put his hand around her shoulders and said "Don't worry, Jess, it will be fun" then he added innocently "you can sleep in my tent if you like…"

Everybody turned to stare and Becker and Jess who were both blushing un-naturally.

Lester raised his eyebrows and looked at the couple "errmmmm…Is there something going on between you two…or" His fingers gestured between the two of them "Because if there is something going on…I'd rather you embraced that in private thank you very much"

Becker and Jess, naturally, sat next to each other on the plane. She innocently leant her head on his shoulder and sighed "I didn't realise this place was in LA"

"Neither did I…" As soon as Becker said this, he knew what was coming next.

"You can come shopping with me!" Becker tensed his jaw as Jess said this.

"Urmmm…no thanks Jess" For some reason he KNEW he was not going to win as she blinked her big blue eyes at him.

"C'mon…I've needed a new dress for months"

"What type of dress?" He was almost afraid to ask.

Jess grinned at him, suggestively "A very short one" She winked at him.

"Oh…dear god"

"And…you're willing to give me fashion advice?"

Becker wasn't sure what to say "In that case, I'll get you to buy the shortest dress in the whole shop"

Matt leant forward and put his head between the two chairs. He smirked and said "you'd love that wouldn't you captain?"

Becker's fist connected with matt's face and pushed him back to his own seat.

"Ooooh" Jess smiled "I agree with Matt"

Becker grinned at her as she put her head back onto his shoulder "Don't make me punch you too…"

Before they knew it, it was 10pm and they had arrived at their destination. The room, to their horror, only had two doubled beds and one small single one in the far corner. Connor and Abby walked over to one of the double beds and Abby said "Me and Connor will share a bed"

"Okay, that leaves me to have the single bed and you and Matt to share one" Jess said to Becker.

"I ain't sharing with Matt, no way!" exclaimed Becker.

At these words Matt ran over to the single bed, jumped onto it and said "I'm already asleep, you two will have to share"

"It doesn't matter Jess, I will sleep on the floor" said Becker.

"You don't have to" said Jess.

"Fine then! I will crawl in with Connor and Abby, won't they be pleased!"

From somewhere in the darkness Connor shouted "Get your own bed, mate!"

Rolling her eyes, Jess said "Oh, Becker you are so slow. Neither of us are sleeping on the floor, in Connor or Abby's bed or in the bathroom"

"Oh Jessica you are being very unprofessional "he was teasing her and she knew it.

"I will tell you were to stuff it in a second" said Jess.

"Feisty!" exclaimed Becker.

"Oh Becker this is going too far, I'm tired and I just want to get into bed". So they both climbed into the remaining double bed.

After what felt like an hour, Becker thought that everyone was asleep apart from him so he whispered into Jess' ear "I love you". Apparently his analysis of the room was false and everybody else was indeed awake and heard his emotional statement.

From across the room Matt shouted "Get a room" and everyone giggled. Becker felt a cushion collide with his face.

Jess sat up and shouted "Pillow fight" to the dark seemingly empty room around her. Everybody sprang to life and ran around the room to grab the nearest pillow. In the excitement, Connor grabbed hold of Abby's head and attempted to throw it across the room.

"Best holiday EVER!" Declared Jess, clutching hold of Becker.

And then he leant over and kissed her. And Jess' heart grew wings and flew up to heaven.

The next day, they woke up due to Abby's laptop vibrating. "I see you all have all had a nice sleep" came a voice though the speakers.

"Arghhhh" Connor shrieked "Lester leaves us alone"

James Lester's face came into view on the laptop screen "It's not wise to tell your boss and employer to leave you alone... however I will ignore that last comment". Everyone stared at him. Lester continued "I trust the sleeping arrangements were to your satisfaction"

"Urm yes" said Matt and everyone looked round at Jess and Becker. They were still asleep and nobody dared to wake them because they knew if they did Becker would probably rip their head off. And they did really look happy, they were both smiling in their sleep and Becker had his arms held protectively around Jess. This, everyone thought, was weird because as cold as he was at work, he seemed like a normal guy in bed with Jess.

Lester grimaced "Anyway" he declared you're next task is slightly strange. Girls" he addressed Abby "tell jess when she wakes, that her outfit is in the cupboard with yours.

Abby walked over to the cupboard and picked the two outfits and shoes out of it one considerably brighter than the other. She walked into the bathroom to change.

Lester was ready to continue when Jess and Becker sat up and got out of bed.

"Jess" Connor said Abby has your outfit, you're changing in the bathroom.

Jess didn't say anything but she winked at Becker and strolled off.

