The Fourth Time's a Charmer
Izzy sighed as Jen's long hair spilled over his laptop's monitor. Getting up at four AM had really zonked the girl out, and she was trying to catch up on her beauty sleep during the plane ride to Austraila. That was fine with Izzy, but the plane kept moving Jen's body against Izzy's. Normally, he wouldn't complain, but, judging by the looks Matt and Tai were giving the poor redhead, he was going to get a talking-to from "the masters" if he didn't put some kind of stop to it. So, with a reluctant sigh, he decided to wake her up.
Now how can I go about doing this without attracting attention? Izzy wondered. Suddenly, the "Fasten Seatbelts" sign lit up.
"We are experiancing minor turbulance. Please fasten your seatbelts," the captain said over an intercom system. Saved by the weather! Izzy thought with a releived smile.
"...Jen? Jen? Wake up, Jen," Izzy said softly. Jen gave no response. She sleeps like a rock! Izzy thought. It seems that I must resort to plan B. Izzy gently placed his hand on Jen's shoulder and tried shaking her awake. Still no response. Of course! Her body must have accustomed itself to motion for her to sleep so soundly on a plane...Now, what's my plan C? Suddenly, Izzy got an idea.
Izzy looked around to make sure that no one was watching him (mainly Tai and Matt). They were both busy trying to work their seat belts, so the redhead seized his chance. He gulped before leaning close to Jen and blowing (with some affection) in her ear.
"Wuh...?" Jen mumbled as she awoke. She turned her head quickly to see what was blowing in her ear. She gasped in surprise when she discovered the source and something else; her nose was a mere centimeter from Izzy's!
"Now you two, not so close," Kakeyu teased as he peered over Jen and Izzy's seats.
"Yea, one would think that you two are trying something," Yaten added. Jen gave another small gasp before sharply turning her face away from Izzy's.
"You two are supposed to be wearing you seatbelts!" Izzy pointed out. Kakeyu and Yaten were standing up to get a better look at the embarrased couple.
"Whatever, bro," Kakeyu said with a careless shrug as he sat down again. He turned around to share what he had seen with Mitz and Adrian.
"What was that all about?" Jen whispered to Izzy. She was now aware that almost everyone who knew them was staring at them.
"Well, umm, seatbelts! The plane-you-wake up..." Izzy mumbled. He was so embarrased that he couldn't string together a sentance. Jen looked up at the glowing sign showing a seatbelt. Suddenly she understood what Izzy was babbling about.
"Why didn't you just put it on for me?" Jen asked while she fastened her seatbelt. Izzy gawked at her.
"I, umm...I figured that...you wouldn't want me...umm, anywhere near...er, ahh..."
"You little goof..." Jen said with a sigh. After a few tense moments of silence, Jen leaned towards Izzy and whispered, "that was three, you know..." Izzy stared at her before he understood.
**********
"I'm starting to hate hotels," Lulu said as she unpacked her stuff again. Jen looked out the window and gasped. There was a beautiful beach! And it was nothing like the ones back at home. In Japan, a beach was just a strip of concrete, then sand, then water (A/N: This is judging by what I've seen in the Digimon cartoon). But this was glorious! The bright sun, the crystal-clear water, the sound of the surf, and the white sand...There was no concrete or roads in sight, either. Also, on the very edge of the beach, there were plants that Jen had never seen before.
"Wow! Check out that hunky lifeguard!" Lulu said with a giggle while she leaned on the windowsill with Jen.
"I want to go..." Jen said with a sigh. Sora and Lulu nodded in agreement. "Alright! Let's change and-" Jen started. She was cut off by a knock at the door.
"What are you three doing? We're supposed to be getting briefed!" Drellus said while he stepped inside the room. "Come on!"
"Where's Izzy?" Jen asked.
"Who knows? Just hurry up!"
While the girls hurried out of the room, Drellus stole a look at Lulu. She felt his gaze and gave him a questionate look. Drellus blushed and looked away.
************
"I don't believe I missed the day at the beach to be talked to death..." Jen groaned while she ate her dinner. Izzy smiled at her.
"There's still a bit of daylight out..." he said, feeling very glad that everyone else was too busy with their own conversations to listen to Jen and Izzy's.
Jen looked out the window and gave Izzy a confused look. "But it's almost sunse-" she started before cutting herself off. She took a long drink of soda because her throat had suddenly gone dry. "Actually, you're right. Let's go."
With that, Jen and Izzy abandoned their plates and went to their rooms to change.
***********
Izzy found Jen at the entrance to the hotel. She was wearing a two-peice bathing suit (A/N: But not a bikini! I'm so sick of how all the DD girls have PERFECT figures. Although Jen has one thing over them; she's not flat like they are!). Izzy could tell that she had taken a lot of time to find it at the store, because it was just loose enough and long enough in the top to hide the fact that she wasn't a size zero, and it was just tight enough in the bottom to show that she wasn't a size in the teens, either. Izzy blushed as they walked outside onto the beach.
"You, uh, look great," he mumbled. Jen smiled and reached over. She grasped Izzy's hand and gently pulled him closer to her. The redhead was wearing a shirt with his swimming trunks, revealing how shy he could be.
