The Secret

Ch. 12 | Vegas, Day III

Travis stood wet from the shower with his towel wrapped around his waist at the foot of my bed in my suite. "You're coming to the Day Party today" he brushed his wet hair back with his fingers looking at me. I could get the dirty thoughts out of my mind and Travis standing there wet and naked under the one piece of fabric tucked in hanging on for dear life begging to have a malfunction, I bit my lip and I covered my face with the blankets "No!" digging my face into the down pillow.

"No? Yes you are, and Jen is coming in a few hours. Mason went to go pick her up from the airport." He's so fucking clueless what's going on in my mind right now. How cute.
I groaned still feeling sore "The hangover is strong." It was and my head was pounding more than ever. I felt a slight itch but it was only from the sting which I still was feeling.
"Lucky for you, you have a best friend who loves and adores the shit out of you, and I brought you these." He lifted a container of Ibuprofen and vitamin b-12 with a smile and set them on the nightstand. "I know you better than you think, Banī." He proudly said with a smirk. That's wonderful, Travis but, how about you get yourself back into this bed?
"Travis!" I complained, "I'm fine right here for a while."
He sat staring at me and tucked my bangs behind my ear, "You're coming out." He laid himself next to me back in the comforter and hovered enough that I can smell him fresh from the shower. Something that's always drove me up the wall since we were in high school when I would stay over with Mason.

"CANNONBALL ASSHOLES!"

"No, you asshat!" Sarai shouted back at Fabian as he cannon-balled off the diving board into the pool.

"You just took out three little kids, you dickwad!" Skylar laughed hysterically. One of the kid's parents gave Fabian an eye of death as he emerged from the water and wiped his face. "No one told them to bring their kids to Vegas where a bunch grown drunk blokes and ditsballs are fondling eachother." Fabes gestured to the couple making out harshly under a cabana across from ours as he chuckled and the parents of the kids noticed by Fabian's blunt words, took their kid's back inside. I turned to Brianne who was sitting next to me with her legs rested up and reading her book. The cute bun in her hair complimented the mirrored shades she had on that matched her bright orange bikini. She winced a little as she put the book down back in her bag and adjusted herself upright. I sat up toward her and set my beer down on the table beside me. I gestured my hand out to her, "C'mon, Banī." I smiled and nodded my head for her to get up. She looked up at me like I was fucking nuts and took her shades off. Her eyes told me a thousand words and she didn't need to say a single thing to me. I already knew what was going on in that beautiful head of hers. "Come in the water with me. It'll help you feel a little better." I suggested. "I'll help you up." I smiled and gestured my hand out to her. "Nope. I'm okay." Bri sat back against the chair and put her sunglasses back on. "Fine. Suit yourself." I smiled and rounded to the diving board and dived off. As soon as I hit the bottom of the pool, my thoughts immediately never lost focus on Bri. I emerged from the water and wiped the water from my face. She was sitting at the edge of the shallow end with her feet in the water. I swam over to her and leaned my arms over the side next to her knees. "You coming in?" I smiled up at her in hopes that she was going to. She let down the bun from her hair and tucked it behind her. The look she gave me wasn't hard for me to read. She smiled softly and looked down into the water and I helped her in with care. "Slow." I said low enough for only her to hear my voice. "Yeah." She said smiling as she dunked under once the water was passed her waistline. I leaned back against the edge watching her. She was so graceful as she emerged back up and she wrapped her arms around my shoulders and I held her by her hips. Everyone else was doing dives and crazy swim moves in the water. On normal Travis days, I would be doing the same, but considering the events of last night and this morning, I had my mind elsewhere and on someone more important.
