Chapter 9

AJ watched as Taylor ran into the bright, blue ocean, jumping over the waves. He laughed and ran to join her. They made their way into the ocean and let the waves roll over them. Taylor jumped onto his back and kissed his neck. He laughed, "What are you doing?"

"Kissing you..and jumping on your back!"

"Oohh..."

He dunked her back and she let go. When she resurfaced, she splashed him, "AJ! That was mean!"

"You know you love me!"

"And? That was no reason to dunk me!"

He laughed and pulled her closer as another wave rolled under them. He kissed her, "All better now?"

She pretended to think, "Umm..hmm..I dunno..try again."

He laughed and kissed her again, "Now?"

"Yep! All better!"

He laughed and they walked out of the ocean to their towels. They had been in Hawaii for nearly a week and everything was perfect. The house was perfect, the private beach was perfect, everything was. Taylor wrapped the towel around her waist and picked up her brush to comb out her hair. "You ready to go back to the house?," She asked.

"Yeah..its gettin' late.."

"Okay."

The packed up their things and walked up the deck to the house. AJ went into the kitchen to find something to eat while Taylor went upstairs to take a quick shower.

AJ looked up as he heard the shower start and grinned. He put the lunch meat up and ran up the stairs. He opened the bathroom door and saw Taylor was already in the shower. He laughed to himself and began pulling off his clothes.

Taylor about screamed when two arms wrapped around her waist. "What the heck are you doing?!"

"Taking a shower."

"You are so weird!"

"And?!"

"AAJJJJJJJ!!!!!"

He laughed and kissed her neck, "We don't want to waste water.."

She laughed and leaned against him, "If we weren't married right now, I'd smack you and kick you out.."

"But, you won't."

"You're right..now help me wash my hair."


The next day, they were spending the day at the beach and later that night they were going to catch a flight back to Orlando. Taylor rolled over on her stomach and looked down at the water where AJ was jumping over the waves. She laughed to herself and closed her eyes and began to doze. AJ pulled himself out of the water and walked up to where Taylor was dozing. He grinned and stood over her back before ringing out his trunks on her. She screamed and jumped up. "That was mean!," She exclaimed wiping off her back.

"You looked hot..which you do, but I thought you needed to get cooled off."

"Ha, ha, ha. You're so funny."

"I know."

"Ugh..I'm trying to get a tan, ya know."

"You are tan!"

"I guess..ready to go finish packing?"

"Might as well."

"K."

They walked back up to the house and Taylor went to shower while AJ finished packing his things. The phone rang on the nighttable and he reached over to answer it. "Hello?"

"AJ! Its Brian."

"No duh Brian, I've known you for 7 years, I should know your voice by now."

Brian laughed, "So, how are you?"

"Good..trying to pack."

"Oohh..you two are coming back tonight aren't you?"

"Yep."

"Need to be picked up?"

"Umm..Yeah, I think so."

"Cool, I can do that. So, how is Hawaii?"

"Very, very cool. We definately gotta come back."

"Cool. So, how is the lovely Taylor? Jane's been asking like every other day.."

"She is fine. She's taking a shower. We just got back from the beach."

"Awesome. Well, I gotta get off here. What time does your flight come in?"

"Umm..I think 9."

"Cool..gate?"

"Hold on..oh yeah, G8."

"Cool..I'll see you all then. Bye AJ."

"See ya Bri."

He hung up the phone and finished packing. Taylor came out and AJ went to take a shower. "Oh yeah, Brian's gonna pick us up at the airport.."

"Really? When'd you talk to him?"

"He called while you were in the shower."

"Oohh..well, thats nice of him."

"Yep..I'll be out in a few."

"K."

Taylor began to pack her clothes up and then finished drying her hair and things. She left her things by the door and went downstairs to clean up a little. AJ brought his things down a little while later. "You ready babe?"

"Yeah..I was just cleaning up a bit."

"Oh..well, we gotta get to the airport."

"Okay..let's go then.," She said grabbing her things.

"Let's head out."

They walked out to the rental car and piled in.
