Wasn't sure what I should write so this is kinda blah.

“So did you see those hot surfers?” I ask Maria and Liz after Jake as gone to the bar to get us all drinks.
“Aren’t you meant to be saving your drooling for Jake?” Maria asks raising an eyebrow.
“Pfft, just because I’m on a date with Jake doesn’t mean that I’m blind.” I state, maybe the beach isn’t as bad as I thought it was. I had forgotten about to guys walking around half naked and mostly looking completely gorgeous.
“I thought the whole point of being on a date was that you only have eyes for your date,” Maria says with a grin.
“How am I meant to have eyes only for Jake when there are Brad Pitt looker likes strutting around the beach half naked.” I ask with a smile of my own “whatca think Liz?”

great parts! 
and good luck with the exams, sugarplum!!!!
ALEX
We all watch Michael make his way in the direction where the others disappeared for a moment.
"Ladies!" Kyle echoes with a snort before turning back to the grill.
"Well, lets hope that he uses a bit more of his ... uh, unique charm when reaching the others." I suggest with a grin - Max being the only one to see it since Kyle's back is to us two.
I look around a bit, suprised that there are still rather many people here and many of them being in the water. Looks like it's still warm enough for a swim.
"Will you two be also in the water later on or will you watch the others and stay close to the fire?" I ask. I know it's a stupid question but better than the annoying silence.
I have to admit I wouldn't mind the two to go swimming. It will be fun to see Michael pissed again because all the girls will be admiring Max's phsiyque (sp?) again and probably Kyle's too ... leaving Michael without attention. Again! :evil:
What? Let me have my little mean pleasures, after all, with illusions like this, I might be able to overlook that i have no admires.

Sorry this is so late. I got attacked by textbooks.
<center>~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ Liz ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~</center>
I hear Isabel and Maria talk about the guys that are walking around the beach. Their little shopping trip really brought them closer together. At least it seems like that with the way they talk to each other.
“How am I meant to have eyes only for Jake when there are Brad Pitt look-a-likes strutting around the beach half naked,” Isabel answers with finality, like she normally does. Sometimes I wonder about how she learned to do that, make each thing she says to be the final word on the subject. But she’s right, and she does have a point. Just because Jake’s here is no reason for her to feign blindness. I smile a little and look away as I see one of the guys look in our direction.
“Whatca think Liz?” Isabel asks with a grin and a teasing glint in her eye, almost as though she noticed. Did she notice?
“You have eyes. You can see. I think you’re allowed to appreciate the . . . view,” I state tucking my hair behind my ear, “especially considering the circumstances.” I bit my lip in an effort to hide the grin I can’t seem to wipe away. Sure they’re cute, but they don’t need to know that I’m looking at them and that I like what I see. But . . . It's like Isabel said, I'm not blind! I can't help but notice.

I walk into one of the little cabanas that are lined up next to the bar and change out of my summer dress and into my new blue floral patterned bikini. It is a really nice fit and I think a few mouths will be dropping open upon my return, but I'm not sure which mouth I'd rather see drop...hmmmm... I really think I should get my priorities straight and focus my energy and charm on one of these guys here.
On one hand, Max is such a great guy, and I know he likes me at least on some level even though we've all know each other less than a week. Lately though I've had this sneaking suspicion that he has set his sights on someone else, someone who doesn't know that she could be the luckiest woman in the world. In fact, I have no idea if Liz has designs on any of the men here... although, she has been looking at Max more often when she talks to him, which could just be her getting used to us more and not being so nervous, as her speech patterns have softened considerably.
On the other hand, Kyle is turning out to be a very intriguing and might I say, very handsome, guy. And he definitely gets points for his wicked sense of humor. Ya just gotta love that in a guy. I really think I should get to know him better, and what better time than here and now…
Okay, I need to stop thinking and start doing, so I grab all my other clothes, stuff them back into my bag and pull my curly blonde hair into a cute little loose bun that has curls hanging out every which way. I tie the matching blue sarong around my waist, slip into my sandals and head back out to the bar where I see Maria, Liz, and Isabel scoping out the “view”.
“Whatca think Liz?” Isabel asks with a grin and a teasing glint in her eye.
“You have eyes. You can see. I think you’re allowed to appreciate the . . . view,” Liz states tucking her hair behind her ear, “especially considering the circumstances.”
“And what a nice view it is too.” I say with a smile of appreciation when I reach the other women as a studly, long-haired, blonde surfer walks by, little beads of water dripping down his six pack abs and disappearing into his black board shorts.
Liz, Isabel, and Maria turn their heads to watch the guy walk off and around the corner before turning back to nod their heads while laughing at our new-found source of entertainment.
“Wow Tess, what a lovely bathing suit. That really fits you well and I love how the blue matches your eyes.” Liz says, complementing my attire.
“Thanks Liz. I know you’ll look fabulous in yours too. Are you gals already wearing your bathing suits or are you not planning on swimming? I know I’m all for seeing the guys in theirs, eh?” I say, winking at Maria, who’s standing right next to me. She grins and winks back.

