I'm actually getting obsessed with my own story again. It's kinda sad how this keeps distracting me. I was suppose to do my homework and study for a few exams but nope, too busy adding chapters. I love this chapter though. I apologise for any mistakes :D :D :D Don't own anything except the plot
Enjoy :D :D :D
The team all stood outside of the airport wide-eyed and speechless.
"He didnt." Jess said in utter disbelief.
"He did." Everyone could hear the grin in Abby's voice.
"He's really gone all out on this one guys." Connor added. "You were right Abs, Lester does love us. I've never been in one of these before..."
"I have." Becker said casually as he helped the driver place the suicases into the trunk of the sleak black limousine.
They all glanced at him and he shrugged. "My parents hired one out for my sisters when they went to their school ball. I got to have a ride in it."
"You've been in a limo and you've never told us?" Connor was almost as shocked as when he'd first seen the car waiting for them.
He shurgged again, walking around to join the others. "Subject never came up."
"Hold on... You have sisters?" Jess asked suddenly.
There was a hint of a smile on Becker's lips. "Yeah Jess, I have a two older sisters." Matt and Emily slid into the limo first, trying their best to stop themselves from laughing. Abby smirked as she pushed Connor in next. Jess and Becker have to sit next to each other she grinned.
Becker gestured for Jess to go in before him and she smiled, sliding in beside Abby who was still smirking at her. "What?" Jess whispered to Abby as Becker slid in beside her.
Abby just grinned.
o.O~O.o
"He what?" Jess hissed as Abby and Emily grinned silly.
"Connor changed the rooms, with Lester's permission of course." Abby laughed as Jess' face turned a startling shade of crimson. "Connor and I have one Deluxe Ocean Suite. Matt and Emily have the second... and you and Becker are sharing the third."
"No. I-I can't... Abby that's... why? This is..." Jess glared at them both. "Does Becker know about this little intervention?"
The two stopped smiling, their faces turning serious. "Um..."
"Didn't think so." Jess snatched her room card away from Abby and made her way towards the elevators, ignoring their voices as they tried to make her come back.
"What's up with Jess?" Matt asked naturally, passing Emily her own room key.
"She's sharing a room with Becker." Emily replied simply as the two of them watched Jess impatiently tapping her foot against the smooth marble floor while she waited for the elevator. "I don't think she's taking that very well though." Emily's grin widened.
Matt laughed as they made their way over to Connor who was just getting the last of the room keys. "And I'm guessing that's Connor's fault? I heard his name mentioned a couple of times."
"Yeah, he changed them around a bit. We were suppose to have the usual guest rooms but after a little chat with Lester, he got them changed to something more..."
"Awesome." Connor finished Abby's sentence as he wrapped his arm around her shoulders.
"Becker's going to kill you, you know that right?" Matt laughed.
Connor beamed. "On the subject of Action Man. Have any of you seen him? I passed him his room key and then he vanished somewhere..."
The others all shrugged until Abby begun to grin again. "Found him."
o.O~O.o
The numbers were decreasing slower than Jess wanted them too. As she glanced over at Abby and Emily, she saw them grinning away as Matt joined them. She turned back towards the elevator doors frowning. Her foot begun to beat an impatient rhythm on the marble floor as the number reached 15. Fifteen more floors Jess. Why are you so pissed off anyway? You're sharing a room with Becker for crying out loud! They're only trying to help you out.
She was only partly aware of the person standing next to her. After a couple of quiet minutes Jess looked up to see who was standing there and her breath caught. He smiled down at her. "I'm guessing we're sharing a room..." Becker sighed, looking back up at the numbers.
Jess' foot stopped tapping and she glanced over at the others as they begun to make their way across the lobby. "Connor messed around with the rooms." she mumbled.
Becker looked at her again, the tone of her voice worrying him. "Hey, just think of it this way... You can have the whole bed to yourself unlike them."
Jess glanced up at him with a sparkle of hope in her eyes. Suddenly the thought of sharing a bed with him seemed like the best idea in the world.
The elevator doors opened then and the two of them quickly got it, ignoring the others' calls for them to hold it. Jess waved at Connor victoriously as the doors shut in front of them.
Becker leaned against the railing and watched Jess grinning to herself as the elevator took them up. "You're mean..."
She looked at him and her grin widened, leaning against the opposite railing. "You let it close as well Becker. I didn't see you make an attempt to stop it."
"Ah, so we're both mean then."
"Totally. But it'll teach them to mess with the best of the team."
Becker's eyebrows raised, a hint of a smile forming in the corners of his lips. "Is that a compliment Miss Parker?"
Jess' grin widened, masking the soft glow that had appeared on her cheeks. "Who said you were the best of the team? I was talking about me." thankfully the door opened and Jess dragged her bags along behind her, Becker grinning away as he followed along behind her towards their room.
o.O~O.o
Later that night...
