Loved You First (#Wattys2016)

Chapter 5: Jade

Paris' POV.

"What exactly are we doing?" I asked Ian from beside me.

After Shane released me from his tight grip, we decided to swim for a bit and tour around the hotel. After we ate lunch Shane decided we go for a short walk. I don't know what happened to the short walk because for all I know, we've been walking the whole perimeter of Texas.

"I don't know. Ask him." Ian shrugged and pointed to Shane. Obviously, we're all worn out and irritated. Well, except for Jade because her period is causing her a one eighty degree turn in terms of her emotional being.

"Hey Shane!" I called out since Ian and I were behind him and he was leading the pack. "Where on earth are we going?"

"Where do you think?" He asked back which caused all of us to stop walking for a second.

"Oh I don't know, to the North Pole." I said sarcastically. "We've been walking for hours and hours on end."

He gave me a blank look. "Why are we here in the first place?"

"To find the love of your life of course!" Jade exclaimed clapping her hands and giggling.

"Seriously. We're going to have to deal with her mood swings for a whole week?" Charlie said shaking his head.

"Isn't this fun?" Jade asked with a huge grin and extended her hands on both sides.

"For you." Charlie muttered.

"Oh oh oh!" Jade shrieked and pointed to something. "I want brownies and candies!"

I face palmed. "I swear. 4 more days and she'll be back."

"Alright. Back to the topic at hand. Where are we going?" Margot asked.

Shane shrugged. "I don't know. All I know is I'm going to find a gorgeous girl and ask her to be my girlfriend."

I gaped at him. Okay, it stings a little but we all know that's a stupid logic. "That's the reason why we've been walking for who knows how long?"

"Uhm. Yes..?" He nodded.

We all blinked at him. "For the love of God, Shane! You could've told us! We should have just went to a speed dating or just flirted at the front desk. Oh god, Shane. I didn't know you were this stupid." Ian said pinching his nose.

"Brownies!" Jade whined and stomped her foot.

"Alright. We're going to a cafe to rest for a while so we can grab your brownie." Ian grumbled and we all headed to a coffee shop.

"I'm so sorry guys." Shane apologized as we all sat down in the coffee shop after ordering.

Ian sighed. "It's fine, man. Just. I don't know flirt with the girls you find pretty here."

"I guess that could work." Shane nodded and stood up.

"Watch how the real master works." He said cracking his fingers.

"You suck at this." I stated once Shane sat down again at our table.

"Couldn't agree more." Charlie nodded taking a sip from his frappé.

"What? It's not my fault!" Shane said raising both his hands in mock surrender.

Ian slammed down his mug. "Not your fault? Not your fault?! You got slapped, poured coffee all over your shirt and face, thrown dirty looks and got punched in the jaw because the one you're flirting with already has a boyfriend. I can already see a bruise forming and there's a cut above your eyebrows. And you tell me this isn't your fault?"
