Fearless (Book 1 of the "Fearless" Series) [Completed]

Chapter 17 - Grown Man

May 4th. Day Off.

[Donnie]

The sound of Dirty Dancing woke me up. I was confused for a moment, wondering where the sound was coming from, but then I saw Emmi asleep next to me on the bed and realised it was her cell phone ringing.

I chuckled to myself before climbing over her on the bed and picking her cell off the bedside unit. Karsyn's name was on the screen. I quickly answered it.

"Hello?"

"Donnie?"

I frowned, hearing Carter's voice on the other end. "Nick?"

"Yeah, dude I stole Karsyn's phone whilst she sleeps. Is Emmi awake? I kinda need to talk to her."

I glanced down at Emmi, who was looking up at me with her bright blue eyes. "Yea, one second." I pulled the cell phone from my ear before smiling down at her. "For you. Nick."

She yawned and took the cell phone from me before talking quietly. I heard her agree to something before she ended the call. Emmi placed the cell phone back on the unit before rolling over to face me.

"Morning."

"Morning beautiful."

The smile that covered her face made me smile just as wide back.

"What did Nick want?" I pulled her against me, not wanting her to leave me at all today.

"He wants to talk to me. I'm not sure why. I've gotta go up to his room. Wanna come?" She snuggled into me, making me smile.

"You won't be long, right?"

She shook her head. "Knowing you're right here waiting for me? Hell no." Emmi leaned up and kissed me before pulling back. "I'll be five minutes."

I watched her leave the bed and head into the bathroom for a moment before leaving the room in the hotel robe. I sat up and grabbed my cell phone, making a call.

I had two days off, and I was going to surprise Emmi.

[Nick]

"Where the hell are we going?" Karsyn asked as I sat next to her on the plane. She still had her blindfold on that I made her put on when we got on the plane I had rented.

I felt kind of weird taking her somewhere that she didn't know about, but I told Emmileigh before hand so that she didn't think she was kidnapped because that's the last thing I need on my rap sheet - kidnapping in a foreign country.

"Keep your panties on," I said, looking down at my phone.

"I can tell we're in a plane, Nick. My ears are popping," she said as she moved her hands over, reaching for me. "If you take my ass back to North Carolina, I'll put my foot up your ass..."

"We're not going to North Carolina," I said as one of the guys looked back, motioning for me that we were getting ready to land. "Just relax, we're landing in a minute."

"You're not selling me into the sex trade thing, are you?" she asked as I snorted. "I know I'm good at it..."

"Shut up," I said, feeling the plane as it started to land. "I'll take the blindfold off in a minute."

"I feel like I've been sitting here all day."

"It's only been an hour, damn," I hissed, putting my phone in my pocket. Sometimes I wondered what the hell I saw in the girl, because she was so bitchy, but then I kind of liked that. She wasn't bitchy in a bad way, but in a good, funny way.

"I feel the plane stopping," she said as I unfastened my seat belt and watched her unfasten hers.

"Fine," I said, standing up and reaching over to undo the blindfold. "Happy now?"

"Yes," she grinned as she stood up and looked around. The door to he plane opened and we made our way out onto the tarmac as one of the guys brought us our luggage. I just had Emmileigh pack enough of Karsyn's stuff to last for two or three days and the rest could be carried to Germany with the tour. "Nick, why are those signs over there in French?"

"Because we're in Paris," I said as she glared at me. "What? You said you were mad because the tour didn't go to Paris and we have two days off, so surprise!"

"I am so cashing in my I.O.U. tonight," she said, grabbing my arm as we headed over to where our luggage was.

It seemed Nick had had the same idea as me when it came to leaving Geneva, and taking our girls somewhere special.

Emmileigh had told me when she came back from speaking to Nick that he was surprising Karsyn with a trip to Paris for a few days. She had expressed how lucky Karsyn was, and it only made me smile.

Emmi had no idea what I had in store.

While she went back to her room to pack some of Karsyn's things, I rang through to the front desk and confirmed the car I had booked to take us to the airport. She didn't know, but I was taking her home for a few days.

Once she had come back I told her we had half an hour before we had to check out. She was confused, but went with whatever I said as I pulled my packed suitcase out my room and followed her back to hers.

We packed light, I put Emmi's luggage with the rest of mine that was being flown to Germany, and we got the car that I had booked. Emmi said nothing until we arrived at the airport.

"Donnie?"

I smiled at her. "Surprise."

"Uh oh. Where you taking me?"

We walked through the airport, approaching a British Airways desk. Emmi looked at me when she saw the words 'Flight 236 11:09 Geneva to London Heathrow'.

"London? You're taking me home?"

I nodded and looked at her. "Is that ok? I thought we could spend a few days together. No tour, No fans, no one interfering. We can just be Emmileigh and Donnie."

Emmi grinned at me before hugging me.
