Was everything okay? No it wasn’t okay. Arthur’s blue eyes drifted toward Eva when she put her hand on his. It was so comforting, but at the same time it wouldn’t be enough to distract Arthur from what was on his mine. No, it wasn’t okay! It felt as if every little thing in his life was starting to crumble around him because he focused so much on Eva. His father was right, he never acted out like this before in regard to any missions prior to him meeting Eva. His friend group was never self-imploding like this before. Where Terrance was usually the voice of reason, Arthur was always the one to physically step up to end conflict. And now, Alex’s spirit was wavering, Jacob and Terrance are almost like cats and dogs these days, and now hew knew that Terrance was in some serious trouble with the Patrones. Would none of this happen if he hadn’t gotten so close to Eva so quickly? No, he didn’t want to think about a what if involving not having Eva by his side. She mentioned Terrance and Arthur sighed louder. “Yeah.”

He wasn’t necessarily lying. He was worried about Terrance and what was going to happen to him in regards to the Patrone family. Getting out of the car and heading to campus, Arthur held onto Eva’s hand a little tighter than usual, his mind still spinning over the thoughts of Evelyn. He could feel something heavy sitting in his throat, and clawing it’s way to his mouth. He wanted to ask Eva, how would she feel if her mother suddenly died. And not so much ‘suddenly die’, so much as if she were murdered. But that wasn’t something he could openly ask. Not only would it be weird to Eva, but it would be almost obvious once news spread of Evelyn’s death. So he kept it to himself. Instead, he focused on when he asked her if she could ever forgive someone for hurting her, or someone she cared about. She said she would… but she also wouldn’t have to forgive Arthur if she never knew. “Do you think Helene would forgive Terrance?” Arthur surprised himself, not really sure where that question came from. Perhaps he was really concerned for his friend’s wellbeing, but yet his mind still seemed set on the idea of forgiveness.

Sudden loud murmurs and turning heads were coming from the main entrance to the school’s campus, where Terrance and Jacob were walking side by side. Of course, everyone was talking about the cuts and bruises that littered Terrance’s usually god-like, handsome face. Though some would argue that the cuts only brought out a more rugged handsomeness to Terrance. But any attention that Terrance got from passerby girls, he didn’t enable it. Which was extremely unlike himself. Usually he would flaunt the evidence of a fight with the overused phrase of ‘you should see the other guy’. Girls would swoon at his tough guy look, and Terrance would have a new girl by the end of the night. However, if they did ‘see the other guy’, everyone would know Terrance got his ass handed to him on a silver platter.

Terrance didn’t seem to pay much mind to the whispering girls around him, since he only had one on his mine. “Is Helene here yet?” Arthur just shook his head, having not seen Helene yet today, but he had a strong feeling that she wasn’t going to show her face today.

“Alyssa told me she isn’t coming in today. But just because she is skipping doesn’t mean you can too.” Before Jacob could finish that statement, Terrance turned on his heels and made his way back to the parking lot, but stopped short remembering Jacob had brought him in. And Terrance wasn’t about to walk all the way home. Instead he grumbled with annoyance and turned his attention back to the group again, his arms crossed aggressively over his chest. He was clearly not in a good mood, and it didn’t seem to help that he was going to have to simmer all day with whatever words he wanted to share with Helene. Not that she would want to hear them, Arthur assumed.

Terrance’s eyes scanned around before landing on Arthur holding tightly onto Eva. Terrance scoffed at the little sign of public affection and averted his gaze. Terrance was obviously bothered by any possible displays of affection between his friends and their respective crushes or lovers. Why was he the only one of sound mind? Why was he the only one that could tame his feelings and think rationally and responsibly?

Was what he did yesterday of sound mind, rational, and responsible? The singular thought ran through Terrance’s mind, but he quickly ignored it. What happened yesterday was just merely a fluke. He lost control over nothing, and now he was going to have to ask for the Patrone’s family forgiveness to move on. But damn, he really didn’t want to apologize to that tool, Isaac.

Alexander has humming happily to a nice jam blasting through his speakers, as he was cruising in his SUV. He was in full swing with the song, practically screaming at the top of his lungs. 🎵 ”Baby you can count on me! I’ll be right there for you, I’ll always adore you. My love will restore you!” Alexander’s little jam session was interrupted as his phone vibrated in the cupholder next to him, and he reached for it, seeing Gigi’s name on the top of his screen. Although he was already almost to the school, he checked for the absence of cars. None were very close, so with a swift jerk of the steering wheel, his SUV flawlessly climbed over the cement median of the road, and turned around in the other direction, now pressing down further on the accelerator. Omw He messaged back, his heart racing, and his car speeding, not stopping until he reached Gigi’s apartments, and pulled up in front of the patiently waiting Gigi. He reached for nearby window, the same song still blasting over the speakers and he called out over the music. “Your chariot awaits!”

Morning came too quickly for everyone, though it probably had to do with the fact no one went to bed until very late at night. Arthur and Eva were up pretty late with their shenanigans, Jacob hid out in Alyssa’s room as late as he could to avoid having to go home until very late, Terrance drank himself into a coma to fall asleep, and Alexander stayed up late preparing his dinner and leftovers for the following day. Once again, Arthur woke up sometime before Eva and let her continue to sleep as he moved downstairs to talk with his mother. It was a good thing she slept in, because Noah happened to be there as well. It surprised Arthur, as Noah was almost always gone by this time in the morning, and Arthur could see a bit of relief in her eyes when she saw Eva was not with Arthur. Noah turned his head to his son, his brow furrowing. “Arthur. How goes it with Esparanza?” Noah crossed his arms over his chest, and Arthur averted his gaze. Shit. He wasn’t ready for such an early morning interrogation, and Arthur just ran his head through his long blond hair. Noah seemed to answer for him. “Nowhere, as I’ve been having to pick up your slack. I don’t know what the hell has gotten into you, but that is changing today.” Noah stood up abruptly, running his fingers over his thick beard. “You are going to take care of it, tonight. Information I’ve collected is on my desk. Your employers gave you two months, but I’m giving you less than 24 hours. Have her dead by midnight tonight.” Noah turned his back to Arthur, giving a quick kiss to his wife, Alyssa, and left to do whatever it was he did during the day. Arthur glared at the back of his father’s head as he stormed away. Kill Evelyn Esparanza… tonight?... Arthur sighed heavily, making his way back to his bedroom to dress, forgetting whatever it was that he came to ask his mother about, and instead woke Eva to get ready for class.

