I Do Not Own DeGrassi

Ch. 35 Disquiet Dissention

(ELI)

"We're only locked in because of you!" He barked at Drew.

Drew turned around glaring at Eli, his face was hard, his eyes narrowed and they were locked in what appeared to be a janitor's closet. It was all of three feet by three feet and had shelves with cleaning agents and brooms and mops and other such things.

"BECAUSE OF ME?!" Drew yelled, the vein on his forehead popping out. "You pushed me! What the fuck is your problem? Yesterday you told Clare to spend time alone with me and I thought you were finally accepting that we were together and this morning you're all rude to all of us and then you freak out and push me! And don't tell me it's because you have haven't had your meds yet. I may not be smart but I know that's not the reason." Drew said calming down just a tiny bit.

Eli could not calm down he just kept picturing Drew using all of the sex toys he brought on a hand cuffed and bound Clare, and in his mind it was against her will. "I was okay with it, almost, mostly," he sort of mumbled through clenched teeth, "UNTIL I SAW THE THINGS YOU MAKE HER DO! I'll never understand what she sees in you!" He seethed and then no longer able to control himself reeled back and punched Drew in the cheek, just hitting the nearly healed bruise on his jaw.

Drew was knocked back by the punch and fell into the shelves knocking over a few bottles of wood polish and some rags, none of the bottles opened and spilled but they did hit Drew on the back and he made a grunting sound. Eli smirked but Drew recovered quickly using one hand to push himself away from the shelves he had his fist ready to punch, there was a ripping sound as he moved forward, his fist landing near Eli's eye. Eli started falling backwards and grabbed Drew's shirt impulsively, there was another ripping sound and they both fell to the floor.

Eli's back hit with a hard thud and Drew landing on top of him knocked his breath away for just a second. Eli wheezed and Drew moved himself off of Eli but Eli wasn't done yet, he recovered enough to catch Drew's leg sending him crashing into the shelves. Drew managed to catch himself on his hands, but he still sent things tumbling everywhere and knocking him on the arms and back. By this time Eli had recovered to the point that he could stand again, he got up grabbing Drew hard on the arm and digging his fingers into him. He turned Drew around, Drew used his hand to take a firm hold of Eli's shirt however and was able to push Eli back the few steps into the corner of one shelf. It dug into Eli's sore back and Eli inadvertently let out a pained groan. The shelf he hit was filled with scrub brushes and they fell down hitting and scratching Eli's exposed skin. Eli used his other hand to grab Drew's shirt now, using his leg strength to lean away from the shelves, ready to push Drew back again. There was a ripping sound and Eli felt his own shirt getting ripped, they were glaring daggers at each other, each seemed perfectly ready and willing to kill the other and then the door opened!

(ADAM)

"They should be back by now Adam." Clare said with evident worry in her voice as she finished her last bit of waffle. "It shouldn't be taking Eli so long to get his meds and Drew never even said where he was going but he should be back."

"I'm sure they're fine, they'll be back in a minute I mean they both left nearly full plates of food." Adam assured her, scarfing down the last of his bacon by wrapping it in the last of his pancake.

"That's my point they were both hungry, well Drew was anyway, Eli was pensive and something was bothering him. I just know something's wrong, I'm going to go look for them." Clare said with a resolute tone.

"Hang on I'm coming too." Adam said taking one more sip of orange juice and getting up from the table.

He was still fairly certain that they were both fine but Clare was worried. They left the restaurant and started walking down the hall. The hall was fairly empty; most everyone was either eating or in a more interesting part of the ship but there was a small group of people gathered near a door. From behind the door came thumping and crashing noises. It almost sounded like sounds from the engine room but they were too high up for it to be the engine room. Clare went over, pushing her way past the people and opened the door, revealing Drew and Eli obviously in the middle of another fight. They both had scratches, red marks that would be bruises and both their shirts were ripped in the back. Clare looked shocked, then horrified and finally indignant. Drew and Eli had been staring daggers at each other but when the door opened and they saw Clare their faces relaxed, they didn't let go of each other though.

