Red, Hot Summer

DAY 12 - A little less conversation...

NOAH

For a man who'd spent his afternoon making out with a beautiful woman, he hadn't slept well at all last night. Hope had been really affectionate when she'd got back from her date with Jakub, assuring him that she wasn't interested in him at all. She'd told him she'd been bored to tears on their date and had spent the whole afternoon missing him instead, but then she spent the evening snapping at him and bossing him around. When they'd got into bed she'd spent a good hour showing him just how much she'd missed him, and it had been incredible. When he was with her, there was no one else inside him head and as he'd made love to her last night he tried to forget what he'd done whilst she was away. Hope's side of the bed was already empty this morning. He needed to tell Scarlett it was not going to happen again, she had nothing to lose and he had everything to lose, but as he looked at her laughing with Bobby, looking sexy as hell in one of his t-shirts, he knew it wasn't going to be an easy conversation.

"I'm not a gorilla," Gary announced loudly, snapping Noah from his thoughts. 

"You totes are, look at you, all big and hairy and hunky!" Chelsea piped up. Lottie scowled at her as she slid her arms around Gary and snuggled into his side.

"You're a sexy gorilla though," Priya laughed from where she was lying in bed with her head on Lucas' chest.

"Okay, I'll take that," Gary laughed as Lottie turned to scowl at Priya instead.

"A sexilla!" Bobby announced.

"Did you just put sexy and gorilla into one word?" Lottie said, rolling her eyes.

"Sure did," Bobby replied.

"That should be one of our words," Rahim said.

"It's no ice robot," Bobby said.

"Poor Henrik, you guys - that was mean," Scarlett said, sighing as she thought of him again. She wondered if what Chelsea had said was true, was he still waiting for her to get home to him? Would everything be different if he'd stayed?

"Sexilla is lacking a certain panache, je ne sais quoi!" Bobby continued. 

"You've totally lost me now," said Gary, beating his chest like Tarzan as Chelsea bounced up and down on her bed, clapping her hands. 

"Oh I know, I know what they're doing. Like they did to Lucas and Henrik! Making up new wor-" Chelsea began before Bobby reached over and clapped his hand over her mouth. They all looked around the room for Jakub but he was no where to be seen.

"Bet he's in the gym," Rahim laughed.

"So, we're pranking Jakub then?" Gary said and Chelsea bounced even higher on her bed, nipple slipping every time. Scarlett pulled her back down before she completely escaped her pyjama top.

"Let's do it, he's a tool," Scarlett said and the others looked at her in surprise. "What? You're all thinking it!"

"Yeah, he's got it coming," Gary said. "Did you see him ironing his socks before he went out yesterday?! So, what's the word?"

"If we do this, you've got to all promise not to ruin it, everyone agreed?" Rahim said. "Chelsea?!" He said, turning to look at her.

"You must all swear it on...." Bobby said in an ominous voice.

"The valour of Violet Man!" Rahim announced, leaping onto the bed.

"We pledge our silence on Violet Man," the others chorused in peals in laughter.

"I'm in, it's nice not to be the new guy anymore," Lucas grinned.

"Noah, my man? Are you in?" Bobby called across the room. "Get your butt out of bed and join us!" Slowly, Noah walked across the room and Bobby pushed him down onto his bed so that he was sat next to Scarlett. As their bare thighs touched, Noah felt goosebumps all over his skin and the hair on his arms stood on end. God, her skin was so perfect, smooth and tanned, he wanted to slowly peel off all her clothes and run his hands over every inch of her. "Noah, are you in?" Bobby said, waving his hand in his face.