It weighted heavy in Arthur’s chest all the way to school, his thoughts only focused on his mission he had tonight, and the effects it would have. Arthur wanted nothing more than to take the last bit of Evelyn’s life away, for all of the shit that she put Eva through. But at the same time, even if Eva claimed she didn’t get along with her mother, it didn’t mean she would be happy losing her mother. And her only parent, as she didn’t truly know who her father was. Arthur sighed heavily when parking the car, rubbing his temple as if he had a headache.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jacob looked at his watch and let out a long sigh before climbing from his car in the Flights’ family driveway. His phone had a message on it to get Terrance to their house for dinner and discussion tonight. Helene too. Jacob scratched the top of his head before entering the house of his friend. As always, the house looked spotless. But it didn’t take long for Jacob to notice the missing Jack Daniels bottle from the liquor cabinet, as he passed it towards the staircase. Jacob pushed open the door to Terrance’s room, and found him laying on the bed, still in his swimming trunks, holding on to the empty bottle. In fact, he was practically cradling it in his arms, while curled up in bed. Jacob rolled his eyes harshly, and walked to the blinds, peeling back the black out curtains. The sudden light awoke Terrance, and groaning, he began to sit up in bed. “What the fuck, Jacob? Don’t they teach you to let sleeping dogs lie?” Terrance brought the bottle to his lips again, but then promptly tossed it on the end of his bed, as the bottle was clearly empty. “Yeah well, this puppy is in trouble and is about to get sent to the pound. You need to wash up, get your ass to class, and then get to my place. My father wants to have a discussion with both you and Helene.” Jacob looked through his contacts and shot a message to Gigi, letting her know that Mr. Patrone would like a word with Helene this evening, and if Gigi could get her to go. Jacob crossed his arms as Terrance laid back down in the bed, pulling the covers over his face to block out the sun rays of the early morning. Talk with Helene? Terrance felt as if he would throw up. He couldn’t face her. He could never look her in the eyes again. She wasn’t his property, she was just as free to spend her time with whomever she wanted. Yet, he wanted to end that. He wanted to make her his, and only his. But he couldn’t. He can’t. At least, not any more after his stunt at the beach. The covers were ripped off his body by Jacob, who then proceeded to grab his ankles and drag him out of the bed and towards the bathroom. “Either you get in this shower, or I’m going to bathe your myself!” Terrance scoffed at Jacob’s bluff, but when he suddenly felt his friend grabbing at his swimming trunks, Terrance jumped, fully alert. “Okay okay! I got it! Sheesh…”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Alexander woke up significantly more pleasant than he had the previous day. In fact, he was still so fully of energy from the night before, he practically leaped out of his bed earlier than ever before. He had time to make himself a few pancakes and slices of bacon. In the fridge was his lunch, and another treat that he made for Gigi for lunch today. Alexander had his back to the whiteboard, feet up on the counter as he leaned back in a chair, scrolling through social media on his phone. Most of it consisted of videos and links to different recipes for him to either try and replicate or improve. Alexander had a natural knack for cooking, as it was his favorite hobby and pastime. Perhaps if he didn’t have intentions of following his parent’s footsteps as being a thief, he would go on to own or run his own restaurant. It was a dream that frequented Alexander’s dreams, but he didn’t get caught up on it too long. Him? A chef? Terrance would laugh in his face. But then again, that was because Terrance couldn’t see anyone wanting to work outside of their professions.

Reaching Helene’s house, Alexander moved quickly around to the trunk where he saw Gigi struggling with some of the bags and things that Helene had brought with her. Alexander watched her struggle with balancing a few things and Alexander quickly helped to support her arms. “Let me take that, Giselle.” Alex smiled sweetly to her, balancing the objects in his arms prepared to take them inside for Helene. But Alex lingered a little watching Gigi and taking in a deep breath. “I didn’t answer you fully earlier… You asked me why you. It took Jacob reminding me of everything I ever said about you… At least, everything I’d ever wrote about you.” Alexander took in a deep breath, prepared to go on a little tirade.

“It is how your ebony hair glows when the sun hits it just right. How your dark eyes swallow me whole. You are so serious, I feel like you can bring me down to earth when I go floating away. It is the way you look at your friends with such endearment, though you try to hide it behind a façade. You are strong, independent, loyal, and down right gorgeous, Giselle. I want to be able to call you mine because I know how impossible of a feat that would be. And I’m not going to stop until I have you.” Alexander grinned and shot a quick wink to Giselle before walking the packages into Helene’s house, placing them at the floor. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see Helene drinking something that strongly resembled alcohol, and Alexander frowned, quickly shimmying out of the house. Getting back in the car, Alexander waved to Gigi and set off. Terrance’s eyes lingered watching the house leave in the distance, and clenching his jaw he kicked the inside of Alexander’s door. “Yo! Watch the interior!!” Alex yelped to the back, but Terrance just groaned loudly.

“Just get me home.” Finally dropping off Terrance, he slammed the door behind him, storming into his own house and slamming that door as well. Terrance walked straight to the liquor cabinet to grab himself a handle of jack, and drinking down the bottle in frequent, fast succession. Terrance looked in the mirror, looking at the cuts and swells on his face. He groaned punching the mirror and shattering the reflection. He didn’t want to see his damn face, and Terrance collapsed on his bed, pulling out his phone and just staring at his messages between him and Helene.

“You can drop me and Alyssa at my place. I can drive her home from here…” Jacob waved to Alexander, Arthur, and Eva as Alexander had to make one more stop before getting home. Jacob let out a long sigh before looking at Alyssa. “You’re lucky your friends are more sane than my own.” Jacob grinned, directing Alyssa to his own car to driver her home. “I’m really not looking forward to what Terrance is going to look like tomorrow. If one thing is going right, then something has to go nuclear, you know?” He sighed, feeling exhausted after all of the events of today. He didn’t want to come back home after dropping of Alyssa, knowing he was going to have to talk with his father about what happened between Terrance and Isaac. Jacob knew that word would have already been delivered to his father by Isaac. So Jacob was going to have to be the one to clean up his friend’s mess.

With Arthur and Eva dropped off, and cozy in their room, Arthur locked the door and sighed loudly, undoing the manbun on the top of his head. He grabbed a nearby hairbrush and started to brush out the knots and tangles that always seemed to occur when he went to the beach. In one stroke, the brush got stuck in his hair, and upon letting go it hung in his hair. Arthur sighed heavily in defeat, looking back towards Eva, still in his bikini. Pulling the brush swiftly from his hair, Arthur walked towards Eva and cupped her face in his hands, planting a kiss on her soft lips. “You are so beautiful…” His fingers played with the little strings behind her neck, and no longer having to fight back the temptation in the privacy of his bedroom, he pinched one of the strings and swiftly pulled it, untying the top of her bikini.