"Clare…" they both started at once.

Now she was staring daggers at them. "I don't want to hear it!" She snapped at them, throwing up her arms in annoyance and stopping them both from talking. "You two can kill each other; I'm going to the pool! Adam give me your key." Her tone was fierce and laced with annoyance and anger. Adam handed her his key without thinking about it, she turned and charged down the hallway before anyone could stop her.

Finally Drew and Eli let go of each other, fighting to get out of the doorway first and go after her, Adam stood in front of them.

"You two go eat, people will be watching so no killing each other! I'll go after her, I'm not sure she wants to talk to either of you right now." Adam told them, taking their arms and pulling Drew and then Eli from the doorway and gently pushing them back toward the dining room. By now the other people that had gathered were starting to disperse, Eli and Drew stood there staring down the hallway where Clare had stalked off a moment ago. "Go, both of you!" Adam ordered in more austere and authoritative voice.

Drew sighed heavily, turned around and started walking back to the dining room.

"I actually do need my meds." Eli said.

"I'll get them and bring them to you, give me your room key I gave mine to Clare." He requested, Eli took his room key from his pocket and handed it to Adam. "Thanks now go eat and don't fight with Drew while you're eating." Adam insisted.

"Yeah but he…" Eli started but Adam cut him off.

"I don't care, just go eat and don't talk. I'll be back in a few minutes and if you two are lucky Clare will talk to you both again." Adam persisted, shooing Eli along before he turned and headed for their cabin.

He figured Clare had to return to the cabin to change into a swimsuit before going to the pool; anyway he needed to get Eli's pills so he was going to start at the cabin. He walked pretty fast and even having to wait for the elevator made it to the cabin in less than five minutes. He unlocked the door with his key and went in just in time to see Clare emerge from the washroom and he froze. She was wearing sandals and a swimsuit, if you could even call it that! It was midnight blue but kind of shimmered, the bottom covered all the important parts but was held together by two silver rings, one at each hip bone, sexy but not too bad the top however was what Adam couldn't tear his eyes away from and he was trying very very hard. It tied behind her back and neck and was the same color as the bottom, but the portion that was supposed be covering her boobs was two triangles of fabric, small triangles. The triangles were held together in the center, bottom portion of her boobs by another silver ring, making for lack of a better term, a peek-a-boo hole to her cleavage.

"You're not walking through the ship like that!" He exclaimed. It sort of just came out he hadn't even realized he'd said the words till he heard them.

She looked at him and blinked. "It's my swimsuit and I'm going to the pool. Alli helped me pick out special for this trip." She shrugged.

"Clare…it…you…" He stumbled over his words. She was his best friend, he knew she was attractive but he had never seen her in that light but if he was having trouble looking away he knew other guys would do worse.

His male mind knew just how horrid male minds could be especially when the sight before them was as appealing as the sight of her currently. He really didn't want her walking around attracting unwanted attention and dirty thoughts from the better portion of males on the ship; because male minds really have very little control. She growled a little went to the washroom and came back wearing a hoodie that she was zipping up.

"Better?" She asked but didn't wait for a response, simply pushed past him and walked out of the room.

For a few seconds Adam was frozen and then he could think again; he went to Eli's nightstand, which was technically the end table for the sofa, and got Eli's pills. Then he left the room and ran for the dining room, waiting impatiently at the elevator. The elevator ride seemed to take forever as other people got on and off and all he could think about was Clare going to the pool with other teenage boys in that thing she called a swimsuit. Finally the elevator reached the right floor and he ran top speed all the way to the dining room. Drew and Eli were sitting at the table again, eating and staring daggers at each other once more but they weren't fighting at least. Adam ran over skidding to halt at the table and tossing Eli his meds.

"Take them and lets go." Adam said between panting breaths before grabbing Drew's glass of orange juice and chugging the rest of it down.