"Connor... what are you doing?" Abby whispered from their door as she watched him standing by the entrance to Becker and Jess' room with his ear glued up against their door. "Connor!" Abby hissed.
He waved his arm at her then brought his finger to his lips in a silent gesture. "I can hear them talking Abs... Jess is giggling."
"Connor stop being- wait did you say Jess is giggling?" Abby's tone was lower than a whisper as she tip-toed over to Connor. "Jess hardly ever giggles. Sure she turns bright red when anyone mentions Becker and laughs sometimes but giggle?" she rolled her eyes. "You're an idiot Conn."
"Love you too Abs."
"I've got the glass mate." Matt whispered from behind the couple making Abby jump slightly. Thankfully neither of the two boys noticed.
"Of course you just had to be included in this Matt..." Abby sighed as she made her way back over to her room. "It's late, you guys should be going to bed."
"Yes mum." Connor hummed, his ear now glued against the bottom of the glass against the door.
"I'll call their room..." Abby warned. "Becker will definitely kill you then."
"Aren't you curious as to what they're doing in there Abby? Jess is giggling! Surely Action Man's doing something to provoke that sort of reaction out of her!" Connor sighed, passing the glass to Matt and looking up at his fiancée, silently asking if he could stay and 'spy' on his collegues.
Matt yawned just as he heard footsteps heading towards the door. "Okay I'm out. That plane trip is finally catching up on me." he stumbled to his feet, disappearing into his room. Connor frowned as his quick retreat, the glass resting on his lap.
"Connor. Get in here now." Abby sighed.
Suddenly the door opened and Connor, who had been resting against it lazily, fell over onto someone's feet. Standing there in loose fitting black track pants and a thin grey t-shirt was Becker. He glared down at Connor. "Temple. What on earth are you doing by our door?"
Connor shivered as he stumbled to his feet. "I... I was... I'm going now." he stuttered, quickly disappearing past Abby into their room.
Abby rolled her eyes. "Sorry 'bout him Becker. Tell Jess I said goodnight 'kay?"
"Goodnight Abby." Jess sang from inside the room.
"Try keep Temple away from the door next time." Becker sighed. "See you tomorrow."
Abby smiled. "Night."
Becker shut the door and walked back into the room, spotting Jess sitting in the middle of the large king-sized bed with her legs crossed, fixing her hair into a loose french braid. "Let me guess..." she said quietly when he sat himself down on the sofa. "Connor was sitting on the other side of the door with a glass stuck up against his ear, trying to listen to our conversation."
Becker grinned up at her. "How did you know?"
Jess rolled her eyes. "Abby and I caught him doing that once when we locked ourselves in the bathroom. The guy just doesn't understand the meaning of 'Private Conversation' or 'Personal Space'."
"He never has. I do admit he isn't as bad as when I first joined the ARC. Talk about lack of personal space!"
Jess placed a hair tie around the end of her braid and laughed lightly as he laid herself out across the bed on her stomach. "I seriously can't see Connor being any worse than he already is."
"Oh trust me Jess... he was worse. Much, much worse." Becker yawned suddenly and he reached over to the end of the sofa, grabbing the extra blanket that Jess had found in the small closet. "Okay, well I'm going to sleep now. Night."
"Night..." Jess watched him wrap the extra blanket around his legs as he made himself comfy on the sofa. It doesn't look that comfy... she thought quietly to herself. She sighed, rotating herself on the bed and slipping her legs underneath the covers. She switched off the bedside lamp and they were both plunged into stilled darkness.
Jess laid on her back, staring at the ceiling for a moment. She glanced at the other unoccupied half of the bed. The bed is big enough for the both of you Jess. Just offer it to him! It's bound to be a lot more comfortable than the sofa! She propped herself up on her elbows and sighed again. "Becker?" she whispered.
It was quiet for a moment, only the sound of the wind pressing against the windows and their breathing echoed around the was beginning to think he had fallen asleep.
She frowned. "Becker..."
"Mmm?" he hummed quietly.
"I don't mind sharing the bed. It's a lot more comfortable than that sofa." she suggested.
"It's fine Jess. Just go to sleep." he replied sleepily, his voice muffled slightly by one of the pillows.
"Seriously this bed has a lot of extra space, I honestly don't mind. I don't want you waking up tomorrow complaining about a sore neck."
Silence filled the room again and Jess sighed, rolling over to her side. It was worth a shot.
A few minutes later there was movement by the sofa as Becker got up and moved over to the bed, sliding himself under the covers. "Night Jess."
"Mmm." Jess secretly smiled to herself, glad that she was facing the wall instead of him as her face flushed a bright pink. She closed her eyes and happily let sleep finally take over.
Now to plan the wake up calls... a certain adorable geek will DEFINITELY be involved :D :D :D :D :D
