FFW TO NEXT MORNING
"Fucking alarm!" I heard Randy say, followed by a large thud, "For fuck sake... forget it" Randy sighed, turning over and attempting to pull the covers over him – but elbowing my forehead instead,
"OOWW!" I said, rubbing my forehead,
"Sorry babe" Randy said, turning over and kissing my head, pulling me close, "Why are you always cold?"
"Coz you steal the fucking covers!" I replied, laughing, "What was that thud before?"
"The stupid alarm hitting the floor... good riddance! I hope it's broke" Randy said, seriously, "Who ever invented alarms was a dickhead!"
"You really do hate alarms don't ya" I said, continuing to laugh, before sitting up and checking the time, "What times the flight?"
"Urhh... 2 o'clock" Randy replied,
"Well, c'mon we better get up" I said, trying to escape Randy's clutch,
"Why?" Randy asked, "Its only 9"
"Exactly, we're mena be at the airport for 11..." I replied, "And you take forever in the shower!"
"So... I'll be quicker today" Randy said, I knew he wouldn't be,
"Don't make me get you out of this bed" I said, trying to act threatening,
"Make me" Randy replied, smirking, knowing no matter how hard I tried, I wouldn't be able to make him move – considering the weight difference and strength,
"Don't make me" I said, with an 'I'll give you one chance' look on my face,
"I'm not moving" he said, still smirking,
"Fine... you give me no choice" I said, grabbing his arms and trying to pull him off the bed, but failing epically. Randy quickly pulled his arms back, forcing me to be pulled with them. As I landed on top of him, he quickly locked his arms around my waist so I couldn't move, "Damn!"
"Sorry, what was that? You were gunna make me move?" Randy mocked, before laughing, "Just face it, I'm too strong"
"That's what you think" I said, prying his hands off of me, before pinning his arms down above his head, "Ha!" I said, pretty proud of myself, before Randy quickly flipped us over, so I was now underneath him,
"Ha! Nothing" he said laughing, as I pushed him off of me, forgetting the bed ended and forgetting that Randy was still holding my arms, resulting in us both thudding against the floor, "Ahh shit!"
"Fuck, sorry..." I said, laughing, "Forgot the bed ended"
"No worries" Randy replied,
"Ha! I win!" I replied, laughing, "You're outta the bed!"
"Well..." Randy said, flipping us, so I was underneath him again,
"Stop that" I said, pushing him again so I was lying on top of him. I held his arms by the side of his head and leaned down, kissing him softly, "Now c'mon, you need a shower, and we need to go"
"Fine" Randy said, flipping us, before standing up and pulling me with him,
"Thank you" I said, pulling my top down over my belly, "Now go on, get" I finished, pushing him towards the door.
As Randy showered, I plugged my iPod into his dock and played Taylor Swift's 'Mine' while I began to make Randy's bed and place the suitcases by the door,
FFW 15 MINUTES
"Do you remember we were sitting there by the water?, You put your arm around me for the first time, You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter, You are the best thing that's ever been mine" I sang as I dressed myself in my purple front print racer vest, my dark denim skinny jeans with my pair of black lace up plimsolls. I moved the love heart locket round my neck, as it had moved during the night, so it was dangling down my front and I made sure my bracelet was still on my wrist.
As the song finished and Usher's 'DJ got us falling in love' song began playing, I walked over to the little mirror I had put on Randy's chest of draws, and began to do my make-up. When my make up was done, I placed the studs in my eyebrow, nose and lip.
"Gonna set the roof on fire, Gonna burn this mother fucker down, down, down, down, down, down, Hands up, when the music drops, We both put our hands up, Put your hands on my body, Swear I seen you before, I think I remember those eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes" I sang as I straightened my hair, I placed the straightner's down and began to dance around the room to the song while blasting the chorus, "So dance, dance, like it's the last, last night of your life, life, Gonna get you right, Cause baby tonight, the DJ got us falling in love again"
"Nice singing" Randy said, making me jump, "Oh and nice dancing too"
"Shit!" I said, freezing and looking towards Randy, who was leaning against his door frame, "How much of that did you see?"
"Saw enough to know you're a good street dancer" Randy replied, walking over to me, "Why didn't you tell me you could dance?"
"Didn't see the need to... we're not involved in anything that has to do with dancing" I said, smiling up at him, before pecking his lips and walking back over to drawers and re-starting my hair.
As I finished my hair, I placed my silver aviator sunglasses on the top of my head, pushing my fringe out of my eyes. I grabbed my black studded tote bag and placed my make up bag, brush, purse and mobile inside, before placing it on the floor by the door with my blue varsity style boyfriend cardi. I looked towards Randy, who was pulling a pair of boxers over his knees,
"Nice ass!" I said, giggling,
"Shut it" he said, while giggling with me,
"Now hurry up, we gotta be outta the house at 10" I said, sitting down next to his computer – signing into my hotmail account to check my e-mails. I had 6 new e-mails.