Becker sighed "she's so pretty when she sleeps" he said "the little angle with fluffy hair and…" he broke off "arghh" he pointed at the laptop "you could have told me that our boss heard me talking about Jess"

"Well" coughed Lester "I'll just pretend I never heard that, bearing in mind" he added "that these videos are sent to the minster. Would you like me to delete that last bit?"

"Yes please Lester sir" said Becker. With that Jess ad Abby appeared, both of them were wearing low cut tops, very short skirts and high heels. Jess' was pink and green and Abby's was black and white.

So" asked Abby "what are we going to be doing wearing these?"

Lester carried on "An obstacle course has been set up for you"

Becker grim "I rock at these"

"Ah" said Lester "this will test your team abilities and chivalry. You have been teamed up with people you are comfortable with. The teams are as follows; Jess and Becker and Connor and Abby. Matt you are excused due to lack of team members"

Matt grinned "I'm off to a café then" and he walked off.

Becker stopped and asked "Why do we have to be mixed gender groups?"

Lester sighed "It's so that you don't take advantage of them. Well we are assessing whether you will take advantage of them and their short outfits and high heeled shoes"

"So we have to keep these heels on?" asked Abby.

"Yes" answered Lester "Bye now, a car will pick you up in about 10 minutes.

"I can't wait, this is going to be so fun" said Jess running over and hugging Becker "we are going to make a great team, aren't we?" she gave him a playful punch on the arm. Becker smiled and Jess added "maybe you should put a top on though" because Becker's pyjamas only consisted of baggy black tracksuit bottoms. Becker and Connor walked off to get changed.

20 minutes later they arrived at the course, it was surrounded (to their horror) by walls so you couldn't skip an activity and as was explained by their instructor (Bill), the door was shut at the start so when you were in, you were in and there was no going back.

"Connor and Abby take your marks and go!" shouted Bill and Connor and Abby ran off.

30 minutes later Connor and Abby finished, they were tired and dripping with sweat. So much so, Abby looked like she had entered a wet t-shirt completion.

"Becker and Jess take your marks and go!" shouted their instructor and Becker and Jess ran off, Jess tottering beside him. Jess and Becker were about half way thought (or so they thought), they had ran, climbed thought, over and under obstacles Jess struggling way more than Becker in her heels but pulling though. Suddenly Jess' heel broke and she collapsed.

"Arghh my ankle" she said but got back up and started to walk limping along, wincing every couple of steps "leave me Becker, go ahead and beat them!" she exclaimed.

Becker examined her ankle and said "It's only a twisted ankle" then he shouted "No, this is about team work" with that he picked Jess up and hoisted her up into a fireman's lift on his shoulder.

"No" shouted Jess, beating his back with her fists.

"Yes" said Becker and carried her to the end, which was not as far away as they had thought. When they were at the eng Becker collapsed, Jess landing on top of him, his sweat covered body hot yet friendly against hers.

"Your time is 40 minutes" said their instructor and with that Connor and Abby gave each other a loud high five "you may have lost the time part of it" added Bill "but you win because Connor and Abby here" he pointed an accusing finger and Connor and Abby "were fighting the whole way!"

"Oh Becker" said jess with a dreamy look on her face "you're my hero, you saved my life!"

"Jessica, stop over reacting, I didn't…" Jess stopped him talking by kissing him on the lips.

"Okay, Connor and Abby you will go off with Paul and meet Matt to do some more activities and Becker and Jess you're with me" said Bill and Abby, Connor and Paul walked off.

Becker and jess were lead to the ocean and were left "You won so you get to stay on the beach" bill had said before he left them.

Becker and Jess had changed and were lying on towels for their room. "So" Becker lay down next to Jess on here towel "do you want to go swimming?"

Jess blushed at his gaze "actually I, I can't swim"

Becker stared at her "Really?"

Jess gasped as he lifted her up from her towel and carried her over to the water. "What are you doing?" Jess squealed.

"I'm teaching you how to swim" Becker said as carried her closer into the ocean.

Jess screamed as the icy water touched her skin, her skin was freezing due to the lack of coverage because of her tiny bright blue bikini. Becker carried her in deeper and deeper and when he could carry her no longer, he let go and placed his hands round her waist reassuringly.

"Now kick with your legs" he said into her ear so quietly it sounded like he was trying to seduce her.

Then all of a sudden he started sinking, dragging Jess along with him- he was being pulled deeper into the clear blue water below. Even though the water was perfectly clear neither Becker nor Jess could see who or what was pulling him in. even thought she couldn't swim, Jess pressed Becker's hands harder on her hips and kicked as hard as she could. Finally the thing holding him let go. Becker went to the surface and swam Jess to the shallower part of the water, sat on the bank with her and felt the water lap at their legs. He grabbed her and kissed her. "Now this time you saved my life" he said.
