Chapter Three: Unlikely Visitor

Ryan returned the basket to the kitchen, dodging a few curious glances, and was going out to his car when he bumped into someone.

"Hey, watch where you are going!" Ryan yelped, and shock came to his face.

Standing in front of him was none other than Connor O' Malley, one of Haylie's crazy ex-boyfriends.

"Hey to you too, drama geek." Connor replied, and Ryan's shock turned into anger.

"Your not a member here. Atleast, that's what you didn't tell me." Ryan said coldly, and Connor raised an eyebrow.

"Whoa, I just want to talk."

"Or to hurt Haylie again." Ryan stated.

"I never laid a hand on her, Evans. You know that." Connor said, and he tried to get past Ryan, but Ryan was still blocking the door.

"I know you didn't, but you insulted her." Ryan replied.

"Evans, words mean nothing."

"They do if they are thrown in your face." Ryan said, and Connor scowled.

"I never ment it! I was just mad because she was with you, and not me!"

"Well, you should have thought of that before you insulted her." Ryan said.

"Look, can you just let me in? I promise I won't do anything to her." Connor stated, but Ryan wasn't moving.

"I'm sorry, but she's working right now. You have to come back another time." Ryan exclaimed, and Connor frowned.

"I'm only here for a week!"

"I'm sorry. But, rules are rules. You can't see employees when they are working." Ryan stated.

Actually, they can, but Ryan wasn't telling Connor that!

"Fine. Just tell her I stopped by." Connor explained, and walked away from the club, while Ryan frowned.

"Hey, Wildcat!"

Ryan twirled around to see Haylie walking towards him.

"Hey...are you done?" Ryan asked.

"Yeah..Gabriella said they don't need her as a lifeguard right now, so she took a shift."

Ryan smiled, and said, "Well, good. Then that means I can bring you home."

Haylie laughed, and took hold of his hand.

"I heard you talking to someone..."

Ryan froze, and he looked at her.

"I was just talkng to a guest. It was noone important."

"Oh...okay." Haylie said, and Ryan was relieved that she bought it, but at the same time, he didn't want to lie to her.

But, she will find out that Connor was back in town for just one lousy week.
