This chapter has way too much Jecker in it... :D :D :D There isn't much plotting against Connor or revenge in this chapter but trust me, it will come. Eventually :P Sorry for mistakes :D Don't own anything except the plot and a few minor characters
Enjoy :D :D :D :D :D
Abby stood at the foot of the bed, her eyes trained on the snoring lump laying across the width of the mattress. Her eyes darted to the glasses waiting patiently in the kitchenette, begging her to fill them with water and pour it onto the sleeping Connor.
Her fingers twitched, a smile spreading across her face at the shocked reaction she'd get from him. Serves him right for waking everyone up at six in the morning then going back to sleep himself.
The quiet knock on the door snapped Abby out of her plan for revenge and she made her way over, peering through the peephole, surprised to see Matt standing there with his arms crossed and an angry expression on his face.
She opened the door and smiled innocently at him "I tried to talk him out of it but he didn't listen."
Matt's expression softened, glad that it had been Abby who answered the door. He was sure he would've done something he's regret later if it had been Connor who answered. "It's fine Abby. Emily and I just were wondering if you all wanted to have a group breakfast this morning."
Abby's smile widened while she nodded her head. "We're going to have to minus Connor though."
Matt gave her a confused look, waiting for her to explain.
She sighed exhaustedly. "The brat's gone back to sleep."
His eyes narrowed as a grin slowly crept onto his face. "I'll tell the others that we're leaving now then."
Abby disappeared back into the room for a second, quickly writing out a note for Connor when he woke up – if he woke up – and waited in the hall for the others. Looking out the window at the end of the hall her smile widened even more as the sun shone brightly over a bright blue sky.
"No seriously Becker the guy was staring at you!" Jess' amused voice echoed from down the hall.
"He's was watching you..." Becker objected.
"Nope... girls have the ability to know the difference and he was definitely watching you. Abby! You're up." Jess bound down the rest of the hall and crushed Abby in a hug. "I was just telling Becker that the waiter down in the restraunt was so checking him out!"
Abby laughed.
"He was not Jess!"
Jess shook her head. "I know what I saw Becker."
Abby smiled, mentally smirking at how obvious their feelings for each other were. Her eyes narrowed as ideas of how to get them together jumped around in her mind. She needed to talk to Emily about this...
o.O~O.o
He pushed her! He had actually physically pushed her!
Emily fell into the water while Matt jumped in beside her with a playful grin on his face. Her head broke the surface a couple of seconds before his and before he had the chance to shield his face, she splashed water at him.
"Okay, okay. Fair's fair." He laughed, managing to wrap his arms around hers so she couldn't splash him anymore.
After a few quiet minutes of debating whether or not it would be safe enough, Matt released Emily. She spun around and swam backwards from him with a grin on her face. Matt already knew it was too late. Emily laughed, splashing him right in the face before swimming across the pool towards Abby, hiding behind her.
Matt followed, determined to get payback. He laughed when Connor bombed behind them, showering the two girls with water.
Jess lounged on one of the wooden sunbeds with a smile on her face as she watched the others swimming around in the pool. Connor had eventually woken up just as Abby and the others went back to their rooms to grab their swimwear.
"Abby? Abby you here?" Connor called around the room frantically. He actually checked inside the closet to see if she was in there, desperately wanting to know where she was.
The door swung open suddenly and both Abby and Jess walked in laughing, wide grins on both of theirs faces. "I told him the waiter was checking him out but no he didn't believe me."
"Did you see the way the waitress kept trying to flirt with him?"
Abby smirked when she saw Jess' hand tense up into a small fist at her side. "That was disturbing." Jess replied quietly, barely opening her mouth.
"There you are! Abs where did you go?"
Without saying a word to him, she pointed at the hand written note sitting on the bedside table and continued over to her suitcase. "Seriously Jess... are you making it that obvious?" Abby said quietly as she rummaged through the clothes she had brought with her.
"Making what obvious?" She asked innocently. Abby glanced up at her with an eyebrow raised and she saw the familiar crimson colour her cheeks turned when her body betrayed her.
"Abs, Jess, you two want one of these?" Connor asked from the kitchenette as he made himself a coffee.
"No thanks." Jess replied, glad for the distraction.
Abby just glared at Connor before continuing her search for her bikini.
"Abby do you want one?" Connor asked, oblivious to her sudden mood. He glanced over at her and frowned. "Abby."
"I don't want one Connor." She sighed angrily as she pulled out her bikini top, continuing her search for the second piece.
His frowned deepened. "Did I... do something? 'Cause I don't-"
"Yes Connor! You did do something!" Abby growled, stopping and turning around to glare at him.
Jess sat back on the couch, watching the drama unfold in front of her. She never needed to watch tv since she had her own bickering couple to keep her entertained.
Abby got up and moved over to him, her eyes dark. "You woke everyone up at six saying that it's better to wake up early then all of a sudden, you drop back asleep leaving the rest of us wide awake and annoyed!"
"Jess doesn't look that annoy-"
"Jess is just too kind to really expressed how pissed off she is. We all are!" Abby growled.
