Welcome to the coolest lottery of the year!

Want to spend a few weeks surrounded only by nature's best creation?

We mean paradisiac beaches, clear blue water, huge natural palm trees and exotic non-dangerous animals!

Sounds too good to be true right?

Wrong!

It costs you nothing to have the summer vacation of your life and we're not joking!
You simply need to fill out the form with your basic information and we'll randomly choose the winners! So pack your bags and be prepared!



Welcome to my first Story Writing contest in Like a Fashionista!

This contest will have 5 rounds where your characters will have a few adventures

Since this is a SW contest it is mandatory that you write at least three paragraphs of plot-related content but there is no maximum length to your stories and by no means you have to write the same in each round. Do what feels right and fun and I know I'll love it!

Now onto the rules:

Each of the 5 rounds will last 72h
Banners will be given to the overall best stories but also for participants
Since it is a SW contest I want you to have full access to your imagination so this contest will be both Edit and Non-edit to help you achieve any look for your characters that you'd like
One main character per person, and please keep their appearance and personality traits the same throughout the contest
Remember that all the forum and contest rules apply
Please don't butcher my characters, follow Tonkolina's Lucifer rule please!

Tonks' Lucifer Rule

Going Out of character.
So I've got a description of my character:
Mr. Lucifer is the ruler of darkness who brings his wrath and envy upon all living creatures, creating chaos on earth.
And now someone writes:
Mr. Lucifer blushed when I I winked at him.
...
No...He did not blush.
So watch out for that.  They have their personalities, just as you have yours.

Round 1 requirements:

* Name, age (+18), home country, relationship status and occupation
* Face claim
(Make your character and choose someone in real life who looks like her/him and post it. This helps me imagine the story better!)

* Personality traits (qualities and flaws)
* Story of the reason why you applied to the free vacation
(did you do it, someone else did it for you, etc)
* Story about the flight, settling in at the resort and the reception party.
* Optional: Anything you'd like to add - backstory, the day your chara entered the form or received the news she/he won, conversations during flight, socializing with the extras at the resort or the party;
(you may choose which extra is sitting by your side on the plane but since they can't divide in half we'll use the first come first served rule)

* At least one outfit of your character as she/he landed and one for the party; Optional: Any other outfit you'd like
* Maximum of 3 romantic interests





At the end of the day there will be a reception party for the guests so remember to dress nice! Please end your story as the party ends or you decide it's time for some sleep

EXTRAS


FC: Ryan Kwanten
30 years old –  Irvine, Scotland
Jet Pilot

click me

Traits: Quick thinker, witty (always has a smart ass answer to anyone provoking him), confident in his looks and skills, reckless, hot-headed, way too talkative, not too reliable when things don't interest him; curses way more than he should, sometimes in Gaelic so people don't understand.

Personality: Zack is as good as making jokes as he is at piloting. And he's very good at piloting, from jets to helicopters to anything that gets off the ground. He doesn't really specify where he leaned such skills but at least he did take a piloting course, just not at some college...or anywhere actually, you know, legal.
He believes one should live each day as the last but really he just means he doesn't give a damn about problems cause he doesn't truly believe he's dying any day soon. He likes to drink and have fun between his piloting jobs, taking people here and there which allowed him to see most of the world, and he takes pleasure in doing so with rich clients because they pay the highest and the highest is not enough for this man to settle down. It's not that he wants to become rich himself, he just wants good enough paychecks to upgrade his helicopter and jet and the other planes he uses for private travels and those are quite expensive.
Having seen a great deal of the world Zack gained quite a bit of knowledge although that isn't on the surface for anyone to see. He actually knows a lot about fauna and flora from each continent, just like he can easily predict when a storm is about to start just by sensing the air pressure.

How he won the prize: Zack signed up himself. He loves to explore new places and the chance to visit a private island he had never been to was too good to pass.

FC: Jane Levy
23 years old – Cambridge, Massachusetts
Student

click me

Traits: Intelligent, Caring about people and animals and nature and basically everything, friendly, far too honest, prideful, over-analyzing of everything, basically gives no step unless she's sure it's the right move

Personality: Charity is a young, very accomplished woman. She was raised in a catholic school until highschool where the teachers realized she knew more than they could teach. She skipped 2 years and went to Harvard at 15. Has now has a major in Biochemistry and is now taking her second major in genetic science.
Charity is always honest about her feelings and fears, sometimes too honest for her own good because it comes out as being weak which is something the girl isn't. She always tries to think about the most logical action course in each and every step of the way and it usually turns out to be the right thing.
She isn't too fond of dumb people but tries to be friendly anyway because she knows that intelligence is something you're either born with or try hard to develop and she can't really blame those who don't want to try. She believes anyone has the right to pursue what they believe is important. She just pities those who think intelligence isn't on that list.

How she won the prize: Charity's mother filled the form for the trip, thinking it would be a nice surprise for her hardworking daughter. Charity wasn't exactly thrilled when she learned she had won but changed her mind after googling photos of the place.

FC: Jessica Szohr
25 years old – Phoenix, Arizona
Living for danger

click me

Traits: Adventurous, born an extrovert, dependable when it matters, reckless sometimes, blunt all the time, loves to flirt, always stubborn. Keeps a smile on her face and a positive attitude towards life.

Personality: Juliana, or Jules for her friends, is an extreme sports kind of woman. She likes to sky dive and rappel, has tried surf but thought it was too tame for her and found bungee jumping as a whole new activity that gave her just the right amount of energy she needs. She is an adrenaline junkie.
Jules ditched her waitress job and started doing all those kinds of extreme sports in exchange of working for the instructors for a week or so. She loves her way of life and wouldn't trade it for anything. She is incredibly dependable though, always ready to help out anyone that needs her help, either a rookie in a sport or someone on the street or a customer wherever she's working at that moment. She is blunt though, having no trouble calling out someone when they're being unreasonable or plain irritating but until now she had very little problem with it. She doesn't like to start a fight but if someone involves her in it, she has no trouble ending it by any means necessary.
Jules is gay and definitely not too shy to talk about it or flirt with girls. She has received bad comments about guys when she turns them down but one can't go against their feelings and what can she do when she prefers a soft skinned woman to a hairy, smelly man?

How she won the prize: Jules signed herself for the trip one day as she was surfing the web. She likes to jump at the opportunity for any kind of adventure and some of those cliffs she saw of the island would make great diving spots.

FC: Alexander Ludwig
28 years old – British Columbia, Canada
Freelance Photographer

click me

Traits: Observant of all that surrounds him, calm to the core just as he's modest and polite to mostly everyone. He's a lone wolf though and secretive, has trust issues for some years now.

Personality: Xander is a 28 year old man who is a landscape/nature photographer freelancer. He had some of his photos published in photography magazines but he's unknown for most people.
Aside from photography he likes hiking and plays guitar, which he takes with him wherever.
This man is very hard to get to know since he's pretty lonesome, but although he doesn't speak much he's polite to everyone when needed.
Has an eye for details that may escape others; learned to appreciate the beauty in all the small things that surround him.
Something within him makes it hard to trust others, never helping but fear they might betray him like one friend once did.

How he won the prize: Xander signed himself, he's always looking for new spots to photograph although he'd admit some vacations would be great.

FC: Michael B. Jordan
23 years old – Trenton, New Jersey
Unemployed

click me

Traits: Fun, supportive, trustworthy when sober, can't be serious even when he has to though, too flirty for his own good, sore loser in any game/competition.

Personality: Riley is an ambitious but lazy man. He wants to be an actor for Hollywood but never did finish his theater course. He also likes astronomy, finding constellations in the sky, likes parties and drinking like any young man. He can't say no to being challenged to any kind of game though he hates to lose. He excels at beer pong.
He's pleasant to be around though, except when he's trying to be flirty. He really doesn't know when to stop.
Riley is open-minded about people and the world, having a lesbian sister and several gay friends. He's a strong lgbt supporter.

How he won the prize: Riley's sister filled the form for the both of them. Only he was selected which upset the man but he forgot all about it at the mention of the open bar.

FC: Diego Boneta
27 years old – Broken Hill, Australia
Ranch worker

click me

Traits: Calm, gentle, sweet-hearted (not the diabetes giving type though), selfless, lacks self-confidence around women, has a horrible sense of orientation and he's easily distracted

Personality: Arthur is that gentle man one hardly finds these days. He always wears a smile, likes to cheer up people, loves nature and horse backing since he first tried it when he was 8 years old. He also likes to play tennis.
He manages to get lost very very often in places he doesn't know well even if he has a map or a compass or a gps with him. Yes, even with a gps.
Arthur hates scary movies but he does watch them when his friends want to watch, simply because he doesn't want to say no and let them down.
He is calm despite getting lost often or distracted, never really giving in to panic, at least not in the surface. If he sees someone in distress he'll make his mission to calm that person down and make sure everything's okay and smiling at the end of it all.

How he won the prize: Arthur signed up with a few friends in hope of have some nice vacations with the group. Only Arthur was selected but none of them mind, they think he deserves it.

FC: Brant Daugherty
26 years old – London, UK
CEO

click me

Traits: Confident in his looks; extrovert; blunt at times since he's a chatter-box; humorous and witty; persistent; carefree whenever off work; very easy-going but passionate in what interests him and vivatious, wanting to live life to the fullest; can be nosy at times and stubborn.

Personality: Leo is a person one would immediately dismiss as a playboy from the way he acts around everyone, smiling and chatting like he knows everyone for ages, but this young man is actually extremely loyal and protective of his family. That is why when his older brother divorced and was left alone in a house that used to have so much joy he made an excuse to move in with him, saying it was closer to his company.
His successful job gave him the opportunity to visit several countries and take extremely good vacations. He's sociable, doesn't know how to be any other way and believes that sadness only attracts more sadness. That's why he smiles and laughs and tells jokes even if some are as dry as the sahara desert. Leo is a person that anyone could be sure to have a good time because despite his cheerful demeanor he also has a deep side and loves to talk about different cultures, especially those he already managed to visit.

How he won the prize: His now-ex girlfriend wanted them both to sign up for the vacation but he didn't. He lost a bet to his friends and the consequence was to sign up with her. Thankfully she didn't get selected and he took the chance to go on vacation as a single man.

FC: Penn Badgley
29 years old – Livadia, Greece
Tour guide/monitor

click me

Traits: Sociable, always being able to maintain a conversation, balancing well between being a listener and a talker, fit, leading a healthy vegan lifestyle and working out every day at the gym or doing laps at the pool, which gives him an envious body. Light-drinker, decisive on whatever matter it's given him, he makes a decision and sticks to it, for the good or the bad and doesn't think twice about it.

Personality: Marco worked as a tour guide through Sicily before he was hired to work at a very well known resort. He speaks Italian, Spanish, English and French and loves to travel. On his free time he likes to work a few bucks as a monitor in the local gym.
He's funny and sociable with people, loving a good party or even sitting down by the lounge and hear some music and relax. He doesn't like to drink alcohol because he gets far too easily drunk due to his diet and becomes aggressive and angsty at the world. He's a good problem solver, knowing how to act in every circumstance.

How he won the prize: Marco signed up himself. His main goal was to know the island as the palm of his hand and maybe land a job at the luxury spot. Oh and for the fun part of it too.

FC: Alexander McQueen
24 years old – New Mexico, USA
Actor

click me

Traits: Modest and eager to learn, extremely friendly and polite to everyone; has a bit of a hard time expressing himself the right way. He's also closed-off when it comes to his feelings although sometimes his eyes reflect them like an open book.

Personality: Peter, or Pete is a very calm boy. He has a way of dealing with people that makes them relax and a sort of subconscious psychology. He can give the best advise but rarely follows his own advises when it comes to himself. Landing a small part at CSI opened a door for him as he is starting to take his first steps by auditioning for bigger roles in tv shows. He prefers a long-running income than a big movie that ends within months. When it comes to his friendships, Pete is always the balance, the serene figure that settles any arguments. Unfortunately that balance doesn't reach his bedroom. He's quite messy when it comes to his stuff, there's always piles of clothes everywhere since he changes around 6 times before settling for a shirt for the day; he just lacks the confidence to rock what he wears, whatever it might be. Sociably, despite being an actor Pete isn't the most outgoing or outspoken person there is, especially when it comes to women. Peter speaks Spanish fluently due to his Latino heritage.

How he won the prize: Pete signed up with his twin brother for the trip. Both of them were selected but his brother fell ill and couldn't go. Their parents forced Peter to go anyway but he didn't want to go all by himself.

FC: Alysha Nett
26 years old – New York, US
Musician

click me

Traits: Daring in all aspects of her life, either music or herself; Creative, having designed all of her tattoos (she has 5 all through her body). Outgoing, loves the nightlife and a good club; Hot-headed, hating to be hit on by men, she likes to do the hunting, not the other way around and shoves aside any man brave enough to give a second try after she says no.

Personality: Andrea grew from child to adult with her artistic vein always popping. First it was with drawing, which she enjoyed but when she learned the way music could make her feel and also could make others feel she decided she wanted to be a singer; her voice though isn't the strongest so she never got to be a lead singer even if was a part of two other bands before this one and that is why she took into playing bass and keeping her voice for the background vocals where she'd be far more helpful.
Despite that she isn't envious of the lead singers, she knows every one in the band has a purpose and they're all equally important.

How she won the prize: Andrea's boyfriend signed them both up, wanting to surprise her. He succeeded at that, especially when only Andrea was the lucky chosen.

FC: Liam Payne
25 years old – Tamaulipas, Mexico
Painting Artist

click me

Traits: Ambitious, wanting to be the next Picasso or Van Gogh, intelligent, knows what art he wants to make and who he needs to make it. Responsible in everything he does and also to others next to him, which ends up with him looking rather bossy.

Personality: Thiago, or Ty for his friends, left his family behind in Mexico to be an artist in Europe. He wanted to see the birth of civilization and be inspired to create masterpieces. When that didn't work instead of giving up he just put his hands to work and spent some years working part-time in a record shop while painting on the side. He posted some ads and managed to land a job illustrating several types of books but it's still pretty far from his goals. He's a hopeful man who believes he'll make it someday and leave his mark on the world to live on when he dies. He's socially awkward when the subject isn't art of some kind, but with a few beers he relaxes and becomes quite a good company. He speaks Spanish and English and a little bit of Portuguese.

How he won the prize: Thiago signed himself for the trip. He thought he'd have nothing to lose when he saw the advertise online and didn't really expect to win. It came to him as a pleasant surprise when he did.

The Discovery

Cressida has just finished her second appointment of the day, feeling satisfied that she helped yet another bride finding the perfect dress for the wedding. Seeing that she still has over an hour left until her next appointment she grabs herself a cup of coffee and walks into her office. Owning a bridal shop isn’t just about selling dresses and making brides happy there is also a lot of paperwork to do. It isn’t her favourite part of her job but she always tells herself that someone has to do it. The blonde woman checks the business emails first but there is nothing unusual… three women asking for an appointment and two reminders about the upcoming wedding fair. After a quick check in the schedule she discovers that she has a few free dates and she makes a mental note to herself that she will reply later this day. Cressida takes a sip of her coffee as she reads her newest private emails and this time something catches her eyes.
“Dear Mrs. Prince, we are happy to announce that you won a spot on our free vacation on our Caribbean Island...” she reads to herself eyebrows furrowed together. She quickly scans the rest of the details mentioning that they also thank her for applying and when she would be leaving. “Either this a joke or the best spam email I have ever seen.” the blonde woman shakes and as far as she can remember she hasn’t joined any lottery where she might win a free vacation. Cressida is about to move the email into the trash when there is a knock and her co-worker and best friend Jasmine steps inside.
“I know you are technical on your break but there is a tiny problem with one of the customers.” she explains looking at her with an apologizing glance.
“It is okay… there is nothing interesting in the mail anyway.” Cressida replies pushing herself out of the chair. “Not to forget that I always remind you to get me if there is any problem… so what is wrong?”
“It is Ms. Martin, she is her for her final fitting and she keeps insisting that she got the wrong dress and that she would never buy something like this.” Jasmine explains with a long sigh, “I checked her information and saw that you took care of her the first time.”
“Ah yes I remember her… she was already slightly difficult when she picked out her dress. Don’t worry I will take care of her.” Cressida says putting on her professional smile as she enters the fitting area to greet the bride and her company. “Ms. Martin, it is nice to see you again. I heard that there is a problem with your dress.”
In the end she spends the rest of her break reassuring Ms. Martin that it is the dress she bought the first time and that none of her employees made any mistakes. Luckily for Cressida Jasmine takes over her next customer and she gets finally a full hour of break. It isn’t her first bride freaking out incident and for sure won’t be the last time but that is part of her job… even if it stressful sometimes she still wouldn’t trade if for anything else in the world. The rest of the day passes uneventful unfortunately the blonde woman can’t go home yet since she still needs to answer her mails from earlier.
“Thanks again for helping out earlier.” Jasmine says after she enters the office.
“It is okay. I did tell you and the others after all that you can come to me anytime.” Cressida replies smiling, “It is me who should thank you for taking care of Ms. Jordan. I’m not sure if I would have managed… especially after dealing with Ms. Martin.” she lets out a sigh leaning back in her chair.
“We are a Team, Cress.” Jasmine smiles sitting down across from her, “We look out for each other… and speaking of this, have you thought about taking a holiday? You have been working non-stop in the past months.”
“Holiday? That reminds me of something. I still haven’t deleted that stupid email from earlier.” Cressida says quickly opening her private email account.
“What email?” Jasmine asks looking at her with furrowed eyebrows.
“Some spam email that I won a free vacation to a Caribbean Island and since I clearly didn’t take part in a contest..”
“What? Let me see!” Jasmine interrupts the blonde woman and in the next moment she is already standing next to her eyes scanning the email, “Wow you won… I can’t believe that you actually won.”
“What do you mean I won? I didn’t win anything since I didn’t apply for this contest.” Cressida looks confused at her best friend.
“Well you didn’t but I might…” the brunette mumbles.
“You did what?! Why would you do that?” she asks arms crossed in front of her chest as she looks at her friend.
“Like I said earlier I thought that you could need a holiday. And before you start arguing with me at least listen. You have been working non-stop, coming in earlier and always leaving later than everybody else.” Jasmine explains, “When I saw the ad about the contest I would give it a try and now you won.” she adds with a grin.
“I can’t just go on a vacation… especially not for weeks. What about the boutique? It is June and you know exactly how many weddings there are during the summer months.” Cressida exclaims. “What about all my appointments in the next time?”
“You are not the only one working, Cress. I already checked with the others about the appointments and we all agree that we are going to share them between us.” Jasmine tells her looking at her with a hopeful glance. “See it like this. You have the opportunity to go on a free vacation to a Caribbean Island… just imagine it, sleeping longer, lying in the sun, being lazy.”
Cressida looks at her best friend for a while before she lets out a long and frustrated sigh, “You thought about everything, didn’t you?”
“Of course I did.” Jasmine replies nodding excitedly, “I worry about Cress and so do the others but you know me. I can’t keep my mouth shut and someone has to look out for you.” she wraps an arm around the blonde woman pulling her into a hug, “Stop worrying about everything and take some time for yourself.”
“I don’t know… what if something happens while I’m gone. I could take a vacation but stay home just in case.” Cressida bites on her lower lip. “On the other hand a Caribbean Island does sound like a dream coming true.”
“Exactly!” Jasmine exclaims happily, “And you can trust us. We are going to take good care of “Da Vinci” while you are gone.”
“I can’t believe that I’m doing this but I will go.” Cressida smiles at her friend, “But there is something I don’t understand. You could have applied yourself for the vacation and instead you go through all this for a tiny chance of me winning.”
“Someone has to look out for you and if you are not going to do it.” Jasmine replies with a shrug, “You do need a vacation and I’m just happy that you won… and if not I would have found another way.”
“Oh I’m not doubting that for a second.” the blonde woman chuckles. “Are you done for today?”
“You better not. Yup, what about?” Jasmine asks smiling.
“I still need to reply to a few emails but then I’m done too. If you don’t mind waiting we can go out for dinner.” Cressida suggests.
“I would never say no to dinner and while we are at it. We can discuss what you need for your vacation. Who knows you might find yourself a good looking man.” Jasmine laughs poking out her tongue. Cressida shakes with her head instead of replying… she is still not 100 percent convinced but maybe her friend is right and all she needs is a vacation.

A pleasant flight (Marco)

“6B… 6B…” Cressida murmurs to herself as she is walking the corridor of the airplane, “Ah there you are but no window seat. Too bad but it just for 4 hours.” she thinks to herself as she sits down. As she looks around the place she notices that they aren’t more than 20 twenty people taking part in the vacation.Not that she minds much since for her the holiday is more about relaxing and taking time for herself… if she makes some friend she won’t complain but it isn’t her main purpose.
“Excuse me. May I?” a male voice snaps her out of her thoughts. She turns her head to the left noticing a young man standing in the aisle.
“Yes?” Cressida replies giving him a quick glance… he is tall with black hair, soft dark brown eyes and a nice smile. Her first thought is that she might be in his seat and she opens her mouth to apologize when she notices the boarding pass in his hand. “Oh you are my seating partner.” she adds with a small smile.
“Looks like it.” he replies smiling as well, “I’m Marco.” he moves past her before sitting down extending his hand in her direction.
“Cressida.” she shakes his hand. “Nice to meet you.”
“Likewise. Cressida… that is an unusual name.” Marco says looking at her.
“I wouldn’t say unusual maybe not well-known.” the blonde woman shrugs, “And how did you end up on this vacation?”
“I saw the contest and just applied thinking to myself Marco, this is an opportunity you can’t miss.” he explains laughing, “Not only could it be fun if I won and I was planning on learning more about the island and who knows maybe I will be this impressive that they hire me.” he flashes her a smile and a traitorous part of her mind thinks that this is a sight she could get used to.
“So basically you are going on a vacation to maybe get yourself a job. This is for sure a very interesting reason.” Cressida chuckles brushing a strand of her blonde hair back, “Mhm let me guess… you are working in the tourist branch?”
“Exactly and if it won’t work out I can still enjoy a free vacation on a very beautiful Caribbean Island. What about you? What is your interesting story, Cressida?” he asks looking at her. In the corner of her eye she notices that the stewardesses have started with the safety instruction meaning that the flight is going to start soon. “I’m a tour guide in Greek.”
“I don’t think my story is that interesting. I didn’t apply for the vacation myself. Actually I haven’t heard about the contest until I got the email that I won.” she tells him with a smile, “My best friend Jasmine signed me up because apparently I’m in a serious need of a holiday.” she laughs shaking with her head.
“Oh a workaholic.” Marco teases her.
“No… well okay maybe a bit.” the blonde woman admits, “But owning a bridal store is no a walk in the park though I wouldn’t trade it for anything else in the world. And yes maybe I do work a bit much but I’m on vacation now and I don’t plan to do anything else than relaxing and being lazy.” she tells him, “What about you, Marco? How did you end up in Greek?”
“What makes you think that I wasn’t born there?” he asks lips curled into a grin as he looks at her. Being this close she notices that his eyes are almost black in the certain light.
“I don’t know. I just have a feeling or a sixth sense if you prefer.” Cressida grins back.
“Well you are not wrong… my family moved there when I was a child and I never had a reason to leave. I don’t know if you have been to Greece before but it is beautiful and simply fascinating. With so much history being a tour guide seemed like the obvious choice for me.” Marco explains and the blonde woman recognizes the look on his face… it is the same one she gets when talking about her bridal store. “But you got me curious as well… I met quite a lot people in my life but I don’t think anyone of them owns a bridal store or I can’t remember right now.”
“There isn’t much of a story behind my work I fear.” she tells him chuckling, “I was already working in the store for 6 years when the old owner asked me if I wanted to take over the store. I said yes and now I own it… with all the boring paperwork and a few horror brides.”
Their conversation gets interrupted by one of the stewardesses asking if they would like to drink or eat something.
“A water please.” Marco orders with a smile and then it happens… Cressida is trying to be helpful taking the cup and trying to hand it over when she spills it all over his white shirt.
“Oh my god… I’m so sorry.” she quickly grabs a few napkins trying to dry him off. The blonde woman tries not to notice the abs and hard muscles on Marco’s stomach as she pushes her hand against it. A few years ago she would have blushed and probably embarrassed herself even more.
“It is okay Cressida. It is only water and by the time we have landed I will be dry again.” Marco says and as she looks up from her hands she notices that they have gotten closer.
“Still you are all wet because of me. You can at least let me make it up to you.” she offers with her hands still pressed on his stomach.
“Mhm and what did you have on mind?” Marco asks with a teasing grin.
“I don’t know yet but I’m sure I can think of something.” Cressida replies wiping one more time over his shirt before she moves her hand away. The rest of the flight they talk about various stuff, like what they have planned for the vacation and what they are expecting from the resort. The 4 hours pass quicker than Cressida has first thought and in the end she is kinda glad that Marco has been her sitting partner… and if she stares a bit longer on his butt as they both exit the plane, well no one has to know.

