Chapter 22..

Two hours later and after a lot more banging and pleading on the door from our friends, Luke and I made our way out of my room to join up with everyone to go to the beach. Travis was right it was a brilliant day. Jack and I watched as Luke, Travis, Ian and Pete took on four random strangers at a game of volleyball. Believe it or not Pete had thought to invite Mia, who was sitting just off to one side of us filing her nails. Jack and I had tried, as the good people we are, to get her in on our conversations but she just ignored us and followed Luke and Travis around with her eyes the whole time. At one point I had to hold Jack down when Mia wondered over to the sidelines and started talking to Travis, and put her hand on his arm, as she congratulated him on his last point then walking off and slapping Luke on the ass.

'Thought you didn't care who he flirted with?' I smirked.

'I do when it's that bitch.' She growled giving Mia the evils with her eyes as she flitted about on the waters edge, eating up the attention she was getting from the randoms.

'Oh just forget her, look at Travis, he doesn't seem effected by her at all, he hasn't even looked at her since she left.'

'Yeah but Luke is!' She frowned

'He is?'

We both burst out laughing at Luke's expression. He had just turned to say something to Travis and was acting it out in an over exaggerated strut and toss of his non existent hair. He must have heard us laughing at him because he quickly stopped his performance and spun around to play again.

Mia came and sat down again with a satisfied smirk on her face but we just ignored her and continued to watch the game. Which of course the guy's decided to celebrated their win by dunking us in the ocean. Jack and I protested in the usual female way, sprinting off away from them and then shrieking and struggling when they caught us, but eventually taking the boys in with us. But when Pete grabbed Mia all hell broke loss. She screamed and bitched all the way into the ocean then slapped Pete through the face as hard as she could before stalking off to her car, leaving us all staring after her in complete shock.

'Well I'll be damned.' Pete moaned rubbing his cheek. 'That's the last time I invite her anywhere.'

'You ok Pete?' I asked walking over to look at his face.

'Yeah I'll be fine, that's got to be the first time I've been slapped. Man it stings like a bitch.' He joked brushing my hand away. He had a perfect imprint of a hand across his cheek and you could tell it hurt but being a guy he was playing it off as nothing as we made our way back to our towels.

'Well good riddance, we don't need her polluting our air anyway.' Jack laughed stretching herself out on her towel. I saw Travis checking her out from the corner of my eye and had to laugh at the longing in his eyes.

'What's so funny?' Luke asked grabbing me around my waist pulling me back to his chest and kissing my neck.

'Oh nothing.' I giggled.

'Tell me.'

'I was just laughing at the whole situation. It's nothing.' I sighed.

'You're lying.' He laughed

'I am not.' I insisted but even as I spoke I felt myself beginning to blush.

'You so are.' He said as his smile faded a bit. 'What's going on?' Travis had gotten up and was half way back to the water edge to get the ball but Jack started fiddling in her bag avoiding eye contact at all costs.
