Night

Surprise

"Who are those two now?" Febbs asked as we were on our way to our tent.

I looked at what Febba was talking about.

Valerian came out shirtless out of his tent with his arms wrapped around two pretty blonde girls. They smiled seductively at him, trialing their hands down his six pack.
Somehow he managed to get a slight golden tan in the week we spent here.

"I think the one on the right is Chloe.... they change every day" I lifted the tent cover, unbothered by what that guy does during his spare time.

Febba seemed unamused

"Is he planning on sleeping with everyone here? I mean we all know he's hot and probably the most attractive guy alive but he really should get a limit"

I laughed. "Do you realize that if he sleeps with every girl we know it might mean he's slept with every girl on earth"

Febba's green eyes widened with that sentence. Then a moment later she thought of something and then squinted her eyes.

"Nah, Augustus already accomplished that one"

That was true. Augustus had slept with everyone here and on the space station.

Febba began observing me.

"Do you not notice Augustus staring at you at times?"

I made a confused face. Truthfully I did kinda get that impression. Maybe because I seem to look at him a bit more than I'm supposed to, and maybe he began noticing my creepiness...

But I wasn't going to admit anything.

"What do you mean?"

Febba made an unconvincing face.

"Have you lost your mind?!"

"What?"

"Oh you know what"

I raised an eyebrow at her.

Her response was an eye roll.

"Are you crushing on Augustus?"

That question actually caught me off guard. He was very cute I'll admit that...

"We became friends, Febba, just that"

At this point she gave up on me, and with another eye roll she looked down at what she was doing and muttered "for now"

I was about to protest but a sequence of footsteps approaching us from outside the tent interrupted me.

A bob of blonde hair popped up from the entrance. Blue eyes shone with happiness at the sight of my best friend. A smile formed on his lips.

"Am I interrupting?"

Febba's expression instantly changed from annoyance to happiness at the sight of Aden.

"Hey, it's fine come in"

Aden entered the tent and looked around.

"Are you working on something?"

I silently smirked. It's Febba, why is he asking that.

Febba began explaining the radio transmission device she was working on this whole week. I think she's at her finishing touches if I'm not wrong.

"...we will be able to contact them in a few hours, I'm just securing this device so that it won't be able to fall apart if any storm or strong wind blows..."

Aden listened with all his attention. His eyes kept darting between Febba and the device she was talking about. Although I noticed he liked to keep them on Febba a lot more often.
