Thank you for your charming reviews! I feel so loved.... haha at least I can laugh at myself. Well since you all seem to like my story I shall update yet again, not bad eh? I appreciate that you guys think I can write romance :), I try. As I said this story is basically fluff so if you want to find a hard piece of evident plot go somewhere else 'cause I'm interested in writing cute love scenes. Though I have to have an antagonist interrupt a lot because without a villain there would be no interest (though Psymon is a very sexy villain if I have any say). So, here is another cute chapter with Psymon being an ass to the poor children LOL.
The next day found the majority of the tour relaxing in the hotel hot tub. Since it was a Saturday they had decided to take a day off and have a communal rest time in the heated Jacuzzi. Nate and Allegra had declined joining the rest and were swimming laps in the small indoor pool across the hall.
Shamelessly, Elise and Zoe were wearing string bikinis, the latter probably for her boyfriend's pleasure. All the guys had different colored trunks; while Kaori was wearing a tasteful medium-blue on piece with a low cut back. The hot tub had a seat going around the middle, and was a rather large circle.
Viggo, Elise, Moby and Zoe were having a heated discussion about deforestation and whether it was good for snowboarding tracks to have trees or not. Viggo seemed to agree with the loggers while the other three were ruthlessly protecting trees' rights.
Psymon was seemingly enthralled with the jets on either side of where he was sitting and kept shifting around trying to find the best place to sit for maximum comfort from the pressured water. Griff was paddling around in the middle of the tub in his own 12-year-old world.
Mac was lounging back in one of the circular 'corner's' with Kaori resting between his legs, leaning against his chest. With slight amusement they watched the four others having an argument. Though you could rephrase that to Moby attempting to keep his girlfriend and a certain blond bombshell from attacking a rather flustered Swede.
Mac chuckled as Zoe tried to lunge through the waist-deep water at Viggo and Moby containing his fiery girlfriend. Kaori felt his torso tremble as his laughter continued to increase. She turned her head to look at him amusedly. He caught her eye and simmered down.
"I can't wait till the old man can't hold Zo anymore, and see what happens to 'ladies' man' over there." Mac said with a slight sadistic pleasure.
Kaori just grinned and settled herself back against him. Mac wrapped his arms around her small frame. He blew the water droplets scattered over her shoulder across her neck gently. Kaori shuddered with pleasure at the tickling sensation. Mac continued to blow softly on her neck and Kaori moaned.
Griff looked up from swimming circles in the middle and watched with juvenile interest what the couple were doing. Even to his 12-year-old eyes he knew that they were oblivious to everyone else around them. Mac had his arms around her snugly, though was beginning to let his hands roam across his girlfriend's sides. Kaori's eyes had fluttered closed and had a look of bliss upon her face as the guy she was practically sitting on continued his attentions.
Finally Griff had to comment, "Could you guys quit it? I am a minor ya know." he said in that kid boy voice.
Mac ceased blowing on her shoulder, and Kaori's eyes snapped open. The four having the argument paused to look at what their youngest member had commented on. Kaori blushed. Mac cleared his throat slightly.
"Thanks for interrupting the moment kid." he sneered sarcastically. Griff smirked that really annoying adolescent smirk.
"I just didn't want you to embarrass Kaori when she had to finally smack you for getting too fresh with her." Griff had developed a crush on the small Japanese woman and constantly reminded Mac that the older boy had 'competition'. Mac glared evilly at the pre-teen. The kid sure had nerve!
"She might not want you holding her." he continued boldly. For a 12-year-old he sure knew how things like this went, probably from being around people so much older than him.
Mac almost growled. He wanted to strangle the brat! Kaori looked uncertain as to what she should do. She didn't have anything against Griff and didn't want to be mean, but she couldn't not say anything to stop his attraction to her. Though it was kind of amusing watching a 12-year-old try to home in on a 19-year-old with a boyfriend.
Moby saved Kaori the trouble of having to speak.
"Oy, Grommet! You don't have a shot with her!"
Everyone laughed. A red-faced Griff got out of the hot tub and practically ran out of the room. Kaori looked slightly guilty.
"Silly kid." Mac said. Kaori shrugged and slid off Mac's lap to sit next to him. Lacing her fingers through his she rested her head on his shoulder.
Viggo had conveniently slipped out of the room during the confrontation, and Elise, upon realizing this, got out of the hot tub to track him down.
"I'm gonna go after his hide!" she said vehemently. You don't piss off a strong-willed Canadian. Zoe chuckled and followed Elise out of the water.
"Wait up love." Moby said and climbed out after her.
"Great." Mac thought, "they leave us alone with the psycho again." Psymon, though maintained his fascination with the underwater jets and seemed unaware of all else around him.
Kaori slid off the underwater seat and sat between Mac's legs again only on the bottom of the tub. Her chin barely topped the water. Mac sat up straighter and played with her hair that was gently floating in the water. Her medium-brown hair was almost chocolate when wet and was too desirable not to touch. Kaori closed her eyes again as her significant other gently ran his hands through her gravity-suspended hair.
Mac was enjoying himself thoroughly, with his girlfriend between his legs and her long hair that felt like silk between his fingers. Mac leaned down and dropped a kiss on her head. Kaori leaned her head all the way back and smiled up at him, her caramel colored eyes shining with adoration.
Psymon finally noticed that everyone else had vacated the room; leaving him with the lovesick teens. He mentally screamed. He wished he could just drown the little brats! Okay, he didn't hate them that much. But he did want to wring Kaori's neck sometimes. Psymon chuckled evilly as he observed the unsuspecting couple enthralled with each other. This could be fun.
