Everyone piled out of the monorail and into the park.
Jakob pulled your arm towards a woman dressed professionally with pale skin and dark hair. She held up a tablet that said: Julissa & Jakob Parker. She waved with a straight face as you locked eyes with her.
"Hello, I'm Zara, Claire Dearing's assistant. Follow me please" She said quickly as she turned and walked super fast.
You and Jakob looked at eachother and kept up with her pace.
"Ms. Dearing welcome's you to Jurassic World. This park is her pride and joy. She's arranged to meet with you both, show you accommodations, and then prep you for orientation this afternoon" Zara informed as she led you into a secure building.
"Will there be time to check out the park before orientation?" Jakob asked
"Yes, but Ms. Dearing likes to be on schedule so don't stray too far" Zara said as you followed her down multiple secure doors and finally into what looked like a control room. THe main wall had multiple computer screens, illuminating all parts of the park.
"Jakob? Julissa?" A familmiar voice called out. You both turned around to see a slim, red headed woman walk over in heels and dressed to the nines.
"Hey Claire!" Jake exclaimed going in for a hug, which caught Claire off guard. She was like you remembered, uptight and always in control.
"Hi Jake" She laughed, trying to push him off.
"Okay, calm down Jake" You joked pulling Jake towards you.
"Julissa, it's been so long!" Claire said
"Yeah, almost 10 years. You've done real good for yourself" You said waving your hand to the control room.
"It's hard work, but so worth it. Tracking you both and getting you guys on board is amazing. Thank you so much!" She said
Jake was beaming, making you mentally roll your eyes.
"So I've got an orientation planned for both of you today. YOu both will sit in a general one together, but Jake you'll go with me for the business side of the park and Julissa I'm going to hand you off to one of our trainers here at the park" She said.
"Are we going to have any time to settle in? We just got off of two flights, and I'm still in shock that there are dinosaurs roaming around" You asked causing Claire to smile.
"Yes, of course. We've set up accommodations for you both. Unfortunately, you two will have separate living quarters. Jakob you'll be staying on the park campus to be near the corporate office. Julissa, you'll be in a more remote location, closer to asset paddocks" She said
"Asset?" You questioned
"The dinosaurs. They are our assets" Claire explained making you lift an eyebrow.
Claire took Jakob to his apartment. It was in a fancy building, and Jakob loved it. It was modern, clean, and embodied Jakob's personality.
"I'm on the 3rd floor, so let me know if you ever need anything" Claire said to Jakob.
You drew a heart in the air behind Claire so only Jakob could see. He shot daggers with his eyes at you making you stifle in a laugh.
"Alright, Dr. Parker, shall we go to your new place" Claire said as she left Jakob.
You nodded and waved Jakob goodbye.
"See ya later bro!" You shouted before following after Claire.
"I'm dying to know, you're not homesick at all?" You asked her.
"No, this is my new home. I love it here" She said, furiously emailing somebody on her phone.
"So where exactly are we going?" You asked her as you both eventually stepped into her fancy Mercedes.
"You'll be closer to the paddocks, and other trainers. It's on the outskirts of the park. I figured you might like it. You always liked to be far from the crazy but close enough to experience it once in a while" She said referring to the days you both were roommates. YOu chuckled.
"And how am I getting around?" You asked
She tossed a pair of keys at you
"Nice!" You said realizing you got a company Jeep.
The car jumped into a dirt road and began going down a path through the jungle.
"Do I have neighbors?" You asked
"The closest trainer might be just a half a mile away from you" She said pulling up to a bungalow off of a lake.
"It's fully furnished, meals can either be shipped to you or you can come into town and shop" She said as you stepped out of her car.
"Nice, this is pretty sweet" You said.
"Keys are with you, and there's a map inside that will help you get back to the park. Be back in the control room by 3pm" She said
"What? Wait, this is it? What about my luggage?" You asked confused.
"I have a meeting to go to. Your luggage will be delivered in the next half hour" She said
You nodded and waved goodbye. You watched her peel out before stepping up the bungalow that you would soon have to call home.
The bungalow was a two bedroom, one bath home. It had a decent living room and a rather large kitchen. The lake view was perfect and for some reason you felt okay. It was the first time, since stepping on the island that you felt somewhat content.
You looked down the shoreline of the lake and saw another little trailer bungalow. There was a bike parked out front.
That must be the neighbor. You thought as a jeep drove up.
"Dr. Julissa Parker" The Park employee asked
"Yep, got my luggage" You asked noticing it in the back.
He nodded and helped you bring it up to your porch.
"Thank you!" you shouted before he drove off.
You took everything in side and decided to take a shower and get ready for the orientation.
