A note to all who read this:
Sorry for the delay guys. I've been in a huge writer's block because I didn't have any inspiration...until now that is. I've been having some pretty personal conversations with several people and I managed to tell them things that I had been hiding from myself for a very long time. The most important thing that I've picked up in these convos is just to be yourself.
Okay, enough with that...on with the story!

Finding You
Chapter 9 – New Sensations
It was pretty late when we all decided to head back to the hotel. Jas and I made plans to meet up by the boardwalk tomorrow around 12:00 in the afternoon to hang out. She's such a nice person and one of the sweetest girls I've ever met! I know, I know, it sounds like I got a little crush on her right now, and I probably do, but I think we're better off just being friends and besides, that encounter with her reminded me too much of Yolei...O yeah, sorry...what was it you were saying?
Author's Note: Switching to 3rd person POV now!
During Davis's thinking...
"Davis?"
No answer
"Davis?"
Strike two.
"DAVIS AM I TALKING TO A DEAF PERSON OR SOMETHING!"
"O yeah, sorry...what was it you were saying?"
"Did you have a good time tonight?"
"Yeah, I sure did. What about you and Travis?"
"O he asked me out again tomorrow afternoon and of course I said yes."
"That's nice to know." Davis said flatly
"Who was that girl you were with?"
"O you saw us together?"
"Yeah, now let's hear it!"
"Okay...sheesh, jumpy aren't we?"
"Just spill..."
"Well, her name is Jas, short for Jasmine, and she's the daughter of the guy who made the food for the big party. That guy also owns that mini restaurant that you saw us in. Anyway, she's such a nice girl and very...
"Hot?" Yolei said finishing Davis's sentence.
"Well I was going to say sweet, but yeah, I guess she's that too." Davis said.
"O, I see. Does she have a boyfriend or something?"
"Actually, I didn't ask. But I'm not worried about that."
"Why not? You may be stealing someone else's girl ya know..."
"Well, I'd think she would tell me if she was taken, but like I said, I'm not worried about that. I've got someone else..." Davis went a bit too far, and was too late to stop.
"OOO! Who, who?"
Poor Davis was mentally cursing himself and at the same time thinking of a quick escape route.
"What 'who, who'? Are you an owl or something?" Playing dumb was the best solution right now...at least Davis hoped.
"What? You just said you had someone else?"
"No I didn't."
"Yes you did..."
"No, I'm pretty sure I didn't say that."
"Davis, stop lying please...I hate it when you do that, especially to me."
"But...but...o alright. I was gonna say I've got someone else in mind."
"Who is it? Do I know her? Is it Kari again?"
"Why does everyone keep asking me that? Arg...No, it's not Kari and yes you know this person."
"Well who is it? I promise I won't tell."
Davis mentally rolled his eyes and started laughing.
"Yolei, you couldn't keep a secret if you got paid all the money in the world to do it."
Yolei smacked him on the arm.
"Ow! What was that for?"
"For being mean like that!"
"What? It's true isn't it?"
SMACK
"OW! Can you stop doing that please?"
"Not until you tell me who it is!"

Why couldn't they fit more people in the other cabs? Why did we have to end up taking our own? And what the hell is Yolei's problem? I didn't lie, did I? Ugh, I love her, but she's just too much sometimes...wait, I love her? O great...must be my damned hormones getting in the way. Then again, my feelings towards her have never changed even though we fight so many times. I don't know what I'd do without her...

