Falling Asleep On A Stranger

Chapter 15

Jenna:

Hanging out with the guys was amazing. When I got home, Daryl asked all about it and I told him. Afterwards, I headed up to my room. I wanted to get the chlorine out of my hair so I jumped into the shower. After a while, I walked out and put on some comfortable shorts and a tank top. My phone chimed just as I was finished getting dressed. I grabbed it from where it was laying on my bed. It was a message from Jaime.

Hey cutie! Just wanted to say that we all had an awesome time with you today! You’re really cool! Thanks for joining us. Have a nice night.

I laughed. Oh Jaime, I thought as I texted back, thanking them for everything. I placed my phone on my bedside table and got into bed. I took my camera from the nightstand and started flipping through the pictures. There were pictures that Nat had taken while we were having the chicken fight in the pool. I also found a picture of Jaime hugging me from behind in the pool. I laughed as I went through picture of Vic and Mike making weird faces. After a while, I got to the pictures from when we were all sitting around the hot tub. I saw the picture that Vic had taken of Jaime, Tony, and me. It was perfect. After a couple of more ridiculous pictures, I came across a picture of me and Tony. I was laughing and was about to run my hand through my hair. Tony had his guitar in his hands but his head was turned towards me. He was looking at me while smiling his gorgeous smile. It was the most beautiful picture ever.

I took my Macbook out from under my bed and turned it on as I connected my camera to it. I transferred the picture from my camera to my computer. Then I connected my iPhone to my computer as well and transferred my favorite pictures of the day into it. After I was done I shut down my computer and put it back under my bed. I placed my camera on my nightstand and held the phone in my hands. I scrolled through my pictures until I found the one of me and Tony. I tapped on the options and put it into a message for Tony. I typed in the words: Vic took this picture tonight and I absolutely loved it. I thought you might like it so here it is. Sleep tight. (: I tapped send and minutes later Tony replied.

-I love it. It’s perfect, thank you. Have a good night.

I smiled as I set the picture as my phone’s wallpaper then locked my phone. I set my phone aside and turned off my bedroom light. All I knew after that is that I went to sleep with a smile on my face.

I woke up the next day with a smile still planted on my face. I got out of bed and headed to the bathroom. I brushed my hair and splashed cold water on my face. After brushing my teeth I headed downstairs to where I could smell the pancakes my mom was making. I walked into the kitchen and took in a deep breath smelling the lovely aroma. "Morning, ma." "Morning, baby." "Breakfast almost ready?" she nodded and I started setting the table for four people. About 10 minutes later we sat down to eat. My brother, mom, my step-dad John, and I dug into our breakfast. My mother asked about what I ended up doing yesterday and I told her. She was surprised that I hadn't told her I met my favorite band but she got over it quickly. I brought my camera down from my room so my family could see the pictures. My mom didn't really approve of all the tattoos that the guys had but I didn't care too much about it. "Who's that?" my mom asked when she got to the picture of Tony and me. "That's Tony. He's the band's lead guitarist. We were at his house yesterday. He's the one that invited me and the girls. He's really nice, mom. I met him after the concert on Wednesday. We spent a long time talking and getting to know each other. Then he introduced me to the rest of the band that night and we got along pretty well. They were all sweet and perfect gentlemen." I smiled as I told my mom all the information. We finished our breakfast and I helped my mom clean the kitchen while Daryl cleared the table. After a while my phone started ringing. I pulled it out of my back pocket and noticed that it was Jaime calling. I excused myself from the kitchen and answered the call. "What's up Himes?" "Hey Jenn! I was wondering if you were going to watch the game today? Mexico vs. Brazil." "Oh shit! That's today? I totally forgot! I guess I will watch it, why do you ask?" "Well the guys are going to come over and watch it here at my place and I thought you might like to come." I nodded and then realizing that he can't see me I said, "Yes of course! It starts at two right?" "Yeah the guys will be here at around one thirty." "Alright, I'll be there too." "Great! See you soon!" I hung up the phone and headed back to the kitchen. "Who was that?" my mom asked as I resumed my cleaning tasks. "It was Jaime. The bassist from PTV. He was inviting me over to his house to watch the game later today. Some of his friends are going to be there too." "Oh alright. At what time will you head over there?" "A bit before one thirty." My phone chimed as I received a message from Jaime which included his address. I finished cleaning the kitchen and went up to my room to take a shower. Afterwards, I threw on some black shorts, my green Mexico jersey that my dad got me years ago, and slipped on my all black Vans. I put on my makeup, same as yesterday minus the lipstick. I put on my earrings and my watch. I brushed my hair and decided to let it dry to its natural straight. I grabbed my white hoodie from my closet. Taking my phone, camera, and purse I walked out of my room. I wanted to stop by a store and buy snacks for the game. So I left at around one. 

