What Happens Under The Sun

*~Tom's Point of View~*

She left my room and I sat down on the couch and picked up my guitar. I started to strum as I waited for the knocking at my door.

''Tom, let me in.'' Bill's voice came from the other side and I grinned.

I went to open the door for him and he invited himself in. He sniffed the air and made a little noise of disgust.

''Ugh, it smells like sex in here.'' He said, sitting on the couch.

''What did you do to that poor girl?'' he asked.

''More like, what didn't I do to her.'' I said and he rolled his eyes.

''I could hear you through the wall, there are other people in this resort you know.''

''We'll be quieter next time.'' I told him as I picked up my guitar again.

''Next time? Since when do you do next time?'' he asked.

''Since her.'' I said with a shrug, my voice rather defensive.

''You like her.'' Bill accused.

''No I don't, she's just that good in bed.'' I retorted.

''Liar.''

''I'm not lying!''

''I think I've known you well enough to know when you're lying.'' He said, rolling his eyes.

''Bill, I don't like her like that, like I said before, she's just great in bed.'' I looked down at my guitar as I played.

''Whatever you say Tom.'' He didn't believe me.

''So what're we doing today?'' I asked.

''I'm going to the beach for a swim. You have fun with your sex-buddy.'' He said, getting up and going for the door.

''Wait up, you know I'm coming with you.'' I said, putting down my guitar.

''Yea.'' He said lightly as he shrugged his shoulders.

''Besides, I wouldn't want to leave you to wallow in your jealousy.'' I said as we went into the hall.

''And what exactly am I jealous of?''

''That I have a sex-buddy.'' I said and he rolled his eyes.

*~Kate's Point of View~*

I just finished lunch. I had been starving.

All through my meal, Veronica had been sitting a few tables over and shooting me dirty looks. She was by herself too but one her cell phone gabbing away to someone about something I couldn't hear.

I had brushed her dirty looks off as angry jealousy because of what I had done by the pool. She wanted Tom and I had taken him, although, she didn't know exactly how far I had taken him.

But now as I sat by the pool and she sat on the other side, still shooting me dirty looks, it made me wonder. Was she really that mad? I mean, she seemed like the type who didn't take being upstaged very well, but come on get over it already.

She suddenly got up and started to walk in my direction. As she made it to my side of the pool, I realized she wasn't just walking in my direction, she was walking towards me.

What surprised me most was that she'd actually put her phone down.

I didn't look directly at her until she was standing right beside me, her hands on her hips in a way that said ''I own the world, you're just in it.''.

''Excuse me.'' she said and I looked up at her.

''Yes?'' I asked.

''Hi, remember me? I'm the girl who's man you totally stole the other day by the pool.'' She said and I tried not to laugh.

''Your man?'' I asked.

''I know you two aren't together and I have one thing to tell you.''

''And that might be?'' I asked warily.

''Back off, he's mine, and I always get what I want.'' She said, unnecessary attitude coloring her voice.

''Keep telling yourself that.'' I said with a bit of a laugh.

''Back off.'' She said, bending down towards me. I rolled my eyes and she stood back up and walked away.

At least now I knew I was right about one thing. She didn't take being upstaged very well.
