Candy's POV
"Candy come on, get uuuuup!" Leana whined for the fiftith time into my bunk.
"Leana, we are stuck on this bus for another day, that means im going to sleep." I mumbled into my pillow.
"You're no fun." She said as I heard her get up and leave. I sighed peacefully as I would finally get some peace and quiet. I thought wrong. Someone had smacked the side of my face as they walked by. I stuck my head outside of my bunk to see who smacked me.
"What the fuck?!" I yelled half awake half asleep.
"It's time to get up." Jimmy said casually walking past me towards the front of the bus.
"Dick" I yelled back at him as I climbed out of my bunk and stretched. I made my way into the backroom to see Zacky sitting by himself with an Xbox controller in his hand.
"What you playing, Zacky?" I asked plopping down next to him.
"Call of Duty" He mumbled not taking his eyes off the screen. I watched for a minute before his player died.
"God dammit!" he yelled annoyed. "I can't get past this fucking part!" he said moving forward to lay his arms on his knees as he started over.
"Let me try." I said moving my arm out to take the controller.
"No" he said moving the controller out of my reach.
"Dude, let me see it." I said reaching to grab the controller, but he moved it away again.
"Zack!" I half yelled half laughed.
"You get next turn. I promise." He said getting serious and starting the game.
"Fine." I mumbled watching him play. I waited desperately for him to die and once he did I jumped from my seat and grabbed the controller.
"Ha!" I said sticking my tongue out at him.
"I bet you can't get past it." Zack chuckled as I sat back down next to him. Twenty minutes later I had passed the part he was stuck on and he was speechless.
"I'm the fucking master commander!" I yelled giggling as Zack held his mouth open.
"Yeah, yeah." Zack said snatching the controller out of my hands. I laughed and watched as he moved forward into the game. Each time we died we would give the other person a turn to play.
"God Dammit!" I yelled almost throwing the controller out the window as I died again.
"My turn." Zack said grabbing the controller. We were about an hour into the game and I was pretty sure we would be doing this all night, not that I was complaining.
Jimmy's POV
"What the hell are they doing back there?" I asked talking about Zack and Candy in the back room. They have been back there for hours screaming at the TV.
"I think they're playing Call of Duty, or something." Johnny said
"Oh sweet, I wanna join." I said throwing my cards on the table and standing up.
"Oh no no, no, no, no." Valary whispered jumping in front of me blocking me from the door that lead into the back room.
I looked at her confused than back to the table where everyone else sat.
"Um, why the fuck not?" I asked completely confused
"I'm trying to be a kickass friend and play matchmaker. So, no one is going into that room." Val said sternly poking me in the chest.
"Hmph, Candy and Zack?" I pondered stepping towards the door just so I could see inside, but they couldn't see me. A smile instantly crept onto my face at the sight before me. Candy and Zack were on the floor leaning against the couch in front of the TV. Candy sat between Zack's legs as she leaned against his back and he leaned against the couch. Candy currently had the controller and had her tongue sticking out just like it always is when she plays video games. I watched as Zack's arms wrapped around her waist and he hugged her to his chest. She didn't seemed fazed by his affection towards her. She accepted it and let the back of her head lean against his shoulder.
"I give up." Candy mumbled as she had died once again.
"Don't be a quitter, Shrimp." Zack said removing his hands from her waist to grab the controller. Within minutes of Zack holding the controller he had passed the part that Candy was stuck on. I swear the smile on Candy's face was priceless. Her big, toothy smile appeared on her face. That's when you knew Candy was genuinely happy, her big beautiful smile showed.
"Look at her." I whispered over to Val as we both spied on Candy and Zack.
"I know!" She whispered excitedly. "It's working." We both smiled at each other and went back to the table to finish our card game.
Candy's POV
1:30am
I let out a big yawn as I layed my head back on Zack's shoulder. We have been sitting in the same position for hours and I don't think either of us were moving any time soon. I let Zack take control of the game about an hour ago because I had grown too tired to keep playing. So, I just sat leaning against him and watched him play. I would be lying if I said it wasn't cute whenever he died he silently cursed to himself, or when he got really frustrated he would nuzzle his face into my shoulder before starting the game over. This, right here, right now, felt right. I felt different sitting here in Zack's arms, and I liked it. Questions sat in the back of my mind that I was dying to ask him. Questions like: "What is this?" or "Do you have feelings for me?". I felt like if I had these answers than my mind would be able to clear up. I would know the way I felt truly and not be a confused mess. I'm terrified to know what he truly thinks or feels. For all I know he could be taking this as a friendly gesture or whatever. It just didn't seem possible for him to have feelings for me or for ME to have feelings for HIM. Is it really that crazy or am I just over thinking it? I let out a sigh as my own thoughts were frustrating me.
"You okay?" Zack asked pausing the came to look down at me.
I nodded. "Yeah, I'm good." Is said smiling up at him.
"Good, I honestly can't believe we've played Call of Duty all day." Zack said stretching his arms over his head and letting out a yawn.
"Me neither." I said leaning my head back on his chest. "My eyes might fall out of my head." I laughed rubbing them. Zack laughed too wrapping his arms around my waist and softly hugging me. I smiled.
"You're warm." I whispered closing my eyes as I nuzzled myself into him more. I felt his chest vibrate as he laughed.
"Thanks, but as much as I enjoy sitting here with you. We both should probably go to bed if we are going to have any energy for tomorrow's show." Zack said rubbing my arms.
I groaned standing up immediately feeling the warmth disappear. I watched as Zack turned the TV off making the whole room go dark. I heard him behind me as I made our way to where all the bunks were. Zack had the bottom bunk on the right side and I had the bunk right above him. We both stood in front of each other a bit awkward for a bit before he finally saying "I'll see you in the morning." to which I just nodded as he climbed into his bunk. I silently sighed to myself feeling a bit disappointed for what, I'm not quite sure as I climbed into my bunk to get some sleep.
