"Fallen Spotlight"
Moments later...
Shane, Dustin, Blake, and Hunter had their eyes glued on the television screen while Tori, Kapri, and Marah did a little victory dance in front of them. Cam just watched on in amusement with his cousins, enjoying the entertainment. The blonde beaten the guys in a motor cross racing game and creamed Shane in Tony Hawk Pro-Skater 2004, receiving the most points and setting off a new record under high scores. The guys couldn't believe it as their jaws dropped to the floor.
"This is so wrong." Blake dozed off in surprise.
His big brother nods. "I hear that."
Shane was completely stunned himself. "W-What and h-how??" He began stuttering as he looks up at Tori.
She giggles and sticks her tongue out. "It's called having some skills, dofus." Tori threw a couch pillow at him.
Marah chuckles. "This whole guy's night out thing is actually fun."
"Yeah! We should do this again!" The pink head squeals in laughter. Her hideous laugh made the others chuckle.
"Uh yeah, but with you girls out of it." Dustin smiles wide at her.
"Aww..." Tori pursed her lips. "What a shame." She tilts her head down and snickers silently with the girls.
After a few moments of being humiliated, the guys were thankfully relieved once the doorbell rang. Hunter immediately rises up from the floor to get it.
"That must be the pizza dude." Dustin informs them.
"Oh stop trying to change the subject." Tori blurts out. The goofball evilly glares at her.
Hunter made his way to the door as he went ahead and opens it. There stood the pizza guy with 4 boxes delivered. "Alright." He smiles while taking the pizza boxes from him. The guy stood in front of the dirty blonde with a curious stare.
"You..." He points to him. "Hunter Bradley right?"
Hunter began to feel freaked out. "Uh yeah. How did you know?" He raises an eyebrow.
"Oh man! You're the guy that dated hot Natalie Jordan! Am I right?!" The pizza guy pats him on the back. Hunter continues to stare at him weirdly. "Oh my God. What do you know? IT IS! I can't believe I'm standing in front of her boyfriend!" He chuckles excitedly. "You have no idea how many of my guy friends are jealous you! They literally want to kick your ass!"
Hunter forced a smile. "Well, thanks for the pizza." He hands him the money. "Keep the change."
"Oh thanks, man." He stuffs the money into his pockets. "Hey, just wondering are you and Natalie getting back together? Is she in there right now?" The guy goes on his tiptoes to look over him.
This is crazy, Hunter thought. "Alright, thanks for the pizza. Night." The dirty blonde slowly closes the door and sighs heavily in annoyance.
"What was that all about?" Cam comes in from behind as he helped him carry the pizza boxes to the living room. Hunter just shrugs it off. "Oh I see." The computer wiz suddenly senses it. "The guy recognized you, huh?"
He sighs. "You know about it?"
"Well it's posted all over the Internet."
"Great."
They walked in the living room and found the guys putting away the games. "Let's bag it for today and watch some tv." Shane suggested as they all nodded.
"Alright! Pizza!" Dustin immediately jumped off the couch as soon as Hunter and Cam walk in and place the boxes on the coffee table. Everyone gathered around. "We're gonna need some plates, cups, and napkins."
"I'll get the drinks." Blake insists while heading to the kitchen.
"Cool, I'll help you." Tori gets up and follows him.
-----------------------------------------------
"Alright. Let's see..." Tori began searching the cabinets for disposable plates and cups as Blake took out drinks from the fridge. "Hmm...where could he have put them?"
"Here. Check the bottom cabinets." He says while getting ice from the freezer.
Tori knelts down and finds them on one of the shelves. "Oh yay. Here there are." She gets up and places them on the counter. The blonde looks up at Blake and smiles.
The Factor Blue rider couldn't take
it anymore. Blake was drawn to Tori's beautiful features and her killer smile
that he wasn't going to just stand there and look at her. He wanted to hold her
and kiss her as if she was his. He's been wanting to do that ever since he
first arrived and laid eyes on her at the club, but he couldn't. Everything was
suddenly in the way. But at the moment, Blake didn't care nor did he have in
mind that she now belonged to his brother. He couldn't stand how happy and
deeply in love they were. He had the sudden urge to make a move.
"Tori..." He comes standing close to her as the blonde feels his anxious breathing.
She stares at him quizzically. "Yeah?"
