Unexpected Happenings
Author's note: Hey, I'm back. This weekend has been pretty hectic for me. Sorry about that. Hopefully school will slow down soon. Well, here we are at the last day in the Bahamas before the gang heads home. I'll try to make it worth reading all of those pages. Appreciate all of the reviews. Enjoy.
Chapter 14- The End is Imminent
Claire could feel the rays of the sunshine through the cracks in the curtain as she opened her eyes. She looked to see the love of her life draped across her lap. She figured they had stayed that way all night. Claire turned to see Sherry was also dozing softly on the bed across. Lightly, Claire lifted Leon's head off out of her lap and slid out of the bed. She went to the bathroom to wake herself up.
5 minutes later, while Claire was in the shower, Leon and Sherry had both woken up. Leon noticed he was alone. He then heard the running water from the shower.
" Claire must be taken a shower." Leon guessed out loud. Sherry nodded.
" Leon, what are we doing today" She asked as she got out of bed. She too was disappointed that tomorrow they would be leaving. Leon shrugged as he heard the bathroom door open.
" Morning Sherry." Claire said as she stepped out with a towel wrapped around her. Claire made her way over to Leon to give him a kiss good morning. Sherry sighed.
" It took you two almost 5 years to get together. Look at yourselves now."
Leon blushed a little as he pulled away from Claire and Claire did as well.
" All thanks to you Sherry." Leon stated while walking to the bathroom to
wash up. Claire couldn't help but smile at Sherry's antics. What was ironic was that Sherry did in fact bond her and Leon closer together. And from there is history. Claire was snapped out of her daze by Sherry waving a box in her face. One of Leon's prized possessions.
" Let's play Grand Theft Auto, Claire?" Sherry asked. Claire nodded and changed into her clothes.
Afterwards Leon had gotten ready, he told the girls Chris, Carlos, and himself were going to do some guy stuff. Leon gave Sherry a knot on the head and Claire a kiss. Once the door shut and Sherry was dressed, the meaningless killing of pedestrians and stealing of a variety of cars began.
Carlos was watching t.v. when he heard a knock at the door. He knew it was Leon. He went up to get it.
" All right, you ready?" Leon asked Carlos. Carlos nodded.
" Come on in while I get my stuff." Leon followed him inside. The bathroom door opened as Rebecca stepped out. She gasped because she didn't know Leon was there.
" Oh! Hey Leon." She greeted him after she realized it was only him. Leon gave her a smile.
" Morning Becca." Carlos turned off the t.v he was watching and grabbed his wallet.
" Let's roll, Leon. Be back later baby" Carlos gave Rebecca a kiss and Rebecca told him bye. Leon followed Carlos out the door.
" Next stop, the old people's room." Carlos joked. Leon chuckled.
" No kidding." Leon knocked on the door a couple of times until Jill opened the door.
" Chris is almost ready. Come on in and wait." Jill let the two through.
Leon and Carlos took a seat on the sofa that was on the other side of the room. Carlos turned back on the t.v. and flipped back to the channel he was watching earlier.
" Commando?" Leon asked surprised. The sound of Arnold Schwarzenegger's massacre on innocent punks boomed from the television. Carlos nodded.
" Yep, one of Arnold's best. Gotta love old 80's action movies." Jill shook her head at the two younger men.
" You men and your movies. Chris is the same way." Without warning Chris wrapped his arms around her causing Jill to tense up and gasp in fright. Leon and Carlos laughed at Jill's facial expression.
" Is that right?" Chris asked Jill while she turned around to see her 'attacker'.
" Redfield, you better be glad this is our last day here cause you have an ass kicking waiting on you when we get back."
Chris turned to Leon and Carlos. " You guys ready?" The two nodded and got up from the sofa. Carlos turned off the t.v. and followed Leon to the door. Chris grabbed his stuff and turned to Jill.
" We'll try to be back by six. We're going to treat you girls to dinner before we reveal our surprises to you. Love you."
" Love you too." Jill kissed Chris fully before letting him go to go do whatever he was going to do with Leon and Carlos.