I stopped by the Am/Pm near my house and bought about 8 or 9 rockstars for the guys and me and two large bags of chips. I paid with the credit card I had gotten when I turned sixteen and got a job back home. I missed it there sometimes but lately I've been liking it here way more. 

I arrived at Jaime’s place at around 1:35 carrying two bags, one with the chips, the other holding the rockstars. Jaime opened the door and I lifted up the bags. “I brought snacks and Rockstars.” I said putting a smile on my face. He laughed and took the bags from me. “Thanks Jenn!” we walked into the house and into the kitchen. “Nice place Himes.” I said as I took a look around. “Thanks. It’s a bit big for me alone but it’s nice for when friends come over. Vic and Mike are in the living room, we’re just waiting on Tony.” I smiled and nodded. He tossed me two Rockstars and took two himself, then we walked into the living room. “Jenn’s here. And she brought snack and drinks.” He said and the Fuentes brothers looked up. “Hey Jenn! Thanks!” Vic said as he caught the Rockstar that Jaime tossed at him. I handed one of the Rockstars I was carrying to Mike as I took a seat next to him on the couch. “Well, someone is in the soccer spirit today. I’m loving the Jersey. It looks good on you.” Mike said with a big grin. “Thanks. I just thought I’d support my team today.” “Damn! I hadn’t even noticed! We’re matching!” Jaime said as he saw my jersey and I noticed that he too was wearing a Mexico jersey. I laughed and raised my camera in question of a picture. As an answer he stood up took the camera and handed it to Mike. He pulled me over to his side. Mike took a picture of us and then sat back down on the couch. He started looking through the pictures in my camera as I talked to Jaime and Vic. “Hey! You don’t have a single picture in here with just me. No fair!” I laughed at Mike’s comment. “I’m sorry Mikey, let’s change that.” I passed the camera to Jaime and moved in closer to Mike. He put his arm around my shoulders and Jaime clicked the shutter. “Damn, I think Mike broke your camera with his face.” He said as he handed back the camera. I laughed and looked at the picture, then handed it to Mike to see. “It’s good.” He said as he started to once again go through the pictures. The doorbell rang then and without anyone getting up to answer, we heard the door open as Tony walked in. “Finally! Tony’s here.” I grabbed a pillow from the couch and threw it at Tony as he walked in the room. “Hey gu—Woah! What was that for?” he said laughing as the pillow hit him. “That’s for being so late! We’ve been waiting for you!” I said lauging. “Sorry, I overslept.” He said as he took a seat next to me on the couch and attacked me with a hug. “Hey, there’s some pretty good pictures in here from Wednesday’s show you know?” Mike handed the camera over to Vic as Tony let me go. “Himes, turn on the TV. The game should be starting soon, and I don’t want to miss a second of it.” I said. “I’m on it!” he flipped through the channels until he found the game. “Hey Tone. Look at this picture of you from the concert!” Vic handed the camera to Tony and I looked over to see what picture he was talking about. It was Tony laughing as he looked straight at my camera. “I remember taking that. You guys had just finished playing A Match into Water.” “Yeah! I remember this! I looked over to the side doors of the venue and there was a girl taking pictures there. I didn’t know that was you though!” “That’s me! I’m the girl!” I said raising my hand in the air. Everyone laughed. I glanced at the TV and saw that the game was about to start. “Alright, let’s put that away now and enjoy this game. We’re going to kick ass!” I said taking the camera from Tony and placing it on the coffee table. “You know? I think I’m going for Brazil in this game.” I heard Tony say, and Jaime and I turned to glare at him. “I’m kidding guys! Damn, you two are serious about this.” He said laughing. Jaime and I turned back to the screen as we heard the announcer say, “And it’s off! We’re starting off with Mexico playing in the offensive. Brazil had to come down and keep work on their defense.” 19 minutes into the game Javier, Chicharito, Hernandez scored the first goal against Brazil! “HELL YES!” Jaime and I jumped from our seats and gave each other a high five. “Shit! Did you see that? The pass? Guardado timed it perfectly! That was awesome!” I said to Jaime. “And the way he took out those three defense! That was insane!” He ended for me. I nodded! “It truly was.” At half-time, Mexico was still winning 1 – 0. I headed into the kitchen to refill a bowl with the chips I had brought. Tony walked in a little bit later. “You seem to be enjoying yourself in there.” He said with a smile on his face. “What can I say? Soccer games get out my fanatic side.” He laughed. “It’s cute though. You get all into the game.” I blushed slightly. “Hey Jenn! Get back in here it’s starting!” I heard Jaime call from the living room. “On my way! Come on; let’s go finish this game off.” I said to Tony as we headed back to the living room. I put the bowl of chips on the coffee table and reclaimed my seat on the couch.
