Alex, Nathan and Simon sat round a fire that Simon had made down on the beach. Nathan had called it family time, he had to beg and beg for his mother to come with them, and eventually she gave in. She was now sat with a blanket wrapped round her shoulders and her eyes. Nathan was roasting marshmallows over the flames, he asked his mother to join in with him, but she said she wasn't very hungry and roped Simon into doing it with him.

"So, now you and Katie are getting divorced, are you moving back in with the other boys?" Alex asked out of curiosity.

"Yeah...I'm going to visit my parents for a week, and I'm going to explain to them about Katie and everything, and then by the time I get back I'll have decided what I'm going to do- do I give Katie another chance or not?" He says and Alex's eyes widen at his question.

"No, you do not. She cheated on you, and got herself pregnant," Alex says, trying to keep her voice down with Nathan sat just a metre in front of her.

"I guess, but technically I cheated on her too," Simon comments and Alex sighs.

"Yes you did, but she knew that, she came all up in my face and told me to keep my slutty chef hands off you," Alex says and Simon chuckles lightly at Alex's impression of Katie.

"I wish this wasn't as fucked up as it is," Simon says and he becomes distracted by a girl who looks to be a year or two younger that Simon, his eyes looked her up and down and she gave him a gorgeous smile.

"Hey you! Come over here?!" The girl calls and Alex looks at Simon as he tells Nathan to stay put while he goes to speak to the girl.

Alex watches, eyes scanning over the girl- she'd seen her before, she was a university drop out that had come back here to live with her parents. Alex turned her attention to the sea, the waves were calm this evening and they made Alex feel better.

"Do you want one mommy?" Nathan asks, holding the marshmallow towards her.

"No thanks buddy, you eat that one," Alex says and Nathan smiles and bites down into his marshmallow, the melted goo oozing in his mouth.

"What about your friend over there, why doesn't she wanna talk to us?" The girl says, she was talking to Simon but said it loud enough for Alex to hear.

"I'm busy," Alex replies and the girl smiles.

"Too bad, you're pretty hot," The girl calls back and Alex's eyes widen, looking from Simon to the girl.

"Thanks," Alex says, a light smile gracing her lips.

Simon says bye to the girls and walks back over to Alex and Nathan, sitting down on the blanket.

"Turns out they called me over to ask if you were a lesbian," Simon says and Alex smirks.

"And your cocky ass thought they wanted your attention," Alex laughs, her smile wide.
