     The six players approached the Vespas that were waiting for them.

  "Wait, we're sharing?", Flynn asked as he stroked one of the three bikes - the black one.

  "Oh hell yeah.", Jett cheered. "Hold on tight, Tess." He grinned as he climbed onto the bright red one.

  "I want to drive!", Erin exclaimed. "Or at least us take turns."

  "Yeah sure.", Flynn agreed. "Have you ever driven one of these?"

  Erin grinned wildly. "Nope!" She laughed which caused Flynn to crack a smile.

   "I'll start us then.", he told her.

   "I'll drive. If that's okay.", Matt told Laurelle as he walked over to the remaining yellow bike.

  "Yeah, that's fine, I'm probably the clumsiest person on the planet.", Laurelle admitted. She wrapped her arms around Matt and squeezed tightly. He smiled and started up the vehicle. The three couples drove by the coast line, pointing out beautiful mountains and the serene waves of the wicked ocean.

After riding and taking it all in, Tessa and Jett sat on the rock wall next to the sea.

"So, what was your last relationship like?", Tess asked him as she sipped her piña colada.

"Well, we dated for about 7 months?", he guessed. "And I wasn't the best boyfriend, I'll admit that. She finally got fed up with me never texting her and telling her where I was, or constantly partying and drunk-dialing her, and she broke up with me on my birthday."

"Aw, no!", Tessa shouted. "Come on, that sucks. Your birthday?"

"My birthday."

"Man...well, now you're here. And with me. What more could you want?", she laughed. He put an arm around her and they snuggled together as they finished their drinks.

Tessa: "Jett is such a pretty face on the surface but he's also so genuine and that's really something that I haven't had ever in a guy before."

Meanwhile, back at the house...

   Summer was laying out on a lounge chair next to the pool, letting the warm rays of the sun lightly bake her skin.

  "Hey, Summer.", Logan greeted as he approached her. She looked up at him from behind her sunglasses and smiled.

Summer: "Logan approaches me and I'm like 'oh God, what now?", she laughed. "It's safe to say that there's been a little drama between Logan and I and some of the other girls."

  "Uh oh.", Alex said from inside the house. He pointed in their direction, showing Fallon and Jamey what he was referring to. "Looks like trouble.", he sing-songed. Flynn jumped up from the couch and joined the three at the upstairs window.

  Flynn chuckled, "Fallon, reel that boy in."

  "Oh, no, no, no. I'm done with him, now.", Fallon sneered. "If he wants me, he'll have to come and get me."

   Logan sat next to Summer's feet. "Can we talk?"

  Summer shrugged. "Yeah, sure. About what?"
