Natalie walked into the apartment after leaving Scott in the elevator, she walked through the door to see four pairs of eyes looking at her, Claires, Nessis, Louises and...Abs’, who was snuggled into the couch next to Louise.
‘Yes?’ asked Natalie ‘Whats up with you guys?’ as she sat down next to Nessi at the kitchen table. They still carried on looking, waiting for her to say something of interest to them. ‘Okay, you are really freaking me out now...stop it.’
‘Well I gotta go...pick you up in about 1 hour?’ Abs asked to Louise, she shyly nodded ‘I suppose the rest of you will be with us to then?’ Abs said half not impressed at that idea.
‘God, don’t sound so excited’ was Claires sarcastic comment as she got up and left the room, slamming the bedroom, door behind her. Nessi just rolled her eyes
‘Its alright, we can leave you alone, if thats what you want?’ Nessi smiled to herself and gave Abs a wink.
‘Okay, cya all in a hour then’ Abs said as he left the room.
‘So, you gonna tell me what happended then with you and Scott?’ questionned Louise
‘What about you and Mr. Luver boy who just left the room?’ Natalie replyed. Louise just went bright red and decided to ignore the question. ‘Whats up with Claire anyway?’ Nats asked quietly, to avoid Claire from hearing.
‘I have no idea’ sighed Nessi sipping her water.
‘I do’ smiled Louise as she took Claires now abandoned place around the table ‘It’s just sooooo obvious’
‘What?’ Nats and Nessi asked together.
‘You don’t have a clue do you?’ they both shook their heads ‘J likes you Nessi, and it seems that Claire had a bit of a thing for J – its just jealously.’ Nessi smiled to herself again and took another swig of her water
‘I’m getting changed’ she laughed as Louise and Natalie gave her questionning stares
***********************
‘Okay, lads not to sound a total girl about this, but do this shirt look okay?’ asked Scott as he stepped out of his bedroom door wearing a cute Ben Sherman shirt. The lads looked at him and J just gave out ‘that’ laugh. ‘Doesn’t matter forget I asked’ Scott muttered to himself.
‘Nah Scott, its looks alright.’ Said Abs trying to keep himself from laughing
‘Only alright, whats wrong with it?’ questioned Scott.
‘What do you want me to say Scott that I think you look gorgeous in it and that I totally fancy you?’ laughed Abs.
‘Yes’ Scott said with mock seriousness ‘Only joking’ Scott said as he broke into a huge smile. ‘Guys? Do you think I’m doing the right thing with Natalie, I mean do you not thing I’m rushing a bit ahead of myself, I did only met her this morning’ The other two looked at him with sympathy, they new exactely how he was feeling.
‘Do whatever you feel is right Scott’ Abs said ‘I know I will’ he mummbled to himself. ‘Anyway I’m gonna go and get changed and Scott...’ Scott looked up ‘...Put some pants on mate before you go out’
******************
Natalie had got changed into a little strappy blue dress and rushed out of her room, ‘Hey guys’ she shouted’
‘What?’ was the reply from all of them, who were still busy getting ready.
‘I know this is gonna sound really stupid now, but I don’t think I can go through with this now’
‘Why, the hell not? Nice dress by the way’ Louise asked as she switched off the hair dryer.
‘Yeh, why not? Oh yeh, I’m gonna have to borrow that dress’ repeted Nessi as she walked out of the bathroom with a towel around her head.
‘Thanks guys, it is a nice dress in’it? Anyway.....I dunno, its just that, what if Scott hates me when he gets to know me and I just don’t thing I could stand that...and..and’
‘Look, Natalie Scott is crazy about you, okay?’ Louise said ‘So, you may be a bit of a ditz, talk with food in your mouth, spend half your day watching Dawsons Creek, talk in your sleep, i won’t go on’ Natalie just shot her an evil look ‘But apart from them things, which make you who you are, you are the sweetest and most caring girl i know’
‘Really?’ asked Natalie. They both nodded, and got back to doing what they were doing.
‘Hey, my talking in my sleeps not that bad is it?’ Natalie asked.
***********************
There was a knock at the door ‘Shit, they’re here. Not yet, Not yet!!!!’ cried Louise as she was still getting ready and she had her *NSync cd blaring out. Natalie opended up the door to Abs, Scott and J.
