HOLIDAY!
Summary: The Cliffhangers decided to go on holiday together after their graduation of Horizon.
Rating: T all the time.
Genre: Romance, Drama, and involves some Humour.
Disclaimer: I don't own any character descended from the TV show! And I'm not earning money by writing fanfictions about it!
A/N: Yeah, that's a new chap! I'm actually trying to figure out what I'm going to do with this story…well I guess we'll see.
Info: Scott and Shelby are back together. Juliet and Auggie broke up almost two years ago. Juliet is going out with Chris; Auggie is single. Daisy's boyfriend is Marco (Chris's twin). And David is with Melody, a ridgerunner, better friend with the cliffhangers than with her own group.
Characters: All the original students of the show, except Kat… And new characters that I own:
Marco: He landed up at Horizon with his twin-brother Chris after the death of their loving mother who was working in one of the Twin Towers of New-York. He did drugs to mask his pain and forget everything around. Their father is a rich businessman who didn't have time to deal with them.
Chris: Same history as Marco. Except he didn't do drugs; he was a cutter.
Melody: She had a physical abusing alcoholic mother, who died of an overdose. She ran away from her father's house because she felt like a stranger in his family. Complicated story because when her parents had her, his father had already a wife...

Chapter 8: Well-known Desires
"You were not kidding, were you?" Scott asked looking at his gorgeous girlfriend as she turned onto her back to have a bit more sun. They had been interrupted by Ezra telling them everyone was ready to go just after Shelby had told him about her need –no lust- for him.
"No, of course not." She pulled off her sunglasses and looked straight at him. "I love you and I want to give you everything of me." She whispered with confidence.
"Are- are you sure?" He managed to say, though it was hard as she was standing in front of him smiling seductively. She slowly approached him, lying completely on his towel and began kissing his neck. "Shel…Shelby, please stop." He said forcefully as he saw Ezra and Melody grinning at them. Shelby shot them a threatening glare that only shut Ezra up. Melody sent her back a wink. Shelby turned away to look back at her boyfriend.
"Why? You don't want me?" She confusedly asked, pulling away through. Scott took her hands in his and held her close. He leaned over her ear and kissed its lobe.
"I want you more than anything else…but not now, not here above all. I want it to be very special." He explained hoping it wouldn't make her mad.
"Oh…okay, in that case…so, tonight?" He nodded grinning and gave her a quick kiss.
"God Shel, you shouldn't have told me that…now this is all I can think about…" Scott still whispered in her ear and Shelby could clearly hear his frustration. She grinned a bit at him and left for a swim in the refreshing water of the clear blue sea. Scott sighed and quickly followed her as he noticed some guys checking her out as she ran to the sea. He dove under the water and caught up with the others unnoticed by anyone. He opened his eyes under the water and saw Shelby's legs moving gracefully. He smiled to himself and wrapped his arms around her, startling her. He rose to the surface as she began struggling; even through she knew it was him. She grinned as she saw his handsome face reappear and wrapped her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist. They spend a good hour in the sea, and Scott was constantly all over her, kissing and hickeys giving. Daisy watched them from her place on the sand amused and began conversing with Melody about them.
"They're all over each other. Do you think they slept together? That could explain why they didn't hear us last night…" Melody asked her friend as they sat on their towels, facing each other. Daisy shook her head and rested on her elbow.
"No, they didn't. Not yet." She smiled confidently and Melody raised an eyebrow in question. "Yeah, I know Shelby well, and I can tell you it's going to happen soon."
"At her place, I already would have had sex with him. He's particularly cute, you have to admit"
"Melody, he wouldn't have wanted you, even if you were beautiful." Daisy teased her and let out a small laugh as she saw the face her friend made. "Besides, what about David? I thought you were in love?"
"I am but love doesn't make me as blind as you are. I can still recognize a cutie when I see one. And Scott is the cutest of all the guys here."
"Yeah, maybe he is good looking but that doesn't stop him from being an ass with a bad attitude sometimes." Daisy reasoned her, satisfied to see Melody thought she was right.
"Yeah…well, coming to our first subject, do you wanna bet?"
