Chapter 12
The traffic jam was cleared by the time they hit the road again, so they made it to the hotel in record time. Brian carried Kris' bags up for her and handed her a key.
"That's the key to your room, which is connected to mine. Na is on the other side of you, then Nick and Howie and Kevin are on the other side of me. Okay, here's home sweet home for the next two days," Brian said, as Kris opened the door to a first class suite.
"Um, wow!" Kris stood open mouthed, staring at the lavishly furnished and spacious room. "This is very cool," she cried, looking around. There was a balcony and a huge Jacuzzi and a small fridge stocked with food, which Brian warned her about.
"It costs ten times as much as going down to a snack machine, and they always find out if you took something in the long run, just ask AJ!"
"Brian, this is gorgeous, I love it! Thank you for letting me come!" Kris cried, hugging him.
"Let you? We had to beg you to come, if I remember correctly!" Brian retorted, laughing.
"Okay, you have a point there! Do you have a concert tonight?" Kris asked, looking out of the window and across the London skyline.
"Nope, we had one last night, today is our day off. We'll probably go clubbing tonight or something. Whatever the ladies wish to do," Brian mocked, bowing for her.
"How about shopping?" Kris asked with a twinkle in her eye.
"Maybe, all we have to do is arrange it!" Kris turned and inconspicuously studied Brian while he looked around. He was wearing a black wife beater and white pants, along with a black baseball cap on backwards. He looked tan and the shirt showed off his nicely muscled arms.
"Has anyone every told you how gorgeous your eyes are?" Kris asked, stepping closer. Brian's blue eyes sparkled.
"Of course, every day! Has anyone ever told you how cute you are when you're being teased and don't like it?" Brian taunted, watching her bright blue eyes blaze with emotion.
"Haha, haha," Kris muttered, then smiled as Na walked in the door.
"Na, this place is phat! You didn't tell me you were staying in a place like this!" she cried, hugging her friend. Brian smiled and decided to let them catch up, waving at Kris before disappearing into his room. The girls sat on the huge, soft bed, all smiles and giggles.
"So, what is London like, Na? I can't wait to explore!" Kris cried, glancing out the window at the foggy view of the city.
"It's very cool, and everyone thinks we have weird accents.. but the guys are hot!" Nina giggled, glancing at the door to make sure Nick wasn't nearby.
"Sounds like my kind of place," Kris murmured, thinking about hooking up with a British guy.
"Yo, Kris hello! Snap out of it!" Na laughed, trying to get her attention. "As I was saying, how's it going with Brian? Are you going out yet?" Na pried, giving her an I-Wanna-Know look.
"No, nothing official as of yet, it feels just like it did before you left.. more best friends than boyfriend, girlfriend, ya know?" Na nodded.
"So, does that mean you're still gonna be looking?" Na asked, frowning. Kris shrugged.
"I dunno, but if I do meet someone Na, it's not like I'm ever gonna meet them again. There's nothing wrong with having fun and meeting new guys.. while I'm still free." Na just looked at her, a strange expression on her face.
"Na, don't look at me like that! Am I not allowed to have fun or what? I mean, isn't that the whole reason we're here? To be with our best friends, see the world and have fun?" Kris asked, making a point. Na's face finally lit up, and she smiled.
"Just don't do anything I wouldn't do, okay?" Kris started laughing, "Hey, no problem, Ms. I-Luv-To-Party!" *