Having fun (Leo & Zack)

The resort is absolutely beautiful, a true paradise and to think that Cressida almost decided not go seems like a bad choice in retrospective. Luckily she has an equally stubborn friend in Jasmine and now looking at her room with a wonderful view on the beach she realizes that a postcard from this place won’t be enough to show how thankful she is. But Cressida wouldn’t be Cressida if she was going to find something even if it meant spending some time looking. After unpacking she takes a short shower and then gets ready for the Reception Party in the evening. Honestly she would rather go to bed immediately since she feels rather exhausted from all the flying but she knows that the party might be a good opportunity to get to know the other winners a bit better.
Cressida arrives a bit late and like she has already noticed on the plane there are less winners than she has expected to be. She easily spots Marco in the crowd talking with black-haired woman. It would be easy to join him considering that they already know each other but spending weeks talking only with one person seems pretty boring to her. But first she needs a drink unfortunately Cressida gets distracted by a movement in the corner of her eyes and before she knows it she is bumping straight into something or someone solid.
“I’m sorry. I wasn’t paying attention, are you…” she starts to apologize but stops mid-sentence when she actually really who she bumped into. A young man with pretty blue green eyes and a warm and bright smile.
What is with this island and good-looking men? she thinks to herself blinking twice.
“It is okay, no harm done.” he replies lips still curled into this distracting smile and Cressida can feel herself blushing slightly. “I’m Leo.”
“Cressida. And sorry again. I promise I’m usually not that blind but it seems like I get easily distracted at this place.” she says offering him a smile when she notices the drink in his hand, “Oh did you spill it? I can get you a new one if you want.”
“It is fine really. Like I said no harm done.” Leo replies his green blue eyes slightly sparkling in the light. “But I do know what you mean. This place is truly amazing. We have been only here for a few hours but I can already imagine myself staying longer than just a few weeks.”
“Are you sure that you aren’t going to get boring of everything being this perfect?” Cressida asks lips curled into a smile, “I still have a bit of a hard time believing that everything is free and that there is nothing we have to worry about.”
“Are you always this pessimistic?” Leo teases laughing at her.
“I prefer optimistic. But who knows I might change my opinion given the right time.” she shrugs, ”And the right company…” she thinks to herself.
“I’m sure you will start to enjoy it sooner or later. I mean just look at this beautiful beach and the whole island.” Leo says with a bright smile. “Not to forget that winning this free vacation means that you have enjoy it.”
“I should be rather thankful that I’m here. If it weren’t for my best friend Jasmine I would be sitting at home reading a book instead of appreciating the view.” Cressida explains tucking a strand of her blonde hair back.
“In this case I have to thank my friends and also my Ex… I suppose.” the young man says eyebrows furrowed together.
“Okay I do get the friends but why the Ex?” she asks realizing a bit too late that he might not want to talk about it. She is ready to take back her question and apologize but Leo beats her.
“She wanted to sign up together but I didn’t feel like it and then my friends came up with a bet and I lost… well now I’m here and she not.” Leo tells her with a shrug but also smiling at the same time. Cressida looks at him blinking twice not quite sure that to reply. Usually she would say something like sorry or that she didn’t mean to bring up this topic but to her he doesn’t seem too sad about him being single on this vacation.
“Well that is for sure a different way to win a free holiday…” the blonde woman replies in the end cringing since it sounds pretty lame.
“I guess it is but sounds like you also had a friend giving you a push in the right direction.” Leo laughs.
“Oh you have no idea. Usually I’m the stubborn one but my friend Jasmine was better this time and kept insisting that I should go on a vacation and that I would be a fool if I said no to this offer. I’m starting to realize that she was right.” Cressida tells him with a soft smile. “Anyways I need a drink and unless you are sure that I can’t bring you a new one.”
“Still have more than enough but I’m sure we will see each other again, Cressida.” he flashes another of his bright smiles, “Enjoy the rest of the evening.” 

Just a few minutes later Cressida finds herself sitting at the bar eyes scanning over the drink menu trying to decide what to pick. There are a quite few offers catching her eye and despite not drinking everyday now and then she does enjoy a good drink.
“I can recommend you the whiskey.” someone says and the blonde woman makes the mistake of turning her head in the voice’s direction meeting yet another handsome man. Though this time she doesn’t even hide the fact that she is checking him… she guesses he is around her age, with brown hair, chocolate brown eyes and a very appealing smile. His shirt is open giving her quite a good glance on what is hiding underneath and the feeling that he isn’t even trying to hide anything in the first place.
“Unless you prefer something else…” he says and she moves her gaze back to his face immediately noticing his smirk, “Why don’t you come a bit closer? You might get an ever better look.” he offers patting at the free barstool next to him.
“I think I will keep my distance for now, after all we don’t know each other yet.” Cressida replies lips curled into a grin as she sits down two seats next to him.
“I’m Zack and you are?” he leans on the counter looking at her with his dark eyes.
“Cressida.” she replies waving her hand in the direction of the barkeeper.
“And what about now? You know my name, I know yours.” Zack says with a smirk and she rolls her eyes before moving into the seat next to him. “See, wasn’t that hard right?”
“Mhm I’m not fully convinced yet.” the blonde woman leans on the counter, “But you seem nice so I’m going to take the risk.”
“Oh I can promise you that I’m more than nice.” Zack replies, “I don’t share my whiskeys recommendations with everybody.” 
“Is that so? I should feel honored then I suppose.” Cressida chuckles, “Unfortunately I’m not exactly a fan of whiskey so I’m going to order something else.” she waves for the bartender again and this time he actually notices her.
“Please don’t tell me you are going to order one of those colorful drinks with the umbrella and sparkly decoration.” Zack says with a frown before he takes a sip from his glass.
“A cocktail? God no… I can’t stand the taste of them, way too sweet.” she shakes with her head before turning her attention to the bartender, “I’ll have a glass of the 2015 Cabernet sauvignon please.”
“So Cressida, what is someone hot like you doing on this island?” Zack asks moving a bit closer to her.
“Right now or in general? Cause right now I’m talking with this very good-looking man.” she teases lips curled into a grin, “In general I would say I’m about to have a very relaxing vacation and I think it is getting better and better. What about you?”
“That is pretty easy. I saw the contest and thought to myself Zack, you would be an idiot if you don’t sign up. It isn’t everyday that you get the opportunity to explore a private island and that for free.” Zack explains grinning widely, “During my work as jet pilot there are a lot of places to explore and this one is just another place on my list. What about you, Cressida? What did you do to end up talking to this very good-looking man?”
“Not much to be honest. My friend Jasmine signed me up saying that I’m in serious need of a vacation and I’m starting to realize that she might have been right.” she replies taking a sip from her red wine eyes never leaving Zack’s face. If she had known ahead that she would met not one but three good-looking men during her free vacation she wouldn’t have hesitated for a second. Cressida’s main point of the holiday is to find some time for herself but she is starting to see that having some company might not be so bad after all.
“I should thank your friend then if it was her work that you ended up sitting next to me.” Zack smirks at her before raising his glass, “To a satisfying holiday?” 
“To a satisfying holiday…” she agrees clinking her glass against his.

Personality traits: hedonistic, strong-willed, impulsive and intelligent (both street smart and book smart)

Pt. 1: Why I applied for the free vacation:

"What do you mean this is worth half of our grade?!" The voice came from behind me as I sat in my final lecture of the day. I didn't have to turn to know exactly who it belonged to...or to know why he was complaining about the handout that had been placed in front of us, the one that explained the lottery. Leave it to Mitchell, my former research partner to look at an opportunity and treat it like some horrible obligation.

"You're sociology students," Our professor Dr. King began to explain calmly, "Think of it as research...because that's exactly how I'll be grading it if any of you are accepted."

"What if we're not? Do we automatically fail?" Mitchell asked in a panic.

"Of course not." Dr. King laughed "But you do have to apply."

So I did...along with the rest of my class...and I'm sure a million other people. And I was accepted.

Pt. 2: The flight etc.:

Full disclosure: I'm not a fan of flying but if it'll get me closer to the free vacation than I'm in.

I wasn't prepared for the sheer opulence of the resort. My quick online search didn't do it justice...it also didn't prepare me for how many amazing looking seemed to have descended on the island. I couldn't help but start to mentally pair people off, maybe it was sociology training, but it also could have been the three mimosas I had on the plane.

I half expected the woman at the check out desk to say it was all a joke, that we were on a hidden camera show and on a sound stage in Cleveland somewhere. It wasn't until she handed me my room key and told me about the party later that I finally allowed myself to accept the situation as real.

During the party I found myself taking mental notes, this was a school assignment after all. I noticed how at ease most people seemed to be with people who only hours before were strangers. There were a few wallflowers of course, a shy looking red hed, a hottie with a camera...those were the people I wanted to...and for the sake of my grade likely needed to talk to, but I kept found my eyes wandering to a particularly beautiful blonde. Before I could approach any of them though I felt a shooting pain in my head and the noise of the party wasn't helping. I probably should have stayed but I could almost hear the aspirin I had packed calling my name...

Personality traits: Vegan, good painter having the potential of becoming a great painter, sometimes drinks too much, smokes cigarettes since high school, bi with a preference towards males but she'll never refuse a cute girl, mostly ironic, makes offensive jokes.

Why I applied for the free vacation:
Mostly because I don't have a full time job and can't really afford to pay for a vacation. Also some of my friends did it and I thought it was a fun idea, something I never did before. It also sounded like a great opportunity to escape school.

The flight:
Don't remember much about the flight 'cause I was mostly asleep. Even tho I fly since I was 13 I F.ing hate it. I just remember when the flight attended screamed at me to get of the plane, thank God my ears were clogged.

At the party:
Hell yeah! Time for some mother F.ing drinks, not that cheep wine they gave us on the plane.
I went to the bar first and got myself a gin tonic, than found a not so crowded place. I lit a cigarette and watch everybody doing their own thing. There are 3 people worth knowing: the black guy with the cute smile (Riley), the white guy with the cute smile (Leo) and the hot blonde with tattoos (Andrea) I said to myself when bumped over me and made me spill my drink.
''Watch out you dumbass''
''Oh, sorry bat girl. Didn't see you there''

''I SAID I DIDN'T SAW YOU THERE, are you deaf?''
''No dumbster, before that. Did you just call me a bat?'' (dumbster a combination between dumb and dumpster)

''What? No! Now F. off. You're consuming my air''
''Wait, wait. Sorry, at least let me buy you another drink and we can talk about how ''bat'' you want to be with me tonight''
''Ihh''

Age: 24
Home Country: United States
Relationship Status: single
Occupation: Journalist

Face Claim: Britt Robertson


Personality Traits: Curious, hard-working, quick-learner, distracted easily, impulsive, naive, funny, always late.

Why I applied: I am always looking for new places to go. Since I am a journalist, I thought it would be a good opportunity for me to write about this vacation and if it will be worth it for other people to go. Besides, who doesn't like a free vacation?

Journalism can be so time-consuming, so I barely ever have any time for myself. This vacation will give me not just the opportunity to write about it but also to spend some time for myself. That's killing two birds with one stone.

Flight & reception story: Believe it or not this was my first time on a plane. I only ever travel by bus or by train so this was exciting. I didn't know how early I needed to be there for my flight so I actually arrived just a tad late. When I heard the name of my flight being announced I was at the other side of the airport so I had to sprint to make it on time. Anyway, I got settled on my seat. Then the plane took off. Was not prepared for that feeling. I think I actually screamed a bit because the guy sitting next to me was looking at me with a weird face. I just awkwardly smiled and stood silence for most of the flight. That is until I saw him (the guy sitting next to me) reading my favourite book. I might have let out a little squeak because once again, he looked at me as if I was insane. I started talking to him about the book but nope, he's not a conversation person.

I was in awe when I saw the resort. I had never been to such a beautiful place before. The best part was that I could enjoy it all by myself. No co-workers or anyone that could ruin my vacation. The receptionist assigned me a room and gave me some pamphlets. As soon as I walked into my room I jumped on the bed. I looked at the pamphlets that I received earlier and noticed that there was gonna be a reception party that night.

I'm not a fan of parties but I decided to attend anyway. There were tons of people there and the music was way too loud. I grabbed a drink and stood at a corner taking some notes on my phone about my experience so far. When I looked up from my phone I noticed that someone else came to stay in this spot. To my surprise it was the guy from the plane, drinking a beer. I decided not to start a conversation with him knowing how bad my attempt on the plane was. So it came to me as a surprise when he came to me and asked me what my name was. He either didn't remember me or that beer did something to him. We talked about the party for a bit and then I decided to call it a night, although I liked talking with him I was really tired.

Background& Story

It’s called day dreaming

The woman sitting behind the window table looks outside the window at the passing traffic with a coffee before she lets a heavy sign escape.

No one seeing her would think that she’s actually the heiress to the Leighton Company (A construction company), the woman had been prep since she was 5 years old but she never gave a damn about it and the more her parents closed her off the world and tough her about it the more she got attracted to music, it was her escape and till this day it still. When she turned 18 she got on the plane and went to New York without her parents knowing to audition for Juilliard.

Months later she got a letter that stated she got accepted.

She begged her parents to let her go to Juilliard since she was accepted, her parents refused wanted her to go to a different school one that actually toughs her about running a million dollar company. The girl, however, refused them and went on her knees and begged to promise them to do whatever they wanted if they allowed her the four years of freedom to follow the path of music, it would be just that four years, however. Her parents surprised by her behavior finally gave in.

But what do we say, once someone tastes the forbidden fruit they just want more?

The girl had the best four years of her life in the last year she dreaded to go back to her prison to the place she didn’t have a life, not even a voice and certainly not her music. That’s why after she graduates she took the plane to England, a place unknown to her but certainly a place where she could play music, not in the fancy places she desperately wanted but underground, where the subway where. Yet it was always better than no music at all.

The girl blinked what an awful memory standing up and taking her violin with her she disposed of her coffee in the trash the coffee had gotten a bad taste after all and left the shop, it was time for her work after all.

Running once again

The woman was playing the Beethoven Op.24 No.5 Spring.
It wasn’t one of her favorites but it seemed the people in the subway liked it just fine. And that was all she needed to get money for the next meal on her plate.
So she wasn’t a struggling musician per se but she would have liked to perform in beautiful halls before nicely dressed people and just like that the song came to an end.

“That was beautiful,” The woman looks up from her violin and sees well-dressed men holding money that he disposes of in her violin case.

“Thank you, sir, you have beautiful eyes,” The woman smiled and when she saw that the guy threw another 20 more pound the smile only grew bigger. She had to wink at him.

“Thank you gladly,” The woman said taking her violin under her chin once again.

“You're welcome,” The guy gave her another smile before leaving the subway.

The woman then started another song with a little more energy. She liked costumers that gave her compliments after all.
***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** *****
After the last rush hour the woman cleaned her stuff and went home but before she arrived her phone went off.

“Lady Catherine,” The woman pulled a disgusted face.

“It’s Aaliyah now Gordon, how many times do I have to remember you?” Aaliyah replied and rolled her eyes at his answer, which she remembers is always his answer.

“I like Lady Catherine better,” Replied Gordon with respect in his voice.

“Of course you do, How is the home front,” Aaliyah asks hoping her parents finally stopped looking for her not likely but she could dream.

“Late old Sir Leighton passed away yesterday,” Aaliyah blinked sometimes and walked up to her stairs before what Gordon said hit her.

“What Granpie died?” Aaliyah started to shake and her eyes welt up.

“Yes, he did my condolences, Lady Catherine,” Gordon replied.

“Thank you, Gordon,” Aaliyah replied and sniffed that old men always sent Aaliyah money even though Aaliyah refused to touch any she had been grateful that the old men always stood behind her what ever her choice had been.

“But I called you because you were the sole inherited of his company neither your parents or other family members will get a dime if you don’t sign papers that allowed them to run the company,” Gordon said next which made Aaliyah’s eyes go big this time out of shock.

“What!! no, no, no! I can’t come back,” Aaliyah wasn’t scared of much but she rather jump into a box full of snakes than face her parents who were disguised as humans but were truly also snakes but the former actually shows what they really are can’t say the same for the second pair.

“I know but your parents hired a private detective and he already knows you're not in New York not even in America really,”

“What how!” Aaliyah was surprised seeing that it had only been yesterday that her grandpa passed away and the former detectives always got stuck when they can’t find where exactly she went after the four years she hadn’t tell anyone and pays cash always and the fact she changed her name.

“Seems like your grandfather always sent the money to an outside account and he found that today a couple of hours ago actually,” Gordon sounded really impressed and Aaliyah just wanted to throw something.

“This is bad Gordon,” Aaliyah signed and looked out of her window feeling that the walls were coming on her.

“I am sorry lady Catherine but I recommend you to leave England for a while,” Aaliyah huffed she needed money for that.

“I really wished you stopped with that name,” she heard him huff like she uses to when someone annoys her.

“Someone is coming, I will talk to you soon and you really should leave where you are, Bye Lady Catherine,”

“Bye Gordon,” She put her phone down and took her shoes off, seeing an ad about a free vacation in a magazine, Aaliyah nods exactly what she needed maybe her good luck will pay off this time too or else she would go to Scotland for a while.

It’s just a flight|| Andrea

Aaliyah looked out of a window it was a Monday usually her work day but instead of the window at the shop this time it was the window at an airport. A week ago she got a mail saying she won the trip. She had screamed and danced her weird dance out of joy. The detective had been closing up on her each day finding her would be so easy but right now Aaliyah was escaping looking out of the window seeing all the planes she felt at ease. Taking a sip of her coffee she smiled she had escaped her cage once again.

When her plane number was called she walked to the gate and got on the plane taking her seat at the window, lucky her. She looked around her it would be the third time she would fly and she still felt nervous like the first time she flew.

“Hey is this seat 28?” Aaliyah looked up at that voice to see a blond with tattoo’s and Aaliyah got extremely jealous they looked amazingly artistic and well done.

“Sorry, are you deaf? Is this seat 28 or not?” The girl looked tired, impatient and annoyed.

“Oh sorry I was admiring your tats they are beautifully done and artistic I am so jealous I only got birds on my legs….” Aaliyah pointed at them but the girl just raised an eyebrow.

“Oh and yes this seat is 28 not deaf just stars struck, girl,” Aaliyah smiled up at the girl but the girl just sat down quietly.

After a while, the girl turned her attention to Aaliyah seemingly having cooled down.

“I like your birds, do they have any meaning?” The girl asked and Aaliyah nodded.

“Yes be free don’t let a cage stop you,” Aaliyah answers looking at her tattoo she did feel like a free bird.

“That’s beautiful,” The girl looked at her.

“What about yours?” Aaliyah asked.

“Some have feelings others where to show my artistic style,” The girl replied looking at her own tattoos.

“You did a good job on that,” Aaliyah replied also taking the tattoo’s in she counted 3 but maybe the girl had more.

“I bet, if you're the star struck girl,” Aaliyah had to laugh at the imitation of her accent.

“Where you from?” The girl asked when Aaliyah stopped laughing.

“Canadian/ French distant but born in Canadian actually you?” Aaliyah answered not really proud of her heritage and she really didn’t want to talk about her past so she
asked another question.

“New York, born and raised and loving the city,” The girl replied proudly.

“Me too, I loved that city when I attendant Juilliard it really is a city that never sleeps,” Aaliyah smiled remembering the city that took her heart away.

“Wow! Juilliard! Wait for a second are you saying you’re a musician,” The girl's eyes were big if Aaliyah didn’t know better she touched the girl was star struck.

“Yes I am,” Aaliyah smiled proudly.

“OMG! I am also I like you so much more now,” The girl smiled.

“What?! And here I thought I gave a pretty amazing first impression,” Aaliyah joked.

“You did, better than mine first impression,” the girl smirked and they both fell into laughter.

They hadn’t pay much attention during the flight even though both of their ears were flogged the first 10 minutes they kept chatting away talking about, tattoo’s (Aaliyah came to the conclusion she would love to have a creation made by the girl), music (how the girl was in her own band playing guitar and that Aaliyah played underground), New York city (What they loved most about the place) and other topics but none to personal once, all in all the flight seemed shorter because when they finally got to their destination both seemed upset that their talk would come to an end.

They had chatted the whole flight and Aaliyah liked the blond girl with pit, she always had respect for those who made music.

Because Andrea wanted to get some shopping done before checking in, she left the plane immediately when the plane landed.

Walking out of the plane Aaliyah could hit herself on the head.

“Wait soul-sister I never got around to ask your name,” Aaliyah just had the time to catch up with her.

The girl laughed.

“Soul-sister I like it and call me Andrea,” The girl replied and Aaliyah smiled.

“Then call me Aaliyah,” The girl's face turned sour and Aaliyah new already that she didn’t like her name.

“Muah, soul-sister I like Ali more,” With that Andrea whisked away making Aaliyah shake her head and chuckle.

She really did liked the blond after all.

Exploring paradise|| Arthur, Xander, Riley, Peter

Aaliyah made her way to the receptionist and got her room keys and some pamphlets. While walking she was reading the pamphlet her eyes fell upon an article talking about a reception party later that night. Which was great Aaliyah loved herself some party? While not looking where she was going, she bumped into someone.

“Aw,” Aaliyah took several steps backward feeling her toe throb.

“Sorry! Are you okay?” Aaliyah looked up at that voice.

“Yes I am and no need to apologize I wasn’t paying attention,” the guy still seemed concern.

“But I wasn’t paying attention neither,” He responded looking guilty.

Aaliyah thought he looked cute.

“Stupid us,” Aaliyah replied waving away what ever he felt sorry about with the smile she gave him after wards.

“You sure you're okay?” The guy asked and Aaliyah nodded.

“Yes are you?” Aaliyah asked him.

“Not really I’m lost,” The guy admitted.

“Lost?? you mean in this hotel?” Aaliyah asked to be sure.

“Yes,” the guy replied slightly blushing it was cute.

“Where do you need to go?” Aaliyah asked him.

“Room 236 but can’t seem to find it,” Th guy looked around him.

“Because it’s upstairs second floor,” Aaliyah replied simply.

“Really?” That frown on his face almost made Aaliyah, aww him.

“Yes really! Want me to escort you?” Aaliyah asked him genuinely.

“If it’s not too much trouble,” After seeing his red cheeks Aaliyah couldn’t keep it in anymore.

“Awww,” It just made the guy blush harder.

