Chapter 17
Six days later John and Becki had just arrived back at the hotel from leaving Melody at the airport. After the two days at Becki's, John hadn't seen much of the girls as he was so busy. While Becki worked Randy spent the time tormenting Melody and had even managed to get her to swap numbers with him, John could just imagine those phone conversations!
"Have you heard from Randy yet?" Becki asked throwing her jacket on a chair.
"Yeah, his surgery went well"
"Good" Becki wiped her eyes, both her and Mel had ended up crying at the airport. Becki consoled herself with the thought of going to England in just over four weeks.
John walked over and stood behind her, wrapping his arms around her he said "You'll see her again after Judgement Day, it's not that far off"
"I know, it just seems strange knowing she's not gonna be around all the time"
John laughed "Don't know about strange but it will definitely be quiet"
Smiling Becki replied "That's very true"
John let her go and fell onto his bed "So remind me, am I doing anything tonight?"
"nothing work wise" she sat down on the sofa, playing with a strand of hair.
"So does that mean I can have you all to myself tonight?" John asked wiggling his eyebrows. Much to his frustration John had never been left alone with Becki since they had kissed. He didn't think he was gonna get much time alone with her anytime soon as his cousin Marc was coming on the road with them to promote their album.
Becki laughed and said "You're an idiot!"
"Can I?" John did his best cheesy grin.
"Yeah ok, I need to go and confirm some album signings first"
"Get going then!" John laughed as Becki flipped him off. She grabbed her bag and jacket then left.
Two hours later Becki returned to find John stretched out on his bed fast asleep. She closed the door gently so that she didn't wake him. 'he looks cute asleep' she thought. Walking over to the bed she carefully climbed in and curled up beside him. After ten minutes of watching him sleep Becki reached across him for the TV remote. As she reached his arm wrapped around her waist and pulled her down on top of him.
"Hi" he said sleepily, rubbing his face with his free hand.
Becki grinned and replied "Hey"
"How long you been here?"
"Bout ten minutes"
"Why didn't you wake me?"
Becki smiled "Your cute when your asleep!"
"Cute?"
"Yeah cute!"
"Kittens and babies are cute!"
Laughing Becki asked "What's your point?"
"Pick a better word!"
Before Becki could decide on a better word there was a knock at the door. John groaned as Becki rolled off him and silently cursed whoever was at the door, he got up and went over to the door.
"Jo go away" he said opening the door slightly
"Becki here?" Joanne asked trying to look over his shoulder with a huge grin on her face.
"Yes! Now go away"
"I need to speak to her"
"Tough"
Joanne laughed "What's up with you?"
"Nothing"
"Let me speak to Becki then" Joanne knew what John's problem was, but she found it amusing.
"Fine! Bex"
Becki hopped off the bed and walked over to the door as John walked back to bed and sat down.
"Hey Jo"
"Hey I need you to come and help me with something" she smirked at John who was mimicking her from his position on the bed. Once he realised what she had said he glared at her. Joanne added "It wont take long"
"Ok" Becki turned to John, he was still glaring at Joanne "I'll be right back ok?"
"Yeah ok" John replied as they left.
Becki followed Joanne to her room, once inside Becki asked "What am I helping you with?"
Joanne grinned "Nothing"
"huh?" Becki made her way to the sofa and curled up on it.
"I'm annoying John! What's going on with you two?"
Becki smiled "Nothing why?"
Jo raised her eyebrows "Oh really! That's not what Randy tells me"
Laughing Becki replied "What's he told you?"
"That would be telling! So come on! Tell me"
"We kissed! Once" Bex smiled at the memory.
"Only once?"
"Yes!"
"Are you gonna do it again?" Jo smiled as she sat next to Becki
"How do I know?"
"Well do you wanna?"
"Jo!"
"What?"
When she didn't reply Jo continued "Oh come on, I need some entertainment in my life"
Becki couldn't help but laugh "so my life is your entertainment"
Jo shrugged "Well yeah!"
"Ok I'm leaving" smiling Becki stood up and headed to the door.
"You are so telling me tomorrow" Jo called after her.
Before sheclosedthe door Bex said "I think your turning into Mel".
John was still sat on the bed when Becki returned. She smiled as she closed the door and leant back against it.
"So what do you wanna do tonight?"
John stood up and walked towards her, he got so close to her she was pressed against the door. Resting one hand flat against the door he leaned down to her, as his other hand rubbed her cheek he replied
"This"
Becki melted against him as she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back.
