The Weekend With The Beta 1

he gut, causing me to cry instead. Leah rushed to my side and wrapped her arms around me. I hugged her back and sobbed into her shoulder. "There, there, it will be okay Nicole," she comforted me. "You're one of the strongest women I know. You will be fine." "Yeah, I guess you're right." I sniffed, trying not to show her my tears. "Of course I'm right, now let's stop crying," she declared. "Sure." I giggled. "But do you like anybody?" "Leah! I thought we were done with the subject?" I said annoyed, not wanting to talk about this anymore. "No. You were standing pretty close to Zach last night." "I was drunk, he was helping me." I rolled my eyes. "You sound so defensive. Fine! No more questions." And just like that, our conversation turned to lighter topics and I felt better than I did before. It still hurt a little, but knowing Leah was there helped. We talked about random things for a few minutes until I left for my room and Leah needed to rest too. I didn't know when I fell asleep but when I woke up, it was already evening. I helped Leah prepare dinner. And when it was time to eat, it felt awkward sitting there and looking directly at Zach. I could have switched seats but I didn't want to make it look weird. I tried to look up as much as I could but it was impossible to focus on anything when I was staring at his lips. It took everything in me to keep my eyes away.

A part of me wanted to use the jacuzzi. I knew Zach would be there and yet I still wanted to, maybe I wanted to see him. When I got there, I saw him, he noticed my presence as well, and it felt like the world stopped and everything was moving in slow motion. "Can't sleep? What's wrong?" He asked as he popped his head out of the water. "Nothing, I think it's my turn now, get out of the water. I am here for the jacuzzi, just the jacuzzi." I said as I moved towards him. He did as I had commanded, stepping out, he had only his underwear on. His skin glistened wetly and I had trouble taking my eyes off his naked body. It almost felt sinful but I refused to acknowledge it. "Take a photo while it lasts." Zach suggested when I finally lifted my eyes to meet his gaze. His face showed amusement mixed with curiosity and I was grateful he didn't seem upset about me looking like a pervert. "I'll delete it later, but thanks." "That's it?" He seemed amused. "What?" He was walking towards me and I was frozen in place. My heart was beating rapidly in my chest. "Did you
