Out of Nowhere

CHP 24 SLIP UP?

We sit and talk for another half an hour or so, other guys coming into the conversation as we wake up.
Finally, Vikk walks out, and a large amount of shouting and clapping comes his way. He bows and heads towards the kitchen.
The flow of hungry guys continues until Ryan walks out of his room.
I'll deal with him later.
I pull Rob over to the corner table to talk with him.
"You don't say anything about Ryan okay?"
"But..."
"But nothing Rob. Seriously. It'll fuck everything up."
He nods, in understanding.
We both silently get up and join the crowd again.
"Whose up for a beach day?" someone shouts.
There are shouts, and yeahs. So there's really no other option.
We're going to the beach.
"Okay, okay," Jerome says, "After breakfast, everyone pack stuff to go to the beach."
Shouts again.
Do I really want to go to the beach?
I didn't get very deep into that thought when Preston tackled me onto the couch.
We both laugh and sit up.
"I really want to say thank you for driving to get me. It means so much to me, more than you know."
I shake my head, "I obviously don't, but don't give me the credit. I drove, Rob thought the whole thing through."
He turns to look at Rob. "He's so cute isn't he?"
Preston's face turns red, realizing what he just said.
He quietly gets up and walks back by Rob.
I begin to laugh, and call Lachlan over.
"He just called Rob cute."
We both laugh.
"That's amazing. This is perfect."
"I agree, and this beach thing is going to be great." I say, even though I haven't put much thought into it.
"I agree. Those two will be all over each other."
"Whose to say they weren't last night?" I joke, with a grin.
Lachlan punches me, and joins in the giggles.
"Well, we can only hope can't we?"

I've had writers block, I've been busy, blah blah excuses excuses I know I know and I'm horribly sorry. I'm working on the story while I'm working on my color guard routine.
Thanks for your patience with me.