Later That Day While the Guys were Gone
"What time is it Claire?" Sherry asked as they were walking over to Jill's room. Rebecca was with them. Claire checked her watch.
" About a quarter til 3, why?' Claire asked. Sherry brushed a stray lock of hair out of her face nervously.
" Uh, I was gonna ask Adam if he wanted to come to dinner with us. You all don't mind do you?" Rebecca answered before Claire could reply.
" No, we don't mind. Go ahead and ask him." Rebecca gave the girl a smile. Claire smiled and knocked on Jill's door. They could here Jill coming from the other side.
" Hey, Claire. Rebecca. Sherry." Jill greeted as she opened the door. The other women greeted her back.
" Jill, may I use the phone? I'm going to ask and see if Adam can come with us to dinner tonight." Sherry asked as she sat down on the bed. Jill nodded.
" Go ahead." She then turned to Claire and Becca. " I see it's just us girls today isn't it." Claire and Rebecca nodded. Jill went to sit on the bed across from the sofa where the other two women sat. Sherry was in the middle of her conversation.
Jill turned her attention back to Claire. " So Claire, Leon moving back to New York or what?" She asked.
' He's coming back. And we're going to move in together." Claire replied. Jill smiled. She was happy for Claire. For the longest time, herself, Chris, Becca, Carlos and even little Sherry knew how much Claire missed Leon. And because of this trip, Claire was finally being herself again.
" We have to go on vacations more often if it keeps Claire from gossiping about other people's business." Rebecca said giggling. She saw how Claire and Jill rolled their eyes at her. Sherry hung up the phone.
' Hey, he's coming. Why don't we go do some last minute shopping. Buy some souvenirs." Sherry suggested. She was excited about tonight and wanted to get through the day faster. The other women looked at each other and gave each other questioning glances before agreeing with her.
' It is our last day here. Let's make the best of it." Jill agreed and from there they began to talk about exactly it was they wanted to do.
Meanwhile
" Leon, let me see your cell phone for a second?" Chris motioned for the cell in Leon's pocket. Leon handed it to him as Chris hastily pulled out a number from his wallet. After dialing the restaurant, he began to make reservations.
Leon and Carlos just continued to eat their subs. They had decided to stop a a little sub shop on their way to Carribean Club. It was there that their plan would take effect.
" Man, I got 4 more days until I'm back on the job. But this was one hell of a vacation." Carlos admitted to Leon as he leaned back in the booth. He had eaten enough.
Leon took another bit from his sandwich. "Yeah, I gotta let my superiors know I'm transferring back to New York. These next few weeks are going to be a bitch for me career-wise." Leon told him. Carlos, however, was wide eyed. He didn't know Leon was moving back to New York. Right after they took out Umbrella, the gang lived together in a complex until they could get situated again. Chris and Claire found a house and moved out first. Then Jill. Leon, himself, and Rebecca was last. He and Leon had been roommates for about 6 or 7 months when Leon was offered a job opportunity in Los Angeles. He happily accepted. It was good news to Carlos that his old buddy was moving back home.
" You moving back to New York? Why, the smog too bad for your allergies. Or are you just homesick." Carlos asked. Leon let off a little smile.
" Um, actually it's because of Claire. I want to be closer to her. I don't really care for long distance relationships." Leon explained. Carlos nodded.
" That's cool. You can stay with me and Becca until you find a place. Chris's house is a little crowded as is." Carlos offered. Leon looked over to see Chris still talking on the phone.
" Thanks for the offer but me and Claire are going to find a place of our own." Leon said. Chris overheard this and covered the receiver of the phone and turned to Leon.
" You sure you wanna take that risk, Leon." Chris told him and continued his conversation.
Leon shrugged off Chris's comment and finished explaining why he was returning to New York with Carlos. After 10 more minutes Chris finally gave the cell phone back to Leon.
" Sorry about that. I had to make a few more calls." He looked at his watch. "It's about 4:00 now, let's have some fun."
