| Chapter Seven "So are you going to come with us today?" Joey asked putting his chin on my shoulder and pouting. "Nah, I think I'm gonna do some shopping maybe. Start my vacation on a positive note." "Well that sounds like a good idea hon. Will you go out to dinner with us later at least?" "I don't know, I look terrible with all the bruises, room service would be ok though." "Tiff you look fine, but whatever you want. Room service it is." Joey sighed hugging me. "Thanks, but you guys can go out, I don't want to keep you here because I don't want to go out." "No it's fine." They all said at once and then cracked up laughing. The guys left about an hour later and I set off to explore the city. It had been years since I'd gone anywhere by myself. It was extremely intimidating and at the same time exhilarating. I went to all the shops that I remembered, the shops with the sexy clothes that Mark had never let me wear. I was hardly allowed to show skin at all when I was with him. Needless to say there were a lot of shorts, tank tops, and baby tees in my bags. I was so excited to show the guys. I looked at my watch and was shocked to see that it was already 5 o'clock! I got a cab as quick as I could and headed back to the hotel. The guys were all standing around in the hallway when I stepped off of the elevator. "Tiff, there you are. We were getting worried." JC said hugging me. "I'm fine, I lost track of time. It was worth it though. I forgot how much I love this city. There is no where in the world that I could shop like this." I said holding up several bags. Joey grabbed a couple from me as did JC and we headed down to my room laughing. As soon as we'd put the bags down Joey started digging through them. Holding up a halter top and shorts his eyes got big. "Tell me you aren't going to wear this." "Why not?" I asked snatching it out of his hand and shoving it back into the bag. "I'm ready for a new look ok?" "I know you don't think you are going to wear this!" He exclaimed again holding up a two piece bathing suit. "Damnit Joe, you nosy ass. Stay out of my bags." I said once again grabbing it out of his hand and putting it in a bag. "So when are we eating?" "Way to change the subject Tiff." JC laughed. I looked in his direction and he had one of my tops tied around his neck and was prancing around. "What are you doing?" I said trying not to laugh. "I think I'm going to go and give the guys a sneak preview." He laughed walking out into the hallway. "How do you guys all survive each other?" I laughed sitting and putting my head in my hands. "Oh come on Tiff, model for us." Joey said holding up a new bra I had bought. "That is it you are so dead." I yelled jumping up and chasing him into the hallway. He ran into his room and slammed the door. Thinking quickly I knocked on the next door over. Chris opened it, looking guilty as hell. |