The silence really gets on my nerves. Don't get me wrong! I enjoy silence quite often … well, silence laced with some alternative music but around people I barely know, it makes me nervous when everything is quiet.
"I hope Michael finds the girls soon and comes back with them, I'm getting quite hungry here." I say with a longing look towards the food.
"Me too." Max laughs.
"Do it like me - enjoy the view." Kyle advices just as a leggy redhead walks past. And the describtion "leggy" really fits - legs that have every guy probably imagines to have wrapped around his middle. Or it is just me and I'm a big pervert without knowing it!
"Nice." Kyle sighs, watching the redhead for a few more seconds as she meets up with some hot girlfriends of hers.

btw, the idea for the "legs around the middle" line I've got from the story Love is Like a Cabbage by Lindsay
and I can't believe that it took me five times till the editing worked

We are still waiting for the others to come back (I'm hungry, so hurry up!). Kyle is looking wistfully at the redhead and her friends while Max and I are talking about our day at work. I am telling Max about a co worker of mine who thinks she's the smartes person of all and knows it all when he points out that the others are coming back. Halleluja!
"Damn, just when it got good." Kyle says disappointed, making Max and me look over to where the girls are. Looks like they are starting to play volleyball. I can feel Kyle's pain I think.
"I'm sure you can manage to get a seat that allows you to watch them." Max tells Kyle before he turns to me and softly says, "And YOU be a perfect little gentleman when Isabel is back!"
"Yes Sir!" I grin, making a mock salut that would have my dad in a fit.

Sorry Trude - I was hoping the girls would post. That maybe Liz and Tess would actually talk to Isabel about Alex, as they promised. *shrug* I guess we go on...
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
*Michael*
I walk up to the girls, knowing that I look hot. My bod is toned and tanned and I got no shirt on. Half the ladies on the beach are drooling, I know, so I'm sure to be making a great impression on Isabel, Maria, Tess and Liz. In fact, I'm pretty sure I heard one of them commenting about 'the view.'
"Hey, girls," I tell them with a grin as soon as I'm within earshot. "Kyle has dinner done so I hope you're ready to eat."