"Bet? On what?" Daisy asked with a sigh. Whatever her idea was, it couldn't be a good one.
"About them…like when they're gonna give in to their lust?"
"I don't think that's a good idea…if they discover, they'll be pretty mad…" Daisy said with much reluctance. She didn't like those sorts of things. Shelby trusted her with her life, so she just couldn't.
"Oh come on, it'll be fun!"
"I'm in!" Juliet said from behind just coming back from the showers. "How much do you wanna bet, Mel?"
"Uh…that depends…fifty dollars that they'll do it before the end of the week."
"Okay, okay I'm in… I bet they'll do it once the holiday is finished." Juliet said with a mischievous smile.
"You're not serious, are you? You think they're going to be able to wait until then?" Melody asked her with a frown.
"Yeah, why not? I waited almost a year and a half before doing it with Chris." Juliet asked with a small smile.
"You're crazy! I'm sure you regret waiting this long now?"
"No…because I wasn't ready before." Juliet said with a proud smile. "And I'm not obsessed by sex like you are." She added, happy to shut her up, for once.
"I knew you were delusional but not that much…" She muttered as Auggie, Chris and Marco came back and she sent them a smile.
"Okay, uh, then I bet fifty they're going to wait one month again." Daisy sighed and nodded regrettably. 'Oh God, in what mess did I get in?'
"What are you girls talking about?" Auggie asked, taking his sunglasses out of the red bag that contained the group objects.
"A bet." Melody said as Daisy sent her a menacing glare. She took it as a challenge and continued. "You want to participate? It's fifty dollars each."
"What's the bet?" Chris asked with a smile that showed his interest.
"The two blondes. We bet on when they're going to have sex."
"Interesting…" Chris said with a grin, looking back at Scott and Shelby who were still enjoying their time together in the sea. "Are you sure they didn't do it yet?" He asked noticing their proximity.
"No, they didn't." Melody said with a sigh. "So, are you in or not?" The three boys nodded vigorously at her and Juliet gave out a squeal.
"God, this is going to be interesting!"
"Yeah Jules…it is…"
Scott took Shelby's hand in his and they both walked towards the others who were already eating their lunches. "Thank you for coming telling us that it was lunchtime. That's really nice." Scott sarcastically said as they both sat next to each other, letting go of their hands.
"Yeah, well, you both seemed to enjoy your time together, we didn't want to bother." David said grinning slyly at Scott who happened to sit next to him. This one gave him a nudge in the ribs and his laugher died instantly. David rubbed his ribs softly and narrowed his eyes at him.
"So…what were we talking about?" Shelby asked curiously meeting Daisy's nervous eyes. She frowned suspiciously and asked her what was wrong with her eyes. Daisy looked away ashamed and Shelby shrugged thinking she would tell her later.
"We were talking about going out tonight? We could go into disco like yesterday. There are some awesome nightclubs here." Melody said quickly, saving everyone's butts.
"Oh, yeah, why not? Providing that you don't go as drunk as you were yesterday." Marco said with a small smile. "Because you were so much we had to carry you to your bedroom Mel." He said sending her a teasing disapproving look.
"Hey, what's that?" Shelby asked as she pulled out a sandwich from the icebox.
"Read, it's indicated on the paper." Chris answered her quickly.
"Thanks." She looked at the paper and saw a 'B' on it. "B… as beef or bacon?" She asked Scott quietly who only shrugged.
"What's 'B'?" He asked for her, receiving a playful smile from Daisy.
"Ask Dais, it's her who wrote on the paper." Chris responded again, his mouth full of food.
"Taste it, you'll see…" Daisy said with a funny grin. She so liked teasing Scott, he was an easy catch…
"Come on Daisy, that's not funny!" Scott whined a bit, making Juliet laughing at the face he made. She thought he looked like a kid who had seen a toy in a store without his parents buying it for him… She was sure that when Shelby and he will have a child he would look just like the picture she had made… Everyone looked at Daisy, saying she wasn't answering it. She waited ten, twenty seconds, then…
"Bacon." She gave up as soon as Marco sent her a warning glare. He didn't want her to tease them again as they were all spending a good time all together for once.