‘What you doing?’ said J ‘Were in competition with these guys!!!’
‘Its Louises cd, she always plays it whilst she’s getting ready.’ Nats said.
‘Yeh, I do, has anyone got a problem with that?’ asked Louise as she walked out wearing a red top with a little black skirt. ‘Justin is just soooo hot’
‘You what?’ asked Abs.
‘Oh, second to you of course’ Louise recovered quickly, and Abs smiled to himself. Natalie swore she could see his head grow and laughed to herself.
‘So, we set then?’ asked Nats. Louise nodded as she put her sandels on.
‘What about Nessi?’ asked J
‘Oh, shes not coming, shes got a bit of a headache’ Louise said
‘Really?’ asked J sounding worried
‘No, shes almost ready.’ laughed Louise.
‘Am I being talked about?’ asked Nessi as she left the bathroom ‘Anyway, sorry for keeping you waiting’
‘No problem’ smiled J
‘Wipe the drool man.’ Scott whispered to J, but loud enough so everyone could hear. Scott walked over to Natalie before J decided to kill him.
‘Hey did I tell you that you look really pretty wearing that?’ Scott whispered in Natalies ear, as he hugged her from behind.
‘No, But you should have done’ whispered Natalie back, as they left the apartment. ‘Nice shirt by the way.’
‘Wait for me’ shouted Claire as she ran out of her room, she’d obviousely gotten changed. She ran down the hall way as she gave Natalie an ‘I’ m-going-to-cause-trouble-tonight’ look.
Ch. 6
‘This is cosy’ Nats said as she sat down next to Scott in a fancy little restaurant, ‘I thought Ibiza was full of clubs?’
‘You just gotta find the right place’ he smiled ‘and the right girl.’ He whispered as he reached for her hand that was casually resting on the table. They were all sat around this big table and somehow Claire had managed to sit next to J.
‘I didn’t know she was coming’ sighed Louise who was sat next to Natalie.
‘Me neither’ Natalie whispered.
‘Whats going on?’ asked Scott and Abs together.
‘Nothing’ was the reply from both of them‘I’ll tell you later’ Nats said added.
‘Can I take your order please?’ asked the waiter with a deep Spanish accent
‘Were not ready yet, thanks’ replied Nessi.
‘What do you think of that waiter Nessi?’ asked Claire, practically shouting it past J ‘Hes really nice , you should ask him out’
‘I don’t want to’ nessi answered quietly
‘Oh thats right, you can’t your still seeing Michael back home, sorry’ Claire smiled smugly to herself
‘Your seeing someone else?’ asked J as he turned around around to totally face Nessi
‘Shes not’ Louise replied angrily ‘Sorry, I don’t mean to sound rude by saying this but I’d totally ignore whatever Claire says about Vanessa, she just a jealous, spoilt cow, and I don’t even know why you came here in the first place Claire, sorry had to be said.’
‘Go Lou’ Abs said under his breath. Claire just looked totally shocked, in fact the whole restaurant did!!!! Louise kinda said that a bit loud.
‘Sorry’ she said as she turned around to look at everyone in the restuarant.
‘Now are you ready to order’ asked the Spanish waiter more sturnly. They nodded and gave him their order.
‘You wanna go outside, I mean is it hot in here or is that just me?’ Scott asked Natalie.
‘Don’t flatter yourself mate’ Natalie smiled ‘ Yeh, lets go’ As they stepped outide into the cool air Nats gave a sigh of relief.
‘So come on, whats going on then?’ Scott asked
‘With what?’
‘The whole Claire and Nessi thing, its not a very good idea to come on holiday with your worst enemy you know.’ Natalie tucked her hair behind her ears.
‘Yeh, well believe it or not Nessi and Claire are pretty good mates its just...lad trouble.’
‘Sounds interesting.’ Smiled Scott as he pulled Natalie close to him. ‘Lemme guess its J right?’
‘How did u guess..?’
‘Well you know my intelligance, charm, wit and everything else you like about me?’ joked Scott.
‘Who said I liked you’ mocked Natalie
‘So you do this with people you don’t like’ asked Scott as he kissed her.