Alexander returned to his own empty nest, making his way to the kitchen. He once again updated the counter on the whiteboard. Yet looking at the number didn’t bring down his spirit like it usually would have. He spent a fun day at the beach with Gigi. Even if it didn’t go perfectly according to his plans, he was able to get off his chest his feelings for her.

Alex’s hands rested on his lap relatively defeated by such a simple gesture. Jacob groaned, slightly annoyed, before turning to Alex. “What happened with Gigi? What did she say?” Alex was staring at the steering wheel, twiddling his thumbs back and forth as if he had to think about it.

“She asked why I chose her. I guess, why I like her.” Jacob scratched the top of his head, reaching in his pocket for his own phone and tapping around. “Oh yeah? And what did you say?” Jacob was suddenly caught of guard by the ensuing waterworks from Alexander, who was resting his face in his hands. “Holy shit, Alex. What did you say?”

“Nothing, Jacob! I told her I don’t know. I- I really don’t know. I feel empty and I don’t know what’s wrong with me.” Alexander held his face, just shaking. Oh jeez. “Alexander, you know that is a fucking lie.” Jacob pushed his phone into Alexander’s hand. At that moment Alyssa was banging on the window to get Jacob’s attention. A fight?! God, he was only gone for two minutes!!! Jacob groaned loudly, opening the door to jump out. “Just read those! Come back when you feel better.” Jacob closed the door and took Alyssa’s hand, running down to the beach to assist. Arthur had finally reached the two Swedes, Terrance now on his back on the towels while Isaac was going in straight on his face. Punch, after punch, after punch. Arthur got behind Isaac, wrapping his arms around his torso and lifting him off of Terrance. There was a lot of straining in Arthur’s face, but he managed to pull Isaac back, who was breathing heavy. “What the hell, Terrance?? The fuck is your problem!” Arthur was straining holding back Isaac and Jacob finally appeared, assisting in pushing him away as well, and Arthur felt like he could breath again. “Isaac, go home!”

Isaac shook his head, rubbing the sweat from his head and the blood from a cut on his lip. “Your buddy fucked up, Jacob. Get your men under control!” Isaac threw his hands in the air, before storming off the beach. Arthur and Isaac got down beside Terrance, grabbing up some of the clean towels to put pressure to his face. His right eye was already beginning to swell up from a black eye and a cut on his lip. He really wasn’t looking so good. In fact, Jacob had a feeling he couldn’t see out of his swelling eye. “And don’t put your hands on her again!” Terrance muttered and turned on his side, coughing up blood and wheezing. Jacob pulled him up, so he would sit up straight. Jacob grabbed a water and a bottle of vodka from the cooler. First with the water, he poured it over Terrance’s face to wash away sand and some blood. Arthur grabbed the vodka, getting a towel wet with vodka. He pressed the vodka soaked towel to Terrances face, flinching away at first and hissing in pain. “Give that to me. You are so rough, Arthur.” Terrance snatched the towel away and gentle pressed it against the cuts on his face, wincing more in pain from the stinging alcohol. “What the hell, Terrance? What happened? Why were you two fighting?” But Terrance rolled his eyes and turned away, holding the towel over his face. “Your brother is an ass, that’s why.” Jacob shook his head, putting pieces together himself. Jacob assumed that Terrance must have came back and exploded seeing Isaac flirting with Helene.

Arthur, seeing as the fight was now broken up, hurried down towards the water, putting a hand on Eva’s shoulder, turning her to him and encapsulating her in a hug. He hoped that she didn’t see that, but there was going to be no chance of Terrance hiding his face from Eva. It was entirely fucked up. “It is okay now. I’m sorry I ran off like that.” Over the dunes, Alexander reappeared, his eyes bright and a small smile on the corners of his lips. Seeing Terrance nursing a wound didn’t seem to really phase him, as he tossed Jacob his phone back, and resumed standing beside Gigi, not really registering much of what was going on. Besides the fact there was obviously a fight. But Alexander seemed to have his own things on his mind now. Jacob tucked his phone away, giving a quick nod to Alexander and helping Terrance to his feet. Terrance didn’t look at Helene, he couldn’t look at her. He wanted to, but he couldn’t face her right now, as he felt like he was drowning in guilt. “Well, I think this may be enough beach for today… What do you all think?” Jacob looked around at the crowd. Alexander seemed a bit bummed out, but it seemed like his mood wasn’t shifting anymore. “I can take everyone home… Terrance, just don’t get blood on my interior.”

Jacob looked at Alyssa and shook his head slightly, letting out a heavy sigh. He made sure to talk low enough as to be unheard by Helene. “Terrance is a tool, Alexander is more sensitive than a fresh wound, and Arthur is an actual rock.” Jacob rubbed his head still in annoyance, but feeling Alyssa’s fingers running through his hair seemed to settle his restless mind, and he rubbed her back, smile growing on his lips. “To start off, Terrance is the smart one, yet he is as dull as a plastic knife sometimes. He doesn’t let his heart do any thinking. Tell me this- Do you think Helene likes Terrance? Because I feel like I could put money down on the fact Terrance likes Helene. But he is too stubborn in the idea that none of us can be romantically involved due to who we are. But we exist, don’t we? Our parents had to have started off somewhere as well, right? It seems to me, Terrance is too afraid of something, I guess commitment, to recognize the fact that he is just as “stupid” as me, Arthur, and Alexander for falling for Helene. And now he is running away from the problem, like it will help.” Jacob ranted, waiving his hand off in the direction that Terrance had disappeared to. Jacob knew it would probably be a while until Terrance returned, probably beaming at the idea that he just hooked up with two girls at once, but obviously still bothered by Isaac making moves on Helene.

“Then we have Alex. He is so caught up in wanting to be loved, that he doesn’t realize Gigi doesn’t like him. And I know that is going to be his downfall… He is a blind, hopeless romantic. And I’m scared for his mental stability because of it.” Jacob rubbed the back of his neck, not sure whether or not to go into the details of Alexander’s private life. Sure, Jacob had already told Alyssa about who he was, but he wasn’t about to expose his friend’s secrets without them knowing or having control over it. “Arthur. I don’t have much a bone to pick with him now as I did before. Perhaps because he seems so absorbed in another world with Eva… he is starting to slack. I guess that is my fault, for telling him to let his emotions go but, now he is letting them run free. I’ve never seen him like this before, and it is causing him to slip up in his work and integrity. I think of all of us, he will have the hardest time maintaining his work ethic, and keeping up with Eva at the same time.” Jacob grabbed his beer, feeling a bit better after ranting and getting his thoughts off his chest. He took a quick sip of his beer, sighing in relief while keeping his eyes on Alex. “Sorry if this is a lot for you to absorb in one sitting. I just really had to get this shit off my chest.”