"Thanks Marco." Scott said with a small smile. He took the sandwich Shelby handed him and began eating it. "Um…that's good! Who prepared those?"
"David, Ezra and Chris. Can you believe it? Three guys…" Melody muttered with a sigh. She was a bit astonished, her who didn't even know how to do a salad…
"I should have chosen Ezra over Scott… he doesn't even know how to cut tomatoes…" Shelby said with good humor. Scott smiled a bit at her tease and gave her a small nudge in the ribs.
"Yeah, but he's much cuter than Ezra, sorry Ez, but that's the truth…all above because you're not cute at all." Melody said hurting Ezra without even noticing it. Everyone stopped eating waiting for Ezra's reaction. This one just shook his head and threw his sandwich in the sand, getting up and leaving everyone staggered.
"How? How can you be so heartless?" Daisy said as soon as Ezra was out of earshot.
"Stupid you meant?" Juliet added, particularly mad. She hated when someone attacked her friends, especially when it was someone who was supposed to be another friend. She had been attacked in her past because of her physical appearance and she hated it.
"Both! Arg! I can't believe you said this!" Daisy said, getting up as well. "I'm not hungry anymore. I'm going to see if he's okay. You, prepare your apologies. You'll need them."
Melody looked up at her shocked and confused and continued eating as everyone looked at her. "What? Do I have something on my face?"
"You are incredibly stupid Melody." Auggie said out loud what they were all thinking.
"Oh, miracle! He succeeded in aligning four words without a fault! Champagne for everyone!" She said with a lot of sarcasm. Everybody scowled at her.
"You're not funny Mel." David said finally as all the others looked pleadingly at him. He was the only one she would listen. She swore something under her breath and decided to take a swim to calm down.
Later that day, only a few of them remained at the beach, and among the remainders, were Scott, Shelby (of course, she can't go somewhere without him, ah soulmates!), Daisy and Marco. Both guys had left to play beach volley with some other guys and the girls had preferred staying on their towels, enjoying the last sunbeams. They were carrying a deep conversation, both positioned on their stomach, so that they didn't notice two guys coming over. The two guys sat in front of them on the sand and that's only at that moment that they noticed them. Shelby looked up into the guys' face and nodded knowingly. "Do you need something?" She asked harshly, looking back at Daisy. The guy that stood in front of her gave her a delighting smile and pulled off his sunglasses.
"My name's Timothy and he's Jake. We're very pleased to meet two girls like you two. I guess that doesn't bother you if we're settling ourselves here. The sand is better here, flatter…" He said flirtatiously smiling at her. She looked back at Daisy and exchanged a sigh.
"Yeah, maybe that's because our boyfriends had their towels exactly here."
"How could they leave two beauties alone? They had to be crazy…" Timothy continued, this time winking at Daisy. Shelby sighed again…those guys, they were royal jerks.
"Would you stop your smooth talk? That doesn't work with us." Shelby said tiredly. Not only they were disturbing their conversation, but they were also hiding the sun from them!
"Oh…and what could work then?" The other guy asked, his eyes gleaming of desire at Daisy. Shelby glanced at Daisy in desperation, shaking her head.
"Leaving us, we're not interested…in fact…guys don't interest us…we're more into girls if you understand what I'm trying to say…" Daisy began, knowing she had found a thing.
"You mean? You two are-" The guy in front of Shelby, Timothy, asked.
"Yeah, indeed, we are." Shelby nodded quickly, taking Daisy's hand in hers and kissing it softly. Sh wanted so much to laugh, but knew better than spoil everything.
"Oh…well, sorry but we have to go, we didn't even see the hour." Jake said then got up. Timothy did the same and they both ran back from where they were coming.
"Yeah, that's it, goodbye." Daisy said laughing as they were only a hundred meters away from them.
"What a bunch of jerks…" Shelby muttered once they were out of sight. "By the way, good job Dais…I didn't think it would be so quick."
"Well I had to do something before they lied next to us and massaged our backs."