“And here you go,” Aaliyah pointed to his room and was happy to see she had room 234 which wasn’t too far from his.

“Look at this where almost neighbors,” Aaliyah spoke up her though gesturing to where her room properly was.

“Thank you for your trouble…..” The guy looked confused at Aaliyah and blushed.

“Aaliyah,” Aaliyah replied with a smile.

“Thank you, Aaliyah, Call me Arthur,” Arthur replied and Aaliyah smiled.

“Sure I will King Arthur,” The red cheeks that came on Arthur’s cheeks made Aaliyah chuckle before bidding him goodbye.

After re-dressing Aaliyah grabbed some of her sandals and went to explore the place it seemed that some choose to stay in their room for the time being but Aaliyah really wanted to see what this place was made of. Walking past the receptionist once again Aaliyah grabbed a lollipop and went outside. The air was delicious and so was the sight.

Walking around Aaliyah found a guy hurling down making pictures she was intrigued and watched the guy before approaching him,

“Hey, may I ask what your photographing?” Aaliyah asked taking the guy away from his camera for just a second his bright blue eyes had Aaliyah captivated.

“Flowers with the background of the sea,” The responded taking another picture.

“May I see?” Aaliyah asked hopefully.

“I rather you not,” the blond guy replied.

“oww,” Aaliyah replied sadly wanted to leave the guy alone immediately but she was surprised by his next sentence.

“You may get to see them, when I am done, however,” The blond guy replied.

“I would really love that,” Aaliyah smiled.

After that both became quiet and in their own world while one was making photo’s the other was quietly observing and looking around. He indeed showed Aaliyah the pictures when he was done. They were as captivated as their maker.

“They are beautiful,” Aaliyah replied looking all over the pictures once again.

“Thank you,” was the simple response but it didn’t hinder Aaliyah much.

“Here,” the blond guy put a flower he plucked in her hand.

“Oh... thank you,” the guy just nodded simply and walked off.

After her interaction or more like the lack of Aaliyah walked to the pier to look over the sea, she wouldn’t be alone for long.

“You really look finer up close,” Aaliyah turned around at that voice to see a guy with the sweetest smile.

“Excuse me?” Aaliyah asked with a laugh in her voice she could appreciate some flirting.

“I just saw an angel fall and had to see her up close,” The guy was ogling Aaliyah up and down.

Which was a little uncomfortable but Aaliyah was used to this look.

“Corny,” Aaliyah replied.

“Is it working?” The guy asked and Aaliyah shook her head.

“No but nice try,”  Aaliyah replied honestly.

“What if I told you your the prettiest woman I have ever seen?” Aaliyah raised an eyebrow at that.

“I would say that it properly got you laid a lot,” The boy grinned.

“Your right but I mean it when I tell you, you're beautiful,” His smile would have swooped a lot of ladies but it annoyed Aaliyah this boy was too much game.

“too bad I am not in the mood for the dirty,” Aaliyah replied trying to look away to end the conversation but the guy clearly couldn’t take a hint.

“Why not?” He asked and Aaliyah the Chatterbox couldn’t answer without lying so she stuttered. “Uhm...”

“It would be the best night you would ever have,” Aaliyah doubt it.

“I don’t even know your name,” Aaliyah answered and the guy smiled once again.

“Ow, you can call me Casanova,” Aaliyah gagged in her mouth a little, “Or?”

“Riley and you are beautiful?” He replied.

“Aaliyah, really I have to return back I think my boyfriend must be looking for me right now,” Aaliyah replied walking around him.

“Really you got a boyfriend? I would be better you know,” His suggested pose made Aaliyah want to run.

“Sorry I meant fiancé,” Aaliyah almost choked on all her lies.

“Really where’s your ring?” The guy asked raised an eyebrow.

Aaliyah never wanted to escape someone so badly in her life except her parents maybe and then she saw another guy walk on the pier she could jump of joy instead she yelled.

“Oh there he is, Honey!” rushing over to the guy, Aaliyah kissed his cheek and hugged him.

Before mumbling in his ear “I am sorry,”

Aaliyah looked back and saw Riley’s face cloud over before he walked away. And felt slightly guilty but he was too persistent

Aaliyah lets a heavy sign escape and releases the guy she was holding.

“I am really sorry mate but you just saved me big time,” Aaliyah smiled up at him.

“U hm.. uh...” The guy was really shocked with what was happening it seemed.

“I am Aaliyah and you are?”  Aaliyah asked the handsome guy.

“Peter,” The guy replied still shocked.

“Really thanks, Peter, next time I will pay you back promise,” Aaliyah waved the guy bye and walked off the pier to her room she had to get dressed for a party after all.

One drink, one chat and fun|| Juliana& Andrea, Xander, Leo

“Soul-sister!” Aaliyah looked up from the bar at that voice.

“Andrea,” Aaliyah replied with a big smile.

“I see you made yourself already comfortable with a drink,” Andrea gesture the bar where Aaliyah’s blue Curaçao’s cocktail was sitting.

“Of course, I would do that,” Aaliyah replied with a grin.

“Uh, uhm,” someone cleared their voice behind them.

“Oh yes, Aaliyah this is Juliana,” Andrea said gesturing to the hot lady behind.

“And Juliana this is Aaliyah,”  She snatched Aaliyah’s drink when Aaliyah gave Juliana a hand.

“But you can say Jules pretty,” Juliana replied with a wink Aaliyah smiled.

“Don’t mind me then Jules,” She replied.

“I really can get drown in your eyes,” Jules said after a while not letting go of Aaliyah’s hand.

“Shouldn’t I be saying that Jules,” Aaliyah replied looking in those clear blue eyes.

“Okay you two, search for a room,” Aaliyah realized her hand and laughed at Andrea.

“Sorry, Babe your my true and only soul-mate,” Aaliyah said kissing Andrea’s cheek.

“Gross Ali I do the hunting,” Aaliyah and Jules both had to laugh at that.

They talked in their little group Aaliyah immediately volunteering to do some crazy stuff with Jules the woman really seemed awesome enough and she promised to jam some songs with Andrea she loved doing classic music but she could rock songs to she just prefers to play classic when she’s underground.
It gets the most money when there’s rush hour. Some time in their conversation it got heated when someone bumped into Andrea she went a little crazy but it got worked out pretty quickly the bat girl was pretty cool. Jules was the first to excuse herself to go flirting with some other shy girl. Aaliyah was the second to excuse herself to go to the lady rooms when she stepped out she saw the photographer from earlier he had a camera around his neck but this time he wasn’t making any photo’s.

“Don’t you like the party,” Aaliyah asks him.

“It’s louder than I expected,” The blond guy answered.

“Really? Next, your going to tell me you can’t dance,” Aaliyah replied playfully.

“I actually can,” Was his simple answer.

Just then a song starts that Aaliyah actually loved she grabs his hand and puts it on her hips.

“Then lead me,” Aaliyah said seriously the guy face finally changed with a small smile.

dance
Aaliyah was surprised that he could move that nice but she still enjoyed his embrace maybe a little too much but who cared she also wondered who taught him to dance. When the song came to an end both were breathing heavy. Both refusing to let the other go.

“You never told me your name," Came his whispering voice.

“You never asked,” Aaliyah replied back also whispering.

“I am asking now,” His voice was so reassuring.

“Cat...Aaliyah,” Aaliyah was the most shocked that for the first time in her life she wanted to give her real name most likely even tell her whole past.

“I am sorry, excuse me,” Aaliyah walked away from him fast or else she would have spilled everything.

Aaliyah needed to cool down and fast she really wished to go back to him but wasn’t sure it was a good idea. When she finally found a jacuzzi on and all she got rid of her bag, shoes, and dress. She stepped into the water and closed her eyes it was delicious really.

“It’s not nice to steal someone’s else time,” Aaliyah just opened one eye but when she saw how hot the guy was before her and then that smile both eyes went wide immediately.

“I am sorry but we can share if you like,” Aaliyah replied when she caught her tongue again.

“I thought you would never ask,” The guy smile was cautious before Aaliyah knew it she was smiling too.

“I don’t share baths without knowing the ladies name,”  the guy was still smiling.

“I am Aaliyah,”  Aaliyah replied with a smile.

“Damn your eyes are like forests,”  the guy said when he got closer to give a hand.

“Thank you, sir,” Aaliyah replied amused and held her hand out for him to take.

“Leo is fine, sir makes me sound old,” Leo replied and Aaliyah just smirked.

“And your not?” She asked amused.

“I beg your pardon, I am only 26 years of age,” Leo answered shocking surprise.

“Really??” Aaliyah asked innocently.

“Are you teasing me?” HE asked getting closer Aaliyah grinned mischievously.

“Yes!” Aaliyah was shocked when Leo starts to tickle her she laughed so hard.

Some while later when it started to get really cold Aaliyah bit her farewell but promised to meet with Leo soon.

Just when she was before her room she saw the blond guy remembering she still didn’t know his name it would be so easy just calling him over.

It would be great to get a good night hug,
then a sweet kiss and then inviting him in.

But I told you already that’s just day dreaming.

Aaliyah opened her room door and stepped in before closing it behind her.

Name:

Cara O'Connor


Age:

19


Home Country:

Northern Ireland


Relationship Status:

Single


Occupation:

I'm a jockey; don't get me wrong, I love horses, and winning the Grand National was amazing. But I'd much rather have my own salon, which is why I'm also on a hair and beauty course.

Face Claim:

Holland Roden
Link to external image


Personality Traits:

Extremely extroverted, easy to get along with, very ambitious, adventurous, kind hearted, quick witted, charming, optimistic, sociable, self-assured.

Speaks before she thinks, talks a lot, reckless, not the most intelligent, can be short tempered, keeps real emotions to self unless she really trusts someone, compulsive, gullible.


Reason For Applying:

If I'm completely honest, it was a total accident I applied. All I was trying to do was view the clothes in my basket; I thought the form I was filling in was to buy the clothes. I have to say I was surprised when they didn't ask for my card details... but not nearly as surprised as I was when I had an email saying I'd won a free holiday! Who could say no to that!


The Flight:


"Some people are actually terrified of flying but I actually love it I just think it's amazing especially when we take off it's like being on a roller coaster but clearly we're not on a roller coaster we're on a plane that should take off any moment omg we almost have the same colour hair what are the chances of that what's your name?" I pause, allowing the ginger girl hair sat next to me to answer my question.
She stares at me blankly, "Why are you in your pyjamas?"
"Why Are You In Your Pyjamas, hey that's a funny name!" I reply, a beam on my face.
But the girl just rolls her eyes. "Charity."
I feel my cheeks go red. "Oh dammmmn. I didn't realise we had to make a donation. All my money's in my suitcase!"
Sighing, the girl rolls her eyes once more. "No, my name's Charity."
"Ohhhhh sorry. I'm Cara." I say, offering my hand out to her. Charity takes it, giving a small smile and nod.

Just as I think I'm well on the way to the blossom of a beautiful new friendship, Charity pulls some headphones out of her bag and puts them on. Guess she's not much of a talker. Oh well, it gives me the opportunity to catch up on some sleep. Afterall, 3 in the afternoon is a little bit early for me.


The Reception Party:


Normally I only really like to go out with my girlies, but who can say no to free drinks?

I'm sure I had a really good time, but to be honest I don't really remember. In fact, I don't even remember getting home at all. I do, however, remember being carried back to my room.


Romantic Interests:

Riley, Leo and Arthur

Name: Arabella 'The Hangstress' Vandala

Age: 59

Country: Greece

Relationship Status: Quite singular, I assure you.

Occupation: Retired; Trapeze Artist

Face Claim: Constance Towers



Personality Traits: Dramatic; Fierce; Genteel; Ostentatious; Wicked; Murderess - I'm terribly sorry, my dear, I don't seem to have any flaws for you.


Saga: Dread and Circuses

We were delayed on the tarmac, waiting for an itty-bitty little thing that tumbled on late, all apologies as she settled in and we were finally allowed to taxi. I had always been jaded by air travel - it seemed so slow, pedestrian and mundane. Sealed in a metal tube, surrounded by the best dregs society has to offer - you would not fault me so if you witnessed the bouillabaisse within; a titian-tressed wallflower, a grown man sporting a ponytail, a lost wild child clearly AC/DC from the brazen glances she shared with the female attendants & passengers alike, a poor little waif who obviously never learned not to color outside the lines given how she had smothered nearly square inch of skin with ink, and perhaps most intriguing of all, a real-life vampire. And the way they dressed, you would think they came from hunger, ripped pants, shredded shorts, half-shirts, pajamas. I would say back in my day, people knew how to dress for a flight, there was something special about air travel and a quality of class sorely lacking nowadays.. but that would be disingenuous as this was still most definitely my day and would be so, until it was torn from my cold dead - and gloved! - hands.



That was not comparable to real flying through the air, the klieg lights on you, the bar leaving your fingertips during your release as you tucked into a bullet and shot your body towards the unknown: another bar, a partner's waiting hands, or perhaps nothing but the screams of the crowd as you glided towards the net below. They loved to scream, loved the fear, just as I loved the adrenaline and the spotlight. It has been that way since I started at the circus in Monemvasia, a stony fortress of an island in Greece. I became a performer in many disciplines, wherever I was needed: tightrope, acrobat, showgirl - but my first and lasting love remained the trapeze. We were artists, we were family. And you know what they say about artists and family: temperamental and you can't live with them, you can't kill them. However, I had always been a can-do kinda gal.

I killed my first opponent at the tender age of 19; a slight wisp of a [redacted] who had harangued and harassed my partner, Apollo, into taking his own life through a complex scheme of lies and manipulations claiming to be pregnant with his child and then running off with another man. Need I tell you that they were charlatans, taking this particular act on the road, seducing young men into turning over their life's savings and then devastatingly breaking their hearts before heading for a new mark? I made a garrote from the cord that Apollo had used to hang himself and rather adeptly, if I do say so myself, snapped her little neck. I hung her from a giant willow tree for her partner-in-crime to come upon, along with the police who had been tipped off that he may have done in his paramour.



I reinvented my act and became known as "The Hangstress". I know what you're thinking, but the ringmaster gave me the moniker himself, for my ability to hang in the air in almost any gimmick. To this day, my prized possession is the braided cord necklace I am never without, some might say reminiscent of a hangman's noose, but I say those people lack imagination. Never satisfied stuck in one place or one position - yes, the rumors are true, the passage in "Cell Block Tango" regarding Velma doing 20 acrobatic tricks in a row, including the Number 17: The Spread Eagle, was based on me. You have to be so careful when sharing pillowtalk with a playwright.

I absent-mindedly played my lithe fingers down the cord as we took off, a lovely young man as my seat companion. Arthur was a shy thing, taking a little sugar to get him talking freely, and what a pleasure it was as he had the most delicious Australian accent, and I told him so, earning me a slight blush. Perhaps a slightly deeper one as he relayed he was a ranch worker and his love for horses and I shared that I, too, loved riding bareback.

My heart always had a thing for a hard-working man, even if the rest of me had a thing for things, and by necessity, the kind of men who could afford to lavish them upon me. But I was also a self-made girl, never one to wait around for a man to pull me up by my bootstraps - not that I was averse to that sort of thing especially if he sported an adorable accent - and had made quite the reputation for myself as a world-class hitwoman. It was admittedly hard to rank such things, always lurking in the darkest recesses of the criminal enterprise, but you should know by now that I only do world-class or die trying. Well.. someone dies trying.

When we finally arrived at the resort, I checked in and went over my notes again of my latest target. This one was interesting, my cover given as a winner of a free trip to some beachy playpen for post-pubescents whose brains hadn't received the memo yet. There was nothing overtly wrong with the place, it was your typical milieu of tropical blues & greens and balmy breezes and palm-y trees. I would be sure to partake of the activities, for I always had adhered to the adage that if you find a job you truly love, you will never work a day in your life.

I fished out a new skirt I had purchased on Bora Bora and strapped on some sandals, decolletage that plunged to new depths even as they could still surely excite a man to new heights, and mingled among the tribe. I daresay the most riotous the party got was an inscrutable tete-a-tete between the tattooed blonde and the vampire, dressed in full dominatrix regalia. By comparison, the rest of the evening was just bland enough to convince me to take my observations of my quarry back to bed - along with the pool boy.

Okay people since you're all done and I need to be up at 7am tomorrow I'll announce this round as closed!

Banners for individual rounds will come at the end of R5 so you will all have to bear with me until then

ROUND 2

In a blink of an eye a week passed between afternoons at the pool or beachside, the spa or the gym. Relaxation seemed to be abundant and it could be seen on everyone's faces.

The resort decided to spike people up with a sports tournament, having three competitions in which everyone was free to participate. The first prize for each tournament will be a helicopter tour of the island and evening for two in a secluded villa.

The tournament will be held in an arena-like space and those who don't enter can have privileged view in top of the art seating.

The three sports are:

Friday – 3pm – Swimming
The goal is to swim in the open sea to a red floating mark and back to the shore. The top five participants will then move onto the second part in which they will have to dive in a water tank and retrieve as many golden objects as possible. Winner below.

Saturday – 11am – Tennis Match
It starts with the eliminatory rounds and advances until the finals around  4pm with lunch breaks; winner bellow.

Sunday 10am–  Archery
Just like the tennis match it starts with eliminatory rounds until the best five contestants go for a final round; winner below.

Charas who will enter the tournament:

Swimming- Zack, Juliana, Peter, Andrea
Tennis- Riley, Arthur, Leo, Marco

IMPRESSIONS

These are based on your interactions with the extras so the more you write, the more I have to work with!

click me

Xander- The blonde man searched the area with his camera, flashing at all the lights and smiles and the overall feeling of the party. He was a talker, never had been, but he liked to watch and capture those amazing moments of relaxation and happiness.
A beautiful curled head called his attention and Xander didn't hesitate to snap a photo of the owner of said hair and her smiling face. He enjoyed seeing diversity in people and how that woman didn't bend to the norm and straighten her hair or anything like that. He liked how she kept her hair and makeup natural, it was a nice contrast to the over-produced women he saw around there. He took a few more photos and wondered if he should hand her some of them once he printed them.

Andrea- Boredom. That was the best word to describe her feelings at that reception party. The music wasn't good enough, the drinks weren't strong enough and she knew very few people to actually pull anyone to dance. Andrea sighed as she downed a glass of champagne, wishing it was whisky instead. She gazed over the crowd and her eyes landed on a woman she seen earlier that day, her suite being at the same floor as hers. Although she seemed rather vanilla looking during the day she now looked bolder with the short dress and the long dark legs. Andrea smirked and thought about her boyfriend. He wanted to surprise her with that trip and he certainly had. She wondered if she would surprise him too even if not for the best of reasons. Not that she cared all that much. Her eyes landed on the curly head again and she put down her empty glass, reading to strout to the woman and strike a conversation but just as she did the woman turned her back and walked out of the party.

Optional plot:
(it is by no means necessary to write about this stuff. It's simply a suggestion if you want to develop the charas relationships. If you have no time or interest in this skip it )
Andrea will definitely want to get to know Raven so she will invite her to spend a day at the beach before the tournament. She'll strike a conversation during breakfast. It is Raven's choice to accept or not.
Xander will print the photos and hand a couple to Raven in some afternoon. He might chat a bit but he won't say much about his personal life.

The blonde woman approached the group sitting by the bar and smirked at the man holding a beer.
“Things seem to be fun here. Can I sit?” Andrea asked, not really waiting for an answer as she plopped down next to Zack. He gave her a little glance, his eyes lingering on her clevage but his beer called his attention again. - “What are we talking about here?” She asked amused, her blue eyes shifting over the two less hot guys around her.
“Leo.” One of them smiled, extending a hand which made Andrea laugh. She winked at him and it was enough, he didn't interest her. - “And we were talking about Bat girl.”
“Bat girl?” Andrea's eyes turned to Zack inquiringly, seeing him laugh amused.
“Yeah, you probably saw her around, kinda hard not to actually. Big, white skin, black everything else...”
Andrea smirked again, this time not intended for Zack. She did remember the woman very well. She saw her at the plane, her awesome tattoos called her attention.
“I do remember her. Love her tats.”
“I don't think I saw her tattoos.” The third guy mentioned with furrowed brows.
“That's because she's all covered up here.” Leo replied, taking another sip of his cocktail. He had seen the woman earlier and her tattoos but in his opinion she had a strange sense of style. It didn't make her less beautiful but he wished she didn't try to look so... mean? He didn't even know what word to associate with the general feel she gave.
“Oh such a shame I didn't see more skin then.” Riley laughed, tilting his glass towards Zack in a toast which made Andrea roll her eyes. - “Maybe I'll get to see if she has any other tattoos she doesn't show around and let you guys know.” He added with a grin.
“Bat girl would destroy you.” Andrea told him with a smirk. - “She's far too cool for the likes of you.” She saw Leo laugh, - “And you.” She smiled mischievously. - “But not too cool for me.”
“Don't tell me you're gay.” Zack stared at Andrea with raised brows. Seriously, what was wrong with the world? He had nothing against gay people but the more women turned lesbians the less he had for himself. And it was usually the hot ones too.
“I have a boyfriend you know.” She shrugged. - “But a little fun never hurt nobody.” She smirked again, sipping from her drink.

Optional plot:
(it is by no means necessary to write about this stuff. It's simply a suggestion if you want to develop the charas relationships. If you have no time or interest in this skip it )
Andrea will introduce herself to Diamond and make sure she knows all about her tattoos and their meaning. She'll invite her to hang out at the bar.
Leo will try to see if Diamond (or bat girl as he now learned to call her) has more to her than a mean look. He'll challenge her for a snooker match in the bar.
Riley will try to prove everyone Diamond isn't too cool for him. He'll try to strike a conversation with her some evening and invite her to be amazed by his skills in bed. Diamond is free to react to that in any way she'd like, including trying to kill him (or bed him, anything you'd like).

Thiago- It was too loud of a party for him. Ty tried to walk around the crowd until he managed to find another beer, the only thing keeping him in that place. Well that and the colors that he sorta enjoyed and served as inspiration to paint.
He sighed as he leaned on a quieter spot where he had talked just a few moments ago with Johanna. She seemed less squeaky than before, even if she didn't seem any more comfortable than him. At least they had that in common. Well that and the fact they were sitting side by side at the plane and were roomed in the same floor of the hotel. It seemed like fate was pairing them off without real reason to. She was pretty, he had to admit, he liked her curious gaze and the big blue eyes. She was a talker though but maybe that was good, what was the point of going on that vacation if he didn't get to know anyone new?

Optional plot:
(it is by no means necessary to write about this stuff. It's simply a suggestion if you want to develop the charas relationships. If you have no time or interest in this skip it )
Thiago will start painting on the balcony of his room, which is next to Johanna's so she can see him if she ever goes to her balcony. He might start a conversation with her if he sees her but don't expect him to pour his soul out right away. He will invite her to lunch with him in the poolside though to get to know her a bit more.

click me

Arthur- It was a refreshing sight, seeing people have fun in the party instead of his usual routine of working at the ranch, getting home and take a bath and hop into bed. He did miss his horses though but he could live without them for a few more weeks. Arthur took a sip of his beer before he decided to sit down at a quieter spot. He eyed the crowd and smiled when he saw his flight companion. The older lady always dressed to impress it seemed, even if he thought she was showing a bit too much for someone her age, even if he didn't know exactly how old she was. She was friendly though, or seemed like it as she made him blush with her compliment earlier. It was the only thing that usually attracted women, his accent. Usually they got turned off by his work or his hobbies or his life in general so it was nice that Arabella didn't seem disgusted by him.

