chapter eighteen

Mario's house is just amazing! Natalie was the first to welcome us in as she esscorted us to the pool area. When we walked out on the deck we went out seperate ways. The girls kept offering me something to drink, but sadly I had to decline everytime. I knew Kris would be drinking and I would be the DD, for anyone that needed it. Around 1 am the guys started to dissperse. Kris came up and gave me the keys, asked if I would drive Geno and Oksana home before taking him home. After we dropped them off I stopped at the nearest store to pick up so water and Aspirin for Kristopher before he dosed off. I pulled up to his house and helped him inside.

"Are you going to be okay?"

"Yeah, Go stay with the girls tonight."

"Call me if you need anything at anytime. I will be over here as fast as I can."

"Alright, bye."

"Bye."

I locked the doors and turned on the alarm system before heading out the door. I switched over to my truck, leaving his for him if he needed it. I arrived at the hotel a little around 2am. The only ones there were Kylee and Max. I walked into my room slipped on a pair of shorts and a tank top before crawling into bed.

Kris POV

I woke up around 3:30am, looked around the room but she wasnt there. I tried really hard to remember what had happened. Then it came to me, She had gone to the hotel. I got up grabbed my phone, a water, and my keys before heading to the truck. At the hotel I knocked on the door and instead of her or one of the girls answering it was Max.

"What are you doing here man?"
"Ciera is here right?"

"Yeah. In her room."

"Okay then."

I walked back and slowly opened the doortrying not to wake her up. I slipped off my shoes, jeans, and shirt then climbed in on the other side of the bed. When I wrapped my arms around her she began to stir.

"damm." I mumbled.

"Kris?" She whipped her eyes.

"I'm sorry for waking you up. I woke up and couldnt go back to sleep."

"It is okay."

"Alright, I love you."

"I love you to Kris."

We both drifted of to sleep.

Kris was woken up to Max staring at them, he seemed very unsure of how Kris got there, he just stared till one of them decided to talk.

"What?" Kris said.

"When you get here?"

"Like 4am. You let me in!"

"I did?"

"Yeah?"

"Oh shit?"

"what?"

"I dont even remember that."

"Well go back to Kylee, Im trying to sleep."

"Alright."

Max walked back out of the room very confused when Ciera woke up.
"Kristopher?" She looked at him confused.

"Yes."

"Why did you decide to come over last night?"

"I dont know. I couldnt sleep. I wanted to be with you."

"Why didnt you just have me stay?"

"I dont know."

"I cant believe you drove here."

"Why?"

"You were out of it last night."

"Yeah, but the aspirin and water helped. An then I slept for like a hour. I was fine."

"Oh Okay."

"So do you remember when you got here?"

"Yeah."

"So you remember saying I love you?"

"yes. Which reminds me.. I love you." Kris smiled.

"hahah I love you to Kristopher." She kissed him. "Im going to get a shower."

"Can I join?" He asked.

"umm I dont know." She gave him a seductive look.

"I take that as a yes." He followed her into the bathroom.

Max had just woke up Kylee when he crawled back into bed.

"what are you doing up?"

"I went to get a water, and saw Kris's keys laying on the counter, So i walked back to Ciera's room. An sure enough there was Kris."

"When did he get here?"

"He said I let him in around 4am."

"Wow. An you dont remember?"

"No not at all."

"What were you even doing up at four?"

"I honestly couldnt tell you." he laughed. "So you up for breakfast?"

"Yeah. Sounds great." She smiled.

"Deluca's?"

"Never been."

"Really? Well Im going to go see if Kris is still up an see if they want to join us."

"Okay. Im going to jump in the shower."

"Awhh wait for me." Max cried. "We have to save water for the animals."

"Better hurry up then."

He took off towards the back room.

"Kris?"

He heard the shower.

He grabbed the note pad next to the bed, and wrote 'Deluca's? half hour'. Max pressed the sticky part against the TV and ran back to Kylee's room.

chapter 2.

