When The Sun Goes Down (Jamie Cook)

Chapter 11: The view from... the pool

Nick, Matt and my brother Alex had already left to the pool. They forgot their towel so I decided that I would bring those for them. Jamie had stayed behind, kindly offering to help me carrying all the heavy stuff. He's such a gentleman. I was putting on my bikini, a red one, that went really good with my hair, when Jamie knocked on my door. 

'Just a minute, Jameh,' I told him. When I put on the pieces of clothing, I opened the door for him, to let him enter. 

'Wow,' he said lowly, sending shivers down my spine. I blushed and walked past him, swinging my hips a little more than usual. I could feel his eyes on me while I put the towels for the lads in the bag and put it over my shoulder. I also went to grab a loose dress, just for walking to the pool. Once I was there, I would just get rid of it. I placed the bag on purpose back onto the floor and put the dress on as elegant as possible. Jamie's mouth fell agape as I continued to tease him. Jamie swallowed the lump in his throat as he watched me. Once I finished putting the dress on I grabbed the back again, swinging it over my shoulder. I looked at him seductively and raising a eyebrow. 

'Ya ready t'leave?' I asked him. He smirked. 

'Can't wait. 'ere, lemme carry this bag for ya ...' he offered me. I nodded and handed him the bag. We got out of our room and walked throught the long corridor and then went into the elevator. We stood there rather awkwardly as the elevator went down. Jamie looked at me and chuckled softly. 

'What?' I asked. He smirked then. 

'Just can't wait' til ya get out of that dress, 'he admitted. I rolled my eyes, but still managed to blush. Great job, Scarlett. The elevator stopped at the floor with the pool on it and we went to search for the other lads. Alex had already taken five deck chairs. I waved at him and he greeted me as well. I threw him a towel and placed the other ones on the deck chairs. 

'Ey Scarlett,' Nick waved, he was in the pool and just then Matt appeared above water, coughing up some water. They smiled. 'Thanks for the towels!' Nick shouted before he was being drowned by Matt. I put the bag down and got rid of the dress. Jamie's eyes peering upon me. 

'Ey, lads, thats me sistah. Keep yer eyes of 'er,' Alex said to them and then I realized that not only Jamie was looking, but Nick and Matt as well. I blushed at that fact and lay down on one of the deck chairs, next to Alex. 

'Thanks, Al,' I said quietly. He smiled. 

'You're studyin' again? 'he asked when I pulled out my maths book. I nodded and he rolled his eyes. 'Okay, but not to long, kay? Remember t '' ave fun, 'he reminded me. I nodded and gave my focus to my math. 

Almost two hours later, someone grabbed the book from my lap and tossed it in the bag where the towels were some time ago. The next thing I know is that I've been lifted up from my seat by Alex. Jamie chuckled as they both walked to the edge of the pool. I struggled in Alex arms as I realized was he was going to do. 

'No! No, Alex! No! 'I yelled at him. Nick and Matt were still in the pool and Jamie also jumped in it. 

'Sorry, sis!' he yelled as he tossed me into the water. I shrieked when the cold water made contact with my body. The pool was rather deep and I found myself not be able to stand, and also far from the edge. Damn, Alex could throw me far ... Jamie swam to me and I swam to him. 

'Can't stand!' I said to Jamie. He chuckled and picked my up in his arms. 'No way, ya can't stand' ere? 'I questioned him. He shrugged. 

'I'm a big boy, ya know,' he said. I rolled my eyes and crawled onto his back. 

'Nah, bring me back,' I whispered in his ear. He shook his head. 

'Nope, I think Imma dive,' he spoke before he dived and swam a few feet under water. When you were above water again, I coughed. 

'Jameh Cook!' I hissed. He laughed and swam towards the edge again. I got off his shoulders and swam my own way back. 

'Please, stay in the pool,' Jamie begged. I thought about it for a few seconds before nodding. This would be the last day in this hotel. Then we would have to sleep a few nights in a tour bus, and I was most certainly that that wouldn't be so comfortable as this hotel. And I might as well enjoy the pool for now. I saw towards him and nodded. 

'Are we going to play a game?' 

'What game?' Jamie asked me seductive. I rolled my eyes at him and turned to Nick, Matt and Alex. 

'Do we have a ball or something?' Alex nodded and got out to grab a soft ball, the size of a volley ball. He then threw it to you and you passed it to Jamie, which he threw to Nick and Nick to Matt and back. 

We played for quit a long time and eventually got out to go and clean our rooms and pack, well, technically I hadn't even unpacked because I knew we were going to stay for two days, but the lads, being their chaotic self, had their clothes all over the place and I decided to lend them a hand. 

The next morning we got our suitcases on the tour bus. The bus, surprisingly, had two levels, upstairs were the beds and downstairs, well, were the seats. 

'Scarlett, give me yer suitcase,' Alex said, taking it from me and dragging it into the bus. I already started to explore the bus and went upstairs . I expected the bus to look old fashioned, but it actually looked really comfortable. The Arctic Monkeys got on the bus as well, and I sat down next to Jamie, now, downstairs, in the back of the bus. Nick, Matt and Alex sat beside us, all in the back. 

'Hi, I'm Peter and I'll be your bus driver,' voice spoke through the speakers. The Monkeys looked at each others and chuckled. 

'To Peter!' Matt cheered. 

'Whoohoo!' Nick cheered. 

'Eeeeh!' Alex went along. 

'Awoooooh!' Jamie howled. I rolled my eyes at them and their childish behavior, but I had to admit it. They were so cute.
