“How are we going to share? Who sleeps with who?” I asked, looking at the receptionist lady.
The receptionist lady replied, “You decide, I mean you are all friends.”
“So, guys, how are we going to share, the rooms?” Aaron asked.
“We don’t even know you guys, and we are 10, in a group of five, five.” Lana stated, with unpleasant look.
We heard the receptionist lady calling out Michael, and we all followed Michael to her.
“There’s one available, but it’s expensive. The couple who made the reservations, called and cancelled just now,” she stated while glaring at us.
“I can take it.” I answered, with the excitement.
The room it’s for Erich, I don’t imagine anyone sharing a room with Erich, I mean there are only three girls here, and Lana will definitely share a room with Rose. As long as Erich will be comfortably alone. Or it’s the jealous doing the talking!
“Oh! You don’t care about knowing the price first?” the receptionist asked, with a smile.
“No, I’m just happy that, there’s an available room.” I answered, with a very convincing smile.
She handed me the accessing card after making the payment. I was happy.

Aaron sharing a room with Eddie. Aaron chose Eddie because to him, he’s a sweet, calm and he’s neat also. Chris is with Michael. Toni, with Edward.

Erich she let her hair to fall down to her shoulders, while she’s in her swimming suit, she put on simple water proof make up, I mean she already saw that Nathan he’s already into him, and he can see that Nathan thinks that he’s a girl. And he’s already into Nathan from the first day their eyes met. It really scares him, that Nathan will lose interests if he realize that he’s not a girl, and it surprise him, that Nathan’s friends haven’t said anything to Nathan about that. Erich took his camera to the swimming pool side, because he wants to take pictures and send them to his parents.
“Are you okay?” I asked Erich who seemed to be having a panic attack.
“Yes, I am, thank you,” she said with unsure face.
I just stood there, looking at Erich, who is walking away. The swimming suit she’s wearing, fit him immensely. She’s wearing a short, it’s very short, showing all her thighs showing, and with that a jealous began to blossom inside me, with her low crop top, showing her slim belly. God! How will I contain myself from this, I was there biting my lower lip with my wild thoughts, until I felt a strong hand on my left shoulder. I didn’t like the distraction; I was actually enjoying myself.
“Are you okay, man? You’ve been standing here, on the passage alone for a while.” Edward asked, and stated, holding his phone on his hand. I think he wants to dial Aaron.
***
Erich sees Nathan by the lobby with Edward buying drinks for everyone. He couldn’t take his away from Nathan, seeing Nathan in his white tank tee; that reveals his biceps, triceps, more skin and a black short, it made him to lose a grip on his phone and experience some fluttering in his stomach. Who couldn’t!
We went to the swimming pool side, and Erich was sitting on a chair, I went to seat by her side. Edward inside a pool with Rose, while Lana having, greened-eyed monster on Edward.
“Why are you guys always following us?” Erich asking while looking at Nathan.
“I don’t know also, I guess we just can’t stay away from you guys.” I stated, with a small smirk on my face.
“Well, it’s creepy, don’t you think?” she stated, while sipping her orange juice.
“Yeah, it also scares me, it’s like you are my magnet,” I said that while turning my body to face her.
***
That gave Erich some knots in her stomach; that she nearly chokes by her drink.
“How am I a magnet to you?” she asked, while clearing her throat.
“It’s unexplainable, don’t you want us to be here?” I asked, with a glare.
“I’m not complaining.” She stated firmly.
“Awesome,” I said.
We sat there and talk for a while. While Toni his with Aaron, and again Michael looking at Eddie, whilst Eddie, he’s by the pool fluttering his toes inside the pool, with no shirt on, Michael he’s at the left side of Eddie.
“Do you like orange that much? I asked, while walking with Erich, who was busy drinking her juice none stop.
We got tired by sitting there at the swimming pool and decided to take a walk.
“Yes, I would die for them.” She stated.
“I see, I always see you with a juice in your hand, and that night, it was a cake.” I stated.
“How about you, Mr. Grape?” she asked, with a little smile appearing on her face. I love her smile.
“Ohoo, you noticed that I love grapes, Miss Orange?” I asked while having a small laughter. My heart was fluttering with joy.
“Yes, who wouldn’t, seeing you all the time, at the store picking the whole pack of them,” she said, with a huge laughter.
We found a swing chair, a huge one. We went there and sat. Erich sat apart from me, and I didn’t like that, but I understood if I make her a little uncomfortable.
***
Michael decided to go to the lobby for a drink, he suddenly stops walking when he saw Eddie alone on a chair by the counter drinking his drink, but Eddie stood up to Aaron who just came in, and they both went outside together. Michael’s body became rigid for a moment.
I was sitting with Erich, and saw her phone flashes, and bleep. She flipped it to check whose texting her, and she read the message out loud.
“Lana just asked where I am. And I told her.” She spoke. And I really didn’t want any disturbance with her, it was my time to be with her.
“Sorry, Nathan for disturbing your time with Erich.” Chris said, with a devilish smile, and laughter.
“No problem, I will leave to check on my friends,” I stated with a disappointment voice, hoping Erich will chase: Chris, Lana and Michael away from us.
“No, don’t leave. Guys, I will see you inside.” She said it, I couldn’t believe my ears I was so happy.
***
Michael he’s worried that Erich should tell Nathan that he’s a guy gay, not a girl. Michael he’s a close friend to Erich amongst their friends, he’s more of a brother to Erich. He always makes sure that Erich he’s okay all the time. They all notice that Nathan thinks Erich is a girl, and they are waiting for Erich to tell Nathan.
***
Aaron pushed Eddie unintentionally to sit next to Michael, who was so focused on the movie, inside the cinema room, they were sitting on the pillows on the floor. They all are watching a horror movie in the same room. Eddie miraculously touched Michael’s hand, and Michael felt his heartbeat quickening by the action, he suddenly felt heat all over his body. Michael moved his hand away from Eddie’s, and himself out of the room rapidly, and with Michael’s action it made Eddie to question himself if Michael hates him because he’s gay, or what is actually wrong.
“Why this movie though? Now Michael left the room because it’s not even close to be frightening,” Aaron stated while crunching his popcorns.
“Just shut up, or leave if you don’t want to be here,” Chris answered, with annoyed voice.
I was sitting at the back with Erich, and I felt her hand touching my thigh, and that was it. I was honestly not concentrating on the movie from the beginning, but on Erich’s scent, it was very intoxicating. I made my way to her lips, and she flinched, and ran away from the room.
