Ryan's P.O.V

So Luke and Marie have been gone for two days now and he turned his phone off, so I guess I'll just have to wait for him to call me. His parents came by yesterday and they were pissed that he just left without telling me where he was going. At first they didn't believe me that I didn't know until they checked my phone records. Yeah his dad is a very powerful man, he can basically do whatever the fuck he wants and get away with it. He is one scary dude. Luke's mom left here crying like always, she's always been a manipulative person and she tried to get me to give in and tell them, but even if I did know, I wouldn't tell them. I just hope Luke is okay, he can do some crazy shit when he is upset. I just don't want him going back to how he used to be, but I'm sure Marie is helping him through it, I know she doesn't do anything like that. Well that's what Sarah tells me at least.

I have been staying at Sarah's house with her since Marie left, she doesn't like to be left alone. She freaks out about stuff like that for some reason. I would ask her, but it seems like a touchy subject for her, so I won't go there. Sarah and I are sitting in her living room right now eating take out from this cool Chinese restaurant down the street and watching King of the Hill. I love hanging out with Sarah, she is just so chill and it doesn't take much to please her. She seems to be enjoying my company too which is good. I feel something tiny hit my cheek, then Sarah says "Hey there mister sexy. Whatcha thinking about? You have that serious look on your face again." I look down to see a rice grain on my chest, she hit me with rice. I pick it up and eat it then look at her and smile "nothing, just worried about Luke." I say as I brush her hair behind her ear.

"I told you that you don't need to worry baby, he is with Marie and she is cool. She won't let Luke do anything that he would regret." Sarah said. I left it at that and then we started kissing passionately, she always knows just what to say.

Marie's P.O.V

Luke just went into his bedroom with a bottle of Jack, okay I'm worried now. What happened at the restaurant to make him aviod me like he has been doing since the burger place? All I did was eat off his plate, maybe he hates when people do it? I mean he is an only child, maybe he doesn't like sharing? I'm way to curious to go to sleep, so I take a shower and when I get out I put on one of my big t-shirts and some underwear. I finally get enough courage to go into Luke's room, well thanks to five travel sized bottles that were in my mini fridge in my room. I open my door quietly and grab two shot glasses from the kitchen, then I walk over to Luke's door and knock quietly, I hear Luke making some noise so I add "Luke, it's Marie, can I come in?" I hear him say yeah quietly, so I open the door.

Luke is sitting outside on the balcony in one of the two chairs, so I walk across the room to the balcony. "Hey, I thought you would like some company." I said holding up the two shot glasses from the kitchen. He nods to the chair next to him, so I sit down and grab the Jack that's on the floor next to his chair and I pour him and myself a shot, I hold it out for him to take one. He looks at my bare legs and then takes the shot glass, then he looks into my eyes and I can tell that he already drank a lot of Jack. I hold it up and say "Here's to our friendship." Luke smirks a strange smirk and shoots the shot back and it's like he just took a drink from a glass of water, it didn't even effect him. Wow, I take mine and make a little face, Jack is not my favorite. I start with "So.. what happened at the burger place tonight? One minute we were joking and having a good time, and the next minute you are all serious and not very nice."

I pour another shot for me and he hands me his shot glass for me to refill. He looks at me again and says "I don't know, I guess everything that happened with my parents and Ryan caught up with me, sorry for acting like a jerk." He says easily like he rehearsed his answer a million times. Well, I guess that makes sense, I would be worried about that too. I hand him his glass and reply "Oh, well that makes sense, you haven't really had a chance to think about it yet." I take my shot and look out at the view. Ireland is really an amazing place. I can see the city of Dublin from where we are but beside it, I can also some pastures and it looks like it goes on forever. Luke sits up quickly and the quick movement startled me, so I jumped and looked at him with panic. "What are you doing?" I ask him still trying to calm down my heart beat. He grabs my hand and pulls me up in one swift movement and answers "Let's go swimming!"

Luke got a really excited look on his face, and I can't say no to that. I laugh and say "Okay, let me go change." Luke nods in agreement, so I walk out of his room and across the living room, to my room. I'm glad I talked to him, he seems fine now, I think to myself. I grab my bathing suit and head to the bathroom, I look in the mirror and brush my hair and then throw it into a messy bun so that my hair doesn't get wet, I tie my bathing suit to my body and now I'm thinking that I should work out more. I don't have a lot of fat on my body or anything like that but I also don't have any muscle. I shrug to myself and grab one of the over sized pool towels folded up in the bathroom closet and wrap it around me. Then I throw on some flip flops and lastly I grab a few of the travel bottles to take with me. I walk out into the living room where Luke is, and damn he looks good in just his swimming trunks. Damn, he works out, I should too. I can tell he is avoiding looking at me, am I gross looking or something?

"You ready?" Luke asks me looking out the living room window. I say yeah and then he follows me out of the door, but not before grabbing the hotel room key. We get into the elevator and I smile at him as I hold up the travel bottles. He smiles to and grabs one, we get to the indoor pool and no one is in here. Cool, we have it all to our selves. Luke throws his towel on the chair next to the pool and dives in, this pool is at the deepest ten feet deep, cool, I love deep pools. I unwrap my towel and jump out of my flip flops, Luke is still under water so I use the ladder to get into the pool, I don't like getting chlorine in my hair, that shit takes forever to get out. When Luke came up for air he looks at me with a evil grin, what the fuck? He swims over to me and dives under water when he gets close and then I feel him grab my leg as he pulls me under. God damn it, I should have figured he was going to do that.

When I come up for air at the same time he does, I playfully duck him under water, he doesn't take this very well and does the same to me. We keep at it for a while and then when we're both tired we go to the shallow end and sit on the steps that are underwater. I'm giggling like a little kid and he's laughing so hard I'm surprised that he wasn't dying from lack of oxygen. I look at him and say "Hey, we should get into the hot tub with the rest of my travel bottles." Before he can even answer I'm out of the pool and walking over to our stuff, I look back when I don't hear him coming and see him staring at my ass. I smile and tell him "See anything you like back there?" That gets him out of his little trance and he jogs out of the pool and over to me, Now I'm staring at him like a dumb ass and he clears his throat to get my attention and says "See anything like right here?" I look up at him and then shake my hair in his face as I grab the travel bottles and head over to the hot tub. "Coming?" I laugh at him and he replies "Right behind you."

Once we get into the hot tub we start talking and drinking one after the other of the bottles, I don't know how long we were in there but I started to prune. So I sit up and just put my feet in the hot tub, I'm feeling really good right now and I can tell Luke is too. He comes over to where I am sitting, him still in the hot tub and he starts playing with my feet and legs, I lean my head back and moan. The combination of the alcohol, hot tub, and an extremely hot guy is starting to get to me. I'm so relaxed right now. I bring my head back forward where it was and Luke's face is now two inches from mine. I look into his deep ocean eyes and get lost in them, it feels like he is staring into my soul. I start to lean closer to him and he does the same, the next thing I know we are making out. I forget about how he is a player and just give myself into him. He stands up in the hot tub so I wrap my legs around his waist bringing him closer to me. And the next thing I know I hear a door open and a man that works here says "Hey, the pool is closed guys." Luke pulled away from me and I saw nothing but regret in his eyes.