"Yeah…um, what would you think of joining our boyfriends? It's not that I feel lonely but I miss Scott…"
"You miss him? You, what? Saw him twenty minutes ago! What's up with you?"
"I think I need a physical contact."
"You mean…sex?"
"Um…well you see…this morning you told me about how my life could be good and that I had a great boyfriend…"
"Yeah…but what has that with sex?"
"Well, you remember leaving my bedroom to help Marco with his trunks?"
"Uh, uh?"
"One you had left, I heard Scott in the bathroom and I felt something going through my body." Shelby looked into her friends eyes, smiling a bit. Daisy laughed a bit and motioned for her to continue. "I went straight to the bathroom and embraced him tightly. And then I told him I loved him and wanted to make love to him."
"Oh…wow impressive! How did he react?"
"Well, the thing is that Ezra didn't let him the time as he came and interrupted us."
"But…he didn't try to talk to you about it?"
"Yes, earlier when we were together bronzing. He asked me if I was serious." She said suppressing a chuckle. Daisy lifted an eyebrow amused.
"Guys…they're funny sometimes…"
"Yeah. Well anyways, I told him I really wanted him tonight and he answered me by saying he didn't know how he would be able to contain himself until then."
"So…tonight?"
"Um…probably…unless something makes my mind change about him, or if I'm not in the mood anymore…"
"Yeah…I imagine how he would react, the poor guy. That would be really mean."
"But it won't happen, I'm positive."
"That's good you decided enjoying your time here."
"Yeah, it is." She nodded agreeing, a smile visible on her tanned face.
"So…are you going to try calling Jess tonight?" Daisy asked carefully, coming to the subject that hurt.
"I might, yes. Though I'm not sure of what I should tell her."
"Tell her that you love and miss her. But that you are still deeply hurt by your mother's actions in the past. And also that you are afraid."
"Afraid? I'm not afraid." Shelby asked slightly confused.
"Yeah, you are. You're afraid of seeing your mother in this critical state because deep inside you still care for her. After all, she's still your mother." Daisy reasoned, trying to make her bestfriend see her point of view. Shelby nodded as she knew she was totally right, as always.
"I guess you're right…look can we go now? I wanna see my boyfriend win over the other guys."
"Okay. Let's go then!" They both got up and gathered their things together. They decided to stay in their bikinis seeing as it was still hot even with the wind. They walked together in a comfortable and peaceful silence until they reached the field where their boyfriends were playing. But unfortunately they weren't actually playing. No…they were surrounded by giggly girls that were flirting with them.
"God…I can't believe those two." Shelby muttered narrowing her eyes at everyone who crossed her eyes. "He's going to pay…" She continued advancing quietly towards the small group, Daisy at her heel. "Scott, honey?" She said faking sweetness. Scott turned to look at his girlfriend, smiling at her happily.
"Hey, you! Come here, that I introduce you." He called warmly. The girls all looked at her and Shelby flashed them a menacing glare. That was HER propriety! Scott opened his arms and she melted into them. She titled her head to give him a kiss which was soon returned. Scott pulled away slowly and turned her around, so she was her back to him, facing all the girls. "This is Shelby, my lovely girlfriend." Scott announced mocking her slightly. "And here is Daisy, Marco's girl." He said sharing a secretive smile with Marco. Their girlfriends were going to feel stupid. "Shel, Dais, this is Julia, Andrea, Jenny and Serena. And these are their boyfriends Tony, Klein, Steven and William." He said pointing his finger at the four guys that were still playing. Shelby bit her lip blushing and kicked herself for being so quick to react. And so jealous too… Scott noticed her wincing slightly and chuckled a bit. "You wanna go back home now? Or what?"
"Whatever." Daisy said taking Marco's hand and leading him away from the others. Shelby scowled wondering why they were so secret with each other and Scott questioned himself the same thing.
"Scott?"
"Yeah? What is it?" He asked looking back at her when Marco and Daisy were out of sight.
"I think they're up to something."
"Who?" Scott asked slightly taken aback.
