As if suddenly realizing what she just got me into, I reach out and slap her across the arm lightly. “Hey!” She squeals playfully, jumping slightly.

“I can not believe you just did that to me.” I scold. “What part of, I'm trying to avoid him, did you not understand?”

“Are you kidding me right now?” She spins to face me head on. “That man is practically stalking you. Do you really think that he is going to just give up? At least this way I will be with you.” She says, giving me a reassuring smile.

“Awesome. Cause that's not gonna be awkward or anything.” I roll my eyes, immediately envisioning Andrea sitting across the table, leaning forward on her elbows watching our every move.

“Don't worry. Guy will be there too.” She says, her smile growing wider.

“Guy?” I question, looking to the table where Andrea had been moments before. The young beach bum is kicked back casually in his chair having a conversation with the man across from him but that doesn't stop his eyes from traveling in our direction either.

“You were right by the way. Totally his dad.” She laughs. “So see. It won't be so bad. Besides, it's unfair of you to make any type of decision regarding this man until I have had a chance to weigh in on the matter.” She says, grabbing her beach towel and bag from the side of her chair.

“There is nothing to weigh in on.” I protest, grabbing my things as well, before following her towards the pool exit.

“Then it's just dinner and you have nothing to worry about.” She smiles, pushing her way through the gate, leaving me following slowly behind.
