Chapter 15
It's been a week since I've moved in with Connor, and the other boys. To say it was hectic is a major understatement. I started college again, and I was loving the weather. Being able to wear shorts, and a tank top everyday made me smile.
"Whatcha cookin' good lookin'" Connor says as he enters the kitchen and kisses my cheek.
"Food for myself." I tell him smugly. He trys to grab a bacon strip, but I stop him.
"Why aren't you feeding me." He pouts trying to get me to feel bad. "You know I can't cook."
"Maybe you should make a bowl of cereal, beginners stuff." I smile at his scowl.
He enters the pantry to pull out some healthy cereal, and I stare at him with a crazed look.
"Why don't you eat some Coco Puffs or something?" I ask.
"I don't want to."
"So you're eating some health nut food?" I asked amused.
"This "health nut food" is healthy and good for me unlike that." He says pointing to my food.
What I am eating is perfectly fine. Bacon, oatmeal, eggs, and toast isn't too bad.
"Whatever, while I indulge you can eat some bark for all I care." I tease.
"Do you have lessons today?" He asks me.
"Nope, it's a free day to catch up on work and study." I tell him.
"Want to make a video with me?" He asks hopefully. "I want to head to Venice Beach and interview people. You can be like my co-host." He explains.
I smile at him and nod.
"That's a really good idea, I like it." I reply.
"Great, be ready by 12."
I look at the clock noting that I have 3 hours to get ready. I run up to our room, and swap into my bathing suit. I wear a sundress as a cover, and slipped on my sandals.
I apply a thin layer of waterproof mascara, and chapstick since Connor likes my more natural look. I let my hair flow down naturally, and smile at myself in the mirror.
"Beautiful as usual." Connor smiles from behind me.
"Why do you always walk in when I'm changing or getting ready?" I ask him smirking slightly.
"Just trying to get my luck up." He wraps his arms around my waist and I lean into him. "I love you." He tells me unexpectedly.
I still get the same butterflies that I got when he first said it. "I love you too." I give him a small peck on the lips before pushing away from him.
"You sir, you need to get ready for today."
"I would rather stay in today actually." I roll my eyes at his response.
"Sorry Con, we are going because I am dying to get tanned." He groans and trots off into the ensuite.
I head back downstairs to clean up my mess, but instead I find Jc eating the remains.
"Jc?" I ask. He quickly shoves the last bacon strip into his mouth, and smiles at me.
"Hey Juliet."
I roll my eyes at him, and sit on the couch to wait for Connor. About 5 minutes later he comes down, looking amazing. How it takes boys less than 10 minutes to get ready astonishes me.
"Are you ready to go?" He asks.
"Yeah."
Ricky then comes pounding down the stairs with his beach attire on.
"You're coming too?" I ask.
"Hell yeah!"
I grin and lock arms with him.
"Wow, I feel the love." Connor mutters.
"Grow a pair." I coo and pinch his cheeks causing him to blush slightly.
We enter the car, and make our way out to Venice.
"This is so exciting!" I squeal. I decided to sit in the back with Ricky much to Connor's dismay.
"I spy something brown." Ricky says randomly.
"Palm trees." I say automatically.
"Yes!" I smile at him.
"I spy something grey." I say.
"The road." Connor suggests.
"Nope."
"Is it the pole?" Ricky asks.
"Yes! You know my so well." I smile at him before glancing at an annoyed Connor.
"Connor, ease up it's okay that Ricky knows me better than you." I tell him.
Ricky lets out a laugh as Connor rolls his eyes.
We eventually reach our destination, and tumble out of the car. The first few hours, I spend lounging by the ocean getting a tan. Two hours in Connor splashes water all over me.
"Connor!" I shriek.
"I didn't want you to burn?" He offers.
I growl at him before flipping over again for the second time. I lay for about a minute then I feel a blanket cover me.
"What are you doing?" I ask him.
"I don't want other boys staring." He says bluntly. I laugh at him before I reach up to kiss him.
"You're not gonna lose me to some horny, perverted boys." I whisper against his lips.
"I hope not." He says before leaning back in to kiss me.
"Guys... Guys.... GUYS!" Ricky screams at us causing us to stop.
"What?" Connor yells at him.
"It's nearly 2, let's start recording."
"Okay." I chirp, and pull well drag Connor up.
Ricky grabs the camera, and microphones then hands it to us. Ricky nods his head showing that he has started recording.
"Hello everybody, this week on O2L is interview week. Juliet and I are going to go around, and just ask people random questions about looovee." He says dragging out the vowels.
"That is right, Connor. We are going to interview people." I say smiling into the camera. Connor and Ricky both give me a look, and I just shrug my shoulders.
We walk up to an old couple to interview first.
"Hello, I am Juliet and this is Connor. We just want to ask you a question about love." I say to them.
"Oh, yes dearie. Go ahead." The lady says.
"How long have you two been together?" Connor asks.
The couple gazes deeply into each others eyes clearly showing affection before they murmur 40 years in unison.
"This one was a wild one back then." The old man says. "She was a gymnast, and very flexible too." He winks at the camera.
Connor bursts out laughing, and i just stare shocked.
