Stranger in a Strange land

part 8 *editied*

Jared's POV

Walking from the front of the bus I stretched my legs, walking into the main living area I stopped and looked at Tomo, averting his gaze from his book he looked up and smiled.

‘Sup Jared’ he said as he placed his fingers into the book keeping mark of his page

‘Bus driver said there's a garage in about 15 mins, so we will be making a quick stop, gives us time off of the bus. Have you seen Shannon and Kay’ I asked already knowing the answer

"Sure why not gives us time to get fresh air, let me go grab my shoes. They haven’t come back down since earlier, I'll leave them to you" Tomo said as he ran in the opposite direction.

Sighing I pulled my shoes on before making the dreaded journey up stairs, standing outside the curtain I listen to hear any "action" going on, I was met by a dead silence, smiling I pulled the curtain back and walked through to the bunk area

"Wake up Fuck birds" I yelled throwing the bunk curtain open. Hitting Shannon on the shoulder his eyes opened, groaning he placed his hand over his eyes. Pulling the cover higher over his body I smiled, hitting his shoulder, he finally moved

‘OK I’m up, now what do you want’ Shannon replied sleepily, turning to Kaylah she was still sleeping the covers low on her back, Shannon followed my gaze. Pulling the covers up her body he kissed her neck

“I thought I would come and tell you we will be stopping soon and thought you might want some fresh air "I said looking between them. Shannon nodded his head and motioned for me to leave. Holding my hands up I walked back down the bus, closing the curtain I left them alone.

Kaylah’s POV

Shannon jumped out of the bed and pulled his boxers on, stretching my limbs, I swung my legs out from under the bed and dropped to my feet, lifting my arms over my head I stood naked in front of Shannon, walking over he pulled me close to his chest. Leaning down he pressed his lips to mine, pulling away he smiled. Bending down picked up my discarded clothing and got dressed. Walking down the bus Jared and Tomo were waiting, feeling the bus pull up and stop we all headed to the door for fresh air.

‘We’ve got half an hour then we have to be back on the bus’ Tomo said as he walked towards the store

"Come on K" Shannon said pulling me forward

As we entered the store I walked over and grabbed a couple of bars of chocolate, popcorn and some fizzy juice before walking to the till. Paying for my items I turned to Shannon who had an arm filled with items, shaking my head at him I moved to the side so he could pay. Exiting the shop we slowly walked back to the bus, sitting down outside we looked up to the sky enjoying the fresh air. Standing up we walked back onto the bus, soon after it started moving again, walking along to the bunks I pulled Shannon’s Hoodie out and pulled it on. Walking back down the narrow corridor, Shannon sat with his face like thunder

‘I…I…I...Shan’ Jared mumbled

‘Don't Shann me Bro…I’ve had enough of this’ Shannon said, his temper rising

Walking over I looked puzzled, motioning me to sit down I done as I was told, sitting down in the booth I looked to Jared who looked like he would snap any moment

 ‘Tomo here now’ Shannon yelled up the bus. Tomo got the queue of Shannon being annoyed, running down the bus he sat down on the bench, looking to me for some sort of explanation I pulled a face and shrugged

‘OK we have to settle this now before it gets out of hand’ Shannon said sitting down.

Looking to Shannon, his hands were clenched looking up to him I smiled trying to get him to calm down. Taking a deep breath he unclenched his jaw before starting

‘People have to stop touching each other’s things, if we are to live with each other I will not see people rummaging through something that is not there’s do you all understand’ Shannon said clearly, turning to him I raised my eye brow

‘Another thing before going in the shower you have to ask EVERYONE on the bus if they need the toilet and tell them you are away in the shower and you LOCK the door” Shannon said as we all nodded our heads in agreement.

‘Can anybody think of anything else” he said looking around the group.

‘OK now children you can go back and finish your activities’ Shannon said as he stood and pinned up the rules in the living area. We all sat there for a few moments before Shannon broke the ice

‘Now that's out the way who wants to watch a movie’ He said as he clapped his hands and walked over to the pile on movies on the floor.

‘Ohhh I want to pick’ I said as I ran over and sat on Shannon’s lap. Jared and Tomo agreed taking the two single chairs leaving us the couch. As I put the DVD in the player I ran into the kitchen and grabbed the snacks I had bought earlier. As we all tucked in the movie began

‘Were off to see the wizard the wonderful wizard of OZ’ we all sang in chorus.

As the movie ended Shannon, Jared, Tomo and I were all cramped into one small space in the living room area. Feeling myself falling asleep I stood up from Shannon’s lap

‘I’m going to bed, night everyone’ I said sleepily.

Walking up to the bunks I quickly changed and climbed into my bed, a few minutes later the curtain was pulled back, Shannon pulled the covers away from my body and climbed in. Resting my head on his chest, drawing circles on his chest I pulled away to look up at him.

‘What was earlier all about’ I asked

Smiling down on me he kissed the top of my forehead, pulling the covers up his body he rested his head on the pillow looking right into my eyes

‘Jared was looking through our stuff earlier’ He said simply. Raising my eye brow I didn’t understand, opening my mouth to ask what the problem was he laughed

‘I didn’t want him to see your thongs and other sex underwear, there for my eyes only’ He said as he pulled me close to his chest. Laughing I shook my head in agreement, kissing his lips softly again I finally fell asleep listening to his steady heart beat