Unnoticed Psymon slid under the water and made his way over to the younger boarders. Kaori once again had her eyes shut and Mac was too busy fondling her hair to notice Psymon inching closer. Suddenly, the crazy boarder latched onto Kaori's ankle underwater and yanked her head below the surface. Mac instinctively lunged forward and grabbed Kaori's arm and tried to pull her up.
Kaori knew it was Psymon and was afraid he was trying to drown her. Though he really wasn't, he just had a very sadistic sense of humor and enjoyed torturing her at every opportunity. Kaori was starting to panic, as she hadn't been able to get a breath before she was denied air and kicked out with her free foot; which fortunately for her collided with Psymon's head and he released her ankle.
Mac felt the resistance on his hold cease and pulled Kaori above the water quickly. She came up sputtering and coughing in a teary-eyed state, with water running down her arms. Psymon had jumped up as soon as she had kicked him and was also gasping for breath. He looked like someone who had had their fun cut short prematurely. He also looked pissed, probably for getting a well deserved kick to the head.
Mac was so angry he could only see red. After helping Kaori out of the Jacuzzi he lunged at the older male with a cry of vengeance. Not suspecting attack, Psymon fell backwards under the water with Mac's weight on top of him. The angry teen was trying to throttle him under water. Kaori, after recovering, saw what was transpiring and started to scream. She knew better than to try to break them apart, for she was too small to get any leverage required for forcing them away from each other.
Drawn by Kaori's screams the other boarders came running into the room. Though none of them still had their bathing suits on, Nate, Moby, Viggo and Zoe leapt into the small pool of water to stop Mac and Psymon from killing each other. They managed to break them apart and Nate and Moby held a murderous Psymon, while Viggo and Zoe held an equally furious Mac back by the arms. The two fighters were both gasping for breath as they had been fighting underwater the whole time.
Everyone was yelling at the same time and nothing anybody said was intelligible. Moments later Zack came flying into the room and took about half a second to register the scene before yelling at the top of his lungs for them all to be quiet.
"What the hell is going on!" He shouted. The boarders quit yelling at each other and everyone looked at Mac and Psymon. Mac spat at Psymon hatefully.
"He tried to drown Kaori!" he hissed. Psymon barked a cruel laugh.
"It was a stupid prank you dumbass! I wasn't trying to kill her." Mac glared murderously.
"I swear-" here he tried to launch himself at Psymon again but Zoe and Viggo held him firmly, "touch her again and I'll kill you!"
Everyone looked at Kaori with concern. They all knew Psymon was a bastard to her but he usually didn't attack her psychically. Zack glanced at her with questioning and concern. Kaori just nodded. Mac struggled backwards out of Zoe and Viggo's grip and climbed out of the Jacuzzi, wrapping an arm around Kaori.
Zack turned to Psymon. He nodded at Nate and Moby to let him go. Everyone got out of the hot tub. Zack turned angry eyes to the pissed off Canadian.
"Psymon, I can't believe you attacked Kaori." he shook his head with disapproval. "You are disqualified from the next three events."
"What the fuck for! All I did was play a joke on the girl and you all think I tried to murder her or something!"
Kaori spoke up for the first time. Glaring at her rival she said in a clear voice, "You scared me, it wasn't funny." Psymon almost rolled his eyes.
"I scare you all the time."
Mac started towards him again but Kaori wrapped her arms around him. "Please don't." she said to him softly. With an obvious amount of effort he restrained himself from chocking the 28-year-old who made his girlfriend's life miserable.
"Alright, everybody back to their rooms. Let's put this behind us." Zack said to the tour. Just before Psymon went through the door though he added a threat, "Don't ever do something possibly life-threatening to Kaori again, or anyone else for that matter, or you'll be very sorry." Psymon paused but did not look at Zack as he left the room. Kaori assured Zack that she was okay and she and Mac went upstairs to his room.
After closing the door Mac led her into the bathroom to get towels, for they had forgotten theirs downstairs in the pool room and didn't want to go get them. Mac grabbed a fluffy white cotton towel and wrapped it around Kaori, drying her off affectionately. Kaori sighed and leaned into him.
"I am so sick of him." Mac said after a few minutes, once she was thoroughly dry and they had switched roles. "I wish Zack would just kick him off the tour." Kaori sighed and paused in her ministrations and took his face in her hands.
"I've survived him this long. Besides, you're there to protect me." She spoke lightly but Mac knew how much Psymon scared her. Mac hugged her to him tightly.
"You wanna watch a movie or something?" he asked. She nodded.
"I'll go change and be right back." she said. Kaori kissed his cheek and slipped out of the room. A couple minutes later she re-entered in a pair of baggy blue sweats and a white sweater. Mac was looking through his movie collection in a pair of baggy jeans.
"What do you want to watch?" he asked as she came over next to him. Kaori laced her fingers through his.
"I don't really care.... Star Wars? The sixth one." she suggested half-heartedly. Mac grinned slightly.
"Right." he slipped it into the VCR and they got comfortable on his king size bed. Mac propped against the headboard on fluffy pillows with Kaori curled up half on his chest with a leg between his. Mac wrapped his arms around his petit girlfriend and she snuggled closer.
For the next two and a half hours they cuddled together, and by the end of the movie both had fallen asleep entwined together. They stayed like that for the rest of the day.

I know. Probably stupid right? It did have some cute moments though right? I'm sorry, I get a little crazy with conflicts. I really like having romantic stuff in my writing interspersed with hostile confrontations. I understand the thing with Psymon might be a bit much but oh well. Just don't flame me. Please review! I'll try to update soon and do something about Kaori's idea for a dance. By the way, I got the idea for the Star Wars movie 'cause a few days ago my friend Hermione Double and I watched it. LOL do you like that I put it in my story? Love you guys!
