Chapter Four
:
Don't Be Stupid
"So what is there to do around here?"
"After living here all of my life, I can honestly say… Nothing."
Jeff and Dawn had gone out for lunch, if you could call fast food lunch. There was always 3 burger places to choose from, usually all neatly lined up on the same side of their competition: Burger Kind, McDonalds and Wendy's. They opted for a couple Big Macs to go and headed back to the hotel to taunt some of the others with the smell of food.
After lunch it had been a walk around the hotel. They had made their way over to the pool, which hadn't been covered up in the winter weather as the water wasn't frozen, just freezing cold. Dawn bent and stuck a finger into the water and ended up pulling it out immediately.
"I guess that means the water's cold," Jeff stated the obvious.
"Nah, it's boiling hot."
"Well if that's the case, jump on in," Jeff suggested. He knew the water was far from boiling.
Dawn rolled her eyes at Jeff and brushed past him, shoving him lazily with her arm into the pool. But if he was going in, she was going with him. He grabbed her arm and they fell in together. Seconds later both multi-colored hair heads were surfaced and gasping from air through chattering teeth. She glowered at Jeff and she swam to the edge and hoisted herself up. But Jeff had hold off her leg.
"Jeff, it's cold!" Dawn whined.
"It's your fault," he said as he dragged her back into the pool.
Spotting a diving board, Jeff left Dawn treading the water in the middle, trying to at least keep the blood circulating and get used to the frigid temperature. When she realized where Jeff was, it was too late.
"Swanton!" he shouted before doing a flip and hitting the water back first. That had to hurt.
"You're crazy, you know that?"
Jeff nodded proudly and pushed her in the direction of the diving board. Did he really expect her to do something like that? Obviously so, what was the point in fighting? Dawn rolled her eyes and turned her back to the pool on the board, jumped once and did a backwards flip and a half. Unlike Jeff, however, she went down head first.
"Alright you two, when you turn as blue as that dye that's in both of your hair - it's time to get out."
Chris Irvine was standing outside the pool, a safe distance away in case one of them decided that he would be good company inside the pool. Both of them pouted as they crawled out of the pool, suddenly finding themselves much colder then when they were in the pool. Chris had brought a couple towels out for them and tossed them over, still a good few feet away.
But who was he not to be wet? Dawn and Jeff both shook their heads, dripping wet hair flinging the water in Chris' directions. The dyed hair duo smiled at their accomplished job and began toweling of their hair and what they could of their clothes. This is definitely the way to get sick, Dawn thought as she sneezed.
"And I don't have a change of clothes," Dawn muttered. Just my luck.
"I'm sure Lita'll let you borrow something. You're fully developed so you should both be the same size," Jeff suggested.
"Isn't she a little young for you, Jeff?" Chris teased and got a very wet towel thrown at him.
They all headed into the hotel, they had at least dried off enough so that they weren't leaving behind a water trail. Since Jeff had to go change himself, it was Chris who now how the honor of interrupting Matt and Amy as he pounded on the door. It was a good couple of minutes before they opened the door.
"Hey, Li."
"What do you want, Chris?" she asked, annoyed, as Matt appeared behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"You got an extra pair of clothes I could borrow?" realized how bad that might have sounded, Chris quickly added in "… for Dawn. Her and Jeff went for a little swim."
"Yeah, hold on a sec."
Amy left Chris standing at the door and a chattering Dawn behind him who was clutching a cold towel around her. Why did it have to be so cold in the hotel?
"Here ya go," she handed Chris a pair of black cargo pants and a black top. Dawn smiled. Considerate.
Chris and Dawn joined Jeff in his room who was now redressed in dry clothes. The young teenager quickly made a beeline for the bathroom and locked the door behind her. Amy's clothes fit perfectly.
"Hey, Jeff, you were right."
Both men whistled when she came out of the bathroom. When she said the clothes fit perfect, what she meant was they fit perfectly against her skin, every curve was outline.
"Men…"
They pretended to pout and they made room between them for her on the bed. It figures that they would be watching 'The Mask'. Jim Carrey was truly insane. Chris excused himself as it was getting late. Jeff ended up ordering a pizza for dinner. She didn't want to go home so Jeff had let her stay with him, their was too beds after all. Jeff took a sip of his pepsi and then ended up belching. Normally a girl would have gone into 'gross mode', but Dawn instead burped louder then he did.
"You call me crazy when you're just plain weird," he chastised.
"D'uh."
Jeff shook his head as Dawn grabbed a pillow and stretched out on the bed, her arms folded on the pillow and head resting atop them. She was laughing heartily at the movie when Jeff wasn't even paying attention anymore. He was too busy studying her form. For someone her age, she looked like a full grown woman. A full chest, developed hips and a nice ass to boot. Eventually they both fell asleep watching the movie. As long as Dawn didn't knew what he thought, there was no harm done. It wasn't a crime to look.

Matt slid his keycard into the slit and entered the room he and his brother were sharing. He was surprised to see Dawn here, sleeping in the same bed with Jeff no less. Jeff even had his arm draped across her lower back. It would have been a rather comprising position if Matt didn't know his brother as well as he did. He went over and gently shook his brother awake.
"Hey Matt," he mumbled tiredly.
"You look comfortable."
"Huh?" It was then Jeff realized who was lying next to him and he grinned sheepishly, pulling his arm off of her. He slipped out of the bed, careful not to wake her.
Matt had brought a cup of coffee for Jeff, motioning that it was on the table as the elder brother changed into a new attire. Jeff was sipping at his coffee greatfully, it was a good wake up call. He didn't realize he'd been staring at Dawn until Matt snapped him out of his daze, noticing his stare.
"Don't get any ideas, Jeff."
"Matt, don't be stupid. I know the law."

Teaser – Jeff said he knows the law. But does that mean he's going to obey it? Does Dawn know the law? What law? Do I know know the law? All this and more in the next chapter! ^_-
