This one's taking longer than I thought, will do my best though!

Chapter 4 - B.B.Q.

Spencer.

"COWABUNGA!"

Splash!

"Tyson!"

Yeah, as you can probably guess, Tyson just bombed into the pool and got Hilary wet while she was sunbathing, who would've thought it would turn out to be such a nice afternoon.

Tala's just challenged Kai to a swimming race… and lost much to our misfortune; he's sulking now, oh hold on, he just got out and flung Hilary in with us.

I know someone who's sleeping on the couch tonight.

Bryan and Ray are trying, patiently, to teach Ian to swim, though Ray looks like he wants to dunk my small companion. I have a hunch Ian left his skates out again.

Max and Tyson are trying to out-bomb each other, when they're not throwing Kenny in the pool that is.

About time that kid left his computer, it was getting quite unnerving.

Mariam and I are just swimming lengths, it's been a while since I could stretch out my limbs with the water supporting me.

Oliver's helping Robert at the barbeque and damn does Robert look nice in his shorts. Muscles showing in just the right places, and surprisingly, he's got a couple of subtle curves too.

Ah, who am I kidding, he's straight.

"Spence, look out!"

I just managed to dive underwater and out of the way of Kenny's latest dunking, poor kid.

"Thanks for the warning." I said as I resurfaced, my hair's in my eyes, I should really get it trimmed. I combed my hair back to see Robert looking in my direction and licking his fingers…

Robert.

Well it seems everyone's having a good time, even the Blitzkrieg boys. But like I said before, it's been a while since they were controlled. Spencer this morning confirmed that.

I looked down to the shelf under the barbeque, I made sure Gustav placed the first aid kit under there, with Tyson and Max throwing the chief into the pool I'm not taking chances. Just stay in there Kenny, then they might leave you alone, I should really be saying this out loud.

"Nice of Ray to prepare some stuff for us, isn't it Robert?" Oliver just asked me, indicating the marinated chicken and vegetarian platters beside him awaiting the grill.

"Yeah it was." especially because I had no idea the Russian boys and Mariam were vegetarian! Ray, you save me quite a bit of embarrassment there.

I think he and Bryan just convinced Ian that he can float, he's wearing armbands so he should.

I just put some of the food on the grill, but I got Ray's sauce on my fingers.

Lets see. Wait for a napkin, or lick it off?

Oh sod it, I'm not at some snooty dinner party now.

"Spence, look out!"

I just spotted my dream guy dive under the water before Kenny got thrown in for the umpteenth time.

I just put my finger in my mouth as he emerged, mm, Ray's marinade is gorgeous! Not too spicy, not too mild, quite sweet too, I wonder what he used?

Wow, Spencer's body looks as delicious as the sauce tastes, droplets running their way down his pecks, over his abs and disappearing under the waistband of his… I'm going to shut up now before I say something I may regret later.

Shit he's looking at me, what do I do! Oh mercy me I hate this!

Wait a minute, little light bulb going up here, this is just the perfect opportunity. I'm a genius. Ray, you are the best!

Looking at him hopefully, I sucked the sauce off one finger, I moved onto the second…

Normal P.O.V.

Robert sucked the sauce of the first finger and moved onto the second, Spencer who was treading water now, couldn't help staring and licking his own lips. Robert was keeping eye contact with him.

'Is he… nah can't be, Robert flirting with me?' Spencer dunked his head under, swam to the side and climbed out.

"You ok Spencer?" asked Mariam.

"Yeah fine, just seeing if Rob and Oliver need help." he called as he began towelling his hair dry. As he walked up to the barbeque. "Do you two want a hand?" he asked, taking his towel and resting it on a sun bed.

"You couldn't help Robert while I have a swim, could you Spencer?" Oliver asked him.

"Uh, sure Oliver." Spencer smiled, "Oh, watch out for Tyson and Max."

"Will do." and the green haired Frenchman skipped off.

"Sauce is good then?" Spencer grinned at Robert, taking some tongs.

"Uh yeah, if Ray and Oliver had a cook off, I'd have no idea who'd win." Robert laughed. How's the pool?"

"Perfect." Spencer grinned, poking some of the food with the tongs and turning it over.

"So, why did you become a nude model? Honestly."

Spencer po.v.

"So, why did you become a nude model? Honestly."

I wish he hadn't asked me that, the one guy I don't want to tell. I better think of something and fast.

"Not the job I really thought about taking, but the money's really good, I'm saving up for a bike."

Nice save if I do say so myself.

"What kind?" I don't know what kind! I know nothing about bikes!

"A Harley." What, it's the only bike type I do know.

"Very nice. Expensive too."

"Hence the job, we all haven't got money to blow on what we want when we want." Whoops, I should've thought about that before I said it. Way to go Spence.

Oh don't pout, please Robert, don't be mad at me, I'm a bloody idiot.

"Sorry, that shouldn't have come out like it did. In fact it shouldn't have come out at all." I turned my attention back to the grill, turning things over and putting more on.

"I can understand how you feel after today. And I suppose I should get out and be a teen more, not a noble." Robert, you said a mouthful!

"You Robert Jurgen, are first and foremost, a boy in his late teens you should start acting like one." I sound like a wizened old mother, I blame Ray. Who right now is batting a beach ball to Mariam.

"Would you believe me if I had no idea where to begin?" Oh Christ is this guy dense or what?

"Well, I'm hanging out at the shopping centre with Kai and the others tomorrow, why don't you join us?" Ok I should really think about engaging my brain with my mouth, I've got to convince Kai of all people to go shopping tomorrow, great.

"Uh, sure."

"There we go then." I just had to grin, and he smiled too, and it wasn't his usual pompous one, but an actual smile! I'm getting somewhere, whoo hoo, do a mental dance… Hm, yeah. Ooh, idea there! "Hey Rob, have you anything in the terms of music, and I don't mean that concerto business."

"Oh please, every time I hear classical music I want to slit my wrists just to get away from it." Bit dramatic there Robert. "Gustav!"

"Yes sir?"

Man, this dude has got stealth down to an art form, Ray's the only other one I know that can move around without a peep.

"Could you put the stereo on?"

"Of course sir." Oh you couldn't pay me enough to be a butler, I bet they get the grottiest jobs.

"Guys, something's burning!" Oliver cried over to us, stopping his water fight with Ian to smell the air.

Normal P.O.V.

"SHIT!" was the cry from both boys as they tried to solve the problem.


Please review and any suggestions would be great!
