Chapter 10: It seems so simple I just have To Go

"Kelly," Tyler ran over to her on the beach where she was sitting on the beach in Cancun reading, "Here," He handed her a drink. She smiled and took a sip. "You've been really quiet since we got here," He settled in next to her and started to kiss her.

"Mm, just let me finish this chapter," She pulled away. He looked at her. "I promise when I do, it'll be worth your while." He leaned over and kissed her again. "Ty, please?"

"OK," He said, "But you better make it up to me." She giggled, "Love you."

"Love you too," She said as he walked away. She did love him, she thought, but then she looked out over the water and saw Scooter and Janet splashing each other which lead to him picking her up and her wrapping her legs around him to make out. She wasn't in love like that.

"Kel," Rick sat down next to her, "What did you tell Kidman you'd do?" She looked at him. "Because he just came to the bar and was," She looked sternly at him. "I'm just saying, I don't trust him."

"You don't trust anyone when it comes to me," She shook her head, he looked at her. "You don't! I could be going out with Scooter and you'd still be all paranoid. Do you trust me?"

"Not particularly no," He shook his head. She rolled her eyes and laughed. "You're still young Kelly and not always in the best shape you know emotionally."

"Rick, I'm fine," She said softly. "I mean, I miss her, but I'm fine, most days."

"It's the other days that get me worried." He sighed. She hugged him. "Jamaica was better."

"I like it here better," She laughed, "No one's trying to sell me ganja, the water's nicer," He laughed.

"Hey you two," Scooter and Janet walked over, "What have you got Kelly?"

"Um, Orwell," She said.

"1984?" He asked sitting down.

"No," She shook her head, "Animal Farm."

"Cool," He nodded. "I was reading The Bell Jar on the way down. It was on your list so,"

"Scooter," Jane whined, "I want to go to the bar baby!"

"So go to the bar," He shrugged. She sighed and stomped off. Rick looked at him. "She's so weird sometimes."

"She wanted you to take her," Kelly laughed. He looked at her. "That's what the little hissy was about."

"Really?" He said, "Shit, I'm going to be in trouble."

"At least you have a girlfriend," Rick said. "I'm getting zip action on this trip." He took Kelly's drink and finished it.

"Hey!" She squeaked.

"You're too little to drink," He said, pointing at her. "You're not even sixteen yet." He stood up and she rolled her eyes. Scooter laughed. "I'll let you two nerd out about whatever you were reading."

"How you doing?" Scooter asked. She looked at him and shrugged. "You and Tyler seem good."

"We are," She nodded. "What did you think of Sylvia?"

"I think she had some good insights about people," He said. "I see why you liked it." She looked at him. "She's a lot like you," She looked at him, "Esther, beautiful, doesn't let her problems out." Kelly looked at him. "You OK?"

"If one more person asks me that," She stands up.

"We're worried about you," He said.

"I'm fine Scooter," She said, "Really, I'm happy. School's great, and I have Ty, and Cotillion and I'm really good."

"Whatever you say nerd," He shrugged and stood up. "Remember, four legs good, two legs bad."

"Go bug your girlfriend," She kicked sand at him.

That night Rick walked out on the beach and saw Cassie sitting looking out at the ocean.

"Hey," She whispered.

"Hey," He smiled and sat down next to her.

"How are you?" She asked. He looked at her, "Last time we talked you were not in good shape."

"I'm better," He laughed, "Thanks for listening."

"What are friends for." She smiled. He nodded. "You tickle." He looked at her oddly. "When we were doing body shots earlier, and you were working off my stomach, it tickled, your tongue, it tickles." He laughed and looked at the water. "I miss her too, you know."

"I know," He said, "That's why I knew I could call you." He looked at her, and she smiled. "Do you want to go swimming?"

"Now?" She said.

"Yeah," He shrugged. "Why not?"

"It's one AM, there are no lifeguards and we've been drinking," She said, "Those are pretty good reasons."

"I'm getting in that water," He jumped up and started running.

"Ricky!" She followed him, "Wait!" She shed her tee shirt and jean shorts before she realized she wasn't wearing a swim suit. She wasn't even wearing a bra. She closed her eyes and pulled her panties off. "Lose the trunks!" He looked at her.

"No," He shook his head. "Although I'm enjoying the view."

"Come on please," She said, "If I have to skinny dip, so do you!" He laughed and dropped his swim trunks. "Oh baby."

"Nothing you haven't seen before," he chuckled and dove under the waves.

"You were six," She laughed and swam over to him, "It's a little different now." He laughed. "Ricky," She whispered feeling his hand rest on her hip. She kissed him.