K, how's this for starters, Isabelle?
TESS
We enjoy the ‘view’ for another few minutes before Maria suddenly straightens up from where she was leaning against the bar, and lets out a low whistle.
“Whoa baby, check out that hottie over there, coming this way.” She points with her index finger to a moderately muscular man walking along the beach in board shorts and no shirt, his tanned chest gleaming in the setting sunlight. He is too far away to distinguish facial features, but is close enough for a rough estimate of how good looking he seems to be.
“Where?” Isabel, Liz, and I all say quickly, turning our heads in the direction of Maria’s pointing finger.
Jake, who is a head taller than every one of us except for Isabel, also looks out over our heads to the man in question, and I hear a ‘huh’ sound escape from his lips. “I hadn’t figured that Michael guy to be that built. Although, with his attitude, that would explain it.”
“What are you talking about Jake? I don’t see Michael anywh--” Isabel starts to say, but is cut off by Maria’s exclamation of “oh-my-god”.
I had turned back to listen to Jake’s comment, and so returned to the direction in which the man was approaching us, and I was shocked to see that it was Michael strutting this way like he was on a catwalk in Paris instead of on a beach in Miami.
Liz, per usual, is just standing there silently, but at least she has the presence of mind to put her hand over her mouth in muted shock. I thought I detected a bit of a giggle slip out from behind her hand at Maria's exclamation and expression of shock at who she had just called hot, but I can’t be sure.
Forgetting that in real life time does not actually slow down when something momentous like this happens, I realize that Michael has reached us and I catch the last half of what he’s currently saying to the group.
“…so I hope you're ready to eat." He finishes with a grin. But with Michael, it’s never just a grin. It’s a sly grin, like he knows something you don’t, or at least wants you to believe so.
Liz is the first to recover from the silence that has fallen over the lot of us, and responds that we will “be there momentarily, thank you for notifying us.” Oops, guess she’s still a little tense.
“Yeah, k, whatever.” Michael replies shortly, giving each one of us a quick look from head to toe, then turns to Jake and asks, “Hey man, wanna go grab some more pallets for the bonfire? Those three Nancy’s over there managed to pick the measliest ones out here. I really wanna get this fire roarin’.”
Jake looks at Isabel, who doesn’t say anything, looks back at Michael, and nods his head. “Sure man, did you see some better ones on your way over here?” He says as they walk away, leaving us to go back to the fire pit on our own.
Just as well, now maybe Liz and I can squeeze in a few covert questions to Isabel about Alex on our way back.
Hmmmm, but how to approach the subject. Ahhh yes. “Well, if Michael’s any indication of what to expect when we get back, then I’m all for walking quickly,” I end in a giggle and, catching Liz’s eye, give her a conspiratorial wink.
“Oh yes, that’s right.” She pipes up, catching on. “There will be nicer ‘views’ for us to admire there…oh, except one less for you, Isabel.”
I silently say, ‘way to go Liz, what a great hook!’ in my head, and wait for Isabel’s reply.

Nice post, MA. loved the ‘moderately built’ comment. Sounds just right. And Maria taking notice. Very nice.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
*Michael*
This is working out pretty well. I can tell the girls are really loving my look. I run my fingers through my hair, perfecting the spiky look as Maria stares. I turn, carefully tensing to show off my body as the girls oogle. Liz hides her mouth behind her hand and I can see her turning just a little red. She forgets all about normal speech again and I grin, knowing that I’m making a great impression on her and the other girls. I’m finally getting the adulation I deserve.
Feeling smug, I try to keep the momentum going. Turning to Jake, I say, “Hey man, wanna go grab some more pallets for the bonfire? Those three Nancy’s over there managed to pick the measliest ones out here. I really wanna get this fire roarin’.”
He agrees and we walk off together. This is gonna be good. I’ve let the girls know that I’m stronger than the other three guys and now, I’m sure I can show up Jake, too. I’ll be sure that whatever he’s got looks scrawny compared to my load. They’ll all know what a great guy I am.
I stride down the beach with Jake and there isn’t much to say. Isabel is a hottie and she definitely deserves better than him. We come past the firepit where Kyle and those two losers are waiting. "This way," I tell Jake, leading him to the firewood.
"Hey! Where are the girls?" Kyle asks.
"On their way," Jake smiles. "They'll be here in a bit."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
*Max*
I look up sharply as Michael suddenly appears with Jake on his heals. Kyle asks after the girls and I'm glad to hear they're on their way. Looking past Jake, I can see the four of them approaching, although they don't seem to be in any hurry.
"Great. I guess we can eat soon," I say.
"Smells great, Kyle," Jake says.
"Get moving, Jake," Michael insists. "Gotta get some real wood for this bonfire."
I shake my head at Jake. Earlier, Michael had completely ignored us when we were collecting wood. All of a sudden he needs to do it right away.

great post
ALEX
Michael and Jake collecting wood? Does that mean that Michael likes Jake? Does this mean that I shouldn't like Michael now either? Did I like him before seeing him with Jake? ... not really, I guess
"Uh, do you think that Michael hurt himself while swimming?" I ask the other two guys when Michael and SOS left and the girls are still a few moments away.
"Why? Was he bleeding?" Kyle asks back.
"No." I rub my forehead a bit - great the headache is coming back. "It's just ... he was walking a bit strange, wasn't he? Maybe he hurt his foot or something."
He was walking weird ... not really looking to be in pain but still weird.
