"C'mon Arica, we're going to be late," Arica's older sister, Amanda called up the stairs to her.
"I'm coming!!"
Amanda shook her head, annoyed. She pulled her new VANS on and grabbed her keys.
"I'm leaving without you!!" Amanda screamed stepping outside and slamming the door.
Arica hurried down the stairs, "Amanda? Mand?" She looked around, "Where are you??" She locked the door and walked outside as her sister was pulling out of the drive way.
"WAIT!" Arica ran to the car while Amanda laughed hysterically at the wheel.
"Very funny," Arica mumbled, opening the passanger side door and getting in.
"I thought so," Amanda giggled. She then proceeded to blare her new KoRn cd. Arica looked at her sister angrily and leaned against the window.
~Meanwhile~
"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Kevin asked his cousin Brian.
"It is a fabulous idea. Why wouldn't it be?" Brian slapped his cousin on the back.
"I don't know, Rok,"
"C'mon lighten up, Kev!" Kevin sighed and looked down at the brochure of Hawaii Brian had handed him.
"Everyone else agreed to this?" Kevin asked him suspiciously.
"YESSSSS!!!" Brian pulled two of Kevin's suitcases out and threw them on the bed.
"What the five of us need," Brian explained as he threw some of Kevin's shirts in one of the suitcases, "is a vacation. Same place so it's easier for the body gaurds, but a place that's peaceful enough for us to have our own privacy." With satisfaction he closed the suitcase. "Well?"
Slowly a smile broke and Kevin agreed, "When do we leave?"
"Tonight!" Brian squealed like a little kid who was getting ice cream after a dentist appointment.
"I heard the chicks are hot there!" Brian chuckled as Kevin looked at him dissaprovingly.
Kevin and his long-time girlfriend, Alicia, had just broken up, he was certainly not looking for anyone new. (But of course we all know love comes when you're not looking for it!)
~Hawaii~
"It wasn't my fault dad!" Arica exclaimed in the office of the resort her family owned.
"Who's was it?" Her father asked. She looked at Amanda for help, but she sat in the corner with a smirk.
"Listen, I know it hasn't been easy since we moved here, but we've gotta work together to keep this place together."
"Yes dad," Arica muttered.
She was from California, but when she was 16,her grandfather died leaving his resort to her father. Her father thought it'd be nice in Hawaii, so he moved them there that same month. Her mother had died long before she could remember and her brother had comitted suicide weeks before the move. Life was horrible. On top of it, her boyfriend, upon hearing that she was moving, broke up with her.
Her and her sister worked at the resort. In her opinion, it was going no where. The rooms had beautiful views of the sandy beaches and amazingly blue waters below. They were getting half of everything the rental places made so that wasn't bad. But as far as she was concerned, noone would miss the place if it were gone.
"Hey Arica,"
"Hey Scott," Scott was your average beach boy. Only in Hawaii for the surf and the girls. Scott was the type who got any girl he wanted, and he wanted Arica.
"Wanna go out tonight?" He asked her.
"Sure, who's my date?"
"Me!" He was astonished she didn't know he meant him.
"Oh well... Actually, I think I have to do something, sorry," She walked out of the room leaving Scott infuriated.
"Another day at the 'fabulous Harris Resort,'" she mumbled going to change.
~Hawaii, for some other people~
"This place," Nick paused. "Is phat!" He jumped on the bed. AJ laughed at him and put Brian's bag on the bed opposite Nick's.
"Why you carryin' Rok's stuff?" Nick asked.
"Cause' he's checkin us in," AJ piled the bags on Brian's bed and left to look for his room.
Howie and AJ shared a room, but Kevin got the King-Size Bed Single, seniority or something.
"Did you see her?" Brian asked referring to a barely bikini kinda girl who was headed up to her room.
Kevin barely looked up, "uh huh,"
"Kev! Yo, wake up." Kevin looked over and laughed.
"She was too skinny for me." Brian smiled.
The guys finally got settled in their rooms and agreed to do whatever (sleep) and meet in the dining room at 6:30.
"Spoiled brats," Arica muttered after the limo that held some boy band left. With towels in her arms she trudged up the stairs to meet the teeny-bopper heartthrobs.
"Who's it?" Nick yelled as Arica knocked on the door.
"Room service," she called sweetly. Nick paused the intense game of Mario Kart him and Brian were playing and unlocked the door.
"Here," She handed him 2 towels, "are your towels. Enjoy your stay." She immediately went into flirt mode, something she learned to do for bigger tips.
"Thanks." He smiled. He was checking her out. She was tan, about 5'7" with a nice body. In only her bikini top and cut-offs, Nick was happy she'd stopped by.
She turned to leave pissed that she didn't get a tip.
"Wait," He called. YES, $$!
"Hmmm?" She asked sweetly.
"Are you busy tonight?" Her sweetness faded.
"Yup, sorry," She turned and left.
"Yeah?" AJ answered the door sleepily.
"Sorry to disturb you, towels," She handed them over. AJ also checked out the young lady.
"No problem, lovely lady," She smiled and turned, then she rolled her eyes.
"Have a nice day," She walked out closing the door hard behind her.
"I'm afraid to go into this one," She mumbled to herself. She went to knock but heard something inside, she put her ear up to the door. She heard someone singing, it was beautiful.
"Room service." She knocked. The guy that opened the door was not at all what she expected. He was tall and looked older then the other guys. He had amazing eyes that seemed to go on forever and a build that she couldn't stop staring at.
"Yes?" He looked down at her.
"Towels," She managed.
"Thanks," He smiled.
"Uh-huh," She turned to leave.
"Hold on," He pulled his wallet out and handed her a twenty.
"Thanks." He smiled at her a little too long.
"Well, I uh, guess I should go." She mumbled.
"Yeah," He regained focus.
"Bye." she whispered.
"Bye..." She pulled the door almost closed before he said,
"I'm Kevin, by the way."
"Nice to meet you, I'm Arica." He smiled broadly.
"Nice to meet you, maybe I'll see you?" She nodded and closed the door.
