44. tea lights

We step down infront of the water as I watch Cliff and Ledger pull their shirts off throwing them down on a rock before stepping in followed by Willow and Nova. They are perfectly skinny and clearly work out a lot, Willow has god damn abs. How am I supposed to compete with that.

Malek and Aaron go in next, sitting on the opposite side of the large hot spring. Jesse starts to take her shirt off so I follow suit, swallowing hard as I rest my shirt with the others feeling really insecure next to all these other girls.

I step into the water and notice Cliff is watching me with a grin evident on his face and I feel really exposed now.

I turn to Malek and he's watching me as-well he eyes are glued to me with a grin clear on his face too.

I sink into the water and I feel him reach out and grab my hand, pulling me into him as I can see the amusement in his face. He likes the bathing suit.

"Your insane" he says softly as I float in-front of him making me blush as I look away.

"Cliff has never hated me more" he says in a low voice only I can hear over everyone talking around us

"Why" I say looking back at Cliff but he isn't looking our way anymore almost on purpose.

"Because I can do this" Malek says grinning before lifting his hand out of the water and grabbing my face before kissing me

A second passes before I kiss him back, I feel him bite my lip playfully. I pull away looking at him as he keeps looking back and forth from my eyes to my lips.

"Oh I brought these" Nova says remembering something before stepping out of the water and grabbing something before turning back around.

It's tea lights, she starts to resting them around the sides as Malek lights them one by one making everyone smile.

I float in between Maleks legs as he holds me against his chest as I turn to Jesse

"This place is insane" Jesse says smiling at me from Aaron's lap

"I can't believe we're in Hawaii right now, last week we where in a prison cell" I say and Malek and Aaron nod with Jesse.

I look around the tub when I see Holly talking to Smith and something tells me they are going to get together. Nova and Willow are talking aswell across from us while all the other guys are down on the other end talking in a group.

"Nova" Jesse says scanning the group aswell

"Yeah" she says turning to us

"Truth or dare" Jesse grins and I roll my eyes at her. She loves this game too much.

"Jesse" I say looking at her

"It's a good ice breaker game, it's fun" Jesse smiles and Nova and Willow turn facing us agreeing with her

"Truth?" She asks unsure

"How many of the guys in this tub have you slept with" Jesse says and my jaw drops. She's starting to strong.

Novas face goes red as she lifts her hands out of the tub covering her mouth looking at the guys on the other end as they are talking still

She drops her one hand and cupping her mouth so only we can see and says "two" before laughing with Willow

What two? Jeremy, Cliff or Ledger? Obviously ledger has to be one of them?

"Ivy, truth or dare" Nova says and I sit unsure for a few seconds
