Michael's POV
I slowly open my eyes, greeted by morning twilight. I move my head looking down at Tatiana, who is in my arms fast asleep.
I smile slightly closing my eyes tiredly. We stayed up all night sitting on a blanket on the beach just talking.
I chuckle slightly staring up at the sky. I don't remember exactly how it happened but we fell asleep on the beach.
"Mmm...Tatiana." I mumble softly gently rubbing her back. She moans lightly, as I press my lips against her head softly.
"Babygirl, wake up." I whisper as she stirs in her sleep, letting out a soft groan.
"Hmph.." she answers in a pouty tone, her eyes still closed. I chuckle softly and squeeze her tight in my arms.
"We have to get up." I whisper. "We fell asleep on the beach."
"Ten more minutes..." she whispers tiredly. I give a soft laugh as she buries her face in my chest.
"Come on, angel. We have to get up before rehearsal."
She breathes out softly, slowly opening her eyes. She sniffles lightly moving her head sleepily.
"Goodmorning..." I whisper as she shivers slightly against me.
She opens her eyes more, taking in her surroundings. The realization hits her of where we are, as she shoots up quickly.
"Oh my God!" she exclaims, her eyes wide and wild curls sticking everywhere.
I stare at her blankly for a moment, and busts out laughing.
"Oh God..." I laugh hard holding my sides. "You should see how you look right now."
"Shutup..." she groans letting out a laugh, as I reach my hand out fixing her curls. She yawns and stretches out her arms lazily looking around.
"Why did you have to make practice so damn early?" she groans running a tired hand through her hair.
"Practice makes perfect. And I want perfect." I smirk sitting up slowly, rubbing my eyes.
She rubs eyes sleepily pouting lightly.
"We better get going, before they realize we are gone..." I mumble looking around. She nods as I help her up, grabbing the blanket.
I walk slightly ahead of her and suddenly feels her grab my hand, intertwining our fingers. I smile slightly kissing her temple softly, as we walk along the beach back to the hotel.
We enter the same way we left silently, making our way back to our floor. Luckily no one was on the floor, as I walk her to her suite doors. We stand there staring at each other silently for a moment before we both look away giggling softly.
"Last night was nice..." she says quietly.
"It was." I whisper looking back at her. "Did you need a ride to rehearsal?"
"I'm taking a town car with Sheryl and them..." she blushes as I nod.
"So I'll see you in a bit." I whisper turning away. She takes me off guard grabbing my hand pressing her lips softly against mine. I gently press her against the door as the kiss deepens. Our bodies are pressed against each other, as the kiss becomes more fiery and passionate. It was that kind of kiss where I just wanted to rip her clothes off and make deep, passionate--
"I'll wait for you..." a voice in my head says.
I force myself to pull away gently. The only sounds now are us breathing heavily staring into each other's eyes.
I let my lips graze hers for a moment, before giving her one last soft kiss.
"I love you..." I whisper on her lips, before walking down the hall to my hotel room.
Tatiana's POV
I stay pressed up against the door, my whole body feeling weak.
Damn.
Every time I tried to bury my feelings for him, he brought them back.
And this time they were making butterflies in my stomach.
And that was just by talking to him. All night we stayed on the beach talking. It felt wonderful and...real.
It washed away my hurt towards him.
And forget about when he would hold me or kiss me...
I swallow hard as I walk into my suite shutting the door.
I suddenly feel my stomach knot up thinking about everything in the past.
I run a hand through my hair letting out a sigh.
"If you've truly let go of being hurt, what's holding you back?"
Sheryl's POV
"Hey." Ricky mumbles rubbing his face. I look up at him tiredly.
We all decided to meet at the breakfast bar in the hotel before meeting our drill sergeant for rehearsal.
"Where's Greg?" I mutter leaning against the counter.
"In bed." he snorts. "I tried to wake him up. He said he's doing the Rosa Parks movement."
I raise an eyebrow. "The what?"
"He said if Rosa didn't move out the seat, he ain't moving out the bed."
I roll my eyes letting out a chuckle. It's crazy to think I'm dating him now.
"A cappuccino and pecan muffin please..." I mumble to the girl behind the counter.
"So is Tatiana coming down?" he asks sitting in the chair next to me.
"Yeah, I went to her room but she didn't answer. Probably taking a shower or something." I shrug.
