The next day Summer and Marissa were enjoying a late breakfast…or early lunch, which ever you want to call it, at a small outdoor café up the boardwalk from the hotel.
Summer: Oh my God Coop! In the massage room!
Marissa: Sum…keep your voice down.
Summer leaned across the table, and started speaking in a loud whisper.
Summer: Right, sorry…but oh my God…that is so hot!
Marissa: Sum!
Summer: Okay, okay…so did you get the massage?
Marissa: No…I kinda skipped that.
Summer: You missed out…mine was great.
Marissa shrugged her shoulders.
Marissa: I'll take Ryan over the massage any day.
Summer: Don't you mean…
Summer couldn't finish her sentence because Marissa shot her a look as she saw their waitress approaching with their food. Their waitress placed their food in front of them.
Waitress: Do you need anything else?
Marissa: We're fine, thanks.
The waitress gave a nod of her head and smile before turning and getting back to work. Both girls picked up their silverware and started munching away on their lunch. Summer was staring at the ocean, quietly nibbling on her salad.
Summer: (Quietly) The massage room.
Marissa looked up hearing her friend.
Marissa: I knew I shouldn't have told you.
Summer: I'm sorry Coop, but I can't seem to get over it…wait, you weren't going to tell me!
Marissa: Well…maybe I should have left a few parts out.
Summer: Oh please, don't spare the horny details on my account.
The two shared a laugh and continued eating. A little while later, they had finished eating and were sitting around talking and finishing up their drinks.
Marissa: So why are you living vicariously through my sex life anyway Sum…isn't that what you have Seth for?
Summer: Eh…
Marissa: What's going on?
Summer: You remember my little sex strike I put in place at the beginning of the summer…you know after we found about Ther—
Marissa rolled her eyes.
Marissa: Theresa…you can say her name Sum.
Summer: Right.
Marissa: But wait, I thought you guys had sex in Tahiti.
Summer: We did…but that was like, make up sex. When we got home, I enforced the rule again…I don't know, the whole thing just kind of freaked me out.
Marissa: Wow. Why didn't you tell me?
Summer: I don't know…but lately, I've been going a little stir crazy.
Marissa: Sum…we're in Catalina, we're on vacation, and it's the last weekend of summer break…I don't know…maybe you should give Seth a massage.
Both Summer and Marissa started laughing, and both stood up leaving a wad of cash on the table for the bill, and started walking out of the café.
Summer: You know…I think I might just have to do that.
Marissa: I'm sure he wouldn't be apposed.
Marissa and Summer stepped out of the gated café area, and started walking back up the boardwalk towards their hotel.
Summer: You know, I think we found a code word for sex.
Marissa: I think we did.
