once we got settled into the hotel i placed my suitcase by the wall and lay back in the bed
"alright, sleeping situation what is it?" shane asks
"alana and i in a bed you and conner in one"owen quickly says
"no wa-"
"already settled" he cuts me off
i roll my eyes and grab my phone from my back pocket
"we're together for the next few days you can't hate me forever" owen says laying closely next to me
"personal space?" i push him away from me and go back to being on my phone
"lets go to the pool" he whispers
"no"
"oh come onnn you're so boring"
"you know you can do stuff without me right"
"what's the fun in that" he smirks
"go to the pool i'll be here"
"i'm only going if you go"
"owen..."
"cmon, we're on this trip for the next few day together let's do something" he whines
"fine"

i grab a bathing suit from my suitcase and go to the bathroom

i walk out of the bathroom and owens eyes are on me
"take a picture it will last longer"
"if you insist"
before he has time to pull out his phone i throw on one of his shirts
"well i'm gonna head down to the pool since it's clear none of you are ready to go yet" i say throwing a pair of sandals on and heading out the door

it would have been easier to have one of the boys with me so i didn't have to get lost alone.
i don't know my way around this hotel at all so that was problem one
problem two was about 15 minutes later i realized i forgot my towel and started my journey back to the hotel as i am getting to my floor i see lexi walking out of the room putting her shoes on and wearing one of owens shirts

"oh alana...you here to see owen?" she asks
"uh yea it's kinda my room"
"oh! sorry the bed might be a little, hm, messy in there"

i was gone for less than 30 minutes-
as she walks by me biting her lip and shrugs and i roll my eyes when i get to the door and walk in i see owen sitting on the edge of bed putting his shoe on wearing his bathing suit.
"you forgot a towel" he says
"why do you think i came back"
"what's the attitude for?" he asks
"did you just have sex with lexi on our bed?"
his eyes widen
"what!? no" he says sprouting up from the bed
"mhm"
"why would you think that"
"because she walked out one of your shirts, and told me the bed might be a little messy...which it is" i say looking at the comforter almost off the bed and the pillows scattered on the bed.

"no alana, she came to ask who i was rooming with then she spilt her coffee so i gave a shirt"
it makes sense but i know what she was doing
"she just made it see-"
"she does that, she's been doing it for a while now she thinks her and i are together and any girl i have a conversation with to she wants to ruin it" he cuts me off
"i'm sorry i guess"
"don't be sorry that you were jealous"he smirks
"i'm not jealous i'm sorry i didn't want another's girls body where i was going to be sleeping"
"whatever you say"
"were not dating i have no reason to be jealous"i remind him
"are we going to the pool or no" he asks
"yeah"

once we get to the pool i set my things down on a chair and owen does the same
"so, tell me about lexi"
"what would you like to know?"
"why she's obsessed with you"
"we used to hook up at every party, and when there isn't party she would always come over but she hasn't lately"
"why"
"because i have to deal with your drunk ass every party" he laughs
"hey you don't have to you chose to"
"yeah yeah yeah"

i see conner and shane walking towards us
"hey guys" shane says sitting down on the ground next to owens chair
"why aren't you guys in the pool aren't you hot?"
it was pretty hot but i didn't feel like going in right now
"yeah alana let's go in"
"no i think i'm ok"i quickly say
"too bad i don't take no for an answer"
he grabs my arm lifting me from the chair and pulls me towards the pool
"owen dont i still have my shirt on" i say trying to pull him back to the chairs
"my shirt" he lifts me up drawing attention to the two of us
"i don't want to get wet owen!!" i shout
everyone around us is laughing, well everyone except lexi which made this even better

he jumps in the pool and suddenly i am engulfed in the coolness of the water
once we come up for air my face meets his
"i hate you" was the only thing i said
"no you don't"
"with a passion" i quickly say
"oh i bet"
"and you're sleeping on the floor" with that i get up and walk out of the pool with owen following closely behind
when we get back to our seats lexi is sitting in owens
i keep my mouth closed and sit down where i was, letting him and lexi work this one out while i sit back and observe
"you're in my seat"  he says
"i know" she grabs his hands and pulls him down so their faces are lined up
"sit with me" she adds

owen looks at me as if he was asking for help and i shrug
lexi leans back in her chair but i remain unbothered, i know what she's doing and i don't care. clearly
owen doesn't either

i feel bad for him though, she can't take the hint that he doesn't like her and he's trying to be nice about it.