Alex watched Gigi through his ever-dulling eyes. She was sorry for hitting him? Guess that was a normal way to feel punching an innocent person in the face. But Alexander had forgiven her forever ago, probably the following day when his black eye was the darkest. This was probably the most Gigi had ever spoken to him in one sitting, and it felt so serious. Yeah, she was right in that it wasn’t a good idea to get attached to someone. Alexander thought he could hear Terrance’s voice in that statement. Mainly how it seemed that Alexander was always chasing Gigi, and Terrance obviously disapproved of it. But then she asked the question that stab Alexander’s chest. Why did he chase Giselle? He could have just about any girl on campus, much like Terrance. He was a charmer, smooth talker, and a romancer. So many girls had already expressed interested in him. So why was he so hooked up on Giselle? Though he felt as if he could rattle his brain for a million reasons, his mind was coming up short. And simply put, he couldn’t think of one single reason why he chased her. Why he liked her. Why he thought he loved her. That was when he felt the twisting of the knife in his chest, as his eyes grew duller, and his smile vanished completely from his face. He wasn’t meant to have a fairytale love like his mother and father. They were so much in love, that there was none left for him. Finally breaking away from his constant stare at the horizon, Alexander looked Giselle in the eyes, not showing the same glee and joy as he usually had. “I don’t know…” Was all that left his lips before he turned around and headed back in towards the group on land.

Jacob, watching Alexander coming inland quickly stood up, steadying Alyssa to her feet. Jacob could see it already in Alexander’s face and eyes, something had gone wrong. “Woah, Alex, buddy. You okay, what happened?” Alexander didn’t respond, and simple grabbed up his phone, car keys, and bag of clothes and continued walking up towards the dunes. “I’m going home. Mom and Dad are probably wondering where I am.” Jacob’s face twisted slightly in alarm and he turned back to Alyssa, taking a deep breath. “I’m so sorry. I have to go with him.” Jacob quickly kissed Alyssa on the forehead, before chasing up the dunes after Alexander. “Just keep an eye on everything and everyone! I’ll come back to get you all as soon as possible!” Jacob called back to Alyssa, as he and Alexander disappeared over the dunes. Isaac raised an eyebrow when Jacob shot off with one of his friends. He wasn’t sure what was going on, but it struck him as odd that Alexander mentioned his parents. Knowing fully well that they had been gone for… 5 years now? But Isaac turned his attention back to the lovely Helene, keeping a tight grip on her hips. As he pulled her slightly closer, Isaac suddenly looked up. In the distance he could see Terrance approaching the group. “Oi! Terrance! That was fast.” Terrance didn’t look at Isaac, nor respond to his comment, grabbing up his own items. “Where is Alex? I want to head home.”

Isaac raised and eyebrow towards Terrance. “Woah, woah, woah. You can’t go home now. The evening is young. The sun hasn’t even kissed the horizon yet. You can’t just up and leave yet! Besides, you gotta tell me what happened with you and those flickor.” Although he used a Swedish word, it was obvious he was talking about the two girls that Terrance was last seen with. Terrance tensed up slightly, wrapping a towel around his waist, keeping his back to Isaac and Helene. He took in a sharp breath, and brushed back his salt water soaked hair. “You already know what happened.” He growled through clenched teeth, slowly growing agitated with Isaac. Isaac finally let go of Helene, approaching Terrance to murmur to him in a hushed whisper. “Hey, I get it. Don’t want to talk about it in front of a past fling. No biggie. We can talk about it lat-“ Isaac’s sentence was cut short by Terrance whipping around and slugging Isaac in the jaw. Though it was the strongest punch that Terrance had ever thrown in his life, it didn’t seem to phase Isaac as much as it should have. And so the fist fight ensued.

Arthur, finally getting the hang of blocking out everyone around him, once again found himself absorbed in his own world with Eva. It was just them together on the beach, and he playfully started to splash her as she splashed him. He chased her through the water, and at one point picked her up just to throw her in the air and catch her with the brace of the water. It felt amazing, not paying attention to anyone around him besides Eva. All there was, was the cool ocean water, and the feeling of her clinging onto his arms and chest now and again. “Thank you, Eva.” Was all that Arthur got out before placing a kiss on the top of her head. But his daydream of being alone with Eva was interrupted by the all too familiar sound of punches being thrown, and Arthur began to turn his head towards the scene. Now, normally Arthur would intervene at any moment, at any time, in any place, to step up and protect one of his friends. However, Terrance was now picking a fight with the one person he shouldn’t have- Isaac Patrone. First born son, and mammoth of a man. Arthur had no doubt that a fist fight between himself and Isaac would be one to remember for the ages. However, contractually Arthur was obligated not to intervene in situations like this. He was contractually obligated to protect all members of the Patrone family. Along with all members of the Flights family. But in this moment, he had no idea what to do if a Patrone was fighting a Flights. He had to think quickly on what actions to take. But it didn’t take long for the fight to turn for the worse, at it seemed Isaac was already drawing blood from Terrance from one swift punch. Arthur grabbed Eva tightly, turning her back towards the beach and holding her face to his chest so she couldn’t see. "Don't look. Keep your back turned, and walk backwards towards the beach. Promise me." Arthur once again kissed the top of Eva's head, and began to run towards the shore and to the fight.

Alexander climbed into his SUV, and Jacob jumped quickly in the passenger side, snatching the keys from Alexander’s hand and throwing them all the way to the trunk. Alexander looked at his hand, slowly turned his head to the back of the SUV, then turned his head to Jacob. “Why did you do that?...”

“Because we need to talk, Alex.”

Summer camp? What? Am I 10 years old? Xavier sighed heavily, his eyes watching the racing trees outside is passenger window. He fiddled a bit with the phone in his hand, skipping song after song until finding the right one. Damn his parents, they didn't even care enough to be the ones to 'drop him off'. Much like when he was a little kid, he was being dropped off by the family's personal servant rather than his own mother or father. Yet they were always the one asking what was wrong with him? Heh, yeah, he was the one fucked up. Xavier's hand reached for a button, lowering the window. With a quick motion, he extracted a cigarette, lit it with his metal flip lighter, and took a quick drag. "Master Xavier, your parents won't be pleased when I return with the lingering smell of a cigarette." But the music blasting in Xavier's ears was enough for him to tune out the old bat, and he just continued driving. Besides, at least he had the decency to roll down the windows.

