Chapter Fourteen: Sharing My Happiness

I sighed contently as I snuggled further into my bed. All my dreams last night were so vividly incredibly, revolving around my boyfriend, Drew. I never understood that I could care this much for one person and we've only been together for nearly a day now. It made me understand just how hard it would be to lose him but that isn't something that bothered me. I was completely happy and comfortable in my cozy bed as the sun washed over me through the mesh curtains of the window that overlooked my bed.

I was happy.

"May do you know that it's nearly noon and you said you had a lunch date with Drew." Marina's voice cut through my happiness like a knife and it was replaced with anxiety as I shot up straight in bed with my eyes wide. She jumped back at my sudden jerk; she must have been standing over me.

"What!? How can it nearly be noon already!?" I asked looking towards the nightstand next to my bed. The digital clock sitting there read 11:45. I gasped and threw my sheets aside and began so scramble around the room for my clothes. "Marina! Why didn't you wake me up!?" I whined as I went into the bathroom to put on a bathing suit before pulling on some jeans shorts and a red tank top.

"Well I did actually. You sleep pretty deeply. I yelled in your ear, I set off the alarm, heck, I even slapped you in the face!" Marina complained. I stared at her in shock only to notice that she was already dressed in a jeans miniskirt and a blue halter which showed her blue bikini strap. My shock vanished and I smiled at her.

"At least you're ready. You must be looking forward to hanging out with Jimmy." I teased as I picked up a brush and began to go at my hair. She pursed her lips and shook her head in disagreement. I could tell she was apprehensive. I'm sure I would be too.

"I see Jimmy everyday so this is nothing new to me. I don't need a boy hanging over me to make me feel good." She retorted a bit harshly. I blinked in surprise at her words and stopped brushing my hair to look at her in the face. Her arms were at her sides and her fists were clenched while her mouth was twisted into a pout and her eyes were narrowed.

"Marina I know that you don't need a guy hanging over you, I don't either, but when you like the guy as much as you do I can't help but try to share the happiness I feel when I'm with Drew." I said sincerely. Her expression softened and she smiled half way.

"I get what you mean." She muttered. I smiled brightly at her and her small smile turned into a grin. "We're gonna be late." She said while still grinning.

"No we're not." I retorted. "I'm ready."

"No May you're not, not until I get my hands on that bed head of yours." She laughed picking up the brush I was previously using and going at my hair with vigorous strokes. I winced with each one but smiled nonetheless.

"Okay they are right there so just play it cool, act cute, and make things as subtle as possible." I whispered to Marina as I glanced around the corner into the hotel cafeteria to see Jimmy and Drew talking while sharing lunch. I also noticed Paul, Ash and Brendan at a table not too far but what I was confused about was that they were each speaking to girls…except Paul he was ignoring this navy haired girl who was trying to get his attention. Poor girl…

"May I'm always cool. You learned how to be cool from me." Marina scoffed flipping her blue locks over her shoulder. I stared at her blankly for a moment. "And I'm always cute! I love being cute! And I'm never subtle I'm mysterious." She added waggling her fingers for emphasis. I rolled my eyes.

"Ok then…" I muttered trailing off.

"C'mon then!" She exclaimed grabbing my hand and dragging me into the cafeteria. Luckily she had made lunch for us earlier warning me that hotel food was never good for the skin. I twitched when she said that.

"Hey Drew!" I said cheerfully just becoming aware that Marina had dragged me over to his table. He smiled at me and stood from his seat to give me a gentle peck on the lips. I could feel my cheeks flushing scarlet and Marina giggled.

"Hey yourself." He said simply before sitting back down. I plopped down next to him, grinning like the idiot I was. Marina was about to sit next to me but I shot her a look then jerked my head inconspicuously towards the empty seat next to Jimmy.

"That was an obvious gesture May." Jimmy pointed out pulling out the chair for her. She gave me a strange look and nodded in agreement as she took the seat next to him, across from me.

"Remember May, keep it subtle." She laughed. I rolled my eyes but laughed lightly along with her. I was glad she was there with me; and that's where our wonderful conversation about obviousness came to be…mainly focused around the obvious things I did. I pouted the entire time but Drew wrapped a reassuring arm around my shoulders holding me close to him.

Although I was the subject of many jokes to come…I was happy.

"C'mon!" I whined tugging on Marina's arm like a child tugging on the hem of their mother's skirt. Marina ignored me all the same by sticking her nose further into her magazine. I pouted and tugged harder.

I've been trying to get her into the water for the last ten minutes. I had already been in with Drew, which is why I was dripping wet and my hair was sticking to me. He dunked me underwater several times. I got out seeing if Marina was willing to help me get revenge but she refused to budge. She just sat there fully clothed, listening to music and flipping through mindless tabloids about celebrity trainers such as…Ash?

"Marina it's not fair! Drew has Jimmy to back him up! I need some girl power!" I said in a childish high pitch. She flipped a page and shrugged. She had refused the first time saying salt water didn't mix with her hair. "You're missing out on fun!"

"I really don't care…" She mumbled as she flipped another page and turned up her music. I pouted and slumped my shoulders at her response. It was getting late and the sun was setting. I didn't want her to miss out.

"Maybe she wants another option." Jimmy said coming up next to me. He shook his head letting water fly in all directions, including on Marina. She grit her teeth.

"But I want her to go in the water!" I whined. He shrugged.

"You go in the water with Drew. I'll handle this." He explained. I shrugged and turned to go run back into the water but then I took it slow to overhear what they were going to say.

"Would it be more fitting to go on a walk or something?" Jimmy asked her offering his hand. I gasped. Drew had asked me to go on a walk with him when he told me he liked me. I had to hold back a squeal.

"I guess." Marina sighed as she casually got up. Jimmy didn't even bother to put his shirt on all the way. He left it unbuttoned as he offered Marina his arm which she linked hers with and they were on their way.

I scurried back into the water to Drew and I stood in front of him with my back to him. He wrapped his arms around my shoulders and rested his chin on the right one.

"Did you tell him?" I questioned flatly. I felt him shrug behind me.

"I have no clue what you're talking about." I did a 180 and gave him a skeptical look. He just smirked at me before giving me a chaste kiss. I smiled lightly.

"You told him…" I laughed.

"How we got together? Yes…"

"Did you give him permission to copy?" I questioned further.

"Yup."

"You dummy!" I laughed splashing him in the face. He narrowed his eyes at me and splashed me back.

"I just wanted to share the kind of happiness we have." He explained. I laughed lightly again and wrapped my arms around his neck.

"I was thinking the same." I said quietly before pulling him in for another kiss which I smiled into as he pulled me into him

Ah so cute. Next chapter will be the last one. I wonder if things will go as smoothly for Jimmy and Marina as they did for May and Drew…eh probably if I get lazy. Or maybe not. Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed this and many other pieces of my writing. Pweez review!
