Host of Imperfections

Chapter 18

The next day Tarja's minor sickness subsided making it easier for her to act like her normal self again.

The entire day, the four of us walked around sight seeing. Tarja and I even ended up finding the only mall in the city and tried to get in a little shopping here and there.

While Malik complained about the wait Jay offered to buy almost anything I picked up and admired but I wasn't having it. He'd already spoiled me enough with this trip. Of course his manly ego was bruised by my defiant behavior so I let him buy me an ice cream cone just to make him feel better. Unfortunately that didn't do anything but make things worse. I swear his almost melted because he was so busy watching me. It was hilarious. In some little strange way, I had fun teasing him but I knew I wasn't doing anything but setting myself up in the process. I knew whenever he got the chance, he'd get me back.

By the time we got back to the suite my legs felt like they were on fire; I'd been walking for so long. To ease the pain, Tarja and I decided to hop in the Jacuzzi outside on the terrace but those two knuckle heads blew us off to play cards instead. I was convinced they were still trying to get revenge for not getting int he water with them the previous day.

We'd show them though. They had their own little conversation going while we had ours not giving a damn until they started getting all competitive and unruly. Tarja got up instigating of course then everything got out of hand.

"Yall loud as shit over here arguing like some lil girls."

"Aye guess what...you can shut the fcuk up!" Jay said making us all laugh.

There was nothing offensive about his comment. They had one of those love/hate brother-sister type relationships. It was normal for them to go at it like that.

"I hope your dick fall off!" she frowned and stuck her tongue out at him before she went inside draping her towel over her shoulders. Malik ended up losing again not too long after and he went inside too leaving Jay and I outside. He yawned in victory before standing up and I eyed the grapes on the fruit tray next to him.

"Can you bring those over here, I don't feel like walking. My legs still hurt." I pouted.

"Sounds like a personal problem then." He chuckled and I looked at him like he was crazy.

"What happened to 'I'm willing to take care of you Bee...anything you want'..." I tried not laugh while I perfected his voice and little accent but he cut me off.

"Ahh aight I gotchu..." He grinned and grabbed the grapes before bringing them to me. "You think you funny dontchu?"

He leaned on the edge while I stood up and approached him; the water stopping just below my hips.

"I made you laugh, didn't I?" I smirked and reached for the pear colored fruit in his hand but he pulled them away.

"What I tell you about that mouth of yours?"

"I cant reme-"

"Nope that wasn't it." He cut me off and I laughed watching him proceed to turn around and start eating them.

I smacked my lips and grabbed the bottom of his shirt. He turned around with one between his teeth.

"You want this?" he managed to say without it falling out of his mouth.

"Stop playin!" I laughed half heartedly and tilted my head running out of patience.

"Hm..take it!" he told me.

I leaned over less than an inch away from his face catching a whiff of his tantalizing cologne. God, why did he have to smell so good? He leaned back again like he wanted me to beg for it. "I cant if you keep movin!" He finally stood still and I bit into the grape letting my lips brush against his. That sly ass grin appeared on his face again and he pecked my lips once or twice before our tongues met.
