((A/N) Excellent last chapter Kim! I loved it... well thanks to our
reviewers. Ian's family owns the hotel... that's why he met the guys... he
wont be in the story anymore anyhow! Oh yeah... good job Kim on the last
chappy. For those of you wondering, I'm Daria a.k.a shadeykai)
Dayaja and Shanna felt themselves being shaken awake. Dayaja growled and smacked the person in the face. Shanna just moaned and opened her eyes.
"Ow! What was that for?" Kai asked indignantly as Dayaja opened her eyes groggily.
"Oh, I'm so sorry Kai!" Dayaja gasped becoming suddenly wide-awake.
"Never mind," Kai growled.
"Ok," Dayaja replied cheerfully. Shanna shook her head at her sister as she sat up.
"You are so weird Day," Shanna sighed.
"Shut up Shanna," Dayaja growled.
"Do you guys always fight?" Tala asked.
"We don't fight... we argue," Shanna smirked.
"Ok, well lets get something to eat," Johnny suggested.
"Sure, just let us get ready!" Dayaja chirped as she stood up. A few minutes later both girls had their hair back in high ponytails and had washed their faces. Their clothes were straightened and looked perfect. Kai and Johnny raised their eyebrows in surprise as the girls led the way into the bright sunlight.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So, where are you boys going?" Dayaja asked looking at Kai. They were riding in Kai's black Mercedes. Johnny and Shanna were in Johnny's red Camero and Tala and Bryan were in Tala's turquoise Sunfire.
"A concert in Orlando Florida," Kai answered not taking his eyes off the road.
"Really?! That's where were going!" Dayaja exclaimed in surprise.
"Oh, well I thought you were going to your aunts," Kai said looking at her confused.
"No, we were actually going to the concert but we ran into some problems," Dayaja sighed leaning her head against the closed window.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So, where does your aunt live?" Johnny asked as he circled another block in the small town.
"Umm, she lives on Ash Avenue. 406 Ash," Shanna answered slowly.
"Ok, well lets go check it out then," Johnny sighed making a turn to the right and heading towards Ash.
"Why don't you guys stay here for the night? My aunt has a really small house but we can do it. We did last night," Shanna asked looking at him.
"We can talk about it later," Johnny answered as he turned into a driveway.
Shanna nodded and got out of the car she heard a car door slam behind her and say Dayaja getting out of Kai's car and stretching. The two girls walked up the front stairs while the four boys waited beside their cars.
Shanna reached up and knocked on her aunt's door. She and Dayaja exchanged excited glances before the door was swung open revealing a tall slender woman with curly brown hair and soft brown eyes.
"Auntie Sarah!" the two girls chorused before throwing their arms around the smiling woman.
"Hello girls, come in," Sarah smiled at her two nieces.
"Hold on a minute auntie," Dayaja said as she ran towards the boys. "Are you guys going to go ahead? Do you want to stay here tonight and then go tomarrow?" she asked standing in front of the guys.
"Do you girls need a ride to the concert?" Tala asked.
"Really?!" Dayaja asked excitedly.
"Yes," Kai nodded.
"Ok! Well then come inside!" Dayaja grabbed Kai's wrist and dragged him up to the step. The rest of the boys followed.
Sarah raised her eyebrows as the boys stood awkwardly behind the two girls. "Well, come inside then," she smiled and led the way inside. The six teens followed her into the living room.
"Auntie, these boys saved us yesterday and then they offered to drive us to see you," Shanna said pointing to the uncomfortable boys.
"And, guess what, they said they would drive us all the way to the concert!" Dayaja exclaimed happily.
"That's wonderful girls, supper is almost ready if you kids want to... Oh I'm sorry I'm Sarah!" she stopped in mid-sentence to introduce herself.
"I'm Kai, this is Johnny, Tala, and Bryan," Kai said as he pointed to each guy in turn.
"Wonderful, now make yourself comfortable and I will get you some food," Sarah laughed as she entered the kitchen.
"Do you want any help?" Shanna and Dayaja asked in unison.
"No thank you," Sarah called from the kitchen.
"Ok," the girls shrugged and sat down on a dark blue couch. Kai sat down beside Dayaja and Johnny sat down beside Shanna. Tala and Bryan exchanged knowing looks before they sat down on a matching loveseat.
Later that night Dayaja and Shanna lay in the darkness of their guest room. They could hear the boys in the room beside theirs. Sarah had offered to sleep on the couch but no one would hear of it so the twins offered to share a room and the guys would share the other guest room. Sarah was sleeping in her own room and no one was sleeping on the couch.