Ugh, pine air. It smelt gross, and already Xavier was beginning to feel sick to his stomach. Get away for the summer, his parents said. Get some fresh air. Being shipped off to a summer camp like an unwanted child wasn't what Xavier had in mind. He more so envisioned himself on Miami beach, girls in both his arms, and smoking a Cuban than this little twerp of a cigarette. Then at night, when the real party started, he could see himself cruising the streets in his M4 BMW. His own pride and joy. But now his precious baby was hundreds of miles away, tucked away in a 12 car garage back home. Poor baby probably thought her master abandoned her, and it tore at Xavier's heartstrings as well. He craved for the smell of burnt rubber on asphalt, not this 'fresh air' bull. The car came to a halt at a large wooden cabin. There was nothing as far as his eyes could see. Only a giant lake, some trees, some open grass, and a few more cabins scattered here and there. A few other teens were walking around, talking and laughing. Some were even turning their attention towards the Model S Tesla that had just seemed to grace their presence. Xavier sank lower in his seat, as if his body could melt into a puddle and get soaked up into the carpet bellow him. All the maids in the Thorne's household wouldn't be able to scrub out the embarrassment that stained his father's car.

"You know I'm not leaving without you out of this car, Master Xavier. You and I would both rather not cause a scene among your peers." Peers? Jesus, they were just other dumb teenagers. Xavier grumbled and popped open his door, grabbing up his black Supreme duffle bag. His clothes screamed rich kid, as he fixed his Ray bands on his face, pushing his phone deep into his pocket. He felt like he stuck out like a sore thumb as his the car turned to abandon him here. Yep, unwanted child alright. Xavier sighed again, making his way to a table where some counselors were seated, going through paperwork. "Name?"

"Xavier Thorne." That seemed to turn a few more heads in his direction, and even caused the counselor to jump a little. "I see. Our resident troublemaker for the summer. We've already been in contact with your parents. You'll be in cabin 13. I suggest you get your things settled away and start socializing." Xavier scoffed and turned his back to the table and made his way to the 13th cabin. Socialize? With these barbarians? Right, get right on that. Xavier rolled his eyes so hard his head felt like it was going to pop off. "And put out that cigarette. They aren't allowed out here." Xavier turned his head, taking another long drag of the cigarette before walking off, keeping it in his hand. Oh yeah, they weren't going to have an easy time taming this beast.

Approaching cabin 13, Xavier stowed away his bag in a lock box at the end of one bed. These idiots would be thinking twice if he was going to have his items so easily of access to anyone. Besides, he packing a few things of his own for entertainment over the summer. A loud chiming sound rang through speakers attached to the old log cabin that Xavier arrived at, announcing that everyone meet out in the center field of all the cabins. Xavier, slamming the trunk closed and locking it, decided to entertain the “Camp Counselors” with his attention… but if they didn’t have anything interesting to say, he would direct his attention else where. Perhaps to some of the girls that were prancing around in short shorts. Sure, it was hot out, but come on. Girls only showed that much skin when they wanted a guy’s attention.

Arthur sighed blissfully feeling Eva’s small hands massaging his back. He closed his eyes, savoring the moment with her. He loved the feeling of her hands exploring his body, not too unfamiliar to the young man. He welcomed it greatly, his mind wandering off as well. It was late on the beach and the two of them were the only ones there. The sun was setting on the horizon, leaving the sky a beautiful pink and blue. Arthur sat down and was promptly pushed over on his back by Eva, where she climbed on his lap. Hm, perhaps that was something they would have to try someday. Arthur shook his head, coming back to reality when Eva mentioned wanting to go in the water. That was probably the best idea to try and rinse out these dirty thoughts. Arthur just nodded, scooping Eva in his arms as he always did and carried her down to the water. He placed her back on her feet once entering the crystal clear water, Arthur stepping father in, and leading Eva by her hand. When the water reached Eva’s hips, Arthur stopped, not sure how far out she wanted to go. He kept a gentle but tight grip on her hand as to not lose her. But the water was still very calm. Looking down, Arthur could still see her curvy figure in the water, and at the same time saw a fish begin to swim in figure 8’s around her leg. Arthur, probably more startled by the fish than Eva, quickly reached down to shoo away the fish, as it swam away. Instinctively, he wrapped his arms around Eva to hold her close, one of his arms and hands resting bellow her breasts, hoisting her very slightly off the sea floor. “Is nowhere safe you? Do all animals have to try to get between your legs?” Arthur huffed, flailing his legs now and again to continuously shoo away curious fish that seemed to get too close. It was more obvious to others than Arthur that he was venting about his frustration of other guy’s peering eyes on Eva. Poor fish had nothing to do with any of it. Arthur was just never very good at sharing. Arthur thought about what she had said earlier about just being his, and he felt tired. He knew that she was his, and only his. But that didn’t stop others from wanting to have a piece of his prize it seemed.

Alexander’s attention turned towards Eva and Arthur for a second, watching what seemed like them playing in the water. Alexander felt a slight pain in his chest. That was something he wanted too. Looking back at Gigi, Alexander quickly put her back down on her feet. He still held a smile on his face, but it seemed less cheery than it had a few moments earlier. No longer was he flashing his bright teeth, but instead was just curling the corner of his lips. His eyes seemed to dull down a little from their golden puppy dog look. “Sorry. I can really get carried away from time to time.” Alexander’s eyes had drifted away from Gigi and were now staring off at the infinite horizon. From Alexander’s view Gigi was still just as uninterested in him as she had been for a couple years now. He remembered the first time he saw her in the hallways. Before seeing Gigi, he and Terrance were the natural school prowlers. Always on the hunt for the next girl to charm, wine, dine, and sixty-nine. But Alexander remembered when he first laid eyes on Gigi, standing with Helene by the lockers, her straight dark hair, and dark eyes. She was so cute in her messy uniform. He had walked over to introduce himself but instead was promptly greeted with a swift punch to the face and was left with a black eye for almost a week. Weird way to find out you fell in love with someone, huh? It wasn’t anything like the story his parents told about their fist meeting in high school in Sweden. They had both fallen head over heels for each other almost instantaneously… however… Gigi… Gigi hadn’t fallen head over heels like Alexander had. Instead she had punched him in the face, which he had initially thought was because he startled her. Now, knowing and understanding more about Helene and Gigi’s relationship, he concluded that Gigi probably saw him as a potential threat to Helene, and was doing her part to fend him off. His eyes stayed locked on the horizon for a while, thinking the scenarios over in his head. “Do you remember when we first met, Giselle?” Alexander hadn’t realized he used her actually name and not the endearingly sweet one that Helene had assigned to her. His smile seemed to waiver just slightly, feeling another mood swing on the horizon.