"Dude you didn't need to run." Eli commented giving Adam a curious look before he swallowed the pills.

Adam pulled Drew by the arm to get him up from the table. "Bro trying to eat." Drew said stuffing his bite of sausage in his mouth.

"No time." Adam insisted, going around and pulling Eli up from the table.

"Adam what? Is Clare super pissed at us?" Eli inquired.

Adam nodded, going back and pulling at his brother again. "Clare…swimsuit…getting hit on…need to go now." Adam was stumbling over his words but between running as fast as he could and the image of Clare in the swimsuit that wouldn't leave his head he was less than coherent currently.

Clare was the magic word as Drew finally got up and started following him back to the cabin.

"Dude what the hell are you talking about?" Drew questioned.

"She…she…we just need to get to the pool, trust me. You'll see for yourself." Adam told them really not sure what else to tell them.

They went back to the cabin and Adam pushed Drew in to the washroom as he told Eli to change for the pool. Adam closed the main washroom door, grabbed his board shorts and a dark t-shirt and went into the second part of the washroom closing the door behind him to change. When he came out of the washroom, Drew was ready for the pool, he wasn't wearing a shirt but he had board shorts on. They left the washroom and Eli was also ready, Adam grabbed the room key that Clare had left on her nightstand and gave it to Eli so they all had a room key once again and they left the room.

"So why are we rushing to the pool?" Eli inquired when they were in the elevator, both of them were confused but they seemed to have forgotten all about their fight a short time ago.

"Because Clare went to the pool alone in a…a…swimsuit sort of thing and I guarantee you she's going to get hit on and attracting attention that none of us want her to have." Adam grumbled.

The elevator dinged and they stepped out, walking down the hallway and turning a corner to the teenage only pool. The pool was technically in doors, in a very large room, but it had a glass ceiling with a sun roof that was currently open but could be closed. There were dozens of teenagers spread out in the room, some in the pool, most of them lounging around the sides. Adam saw lots of girls, some wearing quite modest swimsuits others wearing tiny bikinis but he did not see Clare. Then he heard her giggle, he'd know it anywhere, following the sound he saw a group of about six guys, circled around something at the edge of the pool; like a pack of wolves encircling their prey. Two of the guys were Tony and Don, the friends they had made last night, who were currently being too friendly with Clare as Tony's hand was resting on her knee. He was able to make out now that Clare seemed to be perched on the side of the pool, kicking her leg in the water gently between two other boys who were in the pool. He still couldn't see her face, she must have been leaning back effectively hiding her behind the other boys, but Adam knew it was her.

"I don't see her." Said Drew.

"Me either." Added Eli.

"She's there at the edge of the pool with Tony and Don." Adam said pointing.

(DREW)

He looked around but didn't see Clare, or any girls for that matter; oh he knew there were other girls in there, he could see guys with happy looks on their faces as they watched the girls in what he presumed to be sexy swimsuits. Plus there were a few small huddles of guys surrounding, he assumed, a girl or two but they just didn't register in Drew's brain. He wasn't lying when he told Clare he didn't even look at other girls, because when it came to her it was like he had blinders on to every other girl. If other girls were right in front of him for a few minutes eventually they registered with his brain but for the most part, she was the only girl in existence to him.

"I don't see her." Drew said after a minute of looking around.

"Me either." Eli said sounding just as worried as Drew. Well they agreed on one thing anyway.

"She's there at the edge of the pool with Tony and Don." Adam said pointing.

Drew followed Adam's finger to see not only Tony and Don, but four or five other guys huddled around his Clare. He didn't need to see her face to know it was her, he saw her leg, he recognized her leg, her porcelain skin, he had spent much time kissing and touching said skin and he knew it was her. Now he heard her voice, able to pick out finally from the other noises of the pool. All the boys gathered around his Clare were wearing about the same look of pleased desire, like she was a giant cake or like she'd just popped out of giant cake. All but one were only looking though; Tony whom they had met last night and who knew she was taken had his hand on her knee and Clare didn't seem to mind or at least she wasn't removing it.

