"You don't want Dr. Drake" Luke sat next to me.
"I can think for myself" I snapped "thanks."
"Yes Luke I believe my daughter seems to be quite interested in the man" my father observed.
"Well I believe you're not very subtle" I stood up.
"I saw the way you looked at him yesterday" he smiled.
"He had just saved me from a jaguar" I emphasized the word jaguar.
"You hear that old buddy old pal" Luke laughed.
"Yet" I decided to play with their heads "he is quite charming."
"You hear that old buddy old pal" my father repeated Luke's earlier words.
"He is somewhat of a playboy" I continued.
"Yes and what woman wants that" Luke asked.
"I have been hurt in serious relationships before maybe I should try casual"
"It never hurts to try" my father exclaimed.
"It will" Luke predicted.
"He's right" I sighed.
"All the more reason to stick to what you know" Patrick's hand appeared on my shoulder.
"Here, here" my father agreed.
"Oh boys" Holly called from another room and both my father and Luke jumped up and ran.
Patrick made a sound like a whip and laughed. After a few minutes of awkward silence there were squeaks of springs, yelling, and moaning coming from the room my father had gone into. Suddenly I felt physically ill and walked out of the villa. Patrick followed me.
"You really think it's a good idea to be out here alone after almost being attacked by a hungry jaguar" he asked.
"Get eaten by an animal or listen to my father" I weighed the options "I pick animal."
"You do know they both went in there right" he asked.
"Ew" I got yet another mental picture. This time Patrick needed no asking before kissing me.
"You're good at that" I breathed then slapped my head and covered my face. He laughed and pulled me into a hug.
"Idiot" I repeated over and over as I hit my head against his chest.
"As much as I'd love to help you kill all the brain cells you have you do have a skull" Patrick patted my head.
"Sorry" I apologized. I noticed that Luke and my father had come out of the room and I went back into the villa.
"You guys will be leaving tomorrow afternoon" Luke announced.
"What why" I asked.
"The Maarkams are no place for you guys" my father explained.
"Fine then come back with us" Lulu walked into the room.
"No!" both of them yelled.
After the unpleasant conversation with my father Patrick and I finally got some time to talk. Although there wasn't much talking. About ten minutes after we started "talking" Luke came in and started talking about birds. Did you know that their poop is white because they don't eat enough meat? I didn't either but I think that's because it's not true. Also I found out the men have a natural need to be arrogant. Now that I did know. Luke made it quite clear that if forced into a relationship men often run. I knew that too. What I didn't know is that if men have money on the line they will stop at nothing to get it. They'll even throw a bucket of mud on a well respected doctor. Well actually let me make that more clear. A well respected surgeon. Unfortunately the only bathtub in the villa is in the middle of a common area. So someone had to hold a sheet so that everyone wouldn't see him bathing. The lucky person was the one the only Luke Spencer. And Patrick promised to take an extra long time. This whole bet thing could be fun.
