Unexpected Happenings
Author's Note: Um, I really don't have much to say. I do appreciate all of the reviews. And Tek, thanks for saying you'll stick with me. That's cool. Well, here goes Chapter 13. I haven't said this in a while but just to refresh your memory, I don't own RE stuff. Okay, let's go.
Chapter 13- Splash
Scattered across the hotel suite floor, lay video game paraphernalia, Leon's shirt and shorts, and Claire's shirt. There also happened to be other various things scattered across the floor. So when Rebecca knocked on the door, Leon woke up to this sight. Hastily, he picked up his clothes from the floor, and pulled up the comforter over to cover anything exposing Claire. Quickly he walked to the door and opened it.
" Isn't it a little early Rebecca?' Leon asked a little ticked off. He wasn't mad at her, just irritated he had to get out of bed. Rebecca looked over his shoulder to see his room a mess and Claire dozing peacefully in his bed with a smile on her face.
" It's 1:00 in the afternoon Leon." She giggled out. Leon lifted up her hand to glance at her watch. After realizing she was right, he let it drop back down.
" So what do you need? Carlos being Carlos again?" Leon asked. Rebecca shook her head while her giggles subsided.
" Oh No. I just came to see if you three were going to the water park with us. Carlos is asking Chris and Jill now."
Leon nodded and yawned. " Okay, I'll tell Claire. What time do you plan on leaving?"
Rebecca paused to think. " About 2:00. I'd get dressed if I were you."
" Yeah, we'd better. See you later Becca." Leon said as Rebecca turned to walk back down the hall. He closed the door.
Walking back to his bed, Leon tripped over a shoe that evaded his grasp earlier and sent him flying face first towards the ground and landing with a huge THUMP!
Sherry and Claire were both awakened by Leon's fall and looked around the room for any sign of where it could have came from. Sherry then noticed Leon laying face first on the floor she knew what it was. Sherry burst out laughing. Claire looked to see Leon on the ground as well and grinned.
" Leon, you're a dumbass." Sherry laughed out causing Leon to blush and look towards Claire embarrassed at his predicament. He stood up and walked over to Sherry to bop her on the head. She was still laughing at the way he had looked.
Sherry got out of bed, kicked Leon in the butt one good time, and ran into the bathroom before he had a chance to retaliate. Leon turned back to Claire who was looking at him funny. Leon rose an eyebrow.
" What's wrong?" He asked while giving her a good morning kiss on the forehead. Claire looked to the bathroom door to make sure it was closed all the way.
" I can't find my shirt. Or my bra." She told him in a low, embarrassed tone. Leon gave her a glance of realization and searched through the items he had put away earlier. After throwing miscellaneous objects across the room, he found them and gave them to Claire. He turned on the t.v. while she put them on.
" I still cannot believe that tomorrow is our last day here. This is the best vacation I've ever had." Claire said while walking with Leon to the elevator, Sherry in tow. They had just finished getting dressed and were going to meet the others down at the lobby.
" You're telling me. So much has happened these last few days it was anything but relaxing." Leon added. Sherry stayed silent. She was still caught up about last night.
Down in the lobby, Chris and Jill were talking about going to see Barry and his family. Rebecca wanted to see Barry too but she knew that Carlos, being in the military now, would be a problem in his schedule. It was a miracle he got this week's leave. Rebecca pulled Carlos away from the Auto magazine he was reading and dragged him over to Chris and Jill.
" I want to go see Barry too." Rebecca interrupted as Chris was about to say Hello to her and Carlos. He was caught off guard by her quick response and left dumbstruck. Jill just smiled at Rebecca's upbeat demeanor.
" Okay. We just need to talk to him and set up a date." Jill informed her. Carlos was confused as to why he was apart of this conversation.
" Rebecca, why did you pull me over her to discuss going to see Barry?" He asked while scratching the back of his head.
" Because. I want you to come with me. But I know how strict your schedule can be. I wanted to see if you wanted to come at all." Rebecca said with a slightly pissed tone of voice. Carlos continued to scratch his head a minute before smiling at her. Rebecca stared at him dumbfounded.
