"And what was that about?" He asks.

"Nothing." I shrug.

"Nothing good ever comes from nothing, Rossita." He turns his head and glances towards the door that Zack just went in. He decided not to wear his glasses today, so instead of looking into his iridescent blue eyes through a lens, I have them on full display.

"It wasn't of importance, Prinse," I let him know as I grabbed his hand in mine. He squeezes my hand lightly and we both move to sit on the couch.

Juliet had joined Zack outside and Cass was upstairs while Chloe decided she was going to make popcorn in the kitchen. I knew better than to leave her all alone in there for too long so I excused myself as I headed for the kitchen.

"I can already smell the smoke," I tease. She removes the lid and throws out a potful of popped corn in a glass bowl.

"You're such a liar. I'm a better cook than you," she retorts.

"Now you're lying." I rolled my eyes knowing I had my strength and cooking was definitely one of them.

"Make sure you wake up early tomorrow." She moves to put the pot back on the stove, throws in a few more drops of oil and then some corn.

"Why?" I ask.

"We'll make breakfast and they'll be the judge of who is a better cook," she claims.

"Don't storm off when I win," I tell her. The sounding of corn popping started to commence and a minute passed before she removed the pot from the hot plate to cool down.

"I won't." She laughs.

After a few more popping, the bowl was full.

"Why do you think Zack is here?" I turn to stare at Prinse who is focused on the screen in front of him.

"My guess is as good as yours," she tells me. She sprinkled salt on the popcorn and placed it on the counter before me.

"Have you and Juliet not spoken about it?" I question, taking a popcorn into my mouth.

"She's been glued to Zack since they arrived," she shrugs. "Are you jealous of her?"

"Not at all. I am happy where I'm at," I tell her. At that moment, Prinse turned to look my way and his boyish smile that has me weak at the knees was in full display. I smiled back and in this second, I wanted us to stay like this for an eternity even if it was just wishful thinking.

She grabs the bowl from the counter and joins Prinse on the couch. I take a seat next to him, and a second later Cass joins us.

"Where are the other two?" She asks.

"Not sure," Chloe answers.

"Well that's annoying," she mumbles as she sits on a single armchair adjacent to ours.

"What are we watching ladies?" Prinse asks. "Nothing romantic," he adds sternly.

I rolled my eyes, knowing why he had said that. He touches my thigh and gently squeezes it before grazing his fingers upwards. I squirm a little and he smirks. Chloe turns to look down at Prinse's hand still on my thigh and she shakes her head in amusement.

"Is there any room for us?" Zack asks, walking into the room with Juliet by his side.

"So you have decided to join us," Cass snorts. Prinse turns to look at her. "Don't do that," he hisses.

"Why not? He wasn't invited," she states and the room goes silent.

"Your words hurt me, Cassandra," Zack says.

"Do they?"

"Cassandra, that's enough!" At that moment, Prinse just wanted a drama-free day and I agreed.

Cass decided not to retort back and bit her tongue in response. You could cut the tension with a knife, so I coughed and nudged Chloe on the side.

"How about a comedy?" She asks and finally everyone focused their attention on her as they all agreed.

We stayed like that for an hour and a half. A few chuckles here and there and finally the whole mood was one of tranquility.

"How about a night swim?" Juliet suggests as Gomes switches off the television.

"You guys go," Gomes gestures with a nod. The girls all turn to leave.

"Aren't you going to get into your bikini?" I ask, confused as they all begin to undress.

"There's no point," Juliet says. She didn't have a bra on, that was clear so when she removed her top and let her tits out in the open, I couldn't help but gasp.

"Seriously, Juliet!" I squeal as I quickly walk towards her to cover her up with my body. The boys weren't paying much attention to us and for that I was glad.

"It's just boobs, Rossita," Chloe chuckles, but yet she had a bra on - so is it really just boobs?

Juliet rushes to the door, pulls it open, "Are you coming?" She had the most innocent smile plastered on her face. Chloe followed her and then Cass, finally it was my turn to tell my feet to move.

They were all inside the pool, but I decided to stay put on the concrete and watch.

"If you weren't going to come in, then you should have stayed inside with the boys," Chloe tells me as she brings her head out of the water. Her brown hair, now a darker shade as they stick to her skin.

"I'm not wearing a bra," I tell her.

"It's only us, just remove it," Cass says and Juliet nods in agreement.

I stand there hesitantly not sure if I should.

"We'll turn around," Chloe says as she rolls her eyes. She turns and the other two follow. I start with removing my shorts and then my top as I quickly jump into the pool.

"Wasn't that difficult, right?" Juliet asks, coming from behind me and cupping my breast.

"Hey!" I exclaim as I turn around. She chuckles, letting go and I splash her with water.

A few laps in and the other two remove their bras.

"Free the tits!" Cass and Chloe say in unison and I laugh. The boys hadn't come out and enough time had passed to know that it wasn't a good sign.

"Maybe we should go check on the boys." I turned to look at them, but yet they made no attempt to get out of the pool.

"We just freed the tits," Cass whines.

"They are fine - probably just catching up," Juliet says. "I agree," Chloe adds and I'm left baffled - Are they serious?

"Everything isn't always about you. They have their own history," Chloe says and I'm not sure who told her that was needed.

"I didn't say it was about me," I retaliated.

"You didn't have to." Don't know why she's all of a sudden a female dog. "Why are you so ticked off, I was just being a worried girl--" and then I stopped, what was I? A girl that he likes -- that's more accurate because I'm clearly not the girlfriend.

"Okay sisters! We are moving onto the jacuzzi, are you two joining or staying in the cold water going back and forth?" Juliet suggests and we both turn our attention towards her. It was getting a bit too chilly so I followed her to the other side where the jacuzzi waited for our cold bodies.