"Dais, Marco, the others too maybe…"
"You're being paranoiac." Scott said with a small smile. Shelby shook her head, taking his hand in hers and leading him away from the 'crowd'.
"You know when we were taking the lunch; I noticed a paper on Melody's towel."
"What?"
"Yeah…I think it was a bet paper… There were names and sums of money and a column with weeks left. I'm pretty sure they bet on us."
"On us? Come on Shel, that's ridiculous."
"If you don't believe me, why not trying to find out what they're saying to each other?"
"Yeah and if they are talking about something private?"
"It's not like we're going to tell anyway. Come on." She led him to a corner when they both rested, hearing what the other couple was saying.
"Daisy what is it?" They heard Marco ask softly.
"We're both going to lose fifty dollars."
"What? What are you-" Marco stopped in mid-sentence. "No! She told you! So when? Tell me." He pressed her, a bit excited.
"Tonight if everything goes well. If not, it will be soon, anyways." Shelby shook her head in disgust. She couldn't believe her bestfriend would tell what she had confided in her. Scott kissed her neck slightly and softly squeezed her hand in comfort.
"You mean they planned on going for it tonight?" Marco asked his eyes becoming big of astonishment.
"Yeah, she told me…so what are we going to do?" They heard Daisy ask with a sigh. Scott looked down at his girlfriend, feeling bad for her. She was devastated. He whispered something to her and that made her feel better at once.
"We can't take away our bets Daisy, or they'll all find out."
"So, what?"
"Prevent them from sleeping together until the end of the week. And then, we'll win."
"But that's cheating!" She protested with a chuckle. They were going to have some good fun by trying to estrange those two from each other…
"Look, Dais, I hate to lose… and with the money we're going to win, we could go out in an expensive place one night and everything…come on!"
"Okay, okay!"
"So…how are we going to proceed?"
"I don't know yet."
"Hey, you two! Are you coming or what?" Scott asked as Shelby and he went to tell them they were about to leave the beach for the house. Daisy noticed the glare Shelby sent her and hoped they hadn't heard her talking to Marco… if they had, she would be in trouble…
"Yeah, we are coming." Marco said quickly, taking Daisy's hand and catching up with the other two who were already walking the way back home.
Hardly her diner finished, Shelby went straight to her bedroom, followed by a hurried Scott. They both had been teasing the other at the table, playing footsie among other little games together… He closed the door and locked it then wrapped her in his arms. Shelby giggled a little as he began sucking her neck and wrapped her arms around his neck. Scott led her to the bed where he sat, as she stood up, pulling off her shirt. She smiled mischievously at him and pulled off her black skirt and her shoes. Scott, who couldn't wait anymore, took her by the waist but she just shook her head amused.
Pulling away Scott took in the sight in front of him. The girl he loved more than anything was right in front of him, barely clothed, hair mussed, looking as beautiful as he had ever scene her. She pushed him from a sitting position so he was now lying on the bed. She jumped on top of him playfully, and straddled him, running her hand delicately across his cheek. "I love you Scott." She whispered, running her tongue all over his mouth, finally entering it as they went for a nice fight. She began unbuttoning his shirt slowly but surely and smiled as she saw his face brightening with excitement. "Make me needed." She said in a sexy voice that made him moan a little. He slowly leaned up to kiss her again, but she pushed him back on the bed, teasing him with running her fingers on every part of his muscular tanned body. "I shouldn't have told you about my need to make love to you."
"What? Why? You don't want it anymore?" He asked a bit worried. She smiled, shaking her head and put two fingers on his lips. He kissed then licked them defiantly.
"No" She said with small childish laughs. "Only because I could have surprised you in your bed at night…and then I wouldn't have had to disrobe you…since you're already sleeping naked." She said still laughing. Scott joined her fun as his hands went up to her bra.
"Shel…can I?" He asked her the permission before undoing it. He knew that after that, there would not be a point of return.
"Sure, that's why we're both here."
"No…I mean, you're sure?"