"We need to get her away from them!" Drew said getting angry again but no longer angry at Eli, in this situation at least he knew Eli was his ally.

"I think we can push those two guys in the back out of the way; at least enough for you to get in and pull her up, so we can get her out of there." Eli said to Drew.

"Good plan." Drew nodded.

"Works for me." Adam agreed.

The three of them of walked over to the group, Eli and Adam each took one of the boys in the back of the group and pulled their arms hard enough that they moved. Drew used the opening to step in behind Clare, she was leaning back on her hands and one of the boys was flirting with her. Linking his arms under her arm pits Drew lifted her up to her feet, from the corner of his eye he saw Tony and a couple of the other guys get surprised expressions on their faces, a few of the others started asking what he was doing but Drew didn't care. She was only on her feet for a second before he bent down and picked her up, one of his arms under her knees, the other around her back. Her arms automatically linked around his neck but she was grimacing at him, she looked past him and kept the grimace on her face so he guessed she was looking at Eli.

"Didn't kill each other after all I see." She said sardonically.

Now he grimaced at her, he walked away from the boys seeing a semi private corner with two lounge chairs, behind a potted palm tree he was pretty sure was fake. He heard footsteps behind him and knew it was Adam and Eli which was fine with him. He set her down between the two lounge chairs and she was still grimacing at him.

"What were you…" he stopped mid-sentence when he saw her swimsuit or lack thereof.

Now he knew why Adam had been so insistent on them getting to the pool so fast and why she'd been surrounded by boys. Her bikini was very sexy and looked amazing on her, just the sight was turning him on and he was more than happy. He was also jealous and displeased not just that everyone else could see her like that but that she had come alone to the pool, wearing that bikini and being the smart girl she was knowing just how the guys would react and the type of attention she would get without he, Adam or Eli to keep the guys away.

"Okay we got you out…" Eli was saying as he came up to them and then stopped when he was finally able to see her. She was now standing with her hand on her hip and giving the three of them a slightly devilish smile. "What are you…you wearing?" Eli demanded, choking the out sentence in a tone that was somewhere between protective and lustful.

Drew really couldn't blame him though, he didn't particularly want her ex to see this much of her but he would rather Eli be gaping at her than those other horny dogs.

"It's my new bikini, you like? Everyone else seems to." She chirped as she lay out in one of the lounge chairs, leaning back with one knee bent.

She was doing this on purpose she was trying to irk him, to get him angry and probably jealous and it was working. It wasn't solely directed at him as she gave Eli the same look and Drew was pretty sure she was succeeding in getting at Eli too. Drew was currently at a loss for words so he sat on the lounge chair at her feet. Eli and Adam sat down on the other lounge chair both looking at Clare and none of them seemed to be able to speak or at least they didn't know what to say.

"That's not a swimsuit!" Drew finally managed, through clenched teeth.

"Well of course it is love, I bought it from the swimsuit section, it's a swimsuit would you like to see me swim in it?" She questioned, her voice was light, teasing and also flirty.

She stood up to walk to the pool again but only made it a couple of steps before all three of them grabbed her and pulled her back. Drew tried to pull her to his lap but she pushed herself off of him, lying back in the lounge chair again.

"You bought it at what store?" Adam queried.

A mischievous smile spread across her lips. "Victoria's Secret." She informed them, then her smile faded a bit. "I bought it for Drew but as you were a little busy trying to kill my ex I thought I'd see how everyone else liked it." She quipped.

"You knew exactly how everyone else would like it." Eli said crossly.

She gave them an impish smile and a wink. "So." She shrugged.

"You were flirting!" Drew accused.

She glowered at him again. "They were flirting I was sitting by the pool, they came to me. Anyway I thought I might be single and down a best friend soon as you two seem bound and determined to kill each other. Thought I'd come see what my potential prospects were." She spat, her tone dripping with venom and the words cut into Drew like a knife.

