Chapter Six

Feburary 9, 2008

Allison's POV

"Alli."

I opened my eyes and saw someone standing by my bed.

"Joe?" I whispered sleepily.

"No, it's Elvis Presley! Of course it's me!"

"What do you want?" I asked him.

"Get in the hot tub with me."

"Joe, I'm sleepy!"

"Pleaseeeeeee," Joe begged. "I'll be your best friend!"

"You already are my best friend," I mumbled and got out of bed. I grabbed my suitcase and pulled my bikini out.

"Close your eyes," I instructed. Joe shut his eyes and I pulled my pajamas off and put my bikini on.

"Okay, let's go."

Joe grinned and grabbed my hand. We snuck out of the hotel room and into the elevator. The hotel had an in-door pool and hot tub, otherwise I wouldn't have agreed to get in with him. Joe opened the glass door and we stepped inside. Dim spotlights shone from the ceiling, reflecting off the clear water. We got into the hot tub and I closed my eyes. Two seconds later, I felt something lightly graze my leg. I opened my eyes and watched as Joe burst out from underneath the frothy water. He shook his head, spraying me with bubbly water. I giggled and splashed him back.

"I can't believe we're gonna be in Vegas for Valentine's Day," Joe said and pushed his wet hair out his eyes. "It's totally bogus!"

"I know," I said. "It would so be cooler if we were at the beach."

Joe sighed and played with the bubbles nearest him. I scooped up a handful and threw them at him.

"Hey!" Joe protested and threw some back. I shrieked as we bombarded each other with frothy white bubbles. Once we stopped, we looked at each other and burst out laughing. Bubbles coated both of our bodies.

"I think it's time to get in the pool," Joe said.

"Totally."

We climbed out of the hot tub and Joe walked to the deep end and cannon-balled into the water. "Whooooooo!"

I laughed and walked down the steps into the slightly chilly water. I dove underwater and tugged on Joe's ankle. My head broke through the surface of the water and I swam over to Joe. He pulled me into his body and I wrapped my legs around his waist.

"What would you do if I kissed you?"

I looked at Joe in shock. "Uh...I don't..."

I never got to finish my sentence because before I knew it, Joe's mouth was pressed against mine. I automatically kissed him back before I could think about what we were doing. Joe carried me over to the edge of the pool and set me down. I could feel the bumpy cement of the pool wall against my back as we kissed. Suddenly, I snapped back to reality. This is exactly how I wound up having sex with Kevin and there was no way I was sleeping with Joe. Kevin had been a mistake, but Joe would be an even bigger mistake. He was my best friend. I pulled away and took a deep breath.

"Joe...we can't do this," I said and got out of the pool. I wrapped a towel around my body and walked back to the hotel room. I couldn't face Joe, so I quickly changed into some dry clothes and snuck into Kevin's room. As I crawled in beside him, I thought about what I had just done.

I hate myself.

Joe's POV

"Stupid, stupid, stupid," I mumbled to myself as I climbed out of the pool.

"She'll probably never talk to me again!" I sighed and walked back to my hotel room. Not surprisingly, Alli was gone. I threw some dry clothes on and turned the tv on. There was no way I could fall asleep after what just happened. I flipped through the channels before stopping on USA.

"You're orange, you moron."

I rolled my eyes at Gregory House and shut the tv off. Then, Alli slipped through the door adjoining our's and Kevin's rooms. I felt my blood boil.

"What were you doing in Kevin's room?" I asked before thinking.

Alli crossed her arms. "Avoiding you, not that it's any of your buisness."

"Fine."

"Fine."

Alli stalked over to her bed and I noticed with anger that her shirt was on backwards.

"You had sex again, didn't you?"

Alli whirled around and glared at me.

"No, as a matter of fact, we didn't. And if you're stupid enough to believe that we did, than you go fuck yourself for all I care!"

I stared at her in shock as she zipped up her suitcase and disappeared back into Kevin's room.

"I'm screwed."

Kevin's POV

"Kevin. Kevin. Ke-vin!"

I opened my eyes and saw Alli staring at me.

"Snap!" I said and fell off the bed. "What are you doing?" I asked her as I stood back up.

"Joe and I snuck out to the hot tub and had a bubble fight, so then we got in the pool and he kissed me and I pulled away and came in here and then went back to our room and he asked what I was doing in here and if we had sex and I told him to go fuck himself and then I came back in here."

"Okay," I said, a little confused.

"We've never fought before! But, he just...he made me so mad!"

"Why?"

"I don't know! It wasn't the part about us having sex, it was like...I was mad at myself."

"Why?"

"Because I enjoyed kissing him. A lot."

"That's nothing to be mad about."

"I know!"

I laughed and hugged her. "You'll work it out. Trust me."

"Kevin?"

"Yeah?" I said.

"Do you think maybe we could be friend...with benefits?"

"What kind of benefits?"

"The sexual kind," Alli whispered seductively.

I gulped. "I...maybe."

"Cool." With that, Alli pressed her lips against mine.

Nick's POV

"KEVIN!"

My eyes shot open as I heard a girl's voice scream my brother's name.

"Ew!" I whispered and clamped my pillow over my head. 'Who the heck is he having sex with?' I looked at my left, where Miley was sleeping peacefully. 'Well, that only leaves...Alli?!'

"Holy snap!" I said.

'Kevin and Alli are having sex! How did that happen? Kevin's is supposed to be a virgin! Ohmygosh!!'

I rubbed my head and closed my eyes, trying to forget what I had just heard.

--

Miley's POV

"Wakey-wakey!"

I reached out my hand and swatted Nick's stomach. "Shut up."

"Get up! I have something to tell you!"

I opened my eyes and yawned. "What?"

"Kevin and Alli had sex last night!"

"WHAT?!"

"Shhhhhh. They'll hear you!"

"How do you know?"

"I heard them."

"Dang!"
