Chapter Nineteen: I'll be Tarzan and you can be Jane

The next few days past quietly after the party that Jayden forced me to attend. The night we got back, he spent the intire four hours we had to sleep complaining that the floor was cold and that he was umcomfortable. I basically told him to suck it up. He spent a lot of time out doing interviews, meet ups, meetings and lunches with important people and the few events that I did go to, my jaw always ached from smiling so much for about an hour afterwards. My days were spent out in the garden by the berch tree or in the pool, reading one of the ten books I'd brought with me in the libary or spending the day out on the cliff with my sketch book. I spent hours on the phone with Zoe and Prim, text back and forth with Taylor constantly and spent more time with the resorts puppy Elvis then I thought was humanly possible. But that might have been because I missed Toby a lot more then I ever thought I would. Jayden would come back normally when it was dark and we'd have dinner out on the balcony and then watch a movie until either one of us fell asleep on the sofa. I know for a fact that if Zoe or Taylor were here with me, (God help me if they both were) they would have become bored with my uneventful shedual and would have wanted to be out shopping or going on boat rides and spending the whole day in the city where it was nosy and busy and where you could hardly hear yourself think. But I'd always been someone who preferred my own company and found not having to interact with anyone who would ask me stupid questions, or having to watch what I said about Jayden out in public was a nice change from the previous three months of my life relaxing. I didn't need people and noise and constant chatter to be comfortable. My mother always used to say she could leave me in an empty room when I was a kid and come back three hours later and I'd be happily intertaining myself with nothing but a piece of paper and a bucket.

It was the morning of our last day in England and I was lying on my back on a beach towel reading Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. Jayden was swimming in the pool beside me, doing some crazy fitness program Jack had put him on to get him ready for an audition he was doing once we arrived back in L.A. I'd just gotten to the point where Alice meets the Mad Hatter for the first time when Jayden pulled himself out of the pool right next to me, not only getting water on me, but on my book as well.

"Watch it Jerkpid!" I said, jerking away from him and rolling away from the waters edge. Jayden peeked out from under the towel he was using to dry his hair.

"Sorry." He said, removing the towel from his hair and shaking his head like a dog might shake after a bath. I let out another shriek as more water fell on my page.

"Jayden!" I cried. Jayden threw his towel onto the beach chair behind me and rolled his eyes.

"Chill out Nala Bear! It's only a book!" I glared at him and flipped him the bird, trying my best to whipe off the water without ruining the page. I stood up and turned my back on him, partly to prove a point and partly because him not having a shirt on was slightly distracting. I heard him sigh. "Come on Nala Bear. I didn't mean to." I continued to ignore him until he came up behind me and put his hand on my back. I almost jumped a foot in the air and my heart rate jumped onto a friggin treadmill. When he finally got me to turn around, his blue eyes did nothing to calm my erratic breathing, but I did my best to hide it. "I'm sorry." Jayden said and I could tell he meant it. "Forgive me?" I let out a sigh.
