Unexpected Happenings
Author's Note: I figured I'd better get one more chapter up before Monday, because I probrably won't have any time during the week. I'm glad to see no one's gotten tired of this yet. You sure surprised the hell out of me. That doesn't mean I want you to stop though. All right. Here goes Chapter 9.
Chapter 9- Caribbean Nights
" Looking good, Kennedy." Leon said to himself while admiring himself in the mirror. He wore a pair of khaki shorts complete with the island shirt. He figured that going island style was the way to go. Checking back on his watch he saw, it was 7:00 on the dot.
Knock Knock Knock.
Taking one more quick glance at himself in the mirror, Leon went to open the door. Sherry stood in the doorway. She stepped in and turned to eye Leon's Caribbean attire.
" Not too bad Leon. Not too bad at all." She nodded her head as she inspected him. Leon looked out the door into the hallway.
" Where's Claire?" Leon asked while going to turn off the t.v. Sherry adjusted her hair while replying.
" Downstairs, waiting for you. I told her I'd come and get you guys. Rebecca and Jill are downstairs too. So get your lazy ass in gear."
Leon grabbed his wallet before opening the door to leave.
" Jeez, Sherry I coming, no need to be rude." Sarcasm dripped in his voice.
Sherry followed behind him. " Yeah, yeah, yeah. Stop your whining."
Sherry and Leon went to pick up Chris and Carlos. They too decided to dress island style. On the way down, Carlos and Sherry kept making fun of each other while Leon and Chris would jump in and make fun of the both of them. Eventually they reached the first floor. Carlos was the first out.
" I know I'm irresistible Sherry but I'm already taken. Maybe you can talk to T.J. instead." Carlos smiled at Sherry coming out of the elevator. She had the look of the devil himself on her face.
" I know you just did not pair me up with your damn dog." Sherry said very slowly. You could tell she was very high on the pisstivity metter.
" Don't take him so seriously Sherry. That was Becca's mistake." Leon said to comfort her. Carlos turned to Leon and rose a questionable eyebrow.
" Hey, what the hell's that supposed to mean?" Leon and Sherry ignored him and continued to walk towards Claire, Rebecca, and Jill.
Chris put a hand on Carlos' shoulder. Carlos looked back at him.
" You figure it out, Carlos." Chris then followed Leon and Sherry, leaving Carlos confused once again. He was just trying to have a good time and get Sherry play along with him. But she ended up getting mad at him
" Seems like the whole I've been here I've been pissing people. Whatever" Carlos shrugged and followed the others.
" Jill, how does my hair look?" Claire said while adjusting the flower she had place behind her ear. Jill rolled her eyes.
" Claire, will you stop asking me that. It's fine." Claire looked over to see others coming towards them. When she noticed how Leon was dressed, she tried to hold back a laugh. Leon walked up to her and gave her a light kiss on the cheek.
" Did you miss me?" Claire shook her head, an obvious smile playing on her lips.
" Not really. So many sexy guys around here I don't know what to do." Leon looked at her with a confused face. But it melted into a teasing smile.
" I feel so used Claire What kind of relationship is this?" Leon joked. Claire just giggled.
" Um, a dictatorship. You're the common man and I'm the tyrant. What I say goes." Leon shook his head.
" Uh uh, I've seen enough tyrants to last 3 lifetimes. Let's just say you wear pants. Or the lack of." Claire caught sight of Leon's mischievous smile and what he was implying. So she pulled on his ear and brought him down to her eye level.
" One more peep out of you Kennedy and you don't get any play time." Claire said to him sternly but honestly. Leon straightened up fairly quickly.
" Sorry, Claire I'll be good." He gave her a puppy dog look. She smirked before taking his hand and leading him out the hotel.
" I forgive you. Now let's go catch up with the others."
Carlos turned to see Rebecca observing the Conga line from the sideline. She looked like she was scared to jump in but was tempted to. Carlos made his way over to her.
" Hey Becca." He said as he went to give her a welcoming kiss. She accepted with no problem. " You wanna try and jump in." Rebecca looked at the line with some uncertainty. It seemed to be moving so fast she was afraid she wouldn't be able to keep up.
" I don't know. I'm sort of scared to jump in." Rebecca explained. She let off a small smile only for Carlos to see. Carlos put an arm around her shoulder.
" Don't worry. I'll go with you. That way you won't get lost." Carlos ran a finger through her soft fiery red hair down behind her ear, and lower to her neck. He knew that was her spot and she would do anything he asked.
Rebecca blushed heavily, her mind heavy with thoughts.
' Damn Carlos, always finding a way to get to me.'
Instead she just grabbed Carlos by the hand unexpectedly and pulled him into the moving snake of a line.
" Look at those idiots out there Jill. Rebecca's gonna pull Carlos' arm off the way she's jerking on him." Chris stated while looking at the love birds less than perfect attempt to be apart of the conga line. He took a drink from his lemonade.
Jill laughed whole-heartedly. " Leave them alone Chris, let them have there fun.' She began to rub her hand up and down Chris' arm. Chris rose an eyebrow and let off a small smile.
" Anxious to get back I see?" Jill's dreamy mood turned to one of annoyance. She slapped him on the arm. Chris laughed out loud.
" I'm just kidding ya Jill Take it easy will ya?" Being quite the gentlemen, Chris got up and walked behind Jill and put his hands on her shoulders. Jill tried to get up but Chris held her down.
" Chris, what are you doing?"
" Giving you a massage. You look like you need one." Chris began to work his hands on her shoulders causing Jill to sigh in relief." Chris smiled.
Jill could feel herself loosing up so she laid back to make it easier for Chris. It was little things like this that made Jill love Chris even more. Not to mention the fact she had feelings for him even before the Mansion Incident. Gazing up at the Caribbean sky, cloudless and sprinkled with the Lord's salt, Jill closed her eyes and let her mind wander. But it wasn't meant to because Claire and Leon were making themselves known once again.