Isaac remained sturdy where he stood as Helene moved in on him, his charming smile only growing slightly as his eyes absorbed every curve of Helene’s body. “Was just looking for Jacob. He usually comes straight home after class, but I must have missed him. My first instinct was that he must have been cruising the beach for a ‘paper run’ and figured I should check in on him. Little did I know there was a party going on, huh?” Isaac leaned down to the cooler, pulling out a beer. “As an adult, I should lecture you on the dangers of underage drinking…” He popped open the can and through his head back, downing the whole can in one go. He turned his head to a nearby trash and recycle bin, and tossed the can like a basketball, bouncing off the rim and into the plastic bag. “But now as a compromised adult, with such a sexy young woman in front of me… I want to encourage you to drink more with me.” He grabbed a second drink, clinking his together with her newly swiped one from Alyssa, and took another sip.

“I’m glad you’re able to come see our beach. Probably one of our more profitable territories in our reign. We can mostly thank Jacob for his efforts here.” Isaac reached his hand up, playing with her orange-red hair between his fingers, his eyes continuing to eat ever little bit of her body right up. His hand moved down to her neck, playfully rubbing under her chin. “I don’t know what it is like these days. But when I was in high school, the beach was known as one of the better get aways for… those with certain intentions. The Pier gets really secluded at night, and with the lack of light pollution, and sky is breath taking, almost like your eyes, beautiful… Perhaps, later tonight I can show you that, hm?” His hands were now trickling their way down her shoulder, to her arm, and now to the center of her back, as his fingers gently rubbed the small of her back.

Terrance from the ocean was not enjoying the view he could see of Isaac touching over Helene’s body, like a little play thing. Terrance tightened his muscles in frustration, though it seemed to also fuel the girls on more, as they pushed him through the water and father and father from the group. The girls whispered and giggled about doing something right there, in the open. But no one would see if they went far enough out, where the water became less and less clear, and the only things sticking above the water was their heads bobbing with the waves. Terrance saw Helene initially closing the gap of distance between her and Isaac before he turned his attention fully to the two girls, hanging on to him as they seemed to go further and further out of view in the water. The excitement and taboo of doing it out in public was too much for Terrance, the womanizer, to handle himself, and once he felt far enough from view, he gave in to his inhibitions with the two other girls, ravaging one of their necks and grabbing onto the other. However, throughout the entire endeavor, all he could see when he closed his eyes was Helene in his arms, and all these actions being performed on her rather than these strangers.

Jacob, much feeling like a babysitter, let out a long and tired sight, plopping into one of the beach chairs, and pulling Alyssa on to his lap. It seemed that he and Alyssa were the only sane ones, despite the trouble of their relationship. Jacob was keeping out an eye on his three friends as they had all made their way into the water. Jacob didn’t admit it to anyone, besides Alyssa in the past, that he had a fear of open water. He loved the beach, being in the sun, going in the sand. But anything higher than the knees made him extremely anxious. He heard plenty of stories of sudden rip currents pulling people out to sea, even in water as shallow as one’s knees. So he stuck with the safety of sturdy land under his feet. Jacob noticed Alexander putting Gigi down in the water and staring off into the distance, which made Jacob sit up a little bit more, keeping his hand on Alyssa’s back so she wouldn’t fall from his sudden movement. It wasn’t enough of a sign to determine how Alexander was doing, but Jacob could see the start of another drop. Jacob’s eyes shot back to where he last saw Terrance, perhaps to signal to him to check in on Alex, But Jacob’s eyes scanned around and saw no sign of Terrance, or the two girls that were hanging off of him. Though Terrance was the more observant of his friends, it didn’t take more than putting 2 and 2 together to know where he wandered off to, and what to do. Jacob couldn’t pull himself to look over at Helene for her reaction. Specifically since he didn’t want the mental image of his brother hitting on a girl to become burned into his retinas permanently. Instead, Jacob just sighed loudly, rubbing his temple. “God, I have shitty friends.”

Pulling up his long blonde hair and tying it into a messy manbun, Arthur sat down beside Eva in the cool shade. He reached in the cooler and procured a beer for himself, and placing one beside Eva if she wanted it. With a snap and a fizz, Arthur was gulping it down in one go, and was already reaching for a second one. Arthur was using the beers as a way to calm his nerves. He could tell that Eva wasn’t very happy about wearing the baggy shirt over her swimsuit. Of course, she was so beautiful, he didn’t want her to think any different. But he just didn’t want anyone else trying to hit on her here. He rapped his fingers along the aluminum side of the can before leaning over to rest his cheek on her shoulder. “Sometimes you are so beautiful I don’t know how to behave…” he mumbled, taking another sip of his beer.

Terrance got down on his knees beside Helene, having squirted a generous amount of block on her back, he began to rub some in his hands as well, and his fingers went on their own adventure. Terrance was no stranger to every little curve and detail of Helene’s body, but it was always a wonderful treat to allow his fingers to explore. He tried to be somewhat careful when touching her swimsuit though. It felt as if the slightest touch would cause the suit to snap apart under his hands. Not that he would mind, Terrance felt that their city was due to create a nude beach sooner or later. Being able to stand out in the sun, full exposure, and around plenty of gorgeous women. Terrance was no stranger to attention and had enough confidence in his body and length to not be afraid to show it. Speaking of which, Terrance had to ease up on the touching in order to keep himself from overheating as well. Maybe he ought to take a dip in the water to cool off as well. When Terrance felt he had fully protected Helene from the sun’s harmful rays, he stood up and tossed the bottle towards Jacob. “Damn it is hot out here. I’m going to dip in the water for a second to cool off.” Terrance waved and made his way down to the water, wadding in up to his chest, then dived into the cool water, letting it lower the temperature of his skin.