"Yes, I'm positive." She said giving him another long and warm kiss. "Make love to me." She said looking straight into his baby blue eyes. Scott's fingers went to unhook her bra as hers went to undo the buttons of his jeans. She stopped when she felt her bra fall over her arms and looked down at Scott shyly. Scott smiled reassuringly as his hands went up to caress her chest. Shelby leaned back, moaning softly his name. Scott leaned up a little to kiss her neck and he let his mouth wander down to her breast and her tummy where he stopped, seeing he couldn't go lower due to the fact she had still her panties.
"Shel?" Shelby snapped out of her trance as she heard him call her name. She offered him a smile and nodded softly. "Your…uh, can you help me with this?"
"At one condition…help me taking off your jeans." She said, winking seductively at him.
"Deal." He said with a chuckle, rolling them over so he was on top. He got up and took his jeans off, throwing them on the floor. So they were equal. Both only having one piece of clothes. "Shel…I love you baby." He said confidently, taking away his boxers, his eyes never leaving hers. Shelby tried not to look at his hard member but she just couldn't help herself. She bit her lip softly and looked for only one second as Scott began pulling off her panties. She gasped as how big he already was and smiled as she felt him kiss her feet and toes. She wrapped them comically around his face and Scott bit a toe playfully. Shelby let out a loud laugh and put her hand over her mouth, bursting out laughing. Scott stopped teasing her feet and went to lie back on top of her. He placed his hands on each side of her body and supported himself on his elbows. She wrapped her arms around him and smiled lovingly at him.
"Scott…I you're amazing. I…" She began as her eyes began watering.
"Sh…I know…I never felt this in my whole life…" He confessed, giving her the sweetest kiss ever.
"Me neither Scott…" She said gently caressing his face with her fingers. "Do you have everything in place?" He only nodded in response as he showed her the empty condom packing. "I love you Scott."
"I love you too Shelby." He looked down at her and she nodded. Slowly he entered her, being carefully not to be blunt. She put her hands on his back, already sweaty, and pushed him further inside her. Scott began to moan in pleasure their bodies began rocking together. They kissed each other long, passionately, deeply, showing all the love they had for each other inside their hearts. Shelby felt as she was going to burn from happiness and began moaning softly as Scott licking her sweaty upper body. He couldn't believe how hot she was already. He smiled and rested his hands on her tights, softly tickling her skin. Shelby opened her eyes and their eyes met. She felt like having the need to devour him completely. She kissed his neck then shoulder and gripped onto him for dear life as he gave another push inside. Shelby let her hands rest on his butt, encouraging him inside again. Her actions shocked her a bit but it was like she couldn't control herself anymore. Not with him there, ready to live their fantasies together. And she could see by his gaze that he was as dumbfounded as her and it was a good thing. Their warm bodies continue rubbing with each other for another long time before they felt as they were melting into one another. Scott was slowly coming, but wanted to keep himself to have it together with Shelby. He winced, holding his breath as another wave was about to shake him but knew it was the moment. Shelby looked up into his face, hearing him wincing. She brought one hand to his face and gave him another sweet kiss.
"Let go Scott…please…it's fine." She whispered reassuringly, giving him a kiss on the corner of his mouth.
"Shel…" Scott moaned as he finally let go, giving her a last push. Shelby's eyes widened as she felt the same as he was. As orgasm hit them both, they held onto each other more tightly, and then kissed passionately. Once the wave of pleasure had passed they did not move for about two minutes, heavily breathing. Scott pulled himself off of Shelby's inside smiling down at her colourful face. She looked even more beautiful than before. He took a sheet that was lying at their feet and wrapped their bodies' forms with it. He then laid his head on her shoulder and wrapped his arms around her waist. He began singing softly into her ear to put her to sleep and Shelby sighed contently, closing her eyes slowly and settling herself more into his arms. Scott kissed her neck and shoulder and closed his eyes as well. "I love you. Thank you." He whispered lovingly, with a content smile playing on his lips.
"Thank you." She breathed, and then fell asleep.
--------------------------------------------
I guess you're all wondering what Scott said to Shelby when they were hearing Daisy and Marco's conversation… Well here it goes "Rendez-vous just after diner. They won't think we'll be going for it…"
So, how was it? Please R&R!
