"So did you shag the girl?"

Wow. Always straight to the point, isn't he?

Shoving Gustave lightly, I avoid meeting Julie and Gustave's eyes, already regretting having told them about my whereabouts of last night. "I was drunk."

"That's not what he asked", Julie chuckles. "But your answer told us exactly what we needed to know."

"Hmm, I guess one way to get over Bailee is to get under someone else", Gustave mutters.

My eyebrows raise. "What makes you think I was 'under' her?"

"It was just a figure of speech", Gustave rolls his eyes. "But I am damn sure that you would not top. At least with Bailee. She would dominate you in bed, for fucking sure."

Wait... We were talking about the girl from last night, right? So, what the hell does Bailee have to do with this?

"This wasn't even about Bailee", I frown. "And don't underestimate me, literally."

Julie laughs. "Ooh, that was a good one."

"Thank you", I smile at her in appreciation before I flip my hair over my shoulder sassily.

Joining the others to walk back last night, I only then realized how drunk I truly still was, which seemed kinda weird to me because at the end of the night, I didn't drink a lot. And either Julie, Gustave or Bailee supported me by my waist so I wouldn't fall. In my defense, walking on the uneven sand in the dark is kinda hard. And, every sip of alcohol that gets taken makes it even more difficult. Moreover, all four of us were hobbling a bit, it wasn't just me... When nearing the beach house, Julie decided to sleep in the villa as well. Gustave slept on the couch, and Julie joined me in bed. I didn't care who joined, I was sure I would fall asleep, even if had to sleep next to Josh, I was that exhausted. I fell asleep almost immediately after brushing my teeth, I guess. However, this morning, I woke up very fucking tired anyway, sleep didn't help me at all. Eventually, I joined Gustave and Julie for breakfast, and they immediately started asking questions. Since Josh and the kids are on a grocery shopping tour, and Bailee on a morning run, I gave in at some point and decided to just tell them about my night. And they just had to ask further, wanting to know all the details.

For a little while, Gustave and Julie interrogate me about the girl, whom I know nothing about either. But when Bailee gets back from her run, fortunately, they shut up. She greets us, and I awkwardly smile back. I'm sure she didn't hear what we talked about, but still... It feels weird.

"Ah, water", Bailee sighs in relief as she grabs Julie's glass and gulps it down.

"Sure, suit yourself", Julie chuckles.

Bailee looks exhausted, which I get. One tiny, little sprint and I would faint probably, let alone going on a run for at least an hour... Especially since it is pretty hot already, I don't know how she can find the motivation to go on a run, but whatever she feels like, I guess.
Her cheeks are flushed, and her face and neck and arms- literally her whole body, has a sweaty glow. Her hair is in a ponytail, but a few strands are hanging loosely in front of her face. It looks kinda wild, like the ponytail had a hard time staying good due to the intensity of the run. She is wearing short sports leggings and a sports bra. Her outfit accentuates her body perfectly, also leaving her toned stomach free for the world to see. I immediately move my gaze away before inappropriate thoughts can enter my mind.

Did she wear that on purpose to make me have a hard time?

Ugh, of course not, Tess. Don't be stupid. Not everything is about you... That is literally the most comfortable fit to wear when running but you wouldn't know, would you?
