“Whatever.” Diego brushed him off, putting his headphones on.

“I hate that diva sometimes.” Alex sighed, playing with his armrest.

“No you don’t. He’s your oldest friend. You’d be lost without him, and you know it.” Stroking the stubble on his chin, he finally nodded.

“I was thinking, I want to move you into Milly’s old suite when we get back. I was being a jerk by giving you that tiny bedroom in the first place.” Oh, wow!

“Umm… I really don’t mind the room you gave me, Alex.”

“I know you don’t, but I want to make up for the whole Maddison issue. The only problem is that the suite is on the same floor as my room. Milly and I kind of took over the entire top floor. No one else really goes up there—just the cleaners once a week—so you’ll have more privacy. Plus, it’s really spacious.”

“Oh, um…” I’d have the whole top floor with Alex—alone. Holy fuck! That wasn’t good.

“Take a look when you get back. You can stay in your room if you want, I just wanted to give you that option.”

“I’ll have a look. Thank you,” I yawned.

“Are you still tired? I can go and sit…”

“No, it’s fine. I’ve probably slept too much anyway.” I sat up a little more in my seat, trying to wake myself up.

“You never did bring your friend to meet me,” he stated out of the blue. “Are you that ashamed of working for me?”

“I didn’t want to watch you eat her alive.”

“I have no idea what you mean.”

“I saw you sucking face with Maddison on set. Liv wouldn’t last an hour with you.”

“Were you studying my kissing technique?”

“No, I was watching you and Maddison try to eat each others’ faces. It was disgusting.” He shook his head at me and tried to hide his smirk. “And what were all those hickeys about? How old are you…fifteen?”

“You were getting hickeys atfifteen? Jesus, you started young.”

“Oh, shut up! You’re telling me you didn’t experiment at that age?”

“Do you think I’mthatsex crazed? That I would be thinking about sex at such a tender age? That maybe I used to try and look down my hot teacher’s top in class?” Why did I feel so alive when we joked like this? My entire body was humming with adrenalin.

“You’re stating the obvious.”

“Yeah, I lost my virginity at fifteen. She was older than me.” Too much information!

“Thanks, I really wanted to know that.”

“You asked for it,” he snorted, getting an air steward’s attention. “Do you want a drink or anything?”

“Maybe a coke and a packet of crisps.”

“You mean some chips?” He smirked.

“Whatever. I’d like Walkers, if they have any.”

“You’re a demanding little thing when you want to be, aren’t you?”

“You have no idea.” Batting my eyelashes at him, I waited for my coke andcrisps.

“Home sweet home.” Alex stripped out of his shirt right in front of me. With his fine, muscular chest revealed, he dove into the pool. We’d only just gotten through the doors. “Care to join me?” he challenged, swimming up to the edge of the pool. “The water is a lovely temperature.”