Blake stares at her for a few moments as he slowly places a hand on one side of her cheek and began stroking her hair with the other. Tori began to feel nervous as he slowly pulls her head toward his. "Blake we shouldn't--" She trembles as he puts a finger on her lips. "Shh..." The two met lips and shared a sweet kiss.
"Blake?" Tori questions while waving a hand in front of him. "Hello???" She snap her fingers and chuckles. Blake shook his head and came back to reality. "You alright?" The blonde asks in concern while brushing her hair back.
"Huh? Oh yeah." He scratches the back of his head. "Why?"
"Well you've been grinning at me for quite awhile." Tori replies with a chuckle. "You sure you're alright?"
"Oh...umm...yeah." Blake stutters nervously. "I was just thinking." He looks away and blushes.
"Thinking?"
"Yeah. About you." He admits, while stuffing his hands into his pockets. "You're umm...very beautiful, Tor. Even more beautiful than the last time I saw you." He bit his lip and shuts his eyes. God, you're such an idiot, Blake. He thought in stupidity. I should have not said that. But I can't help it. She's too beautiful! No. He shook his head. She's your brother's girlfriend. You can't have feelings for her! BLAH!
Blake was starting to get a headache.
Tori looks away and smiles in pleased embarrassment. "Gee. That's very sweet. Thank you." She replies while glancing away from meeting his eyes. Tori felt flattered, but at the same time confused. Why would he be thinking about me? She wonders as the two stood in awkward silence.
Great. She probably thinks I still have feelings for her. Blake thought while standing in front of the blonde. But I do! I think. Oh God, this is bad...
"So...did the owner of the club hired you?" Tori asks to break the silence.
He looks up and nods. "Yeah, but only when I'm available. I'll be going back to Factor Blue in a few weeks from now, so it's basically just a part time gig."
She smiles while rubbing her stomach soothingly. "Cool." Tori looks away to hide the pain she was enduring inside her body.
He chuckles at what the blonde was doing. "You must be hungry."
"HEY TURN THAT UP!!" They heard Shane yelling from the other room as the two jumped up in disclosure. "I want to see that!"
"What?! No! Turn it off!" Hunter argues back.
Tori looks at Blake and shrugs. "I wonder what they're up to." They grabbed the things from the kitchen and barged out of the room.
----------------------------------------------
"Dude, what are you doing?" Hunter asked once he turned off the tv.
Shane picks up the remote control hidden from under the couch and turns it back on. "You're on television, man."
The dirty blonde scratches his head. "Dude, it's just a picture of me!"
"Exactly. But live." He adds with a smirk. "Now move!"
Hunter rolls his eyes and granted his wish.
Tori and Blake suddenly walks in as all heads were up. "So what's going on?" The blonde asks with a curious stare.
A woman reporter appeared on the black screen as everyone in the room watched on. Shane immediately turns it up.
Live in Blue Bay Harbor is Naomi Kim.
Thank you Barbara. Well, it was just a few weeks ago when 22-year-old model, Natalie Jordan and former boyfriend, Hunter Bradley age 23, were caught together at the beaches of Blue Bay Harbor in this exact area behind me. A photo of Natalie and Hunter kissing is right below the screen, which was taken by an observer who recognized the model. No answers yet in whether the duo are officially a couple. Back to you, Barbara.
Thank you.
Dustin grabs the remote control from Shane and turns it off as Tori stares at the screen blankly. "Oh my God..." Was all she could say. She slowly turns to Hunter in shock. "You're famous now?
He lets out a faint chuckle and sighs. "Uhh...I know. Crazy huh?" He had no idea how to respond to that.
Tori's eyes began to wander as she looks up with her eyes behind her lids. "Yeah." The blonde grunts in pain as she held onto her stomach.
"Sweetie, you okay?" Kapri notices the blonde's nauseous look.
Tori placed a hand on her forehead and nods. "Yeah. Just great." She situates the disposable plates and cups onto the coffee table. The blonde, then, rises up and stumbles.
"Whoa, now. You alright?" Hunter asks in concern as he positions his hands on her shoulders.
"Just fine." Tori looks at him with a weak smile as her helpless body suddenly faints into his arms. Kapri and Marah gasps.
"Oh God..." Hunter quickly catches her and lays her body down on the floor. He stares down at the unconscious Tori worriedly. "Tor, wake up!" He cries, shaking her. "No!"
