That night a storm kept everyone inside instead of having their dinner out on the deck. Maya hadn't resolved things with Elliott since she had spent a good part of her morning comforting Nina, then the rest showing Jack what she was going to do with the next edition of Blush. Now, for the first time the entire day, they all were in the same room. The cook had just brought the food out and they were all sitting down. Jack noticed the tennision between Elliott and Maya and the glances that Nina kept giving Dennis, he could tell that there was something going on between them. "So, how was everyone's day?"Jack asked, trying to lighten the mood.
"Fine!"Everyone but Simon and Nina answered. Jack wasn't too enthused by everyone's reaction. He had expected to be a fun vacation for all of them, and apperantly Nina and Simon were the only one's having fun.
"Excellent!"Simon said smiling at Nina. Jack was glad that atleast one person was having fun. They were all sitting there eating in silence when Dennis stood up.
"Exscuse me, but I'll be back in just a minute!"Dennis said and started walking off. Nina watched him and quickly got up out of the chair herself.
"Nina!"Simon said warnfully. Nina didn't pay him any attention and quickly followed Dennis. Dennis, singing a little song to himself, didn't notice as Nina followed him into his cabin. Dennis walked over to his bedside table and rumaged through the top drawer. His attention was quickly directed to the slamming of the door. He jumped back when he saw Nina.
"Oh, Nina, I didn't' hear you come in! So how was your day?"Dennis asked smiling innocently.
"Finch, you told Simon that I had a 'dark little secret'. What have I ever done to deserve that kind of treatement?"Nina asked boldly.
"Do you really want me to answer that?"Dennis askeed smiling.
"No! But Finch, you could have ruined my marriage! How did you find out though?"Nina demanded.
"I just thought that it was a little weird that you didn't drink or anything like that! Are ya gonna kill me?"Dennis asked smiling.
"No, I don't need to give birth to my baby in jail!"Nina said rolling her eyes. They were walking out of the when Dennis turned around and looked at her.
"Nina is a nana, now she's gonna be a mama!"Dennis laughed.
"I'm already a mother, troll!"Nina said slapping his arm.
"Well, Nina is a nan that gonna be a mama again!"Dennis quickly ran back to the dinning area with Nina laggering behind. They had reached the dinning area when Elliott came running past them with Maya following. Dennis and Nina looked at eachother and turned around and began to follow Elliott and Maya.
"Elliott, just hear me out! I'm sorry that I accused you of seducing me! I didn't mean it! Really, why don't you believe me?"Maya asked as they walked into Elliott's cabin. Nina and Dennis stood quietly at the door listening.
"Maya, you accussed me of seducing you, do you expect me to listen to you with out questioing?"Elliott said as he flopped down on his bed. Maya sat down beside of him.
"Elliott, I was just a little freaked out! I mean here we are on vacation and we get drunk, then I wake up with a splitting headache! I didn't think! Those were the only words I could ssay! I didn't want to admitt that I had given into tempation. Just please forgive me Elliott!"Maya pleaded.
"I can't believe she's beggin' and he ain't saying anything!"Dennis whispered to Nina.
"I know, he could easily get her to do anything! She feels to emotional over things!"Nina said rolling her eyes. Dennis nodded and they continued to easedrop.
"Maya, get out of here! You said it, you meant it!"Elliott said turning towards the door. That was when he noticed Dennis and Nina. "Would you two quit spying on us? We didn't bother you when you two took off!"Elliott said rolling his eyes.
"What? We're not bothering you!"Dennis said offensivly.
"Yeah, we're just practing safe listening!"Nina added. They all three gave her a questioning look, then Elliott and Maya went back to arguing.
"Elliott,I didn't mean it! It's just like everytime I have a date or a boyfriend and you say that you want me! You don't mean it! And I didn't mean it when I said you seduced me! I don't feel that way! Alright?"Maya asked, aggitated.
"Alright, fine! You didn't mean it! I completely understand!"Elliott said sitting back up.
"Good, then let's go finish our meal!"Maya said and they all ascended the stairs and rejoined Jack and Simon.