Optional plot:
(it is by no means necessary to write about this stuff. It's simply a suggestion if you want to develop the charas relationships. If you have no time or interest in this skip it )
Arthur will find out there is a stable close to the resort for the guests to use so he will invite Arabella for a stroll on horseback and explore a bit of the island without getting too far away from the resort. Other people will be there and they'll have a guide talking about interesting facts of the area.

click me

Leo- The blue eyed man grinned as he watched the woman with curly hair leave the jacuzzi. What was her name again? Allison? Alice? He didn't really memorize it but he knew it was something uncommon. Not that it mattered really, from the curves he saw of her body her name was the least interesting thing. He liked her big eyes even if he couldn't help but wonder if she smoked pot, she definitely had an air of someone who was high. Maybe she was high on life? He didn't know or cared, he simply grinned, loving the first day in that resort.

Peter- To say he was surprised was the understatement of the year. Never would he have thought a girl would wrap her arms around him on his first day in the island. Well not in the first day or any other day for that matter but the fact is Aaliyah did. Sure, to escape another guy but still...
“Hey.” A voice made Pete snap out of his thought while he read the morning paper.
“Oh, it's you.” Yeah he was in trouble. He didn't know why but he was.
“Sorry for yesterday. I think I drank too much.” Riley tried to smile even if he felt a bit embarrased at hitting on a taken girl. Sure he liked to flirt but he wouldn't try to snatch anyone away.
“Oh... It's..okay.” Pete managed to reply, a nervous smile reaching his lips. A brow rose on Riley's face.
“So where's Aaliyah?” he asked as he leaned on the table.
“I don't know.” He bit his tongue then, knowing he had screwed up.
“You don't know?” Riley's face said it all. He took a deep sigh. - “She's not your fiancee is she?”
Peter's lips formed a thin line while he internally cursed at his inability to lie. - “Erm.... no, not really.”
“She's not even your girlfriend.”
“No.. Sorry dude.” Peter felt bad for the guy, sure he seemed pretty desperate yesterday and the girl really looked annoyed and uncomfortable but still...
“It's okay. Guess some are luckier than others.” Riley sighed.
“Maybe if you don't push too hard on people? You know, try to befriend them first.” He smiled at Riley.
“Thanks man. I'll try to do that.” Riley flashed a smile and extended a hand. - “I'm Riley.”
“Peter.”
Both men shook hands and talked for a while. Pete was happy that things didn't explode around him, he liked to find the middle ground between people and if that meant also helping Aaliyah then great.

Xander- The blonde man gazed at his laptop, scrolling through the hundreds of photos he managed to take on his first day there. He lingered longer on those of the people he snapped at the party and found one of Aaliyah after she pulled him into a dance. He wasn't overly fond of those espontaneous actions, he didn't like showing off too much but he had no control then really. At least no one seemed to have paid them much attention, which was a plus, he hated to be the center of attention.
The man stopped scrolling as he found a photo of the girl, walking out of the dance area. He smiled, sending it to print, sure she'd like to have it. She had been so curious to see his work and make him socialize that it was the least he could do. She seemed like a nice girl, maybe a bit too perky and bubbly but that is what he enjoyed in people capturing in people, the different sides of them and he was sure there was another one to Aaliyah.

Optional plot:
(it is by no means necessary to write about this stuff. It's simply a suggestion if you want to develop the charas relationships. If you have no time or interest in this skip it )
Leo will try to mess with Aaliyah at the beach a few days after the party, ending up with him throwing her into the water. Juliana and Andrea will be there too and a splashing fight will begin. Then he'll make the losers pay for snacks since they'll all end up hungry.
Peter wants to tell Aaliyah of his conversation with Riley so he will look for her and apologize for being unable to keep up the lie. He will try to make amends between her and Riley so he'll invite them both for a basketball match outside, together with Arthur.
Xander wants to give his photo to Aaliyah as a thanks for spending some time with him. He'll ask her to tag along as he goes out exploring the beach and photograph the cliff and a cave beneath it. Aside from some crabs and bats it will be pretty safe.

Riley&Leo- Riley bit his lower lip and tilted his head as he watched the redhead dance in that really really short dress. Wow she knew how to make any men's head turn.
A strong pat on his back (more like a punch actually) made his head straighten up and turn to a grinning man.
"What the hell man, you nearly broke my back!"
"Stop being a sissy and oogle at the pyjama girl."
"Huh? Pyjama girl?" Riley's head turned again to the redhead. Yes her dress was light pink but it didn't look as pyjamas. If they were, it was a damn sexy pyjama.
"That one..." Leo pointed a finger at the hot girl, - "...was wearing pyjamas on the plane. Don't tell you didn't notice."
"I was too busy looking at all the hot chicks." Riley grinned again, making Leo shake his head.
"And that my friend is why you're single." He gave another pat on Riley's shoulder, this time softer.
"Yeah like you're married or something."
Leo chuckled, not even bothering to answer him but instead took a good look at the girl and her long legs. Yes she was definitely hot and had a pretty face, but she was completely wasted. She'd be an easy prey and he didn't really like to get things that way. He kept an eye on Riley though because he was sure the other man wasn't as honorable as he.

Arthur- He was tired, he had to admit that. The flight took forever to get to the island and after a whole day trying to explore the spot now that party was becoming a bit too much for him. He liked to sleep early and get an early rise too. He figured that wouldn't happen there.
He took a sip of his bottle of water and managed to avoid just in time a dancing couple that nearly bumped him. He couldn't avoid though bumping into a pretty redhead. When she apologized he smiled, even if it faded the next second seeing just how drunk she was.
She didn't give him much attention as she leaned down on the buffet table to get another drink and Arthur had to look away because she was showing far too much. He sighed. He remembered seeing the woman at the hotel, her room was in the same floor as his so he couldn't shake the feeling that she was too exposed like that. With the hungry eyes of men around that party he feared something could happen. He watched her get another drink and try to move back to the dancefloor but as she stumbled Arthur managed to get a hold of her.
"Hey there... maybe you'd like a sip of this instead?" He waved his bottle of water and saw a confused look on the woman's face.
"What is...that? Water?" Her horrified tone made Arthur chuckle as he tried to steady her.
"No, this is the best vodka around, I just keep it in this bottle so people won't bug me to have it."
"ohhhh, I want it then!" She grinned and Arthur did think she had a pretty smile, even if the drunk breath that came from that smile ruined the whole thing.
She chugged down the water and didn't even react to the fact it had no alcohol in it.
"This vodka sucks, tastes like water." She grunted.
"It will get better as you drink it."
"Promise?"
"Promise." Arthur smiled, and the woman did too before sipping from the water again.
"Shouldn't you go to bed or something? Tomorrow you'll probably regret this."
"Whoa there! It isn't that easy to take me to bed!" She grinned, winking at him, - "At least flirt with me a little!" She chuckled as Arthur did too.
"Ok you got that wrong" he tried to explain but she put a finger over his lips to shut him up and went to dance.
Of course an hour later she was nearly passing out so Arthur lifted her up and took her to her room. When he put her down on the bed and saw her ready to take off her clothes with him there he knew it was time to leave. As he left he saw some pamphlets by the door and her name. Cara. He smiled.

(it is by no means necessary to write about this stuff. It's simply a suggestion if you want to develop the charas relationships. If you have no time or interest in this skip it )
Riley will join Cara for lunch at the restaurant and talk about her dance moves and how pretty she is. He'll then invite her to the beach just so he can see her in a bikini;
Leo will try to tease Cara with her pyjamas a few days after the reception party, throwing in a flirty line or two before Riley shows up and glues himself to the conversation, knowing Leo is far more popular than him with women. They'll both end up playing basketball and will invite Cara to join.
Arthur will chat up with Cara the day after the party to make sure she's okay and nothing bad happened. He'll invite her to lunch at the poolside to know her a bit better.

Zack- She didn't like whiskey. Zack chuckled to himself as he watched Cressida walk away from him. "Well she'll just have to start liking" he whispers and he finished yet another glass of 20yo whiskey. He liked her mischievous smirk and her curves. He liked the way she seemed interested in him but not too easy. Hell who was he kidding, he liked pretty much everything even if she dressed a bit too much like a teenager for his taste. There was no harm in showing some assets like he did. It saved people time and showed confidence. But Cressida did seem pretty confident even if she didn't show much skin.
He wanted to know her better and know her better. He grinned, ordering another drink as he saw Andrea approach.

Marco- The man smiled, taking off his shirt as soon as he got to his suite and walked to the balcony, taking in the amazing sight. He saw the woman responsible for wetting his shirt exploring the pool area and couldn't help but chuckle. Cressida was her name if he remembered correctly. She seemed nice even if a workaholic. He couldn't blame her though, many people were these days and he didn't think he was a workaholic simply because he loved his job. He just wondered if a woman who owns a wedding dress shop wouldn't want to get down and serious herself but he shook those thoughts away, he didn't know her enough to assume anything. He watched her approach the pool bar so he turned and grabbed his swimming shorts. She did have the right idea, exploring the place was needed even if he also needed some sleep but heh, he had time to sleep later.

Leo- Leo couldn't help but shake his head as he watched Cressida talk to Zack. That man knew his moves which sort of pissed him off. But at the same time it was a nice challenge and he did like challenges even if he didn't think Cressida was one. She seemed nice and proper and she even blushed when she met him which is a reaction he does like (or his ego rather). She had beautiful eyes and he did like the fact that she didn't have to show a lot of skin to still be able to look sexy. He definitely wouldn't mind getting to know her better, won't mind at all.

Optional plot:
(it is by no means necessary to write about this stuff. It's simply a suggestion if you want to develop the charas relationships. If you have no time or interest in this skip it )
Zack is determined to make Cressida acquire the taste of whiskey so he will invite her to the bar after dinner a few days after the reception party and challenge her to a snooker match. He wants to see her bend on the table and make sure he wins.
Marco wants to explore the proximity of the island so he will invite Cressida to tag along a day after the reception party. He will have a book talking about Caribbean fauna and flora and a camera to make sure he captured all those moments.
Leo wants to get to know Cressida better so he will ask her to join him in the jacuzzi one afternoon and talk about themselves over a glass of champagne. He will flirt because he's a flirt but he will hold a nice serious conversation too with a few jokes here and there.

Week of fun

Water fun|| Leo, Andrea, Juliana

Aaliyah was sunbathing with a delicious cocktail. The days were so relaxing, having worked for years underground subway this much sun was heaving.
Aaliyah closed her eyes to capture the moment when a shadow loomed over her. She opened her eyes to see a smiling Leo looking down on her.

“Already taking a swim?” Leo asks her.

“No not really like the sun at the moment more,” Aaliyah replied taking a sip of her drink.

The smile that Leo gave Aaliyah wasn’t a pleasant one more like a mischievous one before Aaliyah knew it she was in his arms.

“Leo, what are you doing?” Aaliyah gasped when she was in his strong arms.

“Taking you for a swim,” Leo replied still smirking.

“Leo! No I don’t want to,” Aaliyah replied but he didn’t mind her much just start walking faster.

“I know that’s what makes it so fun,” Leo replied.

Before Aaliyah could even reply she was in the cold water gasping for air.

“You, You, You,” Aaliyah said when she got out of the water and had enough air.

“Me what?” instead of answering Aaliyah tried to grab his head and push him underwater.

It wasn’t working and Leo was laughing non-stop till someone came from behind and pushed him under.

Aaliyah had to laugh at Jules face that was the embodiment of childish.

“We came to help you,” Aaliyah turned around and hugged Andrea.

“My saviors,” Aaliyah said laughing when Jules finally released Leo.

“What did I tell you about the touché, touché Ali,” Aaliyah just hugged her tighter and before they knew it they were pushed into the water by Jules.

“Who said I came to save her I came for the fun,” Jules said to justify what she just had done.

“You!” Aaliyah and Andrea said at the same time before jumping on her.

Before not too long all four were pushing each other under water or simply throwing water on one and other. It was so much fun, in the end, Aaliyah lost being the one that was running away more than trying to throw or push another under water.

Due to Leo that stated who had lost had to pay for dinner, Aaliyah had to be the one. She hadn’t mind the day had been the best any ways.

Jules invited Aaliyah and Andrea later that night for a sleepover. Leo wanted to come too but Jules told him only girls which Aaliyah though was funny especially when Leo started to complain about men rights. Which Jules replied to gay rights. Both Andrea and Aaliyah couldn’t hold their laughter when Leo’s mouth fell open.

Sleepover fun|| Andrea, Juliana, Diamond

Later that night Aaliyah knocked on Jules door.

“You look amazing,” Jules looked Aaliyah up and down.

“Jules, stop flirting this old thing is not even cute let along sexy,” Jules smiled.

“What about thank you, Jules and a kiss,” Aaliyah grinned.

“Thank you, Jules, and get that kiss out of your head,” Jules' face fell.

“Your such a spoil-sport,” Aaliyah laughed at that.

“Come on in,” Jules stepped aside to let Aaliyah in.

“Where’s Andrea?” Aaliyah asked looking around in Jules suit.

“Not here yet,” Aaliyah nodded and sat on Jules bed.

They chatted over what they could do together up coming weeks, Aaliyah was totally up for paragliding but she wasn’t sure if it was possible on the island on the other hand diving seemed cool as hell but Jules found that a little too boring, so climbing they would be doing soon.

And then the bell went. Aaliyah opened the door while still chatting with Jules about their plans.

“I want to go to!” Aaliyah turned around and saw Andrea smiling.

“You took your time,” Aaliyah told her.

“Yes I had to convince her to come,’ Aaliyah looked at Andrea puzzled.

Then a woman in black came behind her, she had so much black on but somehow Aaliyah liked it, it gave her something mysteriously.

“Diamond this is my friend Aaliyah,” Andrea pointed at Aaliyah at Aaliyah smiled at her.

“Ali, Diamond,” Aaliyah held out her hand which the woman took.

“Come on in,” Aaliyah opened the door wider after all.

“Who is this?” Jules asked as soon as all three girls were in her room.

“Diamond, my friend,” Andrea said but she was looking Diamond up and down lustfully Aaliyah chuckled.

“We are so much the Bratz,” Aaliyah thought to herself or she thought because all girls looked at her crazy.

“You mean those dolls?” Jules asked and Aaliyah nodded.

“I loved them when I was little,” Andrea replied.

“Why not put the movie on?” Diamond looked thoughtful.

“Fine I think I got my laptop somewhere,” Jules replied.

“I will get the popcorn,” Aaliyah replied.

When everything was ready the movie started all the girls were laughing and giving comments during the movie when it came to an end Aaliyah felt happy to have made friends so fast she used to think it was so hard.

“I am a total Yasmin,” Aaliyah said after the movie.

“Then I am a total Cloe,” Andrea replied fist-pumping Aaliyah.

“and I am?” Diamond asked.

“Jade! You got the fashion girl,” Aaliyah replied laughing.

“I always had a thing for Sasha,” Jules said grinning.

“Now that we are talking about having a thing for someone any ways,” Andrea had a mischievous face.

“What?” Aaliyah asked when Andrea kept a dramatic pause.

“Who are you digging on this vacation?” Andrea finished.

“I think Riley is cute,”

“Annoying!” Andrea replied.
“I second that,” Aaliyah replied, Jules just nodded.

“I like the blond-haired photographer,” Aaliyah blushed while saying that.

“Awe aren’t you cute too,” Jules said teasingly and Aaliyah pushed her from the bed which Jules replied with throwing her pillow at her face all girls burst out in laughter at Aaliyah’s confused face before she herself started to laugh.

“I think the red-headed know it all is hot with fewer clothes,” Jules replied with a faraway look in her face.

“Jules! don’t think about her naked,” Aaliyah reprimands her.

“What do you know?” Jules replied huffing.

“Guys get that face when they are horny,” Diamond replied and Aaliyah nodded Andrea chuckled.

“I am already taken but I so dig Raven even her name is sexy,” Andrea got the same face and Aaliyah was this time to throw in her pillow.

“Gross those faces,” Aaliyah commented.

“Aaliyah!” Andrea grabbed a pillow already to attack.

Sooner than later the whole room was a pillow fight and tickle fight who ever got their hands on the other would be tickled it was a long time and when the girls finally fell asleep they were tangled in each other like they really had become four best-friends.

Ball fun|| Peter, Arthur, Riley

Aaliyah was eating her lovely breakfast some days later when she got interrupted by Peter.

“Aaliyah, I am so, so sorry,” Peter looked so remorseful Aaliyah frowned up at him.

“Come sit down,” After Peter had sat down Aaliyah took a bit and moaned before swallowing, Peter was blushing but Aaliyah was more worried about why he looked so remorseful.

“So tell me what’s going on?” Aaliyah asked him.

“I am a bad liar...” He cut his sentence maybe not knowing how to break the news.

“And?” Aaliyah asked to encourage him.

“I told Riley the truth about us,” Aaliyah smiled.

“No worries Peter I actually like my man honest,” Aaliyah takes her last bite of her food and almost had an orgasm.

“So you're not mad?” Peter asks carefully.

“Of course not Peter, Riley would have found out the truth sooner or later, I am really thankful you wanted to play alone that day, even though I didn’t give you much of a choice, so thanks, Peter,” Aaliyah kisses his cheek.

“See you later, Peter,” Peter looks dazed for a second before standing up and following Aaliyah.

“Wait up, Aaliyah,” Peter grabbed Aaliyah's arm softly making her turn around.

“What’s the matter?” Aaliyah asked him.

“Would you like to play ball with Riley, Arthur and me,” Peter asks carefully once again Aaliyah kinda loved that about him the caringness he shows with whatever he does.

“Sure,” Aaliyah replied nodding

“Really,” Peter asked with a smile.

“Yes, let me change clothes see you on the court,” Aaliyah walked to her room after that to change.

20 minutes later she was on the court and so were the boys.

“Hello,” Aaliyah greeted them all.

“Hey Aaliyah,” Arthur greeted back and Peter grabbed him to walk to the next basketball pole which made the team obviously.

“Hey, fake fiancé,” Riley sounded sour.

“Ah Riley, don’t be mad,” Aaliyah replied with a small smile.

“I am not,” saying that with a pout who was he kidding.

“Try to say that without a pout,” Aaliyah replied, therefore.

“You could have just told me you weren’t interested,” Aaliyah looked at him not believing those words.

“All right, All right, I would have kept hitting on you,” Aaliyah laughed.

“I will be on your team if you stop hitting on me,” Aaliyah replied when she saw a small smile on his face too.

“All right deal and Aaliyah,” Riley replied.

“Hmmm,” Aaliyah asked.

“I am sorry,” Riley replied scratching his neck.

“It’s okay already forgotten,” While saying that Aaliyah winked at Peter knowing that this was properly his idea.

Peter just smiled but Aaliyah could see his cheeks were tainting red.

The game was fun Aaliyah wasn’t afraid to use her femininity or act like she was a klutz’s and because Riley was also good in the game, they won easily. Afterwards, they all went for a drink and like promise Riley didn’t flirt much which Aaliyah appreciated. Aaliyah would never say it out loud but Riley could be the sweetest when his mouth was shut that is.

Photography fun|| Xander

“This is for you, Aaliyah,”  Aaliyah looked up from the window to see the blond guy she has a crush on.
“Oh, how pretty, thank you,” Aaliyah looked at the picture it was taken when she was just leaving the dance area the photo had so much of life.

It really took Aaliyah’s breath away.

“I never got your name,” Aaliyah said but her eyes were glued to the picture.

“Xander,” Aaliyah looked up at that.

“Beautiful,” She replied with a smile.

“Yes, you really are,” Aaliyah’s looked at him surprised.

“I am going to take pictures of the environment would you like to come along?” Xander asked her.

Aaliyah was in a glee.

“I would love to accomplice you,” Aaliyah stood up.

“Let’s go!” Aaliyah warped her arms around his and pulled him along.

They walked around the beach Aaliyah and Xander were chatting, While Xander didn’t take pictures at all. Let’s rephrase that Aaliyah was chatting along while Xander was listening he didn’t take many pictures of the beach however the cliff was a different story. Aaliyah went quieter with each picture he was taking like she was feeling that he liked silence when he was taking pictures. Aaliyah thought she would have hated it to be quiet for so long but it had something extremely relaxing to just sit and watch someone work so delectable. After he was done they went to the cave. Aaliyah found it beautiful while Xander was taking pictures Aaliyah found a water in the cave a little further when dipping her toe in the water she grinned it was so warm. While she didn’t have a bikini with her she thought her lingerie would have to do because she would get into the water. And that’s exactly what she did.
While swimming around Xander found her.
“Come on in Xander is delicious,” Aaliyah said encouraging him.

“I don’t have a swim trunk,” Xander replied.

“Me neither,” Aaliyah responded gesturing for him to come in the water.

It was quiet for a moment.

“Pretty please come in,” Aaliyah said with a tiny voice and big eyes it always helped and it was better than pouting.

“What if someone comes in,” Xander replied crossing his arms.

“No one will come is secluded,” Aaliyah replied swimming closer to the edge.

“I really don’t think is a good idea,” Xander was resolute but so was Aaliyah.

“It’s all right if you don’t like fun things but I bet you do,” Aaliyah walked out of the water to him pulling him along.

“Aaliyah,” Xander said.

“Dress out or get wet,” Aaliyah whispered in his ear before pulling him further.

Xander signed and dressed out of his clothes before getting in the water with her.

“You were right this water is delicious,” Aaliyah just smiled at that.

She knew he properly didn’t like this spontaneous this but it may lose him up more and Aaliyah wanted to know more.

Three days of Tournaments

Friday, Saturday, Sunday

Swim into the deep|| Andrea, Juliana, Diamond

The first day of the tournament Aaliyah was kind of a cheerleader for Andrea, Diamond, and Jules, she couldn’t choose for which she should shoot so she did for all, It was kind of funny that who ever was the first runner she would scream harder she was sad that none of her friends won but she did congrats all three of them for doing their best and being awesome.

Jules then persuading Aaliyah to play in the last game which Aaliyah later learns is Archery. Which was cool and all but the last time she holds an Archery she was 15 and promised herself never too tough the sport ever again, it really was a sport for the rich.

But she still signed in and hoped she wouldn’t embarrass herself. She had a drink with all three of the girls and saw that some guys would be playing tennis the next day which would be cool to watch for sure.

Hitting the ball|| Arthur, Riley, Leo

The next day due to Jules Aaliyah got to the game too late they had been drinking cocktails and chatting forgetting the whole tournament but she still had time to cheer on Arthur and Riley. Arthur had the greatest leaders. He moved with grace Aaliyah saw but it didn’t tempt her fun in cheering for both Riley and Arthur.

When Arthur one, Riley was a big sour loser and Aaliyah hated to see him like that, to be honest, she rather saw him smiling.

The last match between Leo and Arthur was nice to watch Aaliyah got really pulled into the game forgetting to cheer either on completely. While Arthur played with grace Leo was more like an intense player.

The game finally finished with a 7-6 in the last round for Arthur but it had been a close one for sure it was either’s game so the standing ovation they received was well-deserved.

It ended in a little party at the bar with games that went too far for this site.

Aaliyah was slightly nervous for the next day but she would do her best.

Bulls eye|| Leo, Andrea, Juliana, Xander

“Good luck, Aaliyah,” Aaliyah looked up to see Leo.

“Finally got my name right I see,” Aaliyah had enough of hearing Alison, Amber and her personal favorite Alisha.

“Yeah, can’t keep calling you beautiful,” Leo replied not seemingly being uncomfortable or even guilty at all.

“Why not? I liked the name,” Aaliyah replied with a wink and walked to her shooting stand.

“Whatever you say Beautifuuuuuul,” Aaliyah laughed at that.

Aaliyah breathe in and focused on the stand she really hadn’t done this in a long time but her stand came natural, maybe it was just like riding a bike you never forgot how to do it.

