CHAPTER 7: "HAWAIIAN AQUA PUNCH"

JAY' S P.O.V. 

This morning as I woke up my phone was beeping none stop. I had messages from a lot of people wanting to meet with me and offering me to be my manager. I didn't' t really pay them much importance; I knew why they were looking for me all at once. The pictures I had taken with Leo were all over the place. Mixed comments from fans from both sides, some comments stuck out, especially the ones that said we look good together. 

If people would only know we really have no relationship and are too alike to be a functional couple. The only difference is that Leo runs from an extremely cold to burning hot attitude over a difference of seconds. One minute he is shy and almost mute, ignoring me, and then the other he is saying all kinds of sexy innuendos. I need to get a better look into what makes him like that. I wonder if N would help me out. You don't need to know all about him, in two more weeks you won't see him ever again. I was annoyed that that thought made me sad. "What are you so deep in thought about?" Pye was leaning on my door frame, looking at me. 

"Nothing really...So how did things go with N last night?" She came into the room and sat down beside me on my bed. 

"I know you are changing the subject but to answer the question I am really happy to see N. He is so my style and looks like he is excited to see me as well, we will see how it goes." She was smiling hugely, and then got serious as she scooted closer to me. 

"Tell me what' s wrong." She was begging me with her eyes. 

"Nothing really...It's just that I don't get Leo at all. When we first meet he was a total gentleman, but what got me interesting was the information you gave me. When I finally meet him, he ignored me for most of the night and all that time all I could think about was how handsome he is. At the end of the night, that I finally got a conversation out of him, he...These days he is hot then changes to cold in no time, I..." I stopped talking. 

"Don't stop now, come on tell me." She was intrigued. 

"Well everything he does leads me to think he may be interested in me, but sometimes I think he is just a player. I don't know, some of the things he says are so innocent. While he has said some of the most shocking comments, which guided my mind straight into the gutter." I looked at her she had to be able to give me some kind of advice. "I don't feel like myself when I' m around him. I should not care about how he is or what he does because this for me isn't real. It doesn't have a future. I just don't want him to get attached to me for real and I find it hard to keep him away without being rude. What is wrong with me?" 

"I never thought I would see this day. Relax, last night N told me he had never seen Leo so chivalrous, kind, happy, and talkative. He seems to like you and if I have to say it myself because you won't. It seems to me, that you like him." I could not fathom the latter, how could I like (really like) someone I just meet? 

"Not a chance, liking someone has only gotten me in trouble in the past. I can admit that he has been the first guy in years to call my attention, but for my own sake and his, this will only last a few more days." 

"Not every man out there the same and I wish you would stop treating yourself like a plague. I know you don't wish to have to rely on anyone but take it from me, anyone that really loves you, wants you to depend on them. Besides, there haven't been any incidents lately and you have been very happy this week. I say you give him a chance and if at the end of the trip you still want to go your own way, I won't stop you. But really give him a fighting chance." Pye may have a point and I am tired of being alone. 

An hour later we were heading out to meet the guys to eat, this time at the breakfast buffet. We decided to go sightseeing around Suva's shopping district we were taking our car and leaving at 9 am. It was now 7:30 am when we found them at a table for four. Like perfect gentlemen, they stood up when we arrived. "Let' s get our food!" Said N as a greeting.
