Temptation Island
Chapter 5
Where to go, What to do?
Scott's Story
Dedicated to my Grammy Bear.

Scott smiled at Tia as they swayed to the latin music. She really was a great dancer, but not as good as Shelby. Oh well, right now he wasn't gonna compare her to Shelby. That wouldn't really be fair. A slow song came on and Scott gave Tia a questioning glance but she shook her head and nodded over to the bar. It was quieter over there.
"I hate slow songs and I needed a drink." Tia said.
Scott stuck out his lower lip, "So we never get to slow dance together?"
Tia just laughed. "I'll tell you something Scott, you are way too cute."
Scott smiled. "So does this mean we'll get to slow dance together?"
"Maybe, but no promises,"
They ordered their drinks and started talking.
"So, you're 'significant other' is a what was her name Shelly?"
"Shelby, yeah."
"Shelby, right. So was she the blond one?"
"Yeah."
"She's really pretty. I bet the guys are fighting over her. That one guy, Conner, I was talking to him and he said that he would do anything to get a date with her. He actually said he wasn't too disapointed when he was blocked from those other two girl's ,uh, Debby and Jan?"
"Daisy and Juliet."
"Right, well he said that he didn't really care because theonly one he was interested in was Shelly..."
"Shelby."
"Yeah, Shelby. Oh, yeah and then I heard Ben, Justin, Josh, Ryan and Parker making a bet on who would get the farthest with her. But anyway I wouldn't worry about those four, they're jerks. I bet they won't even get a date with her. Well, except for Parker he's pretty cute. But I mean..."
But Scott didn't even hear the rest of what Tia had said. They were making BETS on who would get the farthest with SHELBY. Scott wished he sould be over there right now. Boy if he was he would pound their faces in. No one, NO ONE will get farther than a friendly hug with her Scott thought to himself, if they do... Scott thoughts were interupted by Tia who was tapping him on the shoulder.
"Oh, Scott I'm sorry I got you worried about Shelby. But you really shouldn't worry, if I were her I wouldn't give them the light of day. And I bet if she did it wouldn't matter. She loves you. I can tell she does, all you have to do is look at her when she's looking at you. She just glows and has a permanent smile in her eyes. And I mean it's obvious you love her. You can so tell, when you two are together it's like you doon't even know anyone else is there. I've see you two. It's way obvious."
Scott smiled, if an outsider could tell how obvious it was they loved each other than there was nothing to worry about. But he felt guilty he was here to give Tia a chance. "Tia, c'mon this isn't about me and Shelby. This is about me and you possibly hooking up. So let's finish our date without talking about her." Scott said it but he didn't feel it, as far as he was concerned this date was already over.
Tia smiled at him. "No, it's not and you know it. You and me are just friends and dance partners. I never expected us to hook up. It's just fun to have a great dance partner."
Scott smiled too. "So me and you can just be friends and dance together without any questions?"
"Yep, I think we owe it to ourselves to have someone like that."
"I agree. So what do you wanna talk about?"
"Well, I bet you wish you had someone you could talk to about Shelby so let's talk about her."
"Like what?"
"How long have you two been together?"
"Well like ten years."
"Ooh that really is a long time. SO how'd ya meet."
Scott smiled remembering Horizon brought back great memories. They should be having their ten year anniversiary soon. Even though it wasn't really Kat's reunion she would be there too. Scott couldn't wait to see her and everyone else.
"High school."
"Awww High School Sweethearts. I always figured those never worked out. Let me geuss the Star Quarterback and The Cheerleading captain?"
"No actually, we didn't have football there. Well, befor i transfered I was a football star, but Shelby was never the Cheerleader type."
"Really? No sports? What kind of a school did you go to?"
"Well we had sports but they were unorganized. It was a school for dysfunctional teens, druggies, misfits, just plain screw ups. Actually all of us came from the same school."
"No way. I couldn't picture any of you, well maybe Daisy and David, in a school like that. There is no way you could have fit into one of those categories."
"Well, there is. Yeah Daisy was goth and David well, he's an interesting one. Auggie was in a gang and Juliet had an eating disorder."
"What about you and Shelby? Were you two like just too hot to handle?"
"No, I was a druggie and Shelby needed a sanctuary. But we both had one thing in common. It kinda helped us understand each other. It's how we connected at first. She was one of the only people who understood..."
Tia nodded he knew she wouldn't push. She looked at her watch. "Boy it's late, wanna head back to the island."
Scott nodded. "I'm really glad we went on this date. It's great to have someone to talk to. We'll have to do this again."
Tia nodded and they headed back to the island. Then they were told they were needed for an interview.
Tia's Interview:
Scott's a great friend I can tell and I can tell he's a great listener. Plus he's a great dancer. But all will ever be is friends, and that's fine, no wait thats great.

Scott's Interview:
She's a great friend, a great listener and a great dancer. She doesn't poke, prod or push. It's great that we're friends. I really am glad I'll have someone like her I can talk to. And it'll be great to get to know more about her. If we don't have another "date" then we'll spend alot of time together on the island.

A/N: Thanx for everything everyone. I hope you enjoy it. Hey I do believe that was the shortest AN ever. Great go and ruin it Missie.
Thanx Love Ya,
MISSIE
