Natalie smiled at Alex casually. "Hey honey." She said without any hint of anger in her voice. "How's your day been?"

"Probably fun. I bet you've had your tongue down Estelle's throat, huh?"

She noticed he was a bit nervous. "Don't be so nervous, I'm not gonna bite you or anything silly!"

"Even if I do want to fucking strangle you right now."

She rubbed her hand on his cheek and gave him a quick kiss. "Is this a good spot, or would you rather move to a different one?"

"Watch yourself near the water..."

Natalie looked at the waves. She could go for a swim right now... If she wasn't busy working it.

​

⌈ You just love teasing everybody don't you? ⌋ Julius asked as she wrapped her arm around his waist.​

​

⌈ Of course. It's super fun, ⌋ she told him. It was. It was always enjoyable to give other people a hard time. ​

​

He took off his jacket and set it on her shoulders. Lennox looked up at Julius in confusion as she clung to it with her free hand. ⌈ If you're going on a hike you need at least something to protect your skin...don't want it getting scraped..or something. ⌋ Julius said, placing his arm around her body as they walked on.​

​

It was kind of hot out for a jacket, but she didn't want to push her luck. Lennox slipped her arms into the sleeves of the jacket and leaned into Julius's side as he held her close. She took the bottle from him and watched up ahead as their friend Evan coaxed Erik into drinking as well. That was good, at least someone could make him not be a total stick in the mud. ⌈ C'mon you know you want to. ⌋ With that little extra nudge, she watched as her brother took the bottle and drank begrudgingly.​

​

They came upon a steep hill and Erik took lead up it, followed after Evan. Tucker seemed to look all cutesy and whatnot helping his girlfriend, but Lennox couldn't help but wonder if he was secretly going to take a peek since Maria was wearing a skirt and he was helping her up before climbing after. Hah. Tucker take a peek? That was rich. She laughed to herself. ⌈ Oh great...we're climbing now... ⌋ muttered Julius. He stowed away the bottle and waved Lennox over to the wall. This would be fun.​

​

She rolled up the sleeves on his jacket before giving him a wink. ⌈ See ya at the top, hot stuff. ⌋ Lennox clicked her tongue to the roof of her mouth and grabbed onto a small rock ledge sticking out of the wall. She dug the toes of her shoes into the dirt and pulled herself up. It didn't take long to climb up and she really liked getting dirty from it. When she reached the ledge, Erik was standing over her and held out a hand to pull her up. Lennox took it and dusted herself off. There was a series of logs and boulders at the top and what appeared to be a fire ring in the center. Maria was knelt down working on starting a fire and she looked back to see Erik now helping Julius up. She balled her hands into fists and rested them on her hips. There was a bright grin on her face and she glanced around. ⌈ This looks like a great spot. ⌋ There was a beautiful view through the forest that extended out to the resort. They could see the ocean through the trees and the grassy floor was snaked with vines.​

​

Lennox took the bottle from Julius and drank back a pull before pouring some out on the fire in making. It added fuel and the flames shot up. Maria looked at her startled and miffed about it, but she just shrugged it off and gave Julius a kiss on the cheek before pulling him over to one of the logs and stretching her legs out on his lap. ⌈ Look at this, all of us out here in the forest, sittin' around a fire, and drinkin'. Nothing could beat this right here. ⌋ She cocked her head to the side and rested it against Julius's arm.​

​

So she wasn't instantly angry with him, well that was somewhat better though not by much. Hell she was acting like she normally would if they were on a date. That would only make explaining himself even harder if she wasn't mad. It wasn't like he wasn't going to start off with that in the first place. "Uh, right here's fine." He wasn't in a mood to get near the water.​

​

"So, what did ya bring." Since he didn't want to leave everything in silence for too long, he went ahead and asked her. He was just going to wait a bit longer before his attempt at explaining himself. Man, he never thought he'd be in this situation. Hopefully Leon can get Estelle to help our as well.​

Once they had gotten to the top, he took in a deep breath of fresh air. The outdoors were great. He looked around and saw Erik helping the others out while Maria headed over to start a fire. He walked up to her and asked if she needed help but she seemed like she could take care of it. So, he began pulling up some things they could rest on after dropping his bag.

He moved some logs and big rocks to the little fire place Maria was working on and once everyone was up, he took the snacks he scavenged out of his bag, just some potato chips to join the liquor they brought.

