Joshua Bam Bam Brown: Collection of Short Alaskan Bush People Fan Fics

Alaskan Adventure. Part 1

After spending the first half of your twenties stuck in a small town in the Midwest, you were ready for something different. You were ready for an adventure. And what could be more different from the flat land of Kansas than the mountains of Alaska?

Deciding to make your move to Alaska with your best friend sounded like a great idea. Having a guy as a best friend had never been an issue in all the years you had known him. But traveling a thousand miles in a car with a single, twenty-five-year-old guy turned out to be a bit more stressful than you would have imagined. You loved him like a brother, but Titus had the personal hygiene of a ten year old. And the concept of personal space was so foreign to him that your first night on the road you slept in the back seat of the car with his stinky feet so close to your face you thought you might pass out. He was lying awkwardly in the front seat with his feet wedged into the space between the two. Every time you opened your eyes you were treated to one wiggling foot or the other.

But the two of you survived the trek across country and somehow you made it to Seattle without killing each other. After a little haggling at the used car lot, you walked away with a couple thousand dollars for your old car and immediately headed to the airport for your flight to Juneau. The flight was crowded and you and Titus were dead tired as you made your way down the aisle to your seats on the plane. Shoving your carryon in the overhead rack, you dropped heavily into the middle seat, barely registering the person sitting in the window seat. You had traveled with Titus enough to know that he had to have the aisle seat for his frequent trips to the bathroom.

"Dude, it's only a two and a half hour flight." You warned him as he settled into the seat beside you. "Don't drink anything and you might be able to hold out."

"It won't matter. I'll still have to pee even if I don't drink a thing. Flying just makes me really nervous. And when I'm nervous, I have to pee. You know that." He said loudly.

"Yes, and you said that loud enough so that now everyone on the plane knows, too." Rolling your eyes at your friend you heard a soft chuckle from the guy sitting in the window seat to your right.

You slid your eyes over to take a look at him and see if he was friendly enough to chat with for a bit. When you made eye contact, he smiled openly at you and pushed his glasses up on this nose.

"Hi." His voice was deep and his blue eyes were so distracting behind his wire rimmed glasses. His long curls draped around the front of his shoulders and you could see he had a couple of braids and a feather laced into one of the braids.

"Hi." You let out the breath you didn't realize you had been holding in. He was wearing a black leather jacket over a white tank top and your eyes snapped back up to his face as he spoke.

"It's a good thing your boyfriend is in the aisle seat since he's planning to be in the bathroom for most of the flight." He laughed and peeked around your shoulder at Titus.

"It is a good thing." You laughed back with him. "But he's not my boyfriend, although he is my best friend." You corrected.

"No, I'm not your boyfriend." Titus growled under his breath. "Because if I were, I would've dumped you by now for forcing me to make this long trip and we're still not in Alaska."

"Hush, hush. We're almost there." You turned back to your right and held out your hand. "And you are...?"

"A total stranger." He replied with a slight smile.

"Whaaat?" You frowned back at him.

"HAHA!" Titus screamed with laughter as he reached out to shake hands with the man. "That was funny, dude! I'm Titus."

"Hi, I'm Bam Bam. You can call me Bam." He leaned forward slightly to shake Titus' hand and you slumped back in your seat, arms folded.

"Would you two like to be alone?" You muttered bitterly under your breath.

"Oh, lighten up, Sis." Titus jabbed you with his elbow and you scowled angrily at him.

"Stop calling me 'Sis.' I hate that." You really didn't hate that he thought of you as a sister, but in that moment, you hated everything about Titus. And this Bam Bam guy. What was his deal?

"Hey, Sis." Bam held out his hand to you. "I was joking. Truce?" His blue eyes were so deep and when he smiled your insides fluttered so strongly that you had to press one hand against your stomach to hold them down.

"Sure. Truce." You smiled at Bam and shook his hand.

Was it just your imagination or did he hold your hand longer than was necessary for a quick handshake? You flicked your gaze down then back up again and still he held onto your hand. His smile started to spread and he opened his mouth to say something.

"Hey, Bam?" Titus interrupted in a mock whisper. "You might want to let go of her hand now. She's a biter."

"Is it possible for you to just sit there and not say anything?" Whipping your head around to Titus you gave him a fierce scowl.

"No. Don't think so." He mumbled, grabbing the magazine out of the seat back pocket. His grin was wicked and you groaned realizing he was enjoying teasing you. It was a two and a half hour flight and you thought you might have to strangle him before it was over.

"Don't you have to go pee or something?" You poked a finger into his lower belly and grinned as he moaned and slapped at your hand.

"Stop it!" He leaned over to Bam once again. "Evil. She's pure evil. I'm warning you. She's evil and she's a biter."

Titus quickly unbuckled his seatbelt and jumped up to make a quick trip to the bathroom. You turned back to Bam with an embarrassed smile.

"Sorry. And I'm not really a biter." You hurried to reassure him.

"Too bad." You thought you heard him mumble under his breath.

"What?"

"Nothing. So are you a sleeper or a reader or a talker on flights?" Bam tilted his head to the side as he looked at you.

"It depends." You gave him a sexy smile. "What do you do on flights?" If he said sleep, you might have to get a little noisy to wake him up. You really wanted to talk to him and you waited, trying not to appear too eager.

"Normally I listen to music." He lifted up the earbuds he had draped around his neck. Funny you hadn't noticed those before. "But I won't pass up any interesting conversation." He pulled the earbuds from around his neck and stuffed them in his jacket pocket. "And you do seem interesting."

Oh, nice. You thought. You hadn't even made it to Alaska and you were already having an adventure! A blue-eyed, curly-haired adventure.
