James started for the shore and Logan was hollering after him, "Come back here. You wanted me and now you have me. Let's finish this."

James turned back to him, "Its done. Just stay away from her!"

Logan hollered, "Oh its far from done!"

James stopped swimming toward the shore and turned back toward Logan, "You really want to do this? Right here? Right now?" he asked.

Logan yelled, "Well yeah. At least in here we are equals. You may be able to out power me on land but in here we are on common ground."

I was watching this all and just shook my head. Finally, I had had enough and walked to the edge of the pier, "STOP IT NOW BOTH OF YOU! GROW THE HELL UP!"

They swam toward the pier and hung on to the side of it right next to me and I sat down, "You two are something else." I turned to Logan, "You with your jealousy." and I turned to James, "And you thinking you're my protector..."

James interrupted, "You called ME asking for help. All I'm trying to do is what you asked."

Logan added, "And I swear to you I'm not a jealous person. I just wish I knew what it was about you that makes me this way."

I looked at them both, "Do you think you have cooled off enough to get out and talk about this like adults now?"

James got close to Logan and stuck his hand out, "I'm so sorry bro. I don't know what came over me. It was Ariana all over again."

Logan hesitated but took James' hand, "No I'm sorry. I keep forgetting about that. I should be a better friend to you."

James laughed slightly, "Yeah you really should but I shouldn't go around knocking people out either."

Logan laughed, "Yeah you do have a short fuse when it comes to women."

I was standing on the pier not sure exactly what they were talking about but asked, "Okay now that you two are lovers again can we get out of the water?" I smiled slightly.

James lifted himself onto the pier and helped Logan out of the water. I looked at James, "Why were you swimming for the shore if you could had gotten out right here?" I asked.

He smiled at me, "I wasn't sure if he would try to pull me back in." he laughed putting his arm around Logan.

Logan joked back, "I just might have. Wasn't going to let you get the best of me again. Especially not in front of her."

I looked at James, "Who is Ariana?" I asked.

I could see the look on his face turn to sorrow, "Let's not talk about that right now. Let's see if we can settle this thing between you and Logan first." He kissed me on the cheek, "I promise I will tell you though."

James and Logan were shivering from the wind coming in off the water and I asked, "Should we go somewhere for you guys to dry off?"

They both laughed but it was Logan that said, "No we aren't going anywhere until we talk."

We sat on the edge of the pier with me between them and Logan started, "I really, honestly had no idea. When I came into your room and laid down next to you, you rolled over and put your arms around me and told me that you had been waiting for me." He paused, "I thought it was odd, but I was happy that you were waiting on me." He stopped, "Wait, what all do you remember?"

I told Logan about the 'dream' I had.

He leaned close to me, "Well at least you remember the most important part." he chuckled. "There really isn't much more to it. After that we laid there, and I held you in my arms for what seemed like minutes but was actually hours. I almost missed my flight because I was watching you sleep."