You changed into a pair of green kahki skinny jeans that were torn at the knees. They hugged you in all the right places. You threw on a sports bra, and a loose white t-shirt that fell off your shoulder. You tucked part of the shirt into your pants and then slipped on a pair of brown combat boots. You curled your dark long hair into beachy waves and put on eyeliner, mascara, and a nude lip. You rarely wore makeup, but since you were meeting new people, you decided to look somewhat presentable.
It was 2:15 as you stepped out of your bungalow. You remembered the way back to control, but realized it was only a 20 min drive. You had about a half hour to kill. You looked to your left to see that little trailer bungalow. You shrugged and figured that it would be nice to meet your neighbor. You walked down the lake until you reached the property. You noticed the motorcycle and boots thrown on the ground. You saw some clothes hanging off of a line, and concluded a man must have been living here.
You went up to the door and knocked.
No response.
You knocked one more time for good measure but still no luck. You shrugged and walked back down and decided to just walk back to go to the park. But before you could even make it past the bike a voice shouted out causing you to jump.
"Hey!" A male, deep voice shouted. It scared you so bad that you had to actually put your hand to your heart to feel it beating hard.
You turned, wide eyed, to see a handsome man walking toward you from behind the trailer.
"Uh-uhm-hi" You said catching your breath. A small smile formed on his ruggedly handsome face. He had a tan-from working outside-, dirty brown/blonde hair, wide shoulders, and rather buff. His green eyes bore holes through yours.
"Looking for something" He asked, wiping his hands on a rag before tossing it to the side and walking up to you.
"Oh-uh-I'm just-I'm your neighbor" You managed to spit out pointing to your bungalow. He looked past to you to where you were pointing then nodded.
"Owen Grady" He said extending his strong hand.
You were still blown away by his physical appearance.
"Dr. Julissa Parker" You said shaking his hand. YOur hand felt so small in his.
"Doctor?" He quizzed
"Yeah, um I'm new here" you said putting a hands in your pockets.
He scrunched his eyebrows, thinking.
"Are you the new dino nutritionist?" He asked
You smiled
"Yeah and behavior specialist" You added
He looked a bit skeptical.
"I didn't think they'd actually find one" He muttered.
"Uhm- and what do you do?" You asked, shyly.
Pull it together Jules. Stop acting like you've never seen such a good looking man before You mentally slapped yourself.
"I'm the velociraptor caretaker" He said nonchalantly
Your jaw dropped a bit.
"Those exist here? Like they are living and breathing, here?" You aksed, shocked. He laughed, which was like honey to your ears.
He nodded.
"Not the easiest job, which I'm wondering if they are going to have you work with me" He muttered, scrunching his eyebrows again. Your phone buzzed in your back pocket. You pulled it out ot see that your brother said he was on his way to the orientation.
"Hey, I have to go. I have to do this orientation thingy" You said
"Oh yeah, I'm heading that up for the new trainers. I guess, with you" He said with a smile. You smiled back.
"Well I'll see you there then" You said awkwardly walking backwards. He reached out and grabbed your arm, slightly pulling you forward. YOu looked at him confused and surprised. His grip on your arm made you feel tingly inside.
"Sorry, bike is behind you" He muttered, letting you go and scratching the back of his head.
You blushed and apologized.
"My bad, I'm still trying to grasp that I'm on this island" You said making him laugh.
"I can take you?" He suggested, pointing to his bike.
You looked at it then to him, then back to it.
"I know it doesn't look like it works, but it does" He said, sensing your apprehension.
-OWEN'S POV-
You were out in the back fixing up a piping issue on the trailer when you thought you were someone banging on the door on the other side. You pulled your headphones off but didn't hear anything so you put them back in. A few seconds later, you swore you heard it again. So you tossed your headphones to the side and walked around to see a woman walking away from your trailer.
The first thing you noticed was her curves. The way she walked made them sway in a way where you couldn't stop staring. Her dark, long hair, had hints of honey and swayed with her curves.
"Hey!" You shouted. You realized you scared her as she jumped and turned around with wide eyes. YOu couldn't help but chuckle. She was beautiful. Curves in all the right places, tone, tan skin, with bright green eyes.
-BACK TO JULISSA'S POV-
"Um, sure" You said, not really thinking it through.
"Great, let me clean up real fast, and I'll take you. Want to come in?" He asked walking up to his door.
"Uh-um no thank you. I kinda need the fresh air" You sheepishly said. He shrugged and went inside.
You finally let out the breath you must have been holding in.
You've never felt this nervous around a guy before. You were the one that was usually in charge and took the lead. You shook your head and mentally told yourself to be professional and that you were on this island for work purposes.
