Holiday sun- chapter 7- Getting up
This one, I am planning to be quite long, if it pans out. There is some cuteness in this chapter- I hope you like it :) btw- putting in time phrase so it is easier to understand- as it may slur together otherwise. Plus I got really confused on which day was which.
Friday- second day of holiday
"Abby. Abby. Abby. Abby!" Connor moaned prodding Abby- hard.
"What-do-you-want?" Abby groaned her face still crushed into the pillow. She did not want to get up- it was way too early for that!
"Can we go get food now?" Connor asked already out of bed, he was trying fruitlessly to find something in the pile of clothes on the floor. He'd given up putting things away and just decided to leave in it a massive heap on the floor. He said it would be easier to find things as they'd all be in the same place. However, there must be a problem with that theory because he was still looking for something!
But returning to the reason why he wanted to get up..."Don't you ever stop eating?" Abby asked slowly turning over then finally deciding that she would have to get up some time and there was no way she could just sleep- for one reason- Connor wouldn't stop being irritating...
Connor just looked up to stare at Abby his head cocked sideways to look at her. His face was still so serious trying to understand why she had to ask him that anymore. And then Connor just broke once more into a grin. Abby stared at him understanding why he'd just looked at her like this, this kind of conversation kept on somehow repeating itself! "And I wonder why Connor, you never get fat even though you're constantly eating. It's not like you actually do any exercise either!" Abby laughed going over into the bathroom and quickly emerging dressed skimply for the day ahead- it was supposed to be hot. So Abby had decided to wearing shorts and a pink baggy shirt. Abby walked over to Connor, she knew she'd find whatever he was looking for straight away- men.
Connor stared at Abby briefly in-between his search. "I eat the right things, Abby. You should try it," Connor grinned and stared over at Abby.
Abby just laughed as she located a pair of socks, as she leant over Connor's shoulder. "Yeah right, con. You think a packet of crisps, eight biscuits, a sandwich, a piece of cake, an apple, and all of the yogurt in the fridge is a healthy lunch!" Abby stared at Connor, she always won... there was no point in some of his terrible meal choices sometimes!
"Well," Connor mused and looked over at Abby. He always gave up first- some arguments are best left alone before Abby decides to punch you.
Jess stared over at Becker who was asleep on the bed still. She'd slept on the sofa- and it had not been the most comfortable place to sleep. But Becker had argued against her, but Jess didn't let him win. She didn't want to accidentally hurt him in the middle of the night. That was the last thing she wanted to do, especially to Becker!
Jess got dressed quickly and sat on the corner of the bed and looked at Becker. He was still sleeping and she couldn't bare to wake him up, he looked so peaceful and relaxed. With no worries, no fear either he didn't even have any lines creasing his forehead... She slowly leant down and ever so slowly parted his hair. She could see all the stitches winding across his scalp and carefully pushed his hair back over the wound.
"Becker," she murmured and slowly stirred him awake.
"Hey, Jess gerroff me!" he muttered as she prodded him quite hard. Becker sat up to see Jess already dressed sitting on the foot of the bed. Becker took the hint and started rummaging around trying to find out what the time actually was.
"What time is it Jess?" Becker finally relented- he'd given up trying to find a watch when still barely awake.
Jess smiled sweetly up at Becker who was looking at her brushing sleep out of his face. "Oh it's 8:45. We're meeting downstairs at 9 so I thought I should wake you... I can down with you later if you really wanted too. How d'you feel? Anything I can do?" Jess explained finally tailing off into useless conversation which nobody needed nor wanted at this time of the morning.
Becker sat there for a few minutes and acclimatised to the early morning sun. Becker finally held a hand out for Jess to take. She looked utterly confused; but held it anyway (she didn't really want to lose the offer). Becker suddenly yanked Jess down beside at him and laughed as she glared at him momentarily. Jess immediately blushed and began to giggle. "Don't keep walking around me like I'll explode. I'm fine. My normal self- a mere cut won't mess up our holiday, Jessica," Becker told Jess and brushed her hair behind her ear.
"But I... I want you to be a normal person, not your soldier self. Promise me you'll be more than a soldier. That's what I want," Jess asked staring into his deep brown chocolaty eyes.
"Promise," Becker said seriously. Becker jumped up pulling Jess behind him. He quickly dressed into his civvies and stared at her. That wasn't soldiery at all-he was wearing a blue shirt and jeans, and there was nothing which was just black.
Becker pulled Jess towards the door and grinned defiantly, Jess just looked at him slightly confused by the way he was now acting.
Becker broke the silence to explain why exactly he was acting the way he was. "I we get there late Connor would have eaten everything. You know his appetite, and I'm hungry!" Becker laughed as he pulled Jess to the door.
"Becker!" Jess cried as he pulled her out of the room. Jess stumbled and Becker made sure that she didn't even have the chance to fall by momentarily placing an arm around her waist. Jess giggled, what had got into him today?
"Hey, race you to the lift!" Becker cried and legged it down the corridor.
Jess ran after him giggling happily and almost fell into the lift- sadly Jess still managed to come second.
"I won!" Becker laughed and hugged Jess briefly.
"Hey, hold it there Becker! I wasn't ready so that was a false start- you're disqualified!" Jess murmured as the doors closed putting her hands on her hips.
Becker had a gleam in his eyes now- like Jess had never seen before in Becker's eyes. It was the realisation there was no worry or thought in this moment. This exact moment... It was perfect Jess thought happily.
"You need to apologise for cheating," Jess chuckled and stared up into Becker's gleaming eyes.
"Fine then, I will!" Becker cried joyfully. He leaned in closer to Jess, she was in bliss!
Here we go a good fluff chapter. Not that long in the end, but oh well Hope that was a good one as I hope it was. Plenty to come, as this is just the beginning to the holiday.
