The camera panned around the room before it focused on the unconscious lump tangled up in the bed sheets. Behind the screen there was a loud sigh before it bounced along and whoever was holding the camera straddled the sleeping lump.
"Connor..." Abby whispered, lightly caressing his face with her knuckle. "Connor, wake up..."
He flicked her hand away and tried to turn over but the position Abby had taken sitting on him made it impossible for him to move. "Go back to sleep." he groaned quietly.
The camera zoomed in on his face for a moment before zooming out and Abby held it out to use it to check her hair. She nodded encouragingly to herself and spun the camera around to face Connor again. "Connor wake up sweetheart."
He frowned. "No."
"I have a proposition for you." she poked his chest lightly and he swatted her hand away. She sighed again, grinning behind the camera before she slowly begun to walk her fingers up from his belly button and over his chest. "It involves a certain Field Co-ordinator and our little Soldier Boy."
A smile slowly formed on his lips but he kept his eyes closed. "I'm listening."
"Well, yesterday you mentioned going skinny dippin'."
His eyes slowly opened and he grinned when he realised he was being filmed. "I don't remember talking about that..."
"You were out of it honey, of course you wouldn't. You also howled at the moon but that doesn't matter. Right now we need to convince Becker and Jess to join us down at the Blue Lagoon 'bout an hours drive from here."
He arcked an eyebrow in curiosity. "You are a devious little thing, aren't you?"
The camera shook as Abby laughed. "Matt and Emily will probably want some 'quiet time' so it's the perfect opportunity to work our match making skills."
"Can't we just book them on one of those whale watching tours and go hit the pools?"
Abby's hand came into view then as she playfully slapped his chest. He winced. "They will not reveal their feelings whale watching Connor! We need to get them out and doing something active! Possibly life threatening."
"Like jet skiis?"
Abby turned off the camera and grinned at her soon-to-be husband. "Definitely like jet skiis!" She bounced off the bed and made her way towards the door. "I'm definitely bringing you along!" she mumbled.
"Who are you talking to?" Connor called as he slowly rolled out of the tangled mess he was in.
Abby waved the video camera at him and grinned. "I'm going to go wake them up!"
"Hey just check to see if Matt and Emily want to join us!"
"Will do!" she sang as the door swung shut behind her.
o.O~O.o
The knock on the door was loud and demanding but neither of the two wanted to move. It wasn't until Becker's warm arms tightened around her waist that Jess realised exactly why.
She smiled to herself when she glanced over her shoulder and noticed her was shirtless, and still asleep. Obviously the knock hadn't interrupted him and Jess didn't want to risk waking him by moving from their current position. Okay that wasn't the exact reason why she didn't want to move. She was enjoying the closeness way too much.
She let her mind spin and she sunk closer to him, his arms tightening around her more and drowning her in everything that was, well, Becker. It wasn't until another round of knocking kicked her out of her little fantasies and she gently slipped out from under Becker's arms and made her way to the door.
She swung it open to reveal a very chipper Abby who had Connor's camera flashing and ready, pointed directly at Jess.
Abby smirked behind the camera and she let it trailed down to Jess' bare feet then back up to her face again. "Looks like someone had a nice night..." her smirk slowly transformed into a grin.
Jess glanced down at her clothes, or lack of and blushed a shockingly deep red as she rushed back into the room to grab her sundress to cover up the matching black and red underwear she had on. Her black and gold dress laid in a pile beside the bed beside the heels she'd worn last night.
She faintly remembered the very early morning being hot and trying to get Becker to turn on the aircon' but he never did so she eventually ended up sleeping in her underwear.
Abby zoomed the camera in on Jess' face, capturing the quick glance she made towards the shirtless Becker still sound asleep on the bed. She looked at the camera and her blush spread to her neck and shoulders before she glared.
"Turn that off!" she whispered, trying her best not to laugh.
Abby shook the camera from side to side before spinning around to looked at Becker. "Becky Boy!" she sang from behind the screen.
"Abby seriously leave him alone..." Jess hissed.
Abby crept forward and look a deep breath.
The room was silent. Jess was definitely holding her breath, scared for the safety of her friend.
Abby moved the camera back away from Becker and she swivelled it around, catching Jess watching him with pink cheeks. She tightened her arms around her waist as she look a shaky breath. Abby spun the camera back around to face Becker again and she grinned behind the camera.
She knew instantly what had made the young Field Co-ordinators so flustered.