The fire started, with a jump start with Lennox's help, and he took a seat on the ground, resting his back on one of the rocks. He took some chugs out of the bottle he was holding as Maria sat next to him. The alcohol burned up his throat just like the fire, but the familiar taste reminded him that this was going to be a great day. He offered the bottle to Maria with a smile.

It wasn't before long that the group grew incredibly loud and crazy - mostly lead of by Evan, who was up to other crazy antics with wheels. The red head found himself with a ton of energy as he drank more of the happy juice. He was laughing and talking loudly and more than he probably should have and excitedly joined in on conversations from the past and jokes and silly dances and antics alongside the others. He took a small sip of the liquor from the bottle he and Maria were sharing, as he sat back down and leaned back onto the rock he was rested on.

The fire was getting a little smaller and it was getting dark. How much time had gone? "H-hey... do you think we gotta- we gotta go head back today? Like, I just don't think that's... possible." he laughed.

 

Natalie opened up the basket. "You know, I'm not sure! One of my cabin mates packed this for me." She pulled out various sandwiches, some pasta, potato salad, and she noticed wine in there for whatever reason. She'd save that for later.

Natalie set up the stuff on the blanket and began to eat a sandwich. "Well, dig in! It is our dinner after all!" She said.

​

Elisa bit at her bottom lip and shifted her position again, now sitting Indian - style. Pierce couldn't help but wonder what might be going through the bluenette's mind. The other girl really seemed to want to help and it made her nervous but excited at the same time. It was a good decision to talk to Elisa, now if only she had done it sooner. ❝ W-well... of.... if that's the case... ❞ she started and then immediately paused. Elisa didn't really seem like she knew what to say. Elisa grabbed her hands excitedly. Pierce was startled by the action and jumped slightly. She raised a confused brow and met Elisa's turquoise gaze. ❝ Pierce I think you should talk to him first! If he's not speaking with you, perhaps you should speak with him! I know it's a little scary, but if one of you don't talk then I don't know if anything will - so why wait, right? Talk to him! Send him a text! ❞​

She bit her bottom lip skeptically. Text Oliver? He had been the one to say he needed time. If she texted him, then wouldn't she just be a bother? Pierce slowly pulled her hands out of the other girl's grasp and leaned away. Her heart was racing and she was at a crossroads. She cleared her throat to say something, but no words came out. ❝ U - um ... ❞ What was she to do? It didn't seem like there was really much choice. Pierce cleared her throat again and reached for her phone on the nightstand. There hadn't been any messages since she arrived at the resort. She took a deep breath and glanced at her bedmate nervously.​

Her hands started to tremble slightly as she pulled up the conversation she shared with him. There hadn't been any new messages in days. The last message was from before they left for the trip when she asked if he would be coming too and received a simple 'No.' for a reply. Pierce glanced up at Elisa one last time before starting to compose a message. What was she supposed to say to him?​

To: Oliver​

Hey. The resort is fun. Too bad you​

couldn't come. Um, how are you?​

​

Pierce pressed send before she could second guess herself. She figured it would be best to start with something casual and not too heavy. That was the right move, right? She really didn't know what she was doing with any of this relationship stuff and as far as she knew, there wasn't even a relationship to have stuff for. She set her phone down on the nightstand and looked back to Elisa unsure. "❝ as ... was that okay? I just ... I dunno. ❞​

​

​

​

Maria was nuzzled into Tucker's side on the ground. Her cheeks burned and embers popped and cracked from the fire. This was the most fun she had had in a very long time. She had been depressed for so much time that it felt invigorating to be truly happy. Even Erik seemed to be enjoying himself despite not wanting his sister present. She took the bottle from Tucker and swished it around before taking a drink. When she looked back down at it, her eyes widened. when did it run out? Her blue eyes glanced around to the other two bottles and she groggily asked, ❝ S'anyone else got more? ❞ The exuberant Lennox handed over the bottle she had been sharing with Julius and Maria took a swallow before handing it back.​

She curled up further into Tucker's side and wrapped her arms around his waist. This was perfect. she couldn't imagine a more perfect moment with him. Why did it take so long for this to happen? No, no, no. she promised herself she wouldn't dwell on it. What mattered now was that they were here. Everything would be okay because they were here now. She smiled and gave him a peck on the cheek.​

