wall like a masterpiece?'' Rikki asks.

 

  

''No, it didn't happen like that.'' I replied.

 

I felt embarassed just standing there beside her.

 

 

''You know what, I bet he had you against the head board. Shining the light on you until you saw god.'' Rikki exclaims.

 

''Rikki it wasn't like that, stoping making your dirty mind come in between the story.'' I replied.

 

''So anything else?'' Marybella asks.

 

 ''No.'' I shot back.

 

 

''Whatever, i'm just proud you and Jacob are reconnecting on another level. Cheers to that, while I have nothing.'' Rikki says, walking from the middle of the room.

 

 

''Rikki don't say that. You and Chris are great. What you guys have is better than your spent time with Jason.'' I said approaching her.

 

 

''Yeah, you made that change and proved us wrong when you got better in New York. Now look at you.'' Marybella says walking to her.

 

 

''Really?'' Rikki says.

 

''Yeah.'' Marybella says.

 

 

''Thanks,...I needed that.'' Rikki replies.

 

 

''Okay, but don't get any ideas on sleeping with Chris yet. The relationship is still fresh.'' I said.

 

''I know, it's to early anyways.'' Rikki says with a smile.

 

 

''Great, now let's do something fun for our last day here.'' I said.

 

''I'll change. I know a place.'' Rikki says, exiting Bella's hotel room.

 

 

 

The creak of the door sounds in the air as Marybella and I are left in the middle of her hotel room.

 

''So you guys did it huh?'' Marybella says softly.

 

 

''Yeah,...'' I started.

 

Marybella tilts her head. She knew I wanted to talk.

 

''But part of me wants to regret it. But part of me doesn't,...because now me and Jacob are happy.'' I said.

 

 

Marybella slowly walks towards me.

 

''Well, as long as you're happy.'' she says.

 

 

Marybella smirks at me as she exits for the bathroom. I lay down on the bed waiting for her.

 

I sighed as I felt my tense muscles relax, finally.

 

 

At least they understand now and the fight is overwith.

 

Now I just hope they won't accidently spill it to Jacob or the guys.

 

 

I just only hope, if it was the right decision that I feel regretful for.

   

-- 

 

''Drive slowly!!'' I yelled.

 

 

Rikki was going overboard on the rental car. We were driving up in Rio before we leave.

 

''Slow down, I think i'm getting car sick.'' Marybella says.

 

She sits in the back holding her mouth, the wind running over our faces.

 

 

Rikki just had to choose a car with no hood, and it had to be red.

 

''There it is!!'' Rikki yells over the loud engine.

 

 

The big jesus statue was just a block away.

 

We all stared in awe as we entered the foreign streets of Brazil. 

 

 

''Please stop!'' Marybella yelled, as Rikki came to a quick pause.

 

 

With the engine roaring in front of us, Marybella got out, balancing herself on the car sidelines.

 

 

''You guys drive, i'll walk.'' she said.

 

''Suit yourself.'' I replied.

 

 

Rikki drove off down the sandy ground, up a small village hill. The big statue just ahead of us.

 

It was probably bigger than a skyscraper. In any other words, it's was huge.

 

 

Once we reached it, we parked the rental car at a nearby tourist parking spot. 

 

''Wow, it's so beautiful.'' Rikki says, as she shuts the door behind herself.

 

''I know.'' I said taking off my sunglasses.

 

 

The sun had been hidden behind the clouds, but it was still sunny outside.

 

And just before heading up to follow a tour guide, I hear stumbling come from behind.

 

 

''So how was the walk up?'' Rikki turned to Marybella.

 

''Fine, but better than lasting another moment in that car.'' Marybella said balancing herself up next to us.

 

''Great, now let's go up and take pictures.'' I replied.

 

 

We cling arm in arms, all the way up following the tour guide.

 

And after several things to learn from fit, we finally stand on flat gravel ground below it.

 

 

Staring up in awe of the closeness with the big statue, it was one of the spots where most tourists visit.

 

People here worshipped this statue, and now I see why tourists get wayy into it.

