A few hours and many shops later, our group decided it was time to go back to the hotel.  A nice dip in the pool sounded really good to our aching bodies.

We caught a bus back and braced ourselves for twice the trouble. As if on cue, when we got up to the top floor, Faye and Vanessa were waiting for us.

"You guys finally made it! I was a little upset you didn't wait for me to come back with Faye, not gonna lie." Vanessa put her hands on her hips and pouted.

She had changed so much from when I last saw her. The beautiful auburn hair that used to cascade down her back was now chopped to a pixie cut, and the color had been changed to platinum blonde. The other addition was a large gold septum piercing.

"Nice to see you Vanessa," I sighed.

"I would say what she said, but it's never nice to see you," Brian crossed his arms.

He absolutely hated her. As much, or even more than Faye hated me. Apparently back in freshman year they were dating and then he walked in on her cheating on him with his best friend and his brother.

I guess he never got over it. I don't blame him, especially since it was all people he trusted.

Teddy nodded his head, "What he said."

So there's more to the story. A few months after Brian and Vanessa broke up, Teddy wanted to get back at her for cheating, so he pretended to want to date her. They went out for a while until he built up her trust in him. Then he intentionally brought a girl over and knew she would be coming by later.

Needless to say, she was furious and admitted to cheating on Teddy with someone else as well. Anyway, both guys are made cause she can't keep her legs closed and was living a lie to them for a while.

"I agree with Lily, it is nice to see you," Shawn added.

She batted her eyelashes at him, "At least someone is excited to see me."

Brian snorted and stomped away to his room.  I was getting a little annoyed at her as well.  She seemed to be thriving by knowing everyone was uncomfortable.

"Okay, well I'm going to go to my room," Shawn looped his arm around my waist.

I smiled up at him and nodded, "I'll come with."

"We can all go," Faye added.

"Um, I don't think that would be wise..." Shawn trailed off.

"Oh come on, it's not like I'd try to kiss you."  She turned to me, "That would be something only a jerk would do."

Shawn's grip on my waist tightened, and I could see Teddy ball his fists up.  The two of us walked away from her and towards our room.  As far as I knew, the plan was still to meet at the pool.

Once we got inside, I changed into the orange bathing suit from the other day.  Shawn was wearing a pair of red and white striped swim trunks and a white tank top. Not gonna lie, he looked hot.

"I'm ready," he combed his fingers though his hair.

"Same."

We took each other's hand and walked out the door together. I assumed the others had already beaten us to the pool.  Also, I'm guessing Faye and Vanessa were going go be there as well.

At this hotel, the pool was outside.  And there was even two jacuzzis.  Not too many people were here, just a young couple with their son, and an old man who was sunbathing.

Sure enough, Teddy and Brian were splashing around in the deep end while Faye and Vanessa were hanging in one of the jacuzzis.

We did a cannon ball and joined the guys. Soon after, the girls joined us. Teddy and Brian suddenly got mellow as soon as their bodies touched the water.
