"No, you weren't. Nick just dropped by to apoligize."
"Yea, I'm sure," Meg said with a smile.
Melissa rolled her eyes and said, "Whatever. So what are you and AJ doing today?"
"Going to the beach."
"Are you going to tell him how you feel?"
Meg shrugged, " Maybe."
"You better because tomorrow is our last full day here."
"Well, then you better tell Nick about you being sick."
Melissa sighed, "Don't remind me, it's not anything I'm looking foward to."
"If you really cared about him you'd tell him."
"I will. When the time is right."
"What are you and Nick doing today?"
"We are going swimming in the hotel pool."
"Sounds exciting. O shit! Look at the time I better start getting ready."
"Yea me too. O yea and Meg tell him."
"Practice what you preach Mel!"
About half an hour later Melissa was waiting downstairs in the lobby for Nick wearing her green bikini again.
A few minutes later Nick appeared wearing a white wife beater and black swimming trunks. "Hey Babydoll," he said coming up behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist and dropping a few light kisses on the side of her neck.
"Hey," she said turning around to face him.
"I'll race you to the pool," he challenged her.
"OK, you're on," she said as she started running outside towards the pool.
Unfortunatly, Melissa forgot about being sick and forgot that every once in awhile the tumor made her dizzy and lose her balance. That was exactly what happened and halfway to the pool she had to stop, She felt everything spinning and almost lost her balance.
"Are you okay Babydoll?" Nick asked as he caught up to her.
"O yea," Melissa lied. "It's just you know asthma. I'll be fine."
"Are you sure?"
"Yea. I'm positive."
"Well, I'm going to carry you the rest of the way okay?"
"You don't have to."
"Yea, but I want to," he told her as he picked her up and carried her to the pool area.
"You can put me down over there," she said pointing towards a lounge chair.
Nick shook his head. "No way!"
"What do you mean no way?"
"You are going into the pool."
"No! Don't you dare! Put me down!" she yelled.
Her pleas did not discourage Nick on bit. Before she knew it he had thrown her in the pool. When she came up again she yelled, "Are you happy now?"
"Yea," he said with a laugh.
"Are you just going to stand there all day and laugh at me or are you coming in?"
"I'm coming in," he told her as he peeled off his wife beater and jumped in. Once he was in he came up behind Melissa, picked her up and threw her across the pool.
Melissa came up yet again this time fiddling with her bikini top. "You should really be more careful or else I'm going to be very embarassed."
"Hey, that's not a bad thing," he told her with a devilish grin.
"Yea, I bet you wouldn't think it would be a bad thing."
"Well, there is only us here."
"Yea, I guess so," Melissa said with a giggle as she dove underneath the water swimming towards him. When she reached him, she trailed kisses up his chest as she slowly resurfaced.
When her head was complety above the water he wrapped his arms around her tight and pressed his lips against hers.
She slowly opened her lips to him as he gently slid his tongue into her mouth.
At that moment Melissa just left the world behind and forgot all her worries. She just wished she could freeze this one moment in time and forget about everything.
Meg was already laying on her blanket in her black bikini when AJ found her. Man does she look hot, he thought.
Meg looked up at him as she lowered her sunglasses. "It took you long enough."
"Well, you know us guys, we're always running late."
"Yea I guess. So you want to go swimming?"
"Sure."
Damn, Meg thought. He really doesn't sound to enthuised. Am I just some little fling of his? she thought sadly. Never in her life had she ever felt about a guy this strongly. She herself had broken plenty of hearts in the past but it felt a lot different now that she was in their position.
The whole time while they were swimming Meg practically flirted her ass off with him and he never seemed to notice much. It was so frustrating.
When they got out of the water AJ asked if he could borrow her towel.
"No!"she told him with a smile.
"C'mon! I'm cold here! Please?" he said giving her a huge puppy dog face.
"But I love the way you look dripping wet!"
"Really? Well, thanks you don't look to bad yourself but I can't really tell since you got that towel wrapped around you," he said as he grabbed the towel and wraped it around himself.
"Hey! No fair!" Meg cried.
"Well you know the view is a lot nicer now."
"Please AJ! Give it back! I'm cold!"
"I can see that."
"So then can you please let me have it too. We can share OK?"
"That's not a bad idea," he said wrapping his arms around her.
"AJ? Can I ask you something?"
"Yea?"
"Do you consider this just a fling or something else?"
"What do you mean?"
"Like, when we kiss do you get this feeling?"
"Yea, sometimes. What are you trying to say?"
Meg took a deep breath. "I'm not sure if you feel the same but I've never felt like this before about someone else."
"Really?"
"AJ admit it. This isn't just like an average spring fling right?"
"Yea but i never said anything to you because I had no idea if you felt the same way."
"Well I do."
"Then I'm really, really happy right now," he told her as he kissed her tenderly.
Meg looked down and giggled,"I can see that." Then she smiled wickedly and kissed him back.
