I take the first step out of the airplane.Some women hugs me and hugs Jay.He smiles with satisfaction.As the women pulls away, he takes my hand.

We look over the island."Isn't it gorgouse?!", I beam.

Jay looks at me and grins."You're even more gorgouse".

He pulls me in for a kiss."Stop", I giggle."Not here".

"Why not here?", he whispers in my ear.I'm tryieng to push him off- softly.

"Hello?!".I look up to see Mark staring at me and Jay.Jay keeps smiling at me until he see's Mark's face.

"Now, you know that you two will be sharing a room with- I want no funny bussiness", Mark warnes us.

Jay pinches my waist and I jump.We burst out laughing and Mark walks away.

His hands travell up my back, he starts to fidle with my bra strap."Jay", I warn him through giggles.

He puts his hands up in surrender."Ok, Ok.So when are Karri and Kyle suppost to arrive?".

I look at my watch."Well, they did arrive here yesterday and they WERE suppost to pick us up in like 5 minutes...they better not have forgotten".

Jay grabbs my hand."Let's go wait for them by the curb", he laughs.

I join him laughing as we walk over to the curb.

We sit on a bench.I sigh."Ok, so NOW they were suppost to be here!".I'm starting to panick.I've never been outside of North America- I'm not the adventurouse type.

Jay beggins to rub my neck."Don't worry, babe.If they don't show we can always call Mark- I have my cell", he assures me.

"Oh, I know.I know that we can 'go on' without Karri and Kyle but-", I pause.I can't find the words to explain.

"Nadia, don't worry honey", he cooes.He slips his lips on my neck and kisses me.

"Stop", I giggle.He keeps it up.

I hear a lady clear her throught."Excuse me!!", she hollers.

Me and Jay duck our heads and laugh.

*****

"Kyle!!", Karri hollers.She's standing at the door to her and Kyle's hotel room.She's wearing a red top with a black pair of khaki capris.

Kyle comes jogging out of the bathroom."I'm coming, I'm coming!Gosh, you sure don't want to miss Nadia huh?", he cooes.

"Shut up", she warns."Besides Jay's here too!And I know Nadia is gonna be upset with BOTH of us if we are late so come on".

Kyle picks up his jacket and car keys."Alright, alright.I didn't know Nadia was the Mighty Queen of ordering everyone around-", he jokes.

"She's not", Karri laughs.She pushes him out the door and locks it.

They walk down the hallway, Karri pressed the elevador button, and they waited for it to fly open.

Karri looks at her watch again.

"Will you stop looking!!?", Kyle asked."It's making me nervous".

"You're nervous?!We are gonna be late and Nadia explode!", Karri yells.

The elevador door opens and they slip inside.Karri holds on to the railing as Kyle presses the button marked "1".

"You're such a pain", Karri whispers.Kyle looks at her.

"What have I done?", he whispers."Wait, why are we whispering?!", he added.

"I don't know!", she shouts.

The elevador beggins to go down- all of a sudden it stops.

*****

"Where are they?!", I ask Jay.He's emracing me as we STILL sit on the bench.

"Let's just call Mark or someone to pick us up?", he suggests.

I sigh."Sure".

He takes out his cell phone and dials the number.

"Hi!...Mark this is Jay, we need a ride..me and Nadia...No, I don't know where Kyle and Karri are...ok, ok,...in 20 minutes..you work fast..HA-HA!..K,bye", he hangs up.

"What did he say?", I ask him.He puts the cell away and starts to fiddle with my fingers.

"He says", he sighs, "That he will send a car to come pick us up.It's gonna take at least 20 minutes".

"So what do we do until then?", I ask him.He kisses my cheek and shruggs.He begins to brush my hair with his hand.

I sigh as I spot a small market across the street."How about we go shopping?", I ask as I point it out.

He looks at me."Sure", and smiles.

We walk over to the vendor.I can see some roses.I pick them up and smell them."So rich", I comment.

"You like red, eh?", Jay asks me.I turn to him and nodd.

He pulls something out of his hands."I like red too", he says as he shows me a piece of red longerie he's dangeling in his hands.

I'm eyeing him as he has an evil grin."How about you try it on?".

*****

"What happened?", Karri asks.She lets go of the railing.

"What do you mean?", Kyle asks sacrastically.

Karri glares at him.All of a sudden the elevador drops another floor.

"AAHH!", Karri screams.She stumbled forward, grabbing Kyle to keep her balance. Instinctively, Kyle wrapped his arms around her, pulling Karri close to him. Karri�s hands still gripped his shirt; as she lifted her head to meet his gaze, she released his shirt and held on to Kyle's broad shoulders. Kyle�s eyes darkened as he fought for control, and the emotion in his eyes was making Karri's heart race. She licked her dry lips, immediately drawing Kyle�s attention to them. Slowly, he began to lower his head to meet hers.

Jay is swinging the piece of longerie in front of me.My arms are crossed.Is he not getting the message?

"So, what do you say?", he winks.He tosses the piece of clothing at me.I catch it in mid air.

"You have got to be joking", I tell him.He pulls me into a tight hug.