The first Arrow was a miss because she thought the stand was further away after changing how she stood it was double in a row. She was happy she went to the next round just like Andrea and Jules.

“You are doing great,” Andrea commented.

“So do you too,” Aaliyah replied with a smile.

Jules was kind of mediating because she was quiet while Andrea and Aaliyah talked there nervous out of their system.
After the break, Aaliyah missed the first, two shoots because again she miscalculated the stand and where it stood but the last three were in the rose.

“You were great,” Aaliyah heard a familiar voice say.

Aaliyah looked up from her shoot and released her breath.

“Thank you, Xander,” Aaliyah knew she couldn’t win anymore since she missed two of the five but it was fun.

‘I wanted to invite you to the bonfire,”

“Aren’t you going to be scared of my spontaneous behavior,” Aaliyah asked teasingly.

“Now that you are saying that, Your right, never mind me asking,” Xander replied turning around.

Aaliyah grabbed his arm and he turned back around.

“No way you asked already,” Aaliyah smiled at his small smile.

“My answer is yes would love to go with you to the bonfire,” Aaliyah continued.

“Good,” Xander made a picture of Aaliyah and walked off.

After all their shoots Leo came out as the winner every one was happy for him seeing that he rocket all the tournaments games. Every body went to their room’s to change for the night away or for the bonfire.

Aaliyah couldn’t choose what to wear for the night. Something simple yet sexy she went with even though her top was so deep she hoped the necklace would help keep their eyes on hers.

After a quick shower and hair drying, her hair, she dressed up and waited for Xander she didn’t have to wait a lot.

“Were you waiting long,” Xander asked when Aaliyah opened the door for him.

“No, just finished dressing up myself,” Aaliyah replied stepping outside.

“Good, You look great,” Aaliyah smiled.

“So do you, mister,” Aaliyah replied looking him up and down the jeans and simple with button up suited him.

He held out his hand for her.

“You ready?” Aaliyah took her hand.

“For you always,” They both smiled at each other and walked together to the bonfire.

Fire for the losers

Bonfire

Teasing|| Peter& Riley

“You are a sour loser,” Aaliyah told Riley who was complaining that he wanted to be in a villa with a hot girl right about now.

“You are mean,” Riley replied with a pout.

“Stop pouting,” Aaliyah replied rolling her eyes.

“Peter, tell your fiancé something!” Riley said turning to Peter who had been looking at the black ocean.

‘”I don’t have a fiancé, Riley and Aaliyah stop teasing him,” Aaliyah just grinned.

“Did you really just complain about me little Riley,” Aaliyah said chuckling.

“If you don’t stop I will start flirting with you,” Riley threaten it was hilariously threat though.

“I don’t flirt with boys,” Aaliyah replied taking a bite of her meat.

She had lost Xander among the bonfire but she was enjoying herself like always.

“Peter!” Riley whined seriously.

“I don’t know what worst you to ignoring each other or acting like siblings,” Peter replied signing.

“Your okay Peter?” Aaliyah asked worried putting her hand on his head.

Peter put his hand over hers.

“I am fine Aaliyah really,” Peter gave her a weak smile and so did Aaliyah.

“He is homesick,” Riley replied taking a sip from his drink.

“Really, where are you from Peter tell me about it,” Aaliyah replied sitting closer to Peter.

“She means us,” Riley replied and Aaliyah rolled her eyes once again.

Peter talked about his past, how it was growing up, how he missed home he was far away.

Aaliyah smiled because with her it was the opposite she would hate to go home any time of the day.

But his stories were intriguing Aaliyah would love to meet his twin. Just when he was about to finish his story he got interrupted.

“I need your voice, Aaliyah!” Aaliyah looked up to Andrea.

“I don’t sing,” Aaliyah replied shaking her head.

“To bad today you will,” With her guitar in one hand and Aaliyah in the other Andrea search for a place they could perform.

Singing|| Andrea

“You ready?” Andre asked when she found a place.

“No!” Aaliyah replied.

But Andrea already started to play on her guitar, Aaliyah recognized it immediately.

Song

“If this is to end in fire,” Aaliyah started softly when Andrea nodded to her.
“Then we should all burn together
Watch the flames climb high into the night,” Andrea sand the background song.
“Calling out for the rope, sent by and we will
Watch the flames burn on and on the mountain side hey,” Aaliyah was actually getting less and less nervous.

“And if we should die tonight
Then we should all die together
Raise a glass of wine for the last time,” She smiled at Andrea.
“Calling out for the rope,”
“Prepare as we will
Watch the flames burn on and on the mountain side
Desolation comes upon the sky,”

“Now I see fire, inside the mountain
I see fire, burning the trees
And I see fire, hollowing souls,” Aaliyah closed her eyes to savor the song.
“And I see fire, blood in the breeze
And I hope that you'll remember me,” thinking about her grandpa the song fell open.

“Oh, should my people fall
Then surely I'll do the same
Confined in mountain halls,”
“We got too close to the flame,” Aaliyah thought about how it will feel like to be close to flames.

“Calling out father hold fast and we will
Watch the flames burn on and on the mountain side
Desolation comes upon the sky,”
“Now I see fire, inside the mountain,”

“I see fire, burning the trees
And I see fire, hollowing souls
And I see fire, blood in the breeze
And I hope that you'll remember me,” At this point, she started to love the chorus.

“And if the night is burning
I will cover my eyes
For if the dark returns then
My brothers will die,”
“And as the sky's falling down
It crashed into this lonely town,” Aaliyah knew that sometimes she did feel lonely.
“And with that shadow upon the ground
I hear my people screaming out,”

“Now I see fire, inside the mountain
I see fire, burning the trees,”
“And I see fire, hollowing souls
And I see fire, blood in the breeze,” Here she went higher in voice emotion getting higher.

“I see fire, oh you know I saw a city burning (fire)
And I see fire, feel the heat upon my skin (fire),”
“And I see fire (fire)
And I see fire (burn on and on and mountains side),”

When Andrea finished the last note and winked at Aaliyah, Aaliyah laughed.

It was quiet for just a second before the people started to clap.

“Found you,” Aaliyah turned around to see Xander.

Smiling|| Xander

“That was amazing,” Aaliyah smiled at Xander.

“Thank you was so nervous,” Xander grabbed her hand.

“Let’s go somewhere quieter,” Aaliyah nodded at that.

“you're not going to kill me right,” Xander laughed.

“No, I may kidnap you, however,” Xander replied with a hint of amusement.

“If it’s to your room I won’t mind,” Aaliyah replied with a flirty tone.

“Will keep that in mind,” Xander replied with a laugh.

It was the first time Aaliyah heard it and she liked it.

They walked along the beach, listening to the waves softly neither wanting to break the silence,

“I like quiet nights,” Xander said after some more silent.

“Really yet you went to two parties that were held in the night,” Aaliyah replied.

“That is correct,” Xander replied with a smile.

“Your turn,” Aaliyah looked at him thought about it before saying.

“I cry at horror movies always,” Xander stopped walking which halted Aaliyah too since they were holding hands.

“Are you serious?” Xander asked.

”Yes, I hate when people die,” Aaliyah replied.

”So you prefer romantic movies,” Xander asked.

”No more the action kind of girl,” Aaliyah replied.

”People die in there too,” Xander replied.

”Yes but they die while fighting a really good guy or girl so that’s cool,” Aaliyah replied seriously.

”You are weird,” Aaliyah smiled at that she was at least not ordinary.

”Your turn Xander,” Aaliyah replied.

”I only like late coffee,” Xander said

”With a lot of sugar?” Aaliyah asked.

”Yeah,” Xander replied

”That’s really like drinking the universe full of stars,” Aaliyah replied with a smirk up to him.

”You really are weird,” Xander replied laughing.

They kept going with the game till the sun came up.

“So beautiful,” Aaliyah said and Xander smiled.

“I forgot my camera want to do this again,” Xander asked Aaliyah.

Aaliyah looked at him smiled and nodded.

“I would really like that,” Aaliyah replied.

Tuesday:

Tap tap tap.

My eyes flick open, but quickly close again as pain surges through my head, and I feel my face scrunch up. After a little while the pain reduces, and I open my eyes once more. I appear to be in my bed, but I don't remember going to bed the night before.

Tap tap tap.

It suddenly dawns on me that the knocking is coming from the other side of my door. If it wasn't hurting my head every time the knuckle touched the door I would just roll over and go back to sleep. But instead, I get up.

I'm about to open the door, when I catch a sight of myself in the mirror. I'm completely naked. Some people may question my morals, but even I wouldn't answer the door stark naked.

I open the door and poke my head around it, surprised to a boy with longish hair standing in front of me.
"Oh thank goodness, you're okay. When you didn't answer I was ready to call reception." Confusion is probably on my face, as the man gives a low chuckle. "You don't remember do you."
"Remember what?"
"Last night."
"Ermmmmmmmmm"
"That's a no." He laughs again, and for some reason I can't help but laugh too.
"I know my head kills, but that's about it."
"I'm not surprised."
"Why?" My voice rises as I ask the question. "Did something happen?"
"You could say that..."
"Well why don't you come in and tell me then."
The boy looks reluctant for a moment, but then nods. "Okay."
His foot makes it into the room but I stop him. "WAIT! You can't come in." He looks alarmed.
"Why not?"
"Ermmmm, I'm a tad naked..."
His eyes fall to the ground and his cheeks blush. "Oh."
Silence falls in the doorway, rather awkwardly. But then he spoke again. "Maybe I could tell you about it all over lunch?"
I don't even know who this boy is, but I felt intrigued by him. "Sure, why not."
"Great, let's say 1 at the pool?"
"Sure, sounds good."

He nods again and begins to walk away, but then quickly turns back.
"Please wear some clothes."
I can't help but smile as I shut the door.

* * * * * * * * * *



"Arthur."
"Huh?" I bring my heads out of my hands and stare at the person in front of me.
"My name, it's Arthur."
"Oh right." The information I've just heard is too much and my head feels fuzzy. "I'm Cara."
"Yeah, I know."
"How?"
"I saw your name last night when I took you back you your room."
"Oh yeah. Maaaaaaaaaaaaan that was so embarrassing."
His hand rests on my arm. "Hey it's okay, I don't mind. I just didn't want to see anything happen to you."
"Awww, thanks." Our eyes meet, as do our smiles.


Wednesday:



"Heeeeeeeey baaaaaaaby"

Looking up from my ice cream, I see a boy has slid over onto the seat opposite me. I drop my spoon and look at him blankly.
"And you are?" My tone is harsh as I'm pissed he interrupted my dessert.
"Riley Thorn"
I give him a fake smile, "Cara."
"No you're not."
"Huh?" Confusion falls upon my face. "I'm pretty sure I know my own name."
"Well that's funny, because I thought your name was Sexy Dancer From The Party"
I can't help but cringe. Everything keeps coming back to the other night, which was honestly one of the lowest points of my life. This is why I don't go out without my girls; they always keep an eye on me.
"Well then I guess you're actually Creepy!"

I stand up ready to leave but his hands reach up and grab mine. "I'm sorry baby, that was uncool. It's just when I saw you the other night, I felt my unloved heart beat in time with your pretty one. And I know you must have a pretty heart, how could you not with a beautiful face like yours."
I'm suddenly aware that I'm sitting down, and Riley's hands are cupping my face. I lean back but remain seated, suddenly finding this creepy dude a little bit attractive.
"How about you and I head down to the beach later today. We could" he pauses, leaning closer towards me, "get to know each other better."
I mirror his movement and lean in closer, whispering in his ear. "Is that so you can see me in a bikini?"
He pulls back, shrugging light heartedly. Rolling my eyes, I shake my head. "No chance." I may be stupid, but even I'm not stupid enough to get involved with pervs - no matter how good looking they may be.

I stand up, and this time he lets me. Looking at his now saddened eyes I can't help but feel a little guilty; this guy clearly wants me. As I walk past I can't help but whisper in his ear; "I'm taking part in the swimming competition though."

Riley reaches across for the rest of my dessert, a smile now spread across his face.


Thursday:



"Hey pyjama girl!"
"Leeeoooo why do you keep calling me that?"
"Who was the one wearing pyjamas on the flight?"
"Me..."
"Exactly."
"As I've told you a million times, I woke up late and didn't have time to change!"
Leo gives a low chuckle, "I know I know, but it won't stop me calling you my pyjama girl"
"Your pyjama girl?" But before he can answer any further a ball comes flying over, hitting Leo on the shoulder. We both simultaneously turn in the direction the ball came from, finding Riley jogging over to us.

"Hey, watch it man!" Leo shouts, chucking the basketball back at Riley.
He catches it effortlessly, a devilish smile on his face. "Ha ha, sorry. Just wondering if you fancy a little game?" He stops beside me and places his arm over my shoulders. Leo stares at his arm for a moment, before locking eyes with the intruder.
"Sure. Cara and I versus you?"
"Nahh I think you'll find Cara's on my team." Riley responds, tightening his grip.
"Sorry to break it to you pal, but Cara and I were already in the middle of something before you interrupted, so she'll be on my team."
"Yeah buuuuuut it was me who suggesting playing."
"Cara is here you know!" I say, almost shouting. I don't like the way their arguing over me.
They both look at me, and Leo speaks. "Sorry Cara, who's team do you want to be on?"
"Who says I want to be on anyone's team?"
Riley laughs. "Oh bless, she doesn't even know how you play. Baby, there are only two teams in basketball."
"I know baby." I say, mimicking his sarcastic tone. I quickly reach out and smack the ball out of his hand, running off once I have it in my grasp. "But I know I can destroy you both."

Leo and Riley look at each other and shrug, before Leo pounces towards me. And whilst he does that, I hear Riley quietly mutter "I wouldn't mind you destroying me."


Friday:



I can't actually swim.

As I stand with my toes dipping in the water that's the only thought going through my mind. I'd only entered the competition because I don't like barbecues, so thought it'd be worth trying to win the dinner. But now I'm slightly regretting it. All of the other competitors look so serious, and then there's me with my goggles and rubber ring. I know people are laughing, but as I catch a glance at Riley he has a friendly smile on his face - at least that's what I think it is.

Suddenly everyone else is running into the sea and beginning to swim. Realising I'm the only one still standing there I follow, determined not to be last. I don't even know what happens, I'm just kicking my legs and moving my arms about, silently praying that I don't drown. I don't know why, it's not like I'm religious or anything.

I eventually make it to the red floaty thing, and I can't see anyone else. In an attempt to spin around I nearly choke on the splashes my arms have created, but I keep 'swimming'. Every part of my body hurts but with the beach getting closer and closer I kept going. When I drag myself out onto the sand I take a huge gasp of air and roll onto my back. Raising my head a little I look back out into the ocean, and see 4 people still swimming.

I'd actually come 2nd!

* * * * * * * * * *

Apparently I can't use my ring for this next challenge otherwise I won't sink to the bottom of the tank. Although if I'm honest, I'm not really sure I want to.

When I'm told to I jump in, feeling water splash everywhere. My body sinks to the bottom and my goggles steam up almost instantly, leaving me completely blind. My fingers scramble around, picking up every object they brush against. When my lungs feel like they're about to explode I push myself up and break through the water. Someone collects the gold things off me.

By some miracle I got 8.


Saturday:

I can't play tennis either. I used to play it in primary school but I don't think that really counts. Still, after my awful attempt at swimming yesterday I'm determined not to go to the barbecue. Plus, I'm excited that Arthur and Leo are taking part.

Considering there are only 5 of us in the first place, I'm a little sad to see my first match is against some random guy called Marco. I've not even heard of him, let alone seen him.

This should be interesting.

* * * * * * * * * *



I'm currently sat in the first aid room, having my nose sorted out. It turns out Marco is actually a pretty hench guy who clearly enjoys working out. All it took was his serving shot to take me out; despite me waving the racket around the ball smacked me on the nose, sending me to the ground. Blood was everywhere, it wasn't a pretty sight.

Now I've got a bandage on my nose I'm vowing never to play tennis again.

My phone buzzes, and when I reach across to look at it I find a text from the resort. 'Congratulations, you have won the swimming competition! You and a lucky partner have won a helicopter ride of the island, a delicious meal for 2 and a night in our secluded villa!' OH MY GOSH I'D ACTUALLY WON!!!!!!! I honestly did not see that coming. Omg I'm proper buzzing.

Once he's done playing tennis I'm going to invite Arthur to come with me. It's the least I can do after what he did for me.

* * * * * * * * * *

I can't ask Arthur to go with me. He won the tennis competition, meaning he gets his own prize. Don't get me wrong, I'm really happy he won. But I'm kinda sad he can't come with me.

Maybe our villas will be secluded together.


Sunday:



It might not surprise you, but I've never done archery either.

I was only allowed to shoot one arrow because I semi got banned, but it wasn't really my fault. I was too busy thinking about asking Leo to join me at the villa when it was my turn; my brain can't think about too many things at once so it's completely understandably that my arrow went a teeny tiny bit off course and almost hit the judge. Apparently that was a bit dangerous and I wasn't allowed to carry on shooting.

It was all for nothing anyway, I can't ask Leo to join me because he won the stupid archery. So guess who I've asked instead.

Riley.

I didn't particularly want to go with him because quite frankly he's a little bit creepy, but he can be alright sometimes. Besides, it was better than going alone.

The helicopter ride was amazing, I don't think I've ever seen so many beautiful things in my life. To which Riley said none of it's as beautiful as me. He didn't say anything, but I could tell he was actually panicking quite a lot as we flew so I let him hold my hand whilst we were up there.

I made a bold move to invite Arthur to join us in our villa for dinner, but he declined, saying he just wanted some alone time. My heart sank a little; I'd want to get to know him more. Although, maybe it's just as well; I hate to think how Riley would have reacted if he'd accepted.



Dinner was okay. I mean, the food was great. But Riley is sooooooooooooooooo boring. All he ever did was talk about how beautiful I am, which boosted my ego at first but even I soon grew tired of it.

Now I'm lying in bed, with Riley next to me. He's already made several hundred remarks about how we're technically sleeping together and how sexy I look in my underwear. If it wasn't so humid on this island I would not be sleeping in my knickers and bra with him in the same bed.

He also laughed at my doll, Lavender. It's not my fault I can't sleep without her.

Status: Round 1 Done; Round 2 in Progress

Tournament thingy: Cressida won't take part in any of the competition... she will enjoy watching though

Week One

The private Tour (Marco)

It is the second day of her holiday and Cressida has just finished a satisfying and very delicious breakfast. As she is on her back to her room she hears someone calling her. Surprised she turns around spotting Marco heading into her direction.
“Good Morning, Marco.” she greets him with a smile.
“Good Morning to you too. What are you doing later?” he asks looking at her.
“Nothing special. I thought of checking out the beach but I can always do that at any other day. Why are you asking?” Cressida replies as they step into one of the elevators.
“I got this book about the Caribbean fauna and flora and was wondering if you would like to explore some parts of the Island together with me?” Marco explains lips curled into a smile and an excited look on his face, “Nothing too far from the resort of course.”
“Oh… I would love to.” the blonde woman replies a bit surprised by his offer. Yes, he had told her during the flight that he was keen on exploring the Island but she hasn’t imagined that he would start immediately.
“Are you sure? I mean you don’t have to if you rather want to relax.” Marco says.
“Yes, I’m sure. The beach isn’t going to run away from me.” Cressida replies chuckling, “Neither is the ocean, the sun and everything else. Besides admit it without my company exploring this Island would be pretty boring.” she teases him, “I just need to get changed. How about we meet in the lobby in 20 minutes?” she steps out of the elevator looking at him.
“Works for me and I won’t admit such a thing. I bet you are the one who is going to enjoy my company more.” the man grins at her before the elevator door closes and he disappears from her sight.
“And where are we going first?” Cressida asks after they have met in the lobby.
“I don’t really mind… there are a few spots nearby worth visiting.” Marco replies with a shrug, “We can either check out a spot nearby which apparently is perfect for bird spotting or there is small bay about 30 minutes away from here. It is a bit hidden so I’m not sure if we are going to find it.”
“Mhm both options sounds good but you are a tour guide right? So why don’t we just pretend this a private tour and you do your usual program.” Cressida suggests lips curled into a smile.
“A private tour huh? You know this won’t come cheap, are you sure that you can afford it?” Marco teases her with a grin.
“I am and if not we can always add it to the list of things I still owe you.” she replies placing a hand on his arm.
“You should be careful, Cressida or this might be a very long list at the end of this holiday.” he says taking a step closer to her. “By the way you still haven’t told me how you would make it up to me for the shirt.”
“Mhm we will see about that…” the blonde woman grins at him, “Oh I’m not sure yet but you don’t have to worry I can be very creative. So am I getting my private tour or not?”
“I think I can make an exception for you.” Marco laughs shaking with his head, “If you will please follow me… I think there is a bird spotting place waiting for us.”
Cressida chuckles to herself as she picks up her backpack and camera before following him out of the hotel. They chat about various themes during the short walk, like their interests and Marco tells her more about his work as tour guide on Greece and it easy to see that he absolutely loves his job and is very passionate about it.
“And here we are…” the man tells her carefully pushing a few leaves out of the way revealing a clearing full of all kind of colourful birds.
“Wow this is amazing.” Cressida gasps as she slowly steps forwards trying not to scare the animals away. “There are so many of them and all those colours…” she looks around trying to count how many she can spot.
“I told you it is the perfect place.” Marco steps to her side camera already to take pictures of the birds, “Though I have to admit I didn’t think we would see this many of them.”
“I guess we got lucky then.” the blonde woman says lips curled into a smile. She has her own camera ready snapping a few pictures of a couple of red and blue parrots sitting in a small group next to her. “I think I have seen those before in the London Zoo… can’t remember the name though.” she purses her lips together looking closer at them. Next to her Marco starts laughing startling a few of the parrots. “What is so funny?” she asks one of her eyebrows arched up.
“Sorry… I just kinda have a hard time imagine you at the London Zoo.” he replies lips curled into a smile and looking at her with an amused expression.
“My friend Jasmine can be very persuading that means a lot since usually I can be stubborn as a mule.” Cressida chuckles when she notices something in the corner of her eye, “Look Marco, seems like we found two lovebirds.” she points at two green parrots cuddling with each other. She carefully grabs her camera but unfortunately steps on a small branch… the noise startles most of the parrots to fly away. “Oh crap!” she curses under her breath.
“It is okay. I think I have enough pictures besides there is still the small bay I wanted to show you.” Marco says with a smile placing a hand on her shoulder, “Unless you want to stay a bit longer…”
“No bay is fine with me but you are the  tour guide.” Cressida replies picking up her camera, “So lead the way.” she laughs pushing him towards the way they came from.
“´Who is the tour guide now.” Marco joins the laughter but makes no attempt to stop her. In the end they don’t manage to find the small bay but still discover a few more beautiful places. Back at the resort Cressida thanks Marco for the wonderful tour with a promise to make it up to him soon.