"We weren't trying to kill each other and that's no reason for you to go flouncing about the ship in practically nothing! Not without one of us, it's dangerous Clare!" Eli censured.

She stopped glaring at Drew and turned her glare to Eli now. "I'm not helpless Eli! It's not like I was going to go back to one of their rooms with them! I sat at the edge of the pool and they all came to me, I was talking! I wouldn't have left the pool with any of them. I needed something to distract me from the fact that two of my favorite people in the whole world keep trying to kill each other!" She said with much anger and annoyance in her tone, giving them both a reprimanding look.

"He started it." Drew whined.

"Only because…" Eli began but Clare cut him off.

"I don't care who started it! No more fighting over anything! You don't know what it does to me and Adam to see you both fighting so knock it the hell off! Otherwise you two can spend the rest of the cruise together working out your differences or finally killing each other while Adam and I enjoy the vacation. Look at you two, you're both scratched up, you've both got newly forming bruises, your shirts were ripped. I don't like seeing either of you like that and neither does Adam." She admonished but her tone had slowly slipped from hard and angry to sort of sad.

"Okay we're sorry." Drew said and looked at Eli expectantly.

"Yeah we're sorry." Eli agreed.

"Good are you two done or do I need to send you both to the cabin so you can air things out?" She inquired.

"I'm really not sure how the fight started." Drew admitted looking at Eli.

Eli opened his mouth as if to explain, looked at Clare and then Adam and then shut his mouth again and started uncomfortably scratching the back of his head.

"Eli?" She questioned squeezing her eyebrows together.

"He…you…" Eli started then stopped, the boy looked somewhere between irate, jealous and embarrassed. "I'm going swimming." Eli said suddenly getting up, walking quickly to the edge of the pool and diving in.

Drew looked at Adam but he only shrugged, Drew looked at Clare and she looked worried and wounded. "He just needs some space Angel. Something was bothering him, I never did find out what." Drew told her.

She didn't look the least bit comforted by his words though. "Go talk to him then." She insisted, pushing Drew with her foot so he'd get up.

"I really don't think he wants to talk to me." Drew told her.

She glared at him again getting up from the lounge chair, Drew tried to grab her hand but she yanked it away. "Fine I'll go talk to him then!" She said and walked away quickly diving into the pool after Eli.

Drew watched her go and turned to Adam. "I didn't start the fight but he's mad at me for something I honestly think I'm the last person he wants to see or talk to right now." Drew told him.

"You get her and take her back to the room; I'll try talking to Eli." Adam told him.

(ELI)

He dove in the pool, he kinda hoped the water would help clear his mind but really he just wanted to get out of there. As much as he had some stuff to get off his chest it was all directed at Drew and he didn't want Clare or Adam to be in the middle. He started swimming laps thinking the exercise might help him calm down. Suddenly his hand was grabbed forcing him to stop swimming and stand, luckily he was now in the shallow end, unluckily he came up to be face to face with Clare.

"Eli what's wrong? Please talk to me. Did Drew do something? Did I?" She pleaded.

His heart sank a little; he hated to see her upset. "No Clare you didn't do anything." He told her pulling his hand back and getting ready to swim again.

"Eli talk to me." She pleaded again.

"I'll talk to you sexy," said a despicably lecherous voice.

"I don't want to talk to you." She snapped back.

Eli turned around to see a tall boy with short dark hair take Clare by the waist and turn her around to face him. Clare had a pissed off look on her face and as soon as she was facing the guy slapped him as hard as she could.

"Mmmm feisty, just the way I like them." The guy smiled licking his lips as he looked her over. "What happens if I untie the laces around your neck I wonder?" He taunted.

"Let go of me you pervert!" Clare demanded thrashing around but she wasn't having much luck under the water.

"Let her go!" Eli demanded.

