Do I really need to say this every time? Just in case....Disney owns "Miracle"

I don't mind saying that I love all the reviews. Please keep them coming.

Special note: This chapter is for Emador. She made me deal that if she updates her "Miracle" story I would update mine. If you read hers too (which everyone should) you will notice that our new chapters have the same title.

Chapter 17: Rizzo

I have said it before, and I will probably say it for the rest of my life....I love waking up in Jack's arms! I swear I could stay like this forever. However, I know I need to get up if I want to talk to my dad....but what am I going to say? He needs....he wanted....to know how Jack is feeling. He gave me that job. It is just....how do I tell him without spilling the beans about us?

BOOM!

What the! I open my eyes and jump up to find Rizzo sprawled on the floor....face down. I start to laugh. Rizzo looks up at me.

"Sorry. I was trying to be quiet. I didn't want to wake you guys up."

"You didn't. I was up and Jack sleeps like a brick. Besides....it is your room too."

"My shit may be in here, but I have been sleeping else where lately."

"Yeah....about that....I am really sorry....I honestly didn't realize. We would sleep in my room, but it is a little too close for comfort....if you know what I mean?"

"Your dad....yeah I kind of figured. Don't be sorry. I am the team captain the other guys have to let me sleep in their rooms."

We both start to laugh.

"Well at least let me thank you. I....we owe you one."

"Nah....I have known OC forever and I have never seen him like this. You are really good for him."

"You are a really good guy, Rizzo."

"That's not what my ex-girlfriend says."

"Well then she is the one that should be sorry."

"Yeah...whatever...they say there are plenty of fish in the sea, right? I just can't seem to find the right one."

"Patience....good things come to those who wait."

"What is that supposed to mean?"

"Nothing."

I give him a small smile. I know what it means and when this is all over so will he. I am more convinced now that Vanessa is perfect for Rizzo.

"So why are you up so early anyway? I thought girls liked their beauty sleep."

"Are you saying I look less than beautiful this morning?"

Now he looks embarrassed and he starts to stumble with his words.

"No...I...just...I didn't...."

I am nearly hysterical at this point. I wiggle out of Jack's arms and start to get out of bed.

"Don't worry Rizzo. I was just joking with you. Actually I need to talk to my dad."

"Oh. Anything I should be worried about?"

"Nah. Just part of my job."

"Cool. Well I just came in to get my stick. You gonna be at practice?"

"Yeah....that is the plan."

"See you then."

"Bye Rizzo."

"Bye Tara."

After Rizzo leaves I wash up and head out to talk to my dad. I hope I am doing the right thing.
