Thank you for the reviews!
"Let's go AJ! Pick up the pace."
Thursday morning runs. They were always entertaining. For some reason it was always Thursdays that caused AJ problems. He never could seem to keep up. All we were doing was jogging around a park near our hotel.
"You are so slow!"
"Shut up. It's only cause you have so much energy!"
He walked up to me smirking. I had reached the end of the trail. He had this look in his eyes, I couldn't tell what it was, I just knew it wouldn't be good.
Sure enough, the next thing I knew I was thrown over his shoulder.
"What are you doing? Put me down! Where are we going?" Wide eyed, I yelled at him.
"Chill. It is a surprise. You will love it!" I didn't believe him. I knew I shouldn't.
We get to the hotel. I'm still lost as to what is going on. I know he got a text message. I see a sign on the wall, it reads "pool". Oh, this is no good at all. Before I could even protest I was thrown in to the cold pool. I won't admit it was nice. After the run, it was quick way to cool off. Wow. James is shirtless. I like this. A goofy smile forms on my face.
I get out of the pool grab AJ and force both of us in the pool. When we rise he whispers in my ear.
"I'm going to our room. Seriously, Say something to him already." I elbowed him in the gut.
"Thanks loser." AJ yelled as he walked away.
"Takes one to know one!" I laughed.
"Danni! Nice of you to join me." He laughed. I rolled my eyes as I started to get out. I was stopped as two arms wrapped around me and pulled me farther into the water.
"Oh no. Now that I have company, you are not leaving." He laughed. He was getting a big kick out of this.
"I'm in my clothes!" I pleaded.
"So?" Was his simple reply.
I was looking into his eyes. The courage was building up. I could tell him.
"James, I need to tell you something. I--"
"Well, well, Look who we have here." She just had to come now. Her annoying voice had to ruin my alone time! I was going to tell him. I hate her so much more.
Some kind of supposed words came out of Booker's mouth. No idea what they were. James and I got out of the pool. He handed me his towel. Said he could wait until he got back to his room. We both just wanted to get away.
"Aw. They want to leave now."
"We don't want to get suspended for kicking your asses." James replied while leading me away.
We walked to our rooms, luckily for me they were both right next to each other.
"You said you had something to tell me?" Shit. I thought and hoped he forgot. All that courage was gone. How could I tell him? I was hopeless.
"Nothing, it wasn't important. I should get in the room before AJ sends a search team thinking you kidnapped me." AJ was ordered by my brother to watch over me at all cost. Sometimes it is nice, but sometimes he can be so protective.
James gave me that look of "I know you are lying but I will leave it be for now." He laughed and walked into his room as I walked into mine.
"Did you tell him?!" AJ was in front of me right as a shut the door.
"Hi, AJ. I had a great time being thrown in the pool. Thank you so much." He simply rolled his eyes and stared at me waiting for my reply.
"I was going to! I really was. Then Booker and Sharmel showed up and we didn't want a fight so we left. I lost all courage then." I signed. How much I was terrified to tell him. It would be nice to get it out there.
"You fail!" AJ poked me in the stomach.
I stuck my tongue out at him.
"I'm so going to get even with Sharmel for ruining me moment!"
We both just laughed.