Jacuzzi Fun (Leo)

I can get used to this. Cressida thinks to herself as she is lying on the beach while enjoying the wonderful weather, the ocean in front of her and the book in her hand. It is her fourth day on the vacation and slowly she is starting to realize why Jasmine kept insisting on taking a holiday. To imagine that she nearly said no to the opportunity… the blonde woman shakes with her head. Maybe it has been a good decision for once in her life not to be too stubborn. Suddenly someone steps in front of her blocking the view and the sun shining down on her. Cressida looks up seeing that it is Leo smiling down at her.
“Enjoying yourself?” he asks lips curled into a grin.
“You have no idea.” she replies with a smile while she takes a longer look at him. She already has noticed during that the reception party that he is a good-looking man and the slight muscular body proves that he takes good care of himself. “What about yourself?”
“It is amazing… the food, the beach, the resort but the best are definitely the Jacuzzis. I could spend the whole day there just enjoying myself and being lazy.” Leo replies looking at her with a content and relaxed expression, “Actually I was wondering if you would like to join me. It can get pretty boring being alone in a Jacuzzi.”
“Somehow I have my doubts that you are alone all the time especially with all those people around.” the blonde woman replies chuckling.
“But maybe I haven’t found the right company yet.” he grins kneeling down right next to her, “So what do you say… you and me in a jacuzzi and a glass champagne.”
“Well I don’t want you to be bored.” Cressida teases before she pushes herself out of the comfortable lounger. She quickly stuffs her book and towel into her bag.
“Here let me help you.” Leo offers and grabs her bag. “Sebastian Fitzek?”
“A german author and his first book finally got published in English. I can’t say yet if it is good since I’m only at the second chapter but it is something different.” Cressida explains as they walk over to one of the resort’s jacuzzi. “I can borrow it to you… well if I get it done over the next weeks. I’m not exactly a reading person.” she chuckles.
“Here we are.” Leo sets down her bag before stepping into the Jacuzzi and sitting down.
“You must have been very confident that I was going to say yes.” the blonde woman says pointing at the bottle of champagne and two glasses on a small table.
“A little confidence is always good.” Leo remarks lips curled into a grin. Cressida shakes with her head as she joins him in the Jacuzzi.
“Oh god… this is amazing.” she exclaims leaning back against the seat and closing her eyes for a moment just enjoying the feeling of the warm water and the bubbles against her skin, “I can understand why you never want to leave.”
“I would never lie about something being this awesome.” Leo replies looking actually offended for a moment before his lips curl slowly into a smile. “You want a glass of champagne?”
“Yes please.” she nods with a smile, “And sorry but I think I haven’t felt this relaxed in ages.” She accepts the glass from him taking a sip. “My last vacation didn’t even come close to this.”
“Oh a little workaholic.” Leo teases while moving to sit closer next to her. “What do you do? Office work with sitting the whole day?”
“Maybe just a bit but I love my job.” Cressida replies with a shrug only to flinch in the next moment when she feels Leo’s hand on her shoulders. “Nope… not even close. I own a bridal store.”
“Okay I wouldn’t have guessed that but you are still pretty tense.” he says while rubbing and slightly massaging her shoulders. Cressida closes her eyes trying to ignore that his chest is almost pressed against her back or that she can feel his breath against her skin. “But must be really stressful…”
“It is. Brides can be - to put it nicely -  very demanding sometimes.” the blonde woman replies with a chuckle. “What about you? I’m tempted to say that you are a masseur but that would be too easy.” 
“I’m the one with office job though I think I’m definitely less tense that you are.” Leo laughs while his hands are slowly moving up and down her back. To say that she wasn’t enjoying his massage would be a lie.
“Is everything in order Mr. Hershaw?” a resort employee asks and Cressida startles a bit opening her eyes to look at the young woman.
“Everything is perfect. Thank you.” Leo replies politely. “Or is there anything missing for you, Cressida?”
“I’m fine, thank you.” she says lips curled into a smile. “Wait! Hershaw as the London Hershaw?” she asks after the employee has left. She turns around to look at the man.
“Yeah that would be my family.” Leo replies scratching the back of his head. “Sounds like you are familiar with us.”
“I wouldn’t say familiar but since I live in London as well it is hard to miss your family name.” the blonde woman explains, “Funny how small the world can be.”
“Indeed.” Leo nods in agreement, “And do you feel better?”
“I do feel less tense. Have you ever thought about becoming a masseur?” Cressida asks teasingly.
“Until now not really. But who knows if I’m going to be successful.” he grins at her.
“I would definitely book you.” she replies before reaching over to grab her glass champagne.
“Is this your way of saying you enjoyed my hands on your body?” Leo asks scooting a bit closer that their shoulders and legs are almost touching.
“Maybe… they are very soft and talented hands.” Cressida replies with a flirty smirk.
“Glad to hear that you enjoyed them.” Leo says grinning as he gets his own glass, “How about a toast?”
“Gladly… to a few more relaxing hours and holiday.” she suggests and he only nods in reply before clinking their glasses together.

A Snooker Game (Zack)

“Still drinking wine I see.” Zack comments as he sits down at the bar next to Cressida. “A glass of the Glengoyne 21 please.”
“Not everybody has to like the same things Zack. I prefer wine and you whiskey. I don’t see anything wrong with that.” Cressida replies with a shrug. “Besides I did drink a glass years ago and I didn’t like it.”
“You know there is good whiskey like this one.” Zack says pointing at his glass, “And then there is cheap whiskey… I guess you must have had the second one.”
“I can’t remember. It was 7 years ago in Scotland during my honeymoon at one of those whiskey tours. I didn’t pick it out myself… maybe that was the mistake.” the blonde woman explains before she takes a sip from her red wine.
“Honeymoon?” Zack asks and she immediately notices him looking at her hands. “But you wear no ring.”
“Which is usual if you are divorced.” Cressida shrugs, “But you got me curious… why is so important for you that I like whiskey?” she asks leaning a bit closer to him.
“It should be important for you as well. Trust me you have no idea what you have been missing and you should give it a second try.” Zack explains lips curled into a grin, “I have a very good taste and I promise I won’t pick a cheap whiskey for you.” his eyes linger a bit longer at her cleavage and if it were someone else she might have rolled her eyes but she has already noticed during their first conversation that he likes to flirt and to look. “How about a game to make it a bit more interesting?”
“What did you have in mind?” she asks carefully because a part of her isn’t sure if she can trust the mischievous glance in his eyes.
“Snooker. If I win you try a glass of whiskey I pick out for you…” Zack suggests pointing at the snooker table in the corner.
“And what if I win?” Cressida replies lips curled into a smirk since his idea does sound appealing though also a bit risky.
“Which won’t happen but I’m sure you will think of something.” he says and she would love to to wipe the confident and challenging smirk off his face.
“You got yourself a deal, Zack.” the blonde woman holds out her hand in his direction, “And you shouldn’t be so sure about yourself. Pride comes before a fall.”
“May the better one win.” he shakes her hand before heading over to the snooker table, “I assume you know the rules.”
“It has been a while but I think I got the basics covered.” Cressida replies as she grabs one of the snooker cues.
“Alright and since I can be a gentleman… ladies first.” Zack grins. Shaking with her head she bends over the table cue between her fingers as she looks at the snooker balls in front of her. She curses at herself for wearing a tight skirt tonight as she can feel it rising a bit not to mention that she is pretty sure Zack is looking at her butt. She tries to ignore it and focuses on the game instead. Taking a deep breath she hits the white ball with the cue. It is almost too much and she is lucky that none of the coloured balls land in one of the pockets.
This could have gone better… Cressida thinks to herself as she walks around the table trying to figure out her next move. She doesn’t have too many options.
“Need any help?” Zack says suddenly standing next to her and she almost hits him in the face with her cue. “Whoa careful there…”
“Then don’t scare me like that!” the blonde woman huffs, “And no thanks, I got this covered.” she grabs the cue placing it on the table. It is risky move but right now it is her only option… if she is lucky - extremely lucky - she might manage to get one of the red balls into a pocket. Taking a deep breath she leans on table only focusing on the balls in front of her. She is about to make her move when suddenly feels Zack’s hands on her hips. This time she doesn’t startle only glares at him from the side, “What are you doing?”
“Trying to help you. Don’t get me wrong I still wanna win but it won’t be that much fun if you can’t keep up with my skills at all. Just relax and let me show you how to do it.” Zack explains moving his hands from her hips to her wrist. “You are too tense… you need to relax.” he says breath tickling against her ear. “Just focus on the red ball and where you want it to go.” It is a lot harder to focus with Zack’s chest pressed against her back but somehow she manages to hit the ball unfortunately the red ball misses the pocket by a few centimetres.
“Looks like it is my turn.” he says lips curled into a grin as he steps away from her body and for a short moment she considers that he might be playing dirty.
You are being silly, Cressida. she thinks to herself watching Zack making his first move and she might have underestimated him. He is really good at Snooker managing to get three balls into the pockets but misses the fourth one.
“If you failed to tell me that you play professional…” the blonde woman says looking at him with her arms crossed.
“Never played professional, there are a few bars in Scotland where I usually enjoy a good whiskey and a game of snooker.” Zack replies with a smirk. “But maybe I should give it a try one day. Want me to help you again or think you can manage on your own this time?” he asks as Cressida bends over the table already knowing which ball she wants to hit.
“Well since you are already offering…” she says with a smile and this time she doesn’t flinch when she feels his hands wrapping themselves around her wrists. Lips curled into a smirk she presses her back against his chest.
“Behave.” Zack growls into her ear slightly tightening his grip. This time she manages to get a ball into one of the pockets with his help and even two more without him.
Cressida tries her best for the rest of the game but it doesn’t change much about the result. She manages to get a total of 8 balls into the pockets unfortunately Zack gets the rest making him the winner.
“Two glasses of the 1996 Aberfeldy please.” he orders after they have moved back to the bar.
“Sounds expensive and old.” Cressida remarks crossing her legs.
“Ah yes I should have mentioned that. Good whiskey has to be old, around 20 years is good though it can also be 10 years old.” Zack explains looking at her, “And of course I think scottish whiskey is the best.”
“Here you go.” the bartender sets down two glasses and while Zack immediately takes his glass moving it a few times while she looks a bit hesitating at her.
“It isn’t going to bite you.” he says chuckling. “And you can trust me. I told you I only pick out the good stuff.”
Cressida grabs the glass moving it as well before she takes a small sip… it doesn’t burn like she has expect and the taste isn’t completely unpleasant - it is somewhere between chocolatey, fruity and spicy notes.
“And what do you think of whiskey now?” Zack asks leaning on the bar and looking at her very interested. “Still going to prefer wine?”
“I must admit it isn’t bad and definitely not what I was expecting. I thought it would be more bitter and burn in my throat… at least that is how I remember my first whiskey experience.” Cressida replies. “But I like the taste of this one a lot more… I forgot the name though.”
“Whoever picked out your first whiskey must have been completely clueless.” he says shaking with his head, “Aberfeldy from 1996. So does that mean you might join me more often for a glass of whiskey in the evening?” he asks with a smirk.
“As long as you order the good whiskey your chances aren’t that bad.” Cressida says taking another sip from her glass.

The Tournament

Friday (Leo)

“Hey Cressida. This seat still free?” Leo asks with a smile. It is Friday, the first day of the tournament and she is still unsure if it is really necessary. She has no intention of joining and she wouldn’t even be here if the resort hasn’t decided that people only watching the games have to be in the arena as well.
“Hey yourself and yes it is.” Cressida replies, “But I’m surprised you are not taking part in the game. Given that you spend a lot of time in the Jacuzzi and the ocean I was already worrying about you never coming back ashore.” she adds chuckling.
“Sounds like someone has been watching me.” Leo teases with an amused expression, “I thought about joining but in the end tennis and archery sound more interesting so I’m going to try my luck there. What about you?”
“I wasn’t watching you. It is just hard not to notice you.” she replies arms crossed in front of her chest, “I’m not going to join anything. Not really a sport person… well except for jogging and cycling but since this isn’t part of the tournament.”
“Hard to miss huh? Well I know that I’m good looking.” he grins but she only rolls her eyes at him, “Okay so you are not a reading person and not a sport person. So what kind of person are you?”
“You forgot to mention your big ego.” Cressida teases, “Well you already know what I like my work, now and then I enjoy a glass of good wine while watching english crime shows. Oh and I like to try myself at gardening though I don’t have the best green thumb.”
“Wine? And yet I could have sworn that I saw you at the bar yesterday with Zack drinking whiskey.” Leo says and at the mention of the other man she unconsciously turns her head towards the participants spotting the Scot. It isn’t her first time seeing him without a shirt - and it won’t be the last time - but there is still a certain charm to it. Zack is a good-looking man there is no doubt about that.
“Ah yes. We played a game of snooker and since I lost had to drink a glass. It wasn’t bad and Zack has a good taste but if I had to decided I would always take the wine.” Cressida explains lips curled into a smile. “Don’t tell it Zack though.”
“Don’t worry your secret is safe with me.” Leo laughs, “And who do you think is going to win?”
“I have no idea… other than Zack I don’t know any of the participants. But I wouldn’t be too surprised if he makes it.” the blonde woman replies looking at the Scot again. “Well looks like we are going to find out soon.”
Zack makes it to the finale though in the end Cara is the winner. Cressida has seen the redhead around the resorts a few times and now seeing the Scot’s sour expression she thinks it isn’t that bad for his ego that once he lost.

Saturday (Zack)

“And here I was hoping to see at the court wearing a short skirt and a tight top.” Zack says with a grin before he sits down next to her.
“Sorry for ruining your fantasy.” Cressida replies rolling her eyes at him.
“Mhm I can forgive you this time. But this is nice too.” he notices eyes lingering a bit longer at her cleavage just like he has done during their snooker game.
“If you want I can borrow it to you though I don’t think it will look that good on you.” the blonde woman uses the opportunity to tease him a bit.
“Very funny.” Zack murmurs and she laughs at his expression, “But seriously why are watching? I already missed you during the swimming competition yesterday.”
“Watching is fun too and I’m not exactly a competitive person.” Cressida replies with a shrug noticing in the corner of her eyes that Marco is playing next. “And I’m sure that you didn’t exactly miss me but more the sight of me in a swimsuit and being wet… if you had paid more attention during the week you wouldn’t need a tournament to see me like this.” the blonde woman adds teasingly lips curled into a smirk.
“Oh trust me I have seen a few times and I like what I saw.” Zack grins.
Of course you did… Cressida thinks to herself but she does enjoy compliments since she takes good care of herself and her body. Not to forget that she did enjoy the view of Zack just in swim shorts and being wet from the swimming competition but he doesn’t need to know that.
“And is there anyone you are cheering for?” his question makes her snap back to reality and she quickly glances down because she has no idea who is playing right now.
“Mhm Leo and Marco.” she answers lips curled into a smile, “But I guess anybody is fine as long as the best one wins. What about you?”
“Nobody actually… there was the redhead but she is already out.” Zack says with a shrug and she remembers Cara seeing early and how Marco had hit her straight into the face. Even from this distance it has looked pretty bad and painful. Arthur wins and despite not knowing him Cressida still cheers because it has been a tight and long match but it is a well-deserved win in her opinion.

Sunday (Marco)

“Well if that isn’t my favourite tour guide.” Cressida smiles after she finally found Marco sitting among the others watching the archery tournament. “I brought you something to drink.”
“Do you even know any other tour guide?” he asks accepting the glass she has been holding, “What is this?”
“I don’t but you could just accept the compliment and say thank you.” she laughs as she sits down next to him, “A smoothie… something with orange, grapefruit, strawberries and I think either kiwi or mango. I had one in the morning already and they are delicious… and I was kinda hoping that it would be enough to make it up for the water incidence during the flight.” Cressida adds giving him her most innocent expression while she waits for him to give it a try.
“I accept it but only because the smoothie is delicious.” Marco says with a bright smile. “But getting me a second one won’t be enough for the private tour. You’ll need to be more creative in this case.”
“I know but I’m already working on something.” the blonde woman tells him, “By the way good performance yesterday except for hitting Cara in her face.”
“Trust me I was aiming for the ground but I already apologized and nothing is broken as far as she told me. Usually I’m better at Tennis but I guess yesterday was not my day.” Marco explains his lips pursed together, “But what about you? I don’t remember seeing you at any of the competition.”
“Oh I was there but while you were sweating I was sitting here with a cold drink.” Cressida explains lips curled into a bright smile.
“Sounds boring if you ask me.” Marco says before taking another sip of his smoothie.
“Aha and why are you not taking part in today’s tournament then?” she asks pointing a finger at his chest.
“I did one competition which is still more than you did.” he replies grinning. “But maybe it is good that you are only watching today or I wouldn’t be enjoying this delicious drink right now.”
“And I was thinking you enjoy my company as well.” Cressida says with a fake hurt expression.
“I do but you compared to the smoothie… I don’t think you want to know who would win.” Marco teases her and she gets the feeling that he is enjoying it.
“At this rate your smoothie will be gone soon and then you will be stuck with me. So careful Marco.” she teases back lips curled into a grin.
“True but I can always get a new one… oh look Leo made it to the finale.” Marco says and she turns her head to the competition. In the end Leo even manages to win and she is one of those who cheer the loudest.

The Bonfire (a bit of Zack)

It is the evening of the bonfire but Cressida doesn’t feel like partying… her head has hurt since two hours already and despite taking an aspirin it hasn’t gotten better. She has tried to enjoy herself but the combination of the loud music and the still hot weather isn’t doing the best for her throbbing headache. Taking a sip from her water she looks around the beach one more time noticing that everybody else is enjoying themselves at least. The blonde woman sets down her glass deciding that it would be the best to call it a night and just go to bed.
“Are you going already?” Cressida is almost in the resort’s lobby when she hears Zack’s voice behind her. Turning around she isn’t surprised to see him in yet again without a shirt but then again it is a beach bonfire. Though she has seen him walking around the resort with open shirts before.
“Yes, I’m not feeling well tonight and I think I rather go to bed than deal with my headache any longer.” the blonde woman explains wincing slightly as her head throbs again. “But it is nothing to worry about, Zack. Go back to the bonfire and enjoy yourself.”
“You sure? I can walk you back to your room if you want.” He offers and for a short moment she thinks about accepting his offer but in the end she decides against it.
“No thank you but thank you for offering.” Cressida leans over pressing a kiss on his cheeks. “Enjoy the rest of the evening, Zack.” she gives him a small smile before she walks into the hotel and towards her room.

Romantic interest:: Thiago Cardozo
Tournament position: player - Archery

Story: This past week went by very quickly. I spent most of my time at the beachside and the spa. I have also been writing about my experience so far. It’s been great. I couldn’t help but bump into Thiago a few times since we were also staying on the same floor. It’s like fate is trying to bring us together. We hadn’t spoken to each other after the party. The day before the sports tournaments started however, I went out on my balcony and there he was, on the balcony next to mine. He was sitting on a chair with a sketch pad and a pencil in his hands. Is he an artist? I couldn’t help but watch the slight movements of his hands. I suddenly wanted to know what it was that he was drawing. What was so beautiful that caught his attention? After a bit he looked up and noticed that I was staring at him. I immediately blushed.  “What are you looking at?” He asked.  “Sorry for staring, I was just curious. What are you drawing?”  “The view. It’s pretty amazing.” He replied. I looked in front of me and was caught short of breath. I was so intrigued by this guy that I didn’t notice what a beautiful view there is from the balcony. “I didn’t know you draw.” I asked him a few more questions about his drawing because that’s what I do best and he didn’t seem to mind at all. He seemed so passionate about it that I didn’t want him to stop talking. Since it was time for lunch, he asked me to join him at the poolside. I accepted and we both went. There he asked me a few questions about myself, like how old I was , where I’m  from and what it is that I do. I also learned that he’s from Mexico and that he wants to be the next Picasso. I realised that as long as the subject is art, he can speak for a long time.

I was only participating in Archery, so the other two tournaments I was going to watch them.  I didn’t take part in the first two days so I took a seat. I bet you can guess who was sitting next to me. This time, not by accident though because for some reason I actually looked for him. We didn’t talk much during the tournaments. Figures, it was not his subject. The third day I got ready to take part in Archery.  I was so nervous. The only reason I decided to enter this tournament was because everyone always say that I have a sense of aim. And I also really wanted to ride the helicopter. The round started. Everyone started to shoot. The bow was actually heavier than I thought so I missed my first shot but got back on track quick. I ended up in the final round. I just needed to make one more shot to win but unfortunately I missed. No helicopter for me.

That evening a bonfire was held for us losers, haha. It was actually pretty fun though. The music was great, not as loud as the music at the party which was great. All the lanterns made it seem beautiful too. Even the food was amazing. I was pretty embarrassed that I lost though so I tried not to bump into Ty this time. I did see him chugging another beer though. It was just great to be at a bonfire. I liked the music so much that I didn’t mind to dance along to it at all. There were a few people dancing so I joined them. It was the best night so far.

The Day before the tournament



There she was again, the beautiful blonde from before, and she was headed my way. Before I could flash her a smile she asked me where I was going and if instead I'd rather spend the day at the beach with her. It was all one sentence, no pauses for answers and I was intrigued by how upfront she was. For her I'd put off the mani-pedi I'd scheduled and spend the morning sitting in the sun.

The beach was emptier than I expected it to be and finding a place in the sand was less of a problem than I anticipated it being. Conversation came easily as I asked about her tattoos and hinted about mine, choosing to indicate only that it was along my panty line and was a symbol with special meaning. She told me about her boyfriend, seeming almost amused that she was here and he was...well she honestly wasn't sure. I noticed the way she absently drew images in the sand only to wipe them away, the smirk before she answered personal questions and the flash of intrigue in her eyes when I told her "maybe" after she asked about drinks some time later that week. I liked her but I wasn't looking to upset whatever delicate balance she may have with her boyfriend...if she was interested she'd have to be proactive about letting me know and a vague invite for drinks...well that's all it was. I did however tell her that I'd cheer her on in the swimming competition though...attending the tournament was mandatory and if I was being honest I was looking forward to seeing her in her swimsuit...because while I wouldn't touch (at least not without a clear go ahead) I could look...


The Tournament

Day 1 look



Andrea didn't disappoint...and while she didn't win she also seemed very grateful for the flask that I handed her afterwards. I'd picked it up in the gift shop, had it filled at the bar and hoped she liked tequilla...

Day 2 look



Tennis doesn't interest me at all. Seriously I just don't see the point, but if I had to be there I figured I should get some school work done. I brought my journal with me to the match and started focusing on people's mannerisms. If I wasn't mistaken it seemed as if Xander (the cute photographer from the welcome party) was watching me just as avidly as I was watching anyone else, and once we locked eyes my assumption was proven right as he got up from his seat and walked over to where I was, taking care not to hit anyone with his camera bag, and sat in one of the empty seats next to me.

"I was hoping to see you." he said as a way of greeting, "I've got something for you."

I braced myself for something weird...or inappropriate...or both, and was pleasantly surprised when instead he went through his bag and produced a couple of black and white images. It took a moment for me to realize that I was the focus of the shots.

"These are stunning." I said gently flipping through the photos before handing them back.

"Keep them." He said flashing a smile.

"Thank you." I replied, "Where'd you learn to take shots like this?"

He gave me some vague answer that wasn't really an answer and before I could ask anything else he was called away by his friends.

"Thanks again." I said as I gently tucked the pictures into my journal.

I wondered if I should have asked him out, but based on his answer about where he learned to shoot I doubt he would have been interested.

Day 3 look



Okay so confession time: the old lady scares me. Arabella I think her name is. Her outfits are fabulous but she doesn't exactly seem...warm. I think archery is as boring as tennis but I don't dare take notes within her sight. She seems like the type who wouldn't take kindly to being written about...

The Bonfire



What the hell do you wear to a bonfire that's basically a swanky beach party? That's the only thing running through my mind as I rummage through my luggage trying to find something that isn't too casual. An hour later, a shower and some eyeshadow and I'm pleased with what I've put together: a dressy romper, some cute sandals and loads of cleavage.

When I got to the beach I ignored the buffet and headed to the bar for a cranberry juice, wanting to be 100% clear headed. Scanning the crowd I found myself looking for Xander and his camera, finding them both in a corner as he snapped shots. I waited until he finished with his current set and approached him asking if he wanted to have dinner the following night. He asked if he could get back to me tomorrow...I gave him my room number and satisfied with myself headed up to my suite...

