A/N: Hey guys, wow, I'm sorry, I haven't updated in forever. I've been busy. Marching band has been going on, we had our first game Saturday. I had to do a whole bunch of schoolwork. And then of course school started. And that was hectic. But, you know I'll try my hardest to keep updating regularly. ) I'm so sorry for the delay.
Oh, and I have now started the next chapter, so that will be out –crosses fingers- hopefully soon.
Ah, and as always constructive criticism is very much appreciated, and reviews are always nice too.
Well, here's the next chapter!
Enjoy!
When Bobby and Alex awoke they were facing each other with on of their hands on the other's hip. They both woke up at the same time. They were not as upset as the previous day.
They looked at each other. "We woke each other up with our brains." Alex said groggily.
"We have the same sleeping pattern." Bobby pointed out awakening from sleep.
They both smiled a little and eased their hands off the other, however they did not get up.
"Do you want to talk about last night?" Bobby asked.
Alex's expression was blank for a moment as she tried to figure out what he was talking about. When it dawned upon her, her mouth dropped open a small bit.
"Now," Bobby said firmly, "before you say anything, what you did was totally fine. I have absolutely no problem with anything. I did the same thing to you, so it was respectful payback. You were tired last night, and that is a perfect explanation for why you were rambling on as you did. I am correct right?" He gave her a look that said don't even try to talk yourself out of this.
Alex was stunned. "I thought I was supposed to be the hard ass here, Goren."
"Well, I can be a hard ass sometimes too, Eames." He countered.
"So, what are we doing today?" Alex asked changing topic.
"Today is the last real day we can do whatever we want. Tonight there is a big dinner and dance. It's kind of the farewell." Bobby explained.
"That sounds like fun. So, what do you want to do?" Alex asked rolling out of bed.
"I don't know." Bobby said getting out of bed himself. "I'm up for anything."
"Me too." Alex replied.
"I say whatever we do we get out of here before Mr. and Mrs. Nosy come poking in." Bobby said with a smile.
Alex let out a short bitter laugh. "I definitely agree."
They got ready, gathered their things, and got ready to leave.
"Do you want to grab Lewis and Drew and hang out with them today?" Alex asked.
"That sounds like a good idea. We can head over to the school. God knows we'll find something to do." Bobby answered with a chuckle.
They headed down the hall to Lewis's and Drew's rooms. They somehow managed to be right next to each other.
They knocked on their doors at the same time. When they opened Bobby and Alex ushered them together.
"Hey, since we have a free day until six, you want to hand out?" Bobby asked.
"Sure." Lewis said.
"Sounds good." Drew added.
"We'll let you get ready. Meet us in the lobby in… half an hour?" Alex suggested.
"See you then." Lewis said.
"Bye." Drew commented.
"Well, what do you want to do for half an hour." Alex asked.
"You hungry? We could get some breakfast." Bobby suggested.
"Sounds good." Alex countered.
Half an hour later Alex and Bobby were fed and Lewis and Drew were ready for the day waiting in the lobby.
"So, what are we up for?" Alex asked.
"We could go to the school." Lewis suggested. They then started walking towards the school.
"God knows we'll fins something to do there." Drew said with an evil grin.
Bobby let out a hearty laugh. "Oh, yes."
Alex looked up at Bobby. "Do I want to know?" She asked.
Bobby was calming down. "Haha, uh- I don't know. It depends. Do you want to hear about the crap we did when we were in high school?'
Alex chuckled. "That depends, how bad was the stuff?"
"Some of it was horrible. We barely evaded the trouble that was awaiting us. Others were more like practical jokes." Drew explained.
"I think this is a story for when we are a little less sober." Alex said quickly.
Everyone laughed shortly. They had then reached the school. There were a few people variously scattered across the yard. The four of them found a shady spot under some trees and sat down.
"So, what to do, what to do." Lewis said to the group.
"We could people watch, see what everyone else is doing and see if we get any ideas." Bobby suggested.
"Oh, you know how much I love to people watch." Alex told him with a wink.
They sat there ins silence for a while enjoying themselves while they watched everyone else.
All of a sudden Bobby groaned. Alex, Lewis, and Drew all said "What?" And looked at the direction Bobby was staring. Lewis and Drew groaned simultaneously. Alex was still confused. She asked "What" one more time.
Bobby pried his eyes away from the people he was looking at. "That," He pointed to the large group of boys he was staring at moments ago. "Would be my old JV basketball team. They never stopped terrorizing me because I quit. Every year it just got worse and worse, and… shit… they're coming this way."
When they almost reached the group the four of them stood up to face them. They all stuck out their hands. "Good to see you all again." Bobby said.
"Paul, Brian, Dylan, Adam, Justin." Lewis said nodding to each one in turn.
"Well, well, well. If it isn't the quitter and his loser friends." Adam said, he seemed to be the leader of the group.
"Hey." Alex said sharply. "Don't talk to them like that. They haven't done anything to you."
"Oh, and who is this feisty fin lady?" Adam asked.
He then reached over to stroke her upper arm but Bobby stepped inbetween them. "Adam, this is my wife, Alex. Alex, this is Adam, he was the captain of my JV team." Bobby introduced them.
Alex gave him a curt nod.
"Wife?" Adam said flabbergasted. "Baby, what are you doing with this loser? I can show you a good time." Adam said trying to get around Bobby.
Alex was repulsed. "For one, just because Bobby quit doesn't mean that you can torture him for the rest of his life. He had more important things to be dealing with. You can't be mean to him just because without him you only won one game by two points. And if you ever say anything like that to me again I will sue your ass for harassment. Now get away from us, now." Alex said with a look in her eyes that dared them to challenge her.
They slowly shuffled off. They boys were just gaping at Alex and how she stood up to them.
"Alex, that was amazing." Drew told her.
"Fantastic." Lewis added.
"How did you know they only won one game without me?" Bobby asked her.
Alex smiled. "I did some research. Now, how about we got back to the hotel and get ready for later tonight."
And with that they all walked back to the hotel.
