“Ya SURE I can’t come?” whines Nick wrapping his arms around my waist as I shake my head with a grin. “Aw, c’mon… Promise to be good.”
“Sorry babes but it’s just me and Jade. I promise the next trip is for you and me, ok?”
“Guess it’ll have to be,” he pouts and I kiss him. “Call me the minute you get there.”
“Ok.”
“And make sure all those actor guys know you’re MY girlfriend.”
“Why yes mr possessive,” I roll my eyes and kiss him deeply.
A few minutes later we separate and walk over to where Brian and Jade are standing.
“You gotta kiss your fist like I do.”
“Ok Bri,” I roll my eyes.
“I’ll be watching ya from that big window there and if you don’t do it…” he trails off as I laugh and kiss him.
“I’ll do it honey.”
“And call me the minute you touch down in Tampa.”
“Will do,” I wrap my arms around him and kiss him. “Anything else?”
“Just do that again,” he says, pulling me closer for a long kiss.
The tannoy calling our flight to Tampa interrupts us and I move away from him with a wry smile.
“Bye honey. I’ll call you when we land.”
“I’ll miss you,” Brian reaches for my hand.
“Bye Jady,” Nick and Ali join us. Nick gives me a hug while Ali hugs Brian.
“We should go get on the plane,” Ali says and we start to walk through the doors.
“ALI!”
“JADE!”
We turn around at the same time and see our guys waving with big smiles on their faces. Nick mimes his heart beating for Ali, and Brian blows me a kiss. We look at each other and roll our eyes before heading out of the door and out of their sight.
“They are SO soppy,” Ali giggles.
“You’d think we were leaving for three MONTHS not days.”
“It’s cute though.”
“Big time.” We both sigh happily before Ali pulls herself together.
“Ok, no more boyfriend talk. We are on holiday from love and all its soppiness my girl.”
“Deal,” I laugh. “This is gonna be great Ali.” We climb the steps up into the plane and as I reach the top, I kiss my fist and press it against the plane.
“What are you doin’?” Ali gives me a look.
“Brian,” I turn around and look towards the window where he had said he would be. Sure enough, I can just make him and Nick out, waving at us. I nudge Ali and she gives them a wave before disappearing inside the plane. I follow her to our seats and stretch out in the aisle seat. “Tampa here we come.”
“Heath Ledger here I come!” laughs Ali.
“Did you say Mark Wahlberg would be there?” I ask hopefully.
“Yeah.”
“Oh boy, here I come!” I giggle and she hits my arm lightly with a grin.
“Hey Kev, let’s play golf,” Brian flops down on the couch next to his cousin.
“Golf? Sure,” Kevin grins and stretches slightly. “What, now?”
Brian shrugs, “Might as well.”
“I’ll go get changed. Be back in ten,” Kevin heads off to his room just as Nick walks into Brian’s room.
“Hey Frick, basketball?”
Brian shakes his head. “Sorry Frack, I just said I’d play golf with Kev.”
“Aww,” Nick pouts and throws himself on the bed. “Can I come?”
“You HATE golf.”
“Yeah well I hate bein’ in a hotel alone even more,” says Nick.
“Ok, sure. You need to change?”
“Nup,” Nick sighs. “You think they landed?”
“They’ve only be in the air twenty minutes,” Brian says without needing to check his watch.
“Hole in one baby!” Kevin tells the ball as he places it carefully on the tee.
Brian and Nick giggle behind him and he shoots them a look. He stands up straight and swings his stick back and then forwards again. He does this a couple of times.
“Jeez, just hit the ball already,” says Brian exasperatedly.
“Hey, I’m limbering up,” Kevin growls.
“We could be here for DAYS,” moans Nick.
Kevin finally takes the shot but completely misses the ball, sending clumps of grass flying through the air.
“Strike one!” Brian manages to say before laughing hard and falling against Nick.
“All that limbering worked,” giggles Nick as Kevin chases after the clump of grass. He brings it back and stamps it into the hole he left. He straightens up and grabs his stick again.
“Take two!” he yells, whacking the ball. The ball doesn’t go that far, mainly cos Kevin had also hit the clump of grass.
“I think the grass went further!” Brian laughs.
“Stop hacking up the green Kevvy!”
“There’ll be no grass left when YOU’RE done Nicky,” Kevin retorts before giving into the laughter. “The grass DID go further.”
“We’ve got about thirty more minutes before we hit Tampa, but about 45 if the rain doesn’t let up,” I groan, shutting the window.
“Well, not even rain will spoil our week! Oh, I got an idea! You have to do something, like stall or something, and not get enough pictures on Tuesday and make them come back Wednesday!” Jade suggests, begging me excitedly.
“I beat you to that idea! But speaking of the guys… what about OUR guys?”
“What do you mean?” she asks.
“Do we tell Mark and Heath and Ryan and all of ‘em about Nick and Brian, or should we have our own fun?”
“I’d feel awfully guilty but it’s just like Nick Taylor said on Dawson’s Creek, That certain someone ain’t here, and I won’t say nothin’ if you won’t.”
I laugh at her quote, “You watch too much TV, Jady.”
“So, you agree we can have our own fun without making too big a deal out of it? Of course, we can’t go too far… Ali,” she warns, giving me the look.
“Yeah, yeah. I’ll control myself, mother.”
“Ha ha, now what about Nick and Brian? If they ask us who was there what do we tell them?”
“Well, we definitely can’t tell Nick Joshua Jackson was there. Maybe, we should lie about that, too?”
“I agree. Ugh, I know I’m gonna feel like shit when these three days over.”
“But we’ll be having a blast while we’re livin’ ‘em!” I shout, and she gives me a high five, giggling right along with me.
