Chapter 12
Aaron had arrived in Mallorca, Spain just
that morning. He, Brendan and Ian were searching the hotel for something to do.
So far, their search had produced nothing.
That was when he noticed a petite brunette walk into the
hotel, with a familiar backpack tossed over her shoulder. The brunette was deep
in conversation with a familiar blonde, causing Aaron to smile.
"Allie!" Aaron's voice said, as the brunette looked over to
where she had heard her voice come from. When she saw Aaron, she smiled.
"Aaron!" Allie said, as Jules leaned over.
"I'll check us in. You go say hi." She whispered, as Allie
smiled at her.
She walked over to where Aaron was with Brendan and Ian.
"What are you doing here?" He asked, a huge smile still on his face.
"I had a small change of plans." Allie said, as Aaron hugged
her.
"Small? You're in Spain with us." Aaron replied.
"Well, I picked out my routine, and this magazine desperately
wanted an interview. So, I agreed to it and we agreed to meet here." Allie said.
"So Peirsol, you're just an added bonus." Brendan said, as
the group chuckled.
Jules came over then, handing a room key over to Allie.
"Guys, this is my coach and best friend, Julia Greggors. Jules, this is Brendan
Hanson and Ian Crocker. They're on the swim team with Aaron." Allie said, as
they all said hi to each other.
"I'm gonna go head up to the room." Jules started saying.
"I'll follow. I think this back pack is starting to cut off
circulation to my shoulder." Allie said.
"Mind if we follow? Maybe once you drop your stuff off, we
can find something to do." Ian suggested.
"Sounds like a plan." Allie said, as the three followed Jules
and Allie to their room.
And then, Jules stayed behind, deciding to call her fiancée
to talk. So, the group of Allie, Aaron, Ian and Brendan started searching for
something near the hotel to do.
Along the way, they ran into Lenny and Michael, who were
sitting in their hotel room playing video games. "Hey Allie!" Michael said,
jumping up from the unpaused game to hug her.
"You do just know that you lost the game." Allie said, as
Ian, Brendan and Aaron chuckled a bit.
Michael was back inside of the hotel room faster than he had
been out of it to hug Allie. That action caused the rest of the group to laugh.
They may have found their entertainment after all.
