my family.

 

 

''Time's up!!'' yelled the announcer.

 

 

My head bounces back from my thoughts. All that thinking took up the time Walt had been typing.

 

Walt sets his fingers down from the keyboard, then sighs happily.

 

 

He turns his head to me smiling. I smile back at the impressive job he's done.

 

A lot of writing. And better than mine. 

 

 

 

''Well done.'' I replied.

 

His smile gets bigger as the announcer interuppts.

 

''Thank you everyone and the competitors that joined the Annual Magazine Company Face Off's. We are glad to have you all qualify and attend this year. Hopefully to see you come back next year. We will annouce the winners in a few minutes, so all writers please exit the stage and find your seats.'' said the announcer.

 

 

I walk down the stairs to find a sit next to Lauren.

 

Marcus runs up before I can sit down. His huge embrace makes me smile on instinct.

 

What was he doing?

 

 

It was hard to say. I finally felt happy around Marcus for once.

 

 

''Outstanding job. I saw you struggle for a moment there but you did it. And FARELLE is going to win because you.'' he said, pulling away.

 

''Thanks.'' I replied.

 

 

He finds his seat again, as Sara and Walt pass by going back to the rows of interns.

 

 

''Hey!'' I called out to them.

 

They both turn to my attention. A smile spreads across my face.

 

''Great job, we couldn't have done this without you Sara. Congratulations.'' I say.

 

 

I start clapping as Lauren joins along. And pretty much, our whole company was clapping.

 

She did this for us and for her own good.

 

She deserves to be noticed for her hard work.

 

 

She smiles as she mouths thank you then heads back to her seat.

 

Following behind her, Walt who gives me a thumbs up.

 

I give him a thumbs up as I head to my seat just in time.

 

 

''Alright we have our 3 winners for competition this year. 1st place, gets to have a special sponsered surprise happen right at their magazine company in the coming year. So be prepared. And the company gets to come to competition free next year with no qualfications.'' the announcer says.

 

 

The crowd and I clap at the 1st place surprise.

 

''And 2nd place, get to cruise to the carribbean next year before competition. To relax and get all free 7 nights here in Brazil, at what ever hotel of they choose. And 2nd place, gets a special surprise for their company that following next year.'' the announcer says.

 

 

''And lastly, 3rd place....,get to choose whether to compete next year or come back to Brazil during break for an all expense paid trip to Atlantis for an exclusive interview to be shown world wide.'' the announcer says.

 

 

All the prizes sounded so good, but we don't know who's going to win.

 

It could be any magazine company.

 

 

I sat in my chair with anticipation, waiting patiently.

 

 

''We have our 3rd winner, and it's.....XPLOSIVE magazine.'' said the announcer.

 

 

All claps went around.

 

I was proud of XPLOSIVE magazine. 

 

They did well during competition. Even after they go disqualified sooner than later.

 

 

They deserved it.

 

 

 

''And next up we have our 2nd winner,.......KARL magazine.''

 

 

I was at an uttermost suprise. I was so happy for Ryan and Jeff since they work at KARL.

 

 

Even for an ally company, it's always good to support each other.

 

I could see the smile on Ryan's face as he takes the trophy and raises it to the ceiling for everyone to see.

 

Typical Ryan.

 

 

''And lastly, we have our 1st place winner. Which is a tie breaker between LIMIT magazine and FARELLE magazine. A close one eh?'' said the announcer.

 

''Just tell us who won?'' someone exclaimed to the announcer.

 

 

I sat back nervous for a moment, this was it.

 

Our whole success put before us.

 

 

 

''....FARELLE magazine.'' the announcer said.

 

The crowd goes wild. I've never seen so much happiness in myself before.

 

Even Lauren herself, took it well when people started hollering.

 

 

We had actually won. 

 

 

''We did it!'' yelled Lauren.

 

 

I could see the excitement in her face. The proud faces of workers in our company. I saw a glimpse of LIMIT magazine leave the celebration early.

