Once we reached land we followed the guy who drove the boat to our new apartment. Like everything else about this place it was utterly perfect. It was all done in white and cream interior and the balcony overlooked the most beautiful beach I had ever seen. I pulled my suitcase into my bedroom and started to unpack. Calum came in behind me and started to open his suitcase straightening out all his clothes on the bed.
"Um could you do that in your own room?" I said aggitated. Calum smirked "There is only one bedroom darling". I looked at the double bed and then looked at him. "No way in hell!" I hissed. Calum shrugged "guess you will be sleeping on the coach then eh?" he said as he started to hang up his clothes in the wardrope next to mine. You are the guy! you should sleep on the coach!" I screeched. Calum shook his head an amused look on his face "I told you already Lani chivalry is dead" he draped an arm around my shoulder "Its not like I snore" he said pretedning to be offended. "Ugh forget it! I will sleep on the god damn coach!" I said storming out of the room. Calum jumped on the bed "more room for me".
I needed to get out away from stupid Calum before I literally strangled him. I grabbed my hot pink bikini and headed for the beach not biothering to say goodbye. What I needed now was some serious sun bathing to take my mind off having to live with such an ass face.
I found the perfect spot on the beach and managed to manouver into my bikini without flashing anyone while my towel was wrapped around me. When I was done I spread the towle on the sand and stretching out on it I started to apply sun screen.
"Hey hunny need a hand with that?" someone said from above me blocking out my sun. I looked up into the face of some greasy fat dude who was leering down at me. "No thanks, I am good" I sneered. He ignored me and plopped himself down beside me anyway his rolld of fat jiggling in the process. "Its no problem" he said grabbing the bottle off me and putting some on his hands reaching for my legs. "Don't touch me!" I shrieked pulling my legs away. His face went red in anger and he grabbed my arm "Don't talk to me like that you little bitch!" he said pushing his face up close to me.
"I would let go of her if I were you"....I looked up to see Calum glaring down at the fat grease ball angerily. Fattie stood up and sqaured up to him poking him in the chest "Oh yeah...what you going to do about it eh?" Calums jaw was set in an angry scowl "walk away or you are going to find out" he said through clenched teeth. I watched afarid to move as Mr Greasy turned back to me and ran a hand along the side of my face I slapped his hand away and looked up just in time to see Calums fist connect with his eye. He stumbled backwards and fell onto the sand. calum grabbed my arm and pulled me up "we are going home!" he told me sternly. I hadn't seen this side to Calum and I nodded in agreement. "Ok" I muttered following after him while the grease ball tried and failed to lift himself up of the ground shouting curses at us as we left.
Once we got back to the apartment Calum rounded on me immeaditly. "Whats the idea of going off on your own like that Lani, don't you think we are in enough trouble?" he shouted. I stepped back alittle stratled by his angry tone and looked at the ground "I...I just wanted to get away for a bit". "We are in a foriegn fucking country on witness protection, don't go anywhere without me again do you understand!" he shouted. I looked up at him and felt a little bubble of rage start to build in me "Where do you think you get off telling me what to do, who the hell do you think you are" I shouted back. "Look Lani I am not spending my whole time here having to worry where you are". "No one asked you to follow me" I hissed. "O' right and leaving you to get perved on was a better option?" he said throwing his hands up in the air. "Whats it to you!" Calum shook his head "You know you are such an ungreatful little bitch Lani, I save you from getting shot and from getting sleazed on and I don't get a word of thanks instead you just whine at me all the fucking time, its your fault we are in this position, if you hadn't of screamed that gun man wouldn't have even seen us" he accused. "I....I...I didn;t mean it" I said feeling tears start to sting my eyes as I rushed into the bathroom and locked the door.
"FUCK!" I heard Calum curse from outside then knocking on the door "Lani...look stop crying alright". "GO AWAY!" I shouted. "Not until you come out of there" he said from the other side of the door. "I slide down onto the floor and sobbed louder "No....you are right this is my fault". I heard Calum sigh, "I am sorry I said that Lani now please just come out". "I don't want to!" I protested childishly. I heard Calum walk away and come back to the door a minute later. "I have something for you if you come out" he said. "I don't want it" I told stubornly. "I think you will want this" he said. Curiousty was starting to get the better of me. "What is it?"...."You wont know unless you come out" Calum insisted.
Wiping my tears away I unlocked the door and opening it a crack I peered out. Calum was standing there with two bowls of nacho in his hands. "I have salsa in the kitchen" he said. I couldn;t help but smile a little. "You are still a nacho stealing jerk" I told him opening the door and following him to the kitchen "and you are still a whiny bitch" he said handing me one of the bowls and we both tucked in to the nachos.
I looked up at Calum as he ate. He had his shirt off and was wearing a long pair of black shorts. He had a seriously hot six pack and his dark hair fell messily into his eyes as he leaned over to dip a nacho into the salsa. He was kind of sort of really, really hot, he looked up and caught me looking at him and smiled at me pusing the salsa over towards me "eat up then" he said. I blushed feeling very self concious all of a sudden in my little bikini. I felt his eyes run over me as I dipped a nacho. "I have been thinking" he said I looked up at him "About what?" "Maybe the coach will be comfortable". "I thought chivalry was dead" I mocked. He shrugged "don't push your luck". I rolled my eyes "I suppose if you promise to keep to your side and you were telling the truth about not snoring" we could both sleep in the bed. Calum gave me a wink that made my tummy do a weird flip "scouts honour" he said before grabbing both the now empty nacho bowls and begin to wash them in the sink. I turned to make my way out to the blacony to watch the sun set and stopped "hey Calum" he stopped washing up to look at me "Thanks for saving me...both times" I muttered a little embarrased. He grinned at me "Anytime"
