There was a sharp banging on my door. I groaned and rolled over to get a glimpse of my alarm clock. It was only 6 in the morning.

"What do you want?! I still have what 45 minutes until I have to get ready?"

Jake yelled back, "employee meeting remember? We have to be in early."

I rose out of bed and changed into my uniform glad I took a shower the night before. Speaking of last night, I was so happy me and Jesse were finally out in the open. Even if last night was slightly embarrassing the good night kiss I got totally made up for it.

Jake pulled up to the hotel and we had to take the stairs. He turned to me and said, "tonight's storm is gonna bring some wicked surf, what do you say we get the gang together and have a bonfire?"

I nodded my head, "that sounds good. I'll call Cee and Adam and then let Jesse know."

"I'll get the food. What do we want? Pizza…"

"Burgers, fries both chili and cheese, soda. You know the usual."

We both failed to notice one guest listening in on our conversation as we walked into the conference room. All we were told was to keep up the good work and no we weren't getting any raises. Yeah that was a real productive meeting.

I made my way to the Slater's room and knocked on the door. Karen answered and ushered me in.

Jack came running over all ready to go swimming. "Suze! Guess what?"

I feigned a look of confusion, "what?"

"Paul's gonna hang out with us today isn't that great?"

I didn't want to bring him down by saying no so I just moved my head and made a noncommittal noise.

Karen and Rick said goodbye as Paul came out of his room. He was also ready to go swimming and Jack grabbed my hand and yelled to us to both get a move on.

I watched Jack swim because honestly I didn't trust Jake. Don't get me wrong, I love my brother- but I didn't call him Sleepy for nothing.

"So Suze, you said your perfect night out is surfing right?"

I sighed realizing I was going to have to talk to him, Jack was watching us and I got the impression that he liked the thought of Paul and I together. "Yeah my brother taught me how when I first moved here."

" Was it hard to learn?"



I gave him a suspicious look, "no, it wasn't really hard to learn I mean I fell a few times at first but you get the hang of it real fast if the surf is good. Why do you want to know? You signing up for lessons?"

He smiled, "no I was hoping you would teach me how."

I started to laugh. "No, I don't think so."

Then Jake opened his mouth. "Oh come on Suze, give the guy a break. You know those lessons are expensive."

I gave him a dirty look and then turned to Paul who smiled innocently. I realized then that I had been played.

"Fine, how long are you here?"

"We're here for the rest of the summer."

The shock must have registered on my face because he grinned. I thought he would be gone in a few days.

I rolled my eyes. "Look I only get the weekends off so meet me then."

He nodded his head but asked, "What are you doing tonight?"

I watched Jake yell at some kid for running and threw a quick glance at the pool to check on Jack. Then I answered his question. "I'm meeting up with some friends and no you can't come."

He closed his mouth and sighed. "Why not? I just want to get to know you."

"We'll talk Saturday."

I guess he could tell I was serious about him not coming because he let the subject go and went to swim with his brother until we had to go in.

Paul decided to "be a gentleman" and walk me to the parking lot. It was a pleasant surprise to see Jake already there.

"Let's go! I gotta get everything and you and Brad have some phone calls to make!"

I shook my head and said bye to Paul.

"See you tomorrow Suze." And then he walked off.

Once we were on the road Jake said, "Why didn't you invite him tonight? And why didn't you want to teach him how to surf? He seems like a nice guy."

I gave a very unladylike snort, as my mother puts it, which made Jake laugh but he quickly recovered. "Seriously though, why?"



"They guy's a jerk. He seems to think he can win me over by taking me to fancy places-" Now it was Jake's turn to snort.

"AND, he said something along the line of one day with him and I would forget all about my boyfriend. He's an arrogant jerk. But I'll teach him to surf cause you know I don't go back on my word."

"Sorry about putting on the spot earlier then but hey you'll get to see him fall! And maybe he's just like that cause he's nervous around you or somethin, wait and get to know him first."

I shook my head, sometimes Jake was too nice, I would still listen to him though because most of the time he was right, I know threw me for a loop too.

We both got out of the car to go in once we got home. We got changed and then started calling everyone and getting ready for our night.
