"Have I ever told you how cute you look in your swimsuit?" Drew murmured in Madison's ears.

"Whatever," she said, looking down at her simple orange two piece bathing suit. But inside, she did feel flattered and happy that at last, she's having her boyfriend all to herself.

After the parasailing activity, they all had headed back to the house for lunch and chilled out by the porch, just talking about their childhood days. But it was already afternoon and the group had dispersed into doing their own things. Drew convinced Madison to sneak out and try out his favorite smoothie stand.

They were seated on one of the tables nearby with an umbrella to cover them from the heat.

Madison lifted her sunglasses to her head and sipped on her glass of chocolate shake. She could not take her eyes off her boyfriend in a white shirt and beach shorts who was giving her a loving look. Somehow, she's relieved that Ellie had to go for a while since her agent was looking for her.

"Hey there!"

This can't be happening, Madison thought with a groan as she looked around and saw the approaching figure that's too familiar to her already.

"I hope I'm not interrupting," Ellie said, smiling.

"We're actually kind of having a private moment here," Drew responded with a little annoyance in his voice.

Hearing his statement made Madison a little embarrassed for the girl. "No it's okay, we're just having shakes and smoothie."

She resisted from saying 'would you like to join us?' just so Ellie could at least get that they do not want to be interrupted in a subtle and nice way.

"Oh my favorite!" Ellie exclaimed. "I'm going to order mine. Well, I'm supposed to be on diet but what the heck, just this once."

With the model completely out of earshot, Madison gave Drew a knowing look who shrugged.

"I didn't know it was her favorite too," he explained, apparently guessing his girlfriend's thoughts. "And you didn't have to be so inviting to her."

"Well there's nothing I can do now since you decided to invite your old friend to our vacation. I wouldn't want to be rude to her, would I?" she answered with acid in her voice.

His mouth was set on a grim line as if he wanted to argue more but decided against it.

Sensing what 's about to happen, Madison stood up. "Drew, I think I'll go back to the house," she said.

"Maddie…" Drew said softly. "Are you having a wild imagination again?"

A sigh escaped from her mouth, easily understanding what he meant. But she shrugged it off and gave him a shaky smile. "Look, I know things had not been really great with you and Ellie. Maybe this is the time to work things out and leave the past behind."

Somehow, she knew that she did the feel that there really was that necessity for the former couple to tie up all the loose ends. But a part of her was scared on how that may affect on relationship with Drew.

Drew stood up with a gentle smile on her face. He came closer to Madison and slowly wrapped his arms around her. She hugged back.

"I'm so lucky to have such an understanding girlfriend like you," he murmured, kissing her forehead.

She felt like melting with how sincere his voice was when he said it. When she saw Ellie returning to their table, she finally pulled away, she gave him a last reassuring smile and walked away.

As the distance between her and Drew lengthened, a sudden dread slowly overpowered her. It was a fear of the possibility that she may lose him. But then she reminded herself that she should trust him. And she did trust him so there should nothing to be afraid of.

A genuine smile was gradually creeping back to her face, as she walked along the sandy path along the house. She gazed by the water, the soft waves and the blueness of it giving her the sense of calm that she needed.

When her glance caught the figure of the glass house, her eyes did not miss the two figures by the porch: a slender woman who was definitely Aimee and the muscular male was most probably Jose. They seemed to be laughing and it was obvious that Aimee was putting all her charms. After some time, Jose seemed to be leaving with Aimee waving her hand.

"Ola," the Mexican greeted with a salute as he passed by Madison.

The brown-haired girl returned her attention to her blond friend who was squirming from giddiness.

"So I see you're out to catch some fish in the sea," Madison teased.

Aimee rolled her eyes. "So I see some other fisherman stole your fish from you," she countered which made her friend frown. "Oh lighten up, I'm just kidding. It's just surprising to see you alone."

Madison shrugged. "You got me. I left Drew with Ellie."

"What? Why did you do that?"

"Just so they could patch up all the bitterness and all."

"Well, I hope that's all they'll have to patch up."

With a roll of her eyes, Madison headed inside the house. But before she could get inside, an unexpected form went out of the door that made the two friends jaw drop.

"Lindsay?"

"Surprise!" the new comer greeted with a wide smile on her face.

It was surprising how much Lindsay Frost had changed ever since they all departed for college. She had lost weight and her hair was cut short. To the four friends, Lindsay had been the one who was seldom present in their reunions.

"You look great!" Madison gushed, hugging her friend.

As Lindsay pulled away from their hug, the sudden worry was evident on her face. "I know we should be catching up now but you've got to come with me."

The three girls hurriedly went inside, with Lindsay on the lead. They went up towards the girl's room. Upon opening the door, they were surprised to see Fiona sobbing on Vicky's shoulder.