Carlos' head sprang up as he had just remembered something. " Hey, isn't there an arcade around her somewhere." Leon thought for a second.
" Yeah, there is. Let's go check it out." Chris didn't need to see anything. He just followed.
After 2 hours of their life was wasted on video games, the men had returned back to the hotel. They were on the way to Chris' room now.
Knock Knock Knock
" That must be Chris and the others." Jill said as she looked at the clock. She ended her conversation with Rebecca and motioned for the door. Rebecca nodded.
Jill walked over to the door and opened it. Chris walked in first and gave Jill a kiss which she didn't object to. Carlos and Leon followed him in and went over to their girlfriends. Sherry was intent on watching some movie on t.v.
" Hey, Jill could you girls get dressed in here while me and the boys get dressed in Leon's room? We want ya'll to feel special." Chris asked while giving her a playful smile. Jill smirked at his playfulness.
" Alright. But you better hurry up. Us girls are waiting to be impressed." Jill told him sternly but playfully. Chris saluted. " Yes, mam." He then went to grab his clothes.
Jill went over to the girls to tell them about what Chris said. With that Rebecca and Claire got up and went to their rooms to get their clothes, Leon, Carlos and Sherry followed. Chris saw that everyone was gone and gave Jill a sly look. She returned it and closed the door.
Leon and Carlos began to take turns using the shower while the girls grabbed their clothes. Carlos jumped in the shower first so he Becca kissed him on the forehead before he got in. Claire and Sherry were also about to leave.
" Be ready by seven" Leon told them. Claire mocked blowing him off. " Yeah, Yeah" Leon rolled his eyes. Claire chuckled and walked over to him to give him a kiss on the cheek. " See at seven Leon." Leon blushed. Sherry laughed at this.
"You still blushing Leon" She joked. Leon gave her the finger. Sherry laughed harder and returned the favor. " Oooh, that's good." She laughed her ass out the door. Leon shook his head. " What am I going to do with her?'
A few minutes later while Leon was in the shower, Chris had knocked on the door. Carlos, who was already dressed, went to go answer it."
" Is it room service?" Carlos asked.
" No, it is the police, I'll give you to the count of three to open up." Chris joked.
Carlos opened the door with a grin in his face.
" Man, don't scare me like that." Chris laughed at his face. He couldn't tell if he was being serious or not.
Carlos and Chris decided they would play the Playstation to pass the time. When Leon was finished, Chris had just pulled a fatality on Carlos with Kung Lao. Carlos stared on as the hat was dislodged in his Scorpion's head.
" You bastard." He said under his breath. Chris chuckled and stood up, ready to go wash. "You're not in my league Carlos, do some training."
" Get outta here." Carlos said. Leon was now dressed too. He decided to add insult to injury by picking up Chris' controller and challenging Carlos to a match. Carlos wasn't the one to back down. He accepted.
After some close matches, the duel was finally over. Leon had won 4, Carlos had won 3. Chris came out of the bathroom, now dressed himself. He checked to make sure he had everything and pulled out the little black box from his pocket.
" Here goes nothing" He told himself. Leon and Carlos noticed him getting a bit nervous. Leon offered him some advice.
" Think of it this way, after tonight you'll officially be the new "old guy". Carlos nodded in agreement.
Chris laughed at their non helpful support. " Yeah, I will won't I. I wouldn't want it any other way. Wish me luck." Leon and Carlos saluted as they began to walk out. " Will do, Captain."
With that the three men left the room each with something in store for their women. Chris however, was determined to let Jill know that he wanted Jill to be more than just the love of his life. He wanted her to be a Redfield.
Author's note: I know that this chapter didn't have as much as the others, but I was trying to lead you up to the climatic chapter 15. Originally I planned this chapter to be the climax but things happen. Anyway, next chapter, you will be satisfied. And since some of you feel the same way I do, I'm going to write a sequel. As always, I love hearing from you people so could you please review. Let me know about the story. Frenchy, Dragon, Molotov, Tek, Diddly Day, griever, and everyone else I forgot, you're the best. Hope to hear from you guys more. Until next time.