Soon Dayaja had fallen asleep and Shanna got up and walked out of the room. She silently walked into the living room and was surprised to see Johnny sitting on the couch. He was sitting with his head in his hands and was hunched over. For a minute Shanna guessed he was asleep but when he looked up at her she smiled.
"Can't sleep either Johnny?" Shanna asked as she sat down beside him.
"Nope," Johnny sighed running his hands through his hair.
"Who gets the bed in your room?" she asked.
"Bryan, the rest of us are on the floor" Johnny sighed.
"Why Bryan?" Shanna laughed.
"He's the biggest, no one wanted to mess with him," Johnny laughed.
Oh, well Day and I decided to share... we are twins after all," Shanna sighed.
"Well the beds are really big," Johnny shrugged.
"Yeah, Johnny thank you. I mean we would probably be," Shanna shuddered. "Well anyway without you we wouldn't be hear thank you Johnny," Shanna smiled up at him.
"No problem," Johnny shrugged yawning.
"No I'm serious," Shanna stared at him intently.
Johnny raised his eyebrows as she insisted. "Umm, it was really no big deal," he felt his cheeks getting red, glad that the living room was dark.
"Johnny, I'm going to bed. Have a good sleep," Shanna yawned standing up.
"Wait," Johnny stood up looking down at her.
"What?" Shanna breathed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dayaja sighed as she looked up at her aunt on the step. Obviously Sarah was a little wary of the boys.
"What's wrong?" Shanna asked as the two girls loaded their stuff into Johnny and Kai's trunks.
"I don't think Aunt Sarah likes our decision much," Dayaja confessed.
"It's just because of what happened to her and mom when they hitchhiked," Shanna soothed.
"Yeah, do you think we're hitchhiking?" Dayaja asked as she closed Kai's trunk.
"I dunno, see you later Day," with that the two girls separated and walked to the passenger side of the cars. Day got in Kai's car and smiled at him as he started it. She glanced behind her and saw her aunts worried expression and frowned.
Kai glanced at her and shook his head, "What's wrong?"
"Oh, no, nothings wrong," Dayaja stammered as she blushed.
Kai raised his eyebrow in disbelief and amusement. "Really?" he asked.
"No," Dayaja admitted.
"Oh, then what is it?" Kai asked.
"It's family matters," Dayaja sighed. "You wouldn't understand."
Kai grit his teeth as loneliness invaded his heart. She was right, he wouldn't understand. He couldn't. He had no family, only his power-hungry grandfather. Both his parents had been killed when he was young. His grandfather had killed them. He had killed them because Kai's father was weak and his grandfather simply disliked Kai's mother.
Dayaja felt a silence blanket the car. It was uncomfortable and heavy like the thick dust you find coating your attic. This dust was not coating an attic though, no this dust was coating Kai's heart.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shanna sighed and leaned her head back against the seat. Johnny glanced at her from the corner of his eye causing Shanna to laugh.
"What's so funny?" Johnny asked confused.
Shanna merely looked at him again before shaking her head and laughing.
"Hey, what's so funny?" Johnny asked again.
"You," Shanna relented her secret.
"Why?" Johnny asked.
"I dunno, I think your weird," Shanna laughed as Johnny's eyebrows rose.
"Why?" he asked.
"Because you confuse me. One minute your quiet and withdrawn and the next you are a bit more talkative and a bit... I dunno boyish I guess," Shanna explained.
Johnny thought about this silently as Shanna looked out the window. Was he really confusing? He smiled to himself, causing Shanna to laugh again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tala and Bryan sat in Tala's car watching the back of Johnny's car disappear over a hill. Tala drove up the hill and Johnny's car was once again in sight, as well as Kai's.
"I think Kai and Johnny should go for it," Tala said lightly.
"For what?" Bryan asked.
"The girls. I mean Kai hasn't dated for a while and Johnny broke up with Karen three months ago. Both of them should get back into the dating world," Tala answered.
"You don't have a girlfriend," Bryan scoffed. "You should get one before preaching about relationships.
"I don't see you with a girl either Bryan," Tala shot back.
"I'm not telling people who to date though," Bryan replied calmly.
"God, you're a regular ladies man Bryan," Tala growled sarcastically causing Bryan to chuckle. Tala started to say something else but decided better on it before the car fell into another silence.
((A/N) OK! I'm done! Who thinks we should give Bryan and Tala girlfriends? Kim do you think so? I hope this chappa was a good one... guess what, it only took me one day to write it!!! Well anyhow, read and review please.)
Dayaja and Shanna felt themselves being shaken awake. Dayaja growled and smacked the person in the face. Shanna just moaned and opened her eyes.
