“What happened?” Brian said half asleep. He looked at A.J. and saw that he was rolling on the floor laughing. Brian ran over and tackled A.J. Mandy woke up to see them wrestling. She sat up and laughed along with Nick, Araysa, Howie and Kevin. The rest of the guys flew to the floor and were play fighting when all of a sudden they stopped and were whispering to each other. They got up, ran to the couch and started tickling Mandy and Araysa. They were laughing so hard that they almost wet their pants.
“Stop!” shrieked Mandy and Araysa laughing so hard that they were crying. After about 5 minutes of tickling they finally stopped.
“Let’s go swimming and then after that we should go to The Olive Garden for a late lunch.” Howie suggested. Everyone nodded their heads in agreement and ran to their room and the girls ran to the bathroom to change. They all got in the elevator and went down to the pool. The guys all cannon balled into the deep end. Araysa and Mandy took off their robes…
“Is it hot in here or is it you?” Brian said as he pointed at Mandy.
“No kidding, Araysa, you look so damn good in anything you put on.” Nick said as he flashed his sexy smile. Mandy and Araysa were wearing their Tommy Hilfiger bikinis.
“Is that all you guys wear is Tommy stuff?” A.J. asked
“Yeah…discount, that one word explains it all.” Araysa said. They swam and played volleyball and chicken for 3 hours. They all went up to the room and showered and got ready to go out to eat. They all got in the limo and got to the Olive Garden at about 2 o’clock.
“Table for seven please.” Kevin requested. The hostess seated them at a round table in the back of the restaurant.
“I have a question, do any of you have girlfriends? You don’t have to answer if you don’t want to.” Mandy asked curiously.
“Yeah, she lives in Florida. Her name is Molly. I love her so much.” A.J. stated with a huge grin on his face.
“I am single.” Howie said
“Yeah, me too.” Kevin said pointing at Brian, “He’s my cousin.”
“I think we all know that.” Mandy said while giggling.
“I am single at the moment but I think I might have found the one.” Brian said as he showed the biggest smile ever while looking into Mandy’s blue eyes.
“Me too.” Said Nick as he leaned over and kissed Araysa on the cheek.
“Were you ready to order?” the waitress asked. They all ordered their food and talked about the past two days that they have been together, laughing so hard at the good times that they have shared.
“Excuse me, I am going to the ladies room. I will be right back.” Araysa got up and went to the bathroom. She was gone for a while. The food came so Mandy went to see what was taking her so long.
“Araysa, you ok?” Mandy asked as she walked into the bathroom. She heard sniffles coming from one of the stalls .
“Yeah, I am alright.” Araysa said as she opened the door. Mandy looked over at her and saw her crying. She walked over to give her a hug.
“What’s wrong?” Mandy asked as she let Araysa cry on her shoulder.
“Don’t you realize that they are going to be leaving tomorrow and that we may never see them again?” Mandy started to cry now; she had been so caught up with the good times that she didn’t even think about that.
“Araysa, I know they are leaving, but…”
“But nothing. I love Nick and I don’t want to let him go.”
“Araysa, listen to me, Nick likes you too. It is so obvious. I don’t think that he is going to forget this.” Araysa nodded in agreement and they wiped their tears and went out to eat.
“What took so long? Are you girls…ladies ok? Damn I always do that!” A.J. asked.
“Yeah everything is ok. Girl things.” Mandy said chuckling at A.J. They ate their meals and talked more about themselves. Brian and Mandy shared a piece of white chocolate cheesecake with raspberry sauce.
“Gag me!” Kevin said as Mandy and Brian fed each other. They just smiled and kept on. They finished and paid the bill. They got in the limo and went to Mandy and Araysa’s apartment. Since the guys were leaving early in the morning they thought they would drop them off now.
They got to their apartment and they invited the guys in.
“Sorry, its not the best place. Its small, crowded, messy…”Mandy said when Howie interrupted her. “Its ok Mandy. We understand.” They all sat down. There was silence when Kevin gestured for Howie and A.J. to leave with him so that Araysa and Nick and Mandy and Brian could be alone. Mandy and Brian went to her room to talk while Araysa and Nick stayed in the living room.
“So, is this goodbye forever?” Mandy asked as she hung her head to hide her tears. Brian knew that he had to stay strong. He liked Mandy so much and he didn’t want to leave her.
“Mandy, this is only the beginning. I want to get to know you more. I want to be here for you, I want this to continue.” Brian said as he wiped Mandy’s tears.
“Brian, that would make me so happy. I have liked you for so long and now that I know your real personality I like you even more.” Mandy said as she cracked a smile. They looked into each other’s eyes and kissed the longest most passionate kiss they have ever shared. They exchanged phone numbers, addresses and e-mail addresses. They walked out to the living room, hand in hand. Nick and Araysa were kissing. Brian cleared his throat to let them know that they were in the room. Nick and Araysa stopped and looked up and smiled. The girls walked the guys out to the limo where A.J., Kevin, and Howie were waiting. They all hugged and said goodbye.
“You girls…ladies take care. GEEZ! I did it again. I need to work on that.” A.J. exclaimed.
The guys got in the limo and it drove away. Mandy and Araysa stood there and watched until they couldn’t see the taillights anymore.
