No Strings Attached

Chapter 4- No Breakfast And Mustaches

My stomach churned a little just thinking of my abusive ‘boyfriend’.

“Alright, I think we should all go out for breakfast together, considering we missed the breakfast that the hotel had open this morning.” Tom piped up.

Everyone nodded and agreed.

“Thanks a lot for making me miss breakfast, Heather.” I said quietly to her, but loud enough so she could hear me. I looked over to Nathan and then back at her. “Literally, thanks.”

“Anything for love.” She joked.

I rolled my eyes and followed everyone else outside.

Nathan’s P.O.V

 “Tom, you really didn’t need to do that.” Jay said when we walked out, or should I say, got kicked out of iHop. [A/N alright, I don’t know if there actually is an iHope in the Bahamas, but let’s just pretend that there is :P].

“Well it wasn’t my fault!” Tom argued.

“Uhh…yeah it was.” Willow said.

“Well they messed up my order. I wanted one of those pancake plates with the whip cream and strawberries and all that other stuff and you know what I got?! PLAIN PANCAKES! They didn’t even have the nerve to put syrup on it at least!” he complained.

Jordan was standing by my side, biting her lip, and trying to hide her huge urge to laugh at this whole thing.

“Well thanks to you, we’re now banned from every iHop here in the Caribbean AND Canada!” Jay exclaimed.

“I honestly don’t even understand why they got Canada involved in this too.” Rachael said.

“Maybe they exchange their syrup.” Heather joked.

“Apparently not enough for them to provide Tom with some.” Jordan added.

“Thank you, Jordan!” He said happily.

 “Yeah, and what ever happened to ‘the customer is always right’?” I pointed out.

Tom nodded his head in approval and looked at everyone else.

“Well maybe the customer would be right if they didn’t have to scream and throw a tantrum at the employees!” Jay said, talking about Tom’s little tantrum he caused in there.

Rachael grabbed Jay and tried to calm him down. “Jay, chill. We can go eat somewhere else.”

Jay sighed, “Alright then.”

“Ooohh the hand holding?! First step in a relationship!” Kat said out of nowhere and pointed to Rachael and Jay’s hands together. They both looked down and quickly let go, blushing.

I then felt Jordan’s hand brush against mine and without thinking, I grabbed it and held it.

She looked over at me and shot me a smile, exposing her cute little dimples she had and held onto my hand tighter.

We all got to our little rental car that we got and hopped inside. Max was driving. Kat sat in the passenger seat next to him. Siva, Willow, Rachael, and Jay sat in the first row while Heather, Tom, Jordan, and I sat in the row behind them.

Willow stood up from her seat and said, “Alright, so now what? It’s-“ She stopped and looked at her watch. “2:30 and we still have not had breakfast and we’re immensely bored!”

“’Immensely’?” Max question.

“Yeah, it’s a word. Look it up!”

“We could go bowling!!” Kat suggested. I really think she’s secretly a child dressed up as a teenager.

“Or have lunch.” Siva said logically.

“Might as well just call it ‘brunch’.” Willow corrected him and sat back down.

As they were discussing on what to do next, I heard Jordan whisper to me, “Thanks for the little text this morning. You honestly don’t know how much it means for a girl to walk up and read a message like that.”

I looked over at her and smiled. “My pleasure.”

“OHH I GOT IT!” Rachael exclaimed and literally jumped from her seat. “Let’s go see a movie!”

“But we didn’t even eat yet.” Jordan pointed out.

Heather clutched her stomach and looked over at her, “Girl, at this point, even a small bag of popcorn will do.”

Jordan shrugged and looked over at Tom, “You promise not to go crazy at the movie theater people if they don’t put enough butter in your popcorn?” she joked.

Tom gave her a small glare and grabbed her snapback from on top of her head. “I look so much more gangster in this.”

She reached over and tried to grab it, “Yeah boy, you wish!”

I smiled to myself. What an interesting little bunch we are. :]