"Get your hands off of her!" Drew ordered appearing behind them now.

Eli exchanged a look with Drew and he nodded ever so slightly, then they both punched this asshole from either side. He let go of Clare finally, Eli watched as she swam to the side of the pool and Adam helped her out, pulling her up and wrapping her in a towel. The guy had recovered from the punch and seemed to be deciding which of them to hit first. Eli decide he'd make neither of them an option, he ducked under the water and yanked the guys swim shorts down as far as he could, he popped back out of the water. Drew was laughing, the guy was red in the cheeks, Eli started laughing too and several people around them started laughing. While the guy was busy fixing his shorts Eli and Drew used the distraction to swim to the side of the pool and hop out by Adam Clare. Adam handed them both towels to dry off.

"Nice move thanks for the assist." Drew praised when they were wrapped in towels.

"Yeah sure." Eli nodded.

"You both are impossible!" Clare suddenly exclaimed in frustration. They all looked at her; she was now wearing a towel wrapped around her but also an indignant and irritated expression. "You two get along just fine and work together when I'm in trouble. You'll both put aside your differences to punch out some guy that hits on me but can't hardly talk to each other otherwise." She vented and then turned and started walking out.

"We should probably all go back to the room and dry off." Adam suggested, handing Drew and Eli their shoes. "Let's go catch her before she gets into any more trouble." Adam said once Drew and Eli had their shoes on.

The boys walked quickly and caught up with Clare just as she was exiting the pool area. They all fell into step with her, Drew putting his arm around her shoulders. She glared at him and Eli but didn't try and get away so Eli took that as a good sign. They got back to the room and Adam unlocked the door, Eli got some clean and dry clothes from his dresser and went into the washroom to change. He dried off and dressed quickly and went back out.

"We're going to get dressed." Drew said pulling Clare by the arm into the washroom and closing and locking the door.

"Okay so spill, what was your deal this morning and why fight with Drew again?" Adam inquired.

"He's…he's…did you see what he brought to…to…" Eli tried explaining but the words simply weren't leaving his mouth. "I found something in his drawer, something for sex." Eli said quietly.

"Nagghh!" Adam exclaimed scrunching his face and holding up his hands. "STOP! I don't want to hear any more! He's my brother and she's my best friend. I know they have sex, lots of it but I don't want to hear about it or think about it!" Adam insisted with a firm voice.

"Yeah well neither do I but I couldn't help it after what I found. Is that really what she…" Eli started but Adam cut him off.

"Eli it's really none of your business what her sex life is like. She's my best friend and she doesn't talk to me about it and you're her best friend but also her ex. I doubt she even talks to Alli and Jenna about it." Adam told him.

Eli was going to keep arguing but Drew came out of the washroom, dry and dressed but alone and looking a little dejected. He gave them a sort of sad half smile and flopped on the bed.

"She's taking a bath and won't let me in, or talk to me." He said in a defeated sort of voice.

Eli felt a stab of guilt; it was partly his fault that they were fighting.

"We'll give you two sometime; let's go to the arcade or something." Adam said getting up.

Eli nodded and followed Adam out of the room.

(CLARE)

Drew took her by the arm, telling Eli and Adam they were going to get dressed and gently pulled her into the washroom, closing the main washroom door. As soon as he let go of her arm she went into the water closet part of the washroom and shut and locked the door.

"Clare!" Drew called knocking on the door.

"I'm taking a bath." She called back, turning on the water for the bath.

She really hadn't planned on taking a bath but she wasn't in the mood to talk just yet she was still quite aggravated with the both of them.

"So?" Drew questioned through the door.

"Alone Drew! I want to take a bath alone and I don't want to talk right now!" She huffed.

