I got off the airplane in a Texas airport, it's been about 4 months since I've been on one. I was happy to finally do some more lockdowns with the guys. And speaking of the guys there they are
"Candy! It's so good to see you again" Aaron said coming over to me and giving me a giant bear hug and I returned it
"I'm glad to see you too Aaron"
Incase you guys forgot I called it quits with Zak about 5 months ago and moved out of 'Sin City' to Mesa, Arizona so we could have some space away from each other. I can't tell you how bad I felt about leaving them but it was for the best. After being in Mesa, Arizona for a couple of months I found someone who's just as caring as Zak, his name's Jeff. Anyway back to the lockdown at hand here...
Aaron and I let go of each other and then I hugged Nick
"How are you doing?" I asked him
"I'm doing good, I'm glad to see you're back to normal...By the way how's he treating you?"
"Like a princess" I said smiling while letting him go
I looked over at Zak with a sad smile, I knew by the way he was looking at me he had just heard what Nick said
"Hi Zak" I said softly
"Hey Candice"
"You can call me Candy again if you want to"
Sometimes I think I was to harsh on him when I saw him kissing his ex, Christine, and when he told me it was my fault for losing our baby...And other times I think I wasn't harsh enough
"How ya been?" Zak asked putting his hands in his pocket
"I'm doing good...How are you?"
"I've been better"
I looked down suddenly interested in the cracked floor
Why? I thought raising an eyebrow
"Why the hell are you wearing bright red shoes?" I asked scrunching up my face
"Because red is awesome" he said in a 'duh' tone
"No it's not, Cerulean is" I said sticking my tongue out playfully
"What's cerulean?" Aaron asked
"It's a shade of blue" Billy whispered to him hoping that I didn't hear Aaron's question
"You don't know what cerulean is?" I asked not believing that he asked that question
"It's a shade of blue" he chuckled nervously while scratching the back of his neck
"You only know it 'cause Billy told you"
They all chuckled and we grabbed our suitcases and made our way out of the airport and to the rental car. About 3 hours later we arrived at our destination... Sugarland, Texas.
"Where are we investigating again?" I asked holding on the back of the driver's seat so I could be up closer to the front
"We're going to the Central Unit Prison...Will you please seat back now? I don't want us to crash and you go through the windshield" Billy said
"Didn't that place close down recently?" I asked sitting back
"Yeah, and it'll be torn down soon too" Zak said
"Why are they tearing it down?" I asked
"They want to make more room for something...So we have to do a thorough investigation because we're the only ones that will be investigating it before it goes to the ground" Zak said
billy parked in the hotel parking lot and we all got out with our suitcases and went inside to get our rooms. Our rooms were all near each other, Billy got 506, Nick got 508, Aaron got 509, Zak got 511, and I got 512. Once we got into our rooms I called Jeff
"Hey Candy, was the flight ok?"
"It was fine Jeff, how was your flight?" I asked
If you're wondering what Jeff does for a living well, he's a director/producer. Not just any director/producer though, he's produced and directed MTV's Jackass plus the movies, Wildboyz, Ridiculousness, Fantasy Factory, Nitro Circus, and a few other things. How in the world did I start dating him? I have no idea, it's a strange world
"It was delayed do to thundrestorms but I made it, where did you say you were going? Sugarland?"
"Yeah, it's a small town, it's got a few restaraunts that we're going to try out, a little Wal-Mart, a grocery store, and some convenient stores"
"That is a small town, which restaraunt are you going to first?"
"I'm gonna get the boys to take us to Big Mamma's Homesmade Foods, while I was on the plane someone told me that it was delicious"
"I hope they weren't lying to y-"
I heard some chaos in the background, then a pained groan, and then hysterical laughter on his end
Guess he's at the office I thought
then there was a knock on my door I opened it and it revealed Zak. I moved to the side to let him in and he came in and sat in one of the chairs in the kitchenette
"Jeff, are you ok?" I asked worriedly
"I'll be fine" he said with a groan, "I wanted to ask you a couple of things"
"What would that be?"
"Where are you investigating? You never told me"
"Oh, sorry, um it's um... What is the name of that place?" I asked to myself
"Central Unit Prison" Zak whispered
"That's right, Central Unit Prison" I said with a thank you smile to Zak
"A prison?"
"Yeah, we don't know much about it until tomorrow, what was your other question?"
"How would you like to be a guest star for an episode of Ridiculousness? I'm planning the guests for the new season that we're getting ready to shoot in about a month and a half"
Me be a guest? I thought then looked at Zak
I was I looking at Zak, I didn't need his permission and besides he's been a guest on other shows before, including the news.
"Sure, when do you want me to be on?"
I heard him messing with papers
"Can you make it to California next Thursday?"
"Actually I can, we've got an investigation near L.A that week"
"Alright, I'm going to let you go, I've got to kick someone's ass"
"Ok, love you" I chuckled
"Love you too, bye Candy"
"Bye" we then hung up
"So... You've got a boyfriend I take it?"
