Wild Ride - The Alternative Version (Book 2)

Chapter 34~Just One Of Those Days

*One Week Later*

Elise was now completely moved in, something both Abbie and I enjoyed. When we'd told her that Elise was going to be here permanently now, she went nuts with happiness. We also told my parents, and they were happy for us as well. I really loved falling asleep with her at night and waking up with her every morning. If she'd not moved in with me, after she left when Christmas Vacation was over, I'd have been very lonely without her. Now, my home's complete. 

Currently, the guys and I were just getting done in the studio and I was on my way up to see Elise real quick before I went home. Camryn didn't know yet that we were dating, so today her and I devised a little plan to really give Camryn a shock. I'm going to enjoy this, I just know it! 

I stepped out of the elevator and walked down the long hall to Elise's office, knocking on the door. Elise, knowing that it was me, was the one to yell for me to come in. I swung open the door in a dramatic manner and strode into the room. Elise, pretending to look surprised stood up from her desk and moved around to stand in front of it.

"Jimmy, what a surprise! I didn't know you were going to be here." She said. 

I stopped in the middle of the room. "I know, I... I wasn't originally planning to be here, but I just can't stand to be away from you. I'm drawn to you." 

She pretended to look clueless. "What are you talking about?" 

I quickly walked the rest of the distance between us, now standing in front of her. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Camryn looking between us, interested. "It's hard for me to admit things like this, but, I just can't go on without telling you any longer. I've felt this way for quite some time so I know I can be sure of this when I say that I've fallen madly in love with you, and I want nothing more than to be with you." 

"But, Jimmy--" She began, and I cut her off.

"Shh, don't speak." I whispered, putting a finger gently to her lips. "Just kiss me, Elise. Kiss me like you mean it!" I demanded, and at that exact moment she grabbed me by my shirt and pulled me down, her lips meeting mine passionately. In the midst of our kiss, I dipped her for the effect, and then after a moment I stood her back up again and we broke away, literally out of breath. 

Camryn sat there at her desk, her mouth gaping open and her eyes were as big as the moon in shock. Then we both burst into laughter at her facial expression, and as we laughed, holding onto each other, her mouth slowly closed and her eyes returned to their normal size as she looked utterly confused. 

"What... just happened?" Camryn asked slowly. 

"We just pulled a fast one on you!" I told her proudly.

"Wait, so you guys aren't actually together? Was that a fake kiss or something?" She raised an eyebrow.

"Oh, no, the kiss definitely was not fake." Elise said.

"And we've been dating since Christmas Eve." I added, and Elise nodded. 

Camryn looked like she didn't know what to make of this, and she just said, "Holy shit." Elise and laughed again as Camryn got up and repeated, "Holy shit!" She walked around her desk towards us. "Well Happy Ho Ho's to you guys for hooking up! I thought it'd never happen!" Camryn hugged us both. 

"Honestly, so did I." I smirked. 

"Yeah, me too." Elise replied. 

Now Camryn smirked as she stood back, letting go of us. "The two cowards finally fell in love. How sweet." 

Elise and I looked between each other, and she said, "You do realize that just because we're together doesn't mean she won't still tease us." 

"Yeah, I think I'm getting the idea of that." Then I looked at Camryn. "Technically, though, we were already in love without either of us knowing it about the other person."