"Oh My Gosh! Yes I would love to do it. It would be a awesome oppertunity."
"Alright then. I was thinking next Saturday you could could come up and do it."
"Yeah. that sounds fine."
"The 3 girls you modeled with before are going to be coming up to."
"O okay sounds good. I cant wait, I will see you next Saturday."
As i hung up the phone I directly pulled up my contacts and 4-wayd with Kels, Jess, And Ky.
"Hey"- Kelsey
"What's up?"- Jessica
"Hey Girls."-Kylee
"So everyone else is doing the modeling thing right?" i asked.
"yes."
"yeah."defidently"
"Alrighty well do you guys want to ride up with me?"
"ROAD TRIP!!!" Kelsey yelled.
"Slumber party to?" Kylee asked.
"If you want" I added.
"friday night, Who's house?" Jessica asked.
"how about mine Friday and then someone else's Saturday Night?" I asked
"sounds good to me." jess replied.
"Me two" Kels an Ky added.

When i hung up the one I ran downstairs to my family what i was just told and are plans.
Next thing i knew Saturday was fast approaching. It was thursday my mom,sister, nephew and I went out for the day. The first thing that we did was go to the phone store.
"Why are we here?"
" we are proud of your hard work and we are letting you get a new phone." my mom said.
"awesome. but i just got a phone about 3 or 4 months ago." Even though it was trashed i still didnt mind.
"Well pick what ever you want." my sister encouraged.
i had my eye on the Sidekick LX since it came out, I asked the sales woman if she had one that was blue instock. She went back to check and came back out with a box. They had the blue one but luckily i got the last one. They Transfeered all my information into my new phone and we left for the rest of are day.

Friday afternoon followed fast after. It had seemed like it was still Thursday when i got home form tanning and the gym. The girls and I had agreed to stay at my house tonight so we could all head up together, as i waited for there arrival I poked around with my new phone still not able to slide it properly, I finally got it when the doorbell rang. The girls walked in, each with a big bag of luggage.
"What did you guys all bring?"
"EVERYTHING!"they replied.
"I can tell, Let me get someone to help you with that."
When we reached my room I apoligized for the mess hadnt really had time to clean up a little. That night had to be one of the most fun sleepovers i had ever had. We watched the Penguins crush the Redwings and win the stanley cup. We were all fans of the Pens. An went to most of there games. We made fun of everything we could and laughed about everything each other did. It was weird seeing that we had only known each other for about 3 weeks, but it was like we were supposed to be sisters or something.

Saturday morning we were up at 5am getting ready, 4girls, 3 showers, there was bound to be a problem. It was around 6:25 when we were ready to go. I left a note by my moms bed, and told my father goodbye. We hit Star bucks along the way and were about a half hour out at 7:45. The mall didnt open till 8:30 for employee's so we thought we were well on are way.

Outside the mall there were security gaurds at every door. They wouldnt let us in for anything,
"The mall is closed today for anyone not associated with the Pittsburgh Penguins." one man told us.
"but we are modeling for Vanity here today." Ky told him.
"yeah i'll believe that. what kind of store has real models?" he snickered.
"Yeah you four are just trying to met the guys." another sniped.
"Honest to god, we had no clue. Yes i am a fan but no i am not here to see them." I replied.
We tried everything we had to get in. Even tried another door but found the same answer at everyone. We were supposed to met Trisha at 8:45. Everyone searched for her number, but no one had kept it, she didnt end up calling us till 9:30 asking frantically where we ere. The gaurds out front were astonished when they had been told that we werent lying to them. They told us they'd be up to see if we were really modeling. W shrugged and walked in with bright smiles on are faces. On the way Kels had asked about the hole Penguins thing.
"They seriously closed the mall today?"
"Yes, i hadnt known till last night or i would have scheduled you for another day. But hell you guys will be able to maybe met some of the guys, and show off a little to." Trisha reinsured us.

Inside she had already had are outfits that we would be wearing. I had about 6 that i had to change in to everyo once in a while. She didnt care which one we wore. As long as we had the right accessories and mathced are partner we were fine.