" You know I'd go anywhere with you Becca. And I haven't seen the Red Baron since the Christmas before last. Just let me work something out with the lieutenant, okay?' Carlos said as he gave her a quick kiss on the lips. Rebecca wrapped her arms around him and was back to her regular hyper self.
" Okay. Hey, where did Chris and Jill go?" Rebecca looked around to see Chris, Jill, Leon, Claire, and Sherry boarding the shuttle preparing to leave without them. Rebecca shrieked and grabbed her stuff. Carlos picked Rebecca up and carried her over his shoulder and ran out the door to catch up with the shuttle. When they opened the doors for them, Carlos fell inside causing Rebecca to fall also. After getting situated they made their way to the others. Chris and Leon were laughing their asses off. Claire and Sherry were laughing right along with them. Jill just shook her head at them trying to suppress the smile that was breaking through.
" Why didn't you tell us?" Rebecca spat out. Carlos looked equally pissed. Jill stood up and sat Becca down. Carlos sat down also. Rebecca just stared at her awaiting a response from Jill.
" We didn't want to interrupt. We weren't gonna leave you, you know." Chris chuckled out loud at the tone Jill replied in. She spoke to the couple as if she was their mother. He figured he should put in his own two cents.
" Besides, you two were the ones who decided to wake me from my slumber this afternoon." Jill laughed at him, which caused Chris to grin.
" Slumber? More like hibernation. You're head is as thick as an ox." Carlos made a Mmm sound agreeing with her.
" Damn straight, I had to slap you in the head with this here foam just to wake you up." He picked up the foam tube they were taking with them from Rebecca's things.
From there on, they continued to make fun of Chris's sleeping habits, Sherry's love life, Rebecca and Carlos' escapade, and Leon's obsession with almost anything, Jill's hair never staying one color, and Chris happily brought up the time when Claire was about 15 and said she wanted to be a stripper when she grew up. This elicited laughs from some and shock from others. Claire openly expressed her feelings by punching him in the gut a few times. And slapping him quite hard in the back of the head. But in the end, they had reconciled. Claire herself was laughing at the memory. Finally they had arrived.
"Where to now?" Chris asked as soon as they had made their way in. Jill was busy taking in the sights until she noticed something was out of place. She turn to Chris calmly and told him: " We need to change." Chris rolled his eyes at her.
" That would help, now wouldn't it?" Chris said mockingly. Jill gave him the finger.
The girls went to change as did the guys and they all met up outside one of the attractions.
" Claire, check out that slide over there." Leon pointed over to a giant water slide, properly named the Disposal. It was one of those three-story water slides that ends up at a giant pool. The line was fairly long but Leon didn't seem to care. Claire looked over at the slide and a smile broke over her face.
" Let's do it." Leon nodded and informed the others that he and Claire were going to get on the slide. Chris and Jill told them to go right ahead and Rebecca and Carlos had gone to rent some rafts so they could float in the pool area. Sherry went along with them.
The two got in line and waited about a good 20 minutes before they had reached the top of the slide. The attendant had told them all of the rules about keeping your limbs inside the raft and all that. Leon and Claire were next.
" I'm beginning to think this wasn't such a good idea." Claire admitted as she looked down towards the ground. Remembering that they were three stories up above ground. Leon too had a nervous look on his face.
" You're not the only one. Well, it's our turn, might as well get it over with. It was nice knowing you Claire.' Leon then began to walk over to the float with his head down as if he was on death row or something. Claire laughed at as playfulness. Leon sat down first, and Claire sat in between his legs. Leon held his arms around her tight so she wouldn't fall out. Claire could feel herself ease into his arms.
" Aw man, here we go." Leon said as the attendant pushed them down the chute.
Claire screamed as the raft swung from side to side on the chute, spinning them around at the same time. They continued to go faster and faster until they finally enter a cave of some sort. Suddenly they stopped. Claire was breathing hard because of the excitement and fear bottled up inside of her.
