what the others are doing.” I quickly round the table and head toward the beach. I hear Maddison call out behind me.
    “Thanks for helping.” I know she’s being sarcastic, so I don’t bother replying.
    I stop at the steps leading down to the beach and I see everyone there. Tracy and Annabelle are sunbathing as usual while Karl, Joshua and Brandon are playing volleyball. They all have their tops off, and I can’t help but admire their physiques, especially Brandon. He’s wider than I thought and the rippling muscles are glistening in the sunshine. I can’t help but stare. I never knew he had such protruding abs under his shirts. I have to stop myself from drooling, and I have to make sure that I have no drool around my mouth. I feel so hot and flustered watching him running around in just his board shorts.
    I lick my lips and feel a tingling between my thighs. I can’t believe he’s making me feel like this, and I’m not even near him. He suddenly looks up and our eyes lock. I love his gorgeous brown eyes that look like deep pools of chocolate. I could just fall into them with their incredible intensity that freezes me to the spot. I see a smirk appear on his face before Karl says something to him which he laughs at, and carries on with their game. I’m not really dressed for the beach. I have on a pair of blue jeans and a yellow halter neck top. I see that Annabelle and Tracy are in their bikinis, but that’s no different as they have been sunbathing for the past couple of days. It seems they don’t want to go back without an all over tan…apparently.
    “Lily!” I look over to where my name’s being called and see Tracy waving frantically. She waves me over, so I move across to them and hope I don’t embarrass myself by slobbering all over Brandon.
     

     
    She’s looking so beautiful today, and seeing her standing there on the steps watching me has me feeling kind of good. Looking at her makes my heart skip beats every time she looks at me and it’s no exception when our gazes lock. She is absolutely gorgeous, and I can’t get her out of my mind. She’s everything I think about all the time, and I don’t know what to do. I’ve spent time with Maddison for the last two days now because I like spending time with her. She’s amusing when she wants to be, and she has finally opened up and isn’t that shy girl that never spoke to me. She’s a great friend, and I really do enjoy her company, but she isn’t the woman I think about constantly. I’m not attracted to Maddison like I am Lily, and maybe that’s why I can be around Maddison more.
    Lily always seems cold toward me, ever since I took her home that night all those months ago. I never know how to act around Lily and I wish she would stop being so cold or drunk when I talk to her. She’s been getting drunk since we got here and, to be honest, I don’t like it when she drinks so much. I know we all like to have a drink, but she always takes it too far and I’m worried when she drinks herself into oblivion. She never seems to know when to stop, and I hate seeing her like it, but what can I do? She’s nothing to do with me and even though we flirt, I have no say in anything she does. I’m sure it wouldn’t be received well, me saying something.
    “Brandon?” Karl snaps his fingers in front of my face and I blink several times before looking at him. I notice a smirk on his face. “You with us?”
    Joshua runs up and says, “Why have we stopped?” Joshua looks between the two of us and sees Karl smirking. “Oh…I see!” They both start laughing.
    “What?” I’m confused by their reaction.
    “You always have your head in the clouds when a certain redhead is nearby.” I’m getting irritated because of the smirk that’s plastered all over his face.
    “I don’t know what you are talking about.” I hate both of them looking at me as though they know what I’m thinking. Of course, they’re right, I was thinking about Lily, but I