 

 

I was glad Rikki came up with the idea to see one more tourist site. Now we've seen and done mostly everything in Brazil.

 

 

''Would you look at that.'' Rikki says.

 

''Let's take a picture.'' I suggested.

 

 

We all shuffle ourselves in front of my camera. I put my finger near the button to take a shot.

 

''Everyone smile.'' I said.

 

 

Our big smiles spread across our face before the flash blinds us.

 

''Do I look good?'' Marybella asked.

 

 

I looked to the picture from the camera.

 

''Yes, we all look great.'' I replied.

 

 

I had already planned to print it once we go back home, and put it in a collage for a new album book of pictures.

 

This would be a great picture to look back on.

 

 

''Hey, I think I saw an ice cream vender around here. I'll get us popsicles.'' Rikki exclaimed.

 

''Okay,'' I replied to her.

 

 

Rikki rushes over, as me and Marybella continue looking at the big statue above us.

 

And on the dusty ground of the village nearby, we both look around as more tourists come to take pictures.

 

 

In just a minute, Rikki comes back with 3 popsicles, all different colors.

 

A smile on her face as she approaches us.

 

 

''Here ya go.'' she said.

 

 

Rikki handed me an orange popsicle and Marybella yellow, while Rikki took red.

 

 

''So what should we do next?'' I asked.

 

''Why don't we drive back to the hotel, lunch is only 6 minutes from now. Jacob and the guys must be back there by then.'' Rikki said.

 

''Just the thought of food makes me sick.'' Marybella says.

 

 

I smiled for second as we walk back to the rental car.

 

  

''Elle, can you sit with me in the back?'' Marybella says approaching the car.

 

''Why? You can sit in the front if you want.'' I replied.

 

''In the death seat?!'' she shot back.

 

 

"You're overexaggerating." I said.

 

''Look, I know you don't like fast driving especially near the end of cliffs and hills or roads, but Elle,... she's not gonna stop whining unless you do it.'' Rikki interuppted.

 

 

I looked to Marybella who had on her puppy dog eyes, I knew she was scared but it'd be better than hearing her whine the whole time for Rikki to slow down.

 

 Better to save my ears for a few minutes.

 

 

''Fine.'' I replied.

 

 

She claps her hands happily, and we drive back to the hotel.

 

And with Rikki on the verge of driving us into the ocean, she drove more faster on the roads than usual.

 

''Rikki stop!'' I yelled in excitement.

 

 

Rikki turns back with a smile on her face. She thought this was funny. And all I could hear was screaming from Marybella.

 

I clinged to Marybella's arm as I smiled, watching the boats on the water below as we drove past.

 

 

Marybella slowly stops screaming.

 

Then all of the sudden started laughing, she was laughing at herself. 

 

 

Just the 3 of us laughing and driving a back to the hotel.

 

Nothing but smiles on our faces.

  

 

 

When we arrived back to the hotel, into the cool air, I take off my sunglasses as the sun shines inside from outdoors.

 

 

The lunch hall was filling up, we gotta get in as fast as possible.

 

 

''Do you think the guys forgot about lunch?'' Rikki asked.

 

''No, it'll be just wait a minute. And if they don't come, let's eat.'' I said.

 

 

Just before even sitting down at our usual table, we see Jacob, Mark and Chris coming in.

 

Big smiles on their face as they saw us. I smiled at the sight of Jacob walking over.

 

 

''Hey, we were wondering where you guys were.'' Rikki says to Chris, who takes a seat next to her.

 

''Just a little late, we got caught in traffic.'' Chris replied, then planting a kiss on her cheek.

 

 

Jacob takes a seat next to me on the right, following Mark sitting next to Marybella who's on my left.

 

While Chris and Rikki are across from each of us.

 

 

''So let's get lunch, i'm starving.'' Rikki said.

 

 

I'm the first to get up from the table, everyone else follows behind me.

 

There were all kinds of food served for lunch.

 

I was eager to taste everything.

 

 

''Elle,...slow down, I think you're gonna gain a lot weight of vacation.'' Rikki said.

 

 

I smiled as I grabbed a bowl of fruit to put on my plate. I didn't care, tropical food can make anyone love eating more than before.

