Stay

Chapter 6

Avi's Point of View

"Where's... wait... where?" I mumbled. Just was I said that, Scott walked in.

"What was that, Avi?" He laughed.

"Scott, where's my swimming suit?"

"What?"

"I said where's my swimming suit!" I quoted.

"Why do you need to know!?" He screamed in a high pitch voice, going along with the joke.

I smiled as I tore my suitcase apart looking for my swim trunks.

"Anyway, I came here to ask you something... promise you won't tell Mitch!" He whispered, closing the door.

'Finally! He's gonna tell me that he's madly in love with Mitch! It's about time he's come to his senses!' I smiled like an idiot and promised.

"I don't know if I can trust you... pinky promise?" He suggested, holding out his pinky. ' He is such a child...' I wrapped mine around his and shook it a few times.

"Okay, now. What was it you were gonna ask me?" Acting like I didn't already know.

"Did anything happen with me and Mitch last night?" He had a worried expression on his face and so did I. "Mitch says nothing happened but I have a feeling something did... he's hiding something!"

"Scott... I was with you guys all night, nothing happened..." I answered truthfully.

"Wh- wait... nothing?" He clarified.

"No, you two got married, had 4 kids and you have cancer," I answered sarcastically, "Nothing. Happened."

"Okay... whew! I thought you know..." he shoved his hands in his pockets, looking at the floor, his face red.

"Why? Did you want something to happen??" I questioned, determined to get a love confession out of him.

"What? Y-NO!!! No no no no! Of, pfft, course not! I mean...." he continued to rambled but I stopped listening after a while. He was obviously lying.

"Well, I'm going to get ready, so..." I shooed him out of my room, with his mouth still rambling.

I slammed the door in his face and remembered I didn't pack a swim suit.

I pulled on some khaki shorts with a button up white shirt, rolling up the sleeves.

"Okay, I know for a fact I brought sandals!" I mumbled under my breath. 'Maybe I left them in Kirstie's room last night...'

I walked down the hall and walked into the last door on the left.

Words cannot describe how red my face was once I walked in on Kirstie trying to get her bikini on.

"OH MY GOD AVI!! EVER HEARD OF KNOCKING?!" She yelled, covering her chest.

I covered my eyes and held my free hand up in defence.

"I am so sorry! I just came for my sandals!" I explained. A few moments later I felt a pair of sandals in my hand.

"Well, since you're here, help me tie this." She said. I opened my eyes and saw her back turned and holding two little strings.

I walked up and tied it in a tight knot as she pulled her hair to one side, away from her back, making it easier for me.

"Thanks," she said, turning around.

My jaw nearly dropped. She was wearing a flowery bikini with some sparkly stuff on the top and bottom.

"Where's your swim suit?" I snapped out of my thoughts.
