"Stop." Josie ordered as Ben tickled her bare stomach. She pushed him
to the other side of the couch and watched the TV in amusement. Ben smiled,
and creeped closer once more.
"Don't even think about it Gillies." She said quickly as the phone rang.
"Ben!" Nathan cried from in the kitchen. Sighing Ben stood and walked towards the kitchen.
Smiling to herself Josie stretched out on the couch and closed her eyes. Things between her and Ben had progressed slowly. It had been more than two weeks since she had arrived in Australia, and she liked it more and more each day. Jillian had even started to grow on her.
"Ha!" Ben cried, shocking Josie out of her thoughts when he jumped on top of her legs.
"Ow!" She cried, trying to wriggle out of his grasp. It was no use, Ben was much too strong for her, and soon she stopped fighting him all together.
"Who was on the phone?" She asked gazing up at him.
"Oh, that was some of my mates." He grinned, "You'll like them."
"Huh?" She asked, sitting up as he let go of her tan legs.
"You'll like them. They'll be here in ten minutes." Ben smiled cheekily as she slapped him on the shoulder.
"Ben! I can't see people, I look like crap." She cried, jumping up from the couch as he pulled her back to him.
"No, you don't." He said softly. "Besides, you've met them before." Ben said cryptically as he ran towards the kitchen.
"Ben!!!!" Josie cried as the doorbell rang for the second time.
"Would you just open the goddamn door?!" Nathan yelled back as she nervously opened the front door.
"Hi..." Daniel trailed off as he recognized the girl in front of him.
"Holy shit!" Chris laughed as he too recognized Josie.
"Ugh," She groaned as Ben walked up behind her.
"Josie these are my friends Daniel and Chris." Ben smiled as Josie crossed her arms in front of her.
"Yeah," She said shortly.
"So you're the girl Ben's got the hots for." Chris laughed as Ben shot him a dirty look.
"Yeah, and you're the assholes from the airport." Jose smiled shortly as she turned and pushed pass Ben into the house.
"Oh yeah. She's a real winner," Chris laughed shaking his head from side to side.
"Yeah," Ben agreed. "You all will get along just fine."
