Only redeeming part? She’s in a little seersucker lilac bikini.

She flicks her eyes up at me and then she glances at herself, eyes pointing to the colour she’s wearing. She looks back over at me, sending me a message without saying a word.

I sit in the deckchair directly opposite her so I can watch her again how I did on the plane.

Jordan does a few laps in the pool then jumps into the spa. I just take in the sights.

Skin so much browner than the rest of ours, hair all wavy from the chlorine, emerald eyes so bright you could spot them from the lake.

Rub my hand over my mouth mindlessly, as she stares back at me over her phone.

My phone vibrates.

She texts me.

Parks

14:43pm

What are you staring at?

You.

She swallows, nervous. Cheeks flushed.

You know I’m dating a gang lord right..?

I glance up at her, amused. Cock an eyebrow.

Thought you weren’t dating…

She glances over at me, face all deadpan and perfect.

Would you really rather me say what we’re actually doing?

She’s got me there.

No.

How was your party?

Good, how was yours?

She stares over at me darkly.

Intimate.

Fuck. I’ve struck a nerve.

I didn’t know, Parks.

Did you think I knew?

She purses her mouth. Surely she knew I didn’t know. Jonah said he told her I didn’t know.

I wouldn’t do that to her.

That was mean of her.
