Okay, second chapter, enjoy!
Matt woke up and smiled when he smelled Dianna's Strawberry shampoo. He took a deep breath and sighed in content.
"Morning sleepy head."
He heard. Dianna opened her eyes and smiled up at him, her eyes sparkling.
"Are we where ever you said we where going?"
He grinned down at her and kissed her forehead.
"Yeah, we got here last night. I carried you in cause you where still asleep." She smiled warmly.
"That's so sweet."
He laughed. "Just for you angel."
He sat up and looked over. "Shit…shit…shit…shit…shit…shit…shit!"
Dianna was alarmed.
"What? Matt, honey, what's wrong?"
He threw the covers off. "Dianna he's gone….Jeff's not here!"
He stormed out of the room and looked down the hall. He walked quickly down it and down the stairs, Dianna walking after him.
"Matt, I'm sure he's fine. He didn't leave the house."
He walked through a dinning room and looked around. He picked a random door where he heard music coming from. He pushed it open and sighed in relief. Maeve was sitting on the counter reading a book and Jeff was on a stool playing a PSP. They both looked up at the same time.
"Hey Matt."
Jeff said before looking back down.
"Hey. You guys want something to eat?"
Matt was a little astonished. "Um…yeah."
Maeve smiled and leaned forward. "Do you want me to make you guys something or…"
"It doesn't matter." Dianna laughed moving to the stool next to Jeff and sitting down.
Maeve sighed and swung her legs over the side.
"Really, whatever you guys want."
"Then whatever Jeff had." At the mention of his name Jeff looked up.
"What?"
"Nothing." Maeve laughed.
He looked over at her and grinned. "Hey what's there to do around here?"
Maeve stood on her tipie toes to get a bowl off the top shelf.
"Well," She said setting the two of them down. "I have a pool in the back yard, but you guys didn't bring your bathing suits did you?"
"I didn't."
Matt said putting the cap on the milk. Maeve scoped it up and stuck it back in the fridge.
"I have dirt bikes, A-TV's, and horses along with a motor cross cores too. I have paint ball guns, a basketball court, and I have a few trails for hiking marked down on a map. Oh and I also have a wrestling ring."
Jeff eyed her.
"I always wanted to be a diva." She laughed blushing sheepishly and shrugging her shoulders.
"Why don't you ask Vince? If you one of his "most trusted friends" he should give ou a job right?"
Dianna asked after smacking Matt's hand away from her bowl of Coco Puffs.
"Well up until last month I had prier…engagement's I had to take care of. And now I have you guys so yeah!" She hopped back on the counter.
"How long do we have to be here?" questioned Jeff, setting his game down on the counter.
"Only four weeks. You guys are out on "injuries"."
She said, doing the air quote thing.
"Won't it look odd that both the boys are out at the same time?"
Dianna asked sticking her spoon in her mouth. Maeve shrugged, swallowing her drink.
"I don't know. They are on two separate shows…maybe one of you two should stay out longer."
"Not me!" Matt spit out quickly.
Jeff looked over and glared at his older brother.
"That's not fair!"
"Oh shush whinny baby."
Maeve and Dianna watched the two argue silently. They looked at each other and laughed.
"Men."
"A-TV's huh?"
Jeff spoke up next to Maeve on the couch in the living room. Matt was in the shower and Dianna was watching a movie in their new room. Maeve grinned.
"I figured you would like um. Go get you're shoes then meet me at the back door."
He did so and stopped at the back door where she was slipping her's on. Her house was even bigger than he thought and he supposed it was a good thing he had her show all three of them around before doing anything else. Someone was bound to get lost. It was surrounded by forest. You could see mountains from all around and as they walked outside Jeff could hear the distant barking of dogs.
"Do you like animals?"
She smiled and looked back.
"Yeah, a lot. When I was younger I always wanted a tiger as a pet."
He laughed, remembering his similar fantasies of having his own zoo. Some of which he was attempting to fulfill. There was a long path and he could see a building a little farther away. She pulled a set of key's put of her pocket and unlocked the door. As they went in she flipped a light on. There was at least 7 bikes and 8 or 9 four wheelers lined. There was also two golf cart, a jeep, and a H1.
