Chapter 2
"Vikki it can't be THAT big of a deal!" I mean think about it, why on earth would Vikki want to go to England?
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT CAN'T BE THAT BIG OF A DEAL! RAW WILL BE THERE AND THAT MEANS THAT I'LL GET TO SEE THEM IF I TALK REALLY, REALLY NICELY AND THEN YOU COULD GO TO!" Vikki yelled breathlessly over the phone.
"Vikki I take it you already have the go ahead to come here and then get the time off to go see RAW?" Duh, she probably begged for hours until the boss man "approved" just to get her out of his hair for a little bit. She could sure be persistent, a trait that came in handy more often than not.
"Ok….. Well maybe I begged a little but ya gotta understand that I can't not go. Randy'll be there and… I swear he's going to marry me."
Silently I shook my head, she had a whole fantasy world for her and Randy it was quite cute. "Vikki, we'll go. But on one condition, you get stuck with me and the smarty pants prince for the rest of the trip!"
"DONE!" There was a slight pause on the other end of the phone. "Harry'll be there to right!"
"Oh NO! You are not allowed to drool all over the place, and if I have to I will buy you a leash so that you can't run rampant over him! GOT IT?" Likely Harry would find any excuse to be somewhere else when Vikki was around for fear of being glomped to death. It just wasn't safe if you were on her "wanted" list of hot men.
"Fine I'll behave….. But then you have to take me shopping!"
"You know I hate shopping what is wrong with you? Fine one day of shopping anything else and I can't promise that you'll still be in one piece. Understood?"
"Of COURSE…. You know me…. Sweet and innocent!"
Yeah I knew her, and trust me that just was NOT likely! Ah well we'd just have to wait and see how all this turned out.
"I'll talk at you later Vikki, right now I have to rest and then go to the next quote unquote destination. You know how it is."
"Unfortunately I do and I'll leave you be. Until later Shelly!"
"Yeah, until later!"
As I hung up I realized how late it had gotten. The time change was definitely going to screw me up, well we'd just have to wait and see, just wait and see…. Now it was just time for good ol' bed.
)-(
"WAKE UP!" someone was screaming, not like I cared who. Of course that was until I got a nice cold bucket of water doused on me!
"THERE'RE ICE CUBES IN MY BED! MATT YOU AREN'T GOING TO BE ALIVE FOR VERY LONG!" I jumped off the bed and chased him into the living room area of the hotel room in short p.j. shorts and a tank top to run into a crowd of men. Trust me not intelligent.
There were a bunch of snickers coming from the men as I chased Matt further until he locked himself in the bathroom.
"Michelle you really need to get that fixed." One of the guys called, "Although I love to watch Matt run from a girl."
I pretended to pout allowing Matt to relearn how to breathe. Hey he deserved it after that little ice cube incident he just pulled. This wasn't the first time he had done this, it seemed to be what he loved to do most in order to torture me to the fullest. God! Why did you stick us together…. Don't answer that!
"Alright Matt! You can come out on one condition!" I hollered at him through the door to the bathroom.
"Do I really want to know what that is or should I stay in here for the next few months?" He really knew me all to well.
"Relax, I won't do anything to ya' this time but you really gotta get rid of your ice bucket on sleeping people fettish. It's bloody COLD!"
Laughing he opened the door and emerged from the sanctuary of the bathroom. "You know it's just too much fun to watch you run around like that. Hell… you look like a chicken with its head cut off."
"I RESENT THAT!" Now that was just not very nice at all. He's going to pay for that little comment whether he likes it or otherwise, but right now I figured we'd have to be going somewhere with such an audience.
"Where to boys?"
The tallest answered my question, "Kate Middleton's house." He had blonde crew cut hair. Quite hot with lots and lots of muscle. Than again they all had lots and lots of muscle, that's why they did the jobs they did.
"And that is?" Ok I know another like I'd know. So she could be some random Londoner but I had a bad feeling about this one.
"She is dating the Prince." And another one who must act like I am brain dead. Jeez people, looks like I'm not all that nosy after all, you know more than I do.
"Look it! I will not spend a day listening to jealous girlfriends. I'm out of here!"
Before I could leave Matt stopped me. "It looks likes you'll have to deal with it as you will be staying with her for the next while."
"I beg your pardon?" That definitely got my attention, I didn't need this. If my jaw could have dropped any farther, trust me it would have.
"That's correct," the tall one answered his shorter cohort finished with, "You'll be staying with her for your cover. You and Vikki will be two of her best friends she made while visiting the States."
"The STATES? He'll see RIGHT through that one, I don't know any Americans that talk like Vikki or I! We don't even know that much about the States. Not that we care, sorry guys, but we just don't."
"And you think he does? Don't worry you'll have your ear pieces so you won't have to worry about any questions, we'll just feed you the answers."
"That doesn't sound like fun… if this doesn't work you can do ALL the explaining. We already know he doesn't want any bodyguards. I don't know how you expect him to take it when he finds out that we are those hated bodyguards and that his father lied when he said he could go out without them for once."
"Breathe Michelle…." Ok sometimes I could talk myself blue in the face but this just wasn't right. No matter how you put it, ah well, I guess its payback time. I had been playing some pretty bad jokes on Matt lately and this was probably what he had meant by payback when I played that last joke. Screw it, I could show him that I wasn't the pathetic teenager I sometimes acted like.
"Alright Matt, I'll do it on one condition. If she gets in my face, I can cough cough subdue her. And I will not take any of her cattiness, oh god no, I will remove her voice box if I have to."
"Michelle! That's not very nice, now you can be just as catty back but please don't make a bloody mess of this."
"Let's just get out of here guys, I'm starting to get impatient."