"Cassie, baby," He shook his head. He didn't know what was wrong with him. He wanted her. But it was Cassie. He couldn't cross that line with her, because if he ever did, it would have to be real, and he didn't want real at this point in his life. "We can't."

"Of course not," She said, "I was just fooling around." She started to swim to shore.

"Cass," He followed her, seeing her pull her clothes back on. "I'm sorry."

"Rick, it's nothing," She said, "I should get to bed anyway." She marched up to her and Allie's hotel room and saw the do not disturb sign and then heard Allie's orgasmic giggle from the other side of the door. She sighed and got the elevator to the main party suite. She dodged the people and got into the bathroom. She pulled out the tiny bag of coke she'd been holding on to and laid out some on the counter. If she was numb maybe she wouldn't feel so humiliated.

Janet giggled laying back on her bed as Scooter climbed over on top of her.

"What were you and Kelly talking about before?" She asked as he kissed her neck.

"Nothing," He shook his head, "It's not important." She looked up at him. "We just do this thing where we read books and then talk about them."

"Why don't you do that with me?" She asked, he sighed. The sex was obviously not happening so he rolled off of her.

"Because I do it with Kelly," He shrugged. "She's smart, it's fun."

"I'm smart," Janet said, not sure if he had said something offensive or not.

"Oh of course you are baby," He laughed and kissed her. "I didn't mean you weren't."

"I just don't understand why you have to spend so much time with Kelly Riley," She said. "I'm your girlfriend."

"Yes," He groaned, "You've made that abundantly clear for the past few months." She looked at him.

"What is that supposed to mean?" She said her jaw dropped.

"It means," He looked at her, "That I'm tired, and I don't feel like doing this." She looked at him. "Janet."

"You don't want to be with me," She whispered pulling back and coming to the realization.

"Baby," He reached for her, and she pulled away, "That's not what I meant."

"Yes it is!" She whimpered, trying not to cry in front of him. "Get out."

"It's my room," He said, still not understanding exactly what was happening.

"Whatever, I'll get out," She stood up and pulled her clothes on and left.

"Janet!" He called after her. He sighed and started to get dressed to go after her.

Kelly stood out on the balcony of the suite, just taking a minute away from the chaos of the party.

"Hey there," Tyler came out and kissed her. "I was wondering where you disappeared to."

"I just don't feel like partying," She said softly. He kissed her again. "Ty," She whimpered. "Mm, Ty, don't." She whispered as he leaned her down on the chair.

"You told me you'd make it worth my while," He whispered and kissed her. She squirmed, "Kelly, it's OK."

"I'm just not there," She whispered. He kissed her. "Give me time?" He nodded. "Go back to the party, have fun. Don't let me bring you down." She kissed him softly. "I'll come see you later?"

"OK," He walked back inside and nodded. She looked back out over the water and closed her eyes.

"Hey," She turned and saw Scooter holding two Coronas, "Beer?" She laughed and took one.

"What's wrong?" She asked softly.

"I think Janet and I broke up," He said and shrugged.

"You think?" She asked. He nodded. "Don't you know?"

"Alright ringing affirmative," He laughed, "I broke up with Janet."

"Does Janet know this?" Kelly asked. He nodded. "OK then." She stood for a second. "Tyler wants to sleep with me tonight." Scooter spit out his drink. "Sorry, TMI?"

"No," He said, "No," He sighed and laughed, "Yeah, kind of."

"I know, I'm sorry," She said, "I just, I know you're Rick's friend, not mine, but I need someone to talk to, and it can't be him."

"Hey," He hugged her, "I'm your friend too. If this year's shown us anything, it's that. So, unload on me."

"I don't know," She sighed and sat down. "I think I love him, but I don't know. I mean, I can't really talk to Tyler about anything. Not like," She laughed, "Well, not like you." He looked at her and she laughed, "I'm sorry, that sounds crazy. I mean, you and me, but, I just,"

"Kelly," He smiled and lifted her chin, "I like spending time with you, but you're Rick's little sister, and you have a boyfriend, and I am clearly not the boyfriend type,"

"Scooter, I wasn't saying," She shook her head, "I just wish I could talk to Ty the way I talk to you." He smiled and kissed her on the cheek.

"So, do you want to know what I think?" He asked. She nodded. "I think that if you have doubts about Tyler Kidman, you should give yourself time."

"Really?" She whispered. He nodded. "Is that what Rick told you to say?"

"No," He laughed. "Rick told me that if you brought it up I should try to convince you to buy a chastity belt." She laughed. "Come on," He stood up. "We'll walk on the beach and you can tell me what you think of Orwell."

"OK," She nodded. She took his hand helping her up.