She took off the towel and her bikini, hearing Drew in the closet and hoped he was getting dressed. She got in the bath, letting the warm water envelop her. She heard Drew open the door, leave the washroom and say something to Eli and Adam but she couldn't quite make out the words, then she heard the front door open and close again. She stayed in the bath until the water began to get cold, she had hoped the time alone would help her calm down but it didn't, the more she thought about it, the more it stewed in her mind the angrier she got at Eli and Drew. Yesterday things had seemed okay but this morning they'd been fighting again. She loved them both, in entirely different ways but she still loved them both and she hated that they fought at all. They obviously both cared about her and Adam why couldn't that be enough? Why couldn't they put the rest of their differences aside? Why were boys so bloody frustrating?! She sighed and started draining the water, stepping out of the bath, the small room lightly filled with steam. She grabbed a towel, wrapping it around her torso and opening the door to the sink area, only to find Drew leaning on the counter.

"I'm still not talking you." She stated, going into the closet to get out clothes.

"Angel I didn't start the fight you're not being fair." Drew whined with a pleading tone.

She ignored him pulling out clothes from her drawer.

"Clare you have to talk to me." He said gently taking her arm.

"No I don't," she snapped yanking her arm away, "you were fighting again and this time I didn't kiss him! And I'm still mad at you so no I don't! I don't care if you didn't start the fight you shouldn't have fought back!"

"He pushed me I was defending myself!" Drew retorted.

"I'm going to explore the ship, maybe when I get back I'll be calm enough to talk to you." She said dropping her towel so she could get dressed.

"You're not going by yourself." Drew said flatly.

"I'm getting dressed first and I'm not going to walk the ship in my bikini, I'll be fine." She replied, gritting her teeth.

"Clare just please stay and talk to me." He begged again as she pulled a skirt from a hanger and heard Drew opening a drawer.

"No." She said glowering at him.

She started to leave the closet when Drew grabbed her wrist and pulled her back. Before she could react he had her wrist in a handcuff, swiftly he grabbed her other wrist and locked it in the other cuff, he now had her restrained by the handcuffs over the bar in the closet.

"ANDREW GET ME DOWN! LET ME GO!" She screamed.

"Are you going to talk to me?" He inquired.

"No I'm going to explore the ship now let me down!" She demanded.

"So you can go flirt with other guys, I don't think so." He shook his head opening the drawer again.

"I wasn't flirting Drew they were." She told him.

"Tony had his hand on your leg and you didn't seem to mind." Drew reminded her, pulling a black strap from his drawer.

"Oh my god it was on my knee, not my thigh or something. Now let me down Andrew!" She demanded again.

"Are you ready to talk to me Angel?" He inquired in a calm yet amused voice.

She stuck her tongue out at him in reply.

"Fine." He said taking the strap and one of her ankles he used the strap to secure her ankle to the small pipe that ran along the bottom of the closet about an inch above the ground. He reached into the drawer and pulled out the other strap and then secured her other ankle. "You can stay like that till you're ready to talk then." He informed her. He went to the opposite wall, leaning on it, crossing his arms and looking her over.

"Andrew this isn't funny! Let me go!" She growled.

"Not until…" Drew started but he was cut off.

"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING TO HER?!" Eli demanded suddenly appearing in the washroom doorway.

Clare felt her cheeks turn red and she gasped, Drew turned with a shock look on his face. Eli was furious and pounced on Drew, landing a punch and both boys fell to the closet floor! Drew was ready and quickly turned the tables getting on top of Eli and landing a punch of his own. Clare was horrified to watch them fight and more so that she was naked and restrained and couldn't do anything…

My my isn't this a sticky situation...They are not going to have a threesome get your minds out ot the gutter! Okay so she is naked and bound and they are wrestling on the floor so I did kinda plant that seed but they aren't going to have a threesome. Not writing a threesome into this story...maybe the cheating one maybe...

So anyway SHOUTOUT to Mansavage777 for suggesting Eli walk in on them...yes I realize they weren't exactly in the middle of sexy time and will probably have him walk in on them again, we're not even a full day into the cruise yet.

Anywho guest request to have them get locked in the closet, they were supposed to work things out but I didn't get that far.