" I get the feeling this isn't over." Leon said to Claire. He tightened his grip on her. He just knew that something was about to happen. And it did. The light of day rushed at them as the platform inside the cave opened beneath them, sending them into an incline through the rest of the chute. This time they were both screaming. The spinning and waving continued again as they made their way down their way down. Leon's eyes bulged when he saw what was up ahead. A loop. Not the roller coaster kind but a tight twist that would take them up side down. Claire noticed it too.
" Oh shit."
They each could her the WHOOSH sound the raft made as it cut through the water and air. The ride continued until finally They were thrown into a open pool area. Going across the water at bout 60 mph the raft skidding across the water until it reached a gradual stop. Leon and Claire were still embraced.
Leon wiped Claire's wet hair out of his face. " That was awesome. We really need to get Chris and Jill on this." Claire turned to him and laughed.
" Uh uh, Jill would probrally kill Chris for taking her on the ride and then Chris will probrally kill both of us for telling him to." Leon nodded. " You're right. Let's go tell them how much it sucked." They both got up out of the raft and walked to the exit where they met Chris and Jill.
Jill walked up to them. So how did the ride go?" She asked. Chris too had a look of interest on his face. Leon and Claire faced each other and grinned.
Leon and Claire answered simultaneously.
" It rocked!"
After Chris and Jill were 'persuaded' to get on the ride, and they had returned the favor by pushing Leon and Claire into the pool, the gang decided to just chill at the pool for the rest of the day. Leon, Claire, Carlos, and Rebecca got a water basketball game going while Chris and Jill went to watch Sherry dive on the opposite end. Later, they all got together noticed it was getting dark and decided to leave. Each of them went to change and boarded the shuttle that would take them back to the hotel.
It was around 7:30 when the group arrived back at the hotel. Equally exhausted by the day's events, everyone decided that they would grab something to eat and retire to their rooms early. Chris and Jill decided they would go see a movie, Rebecca and Carlos left the group grinning, and then there was three. Sherry, Leon, and Claire.
Leon closed the room door behind him as the girls walked into the room. Claire flopped herself onto the bed. It felt like heaven. Sherry pulled out a number from her purse and turned to Leon.
" Hey Leon, can I use your cell phone for a second?"
" Sure." He replied and took the phone out of his back and handed it to her. Leon and Claire looked on as she dialed a number. After a few seconds, she was engaged in a conversation with...( think about it).
Claire whispered over to Leon, who was laying down over her legs and looking over at Sherry.
" Adam." Leon nodded in agreement and smirked. Sherry put down the phone with a giant smile plastered on her face.
" I'm going to Adam's house for dinner. That okay with you two?" Sherry asked genuinely.
" We don't care. Just don't stay out too late." Leon said smiling. Sherry brushed her hair, grabbed her keys, and was ready to go.
" Later, you two." Sherry said and closed the door behind her.
" She's really happy isn't she?" Claire noticed, trying to ignore Leon's hand creeping onto her stomach. Leon started to tickle her and Claire started laughing and told him to stop. That only made him tickled harder.
" I love your navel." Leon stated out of nowhere leaving Claire confused. She looked to saw Leon admiring her abs. She giggled at him softly.
" Yeah, well, I love you." Claire put her hand to his head and held him there. Leon sighed.
" Oh yeah, you're pretty cool too." He joked. Claire lightly slapped him.
" Leon, what are you and the guys planning for us tomorrow?" Claire asked him. Leon shook his head.
" If I told you it wouldn't be a surprise. Don't worry, you wont't be disappointed."
Claire was silent after that. She just held Leon close to her til she felt herself drift to sleep. Leon too was slowly drifting away. Before she fell asleep, Leon gave her a goodnight kiss. Tomorrow was their last day in the Bahamas. Soon they would be returning to the pressures of normal life. But for these two, a normal life was looking better than ever.
Author's Note: I finally did it. After a week or so, I finished the damn thing. I think you can see the end is near. Don't fret though, if you guys want it, I will happily write a sequel. As always I must thank you guys for the reviews and support. I guess I satisfied my urge to see more l/c fics cause they're popping up everywhere now. I'd say I have 2 or 3 more chapters to go. Drop a review please. Until next time.