 

Their angry faces with botox showed wrinkles as they disappeared.

 

 

Jacob, Rikki and Marybella approach me in the first row. Their proud faces make me think how hard i've come to be and stay with FARELLE.

 

I was glad I had pushed myself to experience this moment for my life.

 

 

Streamers blew up as the loud celebratoin grew. Crowds of FARELLE workers surrounded the trophy as Lauren lauched it in the air to show victory.

 

 

A smile came across my face.

 

For the first time, I did something I thought wasn't possible. And it did become possible.

 

 

''To the hotel. Party's on me!!'' Lauren yelled.

 

She' was picked up in the air as we continued to bathe in the feeling of winning the trophy.

 

 

I'm suddenly grabbed by the attention of hands on my arms.

 

''You did a good job.'' a soft whisper entered my ear.

 

 

I turned to see Jacob in my grasp, as the crowd continues to flee out the big ballroom.

 

We exit out to the parking lot where the buses are, to take us back.

 

 

''Attention!!'' Lauren yelled.

 

''Since it's a celebration, everyone rides which ever bus you want!!'' she exclaimed.

 

 

Everyone cheers as the buses open their doors and people get on different ones with their friends.

 

I enter the bus, pulling Jacob behind me.

 

 

Rikki joins her new boyfriend in his car. Going to the hotel before any of us.

 

Marybella and Mark join our bus afterwards.

 

--

  

The ride back was a relief. Everyone was in relief as we remind ourselves about the victory.

 

Never in my life, would I thought we would win. Or even make it back to win next year.

 

I'm glad I decided to get myself together and finish what I had started.

 

 

We won and now things can finally go back to normal.

 

 

''3 cheers for FARELLE!'' Lauren yelled.

 

Everyone continues to cheer as we rode back to the hotel.

 

 

''We won.'' I reassured Jacob.

 

''You did it. If it wasn't for you, we wouldn't have made it this year.'' Jacob replies.

 

 

''Alright everyone. Now when we get back, get ready for the party. 2 hours. Then head down to the dinner hall.'' Lauren announces.

 

 

Lauren was all about the trophy.

 

She wanted to rub it in everyone's face that we won.

 

And to be honest, me too.

 

 

 

Me and Jacob enter the hotel as the others make way for the dinner hall early. I was exhausted and walked to the elevators.

 

 

Jacob pulls my arm for me to stop and I turn around to see his expression.

 

''Are we going to party later on?'' he asks.

 

 

I turn to the crowd of cheers and drinks being passed around.

 

A slight smile and laugh slips out from me.

 

 

''After vacationing and working this week,...i'm going to get a good's night rest.'' I replied.

 

I manuver myself out of his grip, as I make my way for the elevator.

 

He inches behind. Wrapping his hand around mine.

 

  

A smile appears on my face again. I was truly happy.

 

Competition was over and now I can rest a for a little while.

  

 

 

Once we enter our hotel room, I change into comfortable clothes.

 

No more jeans or nice shirts for the rest of the trip.

 

 

I slip into a comfortable black t-shirt and my blue shorts.

 

My hair was still perfect from before, as I brush my fingers through the tangles.

 

 

I flop onto the bed. Yhe sunset going down outside leaves a beautiful reflection in the room.

 

 

 

My eyes close for a breif second, before a pair of limbs circle me.

 

I snap my eyes open to see Jacob sprawled on his side of the bed.

 

 

The sun finally goes down as a wave of light blue strays into the room.

 

The room is in utter complete silence.

 

 

I could hear the silent breathing of Jacob as I lay more comfortably.

 

 

After a few mintues, I feel fingers linger around my face.

 

My eyes were still shut. I could imagine it, it was Jacob.

 

 

His fingers circle my hair, pushing back the hairs near my forehead.

 

I smile in return.

 

It felt relaxing, just me and Jacob for once.

 

 

It's been a while since we had peace and quiet together.

