Wild Heart

Meet and Greet

"You brought me pizza. I will love you forever."

Someone whispered in my ear from behind me. They were close enough to me that I could almost feel their lips brushing against my ear, and their breath was warm on my neck sending electric chills from head to toe. Before I could do anything to defend myself, I was pulled in a direction, my arms pulled tight behind me, and my eyes completely covered.

"Taylor, give me your bandana!" the person said from behind me called. My arms flayed around wildly, occaisionally touching someone, or something. Panic stared to increase my heart rate to where it beat against my chest hard. I was stuck in a room with a bunch of teenage boys with my clothes so soaking, and freezing; things couldnt get any worse.

"Um, isnt this like kidnapping?" someone asked. Their voice was catious.

"Nope. Don't think so." the voice came from in front of me.

"Besides, once we take the blind fold off, she'll be begging to stay with us." somone else replied.

The hands slipped from my head as slick as water. A breif flash of laughing brown eyes staring at me was all I caught before something slipped over my eyes. I was blind, again.

Someone gently helped me into a chair. I sat on the edge, not even fully sitting down.

"What the crap is going on?" I asked. I reached up to rip the bandana from my head. Hands grabbed my own and placed them firmly, but gently, into my lap.

"Hayes, hold her hands down will you?" someone said. There was a lot of moving around. More hands gripped my hands. I thrashed out, but then a weight maybe as heavy as mine sat on my lap. I was immobile, and blind. This was the worst delivery I had ever done.

The spicy aroma of the pizza filled the room. There was a shout.

"No, Aaron! Don't open the pizza until we take the blind fold off!" someone said. Their voice had a slight southern accent. "Hayes, you fatty, your probably suffocating her."

The person on top of me, I was guessing his name was Hayes, shook, like he had shrugged or something. I wanted him off of me, and i wanted the blind fold off. I lifted my knee sharply and hard, right in his bony butt.

Hayes flew off of me, yelling. "She just corn dogged me!"

I ripped the bandana from my head and threw it. "WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?"

I was standing, fists clenched at my sides, one foot slightly in front of the other, with a confident tilt in my chin. All around me, boys stared, some holding pizzas in their hands heading halfway to their mouths. I would have been embarrassed, but I was to furious and frustrated to care.

"You mean....you don't know?" one of the boys asked. He had lighter blonde hair and was sitting in the office chair.

"Am I supposed too?" I asked. Maybe I did know them from somewhere, they did seem familiar. If they did know me and I knew them, it made the whole "grab you and blind fold you and keep you in our hotel room" thing seem alot let creepy.

"Have you been living under a rock?" another boy with dark black hair and crystal blue eyes asked. His voice sounded like he was joking, but his face was serious. He had been the one with the southern accent before. "We are only the most popular viners and youtubers...EVER."

"Mmmm, doesnt ring a bell." i said, scratching the back of my soaking wet hair. Thats when i noticed something was missing. My hat. I looked around, seeking out the bright red pizza hut hat. I found it on the head of one of the boys with blonde hair and a cute button nose. I snatched the hat from his head.

"If you don't mind, could I get paid now?" I asked, holding out my hand. I wanted out of this hotel room and back into my car so I could drive home and watch some more episodes of Psych with some cold left over pizza and a blanket.

Before anyone moved, the door open. There was a girl, surprisingly, ears plugged into head phones, with wild curly red hair. She was wearing a onzie and had a head band with mouse ears sticking out. She looked up and noticed everyone staring at her.

"Oh goody! The pizza's here!" she exclaimed, running over and pulling off a slice for herself. After she took a huge bite, she finally noticed me. She gestured to me with a jerk of her chin. "Whos the chick?"

"The chick whose already out the door." I said, then added. "Just as soon as someone pays her." i gestured with my fingers to say I needed it now.

"Uh, the thing is, we don't actually have any money..." someone said. He had picked up the bandana that had been wrapped around my head and was wearing it around his instead. He was shirtless, and perfectly carved. He looked like a tool to me, so I looked away. I've had just about enough of tool guys like him.

"But, we can pay you with something else..." a boy called at me. My neck snapped in the direction. I stared into the brown eyes I had seen before breifly, then I stared down the rest of him. He was sprawled across the bed, shirtless as well, and in basketball shorts. If I thought the other boy was a tool, this guy was the whole tool box; extremely toned arms and pecks, and wash board abs. It was like he was wasn’t even trying to be attractive. He winked at me, twisting my stomach, almost making me blush. He grinned at this, and his smile was just as perfect.

"Yeah, sorry, but I dont think my boss is gonna take...that." I gestered with my eyes up and down his body. He grinned even bigger, and his hand found its way to his hair where it sifted through gracefully. I blinked a couple times, and before I could stop myself, the words came spilling out. "Actually, maybe..."

I think I was talking about myself when I said that, but I wasnt sure. I felt my cheeks burn. Laughs filled the room, making me smile slightly. I looked down at my hat in my hands, suddenly embarrassed, all my confidence out the window.

"Cameron!" the girl said, laughing and shooting the boy sprawled across the bed a nasty look. Then, she turned to me. "Whats your name, cutie?"

I looked up. "Kim." I said, feeling my cheeks burn down a little.

"Well, Kim." she said. "I think I have an idea on how we can pay you back."
