Never Look Back

Chapter Nine

Jade

I honestly thought I had it rough working nine hours a day at the store, but these two days of 'laying low' in this boring ass hotel made me realize just how foolish I had been. Ethan thought it was too much of a coincidence that we had both gotten attacked, and decided (without asking anyone else's opinions) that we were going to stay incognito until things cool off. Of course, Sam was right beside him nodding like a little bobble head to everything he said. They just need to hook up already. Of course, they probably don't even realize they are attracted to each other. The signs are obvious with their sneaking glances, bright red cheeks when they catch the others eye. It was my job as Sam's unofficial wingman to make this happen, so I convinced Ash and Travis to bunk with me while Ethan and Sam got to have a room together-alone.
   
  The boys are cool. It'll be so fun having them as roommates! I had thought.

Boy, was I wrong. Travis, like me, got bored out of his mind, and then we both started teaming up on Ash, who was completely okay with having to stay cooped up in a bland hotel room for a few days, which leads me to my latest experiment! Ash is a heavy sleeper, and he takes a lot of naps. Hence my one and only chance to see how he would look with six pounds of makeup on.

I could hardly contain my excitement as I slapped on the primer and foundation that were clearly not his skin color.

"He's going to literally murder you when he wakes up." Travis informed, making sure he was far enough away to not be accused of being an alias to my prank, but still having a clear view.

"Lassie, shut up!" I snapped, moving onto the mascara, "He really will wake up if you keep talking."

Time passed, and my masterpiece was completed! I took just enough time to get some blackmail pics before joining Travis on the old orange couch. Like clockwork, Ethan called his buddy at precisely 2:08 p.m.

"What?" Ash mumbled into the phone, "Mhmm...One more day...Kay I will let them know...Bye."

Ash sat up and stared at the two of us, stretching out his joints as a cat would when it woke from its afternoon nap. He was still dressed in the brown t-shirt and blue jeans from the first day, just this time he had a gorgeous, drag-a-licious face.

"We're heading out tomorrow." Ash yawned, padding his way to the bathroom. I grinned at Travis and counted down to five when, "JADE, YOU SON OF A BITCH!"

A beautified Ash chased me around the tiny room until my clumsiness kicked in and I tripped over my own feet. That's when he body slammed me onto the bed.

"You are so dead." He chuckled darkly, pinning me down to the bed.

"You guys aren't going to start having sex, right?" Travis gagged. Sure, I may be semi-attracted to Ash, but that's a tad bit overdramatic.

"Psh, that'd be the most uneventful sex ever." Ash replied, a wicked grin on his face.

Hmph. I kneed him in the side and flipped us to where I was now on top of him. I smiled at his now wide-eyed gaze, "Honey, one time with me, and you'll be begging me for more."

"Oh, gross. You guys are going to make me vomit." Travis pretended to gag once again.

"Enough." I said, jumping up, and grabbing my sneakers, "This is boring. I'm going somewhere fun!"

"Don't you even think about it. Ethan said he wants us to lay low for at least another day." Ash warned.

"Uh, you're stupid, and your opinion is irrelevant. I saw an amusement park on the way here and I'm going. Y'all can either come with or stay cooped up in this hell hole." I was out the door before either of them could react.
