Friends & Paradise

Chapter 15 - News Articles (Natasha's POV)

The next morning, I woke up at ten in the morning. I got up from my bed, and washed my teeth and then went into the living room. My friends were already up. Amelia was watching the TV while Danielle was in her computer.

"Morning." I said sleepily.

"Hey." Amelia said.

"Did you guys order breakfast or do you wanna go downstairs?"

"No, we didn't order any. Let's call downstairs." Amelia said.

"Sure." I said.

Then, I went to the phone in the living room, and called downstairs. This time, Jeremy wasn't the one to answer.

"Good morning, room service, how may I help you?" said the receiver downstairs.

"Hello, I am in room 359 and we would like to order some breakfast." I said.

"Sure, what can I get for you?"

"Can you bring us... a continental breakfast for three?"

"Sure. Breakfast will be there in half an hour."

"Okay, thank you." I said, and then hung up.

Then, I put the phone down on the table, and sat down in the couch. I looked curiously at Danielle, and saw that she was really into her computer.

"What are you doing there?" I asked.

"Probably Facebook." Amelia said, shrugging.

"You guys have to see this." Danielle said.

Amelia and I gathered around the computer, and saw that Danielle had a Safari window opened in TMZ.com. The article had a picture of Jason and I yesterday at The Dig when we were in our date. It also showed another picture of us running through the lobby. The article's title was: Jason Westin's Mystery Girl, and the content was:

'Former party-goer, Jason Westin, was seen recently out in The Atlantis Resort at The Bahamas with a mystery brunette girl. There was no word from Jason or the mystery girl about this meeting, yet, we are pretty sure something is going on between the two.'

"Oh. My. God. I am so busted." I said. "TMZ caught us, and I am very sure they're not the only ones, since, there were like a million paparazzi last night. What am I gonna do if Amber finds out?"

"You two need to be more careful tonight. I mean, one thing is Amber finding out, another completely different thing is Jason's parents finding out." Amelia said.

"You're right. I mean, how will they react when they see that their son was out on a date with someone they don't know. And isn't even of their same class."

"Aren't you going to see him tonight?" Danielle asked.

"Yeah, this afternoon. And I have no idea how we're actually going to deal with the paparazzi." I said, then, there was a knock on the door. I got up to open it, and there was the room service waiter with breakfast.

"Thank you." I said, as I signed the paper he gave me to pay for the order, and then he left.

My friends and I grabbed our breakfast and brought them over to the coffee table in the middle of the living room. We started eating, and tried to forget about the news article. At least I tried to forget about it. If Jason and I walked around the beach at the same time, the paparazzi will be crazier this time, because they've already seen us together, and now they wanna know what is really going on.

This is so messed up!

Still, I don't really regret anything that happened last night. i just want to talk to him and actually know what we're going to do, but I don't even know in what room he's staying in, or know his phone number.
