Salty Friends and Straight Guys:

Eddy's P. O.V.

A dainty body wriggles beneath my grip, awakening me; my eyes fluttering open as I process my surroundings.

"Good morning baby."  Tralee whispers to me, her body squishing into mine - a slightly foreign feeling;  my body somewhat used to awakening in another's arms - the cold touch of the wall on my back an aggressive reminder.  The purple stain on her neck flashes me back to last night, my anger released through her body.

"Edmond you were amazing last night...I didn't even recognise you...it was like I was with a whole different person."  She blushes in reminisce, my fight with Justin fuelling me enough to seduce her into breaking celibacy - and she was surprisingly good for not having had done it for months.

"Yeah.  I feel like a different person."  My confession going unnoticed as she rolls around my sheets in awe.  I stretch out, my gaze roaming out to the beautiful morning sky greeting us.

"It's hot today.  We should go for a swim baby."  Tralee suggests.  Unbeknownst to her, I already went to the lake last night with Justin.  I should have never gone.

"No."  I shoot back bluntly, her eyes furrowing in confusion at my harsh tone and off demeanour. 

"Are you feeling alright baby...you're acting...different?"  Her caring tone flows through her words as she pulls her bra on, closing the distance between us.

"I'm going to the gym."  I dodge her question, ignoring her pleas to come back to bed as I rummage through my laundry in search of my gear.

"OOoooh I'll come baby - I just renewed my student pass."  She announces giddily, my escape plan slowly fading into the distance.

"No...uh...you can't..."  I interject, her curious gaze wandering over me - my mind rattling to formulate an excuse.  "Because I'm going to the one all the way over by the mall...and you don't have a membership there."

"Why are you going so far?"

"They have um...better machines.  Bye!"  I scream as I exit the door, ready to leave my own room to get away from her.

Justin's P.O.V.

My eyes snap open, awakening me.  I spread my arms out across the empty bed, disappointedly finding nothing but space.  With the alcohol out of my system I scrape my hands down my face, unsuccessfully attempting to repress the embarrassment of last night's rejection via Eddy... well... second rejection.  But it didn't even hurt;  because it was just a joke.  Yeah.  Just a joke.  Stupid alcohol, got me acting up.

Pushing myself out of bed, I gather together an outfit out of my drawers - unwilling to stay cooped up in my room all day.  The sunlight lathers me in warmth as I step outside, appreciating the true beauty of nature - my walk unintentionally leading me back to the lake.

I pause, saddened by the events about what unfolded in the hours of the night past - even if the events were my fault.  My feet halt as I reminisce in the middle of the footpath, staring out across the sparkling blue lake.  Eddy's eyes are blue.  

Time freezes as I watch the swans float effortlessly on the edge - the same pair still mimicking a heart - this time the sign a tad more solemn.

"Hey!  Watch out!"  Someone on a skateboard screams, my reaction time not fast enough before I feel them smack into me - my body cascading towards the ground;  the solid earth a rude awakening.

Through dazed vision I stare up at the sky, a stranger's shadow protecting my eyes from the streaming sun - his blond curls falling over his face as he reaches his hand out - symbolic of an olive branch.

"Fuck.  I'm so sorry dude."  He says between giggles, wiping his blond curls out of his eyes - his hand pulling me up off of the ground.  There's something about the way he says words - his chill Californian accent refreshingly new against the everyday accents of the bustling city.

"Um it's alright.  I probably shouldn't have been standing in middle of the pathway anyways."