The fire was getting a little smaller and it was getting dark. How much time had gone? ❝ H-hey... do you think we gotta- we gotta go head back today? Like, I just don't think that's... possible. ❞ Tucker laughed.​

Maria giggled along and Lennox seemed to perk up at that. She jumped to her feet and spun around unsteadily. Julius had to grab her hand to keep her from falling on her face or in the fire. Maria laughed some more. ❝ We'll obvs stay out here t'night. Where else would we goo? Pfft, walk back! Hah! ❞ She started laughing and fell back down into Julius's lap on the log. Maria giggled some more.​

She felt groggy and sleepy from all the alcohol and the good times they were having. She curled up further into Tucker's side on the ground and drunkenly mumbled to him, ❝ I love you. ❞ It was true. She loved him so much, even if he hadn't said it back to her. She wouldn't force him -- baby steps. She exhaled slowly and her eyes drooped shut. It felt great to be able to snuggle into his side like this. He was great. This moment was great. And, she was a little afraid to see what might happen when she wakes from it the next morning. Maria buried her face into his side, relishing in the warmth of his arm around her shoulders, and fell asleep happier than she had been in a very long time.​

 

​

Luckily with all the drunkenness they has went through climbing a wall did not seem to be as hazardous as he thought it would be. Nobody was hurt and like Julius predicted, Evan had managed to join their little drunken group. After having been helped up by Erik, Julius handed the bottle of alcohol over to Lennox and stretched as he noticed the little fire being formed.

His heart ached when he saw the alcohol that he and Lennox shared was merely tossed to fuel a fire, but he got over it quickly. As usual Julius was pulled along by Lennox and with that he sat on the log before him taking the time to enjoy the wonders of nature. These peaceful times were wonderful for him and it felt great being with the people he really cared for.

All sorts of nonsense occurred and Julius just enjoyed the madness as much as his head could allow him to. The decision to sleep outdoors was made and Julius sighed at the option. It wasn't a bad one and in all honesty it was the best choice, but he wished they had been more prepared for such action and knew his head was sure to hurt the next day.

"Whoa whoa whoa there" Julius said as his eye widened as he grabbed Lennox's hand in order to prevent her from falling. The girl caused so many problems, but he never really cared. Despite the few days he knew her she was special to him and he wanted to take care of her, no matter what trouble or mischief she pulled. She fell to his lap and with a smile he placed both arms around her body.

He narrowed his eyes softly with a small smile as he watched Maria fall asleep next to Tucker and let out a small chuckle. "Heh...love..." Julius said silently as his glanced down at Lennox for a second before shaking his head slightly and turned his attention to the fire before them. "This...is the life..." Julius said continuing to smile

​

With Alex busy on his date with Nat, Leon was trying to figure out where Estelle was, which was proving to be a difficult task. Since they'd only had one interaction, if you could call it that, combined with him doing his own thing for the past few days, he had little to go off of. Well except for the faint memory of when they were told everyone's room mate, not that he knew the ones who were rooming with Estelle in the first place.​

​

Since that was all he had to go off on the best that he could do was to find some random room and hope that that was the room that she was in. Adjusting his glasses over his gray eyes, he started to eye some of the rooms. It was going to take a whole lot of luck for his guess to be right on the first try and since the last thing he wanted was some awkward encounter with someone else, he was going to need to be very careful about thing.​

​

Eventually he came to the first room that he was going to check. He took a quick second to knock on the door before waiting to see if his guess was right.​

​

"Alright then." Alex replied before picking up a sandwich and taking a bit.​

​

​

Estelle heard a knock on the door. Since she had been a bit better today, she was drawing. She was still doubled over, and she still went sick to her stomach, but the drawing had made it easier for her to forget that she had kissed... She shook her head, trying to get the thought of her mind. She was scared because she had really liked the kiss. But that wasn't right, she could barely talk to boys, never mind having a relationship with one. She crossed her legs and fiddled with her fingers.​

​

She opened the door. At first glance, she didn't recognize him. Then, she stumbled backwards. Leon was one of the boys Estelle was uncomfortable with. And now he was knocking on her door. She felt her heart pound as a single bead of sweat went down her brow. She took a calming breath. "Leon! Oh-Um... Hey." She said, trying to gain her balance. "Erg um... do you... eh... need something?" Estelle asked him. ​

 

Natalie stared at Alex eating, attempting to make it seem like she was interested in him more than Estelle could ever be. She could just throw herself at him and kiss him, then forget about the world. In her head, it seemed like a good idea. In action... It might have made him choke on the sandwich he was eating. Instead, she thought of something else to do, and remembered the wine.

