When we got into the empty hotel room I walked over to my bag. "What do you
wanna watch?" I asked.
"I don't mind," Jeff replied.
"Ok, erm ." I searched through my bag. "What about American Beauty?"
"Yeah, that's my favourite," Jeff said happily.
I popped the video into the VCR and lay down wrapped in Jeff's arms on the settee. An hour into the movie Jeff looked at me lying in his arms to discover I was asleep. He gently picked me up, trying his best not to wake me he carried me into my room and put me on my bed, pulling the covers over me. He then walked back into the main room and switched off the T.V, V.C.R. and wondered what he should do. He walked back into my room, got into the bed and fell asleep, with his arms wrapped around me.
.::::.
Jeff woke up at 6am and wondered what had happened but when he saw me lying in his arms he remembered. Not wanting Mark to walk in and see him asleep with me in his arms he crept of the bed and lay down on the floor by the bed out of view of the door. He immediately fell back into his peaceful sleep.
.::::.
I woke up at 10am wondering how I'd got to bed. "Oh well, Jeff must have something to do with it," I concluded as I climbed out of bed. I spotted Jeff asleep on the floor. "Aww, poor thing," I pulled the covers off the bed and placed them over Jeff.
I pulled my hair out of the ponytail I had put it in last night and ran a comb through it before walking into the main room. Much to my surprise I saw Mark sitting on the settee. "Hi Mark," I said, pulling the door shut behind me.
"Hi Sam," Mark greeted. "How come you left the club so early last night?"
"Erm ." I hadn't expected Mark to ask me that, I didn't even think he'd have noticed I wasn't there because there were so many people in the club. "You know I don't like clubs so I decided to come back here," I quickly lied as I walked into the kitchen.
"Yeah, I know but you could've told me. I was really worried when I looked for you and you weren't there," Mark said, unaware of the fact Jeff was asleep on my bedroom floor.
"I'm sorry," I told him, switching on the tap pouring a glass of water.
Jeff - the guy my brother detested - had spent the night in our hotel room, and slept on my bedroom floor and was still asleep now. How was I going to get him out without Mark noticing? All of a sudden I had an idea, Glenn. I carried the glass of water through the main room, "What are you doing this morning?" I asked Mark as casually as I could.
"Oh, nothing much, thought I might just laze around here. Got a terrible head-ache," Mark replied.
I nodded. "You might find that's called a hang-over. I'm gonna get ready," I told him, disappearing back into my room. I walked over to Jeff's sleeping form, he looked so peaceful and content. I walked over to the bedside cabinet where my cell phone was. I picked it up and quickly dialled Glenn's cell number.
"Hello," Glenn greeted groggily after about 5 rings.
"Hi, Glenn. I hope I didn't wake you," I said sincerely.
"Oh, no, don't worry, Sam. What's up?" he asked.
"I've got Jeff asleep in my room and Mark's sitting in the living room," I told him.
"You're quick," Glenn said jokingly.
I suddenly realised how it must've sounded. "It isn't anything like that," I explained innocently. "When we left the club last night we came back here and watched a movie, I fell asleep. Nothing like what you're thinking happened, Jeff slept on my bedroom floor . well, I'm pretty sure he did."
"Ok, what do you want me to do?" The Big Red Machine asked.
"Get Mark out of the hotel room," I said making it sound as easy as I possibly could.
"Sammie, even I won't be able to do that!" Glenn exclaimed. "Do you know how much of a hang-over he must have?"
"No, and yeah you will," I said as Jeff began to stir. I smiled at Jeff who lifted his head up and kissed me. "Don't go out of the room," I told him quietly.
Jeff looked at me confused.
"Mark's out there," I said answering all of Jeff's questions. "Go on Glenn, please, just try . for me," I virtually pleaded. "I'd do it for you."
"If I had someone in my room that Mark hated it'd be totally different because I'm not Mark's younger sister and I'm not under 21," Glenn said, trying to prove that if he was in my situation it'd be totally different.
"All very good points but like you said I'm under 21 and in my opinion that's too young to die," I countered preying Glenn would cave.
"Fine," Glenn surrendered. "I'll try, but no promises."
"Thanks Glenn!" I said happily.
"Ok, I'll see what I can do but no promises. See you later," Glenn said as he hung up the phone.
"What's going on?" Jeff asked as he clambered onto my bed and sat beside me.
"Mark's out there," I said looking at the door.
"Yeah babe, but how does Glenn fit in?" Jeff questioned, wrapping his arms around me.
"Oh, well, Glenn's going to try and get rid of Mark so both me and you get the live," I playfully kissed him as Mark's mobile could be heard ringing.
Jeff smiled and kissed me back. I leaned back into his arms. I felt safe like nothing could harm me. "What time is it?"
I looked at my watch. "Quarter-past-ten," I sighed. I didn't want Jeff to have to go but I knew as soon as Mark left Jeff would have to go.
"Gees, I didn't realise it was so late. I've got training and a meeting in 2 hours," Jeff stated.
"Do you want a drink?" I asked.
"Yeah, please."
"Ok, wait here," I said standing up. Jeff flopped back onto the bed.
I walked as quietly as I could out of the room, unsuccessfully trying to catch bits of Mark's conversation. I slumped into the kitchen. Luckily the water in the kettle was still hot from a drink Mark must have just made himself. I quickly made Jeff a cup of coffee before creeping through the living room back into my room where Jeff was waiting. "Here you go," I said as I handed Jeff the drink I had just made him.
"Thanks babe," Jeff said, taking the cup off me. "Is Mark still out there?"
"Yeah, I don't think he's gonna go though . It's going to be even harder 'cause Mark's got a hang-over," I flopped down on to the bed next to Jeff.
"It'll be ok. We'll get out of here without Mark knowing," Jeff reassured as he wrapped his arms around me.
"I hope so," I said. I leaned back to kiss Jeff on the cheek.
"SAM!" Mark called from the other room completely unaware he had just wrecked the 'moment'.
"Urgh," I muttered as I stood up. "Wait here," I said smiling at Jeff.
"I'm hardly going to go walking out there am I?" Jeff asked sarcastically.
"Haha, Sarcasm will get you no where," I joked.
"We'll see," Jeff replied with a mischievous smile.
"SAM!" Mark hollered again.
I opened the door and walked out of the room to see Mark with his coat on.
"I'm just going out to the canteen with Glenn. Dunno what's gotten into that guy. He just phoned me insisting we go to the canteen. Anyone would have thought you were organising a surprise birthday party that you didn't want me to know about but it's not my birthday," Glenn said confused, completely oblivious to the fact that there was something going on that nobody wanted him to find out about.
"I don't mind," Jeff replied.
"Ok, erm ." I searched through my bag. "What about American Beauty?"