"You got to have a fortune if you own all this shit."
She looked back and nodded.
"I guess you could say that."
She unlocked a box on the wall to revile sets of keys hanging on hooks with labels under them. She grabbed two and tossed Jeff on. He caught it.
"The red one."
She said, pointing to it. He grinned and swung his leg over the side, sticking the key in and staring the engine. He looked up and she was typing something into a key pad. A garage door behind him opened up and he back out. He hadn't noticed it before but the entire yard had stopped a few yards back and turned into dirt. He skidded turning around and watched Maeve back up on a dark purple and green one.
"FALLOW ME!" S
he shouted over the roar of the engine. He nodded and she took off.
Matt got out of the shower and wrapped a towel around his waist. Dianna looked at him and smiled when he walked through the door.
"What you watchin?"
He asked grabbing the shirt he had put on the chair.
"Just flipping."
"Are Jeff and Maeve still in the living room?"
He pulled the pair of jeans up to his waist over his boxers and she answered his question.
"They where when I came up here."
With that they heard two engines start. Matt grabbed the brush and looked out the window. He could see his brother and Maeve on two four wheelers. Jeff spun in the dirt then they took off, disappearing into the trees. It looked like they where racing. Matt felt Dianna wrap her arms around his waist.
"It looks like they're having fun. He looks like he's enjoying himself for once, even though he's forced to be here."
Matt nodded and pulled her around in front of him.
"It's really beautiful out here."
She whispered. He looked out on the mountains and nodded into her shoulder.
"Do you think Maeve and Jeff would look cute together?"
He asked curiously, picturing his brother with one of his best friends. Dianna shrugged.
"I don't know. They seem to have a lot in common."
Matt nodded.
"I suppose…"
His mind trailed to other things.
"I wonder what the sunset's gonna look like behind those mountains."
"I don't know Matt, but this place is like a paradise."
He nodded again and kissed her cheek. He looked out the window once more and sighed. She was right…and he couldn't help but wonder if Jeff would be ready to leave when they needed to.
They raced at least seven times.
"Come on pansy! One more and I'll whip your ass!"
Maeve laughed, driving up next to Jeff. He leaned back and laughed.
"I don't think so Maeve."
She rolled her eyes. Then, spontaneously, they lit up.
"Hey, follow me."
He nodded again and they took of. They dodge between trees together and down a path until a bright blue lake came into view.
"Wow." He whispered.
She cut the engine to her A-TV and jumped off. He turned the key to his machine and watched her. She slid her jeans down her legs after kicking her shoes off and headed strait for the water. He blushed a bright red when she was under the water. Spongebob underwear? She came up and shook her hair.
"Well! Come on."
She laughed waving to him. He rolled his eyes and shook his head.
"You're crazy Maeve!" He shouted to her.
"Awwwwww!"
She whined, looking at him with pleadingly. He admitted to himself she looked absolutely adorable, but quickly cleared his head. Shaking his head from his thoughts he pulled the tee shirt up over it and then pulled the blue bandana he had on off with it. She grinned as he kicked his shoes off and ran at her. He made a humongous splash on purpose and she laughed, turning away from him. He came up and shook his hair in her face.
She splashed him back then dived under water. He waited ready for when she would come up, but when she didn't he got a little panicky. He turned around and around, scanning the water for ant sign of her until he was pulled under the water by his ankle. He caught a breath quickly and when he was under he opened his eyes. He could see her clearly. The water was a clear blue, gorgeous, see through. She smiled at him and headed up to the surface.
He followed after ready to fill his lungs with cool, fresh mountain air. The air and sun met him and the surface broke. She was a while away, moving up the shore. He smiled at her and she smiled back when she turned around. She sat down and the laid down, her face illuminated buy the sunlight. He walked out also, and wrung out his hair. He put the bandana back on and sat down next to her.
"So you live here all the time?"
She nodded and looked over at him.
"Why?"
Looking up at the blue sky inaudibly and contented he sighed.
"Cause it's like Heaven."
There! All done.
