My Sweets

Ding. Not Ding.

BOBBY

Last night I had the best sleep ever. I felt so content after working everything out with Jessa. Looking back, I don't know why I was so stupid with Pyria. That's a mistake I won't be making again. Jessa is all that matters here.

The lights flash on and the room fills with anger. Jessa rubs the sleep from her eyes and smiles at me. "Good morning, handsome."

"Morning to you, my sweets." I kiss her tenderly. I'm not in a rush to get out of bed today. That is until Chelsea's giggle fills the room,

"You truly are a gorilla, Gary!" She's laughing in hysterics. Something's really tickling her.

Jessa bolts up so I follow. I observe Lottie smirking as she hugs Gary. Sitting in the morning sun that's streaming through the window, tiny hairs do cover Gary's body. I chuckle. "I'm no gorilla," he protests.

"You totes are!" Chelsea gushes. "You're so big and hairy!"

Jessa begins giggling too, "I see it!" This causes Gary to laugh.

"They're not wrong, GarBear. It's like you've got a full body halo goin on. A fuhbalo," I say.

Jessa busts out laughing, falling against me. "You just smashed those words together, didn't you?"

"But of course," I wink.

"Man! That's brilliant," Ibrahim says. "That should totally be one of our words."

I shake my head. "Nah. It's missing something."

"Oh, like Ice Robot!" Jessa cheers and I hear Hendrick start cussing. Ibrahim and I had made up ice robot to trick Hendrick and Lucas. Gary looks at me confused so I fill him in.

"We should totes prank the new island..." Chelsea trails off. "Oh, but that's me... Phooey. We should prank Jakub!"

"Right? That lad is... unique," I add

"Did you know he irons his socks?" Lottie asks. Jessa has the cutest stunned look on her face at this news.

So we settle on the word ding. "Nothing is sexier than a notification; ding. When you have a notification, your phone dings and you can't ignore it. You have to check it. So if someone is incredibly sexy, they're ding."

Jessa follows the girls to the dressing room. I hear Lottie say, "That shirt looks adorbs on you, Jessa." I wouldn't say she looks adorable though. She looks... fucking ding.

"Yeah. He's totally not getting it back either." She turns and gives me a wink. I don't want it back. It looks way better on her.

I rush to change, knowing Jessa's going to say something about my trunks, and scramble some eggs for my girl. She comes into the kitchen, still wearing my tshirt. I can't pinpoint the emotions I feel to see her still wearing it. It just... hits me. I like seeing her in it still. The only difference now is that she slipped shorts on and has her hair and makeup finished.

As expected, she forcefully laughs. I give her an amused look as I watch her wipe tears from her eyes. "Ok. Ok," she laughs. "Ok. These are better than your rooster ones."

Lottie and Gary walk up behind her. "What's so funny?" Lottie asks.

"His trunks," Jessa shrills with laughter. "Like, where does one find eggplant swimming trunks?"

She's so tickled by them that we're all laughing now. "I have my ways," I chuckle with a wink. She's so cute when she laughs.

"I don't know," Jessa says, still giggling. "I think you other guys need to up your trunk game here. Bobby is clearly winning with the best swimming shorts."