"Say, would you like a drink? My roommate packed some wine," she said with a short giggle, "She's probably hoping you'll treat me right and not do anything... Regrettable. Of course, it really wouldn't be regrettable for either of us, would it?" Natalie leaned in and poked his nose with her finger before giggling again.

 

​

✵ Mood: Half-Boiled ✵ Location: Resort ✵ Outfit ✵ OOC: ✵ ​

​

"Yeah, I could use a favor." He started. Leon knew that asking about the kiss was going to be a touchy so he was going to have to be carful about how he brought it up. "You mind if I come in?" It deifnately would be weird for him to stand at the door if he was planning on taking this slowly.​

​

Upon being let in, he found himself a place to sit before continuing. "Yeah, I sorta need your help with explaining something." If she did catch on to what he was asking, then it would just save him some time. Otherwise he would go ahead and explain to her his plan.​

​

"I see, but I don't drink all that much." While he didn't know that she did drink, he wasn't all that much of a fan of doing so.​

​

 

​

​

Estelle jumped. He didn't mean... he didn't want her to explain what happened with Alex did he? She fiddled with her fingers and paced around the room. She held back her tears. "It-It-It was an Acc-Accident." Estelle told him, her eyes seemed to be filled with tears, and looking straight at him. She fell on the ground, and just looked up at him. ​

​

"He just, I mean. We just. We were tal-talking about Nat, on the beach... and then things got really he-heated. He tripped and fell on me, and we ki-kissed." Estelle explained, talking very fast. "I-I didn't mean to do it! I'm not comfortable with bo-boys. Nat knows that! I-I hope she isn't angry... But I-I know she saw us..." Estelle explained. ​

​

​

She didn't even think about telling him that she wasn't sorry about the whole thing. She knew it was bad, but she wasn't. She wanted more... but she didn't dare to say. She didn't want to cause more problems then she needed. Plus, how could she want more when she couldn't even talk to boys without freaking out like she did now. No. It would never happen. "Why-Why do you ask?" ​

Cel was confident in Nat, and decided that she wouldn't do back to the room tonight, in case they went back in there before the other girls came back. "Good luck." Cel said whispered."I hope this goes well, or else I won't be getting my paid..." Cel Said with an evil smile. She wondered on the beach for a while, before finding a hammock and falling asleep. ​

​

Seraphina who had been just chilling on the beach for most of the day, decided she should go to sleep. She had been planning something to do with her boyfriend for tomorrow, and hoped that it would all work out. ​

 

​

✵ Mood: Half-Boiled ✵ Location: Resort ✵ Outfit ✵ OOC: Meh, Short post ✵ ​

​

"Easy there, I'm not accusing you of anything." Leon started. While he was glad that she'd pieced it together and saved him the trouble of explaining everything. He wasn't expecting her reaction to be anything like that, though considering the situation it made sense. "I'd already talked to Alex about this and know that it was an accident. All I want is your help in trying to convince Natalie of that." Hopefully after hearing that she'd calm down a bit.​

​

 

"Well I mean you don't have to, but I can definitely trust you not to try and have your way with me, right? Even if I get on my knees and beg and say I want it soooo much." Natalie flipped onto her belly and looked up at him, supporting her chin on her elbows. "You know, I really like your eyes." She said, "I wonder... If we have kids, will they have eyes like yours?"

And so, after a couple of hours of eating, Nat had consumed about half the bottle of wine by herself and was getting really giggly and red faced. "Holy shit! I have sand in my bra!" She said with a loud snorting giggle. "Aleeeex" Natalie whined playfully, "Reach in and get the sand out! No wait I'm kidding." Instead, she herself indecently put her hand down there and pulled it a bit aways from her chest, effectively dumping it out. "That's better!" She exclaimed, laughing and falling into his lap and staring up at him. "Wow... I love your eyes!" She say up immediately, "Oh! I have a question!" Natalie gave a small giggle, "okay, be prepared." She took a breath, then asked; "Who kisses better? Me, or Estelle?" Natalie said, not angry, but rather finding it laughable that her boyfriend and best friend had shared a kiss. "We can like, make out or some shit so I can show you I'm better, and stuff."

