Howdy! Right to it then:
Motel night
Jack's POV:
"I'm afraid all our taxis are busy at the moment and look to be for a while. So will that be a single room then?"
"Two! Two rooms."
Jack answered firmly to the increasingly irritating secretary.
"Righttttt."
The man drawled out the word and ran Jack's request through the computer.
Impatiently, Jack began drumming his fingers on the counter whilst Sharpay next to him concentrated on reading a poster hung up in the foyer picturing some Broadway show.
"Ahhhhh."
The secretary looked up from his computer screen, eyes widened mockingly dramatic.
"What?"
Jack didn't like the sound of that ah.
"Like taxi's; I'm afraid were pretty busy tonight, there's only one of two rooms available."
"What are they like?" Sharpay asked and the secretary turned a bright smile upon her, probably sniffing wealth. If only he knew she didn't have her purse on her, thought Jack.
"Well madam, the first is an open plan room, so really its two rooms that have had the division knocked down; separate beds and all that."
"And the second?" pushed Jack.
"the second is our finest romantic suite, luxury lighting and bed…"
The later part was aimed with a sleazy smile towards Jack, but before he had a chance to tell him where he could shove his luxury lighting and bed, Sharpay broke in.
"We'll take the first please."
Sharpay's POV
Sharpay sighed slightly as she closed the bathroom door behind her. She hoped she would be able to get her bag back the next day; it was Gucci and her favourite. Obviously there was other worries such as the fact she was sharing 'two rooms merged into one' with her boyfriend's dad, whom she'd slept with not so long ago.
"Ah well…"
She said the words aloud to her reflection in the mirror, there was no use stressing about it, they were here now and they would be sleeping in separate beds so there was nothing to worry about.
She pealed off her clothes and got into the shower, letting the warm water wash over her, the effects of the alcohol still tingling in her blood stream.
After a good long soak she got out and reached for a towel on the handrail.
She wondered if Jack was alright, last time she had seen him he'd been sitting on the edge of his bed looking ready to drop of to sleep.
He seemed to have taken the situation they were in, a little harder to accept then her. There was nothing more they could do, they'd already told the secretary to send them a message as soon as any cabs were free, what more could they do?
Finishing drying her hair she bought the towel down to her body when the door opened.
A whole friction of time seemed to pass before Sharpay realised it was Jack standing at the door.
"Ah."
It was the only thing he seemed able to say as his eyes did an instinctive sweeping over her body.
"That stupid guy didn't tell us we had to share a shower."
Her words seemed to snap him back into reality,
"No, um I'm sorry I should have realised-"
"Don't worry, the shower's really good, you take one, I'll go."
Remembering she was naked she quickly wrapped the towel around her whilst Jack looked pointedly away
The walk to the door and past a turned Jack seemed to take an eternity and Sharpay was aware of feeling scared and yet excited at the same time as sort of thrilling in the pit of her stomach, perhaps it was just the alcohol.
She passed him and at that exact moment he turned meeting her eyes. They were electric blue, like Troy's and yet deeper, darker or at least they seemed to her in that moment.
He put a hand on her shoulder stilling her firmly, his touch thrilled her even more.
They said nothing, he breathed on her neck as though trying to steady himself and she moved a little closer their bodies touching slightly.
At her closeness he breathed a little harder and Sharpay felt a tingle that had nothing to with alcohol and a lot to do with the fact that only a thin towel separated her from Jack, she could feel him through his shirt, his muscles and she knew he could feel her too.
"We Can't do this"
The words came out as though Jack was fighting against something.
She inched her face a little closer, her lips teasing his ear.
"We can"
Its weird but when I did the Evans party chapter I was considering having a bathroom scene but then I changed it thinking it would be better used in the future and now it as, what did you think?
