Remenissions

Chapter 21

Lana's POV

"Lana." Matt said.

"Huh?" I said, turning to look at him.

"Your phone is ringing." He said smiling.

Well fuck, indeed it was and I reached into my purse, pulling it out.

"Hey." I said to Nick.

"Hey beautiful." He said and I couldn't help but smile. Beautiful.

"How are you?" I asked softly, turning to look out the window.

"I'm lonely Lana." He said. "Lonely without you."

I couldn't help but laugh, he was so cute. "You'll be okay."

"Hmm maybe. So what are you up to?" He asked.

"Currently we are crammed in a minibus on the way out to The Grand Canyon." And as I told him my phone started getting crackly. "Nick, the service isn't good."

"Yeah." He said, I vaguely heard him over the static. "When will you be home, Monday?"

"Yes Monday." I said raising my voice so he heard me.

I glanced at Matt and he raised his eyebrow's at me, putting his finger to his lips. "Shhhh."

I stuck my tongue out at him. "Nick........Nick." But he was gone.

"Did it drop out?" Matt asked and I nodded. "Just call him when we get back into town." And of course he was right, I would call him then. "Get excited Lana." He said smiling. "We're about to take an awesome helicopter ride."

Yeah that was easy for him to say, I didn't think there was anything awesome about it at all and I was kind of hoping I could sit it out.

But no such luck as we arrived at our destination and Matt took my hand, dragging me onto the helicopter. I didn't look, I couldn't, but Matt, Brian and Johnny certainly enjoyed themselves and I was glad, after all I'd organised this weekend for them to have fun and I was glad they were.

"Oh my god Lana." Matt screeched at me, after we were done and the other's were up in the air. "That was so fucking amazing."

"I'm glad you enjoyed it." I told him and I was, I was really glad.

"You're amazing Lana, honestly." He said hugging me and I hugged him back, but only briefly, I was still carrying out my plan of trying to get over Matt, but damn, he was making it so hard.

We had lunch and looked around for a while, but it was so hot and I was more than happy when we finally boarded the bus to head back to town. Once we arrived I would be straight into organising mode, ensuring everything was going ahead as planned and then I would spend a little time getting ready. I wasn't sure why I was bothering, I mean I could have worn a garbage bag, I was pretty sure all eye's would be on the other ladies tonight.

All the guy's headed out to the pool while I did my running around. I had to admit, I was excited and I knew Matt was going to have the time of his life and that's what I wanted.

By the time I got ready and went downstairs I was glad to see the guy's were into the swing of things. I walked into the room and looked around. The music was loud and they were all drinking. I smiled. I was glad.

I saw Matt and headed over, just as he threw back a shot. "Lana." He yelled smiling widely. "I was beginning to think you weren't coming."

"Yeah well." I said hugging him. "This thing didn't organise itself."

"No it didn't." He agreed. "Come one, let's get you a drink."

And I got a drink, and I got many more so by the time the food came out I was half way to being drunk and starving hungry and judging by the way everyone was stuffing their faces the food was good.

It was turning into a great night and I was kind of proud of myself, standing back, watching everyone having a great time, but, I thought, glancing at my watch, things were about to get better.

"Come here." I said grabbing Matt's hand and leading him to a chair that had been strategically placed.

"Did you get me a stripper?" He slurred, sitting down and winking at me.

"No." I said smirking, and watching as the girls walked in. "I got you multiple strippers."

I stepped back to watch the show and what a show it was. They were all over him, grinding, stripping, boobs in his face and I was pretty sure Matt was loving every minute of it.

"Oh this is fucking gold." Brian said laughing and I turned around to see him filming the whole thing. "This could come in handy Lana."

I smiled shaking my head. Trust Brian to film it.

The girls put on a great show and the guys were absolutely screaming by the time they'd finished, so I walked the ladies to the door and thanked them all personally, they'd done exactly what I'd asked for and after having been fondled by a bunch of drunk guy's, they'd earned every dollar I was paying them.

