"What, wait?" John questioned. He was confused.
Randy sighed. "Never mind, forget it."
"Did you and Taby get into an argument or something?" John asked curiously
"No, it's just…ugh, just forget it."
John held his hands up. "Whatever you say man. I'm gonna go find Taby to see if she's alright." John then made his way out the door.
"Yeah, you do that." Randy whispered under his breath.
John spotted Taby at the hotel bar.
He went inside and approached her. "I thought you said you don't drink." He said as he pointed to her glass
"It's club soda." She responded
John sat down on one of the barstools "You ok?"
"I'm fine."
"You don't sound fine."
"Well, I am." She replied annoyed
"Whoa, someone's PMSing."
"Screw you, John."
"Name the time and place." He smirked
She sighed. "Look I appreciate what you're doing here but I just want to be left alone."
"I get it."
"Thanks."
After a short while Taby looked over at John because he was still sitting next to her.
"You're still here." She said
"Yeah I am."
"I just said I wanted…"
He cut her off. "I know what you said."
"Ok? So why are you still here?"
"Because." He said simply
"Because what?"
"Because I don't want to leave you alone." He grabbed her hand and held it.
She froze for a quick second before she pulled her hand away. "I can't." She then got up and left. John went after her.
"Taby, wait." He grabbed her and turned her around.
"What is it John?" She asked as she tucked a few strands of hair behind her ear
"Talk to me. Tell me what's wrong?"
"Like you care."
"I do care." He said sincerely
She couldn't help but smile. "You're really sweet, you know that?"
He grinned. "I try. So you want to tell me what you were so upset about?"
"Just Randy being Randy. He can be a jerk sometimes." She complained.
"Tell me about. And that haircut of his? It doesn't even go with his face."
Taby burst out laughing. "You're such an idiot."
Soon Randy approached them.
"Hey, can I talk to you?"
Taby hesitated before she spoke, "Sure."
"Um I'll catch you guys later." John said
"I'm sorry." Randy said after had John left
"You can be a real jerk sometimes." Taby spoke, folding her arms
"I know and I'm sorry. I just worry about you."
"I know you do, ok? But you need to stop. I'm fine."
"But that's just it; you're not fine. You…"
"Stop it!" She half yelled. "Just stop it." She walked away from him.
Randy put his hands on his head and sighed in frustration
Taby began knocking on John's room door.
He opened it and looked at her with concern his face.
"Hey is everything ok?"
"Never been better." She replied sarcastically
He smirked. "So um, you uh, wanna go grab a bite to eat or something?"
"Sure, that sounds nice." She smiled
"Cool, let's go."
After they ate John and Taby headed to the beach that was near the hotel and they were just walking around.
"So why is Randy so overprotective of you?" John asked as he broke the silence
"He just worries about me." She responded
"I think he's still in love with you." He said honestly.
Truth is, deep down John had a feeling Randy still loved Taby. Randy just didn't want to admit it to himself, or to Taby.
Taby laughed. "What? No way."
John shrugged. "It just seems that way."
"Randy and I are just friends. Now come on let's go in the water!" She grabbed John's hand and pulled him towards the ocean.
"What? No! That water's gonna be freezing!" He began heading in the other direction.
She held onto his hand and began pulling him towards the water. "Aw, come on! Please?" She smiled sweetly
John hesitated before he spoke. "Fine!" He then picked Taby up and threw her over his shoulder as he ran towards the ocean. Taby started laughing.
John threw her into the water and when she stood up she began splashing him. John started splashing back, then he tripped over on something and fell in the water. Taby began laughing hysterically.
John got up and began laughing as well. He loved seeing Taby smile. She was beautiful he thought. He went over to her and pushed a few strands of hair away from her face. He then cupped her face with his hands and began leaning closer towards her.
"Stop." She whispered softly
He didn't listen. John continued as he pressed his lips softly against hers. Taby's first instinct was to pull back, but she didn't. She couldn't. His kiss felt like a drug. John intensified the kiss; his fingers were tangled in her hair as he tried to pull her closer. Taby felt chills up and down her spine. She felt week at the knees. The kiss was electrifying.
After what seemed like forever, John pulled back and stared deeply into her eyes.
"I think I'm in love with you." He said.