Jacob was gently rubbing the sunscreen over Alyssa’s back, every now and again playfully planting a kiss on her back or the back of her neck. God, he was so in love with her, he could barely stand it. Getting ready to put some on his own shoulders, two random guys approached the group, their eyes bouncing around. But it seemed their main focus was on Jacob and his brightly colored swim shorts. Jacob knew what was coming, but he wasn’t sure if Alyssa knew what he was up to. They had only started talking again, and it didn’t change who her father was. But did she care about what he did for a living? Sure, he was fine with risking so much having her by his side, but would she continue to be okay with him running the family business. Before the strangers could utter out a word, Jacob ushered them to walk together. “I’ll be right back, Alyssa.” Jacob waved and walked with the two guys a ways away to the shady pier, where not much could be seen. The guys pulled out cash, and Terrance pulled out his own stash. “Shit man, we haven’t seen you around lately. Been busy?” One of the beach bums spoke up in the trade. Terrance shrugged. “My summer was busy running around with the old man. You know how it can be.” The surfer dude nodded and began to pull out rolling papers to make a joint. The other spoke up too, procuring a lighter from his pocket.

“Well, we missed having you out here over the summer. There was another guy cruising with bud. He was charging twice as much as you!” Jacob’s eyes narrowed slightly and he crossed his hands over his chest. “What guy?”

“He was Hispanic or something. Dark hair, tan skin. Never seen him before, but he appeared when you suddenly stopped coming. Bud was shit too.” The surfer dude stuck his tongue out. From the message he was relaying, it made it sound like someone from the Munez family was significantly overstepping their boundaries. Prior as well to the discovering of one of “his guys” in the Munez turf. Jacob thanked them for their information, as they willingly shared a drag with him, and Jacob made his way back to the group. Phone in hand, he was alerting his brothers and father of the news. Think of the devil, and he shall appear. “How did I know you’d be here when you weren’t home.” The all too familiar voice chimed in, playfully grabbing up Jacob and ruffling up his hair. Jacob attempted fighting back and protesting, but to his failure. “Hey man! Knock it off!” Jacob broke free before retreating back to Alyssa’s side. Isaac greeted the rest of the group almost as warmly until his eyes settled on the sunbathing Helene, a grin growing across his lips. “Helene, that bathing suit. Damn! Is it me or did the beach get hotter?” Isaac laughed, rubbing the back of his head. He was very similar in appearance to Jacob, but closer to Arthur’s height, with a more chiseled body. He was just a few years older, no longer a high school student, so it wasn’t odd that he was pretty well built. Since he was no longer having to sit through classes for seven hours a day, he could focus that time on building his muscles and working out business deals. “Sorry if I’m being too direct. But you just never cease to amaze me, it seems.”

Rising back to the surface out in the water, Terrance took in a huge gulp of air. A few giggles behind him signaled to Terrance someone was nearby, and he was met with the company of two other bikini clad girls. Damn, they were smoking hot too. “Are you a life guard? You totally look like you could be a life guard.” One of the girl’s spoke with honey sweet voice. Terrance grinned and raised his arms above his head, flexing his biceps and pecks in one quick movement, the girls eyeing him hungrily. “Sorry, ladies. No life guard… But I can give you the kiss of life if you need it.” The two girls turned to one another and giggled almost uncontrollably. Oh yeah, he still had it! Terrance’s eyes shifted from the two flirty girls in front of him and rose up to the group where Helene sat. Terrance felt his blood run cold when he spotted Isaac standing over Helene, laughing and smiling with her. What the hell was that tool doing here? “Can we feel your muscles?” Terrance’s attention was brought back to the two girls, who were already reaching to feel his biceps before giving them an answer. “Wow! They are rock hard!” One of the girls insinuated, running her hands over his arms and onto his chest. Terrance’s eyes moved from the girls again and back towards Helene, who looked like she was now talking and laughing with Isaac, and he felt a click within him. They were friends with benefits. Why did he care if Isaac was hitting on her? Let her flirt with who she wanted and fool around with whoever. It didn’t matter. He turned his attention back to the two girls, his arms around both of their hips now and pulling them really close. In a rough whisper he murmured. “That’s not the only rock hard thing I have.” He shot both girls a wink and they bit their lips in response, giggling and running their hands over his chest and arms.

Far away from the debauchery of Terrance, Alexander watched Gigi float on the water and Alexander nodded. Yeah, the water seemed really calm for today. He didn’t care whether there were big wave or no waves, he just enjoyed the water. His face lit up for a second at the mention of surfing “Oh! Do you surf, Gigi?” Alexander moved through the water towards her and placed his arms under her back and legs, picking her up in the same bridal style that Arthur had so many times before with Eva. Alexander lifted her up and down slightly, feeling her weight. “You’re really light, so you must be really good at keeping your balance. I love to surf too! I’ve been known to be very agile in my own way.” Alexander was referencing how he has been known to sneak around and swipe objects from people without their noticing. But being light on his toes had other benefits as well. He continued to hold Gigi though, beaming his bright, toothy smile at her. Wow, she felt so nice in his arms, and she was so light and small too. Alexander felt as if he could hold her up like this all day long.

The sunscreen eventually made its way to Arthur, and he turned his attention back on Eva. His eyes travelled up her legs, stopping once they reached the bottom of the large shirt she was wearing. He sat ups straight and reached for the shirt she wore, pulling it over her head. “Let me help you with the sunscreen…” His breaths were caught in his throat when the shirt came off, revealing once again her perfect body to him. He exhaled slowly, as to remain calm, and began to put sunscreen in his hands, reaching for her shoulders first, massaging in the sun screen. His eyes darted around a few times, and it didn’t seem like anyone was really noticing that Eva’s cover shirt had come off yet. Most strangers seemed more preoccupied with talking or playing with friends to look in their direction. Big loss for them though, as Arthur just soaked in Eva’s gorgeous body, his hands slowly making their way down her back.

Joint in hand and taking a drag, Ricardo watched Alice as she seemed to tango with the idea of going into the pool. It was of much luck to Ricardo that so many others wanted her to join them in the cool water. Not for the same intentions as Ricardo of course, they were genuine “friends” to Alice. It was her first time at one of his crazy parties, and they wanted her to have just as much fun as they always had. Ricardo grinned with a slight maliciousness at the corner of his lips. Thanks for doing his little bidding, unknowingly. But even in her drunken and slightly drug-induced haze she was still very sharp minded. He didn’t blame her either. Any smart girl would be wary of Ricardo’s kindness as it always hid a more true, personal intention. He released the smoke from his lungs before passing it to his bozo friends around the circle. One of them spoke up, “¿Por qué la quieres?” Why did he want her? Ricardo just laughed shaking his head. No, he didn’t want her. He wanted 20 grand from Victoria, that was where his true loyalty lied, with Mistress Moolah. But when Ricardo just grinned, his pack assumed his normal intentions with any girl. It wasn’t an uncommon thought among most of the guys at Oak Pointe that Alice had a rocking body, and everyone wanted to do with it. But Alice was not an easy girl to get their hands on.

