Hold On 'Til May - Fuenciado

Chapter Seventeen

[Jaime]

I woke up to none other than the smell of waffles, yay. I checked the time and it was nine. I knew that we were stopped in Niagara Falls today, because the guys had decided they wanted to spend our day off here. I hadn't gotten any input in that decision, but I was perfectly fine with that. I got up out of my bunk, rubbing my eyes and letting out a groan as I stretched.

"Good morning sleepyhead!" I heard Vic call, and I smiled.

"It's only 9, on our day off even, so how am I a sleepyhead?" I joked, walking to the washroom to brush my teeth and fix my hair, my usual morning things. Vic walked up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me close to him. He kissed my neck.

"I have something special planned for us today," Vic whispered in my ear, his breath warm on my cheek.

"Oh really," I turned around, putting my hands on Vic's hips. "and what's that?" I raised my eyebrows at him then leaned in for a kiss, not being able to stop myself. He put his index finger to my lips.

"Nuh uh uh," Vic shook his head. "Save that for later! But get dressed in something comfy, and I think I hear some waffles calling our names?" Vic spun around and scurried off to the kitchen, way too happy for nine am from anyone. I sighed, whatever we were doing today, I hope Vic's boyfriend Kellin didn't interrupt. I laughed at my own selfishness, grabbing my toothbrush and hair gel, to get ready for whatever this surprise Vic had for us was. I thought of the fact that Vic had a boyfriend and felt kind of bad, knowing that I was causing Vic to go behind his back for me, but quickly shrugged off that thought when I saw Vic standing in the mirror behind me. I had just finished with my hair, and was standing there in my pyjamas, no shirt on. Vic put his hands on my hips, sliding them up and tickling my sides, and I cringed away.

"Shit you're cold!" I laughed.

"Yes I am, so warm me up Jaime?" Vic gave me puppy-dog eyes and grabbed my hands. I pulled my hands out of his grasp.

"Nuh uh uh," I mimicked what he said earlier. "Save that for later!" I laughed, and so did he, then he put his hands to my face.

"Fine, I'll just warm myself up!" I shooed his hands away, then walked over to grab some clothes for the day. I held them up, asking for Vic's approval, and he smiled. "Hurry up, our waffles are getting cold!" Vic walked off to the kitchen and I pulled on my clothes, deciding to spray myself with something nice for Vic. I walked over to the table and sat down across from Vic, where I had a plate of waffles. "Mmm, someone here smells nice! Any reason why?" Vic winked jokingly and I blushed. Vic leaned over the table and kissed my lips quickly, and I groaned when he pulled away. "That's all for now," Vic smiled, "I just couldn't wait."

"So where are we going?" I asked, scooping a mouthful of waffle into my mouth. Vic shrugged with a smile. Looks like I wouldn't be finding out... ah well. We ate our waffles, Vic finishing before me, and he sat waiting for me to finish, tapping his fingers on the table. I finished and Vic took our plates, and told me to get on my shoes on. He walked up beside me and grabbed my hand, leading me out the door. I really didn't know Niagara Falls, so I had no clue where we were going. I wondered how Vic did.

"When was the last time you went to an arcade?!" Vic asked excitedly.

I laughed at how childish he was, then replied, "A few years probably, why, is that where we're going?"

"The Great Canadian Midway! One of the places we're going!" Vic lead me to wherever this place was, and I noticed a majority of people were tourists. "Clifton Hill, have you ever been?" I shook my head and he dragged me behind him, through the people. We reached the arcade and he looked at me and smiled. "I've got all the tokens, you just enjoy yourself!" We walked over to the token machine and Vic put in some Canadian money, don't know when he went out and exchanged for that. He took a bucket and pushed all the tokens inside, then grabbed another and handed it to me. I looked at him questioningly. "For tickets, of course!" I laughed and looked around, then grabbed his hand and pulled him towards one of the games.

"Hum..." Vic looked at me then back at the prizes, deciding on what he'd get. I said he could have all the tickets, because I just enjoyed spending the time with him, and anyways he bought all the tokens. "I'll get..." Vic pointed towards one of the walls. "That big grey dragon over there!" The man behind the counter took the dragon down for Vic, and Vic handed it to me. "I expect you to name it after me, I got it for you!!"

"I earned half of it, thanks a lot, it should be named after me!" I laughed.

"Hum... a combination of the two is only fair! Vime... Jaimic... uhm..."

"What about just our last names?" I laughed, thinking of what the fans called our 'bromance'. "Fuenciado the grey dragon?"

"Sure, why not!" Vic grabbed my hand and we started to walk away. I felt my stomach grumble.

"I'm hungry, what time is it?" I asked Vic..

"Lunch time!" Vic replied.

"Where are we off to?" Vic ignored my question, and we just continued walking. We walked to a park, where Tony and Mike greeted us, holding two picnic baskets. "Ooo, food, gimme!" Tony handed his picnic basket to Vic, and Vic said thanks. "Who's that for?" I asked, pointing to the basket in Mike's hand. Tony grabbed Mike's hand.

"Us of course, we have to eat too, ya know? Plus you two don't get to be the only cute couple doing cute things here!" I raised my eyebrows, did he just say that him and Mike were a couple? I looked to Vic, who was completely unaffected by this revelation.

"Have fun on your date guys!" Vic said, pulling me over to go find a place to eat.

"Did you know?" I questioned Vic. He laughed and nodded. How come I didn't? "When did you find out? When did it happen? Why did no one tell me?!" He laughed at how anxious I was, then sat down on a picnic bench.

"So Jaime, guess what?" Vic had walked up behind me, as I was lining up my swing for mini-golf. After lunch, he had decided we'd go to something called Galaxy Golf, which was this really cool and vibrant mini-golf place, where everything glowed. I took my swing.

"Fuck yeah!" I put my hands in the air, very happy for myself getting a hole-in-one. I turned back to Vic. "What my dear Vic?" He laughed.

"I'm officially single!" I smiled, then he grabbed my hands, pulling me towards him. "I don't want to be though," Vic added in a whisper. He pulled back from my ear, looking into my eyes, his face centimeters away from mine. I bit my lip. "So, will you change that and be my boyfriend?" I smiled then pressed my lips to his as a reply. "I hope that's a yes?"

"Of course baby," I smiled. Then I remember we were standing in the middle of a mini-golf course. I laughed then pulled away from Vic. "Your turn!"