" What are "you" doing?" Claire acknowledged, directing her question to Jill. Leon made his way over to Chris.
" Claire, what does it look like?" Jill replied, closing her eyes, once again. The gears in Claire's head began to churn.
" It looks like you're getting prepared for the workout you plan on giving my brother tonight." Claire said, waiting to see her potential sister-in laws reaction.
Chris turned to Leon then to Claire then to Jill. A smile played on his lips.
" Jill, am I missing something?" Jill sighed and blushed. She threw Claire a nasty look and turned back to Chris.
" I was planning something "special" but here sister can't keep her damn mouth shut. Let's just go dance, all right?"
Before Chris had any time to answer, Jill had grabbed him and was pulling him into the whirlpool known as the conga line. Leon and Claire exchanged glances and smiled. Leon placed an arm around her shoulder.
" We're getting get at this, aren't we?" Leon said out loud. Claire nodded in agreement.
" Every time." Claire replied before turning her head to the others and bursting out in laughter. Leon cocked an eyebrow.
" What's so funny, huh?" Claire motioned over to the dancing line.
Carlos was laying on the ground with Becky holding his head in her lap and fanning him with a flyer. Chris and Jill walked over to them and asked what happened. Becky told them that while dancing, some fat lady had bumped Carlos out of the line with her bottom and sent him flying. Then they too burst out in laughter. Leon and Claire walked over to them.
" What happened to Carlos?" Leon asked while he looked at Becky fanning Carlos. Becky smirked.
" That large lady over there. She bumped him." Leon looked over to see the large lady and realization dawned on him. Claire burst out in laughter for a second time. Carlos rolled his eyes and groaned.
" I hate each and every one of you." He stated irritably and simply. Becky stopped fanning him and gave him a disapproving stare. Carlos shaped up. "Except for you baby."
Chris saw Jill talking to Rebecca and saw this as an opportunity to evade Jill's grasp. He began to tip-toe away towards the grill area with the food but Jill saw him moving in the corner of her eye.
" Redfield, get your ass back here.!" Chris stopped dead in his tracks and his head dropped. He began to mope back over to her.
" Coming Jill." He said with a hint of embarrassment. Jill met up with him and place an arm around his waist.
"Now that I have you, we're going to go on a walk, you got that. Then maybe you'll get that present I had for you." Chris' eyes almost fell out of his sockets.
" Well then let's go!" He put an arm around her waist also and the couple were on their way.
Becky and Carlos decided that they had had enough excitement for one night and told Leon and Claire that they were going back to the hotel. Now Claire and Leon were alone. Leon broke the silence.
" You ready to dance now?" Claire shook her head, a smile still plastered on her face.
" Oh no, I don't think I want to end up like Carlos." Leon chuckled.
" Yeah, me neither. But I don't want to go back to the hotel yet. So what can we do? Claire tried to think of something to do. Then she realized that they were at the beach, And no one was by the ocean because of the party.
" Let's take a stroll on the beach." Claire suggested. Leon looked out into the ocean.
" Okay, it's not high tide yet anyway." Claire grabbed Leon's hand and the two were on their way.
At the Beach
Leon and Claire had walked for about half an hour down the beach strip, making small conversation but mostly just enjoying each other's company. Soon, Leon noticed that they had strayed away from the lights of civilization.
" This must be a secluded area of the beach. No one probrably knows about it." Leon concluded. Claire let go of his hand and sat down in the sand. Leon noticed this and followed suit.
" This is beautiful. I've always loved the ocean. It can be so rough yet so calm." Claire said while admiring the waves. They were inching up closer and closer as the tide was coming in.
Claire laid her head in Leon's lap. Leon smiled inwardly and began to brush her hair lightly.
" Yeah, it reminds me of you Claire." Leon grinned. Claire just smiled into his thigh.
" I know I know." Claire replied. She felt so content when she was with Leon. Like for some reason Leon made Claire feel complete. It was like how she felt when she was with Chris but different. This was a bond that was different from family, friends, or even lovers. It was a bond of souls to her. Claire wondered if Leon felt the same way.
" Leon, when I'm with you I feel complete and I was wondering if you felt the same way." Leon ran his hand down and placed it around her waist bringing her closer to him much to Claire's satisfaction.
" It feels like destiny or something to me. I don't it was coincidence that we met up in Raccoon and we went through all that shit with Umbrella. I feel like you and Sherry are my life now." Leon chuckled afterwards because he was sort of embarrassed of expressing his feelings.
" You know I was going to tell you I love you today." Leon said suddenly. Claire lifted her head up.
" You were?" Leon nodded. " Yeah, but I couldn't wait." Claire smiled. This was truly a romantic night. She was sitting here on the beach with her soul mate and they had not a care in the world when they were with each other. A rush of love spread through her whole body. She kissed Leon passionately and forcefully catching him off guard. But he was so intoxicated by her he let his guard down completely. He felt for her more and more and her for him. Claire could feel him reaching lower and lower and was surprised she was doing the same but she didn't mind it.
As their make out session continued, Leon laid back so that Claire was on top of him. She continued to give him ravenous kisses. Leon was about to black out from the lack of breath so he reluctantly pulled away.
" Claire, are you sure you want to take it there now? I'll wait if you want to." Claire looked into his eyes and put her hand on his cheek. She knew that this night was going to be a highlight of her life and she knew that her first experience with Leon would not be one to regret.
" Yes, I'm sure. I've actually been looking forward to it." She blushed slightly. Leon did as well.
" So have I. I love you Claire."
" I love you too Leon."
And the two continued to express their feelings to each other. The tide forever inching closer and closer.
