Chapter 9

Love vs. Lust

AN: sorry I took so long guys, my internet got knocked off due to Sandy. I hope your still interested in my stuffff. Aha kay enjoy!

Setting: Max Duran's Cabin.

The moon had risen and lit up the jungle. It hung in the sky peering down at the village and gave it musky teal glow.

Max had just finished scoping his cabin when he crawled into bed. His cabin had looked the same as Loren's and everybody else's, except all his candles were still lit.

Max had took control and put the power in his own hands to save everybody. It was running somewhat smooth so far, and the whole Yesubai thing was beyond lucky. But still, he had a sense that he was letting everybody down.

He tossed and turned under the covers and even put the blanket over his head. Still he was unsettled and felt disappointed in himself.

He thought, Loren was right, we cant just sit here like sitting ducks waiting for someone to save us? And what if the villagers decide to turn hostile… I did have no clue what was going to happen..

Suddenly, three little knocks came from the door and it creaked open. Alarmed, Max jumped out of bed, unknowing who would pay him a little visit at this hour.

It was Nora.

She smiled nervously and tiptoed in shutting the wooden door behind her. She then tiptoed over to Max and hugged him without saying a word.

The room glowed and flickered a romantic red-orange and they just stood there on the side of the bed just hugging.

Max rubbed her back and patted her hair as she clenched his back.

She then released and tucked her hair behind her ear.

Nora laughed nervously grabbing Max's hand, "I needed a hug, haha"

He tilted his head and smirked, "I see that, but what's wrong." he said cupping her face and looking into her eyes.

She looked away and sat on the edge of the bed looking up at Max.

"What are we going to do, Max? I want to go home.." She said looking at a candles flame that sat on the night stand.

Max sighed painfully and sat down beside her.

"We'll go to the beach tomorrow and wait for a plane or something to pass by." he said rubbing her back.

She sighed then took his hand off her back and held it in her hand.

"But what if one doesn't.." she murmured.

Max squeezed her hand, "Don't think like that Nora, one will! We just need-"

"Hope?" she interrupted.

Max grinned, "Yeah, hope."

Nora smiled and hugged Max. She then whispered in his ear, "Thanks Max, you're the only thing that keeps me sane anymore."

He let go of her hug and looked her passionately in the eyes and smirked a cute little slanted smile, "Likewise." he whispered charmingly before leaning in to kiss her.

They kissed a light tender kiss, followed by a hot passionate one.

They had rekindled each other's love lives, and that spark grew into a large blazing fire.

They stopped awkwardly when Nora yawned but they just laughed.

She crawled over to the right side of the bed and under the covers. Max also crawled under the covers. He laid on his back, hands behind his head and Nora rested hers on his warm bare chest. Cuddling into the night.

Nora hugged him tighter and Max smiled rubbing her bare arm.

"Goodnight" whispered Max leaning over to kiss the top of her head.

"Goodnight" she replied.

Setting: Rumor:

Mel gets out of her car and strolls toward Rumor excitedly. She's wearing a black, purple and white leopard print halter top dress with black stilettos. She has matching purple feather earrings and her hair is wavy. You can tell she's excited to meet with the enemy.

She approaches the front doors when suddenly a charming voice calls her name, "Mel Sanders?" it calls out.

She turns around and sees Tyler who's got on jeans and a black dress shirt with black sneakers.

Ooh la la., Mel thinks before smiling.

"That's me, And I'm guessing you're Tyler?"

Tyler smiles, "Good guess."

Tyler looks down at his watch and back at Mel, "You're early, I like that."

Mel laughs nervously, "haha great, let's go in."

"After you." Tyler says opening the door for her.

They walk in a get there table.

Right after they walk in, you see Ozborne Silver and Chloe approach rumor. Chloe has Oz's arm in hers and they're strolling down the pavement.

"It's very nice for you to help me out, Oz." says Chloe kindly, "Thank you."

Oz laughs, "cut the nice girl act already."

Chloe laughs too "Well did I act it good?"

"Nope."

"Oh."

The two, approach the main doors and walk in.

Setting: Jake's Cabin.

Jake's cabin looked just like Max's cabin. Candles lit and everything. He found some casual animal skinned pants in a trunk by his bed and took a shower in his jungle makeshift bathroom. He rubbed the exotic soaps all over him and let the cool water run through his achy body.

Luckily, there was towel made of cotton hanging by the shower. He dried himself off and put on the animal skinned pants and strutted out of the shower humming, "There's Something In The Air."

He stopped dancing around when he saw Kelly standing at his front door. She looked the same as usual. Equally perfect, but she had undone her braid and wavy hair hung down her back.

"Hey Jake." she said solemnly, "Can I come in?" She asks.

"Yeah." he says nodding while throwing the towel in the corner.

He put his hands in his pockets and peered at Kelly, "what sup?"

Kelly smiles and shuts the front door quietly. Then suddenly, She runs over to Jake and pins him down on the bed kissing him.

Jake doesn't seem to mind for he's kissing her back running his hands down her body.

He flips her over now he's on top kissing her now.

Jake stops and gives a blank stare, thinking, while Kelly is kissing and biting his neck.

"What's wrong?" She asks.

Jake shakes his head, ignoring the problem.

"What's wrong?" she reiterates getting away from under him and sitting down in the middle of the bed.

He goes and sits across from her.

She sighs, "It's Tracie isn't it?"

Jake nods.

Kelly bites her lip and looks away.

"Maybe I should go.." She murmurs crawling out of the bed. Just as she goes to walk away Jake grabs her hand and stops her. She looks down at him and there eyes meet.

"Please don't." he whispers.

Kelly smiles and tilts her head, "I'll never leave you." she whispers.