After the girls left I headed to the bar, grabbing another drink and looking around. Matt was still sitting in the chair with a dreamy look on his face and I walked over, smiling at him.

"Here." I said handing him a drink. "You look kind of thirsty."

"Lana, I have a thirst of a different kind." He said laughing and taking the drink. "But seriously, that was great, what a shame it had to end."

"Yeah well those girls charge by the hour." They charged a lot by the hour.

"Haha, I bet they do." He said, grabbing my hand and pulling me onto his lap. "How about you, do you charge by the hour?"

"I do it for free silly." I said giggling and then stopping because that sounded kind of bad.

"Oh you do do you?" He said smirking. "Well, show me what you've got."

I laughed, shaking my head. "I'm joking Matthew."

"I'm not." He said, looking serious. He grabbed my drink and put it on the ground next to him, then he placed his hands on my hips. "I want a lap dance Lana."

"Don't be silly." I laughed, only I wasn't laughing on the inside.

"Do it." He said again and I looked at him and he looked back at me expectantly.

Oh fuck it, he was drunk, I was getting there, so I reached down and picked up my drink, sculling it, then I looked at him, winking.

I don't know what came over me or why I did it but I gave him his lap dance, I got all up in his face, grinding on his lap while he gripped my hips and honestly I could have kept going, but Johnny whooping at me brought me back to reality.

"Enough." I said, smiling and getting off his lap. "You need to behave now Matt."

"Um." He mumbled looking at me. "Yeah."

I smiled and walked over to the bar, grabbing a big drink, I was hot, and I was hot for all the wrong reasons and I stood there drinking it, calming myself down.

A little while later the party started to die down and everyone was organising where they were going to go from here. I'd had enough so I was going to head to bed.

"Hey, wait up." Matt called as I made my way to the door. "I'm coming too."

"No." I said giving him a gentle shove. "You're supposed to go out, have fun."

"Believe me." He said smiling. "I have had a shit load of fun and I am more than ready for bed, in fact I probably should have gone to bed three Jack Daniels ago."

I laughed heading to the elevator and he followed. I don't know, he didn't look that drunk to me but Matt was always good at holding his alcohol.

We got up to the room and the first thing I did was grab a bottle of water, chugging it down. I would have a hangover in the morning but hopefully it would be bearable and water usually helped.

"You know Lana." Matt said, falling onto the couch. "Thanks for the best night, honestly."

"It was my pleasure." I said, smiling and sitting next to him. "After all it's not everyday you get married right."

"Right." He said smiling. "But really, thanks."

He leant over and hugged me, and I wrapped my arm's around him, hugging him back.

"You know." He whispered. "There's something we haven't done for a long time Lana."

"Oh and what is that?" I asked him, pulling back to look at him.

"This." He grinned and he started tickling me.

God he was right, we hadn't had a tickle fight for years, since we were teenagers and I was surprised that he remembered how ticklish I was. I was terribly ticklish and as soon as he started I went to pieces.

"No Matt." I giggled, falling back onto the couch. "Please stop."

"You have to beg for mercy." He grinned, continuing to tickle me.

"Mercy." I screamed, laughing loudly, but he didn't stop, he kept going. "Mercy." I screamed again and he laughed, looking down at me.

"Fine." He said. "I'll stop." He reached out and grabbed my hand, standing up and pulling me to my feet. "Anyway, I'm going to bed." He said.

"Me too." I said, still laughing softly.

"Goodnight." He said, reaching out and putting his arm around my waist, pulling me close.

I thought he was going to hug me only he didn't, he pressed his lips softly to mine and kissed me. I mean kissed me, this wasn't a friendly kiss, not at all.

I closed my eye's, my mind was screaming for me to stop, but my lips were responding to him and god it was wonderful, it felt so wonderful.

"Goodnight." He whispered against my lips and I watched as he turned and walked into his room.

What the fuck had happened tonight?
