“This is my beach house,” she spat, “at least for the summer it is.”

“That’s impossible,” he insisted. “I rented this place for my two buddies and me. We picked up the keys today.”

“Well, I rented this place for my two girlfriends and myself and was told that I could find the keys under the front mat where the rental agent left them for us since we got into town late. Wait, I can settle all this right now. I’ll just call her.”

“It’s the middle of the night,” Brooks challenged. He had a sick feeling that his perfect beach vacation was about to be ruined by a rental agent double-booking the place.

“It’s only ten-thirty, Grandpa,” she teased, holding up her phone for him to see the time.

“It was a long trip down here from DC and I drove the whole way. Excuse me for being tired and turning in early,” he grumbled.

“Well, we drove down from just outside of DC, from Maryland, and I drove the whole way too. I’m just as tired as you are, but I can’t go to bed since you are sleeping in it.” She nodded to the bed that he had just got out of and smirked back at her.

“Well, you could just share it with me, and we can both get some sleep,” he taunted. No, that’s not what he needed this summer. This trip was about the guys and keeping the band together. He didn’t have time to chase a pretty blond around hoping that she’d fall into his bed with him.

“Not a chance, buddy,” she spat. She dialed the number of the rental agent and put it on speaker for him to listen in. “Hello, is this Melody Jones?” she asked.

“Um, yes,” the woman said. “Who’s calling at this late hour?” He smirked at her again. He wasn’t the only one who thought that it was late. The woman had the nerve to stick her tongue out at him and he just rolled his eyes at her. He couldn’t stand how smug she was, but that was all about to change.

“This is Savannah Higgins. I have—I’m sorry but I didn’t catch your name,” she said, looking over at him.

“Brooks Terrance,” he grumbled.

“I have Brooks Terrance with me,” she repeated as if Melody wouldn’t be able to hear him on speaker. “Apparently, we’ve both rented the same house and I’m hoping that you can clear this mess up for me. I have a rental contract dated May third of this year, for the entire summer.”

Brooks crossed the bedroom and pulled his rental agreement out of his suitcase and looked it over. He wasn’t sure why he had packed it, but now, he was glad that he had tossed it into his suitcase. “My rental agreement is dated for the same day,” he said.

“Oh, for Christ’s sake,” Melody shouted. “I can’t believe that this has happened again. I’m going to fire my assistant in the morning. This is the third time that this has happened this week.”

“The third time?” Brooks shouted across the room. “What did you do for the other two rentals that were double booked?” he asked. He was hoping that she’d say that she had to toss the pretty blond out, leaving the place to the guys for the summer, but he feared that he wasn’t going to get that lucky.

Brooks looked up to find that they had drawn quite a crowd at his bedroom door. Two other women and the guys were standing there watching him as Savannah talk to Melody on the phone.

“Well, one group chose to solve the problem by flipping a coin to get to see who stayed and my company reimbursed the losing party,” Melody said.

“That sounds like an awful idea,” Savannah spat.

“The only other thing we can do is work something out between the two renters to possibly share the house for the summer. Maybe your party can take half the summer and the other party can take the other half. Or you can find a way to both stay there together and we’ll reimburse you each half of your money back,” Melody said.

That sounded worse to Brooks than flipping a damn coin. “There are only three bedrooms in this house and two bathrooms. How are we supposed to share? We don’t even know each other,” Brooks said.

“I’m sorry that I can’t give you better options,” Melody said. “Can you agree to give me until the morning to possibly come up with another solution?” she asked.

“What about another rental? I’m sure that your firm has to have another house that we can rent,” Savannah said.

“No, I’m afraid not. We are fully booked for the summer, and I have a feeling that’s why my assistant double-booked a few places. We have very low inventory this year due to last year’s storms that ravaged the island. I’m sorry,” Melody said.

“What are we supposed to do for the night?” Brooks asked.

“Um, flip a coin to see who gets the bed and who gets the sofa. I’m sorry that I couldn’t help you more tonight. I promise to get on this problem first thing in the morning and we’ll find some way to compensate you all.” Melody ended the call, leaving them all standing in the dark bedroom looking at each other as if none of them knew what to do next.

“I guess I’ll grab a coin,” Savannah said. She was pissed, but God, she was beautiful.

“You guys might as well introduce yourselves. It looks like it’s going to be a long night,” Brooks said, watching the pretty blond stomp out of his bedroom. Yeah, he really didn’t have any extra time to try to get her into his bed, but he was going to try to find some. He had a feeling the feisty blond would be worth giving up some bro time with the guys.