"Ok, ok" Randy replied, while I skim read the e-mails, deleting the unwanted ones in the process. As I glanced at the last message, I saw it was from Carla and Cheyenne and that there was a photo attached. I instantly smiled at myself and began to read it, taking my time – not wanting to rush this one,
Hey Sydney,
It's Carla and Cheyenne... if you don't know. We're missing you loads, and want you to come back. We hope you haven't forgotten about us. How are you? Where are you living? – we would like to come visit you on summer holidays, if you don't mind. We started school again last week, there's a picture of us in our school uniforms for you.
We just thought we should write to you, just so you know that we remember you.
Love you loads,
Carla & Cheyenne xx
I clicked the attachment and the photo Carla and Cheyenne sent me loaded up. It showed both of them in their uniforms. Carla in her red checked summer dress, meaning she was returning to primary school, and Cheyenne in her white t-shirt, red jumper and grey skirt, meaning she was in her last year of primary school. I smiled on at the photo as Randy spoke up,
"Who's that?" he asked, referring to the young girls in the picture,
"Oh... the two girls from the home I was in... They're like my little sisters!" I replied, smiling at him, "Man, I love them... I've grown up with them, and I'm missing their first days of school"
"Well, we'll go by and see them sometime... next week maybe, depending on whether we have signings"
"Seriously?" I asked, smiling a wide smile,
"Yeah serious!" Randy replied, smiling back at me,
"Thank you so so so so so much babe!" I began, getting up and hugging him tightly, "I owe you big time!"
"Imma hold that against you!" Randy said, giggling as I released him, to return to my e-mail, "I'm just gunna go downstairs, see if the folks are up... follow me down when you're done with your e-mails" he finished, kissing me before leaving me to reply. I pressed reply and began composing a message...
Hey girls,
I knew it was you, Mrs. McIntyre told me you would write a letter to me. I'm missing you both too! I just wanna come home and give you both a big hug! I could NEVER forget about you! You're my little sisters! I love you both too much!
I'm fine... how are you both? I hope you're being good for Mrs. M. If you're not I'm gunna have to tickle you both!
I'm living in Florida in America... It's very hot over here and there's some nice beaches, so you're gunna have to come over on summer holidays so we can build sand castles. I would love to have you over.
You both look very smart in your school uniforms... I'm a bit upset that I've missed your first day of school... I'm always there for it! I wish I could be home with you.
I know you remember me, coz I remember you! I could never ever ever forget you!
Anyway, I'm gunna come back over next week sometime, so I'll see you then,
Love you loads,
Sydney xxx
I clicked send and logged off, before turning the computer off, grabbing my bag and heading downstairs to meet Randy.
Randy's P.O.V
I looked over at Sydney, who was sat on my computer checking her e-mails. As I finished pulling on my jeans, I saw a picture of two girls on the screen,
"Who's that?" I asked,
"Oh... the two girls from the home I was in... They're like my little sisters!" Syd replied, smiling at me, "Man, I love them... I've grown up with them, and I'm missing their first days of school"
"Well, we'll go by and see them sometime... next week maybe, depending on whether we have signings" I said, trying to think whether we had any signings,
"Seriously?" she asked, smiling a gigantic smile at me,
"Yeah serious!" I replied, smiling back at me,
"Thank you so so so so so much babe!" Sydney said, getting up and hugging me tightly, "I owe you big time!"
"Imma hold that against you!" I replied, laughing as Syd let me go and returned to her e-mail, "I'm just gunna go downstairs, see if the folks are up... follow me down when you're done with your e-mails" I finished, kissing Syd before making my way down stairs.
As I reached the kitchen, I could hear Nathan speaking to someone; I stood outside the door and decided to eavesdrop,
"But babe..." I heard Nathan say, "Babe! I didn't do it!" I heard him shout in a frustrated tone, "Oh you know what... Fuck it! Fuck you! Fuck everything!" he finished, as I entered the room,
"What's up?" I asked, as he rubbed the back of his neck – a trade we all inherited of our dad, well all of us bar Becks... she liked to look to the roof and scrunch her hands, we all did it when we were frustrated,
"Oh nothing" Nathan replied, sighing heavily,
"Well there obviously is" I said, sitting down keeping my eyes locked on him, "C'mon, you can tell me... I'm nothing like dad"
"I know... but, oh I dunno" he said, sighing again, "have you ever done something in your life that you regret doing, and you lose someone close to you that means everything to you because of it?"
"Yeah" I answered, "More than once... why?"
"Well, there's a rumour going round that I shagged this girl when I didn't! Now Zoey doesn't believe me" Nathan said, rubbing his neck again, "And I dunno what to do"
"Well, you need to tell Zoey that you didn't do it... and if she doesn't believe you, then your relationship is fucked!" I replied, sighing, "I made that mistake with Anna... although I'm glad I did, if I hadn't I wouldn't have met Sydney!"
