"Nathan…" Daley said quietly with a sad, apologetic ring to her voice. "You know we've talked about this before. A relationship the island would be… well, it just wouldn't work."
It was early morning just after breakfast. Just as everyone had departed to start on their chores Nathan had taken Melissa's advice and pulled Daley a side to talk. He had begun by making small talk about the weather and such then slowly gained the courage to ask Daley if they could start their relationship here, on the island. He knew Daley was apposed to it but he thought it would be worth a shot. Now that Daley had shot it down so quickly he was trying to think of something to say, something to convince her otherwise.
"Look Daley, I know that's what you think but can't we just give it a try?" Nathan pleaded with all his will. He didn't see Daley falter at all.
"Nathan look we just ca-" Daley was cut off by Nathan's lips being pressed against hers. She tried to fight him for a moment or two but finally gave in to Nathan's passionate kiss. They kissed for a good minute before breaking apart. Daley couldn't help smile when she met Nathan's eyes. "Maybe, we could have a relationship, just one that no one knew about."
"A secret relationship?" Nathan questioned. He paused to ponder it. "But why?"
"If we started openly dating it would just cause a lot of drama and that's the last think we need" Daley explained while making straight eye contact with Nathan. "It's better than nothing, right?"
"Yeah, ok." Nathan agreed, "So I'll see ya later, secret girlfriend?"
"Yeah, you will" Daley responded with a smile as big as Nathan's. She gave him a quick peck before heading back to camp to start on the laundry.
Taylor lay sprawled out on her towel in her best attempt to get some colour. She was thinking about the curt conversation she had had with Jackson after dinner last night. She recalled his quick, easy answer and his fast exit from their exchange. How dare he? She quickly made up an excuse for him thinking maybe he was playing her hot and cold. Who knew, maybe that kind of thing got him hot. That must have been it, because Taylor had never been so openly blown off by a boy. Thank god no one was there to witness it. She was snapped out from her thoughts by some one stepping on her leg and nearly shatter her bone.
"Watch it!" Taylor snapped at the persecutor. Daley whipped her head around coming out of her daze and realizing she had just walked over Taylor's leg.
"Sorry!" Daley said coming back to reality. She had a goofy smile plastered on her face that didn't fade despite the angry look on Taylor face. Daley continued on her way down to the beach and kneeled down beside the place where they did their laundry then started washing the pile of clothes that lay beside it.
It's not like Daley to be so careless, and what is with that smile? Taylor once again assumed for tanning position and contemplated why Daley was so happy. Maybe Eric died, that'd certainly put a smile on Daley's face. Taylor heard some yelling and looked over to her right. There see saw Lex and Eric arguing, very loudly, about something that probably wasn't even worth their time. Guess that's a no to Eric's death. The old Taylor would've instantly starting spying and sleuthing, trying to figure out why Daley was so happy. The new Taylor, the Taylor she is now, will just sit back and tend to her chores. Suddenly, Taylor had a brain blast. Jackson doesn't like me anymore, because he likes the old Taylor! With that Taylor was at her feet and running in Eric's direction. He was now alone since he had finished his argument with Lex, which he undoubtedly lost.
"Eric!" Taylor said getting his attention. He looked at her and saw something he had not seen on her in a while. She had a mischievous smile plastered on her face. "I need your help. Something's going on with Daley. She's all goofy and we need to find out why."
"Is she… cahooting?" Eric asked in a serious tone. He was welcoming the old Taylor back with open arms.
"Yup, and we gotta find out with who and what it's about." Taylor said with trouble radiating from her already. They both grinned at each other knowing that their latest mission was going to be fun.
