Alone Together

Chapter 10

The day press is over in Belgium, everyone is shuttled onto another plane to London. The agent told them they'll be spending two nights in a hotel while doing interviews and such and then they are headed back to California. Although most of the younger people (Josh, Liam, Sam, Natalie) planned to stay in London for a few days after for a vacation.
"Jennifer, you have to stay in London too!" Natalie Dormer pleaded to Jen while they were on their way there.
"Eh, I don't know. It'd be hard to have fun with all the paparazzi wherever we go."
"Come on, I don't want to be the only lady. Hey, and you can use your middle finger umbrella!"
"I'll think about it."
By the end of the flight, Josh had convinced her- with more than just words- that she should stay.

When they landed, the process of going to the hotel, getting unpacked, and all going out to dinner repeated for the third time three days. At least this time they didn't have to do the same thing the next day.
After they ate, Josh and Jen went back to her hotel room and she spread herself on the floor, yawning.
"It has been a long three days," Josh said lying down next to her. He rolled onto his side and kissed her nose.
Jen rolled to face him and smiled. "I love you, Josh."
"I love you, Jennifer." She leaned into him but paused before she reached his lips and blew hard. Josh sat up, startled.
"Ah, what the hell?" he said laughing and wiping the spit from his face.
"I was showing affection."
Then he just smiled, put his hands up to her cheeks, and kissed her- for a while.

The next day the two of them woke curled up together on the floor. They got ready and headed down with the rest of their coworkers/friends to do press.
Josh, Liam, and Jennifer were scheduled for an interview where they would be quizzed on each other. They asked questions about favorite things and stuff like that and, of course, Josh did very well.
The next day everyone had a few basic interviews.
When everyone was done for the last day of the European press tour, Josh, Jennifer, Woody, and Liam decided to go out for pizza. Josh and Jen cuddled up in his room afterwards to watch television.
"It's getting late. I think I'm gonna go back to my room," she said at the end of the night.
"Okay. Night, baby." Josh kissed her lightly.
As she almost reached her room on the other end of the long hallway, she felt someone grab her from behind, trapping her arms, and swiftly putting duct tape over her mouth while another person but a dark, but loose, bag over her head.