Abby shut off the camera and they both leaned against the desk watching (well admiring in Jess' case) the exposed muscles on Becker's back and arms as he slept on his stomach with the sheets just coming up to his hips.
Abby tilted her head. "I now see why you like him so much..."
"Abby!" Jess laughed lightly while she nudged her.
"It's true! I'm starting to think I chose the wrong ARC member to marry." Abby's grin instantly vanished from her face when she saw the angry glint in Jess' eyes. Waow, she's even getting possessive! She gave her a small smile. "I'm only joking."
"That wasn't funny."
The younger girl was still glaring at her when she replied. "I know, I'm sorry. He's all yours. Hey while I'm here... just wanted to say you two should come jet skiing with Con' and I. Maybe we can pack a basket and travel over to one of the neighbouring islands to have a group picnic."
Jess smiled then. "Sounds goo-" she paused before rushing into the bathroom. "I'm never drinking again."
Abby laughed. "We still have my bachelorette party tonight Jess! You can sleep and feel sick after my wedding. Right now though..." she turned to the lump on the bed and took a deep breath. "BECKER!"
His eyes flashed open and he frowned. "What the-"
"Get up!" she growled.
He slowly sat up and rubbed the sleep from out of his eyes. "Abby? What are you doing here?"
She folded her arms across her chest and raised an eyebrow. "What does it look like I'm doing? I'm waking you up."
He ran his hand through his tousled hair and rubbed the back of his neck. "Why are you waking me up? I thought we all got over the wake up calls."
Abby shrugged. "The Jet skiis won't wait forever."
he looked at her through narrowed sleepy eyes. "I swear none of you have any concept of personal space..."
"That's a lie! I leave you all alone... most of the time." Jess added as she came back into the room after washing her hands and brushing her teeth.
Becker sighed. Out of everyone at the ARC, she was the one person he actually wanted to have invade his personal space. He frowned. "Jess, I didn't mean... I don't mind you... you're not who I was..."
Abby smirked and Jess was suddenly looking at him with a whole new glint in her eye. She smiled. "It's fine, I got what you meant."
he returned the smile just as Abby begun filming the two of them. "You know what... I think I'm going to put these clips into a little montage for us all to watch when we go back home."
Jess glanced at her and glared, a look Becker couldn't but grin at. "Abby you better not!" she hissed.
Becker looked over at Abby and his eyes narrowed. "What's on there that she doesn't want anyone to see?"
"Abby don't you dare!" Jess tried to reach for the camera but Abby held it clearly out of reach, tempted to toss it over to Becker.
She smiled. "Oh it's nothing... I just caught Jess answering the door in her underwear."
Becker's eyes widened as Jess' hand whipped Abby across the cheek. "Delete it!" she growled.
"Whoa, whoa Jess. Calm down." Becker was standing between the two of them within seconds, his hands on Jess shoulders. "It's just a silly clip. Nothing to get angry about."
Abby felt her cheek, glad that she only felt a light heat rising where she'd been slapped. She sighed. "Okay, I admit. I deserved that. I'm sorry Jess." she searched through the video camera until she reached the clip of jess answering the door and quickly pressed delete. "It's gone."
Becker looked over his shoulder at her "you okay?" she nodded and he turned back to Jess, tilting her head up so he could look at her face properly. "you okay?" he asked in a hushed tone.
Her anger seemed to evaporate instantly and she blinked, staring into his hazel eyes. His face was so close. She blinked again and looked at Abby when Becker finally released her shoulders and went to sit on the bed.
"I'm sorry Abby!" her voice cracked, the tears building up in the corner of her eyes as guilt flushed over her.
Abby smiled, hugging her. "It's okay Jess. I shouldn't have overstepped the boundary."
Jess sighed. "I'm soo sorry!"
"It's fine seriously. It's nothing. I've been in a fist fight with my brother and even that didn't effect me."
Connor appeared by the door then wearing a light white singlet, rainbow checked board shorts with blue flip flops on his feet and a pair of white Lacoste 'Tolouse' sunglasses resting on top of his head. "We going or not?"
Becker groaned, falling against his back on the bed. Jess laughed and Abby rolled her eyes. "Only when jet skiis are involved can I actually get you out of the room before myself. Unbelieveable!"
Connor grinned. "Hey Abby..." he turned and looked over his shoulder at her. "Do these make my butt look big?"
Next up: 3 jet skiis for hire... what could I possibly do with those *grins* :P