"I was", he whisperes in my ear.He starts to nibble on my ear.

"Stop", I tell him giggling.

BEEP!

We look at the gray van parked on the street.I grunt."It's Mark".

He takes my hand and tosses the longerie back."You look hot the way you are", he tells me.

"Aww, thank you", I kiss him on the lips.We keep walking to the van.He squeezes my hand.Sometimes I feel like Jay is too perky to be with me.Like I need someone who's grumpy and boring- like me.I stare at him out of the corner of my eye.He can't stop smiling.

He notices me."What?", he asks.He snapps his eyes to face Mark yelling at him.I laugh at his expression.He pulls me closer and we rock for a moment before we continue walking to Mark.

Mark winks."Young love...", he sighs."Anyway!Where the hell are Karri and Kyle?!", he demands.

Jay looks at me, I look at him.We shrug."Who knows", I say.

Mark opens the door to his van and I hop in.I help Jay get in as well.

"Probably getting it on", Jay chuckles as he sits down.

I shut the door."No way, Karri would never do that", I assure him.Mark turns on the car and takes off.

He winks."Kyle is capable of anything.Lucky son of a bitch", he whispers.I keep my gaze on his face.I guess he's not joking.

*****

Karri lets out her sucked in breath.Kyle takes a strand of her hair behind her ear.He smiles at her and winks.She leanes up ward.

"Aaahh!", she screams as the elevador drops another floor.God, is this never going to end?She thinks.Kyle pickes her up.Not the perfect moment for a first kiss, he thinks.

She stands on her two wabbly feet."Is it safe?", she asks him.She stops and looks at him adoringly.

He let's go of her and begins to search the walls for a button.It's almost pitch black and he can hardly see.His hands roam the walls."Nothing", he whispers.

"What are we going to do?", Karri asks him.She can feel her heart racing.It's speed is ecceding every time she thinks of falling farther.

Kyle looks at her figure in the dark.He pulls her into a warm hug."Don't worry.I'm here.I won't let anything happen", he whispers in her ear.

She pulls back."How, Kyle?", she asks in a shaky voice.

"Don't cry on me!", he tells her.He shakes her softly."You can't do that or-".

"Or you'll cry", she laughs.He shakes his head.

"Never", he whispers.

*****

Jay helps me out of the van."Here we are", he said proudly.Smiling, I remember why I like Jay so much.

He looks at me and takes my hand."Let's go find them!".

Jay and I race inside the hotel.I think I'm ventilating."Jay!!I'm dieng", I joke.

He walks over to me and bends down."Sure...how about we take the elevador's then?", he suggest.I can hear him huffing and puffing for air too.I start laughing as he pulls me up.

"Mark will get our bags and crap for us", he says.We find an elevador door as I fall into a seat near by.He looks at me.I wonder what he's thinking?He kneels next to me.

"I haven't had this much fun since I was a kid", he laughs.He takes my hand and kisses me softly.I grin and blow him a kiss.

He elevador door opens slowly.I stand up and we walk in.

Jay turns to me."What floor are they on?".

"Uhm, 25 I'm pretty sure", I answer.He pushes the button and we start to head up.

*****

Kyle's sitting on the floor bobbing his head to the elevador music.Karri's sitting next to him.

"Oh, gosh..oh, gosh", she whispers.She begins to dig her nails into his arm.

Kyle snapps his head to meet her eyes."What?", he whispers.

"I'm cold", she responds.She rests her head on his shoulder.She starts to hum a song and rock.

"I know that song", he whispers to her.He let's her head rest on his shoulders and takes her hand.He begins to play with her fingers.Remembering their taste when they were in his mouth.He sucks in his breath to stop the urge.

"Wanna sing with me?", she whispers in his ear.Her warm breath travelling down his cold neck.He nodds and takes off his jacket.He helps her put it on her cold, little, body.

They clear their throughts.

Karri smiles at him.He looks at her, hesitates, but continues to get closer.She does too, she swings her arm around his neck and pulls him.She pulls him into a long lingering kiss.

*****

The elevador door's open.Jay, grasping my hand, and I walk out the door and into the hall.He points to a door at the end of the hall.

"There it is", he tells me.We jog to the room and open it with Jay's key.

"Is any one here?!", Jay shouts.I walk throughout the room and find no one or any note.

"Nope", I tell him.He takes off his shoes and jumps on the bed.I should take a shower, I think.

"Jay, I'm gonna take a shower ok", I tell him.I start to head to the bathroom.

He stops me."What are you gonna wear?Your clothes aren't here", he asks.I concinder the question.

"A hotel robe or something of Karri's", I tell him.He walks back as I shut the door.

The water is warm and cold on my soft skin.The perfect temperature, I smile.I need some breathing room, too.I look around for some shampoo and conditioner or a bar of soap.I don't see anything so I head out of the shower.I pull the curtain and put on my towel.I'm rummaging through the sink cabinet for something.

I hear the door swing open and my eyes snap up.

Jay's in his towel."Hey, sexy", he grins at me.

I can hardly believe this.I jump up and push him out."GET OUT!!!!GET OUT!!!!".