Girls since the round is a bit big and I see most of you are still unfinished, I'm going to extend Round 2 for another 24h.

So instead of closing at 1am on the 15th, the round will close at 1am on the 16th.
Hope this gives you time to finish the story so people don't get too far behind. Of course extra points will be given to those who did finish on time so it's not unfair for them


In the meanwhile a little snippet


The double doors of a large, squared room opened in complete silence which didn't stop those working inside to straighten their back and become stiff. All that could be heard was the sound of their keyboards and mouses clicking away their work.
A tall, dark haired man in his late forties walked inside, his ice blue eyes scanning the surveillance cameras that decorated the walls and the people working on their laptops. He approached a specific someone and his hand landed softly on a woman's shoulder.
"How are things going?"
The woman didn't take her eyes off the screen of the laptop but she didn't need to anyway. She clicked a few times and a chart appeared on the screen.
"We've separated the strong from the weaker. I believe we can initiate phase two."
"Good." He didn't smile, he didn't show any kind of satisfaction, he wasn't a fool like the others before him, scattered around the world.
"We'll begin with these three people and move upwards from there."
"No." His voice made the woman face him, a confused look on her eyes. She didn't dare to ask a thing. - "No, start with five."
"But sir -" She was shut by the piercing look the man gave her.
"You will start with five or you will be one of the five."
The woman nodded once, turning to the laptop as she highlighted five names and room numbers.
As soon as the man walked out of the room everyone released their breaths but didn't slack off; there was no slacking off on that research room.
The woman printed the names and took them to another desk, facing a younger man who seemed absorbed on his own work.
"Send out the invitations. We will begin with these." She handed the paper as the man furrowed his brows.
"But...five? It will raise suspicion."
"Five." She simply replied even if her own brain was screaming the same thing at her. - "We can deal with suspicion."
The man nodded at her just like she had nodded to her boss but she couldn't shake the feeling inside her. She walked to the mirrored windows of the room and placed a hand on the glass as she looked at all the guests arriving at the beach for the bonfire party.

Round 3

Three days went by after the bonfire party and things seem to have returned to the quiet routine, that is except for the fact that five people went missing.
Three of those people were random nameless guests who you may talk about and pick their names and gender if you'd like, but the other two are well known amongst ourselves.
Juliana and Arthur received an invitation to help the resort management team by running some tests the day after the party and they never returned to their rooms.

Snippet

“We need to talk.”
Zack's gaze rose from his newspaper to Andrea as she sat down in front of him, not before making sure no one suspitious was around.
“Darling if you want to  beg me something you don't need to look so ashamed.” He grinned.
“I'm not going to beg you anything.” She rolled her eyes, she really wasn't feeling patient at all. - “Something's wrong.”
“What? You're pregnant? Your period didn't show?” He grinned again, feeling Andrea's angry stare which made him laugh.
“If you could stop being a dickhead for two seconds and listen to me!” She snapped with a low voice as heads turned their way and this time Zack did stop laughing. His brows furrowed as he stared at the blonde woman.
“What is it?”
“Jules... she's gone.” She started tapping her foot, barely being able to contain her stress.
“Did she go home?”
“No. Her stuff is still in her room.”
“You invaded her room?” He asked, resting his chin on a hand.
“The specifics don't matter, what matters is that Jules is gone for three days. No one has seen her, I asked around.”
“Do you think she went exploring and got hurt?”
Andrea shook her head.
“I think it's worse.”
A brow now rose on Zack's face just as Andrea placed an envelope on the table. It was an invitation, coming from the resort, asking Juliana to assist them in a research. - “This was in her room.”
“I didn't get this.” Zack murmured as he read the letter again.
“Neither did I.” The blonde woman replied. - “But looks like she never came back from this.”
“She wasn't the only one.”
Both Zack and Andrea's head rose to find a ginger staring at them. They had seen her around, she seemed like the brainy type.
Charity took a long breath and placed an envelope on the table, just like the one Andrea had.
“You got the invitation?” Andrea's mouth dropped open, seeing Charity shake her head.
“No... Arthur did.”
“Arthur...” Zack repeated to himself, he didn't think he met the guy.
“He talked to me about it, we're staying in the same floor...” She explained, - “Just as you are.”
“Oh! The other guy in our floor! Now I know.” He smiled, letting it fade as soon as he realized what the girl had just told him. - “Wait, he's missing too?”
“Yes.” Charity sat down next to Andrea and Zack. - “He asked me if I got the same letter and I told him I didn't. Some guys came for him two days ago and he didn't return.”
“Shit.”
Andrea looked at them in silence.
“And just what are those gloomy faces?” Leo smiled as he approached the trio, sitting down next to Zack. Charity glanced at Zack and Andrea but the blonde woman was quick on her lips.
“Jules and this Arthur guy are missing.”
“Maybe they went somewhere to do the dirty thing?” He grinned, earning himself a death glare from Andrea and Charity. - “Or...not?”
“They're gone.” Zack added. - “Gone as in, we don't f*cking know where kind of gone.”
“Okay...” Leo seemed to be taken aback. - “...Now that you mention it, I knew a guy at the tournament that also went missing...Are we going to find them or...?”
“Yeah genius, where exactly do you suggest we start looking?” Andrea rolled her eyes, feeling all her piled up frustration fighting to be freed.
“I might have an answer to that...” Charity looked at the blonde woman. - “I... know how to look for things... I can try to hack into the resort's mainframe.”
“You can do that?” Leo asked with a face that resembled shock. Charity rose a brow on her face.
“Don't look so surprised.” she spat.
“Okay so you think you can do that?” Zack asked as Charity nodded. - “Good. I don't want to f*cking disappear too. And I bet no one wants either. So this is how we'll roll: We will warn the others about this and tell them to decline any invitations that come from the resort's management. Be discreet about it though; You” - he pointed at Charity - “will do your thing and hack into the resort's frame and find out what you can... We'll meet in some place later today.”
“Alright... Meet me in my room at 9pm. And don't put it on the newspaper, I don't want the wrong people knocking on my door.”

You will be warned about the missing people and the attempt at finding them by either Zack, Leo or Andrea and asked to meet up at 9pm in the first floor, in Charity's room.

There they will come to the conclusion there's something being hidden from them at the restricted area of the building right next to the hotel.
Charity will access the resort's files and find surveillance camera footage, letting them know they're being watched nearly everywhere on the island. She will also find some scientific research reports and maps of the building and island.

Snippet

“We need to get in there.” Zack grunted with his arms crossed over his chest, facing the small crowd that filled Charity's room. - “They have to be in that building.”
“There's a testing room in this building.” Xander murmured, running a finger over the blueprint. - “Maybe they're there.”
“I can get access to the building... I think. But I will need an access card to clone.”
Zack turned to the ginger, nodding.
“I'll go there. I'll get a card. Does that thing show where the lockerooms are?” Xander nodded, handing him the map. - “Good.”
“I'll go with you.” Andrea smiled. - “I can distract the security guard so you can sneak past him.”
“How do you plan on doing that?” Marco asked.
Andrea grinned. - “By using a woman's best weapon... Her boobs.”
“But I thought a woman's best weapon was -”
“Oh it doesn't matter, I'll use my sex appeal, just shut up.”
“Alright.” Zack turned to the rest of the group. - “Any other ladies that want to help Andrea distracting the guard talk with her, discuss the diversion tactic. I'll sneak in and open one of those god damned lockers and find not only an access card but also something to mingle in. I'll take a look on that building.”
“I'll go with you.” Xander's reply made some heads turn to him, which he hated. - “I'll take photo evidence so we can expose whatever they're doing in there.”
“Alright. Both of us will go then while you ladies distract the guards. We'll be in and out in a few minutes.”
“We need to leave this place.” Thiago's voice made itself heard for the first time since they all grouped in that room.
“I agree with the hipster here.” Riley leaned back on his chair. - “As much as I like mojitos and sunshine, I like my life much better. If they're doing scientific shit here I want out.”
“I'd say we pack our bags and find a nice opportunity to leave this hellhole.”
The group nodded to Andrea's words. - “But we need to find the missing people first.”
Charity searched a few more folders inside the resort's mainframe. - “If I get the access card we can get in there and save them. Then we can get the hell out of here.”

Everything will run smoothly. Andrea will come up with the plan of acting as if she and the girls are drunk and want to have fun with the big tough guys, which will give Xander and Zack the opportunity to enter the building and break open the lockeroom. They will walk out with an access card and a work schedule.

The next day Charity will be done with cloning the cards and those who want to be a part of the team will infiltrate the building disguised as researchers. They will find a way into the testing room, where all of their files are stored. All their informations are in those files, from jobs they had, homes they've lived in, surgeries and diseases they cured to DNA info. There will also be information about the scientific procedures that are meant to be tested, which will shock most people.
Xander will find Juliana and Arthur, along with the other three guests, locked up in a white room with bunker beds. Unfortunately before they can set them loose they hear the sound of workers walking down the hall and they have to retreat.

But now they know where the others are and Xander will be able to take photos of everything that is on those files.

IMPRESSIONS

These are based on your interactions with the extras so the more you write, the more I have to work with!

For those who still haven't finished R2, you can still catch up and impressions will come when you're done.

Click me!

Andrea - The blonde woman grinned, sipping the last of the tequilla Raven gave her. She loved the idea of getting her a bottle, it proved she paid attention. She never liked those cliché and ordinary gifts, she loved to get out-of-the-box stuff and this certainly fell on that category. She was very interesting even if she seemed to refrain a little around her. Andrea loved to see her in the bonfire attire, she was hot, and she liked hot people. Andrea just wondered if Raven had a more wild side to her.

Xander - She wanted to have dinner with him. His heart rate started to race as he wondered if she meant it as a date. Yeah it was probably a date. He wondered if he should go, God knew how he hated to talk about himself, fearing he had nothing interesting to tell and that she'd find him boring.
Xander shook those thoughts out of his head. Raven was a nice girl, just because she asked him to share dinner doesn't mean she wants to marry him. The blonde man looked at the printed photos he took on the island and swallowed hard. He wanted to go, to know her better but could it be possible to know her without having to talk about his life?

Optional plot:
Andrea wants to see just how wild Raven can get so she will dare her to skinny dip at night in the beach; She will also ask Raven to help in the distraction maneuver.
Xander will accept Raven's dinner invitation. He will be all ears to learn more about her life and past, and will try his best to answer any questions Raven might have for him (you can create any past for him to answer Raven's questions as long as it doesn't go OOC)

Click me!

Thiago - Ty couldn't help but smile as his brush stroked the canvas. He was happy to know more about Johanna and it was a relief that she didn't have a problem with asking all the question, made the conversation easier for him.
Not to mention she looked beautiful when she had lunch with him. Thiago stopped painting as an idea flooded his mind. He rose from his stool and ran inside the room to fetch his sketchbook. His hand moved almost as quickly as his brain as he drew the outline of a female figure, standing close to the water. He could picture the lavender colors of the figure's clothing and the nice contrast it had with the blue sea and the peachy sand.
His mouth dropped as he realized he was sketching Johanna.

Optional plot:
Thiago is rather bummed he didn't have the courage to ask Johanna to dance with him in the bonfire, being only able to watch her. He will try to correct that by inviting her to dinner and see the sunset three days after the party. They will get Peter's visit during dinner, who will let them know of the missing people and ask for them to appear at Charity's room at 9pm.

Leo - Aaliyah was interesting and spicy, he enjoyed that on girls. Well that and the fact she was hot too and he just couldn't help but imagine himself in bed with her and Andrea. But no, he was better than that, so he wouldn't dare try to turn those thoughts into actions. But he did like grabbing Aaliyah and carrying her into the water, allowed him to have a nice feel of her body. Maybe he should send her to the water more often?

Peter - The man smiled when he noticed his plan worked and Riley managed to make amends with Aaliyah. He had to admit though, he did find funny and sort of enjoyed being called fiance, it had never happened before. And with a fiance like her then all the better.
Peter stopped smiling as he found his reflection on the mirror, his face red as a tomato. The curly haired woman looked beautiful in that bonfire even if he had no idea how she could walk on the sand with those heels, he was so afraid she'd break a foot or twist her ankle. And she had been so nice about him feeling homesick, he knew quite a few people who would mock him instead. But now Pete was worried sick about Arthur going missing, he had to tell Aaliyah what Charity found out, maybe she'd be willing to help out.

Xander - As the blonde man laid down to sleep a realization hit him. He was always so afraid of showing more of his life and talk about himself to women but with Aaliyah it was so easy. He realized she reminded him of his niece, even if the girl was only 14 years old, but Aaliyah's bubbliness and spirits did remind him of her. That was probably why he was so much at ease with talking with her and sharing moments he would be otherwise frozen to death. Xander smiled, turning to his side. Maybe he found a good friend on that trip, who would have thought?

Optional plot:
For the next few days Leo will grab Aaliyah and throw her in the water whenever he sees her at the beach and have a huge kick out of seeing her all wet. That will stop though 3 days after the bonfire, when he learns that some people are missing. His face will be rather gloomy and it's up to Aaliyah to try and cheer him up;
Peter will invite Aaliyah to go on a sail boat to see the dolphins two days after the bonfire, claiming Riley will be there too. On the day of the trip, if she accepts, Riley will be sick so only the two of them will go. On the next day Peter will knock on Aaliyah's room to tell her about Arthur's disappearance but will find Andrea there and will learn that Juliana's missing too. Andrea will tell both of them to be in Charity's room at 9pm. Pete will want Aaliyah to go with him. After the meeting Andrea will ask Aaliyah's help to distract the guards and let the guys into the building; She will actually want to drink a few mojitos with Diamond and Aaliyah before the mission, just to add more realism to the thing.
Xander will try to talk Aaliyah out of the idea of helping in the distraction maneuver, thinking it will be dangerous, whether he succeeds or not it's up to you.

Andrea - She was loving this vacation. So many hot and interesting people around, not only had she found a friend in Juliana but she also found friends in the other girls. She loved kissing Diamond for a little tease, it gave her an adrenaline boost. It's not like she had romantic feelings for the woman but it was sure as hell fun, in the very least being able to mock Riley and Zack with the hot girl. But yeah she liked her company and the little group that seemed to form with them, Juliana and Aaliyah.

Riley - The man cursed under his breath as he showered in the morning. Just WHY did he have to wake up with not one, but two women in the same bed and yet have done nothing. Nothing! Just what the hell was wrong there? He had been too drunk to say or do anything and the girls went to sleep even faster than him. He was a sad excuse of a man, he was sure of it.
Riley continued to grunt to himself while he showered, walking afterwards to the balcony with a towel wrapping the important stuff. He had to do something, he wasn't going to give up just like that. He liked Diamond's personality, she was fiery and fun.

Zack - He couldn't help but laugh as he thought about that snooker game. Well it didn't hurt to try and play strip snooker, even if he was better with cards at that game. In the end he had a nice time with bat girl, which he wasn't expecting all that much. Perhaps she's more than the dark facade she shows people. He did find it weird that the woman decided to wear a piece of lingerie to the swimming competition but hey, he wasn't going to complain, for all he cared the whole tournament could have been with them all naked, it would have made things so much more interesting.

Optional plot:
Andrea will go to Di after the conversation with Zack and Charity, to tell her about the meeting at 9pm. She will ask Diamond to be a part of the diversion maneuver. The next day, after finding Arthur and Juliana locked up Andrea will be extremely sad for her friend so she will ask Diamond if she can spend the night in her room. Di can cheer her up as you'd like.
Riley will invite Diamond to dinner and drinks, trying his best to finish what he couldn't do the previous night which is taking her to his suite.
Zack will invite Diamond for a few drinks after the 9pm meeting, he's going to be in need of them for the job the next day. He will share some of his worries about the experiments being done to the five guests and his fear that they won't be able to leave that island on time.

Leo -The man's blue eyes shifted from the amazing view to the redhead sitting not too far from him, her hand being held by none other than Riley. Leo wondered if his frienemy had finally done something right even if another part of him felt a little jealous. But who was he kidding? He had Jules with him, even if she was gay, so no real luck there.
“I see that.” The woman's voice came just as his thoughts ended.
“What?”
“You staring at the hot redhead.” Juliana grinned, winking at Leo.
“Don't be stupid.”
“I'm never stupid. Okay, scratch that... I'm not stupid right now”
“Oh just shut it.”
“Gladly.” Juliana chuckled.

Riley - Okay so maybe he thought things would be different when Cara invited him to spend the night at the villa. Perhaps he thought she would sleep naked or become more wild with him and he certainly didn't expect her to sleep with a doll. It was kind of adorable though even if he would never admit it. Perhaps he was being too pushy, people kept saying that all the time. He wanted to get to properly know Cara so he vowed to keep his flirtatious self at bay.

Arthur - He was so glad Cara was okay and aside from a headache the party didn't seem to harm her all that much. He liked her even if she had a totally different personality from his. At least he thought so, after their lunch he wasn't so sure about the difference thing. She seemed to have a more serious side to her, not so party animal-like which was a pleasant surprise. He thought back to her invitation to have dinner, he wished he said yes but it didn't seem right. Cara had invited Riley after all, wouldn't he just be a third wheel? But he could make it up to her... Arthur smiled and wondered if she knew how to ride.

Optional plot:
Leo will be interested in knowing how the date night went with Riley and be all too happy to know Cara didn't particularly enjoy his company. Three days after the bonfire Leo will go to Cara to tell her about Arthur's disappearance and ask her to have dinner with him and go to Charity's room at 9 together. He will be quite shaken due to the situation so it will be up to Cara to cheer him up.
Riley does take a hint from time to time so he will approach Cara and ask for a clean start in which they can get to know each other decently. He will invite her for some drinks and darts and be sure to keep a ten feet safety distance since they all remember the archery competition.
Arthur will invite Cara to have dinner the day they go back to the resort (the day after the bonfire) to make up for his rejection earlier. He will have planned to go horse riding on the woods and then dinner. He will want to talk about his work and his passion for nature and horses and know more about Cara's passions.

Marco- The brown haired man smiled as he watched the photos on his laptop, he managed to take a few of Cressida without her noticing which turned out to be pretty funny. He liked her company, she was smart and fun and of course, beautiful. But beautiful or not, she better not think she's off the hook with “owing” him, she managed to get away with the smoothie but he will find a way to add more to the list... and those pictures will help him.

Leo- Yes he knew he was seen as a player. He didn't care much but the truth is people often talked more about him than they actually know. He might be sociable and fun and people liked being around him, specially women and he wasn't shy by any means, he wouldn't turn his back to female company but he did have standards, he wasn't like Riley who looked desperate. But yes he was certain Cressida would be up to lounging on the jacuzzi and he had been right. He liked touching her and massaging, letting her ease up over a glass of champagne. Maybe he would like to take that to another level, just maybe...

Zack- Of course he liked to watch a nicely sculpted body and Cressida's was no different. She was fun and didn't shy away from compliments and he loved her teasing at the snooker table. It got his blood running and he couldn't help but imagine her in his bed. Who would have thought those weeks in there would give him so much pleasure?

Optional:
Marco wants to add more stuff for Cress to owe him so he will print his photos and give them to Cress as a gift, together with a very cheeky smile. A day before the undercover mission he'll go to Cress' room and talk a bit about the whole testing scheme of the resort. If Cress decides to help on the undercover scene he will be very protective of her.
Leo will be the one to warn Cressida about the meet up at Charity's room and he'll walk her back when it's over. He'll be pretty gloom about the missing people but he'll crack a flirty joke or two about spending the evening in her room (if she takes him seriously or not it's up to you)
Zack won't be all too affected by the missing people, but he will show a bit of nervousness before taking the id card to clone. He can be found at the bar after the task, being a little tipsy because he went for vodka instead of his beloved whiskey. He'll babble some nonsense about duty and dropping everything and just go before Cress leads him to his room (or leaves him at the bar all by himself, whatever floats your boat)

Story

Being pushed into the water|| Leo, Peter

“Leo?! You pushed me into the water again, this is the fourth time!” Aaliyah was frustrated.

She didn’t mind the pushing, but getting her clothes wet was a no-no.

“Aaliyah?” Leo replied with a grin.

“I have had it with you!” Aaliyah replied getting out of the water once again.

Because of the material and color, her outfit became a see trough.

Leo’s eyes wandered down really fast.

“Eyes are up here honey,” Aaliyah replied with a huff.

“hmhmmm,” was the response but his eyes didn’t go an inch higher.

“Explain to me why you have been pushing me in the water all day for?” Aaliyah asked.

“I like seeing you wet,” Leo replied simply.

Aaliyah kept quiet than smirked.

“Like seeing you wet too but rather you invite me for a jacuzzi or something else,” Aaliyah replied.

“You are right! I like to invite you for a jacuzzi time right now,” Leo even bowed when he invited Aaliyah making the woman smile.

“Too late! Have been wet enough for today,” Aaliyah replied however and walked passed pushing him into the water.

“Don’t forget to dry up honey,” Aaliyah told him when he saw his surprised face.

Aaliyah had been having an alone time today after her spa treatment she had gone for a late breakfast than for a quick walk before Leo started to push her into the water which had been frustrated even though the first two times had been funny really, but after changing twice Aaliyah was getting annoyed.

While walking for dinner, everyone’s eyes were on Aaliyah seeing that her outfit hadn’t dry yet it was all there for everyone to see but Aaliyah was too hungry to care to re-dress once again.

“Would you mind if I join you for dinner?” Aaliyah turned around and saw Peter, “Pete, Of course not I would be delighted,” Aaliyah hooked her arm in his and pulled him along.

Even though Peter was trying really hard his eyes was also wondering down and every time his cheeks would turn red making Aaliyah smile up at him.

“Interesting outfit,” Peter finally said when they arrived at the restaurant.

“Oh, this old thing? it’s just wet, If you like you can help me take it off later, hubby” Aaliyah whispered in his ear.

Peter turned beet red which Aaliyah thought was the cutest thing ever.

“uhm...hmmm….” Pete started looking uncomfortable.

“Just think about it, Will here your thought later,” Aaliyah said simple sitting down.

“Tell me more about Mexico,” Aaliyah said to him when they were finally seated.

The topics of conversation went from one thing to another both sharing more about themselves Aaliyah was still afraid to talk about her heritage, but something told her she would tell Peter sooner than later but instead of running away or getting anxious she felt surreal and calm around Pete.

“I didn’t know you were an actor,” Aaliyah spoke up when the topic fell on their professions.

“Says the one with the angel voice,” Aaliyah chuckled.

“Not that good tell me what movie did you play in?” Pete shook his head.

“I am more of a series kind of guy,” Aaliyah was surprised at that.

“That’s awesome I feel like people really can fall in love with personage of course in movie too but in series, you get a better feeling get what I mean,”
“Yes, I think I do,” Pete replied with a smile.

“I like that you are smiling again,” Aaliyah noted it suited him better.

“That is because of you,” Pete replied red in the face.

“Me?” Aaliyah asked surprised.

“Yes,” Pete replied simply.

“So what do you miss the most from Mexico?” Aaliyah asked him

“Speaking Spanish all the time I think,” Pete replied.

“So tell me something in Spanish from your heart,” Aaliyah replied with a smile.

“Desearía que fueras mi esposa,” Pete replied with a loving smile it tugged on Aaliyah’s heart.

“What does it mean,” Aaliyah asked but Pete just gave another lovely smile and touched Aaliyah’s left cheek.

Before the night was over Pete invited Aaliyah for a sail-boot trip to see dolphins the next day Aaliyah accepted even though Pete told her Riley would be present to Aaliyah didn’t mind she wanted to spend more time with Pete getting to know him more.

