The Story of Us

*the next day*

"Zanderrrr!"

"Ugh, Taylor, what do you want?!"

"We fly out today, remember?"

"If you want me to get up, you're carrying me." I grumbled sleepily.

"Uh, that's Shawn's job, not mine." He said. I could hear the smirk on his voice.

"Taylor!" I chucked a pillow at him, and buried my face in the bed.

The door opened again, and I groaned loudly.

"Taylor, give me like five minutes to wake myself up, my god. The only reason you should be in here is what I said before!"

The bed dipped as someone sat beside me.

"It's not Taylor." I heard a soft voice whisper. I turned over and was greeted by Shawn's face.

"Morning." He said, grinning.

"Hey." I sat up and gave him a light peck on the lips.

"Taylor said something about carrying you....?"

"Well, I'm lazy and I don't feel like doing anythi- woah!"

Before I could finish my sentence, Shawn had lifted me off the bed bridal style.

"You prefer this or piggyback rides?"

"Piggyback rides." I mumbled sleepily.

I shifted to his back and buried my face in the crook of his neck.

Within five minutes, I was asleep again.

"Well somebody feels the need to be adorable." I heard Hayes mumble.

Shawn was in one of their hotel rooms, me still on his back. I woke up from the noise, and sat next to him, still hardly awake.

I looked around for Taylor, but I didn't see him. I didn't make much of it though.

"Maybeeee."

"Well I have something that might wake you up..."

Suddenly all the guys jumped away from me and a huge mass of icy water showered over me.

I shrieked, covering my hands with my face and stiffened. All the guys were laughing their butts off.

"I really hate you guys." I said, pushing my soaking hair away from my face. I turned around, to see a grinning Taylor and an empty bucket.

"LOVE YOU TOO!" They all yelled at once.

"Hey, look on the bright side. At least you're awake now." Johnson said, shrugging.

I glared at him, then looked around. Without warning, I shook my hair and flung water everywhere. Water sprayed the guys.

I flipped my hair upright again and smirked.

"Now that that's over with, what's the plan for today?"

"Our flight leaves at... Uh, five-ish." Cameron said.

"Five! Then why did you wake me up so early?"

"This hotel has an huge indoor pool. We can't let that just sit untouched, now can we?" Carter explains, an innocent look on his face.

"I guess we can't." I replied.

I drove home to pack and put my bathing suit and stuff on. And, of course, dance a bit. I couldn't help it, okay? One of my favorite Missy Elliot songs came on my Pandora, and....