"Yeah and your point is?" I asked slowly
"Nothing, congrads..." he said with a hint of sadness in his voice, "We were all thinking about heading out somewhere to eat, wanna join?"
"Sure, can we go to Big Mamma's Homemade Foods?"
"Big Momma what?"
"Big Momma's Homemade Foods, I heard it's good"
"That's a long name for a restaraunt but yeah, we can go there... And I hope I'm not going over any bounderies but the name Jeff sounds familar"
"There's alot of people named Jeff Zak" I said grabbing my jacket, "Just like there's alot of people named Zach, with different spelling"
"I know that"
we headed out of my hotel room and went to the lobby where the others were. Once we met up with them we headed to the restaraunt. All of us got out of the extended SUV when we got there and went inside. We sat ourselves down and pretty soon a woman that looked to be in her mid 40s with shoulder length blonde curly hair came to our table
"How may I help ya?"
"I would like a water" Zak said
"Coke for me" I said
"Sprite" Nick said
"Coke" Aaron said
"I'd like a water" Billy said
"I'll get that for you and then come back to get your orders" she said and left
"I heard you have a boyfriend Candy" Aaron said smiling
"Yeah"
"What's his name?"
"Jeff"
"What does he do?"
"I don't feel like playing 20 questions Aaron and besides how'd you know I had one?"
the waitress came back with our drinks
"What can I get y'all to eat?"
"The homemade macaronni sounds good" Zak said
"I think I'll try the chicken pot pie" I said
"I'll take the dinosaur nuggets with fries"
We all looked at Aaron like he was nuts
"What's wrong with wanting dino nuggets?"
"Nothing Aaron" I said chuckling
Just like old times I thought happily
"I'll take the turkey pot pie" Billy said
"And I'll have the Turkey Club sandwich" Nick said
"Ok, I'll get that out to ya folks in a little bit"
"Candy, we could tell you have someone, it's written all over you...now what does he do?" Aaron said smiling wide
He won't let it go until I say it I thought
"Fine, he's a director slash producer"
I looked over at Zak who had his arms crossed and was thinking hard. Then I saw his nose scrunch up and his brows furrowed together
"Why him?"
"Who?" I asked confused
"Why Jeff Tremaine?"
"Who's that?" Aaron asked
"He's the producer from the Jackass franchise" Nick said
"Is there a problem with that Zak? 'Cause the last time I checked I broke up with you because you were being a total jerk, he treats me like I'm somebody"
"And I didn't?" Zak retorted
"You did until that night"
Our food came out and Zak started eating silently
What a way to start off this investigation I thought sarcastically as I took a bite of my chicken pot pie
After everyone ate the lady came back to us
"How was everything?" she asked handing us the bill
"It was delicious" I said, "Big Momma sure knows how to make a homemade meal"
"She sure does" the lady said
"Where is she?" Nick asked
"Oh she just had a baby yesterday so she's takin' some time off"
"Congrads to her" I said smiling
"I haven't seen you guys around here, you just visiting?"
"You could say something like that, we're actually investigating the Central Unit Prison" Zak said
"Investigating?"
"Yeah, we're here to investigate the paranormal encounters there"
"Really? I never knew that place was haunted" she said taking the money Nick handed her
"Wel, we won't know until we investigate" Zak said
"Judy the social butterfly, we've got new customers" someone form the cooking window yelled
"I'm gettin' there Richard" she yelled back at the window and then looked back at us, "I hope you find what you're lookin' for there"
"Thank you" we said
"I hope to see you guys again before you leave"
"You will" Aaron said
We said our goodbyes and headed back to the hotel. Once we got to the hotel we wnet up to our roms and said our goodnights. I was about to go into my room when I realized I had forgotten the keycard on the table that was in the kitchenette
Dang it I thought
I looked at my watch 12:45am
I'm to tired to go down and get a new one I thought
I slowly went to a door and knocked on it. When it opened it revealed a suprised looking Zak
"What's up Candy?" he asked moving so I could come inside
"Can I crash here? I left my keycard in the room and I'm to tired to go down to the desk to get another one"
"Sure, let me get you a few things" Zak said and disapeared into the bedroom
He resurfaced with a large black t-shirt and some sweatpants
"Thanks" I said and headed to the bathroom to change.
When I came back out Zak was already passed out on the couch so I went over to him
"Thank you" I whispered and leaned closer to his forehead
My lips were about 2 centimeters away from his forehead when my brain yelled 'STOP'. I stood up and went to his bed and crawled in. I sighed frustratedly
Candy, you can't do that you've got someone that loves you in your life...It's time to forget about Zak and move on I thought
About 2 hours later I finally fell asleep.
A/N: So that's the first chapter. This is my first story that's going to be a x-over. I've been watching Jackass lately and I started thinking 'How can I make this story more interesting/drama filled?' What do you guys think about the new story?