Feeling like I am on the Titanic|| Peter

“Hey Pete,” Aaliyah waved at him and looked around not seeing Riley any were.

“Should we wait for Riley?” Aaliyah asked him.

“Hey Aaliyah, No it’s just the two of us Riley got himself sick,” Peter replied holding his hand out for Aaliyah.

“Ah properly heartbroken,” Aaliyah replied and took Peter’s hand to follow him on the boat

“Maybe he is, maybe he is not, stop teasing him,” Aaliyah looked indignantly.

“What?! Me?” Aaliyah replied pointing at herself looking innocent.

“Yes you,” Peter replied with a chuckle and smiled afterward.

“I really like your smile you now,” Aaliyah replied.

“Thank you, you look great,” Peter replied while looking away, his cheeks the red that Aaliyah liked so much.

“Thank you,” Aaliyah replied stepping on the boat with Peter’s help.

The boat trip to the dolphins was peaceful Aaliyah and Peter had a picnic that Peter had taken with him, she was hand feeding him. 

“Aaliyah I can eat myself,” Peter replied even after he took a bite of the food Aaliyah handed to him already.

“I know humor me,” Aaliyah replied grinning she really was enjoying her time with Peter.

“Say ahh,” Aaliyah snickered at the red blush.

“Ahhh,” Aaliyah hand-fed him a grape.

“See not too bad,” as answer Aaliyah got a head shake and another “ah,” which Aaliyah had to laugh at.

Finally, they arrived at the place where Dolphin where famous to have been seen.

“Look there,” Aaliyah was in awe.

“Where?” Peter came to sand behind Aaliyah with his chin on her shoulder.

“There,” Aaliyah replied and pointed at the dolphin’s she saw.

“I see them,” Aaliyah turned to the side and saw that Peter was also in awe.

“Beautiful right,” Aaliyah replied.

“Yes, Igual que tú,” Peter replied.

“What does it mean,” Aaliyah replied looking at the dolphins.

“Just like you,” Aaliyah smiled.

“Here my brother thought me this open your arms,” Aaliyah did as she was told.

“And close your eyes,” Aaliyah complied once again.

“Doesn’t it feel like you're flying?” Aaliyah nodded at the soft voice of Peter’s in her ear.

Aaliyah did feel like she was flying especially because Peter was raising her up a little.

“I have always liked dolphin’s,” Aaliyah tells him softly when he finally set her on her feet.

“Why?” Peter replies.

“They seem so mythical,” Aaliyah replies turning sideways once again to just see that Peter was still focused on the dolphins.

“Yet you have a birds tattoo on your leg,” Aaliyah smiled at that and turned around to look at the dolphins swimming by.

“Because I wanted to show that I was finally free,” Aaliyah replied softly.

“Free from what?” Peter asked putting his arms around Aaliyah's waist.

Aaliyah signed feeling at peace she would be finally telling someone about her past and she was ready.

“You may have wondered why I never talk about my past,” Aaliyah started.

“Kind of, yes,” Peter responded.

Aaliyah finally opened up to someone about her past, how she had felt imprisoned in her own home, how unlovely her parents were, she had always felt like she was a product of manipulation, that when she finally was set free she never wanted to go back, so she ran away from her secure future.
“I am sorry you deserved a happy childhood Aaliyah but more than that it did make you stronger,” Peter replied after Aaliyah was done.

“Really, You think so?” Aaliyah replied turning around in his arms.

“I know so the woman before I, is not only beautiful, nice, smart, talented but also I just learned so strong to escape her cage,” Peter replied looking down at her.

Aaliyah smiled.

“Quiero aprender mucho más sobre ti,” Instead of asking what he meant Aaliyah went on her toes and kissed him on his lips.

“I would like to learn Spanish so badly,” Aaliyah told him.

“Te enseñaré todo,” Peter replied at a smiling Aaliyah before he kissed her lips once again.

How do you mean gone|| Andrea, Peter

It was too early for the heavy knocks on her door really but looking on the room clock it seemed that Aaliyah had heavily overslept.

“Yes,  I am coming,” Aaliyah replied at the door getting annoyed.

“What?!” Aaliyah replied opening her door to see Andrea looking devastated.

“What’s wrong with you?” Aaliyah asked Andrea worried about the girl.

“I couldn’t find you I thought you were missing too,” Aaliyah frowned.

“What do you mean by missing too,” Aaliyah asked confused.

“Aaliyah where have you been yesterday?” Andrea asked puzzled.

“On a boat with….” Andrea silent Aaliyah with her hand.

“That was sarcastic I mean seriously Aaliyah, Jules is missing!” Andrea said clearly annoyed and worried all in one.

“What do you mean missing?” Aaliyah replied getting anguish.

“She has been gone for three days, no one has seen her, and her clothes are still in her room,” Aaliyah frowned now that Andrea was talking about this she indeed hasn’t seen Jules around.

“You may be right I haven’t seen her around either,” Aaliyah replied with a frown.

Before Andrea can answer another knock was heard in her room.

“Sorry, I have to open this,” Andrea looked scared for a moment than shock her head.

“Aaliyah!” Aaliyah smiled at seeing Peter before he saw his face.

“Peter?! What wrong?” Aaliyah asked worriedly.

“Arthur is missing,” Peter replied not all too happy.

“What him too?” Aaliyah frowned and pushed the door open more.

“Yes, and three other people,” Andrea replied.

Aaliyah pulled Peter inside and closed the door before sitting down.

“What is going on?” Aaliyah asked them Andrea answered.

“They all received a letter from the resort management team but none return,” Pete nodded at what Andrea said.

“That’s some scary sh*t,” Aaliyah shuddered and Peter put his hand on her knee which Aaliyah was grateful for.

“But we have to get them back,” Andrea smiled.

“I knew I could count on you girl,” Aaliyah chuckled and shook her head at her.

“Duh, of course, what should we do,” Aaliyah replied ready to help out her two friends.

“You two be on the first floor at 9 pm in Charity’s room which is 103,” Andrea replied walking to the door.

“I have to go warn some more people,” Aaliyah nodded.

“Be careful,” Aaliyah replied however not wanting to miss Andrea also.

“I will,” Andrea replied and walked out.

“Are you okay?” Peter asked Aaliyah.

“Are you?” Aaliyah asked Peter.

Both kept quiet but had a peace of mind from each other, Aaliyah turned her hand under that of Peter to hold his.

“I am going to stay with you,” Peter spoke up after a minute or so silence.

“I would appreciate that, thank you,” Aaliyah replied her head on Peter’s shoulder.

The vacation was fake it had sounded too good to be true after all, Aaliyah thought before her eyes closed. Not soon after Aaliyah fell asleep so did Peter.
The only sound in the room where their breaths.

They woke just in time for Aaliyah to shower and re-dress and go to Charity when they arrived it was already kinda full. Aaliyah refused to let go of Peter’s hand it was comfortable to have him close.

Her the name is Charity, not Nancy Drew|| Friends and people

Aaliyah was looking around in the room standing close to Andrea and Peter.

“We need to get in there.” A man grunted with his arms crossed over his chest.

“They have to be in that building.” The man continued Aaliyah looked at the blueprint of the island and where he was pointing.

“There's a testing room in this building.” Xander murmured running his finger over the blueprint, “Maybe they're there.”

Aaliyah had to give them some pros or whoever made it the blueprint was amazingly done.

“I can get access to the building... I think. But I will need an access card to clone.” Aaliyah turned to the owner of the room.

Charity is her name right? Aaliyah thought to herself.

The man nodded.

“I'll go there. I'll get a card. Does that thing show where the locker-rooms are?”
Xander nodded at him handing him the map.

“Good.” the man replied.

“I'll go with you.” Andrea smiled.

“I can distract the security guard so you can sneak past him.” Aaliyah liked her idea.

“How do you plan on doing that?” Some other guy asked.

Andrea grinned.

“By using a woman's best weapon... Her boobs.” Aaliyah snickered and turned to Peter who was looking at hers.

“You just saw them,” Aaliyah mumbled making him turn red.

Which she smiled at.

“Alright.” Zack turned to the rest of the group.
“Any other ladies that want to help Andrea distracting the guard talk with her, discuss the diversion tactic. I'll sneak in and open one of those god damned lockers and find not only an access card but also something to mingle in. I'll take a look at that building.”

Aaliyah already nodded at Andrea to let her know she was in she also saw Diamond and two other girls nod their heads.

“I'll go with you.” Xander's reply Aaliyah turned to look at him.

“I'll take photo evidence so we can expose whatever they're doing in there.” Aaliyah nodded that would be smart.


“Alright. Both of us will go then while you ladies distract the guards. We'll be in and out in a few minutes.” the man said.

“We need to leave this place.” someone spoke up that Aaliyah didn’t know really there were so many hot guys Aaliyah turned to look at Xander than Peter she was turned or did it just feel like that?

“I agree with the hipster here.” Riley leaned back in his chair.

“As much as I like mojitos and the sunshine, I like my life much better. If they're doing scientific shit here I want out.”Riley finished.

“I'd say we pack our bags and find a nice opportunity to leave this hell hole.”
Everyone nodded to that agreeing to Andrea’s word.

“But we need to find the missing people first.”

Charity searched a few more folders inside the resort's mainframe.

“If I get the access card we can get in there and save them. Then we can get the hell out of here.”

Everyone agreed to those words.

Andrea mention for the girls that wanted to distract the guards to come closer to her.

“Like I said we are going to distract the guards so we need to show our best weapon,” Everyone nodded at her words.

“I want to see short and open stuff,”

“We get it Soul-sister short and revealing,” Aaliyah replied with a wink.

“Exactly,” Andrea replied with a smirk.

“We can use my room,” A girl replied speaking up.

“That’s great Raven,” Andrea replied.

“We also can get drinks so that we appear drunk,” Andrea replied.

“Like that idea,” Aaliyah laughed at the smile on Diamonds face it was so mischievous.

“Than how late should we get ready,” a beautiful red-head asked.

After they agreed on the time and what the best idea was to distract the guard’s Aaliyah was called away from the group by Xander.

I like you like a friend|| Xander, Andrea

“Hey Aaliyah,” Xander said looking gloomy which made Aaliyah worry.

“Yes?” Aaliyah asked.

“I really think you should rethink joining?” Xander told her softly.

“Why would you say that?” Aaliyah asked looking at him confused.

“As a friend, I don’t want anything to happen to you,” Xander replied looking worried.

Friend??? He saw her as a friend, Thinking about it Aaliyah new way she felt thorn some seconds ago. It should have given her a sad feeling but instead, Aaliyah was happy that he called her his friend Aaliyah looked behind him to see Peter talking with Riley and like he felt something he looked up and their eyes met.

Aaliyah smiled.

“Thank you, Xander, for looking out for me but those people taken are also my friend and just like you said I would hate for something to happen to them,”

“You are stronger than I thought,” Xander replied softly.

“Heard something like that before,” Aaliyah replied and smiled.

“Thank you for helping also thought,” Aaliyah replied all smiley.

“I really hope you never lose that smile,” Xander replied looking gloom.

“Stop being so gloomy Xander nothing will happen I am a grown woman, I know how to get myself out of trouble,” Aaliyah replied thinking about how much she

Xander gave Aaliyah a strange look.

“Sorry you reminded me so much of my niece,” Xander replied and Aaliyah raised an eyebrow were raised.

“I hope she is cute,” Aaliyah replied with a smirk.

“She certainly is but I love her for her personality,” Xander replied with a tiny smile.

“You do know I am wicked right,” Aaliyah replied.

“I think your more bubbly,” Xander replied seriously.

“Only outside the bedroom,” Aaliyah replied innocently.

“What did I hear about bed-room,” Andrea replied showing back up behind Aaliyah.

“I am so wicked in bed,” Aaliyah told her.

“Ah that was the kinky sound I heard downstairs yesterday,” Andrea replied hugging Aaliyah from behind.

“What are you talking about? You were with me yesterday, remember” The girls looked at each other and burst out laughing.

“You two slept together yesterday?” Xander asked confused.

“No, Aaliyah is as straight as a pole,” Andrea replied.

“No way my pole can bend sometimes,” Aaliyah replied smirking so did Andrea.

“Good to know,” Andrea replied.

Aaliyah then saw Leo and frowned he looked so lost totally not like the smiling and teasing guy Aaliyah got to know so well. She had to do something about it.

After the meeting was over Aaliyah strict some people for a party and of course she made sure Leo would be there to it would be their last night her properly if everything went right they would be gone as soon as the mission complied.

Cheer up|| Leo

“Cheer up, Leo, Let’s have a drink,” Aaliyah replied when she saw him sit on his own in the corner.

“Your too happy for someone that’s their friends are missing,” Leo replied looking sad.

“What do you want me to do cry, or mop around like you?” Aaliyah replied sitting next to him.

“Yes it would be realistic,” Aaliyah raised an eyebrow.

“Look where we are Leo for the last night I know my friends they would have enjoyed there last night before going to the rescue, or are you scared?”

“Of course I am scared you should be scared too,” Leo replied astonish.

Aaliyah shook her head.

“My parents have been scaring me my whole life,” Aaliyah replied done with being scared of other people.

“I swear on this drink that after this adventure is over I will go back home and confront them,” Aaliyah replied resolutely.

“What about you?” Aaliyah replied looking at a surprised Leo.

Leo was quiet for a second thinking before replying.

“I would like to have someone beside me in my life,” Leo replied.

“That’s it! This is just an adventure we will survive it together,” Aaliyah replied

“So can I get a toast on that?” Aaliyah asked him holding up her glass.

“You are so weird,” Leo replied with a smile but hit his glass of drink with Aaliyah’s

“Like I haven’t heard that one before and look you are smiling!
Finally, I missed your smile,” Aaliyah replied smiling back.

“Thanks, Ali,” Leo smile only grew bigger.

“No worries Leo,” Aaliyah replied taking a sip from her glass.

“I really wished there was water around,” Leo replied looking Aaliyah up and down.

“Leo!” Aaliyah replied glaring at him.

His smile grew in a full out laughter which made Aaliyah also laugh out loud.

Mission distraction|| Peter, Andrea, Cara, Diamond, Raven

Aaliyah had to cut one of her long dresses to get her short dress.
She had been running late because she had flat ironed her hair which had been a pain in the ass but it had the wanted effect she looked hot.

She heard the door when she just finished applying her red lipstick.

“Coming,” She yelled and rushed to the door.

“Holy Sh*t,” Andrea’s mouth was hanging open.

“Jesucristo me ha enviado una diosa,” Peter replied cheeks burning red.

“I know we had to dress at Raven’s but my hair took ages,” Aaliyah replied and looked at the two people in front of her door.

“Wow, Aaliyah you are looking smoking hot,” Aaliyah laughed and looked at Andrea’s short black dress that didn’t hide anything.

“So are you, baby,” Andrea laughed and winked.

“I really need to get that red lipstick on,” Andrea replied walking into Aaliyah’s room.

“Somewhere in the bathroom,” Aaliyah replied pointing.

“Aaliyah can I talk to you for a second,” Pete asked when Andrea walked away.

“Sure,” Aaliyah replied letting him in.

“I don’t want you to go anymore,”

“Why not?” Aaliyah asked.

If he said he was worried about her as friend Aaliyah was going to hit something.

“Because I am kind of jealous I don’t want anyone seeing you like this or to touch you,” Aaliyah blinked and his word.

Aaliyah blushed for the first time in her life she blushed and was speechless.

“I mean it, Aaliyah,” Peter said still with red cheeks but his eyes were serious.

“No can't-do she has to come she is one of our weapons,” Aaliyah nodded at Andrea’s word but when she saw Peter’s face fell.

She warped her arms around his neck and kissed his lips.

“Ah come on you can do this later,” Aaliyah pulled away from his lips.


“I am all yours, think about how you are going to get my dress off later, when I return,” Aaliyah whispered softly into his ear before biting it.

“All right Aaliyah time to go,” Aaliyah was pulled back by Andrea but kissed Pete on his cheek before she left with her.

“Bah, I hate lovesick girls,” Andrea said as soon as they left.

“Whatever, Let’s get this over with I like to have a steamy night later,” Aaliyah replied seriously which made Andrea laugh.

The plan had been simple and it had worked which wasn’t all too surprising. Raven had worn a beautiful white dress with gold that was easy as sexy as Andrea’s black one. The other girl which name seemed to be Cara wore a black dress with pink it had been short she couldn’t even bow down which she had done so that the guard had seen it was Diamond see-through black dress that sold the guard or maybe Andrea and Raven kissing all in all Aaliyah had played the sober girl that looked after the girls but was the biggest flirt. It had been pretty fun to play with the guard but Aaliyah just wanted to be with Peter all the time she was with the guard thank god her dress was a good distraction from her longing mood to someone else. Andrea went away for a second that was the moment Cara became the flirt girl till Andrea came back to gave the let's go back sign which all girl complied to immediately all with a well rehearsed excuse.

Monday:

"So how was your night?"
I stopped in the staircase to find Arthur stood a few steps below me. I moved back down to join him. "Yeaaaaaah it was okay I guess."
"Really? That doesn't sound convincing."
I shrugged, "Could have been better I guess."
"I'm sorry I turned dinner down."
I shrugged again. "Don't worry about it."
"I was thinking, if you're up for it, we could eat together tonight?"
"Erm sure, sounds good."
"Have you ever ridden before?"
"I had a bike when I was little but I've never learned how to ride it without stabilisers - "
Arthur laughed. "I meant a horse, actually."
"Oh." I felt my cheeks go scarlet. Why am I always so stupid? "You could say I have..."
"Great! Let's meet at the stables at 3"
"Sounds good"

* * * * * * * * * *



Arthur was impressed with my riding skills, and even said he'd never met someone who as good as me. I didn't have the heart to tell him that I'm a professional jockey.



I really enjoyed dinner with Arthur. I avoided the wine, instead taking advantage of the good company. It was interesting to hear about his love of nature, and of course horses. Hopefully, he enjoyed hearing about my life too.

I eventually told him about being a jockey, which he seemed very excited about. I may or may not have invited him to come and watch my next race in the VIP box. I also told him that I'm on a health and beauty course, with the aim to have my own salon. He seemed impressed with that too.

And I even wore a long dress. He told me how uncomfortable my party outfit had made him feel.


Tuesday:

Riley confronted me before, apologising for how he'd been behaving around me. With jerks like that, I normally shrug and walk away. But Riley seemed different. Maybe it was just his good looks, but he genuinely seemed sorry. Maybe I'd misjudged him.

Anyway, I agreed to meet him for drinks and darts.



Surprisingly, it was a good evening. I'd never played darts before, but Riley carefully guided my hand; although he still kept his distance a bit. Maybe it was because he didn't want to scare me off, or maybe because he'd seen me in the archery competition. Either way, we had drinks as we played. I only had 2 vodka and cokes, but things still got hazy towards the end of the night. However, I do clearly remember Riley walking me back to my room, and not taking advantage of me at all.

I actually won the darts. But I think that was because Riley let me win.


Wednesday:

I couldn't believe what Leo had told me; I still can't. As soon as he said that Leo had been taken I felt sick. All I could think about was Arthur, completely lost. My heart couldn't take it.

But Leo seemed worse. He seemed completely shaken, which is why I agreed to have dinner with him. I honestly didn't feel like it, but I didn't want to be alone either. Which is why I went.



I guess it was okay, it was a little awkward sometimes but it was okay. He seemed to enjoy the fact I'd not had a good dinner with Riley on Sunday, a small smile spread on his face. It soon faded though, as the harsh reality of the present caught up with us.

After the meal we headed up to Charity's room, and I was unable to help thinking about the first time I'd met her. I thought she was stubborn, rude even, but she seems smart.

Together we came up with a plan. For the first time, the guests will unite and work together.


Thursday:



I may not be the brightest tool in the box, but even I could go along with this plan. Dressing up sexy. I can do that. Get drunk - even better!

I flirted with the men, kissed them, and sure as heck distracted them. I just hope the others carried out their side of the plan.

Only after did I realise that I only had to pretend to be drunk, not actually be drunk...

Name: Diamond V.
Age: 21
Romantic Interest: Riley, Andrea, Zack
Round status: R1 complete, R2 complete, R3 complete

Diamond: Are you kidding me? Missing?
Andrea: Yes, Diamond! They're Fing missing.
D: Are you sure they're not passed out somewhere. I mean we everyone was wasted the night before.
A: I said they're missing, OK? I Fing know them!
D: So what do we do? Call the police?
A: NO! WE an the guys have a plan.
D: A plane? What the f is this Andrea? We're not detectives. This is not a game.
A: You don't think I know that? But we can't call the police
D: Why not?
A: Because we think "they" have them.
D: "they"?
A: The management, Fing Illuminati. I don't Fing know. WE believe that "they" condone human testing.
D: Oh my Fing God! I knew it wa s too good to be true. This whole free vacation bullshit.
A: I love how you just don't find it weird at all and act like it happened to you before. Haha
D: I've seen way to many horror movies and Shane Dawson conspiracy theories. I'm not going to be that stupid bitch who doesn't believe and gets killed first.
A: OMG, I Fing love Shane and his...
D: Yeah we don't have time for that.
A: Right. So will you help us.
D: Of course. What do we do.
A: Meet me and the rest at 9pm in Charity's room. Oh and wear something slutty. And be dizzy.
D: OK.
A: Pack your stuff. And take care!
D: Yeah, you too.

After Andrea left I started packing my shit. Or I tried, I wast too worried. It was already 6pm when I finished and I decided to get dressed and go for some drinks.

Zack: Hey, Bat G.. I mean Di. Wait for me.
D: Oh, hey Zack!
Zack: Did Andrea told you about... ?
D: Yeah, that's why I'm heading to the bar.
Z: Can I join you?
D: Sure. Why the f not? We're probably gonna end up in some science lab..
Z: Shh, stop it! You can't do that. WE have to remain calm if we want to do this right.
D: CALM? DO THIS right? Do you even hear yourself? We are not under cover detectives. We're just broke us unemployeds who can't afford to pay for their own holidays. That's way they chose us.
Z: Let's drink.

They had a couple of drinks together and Zack explained to D. the whole plan.

In Charity's room:
A: OK,  let's do this.
D: Let's.



A: Oh my God! We did it!
D: I can't believe we did it! I don't recall anything, but we Fing did it!

The plan went smoothly, they managed to seduce the guard by acting drunk-horny-and kind stupid at the same time.

The second mission: Diamond decides not to go. It would be strange if nobody would be at the resort having fun. She hated wearing the not so black clothes anyway. Also, if something goes wrong a new team would have to save them.

Later that day:
Zack, Andre and Riley tell Diamond everything.
D: Oh my God! Why are they doing it? F me!
A: I don't Fing know. I just want to get them out and Fing leave these place.
R: WE need to remain calm. We need to make a real plan and save them. If we fail the first time, I'm afraid there won't be a second time.
Z: Yeah Riley is right. We have to do something. But not today. We need to have a party or something otherwise they might become suspicious. We need to act as normal as possible.
D: Yeah easy to say for the guy who makes jokes about everything.
Z: You really think I'm like that?
D: No, Zack. Wait, that's not (Zack leaves) what I meant...
A: F. Guys we have to stay together, I'll go after him.

D: Why the F did I say that? I'm so Fing stupid!
R: He'll be fine, he's Zack.
D: Yeah, maybe... I'll have to apologise to him later.
R: WOW, did you really say that? haha
D: Yeah, I'm a nice person... sometimes.
R: Yeah, sometimes haha
D: Hei, I can say that, not you. I'm kidding haha

Diamond leans over and kisses Riley.

R: Are you sure we should...?
D: It might be the last. So, are you in?
R: HELL YEAH.

And the rest is not PG.
