Decision Made

Steph and Hunter made it back to the house almost an hour before the beach party. By that time I had already got in the shower and was putting on my outfit, which consisted of a colorful bikini and a long towel wrapped around my waist. I put bouncy spiral curls in my hair and pinned a pink wild flower in it. I then applied a little make-up and placed a colorful lei around my neck. I then went down to Steph's room only to find her and Hunter making out.

"Oh…hey Ray Ray…" she said when she saw me looking at them.

I laughed, "Hey love birds, are you guys ready for this party?" I asked.

Hunter smiled, "Yep…let me go get the guys and we'll meet you ladies down there."

We nodded and watched as he left us alone. Steph immediately started giggling while telling me about her day with Hunter.

"He was such an amazing guy," she said. "I mean he showed me a new side of him that I never thought I would see."

"Well that's good Steph, I'm glad you had fun." I said.

She looked at me strangely, "So…how was your date?"

I shrugged trying to fight off the smile that was trying to peek through. "It was alright…we talked a little and then we went to play paintball…which I defeated him in."

She laughed, "Did he take it hard?"

"Of course he did, he actually wants a rematch."

"Are you going to give it to him?" she asked.

I sighed, "Yea,"

She looked at me as if something was wrong, "Are you sure that's all that happened? You look a little down about something."

I sighed not knowing if I should tell her the truth or not. She was my best friend and all, but I wasn't sure how she would react to me making out with the American badass and then nearly sleeping with him.

"It's nothing serious I promise. I just want to go to this party and have some fun…especially so I can get the sounds of Christy and Glenn out my head."

She laughed, "Yea I know what you mean, they were going at it when we walked into the house."

"Again?" I said. "Goodness I guess we won't be seeing them at the party."

She shrugged and brushed her long brown hair, "That's fine with me, I can't stand Christy anyway."

I agreed remembering the terrible fight I had with her. Lord only knows what will go down if she comes at me like that again.

"Alright girl, let's go shake our ass on the beach!" she said.

I laughed and followed her out of the room, only to bump into Hunter and Mark in the hallway.

"Are you ladies ready to go?" Mark asked.

We nodded and then headed out to the beach. The entire time we walked down there, I tried hard to avoid looking at Mark, but of course that didn't work. Every now and then I would catch him staring at me with a smirk on his face. I simply looked in another direction, hiding my smile from him.

The party was going full force when we got there. Steph and I got some drinks for ourselves and the guys before setting off to the dance floor. We took many pictures together including a few silly ones with myself and Hunter. Towards the middle of the party I had sat down for a little bit just to chill out. I was later joined by Mark, who looked a little buzzed.

"Hey kitty, what you doing over here by yourself?" he asked.

I shrugged, "Just sitting down for a little why?"

He took a sip of his Long Island Iced Tea, "I was just asking…you know you left me with a hard one in the hot tub…I was disappointed."

I rolled my eyes, "Look, I didn't mean for that to happen. You and I are just friends and that's how it will remain."

He chuckled, "is that right? Well I'm willing to bet that if I were The Rock…it would be a completely different story."

"And just what the hell is that suppose to mean?" I snapped, starting to sense that he was trying to get under my skin. "Mark I think you need to watch what your saying before something bad happens to you."

He laughed, "Now was that suppose to scare me kitten? You know you're going to have to try harder to get to me."

I didn't know where it came from but I snapped…With all of my energy, I reached across the table and slapped him across the face. I then got up and headed towards the beach house. I was so done with him acting like that towards me and if he really wanted me, he would have to try ten times harder to get on my good side. At this point I wasn't even sure if I wanted to be his friend. The man annoyed me so much.

As soon as I got up to the house, I went straight up to my room and locked myself in. I then got on the phone and called my male best friend, Dwayne.

"Hello?" he said.

I sighed, "Hey…can you do me a favor?"

"Sure sweetie anything you want." he said.

I smiled slightly, "Can you pick me up at the airport in about two hours…"

"Of course, but I thought-"

"-I'll explain when I get there ok?" I said.

"no problem kitty," he said. "See you in two hours then."

I smiled, "Thanks Rocky,"

"You're welcome,"

Once I hung up, I quickly packed my stuff and then wrote Steph a note telling her I was leaving and that I would see her when she got home. I knew she would be mad, but I just had to get away from this place…but most of all…I needed to get away from him.
