Chapter twenty-two:
Christy
followed Isaac up to his room and sat down on the lavish hotel bed.
He smiled widely at her. “You’re so pretty, do you know that?” He gently tucked
her hair behind her ear.
She smiled. “You’re really sweet.”
He leaned forward and kissed her lips softly, however, within a few seconds,
the kiss deepened.
She leaned back and stretched across the bed on her back, while he lay down on
his side, never breaking the kiss.
Christy
giggled as he moved his kisses slowly down her neck. She turned her head to the
side to allow him better access.
”Christy?” He asked carefully taking her hand.
”Yeah?” She looked up into his beautiful chocolate
eyes.
”I think… we should wait.” He studied her expression. “I just… think it’s best
if we slow down a little.”
“You
do?”
He
nodded slowly. “What do you think?”
She
sat up and exhaled slowly. “I don’t think it matters what I think.”
She
got up and left the room.
Isaac sighed.

Becky was standing on the balcony with Zac after the party.
She shivered and Zac promptly removed his hoodie and draped it around her
shoulders.
Becky smiled at him. “You’re sweet.”
”Thanks…” He cleared his throat. “I um… had a good time tonight.” He smiled.
“Me too. You’ve got great moves.” She teased. “You
should start dancing in concerts.”
He laughed at that. “You’re crazy. People would leave!”
“I
wouldn’t.”
He
smiled. “Well, we should do it again… I mean, dancing…” He blushed slightly.
Becky giggled. “I think I’m going to go to bed… I’m sure Jen has passed out by
now.”
Zac smiled. “Okay.” He didn’t want her to leave. “I’ll walk you to your room?”
”Are you afraid I’ll get lost?” She teased.
“No…
I just… want to see you safely to your door, like the chivalrous man I am...”
He nervously rubbed the back of his neck.
“Okay.”
She took his hand and followed him through his and
”I’ll see you in the morning, I guess.” Becky smiled.
“Yeah.” He gently tucked her hair behind her ear and
bent to kiss her softly.
Becky let the kiss linger until finally he reluctantly pulled away. “Tomorrow?”
She
nodded. “Oh, wait.”
She
slipped his sweater off her shoulders and handed it back to him, even though
she wanted to keep it.
“Thanks,”
He laughed. “Good night.”
Becky
slipped into the dark bedroom and leaned against the wall with a contented
sigh. How was it possible to like someone so much after only knowing them for a
few weeks?
………………………………………………………………………….
Jenna woke to the sun shining brightly through the bedroom window. She groaned,
feeling a headache immediately set in.
Becky was playing her Hanson CD quietly while flipping through a magazine.
Christy was brushing through her hair, clearly fresh from the shower.
”Good morning.” Christy spoke sarcastically. “Hung
over much?”
”Please don’t even start!” Jenna hoisted herself out of bed and immediately
went rummaging through her make up kit for aspirin. “What the hell did I even
do last night?”
”You kissed
“What?”
Jenna asked in disbelief.
”You kissed
”Oh god!” Jenna groaned. She dropped her head on the
carpet. “I’m never drinking again!”
“You
said that the last time you drank.” Becky replied.
”I mean it this time… God, do you think I should talk to
”Without a doubt. I bet he’s really confused right about now.” Becky crossed
the room and picked up a magazine.
”Well, I have to talk to Isaac too…” Christy sighed. “I’m not looking forward
to that…” She fastened her hair into a high-pony-tail. “Do I look okay?”
”Yeah.” Becky nodded.
”Okay, here goes.” Christy got up from the desk and left, passing Zac in the
doorway.
“Hey, Becky.” He said.
“Hi, Zac.” She smiled.
“What’s
with Jen?” He asked, noticing she was curled up on the floor.
“Umm… girl problems.” Becky laughed.
”I heard that!” Jenna threw one of her slippers at them and missed.