 

 

All this business about competition and he was there for me. And supporting me even after the events of this year.

 

 

l didn't know what i'd do without him.

 

 

I open my eyes slightly to see his eyes shine back into mine.

 

He was beautiful just laying there. The room diming down from the light outside every 5 minutes.

 

 

I continue to stare. Us two, just laying there.

 

 

''No matter what people say about you, you'll always work hard. They'll never know what you've been through.'' Jacob says.

 

 

My head slowly rises at his words. I glare back in response.

 

''Yeah, but you were there when my success grew. And I failed to be there for you.'' I replied.

 

''Shhh...'' he replied.

 

 

He brushes my hair back as I look back into his eyes.

 

''It's doesn't matter anymore. Now we can finally have peace, when we get back home. But for now,...let's do something else.'' Jacob says.

 

''What?'' I say.

 

 

Jacob slowly leans, in inching away from his side of the bed.

 

I'm holding onto the pillow underneath my head. His face nears mine as I stare back into his eyes.

 

 

Soulful and soft.

 

 

''I know we discussed this before, but I think we'd better talk about it again.'' he says.

 

''About what?'' I reply softly.

 

''Us...and these sheets.'' he replied.

 

 

I was baffled by his response. I didn't know what he meant.

 

He leans in to plant a kiss on my lips.

 

I look back in suprise as he withdraws to look at me.

 

 

I pull his head back to me.

 

I hadn't noticed how warm his body was. Or his breath.

 

 

Our lips reconnect again.

 

I grab his collar to pull him closer. He leans in till our noses touch each other.

 

 

Our intense breathes hype up the kiss, our lips clink together like water falling from a high cliff.

 

 

I pull back to look into his eyes. His convincing eyes tell me to continue.

 

I smile slightly, then reconnect our lips. His hands reaches up to my neck to pull me closer to his face.

 

 

We lock together as we kiss. I'd forgotten how long it's been since we've kissed passionately.

 

Ever since that night of the celebration dinner, i've been wondering when we'd have the moment again.

 

 

Jacob deepens the kiss, as I lay, wanting more.

 

Clear of the lust that we felt, were drawn to each other.

 

 

 

The room was completely dark, the sun was gone and it was basically night.

 

Our breathing, in sync, becomes the only thing to distract us as we stare into each other's eyes.

 

Jacob leans in to look at my face in depth from the shadow.

 

 

Lights from outside bloom at our window. It was clear what he wanted, what I wanted.

 

 

 

Jacob swopes back in to kiss me. This time moving his body towards me.

 

I lay on my side as his hands graze my thigh.

 

My right leg shifts up to his body, as his hands leaves goosebumps on my untouched skin. His happy face makes him smile.

 

 

He continues to smile as I rekindle our kiss and I began smiling too.

 

But our lips overlap on each other, making me stop.

 

The kiss gets more intense as he continues to draw his body close to mine. His head rises to push my right leg to his waist as I layed silenly.

 

 

 

He motions to get on top, and I nod my head. Our lips were still connected as we move on the bed.

 

The partially awkward moment passes as I lay flat on my back.

 

 

His eyes glare into mine longingly. Clearly we haven't discussed moments like this.

 

But it was a new try.

 

He leans in again, to crane the small of my back to reach him. I smile as his lips meet mine.

 

Then his hands snake up to my neck.

 

 

My weak spot.

 

 

I was in utter shock, but surprising pleased.

 

 

It was like Jacob didn't have to know where to kiss me, he knew what he was doing.

 

And I liked it.

 

He pulls me up as my hair flows down. My legs slightly wrap around his waist, I was panned up on his lap.

 

 

He sits on his legs as I stare into his eyes, it was complete lust he felt.

 

 

Jacob takes a look at my body, all in it's glory. His hands graze up and down my waist. I watch his eyes loom over me.

 

I stay still as we make eye contact.

 

 

''Do you want to do this?'' he asks.

 

 

Crap. I