Jake then grabs her other hand and motions her to come closer. She crawls back on the bed and leans over Jake kissing him.

"I'll never leave you." She whispers between the hot passionate kisses.

Setting: Living Room and the Sanders Home:

Phil and Adriana are sitting on the couch in the living room watching television. Phil has his arm around Adriana and she is nestled against his chest.

"This is nice." Phil thinks aloud.

"What is?" Adriana ponders looking up at him.

"Just sitting here with my gorgeous fiancé/baby mama."

Adriana nods, "And without a care in the world." she says clenching Phil's T-shirt.

"Well except this little guy," he says putting his hand on Adrianna's stomach. He smiles, "I can't wait for tomorrow."

Adrianna smiles, "I know. we're finally going to know that it's a baby girl for sure." she teases.

Phil fake laughs, "Ha-ha. You mean we're finally going to find out it's a boy?"

Adriana shrugs, "I just want to find out, so we can start getting the nursery together."

"They said the check will be in the mail any day now." He adds.

Adrianna smiles, "Speaking of the check.."

She gets up and leans over to the coffee table, grabbing her laptop and opening it.

It takes a moment to load up but then she shows the screen to Phil.

"This house would be perfect!" she cheers.

Phil nods taking the laptop, "It's close, it's big, it's nice." he extols, "But it's only a picture."

He hands the laptop to a puppy dog lipped Adrianna.

"Email the guy, we can see it on the way home from the doctors, it's close."

Adriana squeaks excitedly, "Okay!" she says typing away.

Phil smiles at his lover and leans back flicking through the channels.

Setting: Loren's Cabin, Early Morning.

The sun was just rising and it was a round-about 6am. A white light shined into Loren's cabin making the room sparkle as she awoken.

She was lying in bed with Eddie. She laid her head on his warm chest and he hugged her tightly against him.

Loren had just opened her eyes and Eddie was the first thing she'd seen.

He was still sleeping, His lips were pouted, his eyes laid shut easily, and his black hair hung just over them.

Eddie needs a haircut. She thought playfully.

She brushed his hair away from his eyes, and put her hand back on his warm brawny chest.

She could feel his heart beat, and wondered if it beat for her.

Eddie slowly opens his eyes and smiles at Loren, who is looking at her hand on his heart.

"Good morning, beautiful." he whispers to her.

Loren's body jolts surprised, "I'm sorry! Did I wake you?" she asks hoping not but knowing she did.

Eddie smiles bigger and cups Loren's face reeling her in, "Yeah but I like it." he says before giving her a soft tender good morning kiss.

"Good morning." Loren whispers back smiling.

Loren shrugs her shoulders and gets out of bed.

She's wearing the same dress as last night and her curls are all crazy but she still look beautiful.

Loren walks into the bathroom and washes her face in the makeshift sink.

Eddie follows her and hugs her from behind.

"Use your own bathroom." She teases while drying of her face with a cotton cloth.

Eddie is still hugging her, "No I like it here." he says kissing her shoulder.

Loren smirks and turns around and gives Eddie three little pecks.

"We're gonna get in trouble, shoo!" she says pushing him away playfully.

Eddie laughs and grabs Loren's hand dragging her back into the big room.

He sits on a wooden chair in the corner and Loren sits on his lap.

Loren moves Eddie's hair away from his eyes again, "You still look great the morning after." she teases.

Eddie chuckles, "You look better." she whispers kissing her.

They kiss several times then Eddie looks up at her and puts his hand on her face.

"Last night was amazing, Loren Tate."

Loren blushes, "Tell me about it" she murmurs.

"Ooh that reminds me!" He stammers excitedly, "Let me up."

Loren jumps up and looks at Eddie curiously, "What?" she asks.

Eddie grabs Loren by the waist and kisses her hard. Then he grabs her hands and leads her out the front door.

"I got something for you." He tells her elatedly.

What could it be? After last night, I couldn't ask for anything more! She thinks.

They both walk out the door and just as they go to walk towards Eddie's cabin, Max's cabin door opens, simultaneously with Jake's.

Kelly and Jake come out Jake's, and Max and Nora come out Max's.

Everybody looks at each other and knows exactly what they been doing.

"Oh god." Eddie and Loren say simultaneously under there breaths.

Awkwardly everybody turns around and scampers back into the cabins they came from.

Loren and Eddie scamper back into Loren's cabin.

Eddie is laughing and Loren is shaking her head shutting the door.

"That is SOO grossly ironic!" she groans.

Eddie still laughing, "Oh god, I know!"

Loren chuckles a bit and looks through the trunk she has in her room. She takes out a brown animal skinned shirt with leather shorts.

She shuts the trunk and faces Eddie, "I'ma get in the shower." She says

Eddie bites his lip, "Maybe I should join you? To conserve water, you know." he tries.

Loren laughs, "Nice try Casanova." she says heading for the bathroom.

Eddie shrugs, "Can't blame a guy for trying."

Loren smiles before walking into the bathroom and shutting it.

She gets in the shower and begins to wash her long curly hair.

I didn't get my present! :c she thinks with a sad puppy dog face. Wonder what it is?

I wonder what Mom was doing at Max's? Ew, I know what Mom was doing at Max's. Good for them but, ew. And Jake and Kelly? Are they a thing now? Was it just a fling? No wait, they already had there one fling. If you have a fling you can only have one. Speaking of one, last night with Eddie was.. Stellar. I was so afraid and insecure before with the whole Chloe thing, but. She's long gone now. And Eddie loves me, me and Eddie are boyfriend and girlfriend now. Well, we were fiancés but,, I don't know if Eddie will ever remember that part. But still, last night was a night to remember. I feel like a princess. No, I feel like a goddess…