He chuckles. "Mike was gone too. All night."
My eyes widen as the girl gives me my drink and muffin.
"You don't think...?"
Maybe they made it official.
He shrugs. "I don't know. It wouldn't surprise me." he laughs. "But then again Tatiana probably ain't giving him none yet."
I giggle shaking my head as I see Greg walking through the lobby smoothly.
"Hey Rosa..." I smirk.
"Morning snowflake." Greg smirks planting a soft kiss on my lips, sitting next to me.
"Gag me." Ricky mumbles.
"Aww Ricky. You still my boo thang." Greg says batting his eyes at Ricky, who throws a napkin at him.
"I thought Tati would be here by now." I look around.
"Ohh no." Greg grins widely. "Her and Mike were getting it on in the hallway."
Our eyes widen as Greg busts out laughing.
"Him and Tati were in the hallway man. They were full on at it."
"And you watched?" I make a face.
"What?" Greg looks at us defensively. "It ain't like I brought my playboy tapes with me..."
"GREG!" I hit his arm in disgust as he laughs.
"Calm down snowflake, I'm just playing." He smirks and sits back. "I just wanted to practice those moves on you."
I feel my face heat up as I look away, hearing Greg and Ricky laugh.
"Hey!"
I turn my head seeing Tatiana running up to us, her curly hair bouncing with her movement.
"Goodmorning." She says brightly as we all raise our eyebrows staring at her. She grabs a cup of coffee and donut before sitting down next to Ricky. She takes a bite out of the glazed donut before looking up at us slowly.
"What?" she asks her mouth full.
Greg clears his throat before smirking.
"So Tati..." he drawls out slowly. "I was just wondering....."
She raises an eyebrow slowly.
"Did you get some vitamin "D" last night?"
Ricky and Greg burst into howls of laughter as I choke on my coffee.
"What the fuck, Greg?" Tatiana hisses slapping the back of his head.
"Don't try to front..." Greg snickers. "I saw you about to get some of that sexual healing in the hallway."
Tati's face turns beat red as she covers her face embarrassed.
"Ohmygawd! What happened?!" I squeal nudging her excitedly as she laughs.
"Nothing happened..." she blushes. "We just went out and he walked me to my room, I went to mine. That's it." she shrugs shyly.
I know she's downplaying it as I grin widely and squeals.
"So in all seriousness. Are y'all together or--" Greg asks raising an eyebrow.
Tatiana shrugs and blushes. "It's complicated." she whispers looking down.
"Well stop being complicated, and it'll uncomplicate things."
"I'm not being--"
"You got one life." Greg cuts her off downing some juice. "Don't waste it questioning yourself. Take a leap of faith."
"I fell the last time taking that leap, remember?" she mumbles looking down at her coffee.
"Just give it time then." Ricky nods.
"Yeah.." she sighs out wiping her mouth. "I have to use the restroom, and we can go."
"Alright, but hurry..." Ricky says getting up. "I'm not running any laps today, if we're late."
"We ain't." Greg laughs. "He's gonna be thinking about something else..." he smirks looking Tatiana up and down playfully.
Tatiana scoffs and looks at me. "And you're dating this guy?"
"I know..." I groan trying to keep in a laugh.
"I can't help that she loves this 50 shades of fine chocolate, baby..." he cheeses as I hit his side laughing.
Tatiana's POV
After using the bathroom, I come out the stall washing my hands, humming to myself softly.
I look in the mirror fixing my hair.
"God, I need to fix my edges..." I think to myself, before studying my roots.
*SLAM*
I jump looking around. No one was there.
"Hello?" I call out.
.....silence.....
I furrow my eyebrows and looks back at the mirror, applying a touch up of lipstick.
Out the corner of my eye I see the bathroom door swinging. I quickly dart to the door looking around.
The hallways were completely empty. I suddenly feel a slight chill down my spine, as I walk down them to the lobby.
"Tatiana!" Sheryl calls out walking towards me.
"Were you in the bathroom just now...?" I ask as she shakes her head.
"No, I with the guys.." she says. "The car is here."
I furrow my eyebrows as I brush hair behind my ear.
"Why?"
We walk outside to the car as I shake my head.
"No reason...just thought I heard someone." I shrug. "Probably nothing, anyway."
Or was it?