"Thank you," Jen said happily. They walked over a hill and towards the water. When Jen saw the beach, she gasped quietly in frustration. The beach was full of teenagers from the WSC!
I'm so stupid. Why did I expect the beach to be deserted? Jen thought with a frown. To her surprise, Izzy was leading her undauntedly towards all the strange plants Jen had seen through her window.
Jen made a distgruntled noise when she and Izzy walked past a couple their age kissing in public. Izzy looked at her, saw the teens, and nodded in agreement. When they were out of earshot, Izzy said, "you think that's gross?"
"Well, couldn't they, you know, find somewhere a bit...less crowded?" Izzy gave her a sad look, and Jen realized that that's exactly what he had been trying to do since the time Garu interrupted them. She blushed and looked down at the sand. A beautiful shell was at her feet. "Look at this!" she said, stopping to pick it up.
"That's a scallop shell. I didn't know they could be that large," Izzy said. "It's a very delicate shell."
"I think I'll keep it," Jen said, gently wrapping the fingers of her free hand around it.
"Now, look what I've found," Izzy said, pointing at the plants. Strange little trees had grown very high. The plants formed what appeared to be a mixture of a grotto and a grove-in other words, a private little clearing with natural walls. Jen, however, couldn't see it through that wall.
"What?" she asked. Izzy didn't respond; he just led Jen through a gap in the lush plantlife. Once inside, Jen could see what Izzy saw; and the best part was, no one else could see.
"Did you expect this to be here?" Jen asked Izzy smiled mysteriously. "Wait a second! That's why Drellus didn't know where you were earlier! You came out here, didn't you?"
"Well, my Mom collects shells, so I was looking for some when I saw this," Izzy said. "And I wanted to show you something else I saw in here..." he said. He reached under a low-growing plant and pulled up a beautiful orange flower.
"Umm, here..." Izzy said, holding it out to Jen. She blushed and took it.
"For me?" Izzy nodded. "Thank you...It's beautiful." Jen said. After a moment of silence, Izzy cleared his throat.
"Should we go? We can't see the sunset," he said. Jen shook her head.
"No, that's okay. Let's stay here for a while..." she replied, sitting down on the sand. "This place...I've never imagined that all these plants could grow so close to the sea! It's almost magical..."
Izzy sat down about a foot away from Jen. The girl gave him a questionate look before scooting so close to him that she was practically sitting in his lap. Izzy blushed heavily as Jen wrapped her arms around his neck.
"I'll...I'll see if I can identify these plants later," he managed to say.
"Mmm hmm..." Jen mumbled as she moved one of her arms a bit so she could rest her head on his shoulder. "Izzy..." she whispered into his ear, "thank you for bringing me here. I love you, Izzy..."
Izzy looked shocked. It took him a minute to come to. "You...I..." Izzy started. That's wrong, you idiot! he thought to himself as he cleared his throat to try again. "I love you, too, Jen..."
This is too good to be true! Izzy thought as he looked around. No one was anywhere near their little hidey-hole, and, if they were, they wouldn't be able to see in anyway. Suddenly Izzy's mind was jerked out of his thoughts. He felt Jen's sweet breath on his face, causing him to jump. Jen giggled.
"Are you awake?" she asked softly. Izzy nodded and wrapped an arm around Jen's waist.
"You startled me," he admitted.
"Sorry," Jen said, looking a little daunted.
"No, don't be..." Izzy told her as he gently touched her face, trying to reassure her. "I'm the one who should be so-" he started. Jen had managed to cast some kind of spell over Izzy again, and he couldn't speak. This is your chance!!!! a voice in Izzy's head shouted. Izzy summoned up his courage and moved even closer to Jen, until inches of space turned to centimeters. He looked into Jen's eyes, silently asking if it was okay. Jen closed her bright, brown eyes in respose. Izzy took one last look at his goddess before closing his own eyes and gently pressing his lips against hers.
What started out as an extrememly clumsy kiss soon developed into a passionate one. Izzy gently ran his hands through Jen's long hair while Jen separated Izzy's lips with her toungue. Suddenly, Izzy's mind screamed "I need air!", causing the redhead to end his first kiss.
While Izzy gasped for air, Jen started giggling hyterically. "You're so funny!" she said. "Didn't you remember to breathe through your nose?!" Izzy stared at her.
"You're going to get it now," he teased, leaning close to Jen to kiss her again.
************
"What took you two so long?" Tai asked when Jen and Izzy returned to the lobby that The Teenage Wolves had claimed for everyone earlier.
"We walked a little too far out. We forgot that we had to walk back," Jen said, using the truth to her advantage. Well, some of the truth.
"I wonder what possibly could have made you forget?" Matt asked, grinning slyly at Izzy. The redhead sighed and realized that he would have a lot of explaining to do when the three of them got into the hotel room.
"You know what the ocean does to teens!" Jen replied happily as Izzy sank into a poufy chair. Jen looked around and saw that his chair was the only one left. She giggled and sat on Izzy's lap and cuddled against him. Izzy blushed and wrapped his arms around her waist again. So what if Matt and Tai teased him? He had his lovely goddess on his side, and for her he'd endure anything (even a lecture from "the masters"!).
