Chapter 4 - When in Rome..

Chapter 4 - When in Rome..

* Shane's POV *

Joey Graceffa kissed me. 

He fucking kissed me. It was better than I could've imagined. 

Too bad I was only dreaming. 

"Joey, Shane. Get the fuck up!" More beating on the door. "Shane." Joey whined, rolling over to face me. My eyes shot open as soon as I heard beating on the door. It could've been the cops. But it wasn't... just Sawyer. "Shane?" Joey whined again and I tapped his arm. His eyes flickered open and as they met mine, a huge smile spread across his face. "There you are.." Last night after Joey told me he was waiting for me, Sawyer knocked on the door and told us we should probably be getting to sleep. Joey and I whispered for a few more minutes before we actually did go to sleep. We didn't discuss anything more on the matter of us needing eachother...Just stupid stuff. "Here I am." I laughed softly, pulling myself out of bed. "I guess we need to go." I pouted, looking at Joey. Gorgeous, amazing Joey. I wouldn't get to spend anymore alone time with him today...which instantly made my mood sour. 

"Yeah.." Joey sighed, slowly getting out of bed. His bed-head was absolutely adorable. He grabbed the remote from the middle of the bed and shut off the TV. I walked around the bed and to the door, opening it to Sawyer stand there, tapping his foot impatiently. "Took you long enough. Come on, We can hit up atleast two different places here. Then we've got to go." Joey pushed past me; grabbing my wrist when he walked past. He pulled me out of the doorway, letting the door shut behind us. "I'll explain what he's talking about in the car. Come on." Once back in the lobby, Sawyer waved to the lady behind the counter. It was a different lady from last night. She didn't recognize us without our disguises on. "Have a nice day." Sawyer called and she shot him a smile. Shit, they were good. 

Sawyer unlocked the car and threw their bag in the back. Joey led me to the backseat's doors, opened one and gestured for me to get in first. I climbed in and Joey climbed in after me, buckling up. I followed suit and buckled up too. 

Once we were on the road, Joey turned to me. "I bet you're wondering why we got up at five am when we rob at night." I nodded. "Well, That lady that we got the room keys from? She'd be back by the time we were leaving the hotel...She could've called the cops just before we left and had us surrounded. Her shifts are at night. So, we left early. Plus we have to scout all day long for the places we go to. We have to see how their schedule works and how their employees rotate. It's a long, exhausting process." He finished. I didn't know how felt about all of this just yet. I was literally forced into this, just last night. I didn't know if I'd like this kind of lifestyle. There was, of course, no going back now but I almost wish I had a choice. But then I thought of my dad....I shuddered. 

Joey took hold of my hand, squeezing my fingers. I smiled, looking down. "Joey, do you know how big L.A is?" Sawyer glanced at Joey in the rearview mirror. Joey shook his head. "Well, it's huge. I have an idea, too..." Sawyer trailed off. I had a feeling I wouldn't like this idea.

* Joey's POV *

After Sawyer getting jealous of Shane last night, I did not want to find out what his idea was. But he'd end up telling us anyway. "What's your idea?" I tried to make my voice sound calm. After all, this idea was going to target Shane..But I wouldn't let him follow through. No way, no how. 

"Maybe...We should drop Shane off somewhere and let him take care of that place and then you and me, Joey, can hit up another place." I shook my head immediately. "No. I can go with Shane and you can go alone, but no." Sawyer frowned. "But I can't do this alone...And if we all do one together then go to do another one, the cops would get us." 

I shook my head again, "No deal, Sawyer. Looks like we're only doing one." Sawyer groaned. "God, seriously? This is our last day in America...You're being forreal?" I nodded.

I wondered where we'd go. We were practically rich, We could go anywhere we wanted. We have a buddy waiting at the LAX to board us onto a plane and take off. We'd never make it past the security lines, so our pilot friend is going to sneak us aboard. We were still undecided about where we'd go, but we'd have to make a decision quick. We couldn't fool around on the plane, the pilot had to report back to the headquarters at L.A and tell them where we were going...

Maybe I'd ask Shane where he's always wanted to go.

* Shane's POV *

We were seriously leaving the country? I didn't know how I felt about being shipped to a foreign country. How would we get on a plane anyway? They have security lines, which we would not pass. 

"Where do you wanna go?" Joey tapped my knee, making me look back up at him. "Huh?" I raised a brow. Where didn't I want to go? I just didn't...I didn't want to permanently leave the country. "Have you thought about...maybe France? Or Italy?" Joey's eyes lit up just talking about it all. I figured he's never gotten the opportunity to travel. I haven't either...But Joey seemed really intrigued by it all. It was cute.  "Italy...Don't they have really great food?" Joey laughed softly. "Yeah, they do." He grinned at me. "Then Let's go to Italy." I joked but Joey nodded. "Sawyer, Let's go to Italy." Sawyer rolled his eyes. "Whatever, lovebirds." It almost sounded like Sawyer was jealous...I shook it off..

"Paris is the City of Love, Sawyer. Paris is in France." Joey explained, rolling his eyes. "Whatever." Sawyer snorted. "So...What shall we acquire today? Money or Diamonds?" 

"Italy and Diamonds? Sounds like bliss to me.." I said dreamily and Sawyer shrugged. "Oh, Let's go to Rome!" Joey nodded enthusiastically. I smiled, watching Joey from under my eyelashes. He was looking out the window, just watching the world pass him by. And I watched him...

I think I loved him. Really, really loved him.

"Rome it is." Sawyer said from the front seat, a slight smirk on his face. Well...If we were going to Italy..and I only had to commit one crime..

Well, you know what they say. When in Rome..

Do as the Romans do.