"So you're saying that maybe this should happened, cause I might find the right one?" Nathan asked confused,
"Yeah... I'm saying that maybe this is how its mena be... if you fight for it and loose, then its mena happen, its life testing how strong you are" I began, "Maybe the next one might be the one...maybe not..." I continued, "Maybe the one after the next... or maybe the 100th one along is the one... you never know" I finished, "Life is weird like that"
"Hmm... Maybe you're right" Nathan said, sitting across from me, "You know... I miss having you here... I don't have anyone to talk to about this stuff; you're the easiest one to talk to"
"You do know I'm only a phone call away... you need to talk, just phone... anytime, any day" I replied smiling, "I'm here if you need me... I mean, c'mon, Beck's phones me at the most randomest of times" I finished, laughing, "Half of the time it's just to ask me if re-occurring kicking is normal... how am I mena know?"
"Oh my god... she can be a right blonde sometimes!" Nathan laughed, "Ok, thanks Randy"
"Anytime little bro... anytime" I said, hugging him,
"Thanks Randy" he said, hugging me back as Sydney walked in,
"Hey babe" I said, as Nathan released me,
"Hey" Syd said, sitting down next to me, "So... what's going on?" she asked, as I looked towards Nathan and he smiled,
"Just some boy troubles" I replied, smiling back at him,
"Oooohhh... Girls?" Syd said, as if she could read minds, "What's the rumour? Kiss and told? Or Shag?"
"Oh my god? How does she know this?" Nathan asked, looking shocked, having to sit down, "Can you read minds?"
"No" Syd laughed, "I'm a girl... this has all happened before in my life"
"But you're his age... how many dudes did you do?" I asked, before realising what I said,
"Too many to count" Syd said, winking at me, "But don't worry... you beat 'em all by at least an inch" she laughed,
"Too much info" Nathan said, laughing with her, while I sat there with a shocked expression,
Sydney's P.O.V
"Hey babe" Randy said, as I entered the room and him and Nathan released each other from there hug,
"Hey" I replied, sitting down next to Randy, "So... what's going on?" I asked, sensing something had gone on,
"Just some boy troubles" Randy replied, smiling at Nathan,
"Oooohhh... Girls?" I said, knowing instantly, I'd had many conversations like this with Jason, "What's the rumour? Kiss and told? Or Shag?"
"Oh my god? How does she know this?" Nathan asked, looking shocked and having to sit down, "Can you read minds?"
"No" I laughed, finding his expression funny, "I'm a girl... this has all happened before in my life"
"But you're his age... how many dudes did you do?" Randy asked, before a look appeared on his face as if he was saying 'why did I ask that?',
"Too many to count" I replied, winking cheekily at him, "But don't worry... you beat 'em all by at least an inch" I laughed,
"Too much info" Nathan said, laughing with me, while Randy sat with a shocked expression plastered on his face,
"Too much info.?" Randy said, smiling cheekily, "That's made my day" he finished winking at me, as I whacked his shoulder,
"Sorry" I replied, smiling at Nathan, "Anyway, we gotta go babe"
"Yeah ok... is dad up?" Randy asked,
"Yeah, he's in the back" Nathan replied, pointing to the door, "You want me to get him?"
"If you don't mind" Randy said, "Have you got everything?"
"Yeah" I replied, "Where at the suitcases?"
"In the boot, dad put them in earlier" Randy said, smiling as his dad entered,
"You ready?" he asked, stopping at the fridge and grabbing a bottle of water,
"Yeah" Randy replied,
"Ok... well off we go" Bob said, smiling as he led the way to the car, as we reached the front door Elaine came down stairs, "I'm taking these two to the airport"
"Ok... I hope you had a nice stay" Elaine said, smiling at me and Randy as she reached the bottom of the stairs,
"Oh yes... Thank you for having me" I replied, smiling back at her,
"Oh anytime dear" Elaine said, "I hope to see you again"
"I hope so too" I replied, smiling at Randy,
"Oh you will" Randy said, smiling back at me, "Anyway, I'll see you in the next couple of weeks mum... Sorry we have to rush off, but the flights at 2 and you know how airports are" Randy finished, sighing, "I don't see the point in having to go 3 hours earlier"
"Oh it's fine darling" Elaine replied, "I'm just glad you came down for the weekend" she carried on, pulling Randy in for a hug, "Now you stay safe! Don't go getting into trouble"
"I won't mum... I'll be fine... and anyway, Syd will keep me in line" Randy replied, hugging his mum back, before releasing her and shouting bye to Nathan,
"And you take care to Sydney dear!" Elaine said, hugging me tightly as I returned the hug, "I don't want you getting hurt either! You're part of the family now! So stay safe!" Elaine continued, "You hear me Randal! You take good care of this girl!"
"I will mum" Randy replied, as we released each other,
"Thank you again, Elaine" I said, smiling, "I really appreciate you letting me stay the past couple of nights"
"It's fine... anytime you need a place to stay... Just come here!" Elaine said, smiling as we walked out of the door, "I'll see you both in a couple of weeks... Bye!"
"Cya!" Me and Randy shouted as we climbed into the car,