 

 

We all got our plates full and sat back down at our table.

 

 

''So what happened while me and the girls were at the tourist sites?'' Rikki asked the guys.

 

''We took a quick tour around the country side of Brazil. It was fun until Mark got stuck in a mud puddle while on our way back from a tropical slide.'' Chris answers.

 

''Really, how did you manage to keep your clothes clean?'' Marybella said to Mark.

 

 

''I kind of bought new ones.'' Mark replied. He chuckles.

 

''You what?'' Marybella said abrupt.

 

 

She attempted to throw a look and a smack to Mark's arm, but got held up by his response.

 

''My old clothes were ruined and couldn't be washed, I just hoped you wouldn't notice.'' he replied.

 

 

A clear anger glowed from Marybella. She was mad, but took a deep breath.

 

''I'm going to kill you when we get home.'' she said jokingly.

 

 

''And what about you?'' I asked Jacob.

 

He turns his attention to me from his mouthful of bread.

 

He smiles a sheepish smirk then swallows to answer me.

 

 

''Unlike these guys, I was the responsible one. I made sure we got back in time for lunch. These fools kept trying to persuade me to stay longer.'' Jacob points to Chris and Mark.

 

''What, guys can't have fun on vacation?'' Mark replied.

 

 

I smile as Jacob puts an arm around me. 

 

''And you Chris?'' I said.

 

I take my drink in a glass cup towards my lips as I waited for his answer.

 

 

He looks up from Rikki to me. 

 

''Let's just be glad you guys are here right now, instead of flying off to Tierra del Fugeo on a private jet.'' Chris says with a smile.

 

He turns back to Rikki, as my eyes look back down to my half empty plate of food.

 

 

Before I can take a bite of my pineapple bits, i'm pulled by my left arm from the table.

 

I look to Jacob, he gets me to my feet.

 

 

''Hey what's up?'' I said to him.

 

''Sorry, I need to talk with you.'' he replies.

 

 

He pulls me from the table, out towards the beach patio entrance.

 

As soon as we're outside, I look back to the gang sitting at our table watching us leave.

 

 

 

''What did you want to talk about?'' I ask, when Jacob let's go of my arm.

 

 

Instead of saying a word, he leans in to kiss me on the lips.

 

It wasn't long before my hands trail up his neck, we deepend the kiss breiflt before he let's go.

 

 

 His lips leave mine, i look back into his eyes.

 

''You missed me?'' I ask.

 

''I missed you.'' he replied with a smile.

 

 

''You pulled me from lunch to kiss me, and tell me how much you miss me?'' I replied with a smile.

 

''I wanna spend time with you later today. Before we head home and forget about competition for the rest of the year.'' he says.

 

 

''I'd like that.'' I reply.

 

''Hey, you guys?'' yelled Marybella from inside.

 

 

 

We both turned our heads back inside to see their smiling faces. I looked away back to Jacob.

 

I lean in to whisper in his ear.

 

 

''Shall we say, before dinner?'' I said.

 

''Perfect.'' he said back softly.

 

 

We go back in hand and hand with smiles and we continued on with lunch.

 

 

I'm glad we got to stay another day, cause now we can all be happy together.

 

-- 

 

''Just close your eyes.'' Jacob says.

 

 

I smile as i'm led with his hands on a soft sandy ground. We were on the beach.

 

''Where are you taking me?'' I asked, still smiling.

 

''Just keep them closed.'' he said.

 

 

I slightly trip over, but he catches me. He had surprised me with a new black dress and a note to meet him near the beach.

  

 

''Okay, open your eyes.'' he says.

 

 

I open my eyes, finally, to the beautiful sunset view ahead. A candlelit table was nearby.

 

My smile grew wider. I was dressed up for a date on the beach.

 

 

We hadn't been on a date in a while.

 

And now was just a good time.

 

 

''You didn't have to.'' I finally said.

 

 

''No, I did it because we at least deserve on on vacation.'' Jacob reassures.

 

I smile as he pulls me to the table.

 

This was just what I needed.

 

 

He motions for me to sit down.
