Chapter 8 "Embarrassed."

Lauren had seen many guys naked before, even Joe, but not when she felt such feelings towards him. She'd never expected to walk out and catch him in mid change. She blushed just at the thought of it and sighed once she heard him leave the bus. She opened the bathroom door and flung her clothes onto the bed and grabbed her pink Ray Bans, slipping them over her eyes.

Lauren looked around and noticed Joe's clothes in a pile on the floor and she kicked them under his bed, mad at him for frustrating her, mad at B-Hol for interrupting her and mad at God who obviously didn't want her to say what she wanted. She left the bunks and made her way to the front of the bus where she grabbed a bottle of water and tossed into her bag, then headed out for a sun filled day at the beach.

To say I was irritated with Brian was an understatement. He always had to interrupt; even back in Chicago he'd butt in at the worst moments. I sat down on the sand next to Joey who was chewing on a Red Vine, staring out at the ocean.

"So did you tell her?" He asked. I knew what he was referring to and shook my head.

"She heard what we were talking about though."

"What did she say?" I nearly had a heart-attack as Darren popped up inbetween us. Joey laughed and looked at me expectantly. I looked around and just sighed. I knew she was going to say something about the situation but I wasn't going to push her; she had to say it in her own time.

"Brian interrupted her before she could say something." I answered, looking for him. I saw him and smirked, jumping up and tackling him into the sand as he screamed like a girl. I couldn't contain is rolling off him and clutching my stomach as I laughed my ass off. The others joined in and from the corner of my eye, I noticed a petite bikini clad body run past us, heading straight for the water.