Connor begun to pout. He didn't mean to wake everyone up that early. He tried to keep to himself but jetlag and excitement had kept him up. "Abby I-"
"Come on Abby, don't you think you're being a bit harsh on him?" Jess said suddenly. "I already knew he'd do something like this anyway. It's just a typical Connor thing to do."
"No, I will not be kind about this. He needs to pay for what he did."
Jess smiled to herself as she let the warm sun heat up her skin. It was funny how two minutes after Connor and Abby's little bickering session they had ended up kissing leaving Jess desperate to get out of the room.
She slid on her sunglasses and watched her four collegues now playing chicken in the pool. She laughed when Connor and Abby toppled backwards into the water. Emily raised her arms and cheered in victory before Matt leaned back and she fell into the water.
Jess frowned, looking around for the one person that wasn't anywhere near the pool. Becker had gone back to the room to grab his stuff like the others and Jess knew for a fact that he had come down to the pool with them since she had been sneaking peaks at him in his multicoloured boardshorts and thin gray singlet that left his arms bare for her to admire secretly.
She sat up, looking around the other pools for him before her eyes set upon someone sitting by themselves at the poolside bar.
She wasn't even aware she was walking over to him until the warm water begun to nip soothingly at her toes. She blinked, frozen on the spot. She glanced over her shoulder and saw Abby and Emily both grinning at her while Connor and Matt wrestled in the water.
Jess rolled her eyes and swam over to the bar and sat herself on the stool next to Becker. He glanced down at her and smiled before diverting his gaze back to his drink.
"What can I get you?" the bartender asked cheerfully.
Jess grinned down at the drinks menu, only one name jumping out at her. She'd had it once before and it was served in a small coconut with a brightly coloured straw. "I'll have a Bahama Mama please."
"Would you like it in a coconut or in a glass?"
"Coconut. And can I have one of those little umbrellas with it also." The bartender nodded and turned towards the ingredients while Becker chuckled beside her. She frowned at him. "What?"
"What's with you and those umbrellas? You asked for one on the plane as well..." he took the chance and glanced at her and saw her watching the bartender prepare her drink. He couldn't help but let his eyes wander to her bare shoulders and notice the lack of any clothing covering her stomach. He looked back to his drink just as the bartender turned and gave Jess her drink. He could feel heat snaking around his neck and across his face.
Jess grinned widely when she noticed that the bartender had put a couple of extra mini umbrellas into the coconut. "Thank you."
"No problem." the bartender casually leaned forwards against the bar and smiled at Jess. "So when did you get here? I haven't seen you around before. I would remember if I had"
Jess' heart beat quickened. Not because the bartender was attempting to flirt with her but because she could see Becker tense slightly beside her. Why did he have to wear those ridiculously adorable shades of his? Now I can't see if he's watching me or not Jess thought with a sigh.
"We got in yesterday, didn't we Becker?" She gently nudged him in the arm and out of the corner of her eye she saw something flicker across the bartenders face. Jealously perhaps. He's cute, fit too Jess thought as she turned back to the bartender. But he's certainly no Becker.
The bartender smiled sweetly. "Well then, I officially welcome you to the Cove Mrs..." he waited for her name but Jess was too busy coughing on her drink to reply.
Becker laughed beside her.
Jess' face flushed the brightest shade of red they'd ever been. "It's Miss." she spluttered. "Miss Parker."
The bartenders eyes widened "S-sorry. I thought you two were-"
"We're on a work retreat. Our Boss thought we all needed time off." Becker replied casually, unaffected by the bartender's mistake. He had thought they were married. Becker just grinned as he watched Jess getting flustered beside him.
"I wish my boss was that nice."
"W-why?" Jess asked, her cheeks very slowly returning to their natural peachy colour. "You work here! That's got to be a good thing." Who wouldn't want to work in such a happy place. The atmosphere was perfect.
"Well, some of the more... acquainted guests, like to make our working lives a living hell." His eyes darted to someone in a navy blue tux and he sighed. "I've got to get back to work."
He quickly scurried off to serve what looked like a newlywed couple that just couldn't seem to keep their hands off each other and begun to take their requests.
Jess turned to Becker and noticed that he had lifted up his shades so they now rested on the top of his lovely hair.
He glanced down at her, his breath catching as her eyes caught some of the suns light. She looked so peaceful and adorable just sitting there staring at him the same way he was staring at her. Just go for it Becker, what could you possibly lose? He had never wanted to kiss her more than he did at that moment. "Jess. Do you-"
"Oi! Jess, Becker!" Connor called from the steps to the pool. Becker sighed. Does he always have to ruin everything?
They both looked over at him at the same time and he grinned, his hand pointing to the large waterslide.
"Connor! Wait up!" Abby exclaimed. Jess and Becker both looked at each other and started laughing as the hyperactive geek ran off.
I may have, quite possibly, a tiny weeny, sorta maybe might have added, but I'm not quite sure if it's just to really keep a certain pair apart from one another by maybe sneaking in another certain character to possibly sorta maybe be a pain in the backside :D
