Title: Now and Forever
The next morning I roll over in bed and see that Hunter is still sound asleep. I love watching him sleep, I think it's the only time he ever looks innocent. My throat feels dry; I guess it's from all the moaning and groaning I had did the night before. I get up out of bed and look in our mini bar but there's no more iced tea. I look back at Hunter and realize he won't even notice if I leave. I throw on his shirt, which is practically a dress on me and head out to the vending machine down the hallway. I stick my dollar into the slot and it comes right back out. I hate when that happens. I try to get all of the wrinkles out of it and try putting back in. I get frustrated when it comes back out. " What the hell does a girl have to do to get an iced tea around here?"
" Maybe I can be of some service." I whip around and see JD leaning against the wall watching me. " Oh hi JD, I didn't see you there." He nods at me then comes over to the machine. He's awfully close to me and I swear for a spilt second I thought he was going to kiss me. Instead he drops four quarters into the machine and presses the button for an iced tea. When it pops out he bends down to retrieve it for me. I thank him and give him my dollar bill. " Hey now I can't take money from a beautiful woman. My mother raised me better then that." I laugh and tell him I owe him a drink somewhere down the line. He offers to walk me back to my room. " No it's all right JD. Besides if Hunter wakes up and notices I'm gone he will probably come looking for me." I notice JD's eyebrows rise at the mention of Hunter's name.
" I met him last night, he's a really cool guy. I hope I can learn a lot from him in this business. I didn't realize that the two of you were a thing." I figure now is as good as a time as any to tell him. I hold out my hand so he can see the engagement ring. " We're planning on getting married next spring. Well I better get going. It was nice talking to you and thanks for the drink. Bye." I rush off before he can say anything else. Whenever I'm around him I get this tingly feeling but I can't exactly explain why. When I get back to my room I try to sneak in as quietly as I can. " Where did you go?" I look up and sit Hunter sitting up in bed. " I needed a drink. My throat hurts and I needed something cold." I crawl back into bed and snuggle up to Hunter. " Why does your throat hurt?" God he can be so damn dense sometimes. " Hmm Hunter let me think, could it be from all of the screaming you had me doing in bed last night?" I look up at him and see that smirk on his face. " Now that I think about it that does make sense. I don't know if you are aware of it or not but this bed has a dress code." I look at him like he has lost it. " Oh yeah and what are the rules?" Hunter flips me onto my back and pulls the shirt off of me and throws it on the other side of the room. " The only rule is to be in this bed you must be naked at all times." As Hunter leans down to kiss me all thoughts of JD rush out of my head.
A few hours later Hunter and I go downstairs to check out. When we go outside we see Mark over at his rental kicking the tires. " What's wrong Mark?" He gives the tire one last kick then turns to glance at me. " Something is wrong with this piece of shit and the rental company said they would send someone to come look at it but that could take hours and I need to get on the road." Hunter goes over to the car and takes the keys out of the ignition then takes Mark's bags out of the trunk. " Go inside and give the clerk the keys and tell them we are leaving. Let the rental company deal with the car. You're riding with us." Mark smirked at me then went back into the hotel lobby. I follow Hunter to our car and smack him. " Ouch that hurt Jess, what's your problem?"
" Do you realize that Mark is going to be in the car with us for the next five hours? He is going to use his time to think of every way possible to abuse me. I thought you loved me." I turn around from Hunter and count to five. Sure enough he comes up behind me and kisses my neck. " I'm sorry baby but Mark's our friend. We couldn't exactly leave him stranded here." I turn around and look at Hunter. " You know what sweetie? Adam was right the other day. You are totally whupped." I squeal when Hunter picks me up and throws me over his shoulder. " Put me down right now."
Hunter starts spinning around then places me back on my feet. I am so dizzy I fall down on the ground. " That will teach you to call me whupped." He tries to help me up but I push his hand away. " Hunter I hope you didn't have your heart set on having sex at all the rest of the week because you're not getting any." I hear a gagging noise behind me and turn around to see Mark. " Darlin that was way too much information. I really don't like to think about you two having sex." I make a huffing noise and glare at him. " Well don't worry because after Hunter's little stunt we won't be having sex." I walk past them and slide into the backseat.
The two guys get into the front and I lay back on the seat. " Jess does this mean you won't speak to us the rest of the trip?" I just grunt at Hunter and take out my headphones. " Well Hunter it looks like our lucky day, the wicked witch has decided not to speak to us." I hear Hunter try to smother the laugh but it doesn't work. I just smile, put my headphones on and close my eyes. I lay there trying to think of some ideas for Mark's birthday.
A little while later I feel someone nudge me. I guess I had fallen asleep. I sit up and I still feel groggy. " Are we there already?" Hunter nods and helps me out of the car. When we get into the hotel lobby to check-in I notice everyone keeps giving me strange looks. I see Mark checking in and go up behind him. " Is there something on my face because everyone keeps staring at me?" Mark looks at me and tells me they are just staring because they probably recognize me from TV. I guess it makes sense. Hunter checks us in and we all go upstairs together. When we get to our room, Hunter invites Mark in to go over some stuff about their storyline. I tell the guys I want to freshen up and go into the bathroom. I flip on the light and look in the mirror. I hear the guys start to laugh when I scream. Someone had drawn devil horns on my forehead and a mustache on me while I was sleeping. I run out of the bathroom and glare at them. Hunter is lying on the bed and Mark is slumped down in a chair. " Go ahead keep laughing. Just tell me this which one of you morons did this?" They start laughing even more when I point to my face.
Hunter points at Mark and Mark points at Hunter. I stand there glaring until Hunter finally breaks down. " Ok it was Mark's idea but it was my marker. But you already are with holding sex from me this week so what else can you do to hurt me?" I tell him he just made it two weeks. Then I turn to Mark. " Mark you will get yours and trust me it will be worse then this."
Review as always.