"Davis, I'm waiting..." Yolei said crossing her arms.
Davis just smiled at her.
"You're so cute when you're mad you know that."
"Well, aren't I always cute?" Yolei said brushing some hair out of her eyes.
"Yeah, you are." Davis said moving his hand to brush the rest of her hair out of her face.
"Well, thanks." Yolei said blushing a bit and looking away.
"Look I promise I'll tell you when the time is right, deal?"
"Why not now?"
"The time's not right."
"O okay, I'll settle for that at least."
"That's cool. Can I get a hug?"
Yolei giggled then snuggled herself next to Davis and hugged him. The scent of lavender filled his nostrils once again as Davis slowly buried his face in her hair, closing his eyes. He sighed, quite contented with the fact that this was the right girl he was holding this time. They stayed like that for a few minutes until Yolei spoke up.
"Hey Davis?"
"What's up?"
"Promise me you'll be my best friend forever?"
"Um...what kind of question is that?" Davis said slightly chuckling.
"Just promise will you, ya big goofball!" Yolei gave her friend the look that told him she was being completely serious.
"Yolei, no matter what happens, I'll always be your best friend." Davis said looking Yolei straight in the eye while stroking her hair.
"Thanks." Yolei said as she leaned into him a bit more.
Davis was surprised at Yolei's actions, but just pulled her closer.
"Didn't I tell you that on the plane already?"
"Yeah, but I just wanted to hear it again."
Author's Note: It's about time you see why I titled this chapter of the story the way it is right now. Switching to YOLEI'S 1st person POV!
Gee, I wonder who his dream girl could be this time. He said it wasn't Kari so she's out. Tai would kill him if he gave Sora a 'look'. I don't know any other girls back at school that Davis would want to be with...Hmm...here's a thought: Mimi? Although it is a possibility, I highly doubt it since he doesn't know her that well. Not that he wouldn't go for looks, but still...
And then, like a ton of bricks, it finally hit her square on the noggin.
Is it...me? We have been hanging out more often after that Kari thing, and he's been acting quite strange around me lately. But surely one of the girls in our group would've told me something by now, especially Mimi and Kari. But I don't know...I think he's kinda cute, but it's just weird since we're such good friends. Besides, why would he go for someone like me? I'm way too moody and we always fight a lot. Still though, he's really fun to be with, and he's just a good person at heart, even though he acts like an idiot sometimes. O...I can't think of these things right now! I've got a date with Travis tomorrow. I just hope Davis is okay with this. Wait, why should he care? I don't need his permission to do what I want. And also, he's got that Jasmine girl to hang with, so he should be okay.
"Hey Davis?"
"What's up?"
"Promise me you'll be my best friend forever?"
"Um...what kind of question is that?"
"Just promise will you, ya big goofball!"
"Yolei, no matter what happens, I'll always be your best friend."
"Thanks."
Well, at least I know he'll be here no matter what happens between us. He deserves another hug...
"Didn't I tell you that on the plane already?"
"Yeah, but I just wanted to hear it again."
Author's Note: Switching back to Davis's 1st person POV!
What was that all about? Did she really need to ask me that question? She's so strange sometimes...and that's one of the things I like about her. Geez, I'm strange myself for saying that! I hope she doesn't know that I like her a lot yet. It'd just be too risky. What would happen then if she knew and she rejected? We'd stop talking and she'd hate me for the rest of my life. Even with that promise I just made. But if I don't tell her, I'll end up missing my chance and I'll be regretting why I never said anything. Why did this have to be so complicated! I don't know...maybe we're just meant to be really close friends. But as of now, holding her like this is the closest I'm gonna get to telling how I really feel about her.
"Okay kids, we're here."
The cab ride, and holding Yolei was over...damn. I paid the driver and we got out of the car and met the others in the lobby of the hotel.
Author's Note: Switching to 3rd person POV now!
Meanwhile, in one of the other two cabs...
"So why did we leave Davis and Yolei together again?" asked an innocent Tai.
"Um...to get them to spend some time together?" Sora replied.
"You think it's working?" Joe questioned.
"It had better! Otherwise, I'm gonna smack Davis upside the head!" Mimi exclaimed
"That's Yolei's job..." Joe added in.
"I'm just so excited for them though!" Mimi said hugging her new boyfriend.
Matt in the meantime was sitting in the front seat listening in on the conversation.
"Good luck, Davis." Matt silently said to himself.
And in the other cab...
"Helping Davis out is actually fun." Izzy said looking out the window.
"I wonder how they're doing back there." Ken said looking back at Davis's and Yolei's cab.
"Or what they're doing..." said T.K. implying the obvious.
"Hey, you know them better than that!" Kari said punching T.K. in the arm.
"I was just kidding!"
"I know. But it's really up to the both of them to figure out their feelings."
"Well, all I can say is it's about time those two got together." Cody said playing with his huge stuffed prize. "O look, we're here already!"
The two cabs made it way ahead of Davis and Yolei. Tai gathered everyone and motioned for them to head inside the lobby.
"Okay everyone...don't say a thing to either of them when they arrive. They might suspect something." Tai commanded.
"Shh! Their cab is here already!" Mimi said hushing him.
"Quick! Start talking about something!" Sora said taking one more look at Davis and Yolei who were getting out of their cab and walking to the front doors.
As Davis and Yolei came though the doors, everyone started talking about the beach party all at once.
"Hey guys! Great party wasn't it!" Yolei said picking up on the conversation quickly.
"Yeah, it was...quite fun." said Mimi holding Joe's hand.
"Uh...yeah..." Joe just turned red.
"Are we all ready to hit the sack?" Tai asked the group.
"Yeah!" everyone replied at once and headed for the elevators.
As they headed up to their rooms and walked through the corridor after exiting the elevators, Yolei held Mimi back a bit from everyone else.
"Meems, was there something that happened between you and Joe?"
Mimi couldn't hold it in any longer.
"Yes! We told each other how we felt, and we kissed and..."
"STOP! That's all I needed to hear." Yolei squealed with joy. "At last you two finally got together."
"Yeah. I guess absence really does make the heart grow fonder." Mimi said with a sigh. "Anyway, what happened with you and Davis?"
Yolei's eyebrows went up in surprise. "What do you mean by that?"
Mimi realized what she was saying and tried to cover up quickly.
"O...uh, don't you two fight a lot about useless stuff?" Mimi said in hopes she did a good job.
"Kinda, but not as much as we used to. Why you ask?"
"Just wondering..."
"Um...okay?" Yolei said laughing at her friend's 'randomness'.
Author's Note: Switching to Yolei's 1st person POV!
Okay, that was obvious she knows something that I don't about Davis. Could I be right? Does Davis really have a thing for me now? I don't mind it really, but it's just strange having your best friend crushing on you. Hmm...it's time I do some investigating of my own...and Kari owes me an explanation, hehe...well not really, but I'll just substitute that for the hidden picture on her camera from the plane ride.
And I know you're just dying to see what's going to happen next...I'm way too tired right now so I'll keep you coming back for more by saying so long until next chapter! Please R&R!