Ricardo raised a curious brow as Alice sat at the edge of the pool, dipping her silky legs into the crystal-clear water. Ricardo’s eyes followed those legs up until her dressed interrupted his imagination. A true let down. Alice was really going to make him work for her trust, it seemed. But, this was all just a fun game. And Ricardo was fully ready to play. A few of his rowdy friends laughed, patting Ricardo’s back or playfully whistle when Alice announced she wouldn’t get in unless he did. What a fun challenge, huh? But if that was all it took to get her to dress down, then challenge accepted. Ricardo sauntered over to the pool, confident in his stature. His hands were already at his belt and unfastening it. He was standing at the edge beside Alice, but gave himself a good amount of distance from her. Slow and steady wins the race, and he was going to have to work on building that trust before diving head first. He spoke calmly, and low enough to direct his voice only to Alice, while his blue eyes reflected the bright water. “You’re a smart chica, Alice. You don’t let your guard down just for anyone. I’m the same way. I don’t let anyone get close that I know won’t stab me in the back.” Of course, he was more so referring to people he let close in his drug dealings, but she didn’t have to know that. He reached his strong arms behind his back, pulling his tank top smoothly over his head and throwing it off to the side. Ricardo wasn’t ripped, but he did have a sea of muscles resting under his tan skin.

He chuckled slightly, turning his head to look at Alice. “Sidekick? Aye aye! You insult me so.” Ricardo held his hand to his heart, feigning dramatically. “I’m not like her little clique waiting on her hand and foot. She is my friend, but I don’t do her bidding. She knows I’m one of the few guys she can’t control.” He chuckled, and now pulled down his denim pants, revealing his skin-tight, black boxer briefs. He threw them off to the side with his tank top. His friends back in the circle were now yelling and cheering at him teasingly, a few whistles here and there. But he ignored them, it wasn’t the first time he had stripped down like this at one of his parties. Whether it was to go swimming, or playing one of Victoria’s little card games. Wow, it just clicked with Ricardo that her card games were probably how Victoria was going to get little Finn to undress for her. Ricardo chuckled and shook his head. Stupid girl, it would have been easier to get him naked alone than around other people too. Ricardo suspected his brain would be so fried from seeing so many naked girls that he wouldn’t function. “I’m only keeping an eye on you, watching over you, because I can’t seem to take these eyes off of you. You can choose to still not trust me. That is fine, belleza… But I do hope I can trust you enough to keep up your side of a deal.” He shot her a quick wink, taking a few steps back, and then running towards the pool to dive in, splashing water everywhere. Poking his head back over the surface, Ricardo took in a quick breath and ran his fingers through his now soaked hair. He extended his hand out towards Alice. “Don’t be shy. That water’s fine! The perfect cool refresher to such a hot day! Though I recommend ditching the dress, you won’t be comfortable walking around in a waterlogged dress later.” He shot her his charming, signature grin. But he still held his distance as to not overly intimidate her.

Victoria’s keen eyes glanced at the now empty cup left in Finn’s hand and she just chuckled. “You drank through your one line of defense so quickly! You must be eager to show off something!” Victoria’s honey words slipped from her lips, continuously scooting closer towards Finn. She was getting too much enjoyment out of teasing the poor guy, who obviously was shaken up by the situation he was in. Oh, he seemed so innocent and it seemed to only fuel Victoria’s lust for teasing the poor boy. She craved the feeling of power over others, and he was making it so easy for her to indulge in his nerves. So, Alice and Finn weren’t dating? It was a genuine surprise to Victoria, as she figured the two losers would be a perfect match for one another. Also the fact that they seemed to be inseparable besides this one moment at this party. Oh, he was just a sweet gentleman, wasn’t he? She was going to get too much enjoyment out of trying to corrupt him over the summer.

But Victoria was set back when Finn revealed a flush on the next hand. She noticed the suit and she just giggled, sitting up before revealing she merely had a high card. “Flush of Hearts? How romantic, hmm?” She teased, and watched as the rest of the girls and guys either continued with drinks, or pulled off an additional article of clothing. Victoria sat up and reached her hands into the front of her romper. There was a quick little click and from it she procured a strapless bra with the buckle in the front. Buckling the cups back in place in her hands, she shot a sweet smile to Finn before playfully tossing her bra into Finn’s lap. “To the victor goes the spoils!” In that moment, Victoria wondered if Finn had ever even seen a bra in his entire life, and she had to stifle laughter from erupting from her chest. Victoria closed in on Finn, once again getting so close that their bodies were just mere centimeters from brushing one another.

“Shoes and shocks don’t count, Robbie! And your know that! Only clothes above the knees count!” One of the girls bursted, as one of the guys was trying to get away with taking off a single sneaker. “What if a girl wore knee high stockings or something? How do those get count?” Victoria’s attention from Fin was diverted to the group for a second, and she was left just shaking her head and clicking her tongue. “Tsk, tsk. So many cheaters here tonight! Go ahead and pull off what socks and shoes you have- because those puppies don’t count. Only upper bodywear counts!” As her eyes traveled to one of the other guys, now shuffling and dealing, it stuck Victoria that of everyone in the room she was of a severe disadvantage. Her underwear and a romper were the only things that graced her body at the moment, so she was going to have to get very lucky not to lose all of her clothes before Finn. Especially since he was wearing an additional layer- a jacket. She decided her best course of action was going to be to try and manipulate it off him, not counting it as a loss. “Are you not burning up in that jacket? Summer break has started and it was so hot today.” She purred almost with concern, looking up at his face with her big blue eyes. She placed her palm on his chest, smoothly moving her hands up to his shoulder and under his jacket, playfully trying to knock it off his shoulder. From what her fingers could feel, he was relatively firm. He wasn’t built like some of the other guys in the room, but she could tell he wasn’t just chub underneath that shirt. She was growing more curious, she wanted to see him with those clothes off. She managed to make his jacket fall off his shoulders and the next hand was dealt. Victoria immediately flipped her cards, revealing a two pair. But it didn’t matter as one of the guys cheered out, ”Full House!” showing off his cards. Victoria snickered, reaching for her not quite finished drink to take a huge sip. She was getting low on her own drink as well, so she needed to tread carefully. “Come on, Finn. Stop hiding.” She teased Finn again, having now moved her hand from his shoulders and bringing it to rest on his thigh. She was talking about hiding his cards from the group, but she was insinuating he should stop hiding what he was packing from her.