 

​

☆ Clothes ☆ Mood» >.> ☆ Character Theme ☆ Location: Resort/Beach ☆ OOC:​

​

Estelle gasped. "Ta-talking to Nat?! No no no. I can't. She's already mad at me. I mean she was already mad at me from before the trip. Now she's super mad. I-I don't know Leon." She explained. "Well sitting here won't change anything. Alex isn't the kind of guy to pull this kind of stunt. We just need to remind her of that." "If I sit here, I can't cause anymore trouble. Plus, she just needs to talk with him, she doesn't care of I apologize. 'Cause I'm not sorry" She muttered. ​

​

"A bond is a deep connection that can never be broken. Even if apart, heart and heart are still connected." "It's a proverb I remember hearing. If she's truly your friend, then she'll forgive you if you explain to her the truth. I'm positive that Alex will do his part but hearing it from the both of you might do the trick." ​

​

"I'll help you. But I'm not talking to her. That's all I can do for you. And you're lucky I'm doing anything at all because I tried at all costs to stay away from-" She stopped herself, wondering why she had gotten so angry. She paced around the room once more. "Meet me in the lobby tomorrow and we'll go from there. Now leave me be." "It'll be a start." ​

​

Estelle was happy to see him leave. She flopped down on her bed, and fell asleep. ​

​

Alex couldn't help but get nervous as he watched Nat drink half of the wine bottle. Now he knew that she did drink wine and could hold it down, though that opened up a whole new set of problems for him now that see was drunk. After the whole 'sand in her bra' incident she'd rested her head in his lap and stared at his eyes. The comment she made about them caused him to blush a little bit, drunk or not it still made him smile that she said that.​

​

No sooner than she said that, she brought up the kiss between him and Estelle. "U-uh, t-that won't b-be necessary." Dammit, this definitely wasn't the time for him to be stuttering. The last thing he wanted to was attract anymore suspicions to himself. Before saying anything else, he made sure that his thoughts were collected so that he wouldn't stutter again.​

​

"You are." Maybe if he could convince her while she's drunk to forgive him, it'll be easier for her to do so when she's sober. Even if there was a chance that the plan wouldn't work, he was still going for it.​

​

After leaving Estelle's room, Leon headed back to his own and got into the bed. While he did manage to get Estelle to help out, the fact that she wasn't going to talk to Natalie made things a bit difficult. That still didn't mean he was going to give up on either of his plans, but for now he closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.​

 

Natalie giggled. "Okay. Come to my room. I... Want to do something for you. I think... It's about time I showed you what a REAL woman does with her man." She packed up the picnic then chugged a bit more of the wine before shoving the bottle in the basket. Natalie took Alex's hand and led him to her cabin. "We'll have to be quiet... Cel likes her beauty sleep and the other one is kind of a bitch. Unless she's not around, in which case we'll still have to look out for Cel.

She unlocked the door and put the basket in the corner before jumpin onto the bed and kicking off her shoes. She looked up at Alex and giggled. "Like what you see? Your poor little girlfriend on the bed. Drunk, and definitely in he mood for it." She punctuated that "it" with a wink.

♠ Locations: Resort ♠ Mood: Why... ♠ Music ♠ Outfit ♠ OOC: ♠ ​

​

And things just kept getting worse. Not only was he in Nat's room, but she was basically throwing herself at him in her drunken state. Still going through with his plan, he had little plans on doing 'it' with her. Unfortunately it was pretty clear that that's what she had in mind. "I'm not going to take advantages of you like this Nat." He firmly stated.​

​

 

Natalie sighed. "You really DO prefer Estelle, eh?" She said sadly. She stood up, eye to eye with him, then gave him a sharp slap across the face. "Why NOT take advantage of me physically!? You ALREADY took advantage of my emotions when you and my best friend whored around!

"What do I have to do to get you to like me!? I went off and planned this date for you! To show you I'm still interested, and you won't even fucking accept my advances!" Natalie sat on the bed and cried into her hands. This was all going badly. It was probably her fault again.

"When is it MY turn to have fun..?"
