I SERIOUSLY apologize for this being a late update. Exams plus writer's block are not a good combination :D This chapter basically skips to the next morning since my muse was refusing to give ideas as to what was happening to Matt so right now he's presumed 'missing' if not dead :P This chapter is basically just Jecker fluff :D Excuse the mistakes and such :P Don't own anything except the plot and my OCs :D
Enjoy :D :D :D
The next morning...
"Becker..."
There was silence in the dark room until Jess opened her eyes and saw him still fast asleep, half of his body hanging over the side of the bed towards the wall. Jess stretched over, her hand hovering over his back. It would be so easy to push him over. She could easily play it off as him falling out my himself if she acted like she was still asleep.
It was a sure way of getting him up.
Or he might just continued to sleep on the floor.
Jess frowned, shaking his shoulder gently. He mumbled her name under his breath and Jess' frown instantly changed into a smile. "Becker."
"I have to put the tiger back in the menagerie..." he mumbled.
Jess sighed. "Becker wake up."
"Five more minutes" He slowly rolled towards her, burying his face in the gap between their two pillows.
Jess lounged on her side and rested her hand on his shoulder blade, admiring the contours of his muscles. She gently shook him but he didn't move. If it wasn't for the steady rise and fall of his chest, she would have thought he was dead. God he's worse than Connor in the morning!
She shook her head and removed her hand, glancing at the clock. It was only nine oclock. The girls had all planned on getting up around ten and then using the day to get ready for the wedding at Sunset. Jess had hired a lovely Bahamian lady to do their hair and make up while Emily hired a beautiful beach venue with the sun reflecting off the horizon.
Jess looked back at Becker and sighed, watching a stray lock of hair fall across his face when he subconsciously moved his head so he could breathe again. He's mine. Actually mine! This... god of sorts is finally MINE! She gently tucked the stray lock back behind his ear, her fingers tracing back down behind his ear and along his jaw. "You need to wake up."
Her heart begun to flutter when his lips curled up at the corners. "I'm okay here with you." she smiled, feeling her heart quicken it's pace. Ignoring the way her skin tingled evertime she touch him, she gently caressed his cheek with feather light touches. His skin was warm beneath her fingers and she could have sworn she'd seen a light pink colour taint his cheeks.
She almost screamed when the sudden buzzing behind her snapped her out of her daze. Glancing over her shoulder, she quickly realised it was her cell phone ringing on the bedside table. "Hello?"
"Morning Jess!" Connor exclaimed in a sing song voice.
Jess grimaced. The loud tone was not doing wonders to the headache she was beginning to get. "Connor what do you want?" she asked quietly.
"I just wanted to see if you and Becker- Hey!"
"Sorry Jess. Did he wake you?" Abby interrupted. Jess could just hear Connor complaining on the other end of the line.
Jess shook her head, then remembered that Abby couldn't actually see her so she sighed. "I was already up." she replied with a yawn.
"Why are you whispering?" Abby asked curiously. Connor's voice echoed through the reciever, complaining about something involving the tv.
Jess looked at the body beside her and poked his shoulder. "Becker's out cold."
Abby laughed. "Why don't you kiss him? That'll wake him up."
Jess swallowed, her eyes growing wide. "That's... I'm not doing that."
Abby laughed. "I was joking Jess. Tip a glass of water over his face. That's how I got Connor up this morning."
Jess laid back again her pillow, stretching her legs out and looking over at Becker still sound asleep beside her. "Maybe I'll try that."
"You didn't hear Matt come back in last night by any chance, did you?"
Jess frowned looking up at the dark blue ceiling, her memory of last night was fuzzy but she was sure she'd seen him at some point in the night. She hadn't heard him come back to the hotel though. Her frown deepened. "No, I haven't. Why? Is he not with Emily?"
"No, and Emily hasn't seen him since yesterday afternoon. She's worried sick about him." Abby murmured something under her breath quietly before she started shouting at Connor. She sighed. "Hold on a sec' Jess. Connor's disappeared behind the tv. Said something about wanting more channels."
Jess rolled her eyes "He's not trying to hack into the network again, is he?"
There was a quiet thud over the other side of the line and Abby laughed. "Serves you right Connor."
Jess laughed, listening to the sound of Connor's complaints.
Her breath caught in her chest when a sudden weight appeared across her stomach. Cursing the fact that she was only wearing her underwear, she glanced down and saw Becker's arm resting across her lower abdomen while his head rested just above it.
She couldn't breathe.
"Jess, are you okay?" Abby's voice was tainted with concern when she failed to answer her.
She was frozen, breathing slow shallow breaths while trying her best to ignore how his slow even breaths were tickling her skin and how his arm seemed to tighten ever so slightly around her.
"Jess? Hello? You still there?"
"Y-yeah." she squeaked out her reply.
Abby sighed in relief. "Good. What happened? I heard you gasp before."
"It's n-nothing Abby. I'm okay." Definitely okay. More than okay actually! Why wouldn't I be? Becker's using me as a fricken pillow! Nothing beats this!
"You don't sound okay. Do you want me to come over?"
"No! No. You don't have to do that." Jess replied quickly and she could just see the smirk forming on Abby's face. Her reply just proved her suspicion.
"Is there something going on with you and Becker?" she replied with amusement tainting her voice.
"No! I just saw my reflection and scared myself, that's all." Jess tried to keep her voice level and calm, which only received a faint 'aha' from Abby. Damn it! Not cool Jess! Abby won't let this go now!
"See you at ten then."
Jess sighed. "Will do."
"Tell Becker, Connor and I said Hi..." her words trailed off at the end and Jess could just see the knowing grin stretching from ear to ear.
"He's not even awake Abby."
She laughed. "I would have thought you'd have his sleeping habbits memorised by now Jess. You do know he wakes up at six, right?"
Jess froze again, looking down at Becker who looked like he was still asleep. His breathing hadn't changed since he was still taking slow, steady breaths so there was no way he could be awake. "I..." Jess squeaked.
"Bye Jess." Abby laughed, hanging up before Jess could reply.
"B-bye..." She dropped her cell phone onto the bed and glared at Becker, watching the rise and fall of his chest begin to quicken ever so slightly.
"You're a lier..." he whispered quietly against her stomach.
"You're mean."
"So I've heard." he lifted his head and turned to look at her with a smile on his face, his chin resting just above her belly button. "Morning."
She watched his dimples deepen the wider his smile got. "I hate you."
"Obviously." He laughed, his smile reaching his eyes and making Jess' heart begin to race in her chest. He removed his arm from around her waist and used it to prop himself up, hovering over her. "I can tell you really hate me."
Jess' head was spinning, her cheeks flushing a bright red as her mind begun to make sense of what was happening. He's... he's going to... God I'm going to be sick!
"Excuse me!" she quickly pushed away from him, stumbling around the corner and into the bathroom. She could just hear Becker laughing in the other room as she threw up into the toilet. "I'm never drinking again..."
"I've heard that one before." Becker was beside her suddenly, holding her hair back as she emptied the contents of last night into the bowl. "I thought the guys were the ones that are suppose to have hangovers during the wedding..."
Jess groaned. "Will you just shut up?"
Becker's grin only widened.
Now I'm off to go watch Fast and Furious five... hopefully it'll give me some more ideas :P
I love reviews... they may just make me write more chapters since I have like a week until school starts back :D Gotta love study leave!
